Economical Hints for the Kitchen.

Among the cheap and nutritious meats
may be mentioned tripe Twice week,
each time in different way, this dish
would be acceptable to many. Where the
meat dish is light cheese or macaroni
may be served with it, thus keeping up
the required amount of nourishment.
Lentils also contain so much nitrogenous
food that very light or made-over meats
should accompany them. Variety will be
found to be more economical, at the same
time more beneficial to health and appe-
tite than the usual rounds of the Ameri-
can housewife. When a quart-can of to-
matces is opened for soup, one half only
should be used, and with quart of stock
(the latter costs nothing, if all stock ma
terials are saved), little suet, -four,
onion and bay leaf, makes a delightful
dinner soup, and quite enough for family
of six. The few pieces of bread left from
breakfast may be cut into squares and
toasted to serve with it. The remaining
half of the tomatoes should be put in a
bowl or jar and used next day for sauce,
scalloped, or if mixed with obra and rice
will make nice dish for lunch. Do not
waste even slice of tomato or leaf of
cabbage, and at the end of the year you
will be well paid.

The Latest Feminine Dog Craze.

Although the fashionable world adopts
from time to time, many novel and curiou:
kinds of pets, the dog, as a really domestic
animal, rarely meets with formidable
rival. In all his breeds, from the tiny toy
terrier to the huge mastiff, he reigns su.
preme in town and country 1t is, there
fore, matter of Importance that new
dog is about to appear in our midst. There
was great demand for fresh canine; the
rotund English pug had been voted sleepy
and stupid; the great settlers somewhat toe
exuberant in their spirits for everyday
companionship, so it is expected and hoped
that the stranger will strike the happy
medium line. He is little, and furry and
black, not unlike small spitz, and he halls
from the low countries. He has all the
requisite good qualities, being afectionate
and vivacious, added to which, he is an
expert rat-catcher. His dogship will find
his debut into our drawing-rooms consider.

Meaning of the Word Limited.

A subscriber asks for an explanation Of
the word limited" which frequently fol-
lows the name of corporation, as the
Sunrise Backing Company, limited" or
Smith & Jones, limited" In the last
case, as in the first, the concern is a cor
poration, with shareholders, not one of
whom, possibly, is a Smith or Jones
The old principal of corporations created
by legislative Actwas that the entire prop
erty of every stockholder was liable for the
whole debts of the company, as the whole
property of every member cf general
partnership is still liable for the debts of
| the firm.
But this system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management of which
he might not be guilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming interested in
| the shares of corporations. To remove this
objection the principle of limited liabili-
ties was introduced, and in order to notify
the public that only the separate property
of the corporation was liable for the debts
of the corporation the English law requires
that the word limited" shall be used in
every case by the company.
| Most American corporations are con-
| stituted on the principle Of limited liza
Dlilty put iSN, Ii any VI tuC CNdleS SIJOlH
companies to append the word limited to
their corporate titles. The matter is so
well understood in this country, indeed,
| that it is not necessary.
| The most noteworthy exception to the
general rule is the case of the national
banks, and even in this instance liability
is limited to an amount equal to the par
value of the shares. That is, if the ma
tional bank fails, each stockholder may
not only lose what he has invested, but
Sl00 more for each share of stock he holds,
If SO much is necessary to pay the debts of
the bank.
Until within few years all the Scottish
banks were organized with unlimited liza
bility, and when, eight or ten years ago,
a Glasgow bank failed, diastrously, there
were cases of men who only owned share
or two, valued before the failure at not
much more than hundred dollars each,
who were assessed thousands OF pounds
sterling, to meet the debts of the bank
Since that time the Scottish banks have
been allowed to re-organize on a basis of
limited liability Youths Companion.

Religion of the Roan,anians.

The religion of the Roumanians is
mass of sUperstitions, which under the
name of Christianity denoRlinates their
entire existence. Indeed one author has
said: "The whole life of Wallach is
taken up in devising talismans against the
devil" A Roumanian uneevers his head
on passing wayside cross, but he makes
an equally deep saiutation to the rising
sun he goes to church on Sunday, butit
is doubtful whether he does not regard
Friday, which is dedicated to Venus, as
the holier day of the two. The orthodox
Roumanian regards anyone who buries a
corpse without placing coin in e-hand
as a pagan. The Roamanian churches, in
contrast with the cold, bare-looking
churches of the Saxczs, present q most at
traGtive appearance, for they are covered
with artistic decorations, and are mass Of
soft, warm eoloFing.

The Siberian nra4nmoth.

1t must not, however, be supposed that
our own elephant is in any way degerer-
ate descendant of the true mammoth. On
the contrary says writer in the CornhIl,
the great Siberian beast was. in many re-
spects more advanced and specialized
representative of the original family than
his Southern Cousins. He was, in short, a
progressive elephant, who, seized with a
desire to emigrate, had gone north and
overspread the whole temperate regions of
Europe, Asia and North America before
the coming on of the great ice age. In
his northern home he retained or rede-
yeloped the hairy covering which the
elephants lost in India or Africa, and he
took kindly enough to the cold weather
epoch. In short, he was rather an elder
brother of the elephant than in any sense
direct ancestor.
Other mammoths have since been found
in the Siberian tundra, buried where they
sank in up to their nscks among the soft
slash, and preserved every since, partly
like timed meats by the exclusion of the
air and partly like Australian mutton by
the effects of frost. The most interesting
find was that made by young Russian
engineer Of the name of Benkerdorf who,
steaming in a small cutter up the Indigirka
river (not to know the Indigirka naturally
argues yourself unknown), saw, during
flood, to his immense delight, a real dead
mammoth, with its eyes open, and its hairy
trunk moving restIessly through the turbid
water, bobbing up and down merrily in
the stream before him. There is a we'll
known Swiss story of the wrinkled old
woman in Il mountain village who recog-
nizes, in the fresh corpse of young man
just brought down among the ice of
glacier to the point where it melts into an
alpine torrent the features of her lover,
lost half century before in the yawning
mouth of deep crevasse. But what is
half a century of iced humanity to hun
dred thousand years Of preserved man.

The Man who Laughs.

There is one man whose presence in a
theater during comedy is worth money
to the management. He is the greatest
laugher / ever saw. Like all good laugh
ers he is fat, and it fills man with merry
moments to be around when he is laugh
ing. He has a hearty rolling laugh that
catches an audience quickly, and soon the
audience and he are engaged in laughing
match. When the laughing has been go
ing on for four or five minutes, and every
body's sides are sore and all hands take a
rest, there is lull through the house
which is Immediately broken by low
passionate sob and a gently modulated
"O-ah p' from the laugher who is putting
the finishing touches on his cachinatory
effort Immediately the audience forget
the soreness of their sides and burst into a
roar Friends of his bring the laugher to
the theater just to have fun with him. He
comes with different crowd every time,
and his friends get their enjoyment out of
him and not out of the performance. He's
the jolliest laugher l ever heard.-Giobe-

The heavy ironclads of Italy now form

Duillo and the Dandolo, of over II 600
tons displacement, each carrying four 100
ton guns, making fifteen knots speed; the
Andrea Doria, the Ruggiero de LAURA aud

Petroleum WelIs in Hurmah.

The petroleum field of Yenangyoong
extends over an area of sixteen square
miles, the physical conformation of which
reproduceS almost exactly that of the oil
producing district in Baku in the Russian
Caucasus. Bare crumbling ridges alter
mating with deep, dry guliieS, half choked
with sand, while every here and there you
come upon black, narrow and seemingly
unfathonable chaSm in the parched earth,
all around the mouth of which the dusty,
yellowish-gray surface is spotted with
pools of thick, dark, glutinous liquid, as If
some boy giant had been set to fill num-
Der Of colossal jars Of molasses, and had
done it SO awkwardly as to spill the
precious fluid all over the place.
The petroleum wells of Yenangyoong
are about 300 in number, and vary in
depth from 200 to 320 feet They have
been worked for a considerable period
but hitherto without much success, partly
on account of the unsklllful and costly
system adopted by the natives and partly
on account of the ingrained rapacity OF
the Burmese Government, which, up to
the very latest moment of its existence,
never failed to lay its greedy claws upon
every native industry which showed the
slightest token of yielding any profit
whatever, thereby verifying to the letter
a famous passage in the ancient Brahmin
hymn to the fve-headed deity of night
The priest is one of thy mouths, and
with that mouth thou deyourest the peo-
ple the King is one of thy mouths, and
with that mouth thou devourest every
body"
The oil yielded by the Yenangyoong
wells is somewhat lighter than the ordi-
nary color, and unusually thin when first
taken out, although after having been ex-
posed to the air for some time (more espe-
cially il cold weather) it shows tendency
to become thick and glutinous. AS re.
CARDS its quality, the resident experts are
not altogether of one mind, but all alike
agree in pronouncing it far inferior to the
American article, and not likely to COM
pare favorably even with the best quality
of petroleum yielded by the Russian oil
wells at Baku.-N Y. Times.

peaches, their best specimens are grown
under glass, but it must be admitted that
no grapes in the world equal for size and
beauty the English hot-house grapes.
English hot-house peaches are pretty to
the eye. but they lack the juiciness and
rich flavor of the American peach and their
cost is very great. The nights in England
and France are too rainy for the Favorable
production of fine fruits in the open air.
Retail dealers over there, instead of selling
vegetables and fruit in our rough-and-
tumble way, by measure, which by its very
uncertainty is unsatisfactory both to seller

and large William " pears by the dozen.

Chloroform in killing Poultry.

f. Baden Benger, the President of the
British Pharmaceutical Conference, adopts
and recommends the following plan for the
happy dispatch" of poultry. A large
wide-mouthed stoppered bottle is kept
charged with an ounce of chIoroform.
When chicken has received sentence of
death, it is held firmly under the left arm
and its head slipped into the mouth of the
bottle. A few deep inspirations follow,
and the bird without struggle becomes
unconscious. Then, holding it by the legs,
its neck is dislocated by a quick stretch.
The plan is so simple that it might be
generally adopted d--Scieatife american.

How Women smuggIe.

An old Custom-House officer asserts, SAYS
a New York letter, that the most expert
smugglers are women and that the busi-
ness is carried on by them much more than
by the men. He relates the particulars of
a single Casa young woman of exceed
ing plumpness who wore the same dress all
the way over, a tailor-made suit that fitted
her little too well. "At quarantine"
said the official, "a boat pulled out from
Fort Hamilton and wanted to take my
charmer off. / touched her on the shoul-
der. You can't leave this vessel said 1,
until we reach the Battery who are
you? she demanded, turning pale. Pm a
Custom-House officer said |, and as soon
as we land shall have you searched She
hadn't the heart to say much Still pale,
she sat down, biting her lips and looking
around to see that nobody had heard US.
Officer she said at length, how much
will make it squareY 'Well,' said |, with
a sly glance at her shapely figure, Il don't
know how much it took to make it round,
but guess there is about $4,000 worth of
lace and jewelry in the lining of that dress
of yours And so it was. When the
women searchers had undressed her she
looked like scare-crow-old, haggard, a
regular skeleton. The haul Just doubled
my estimate"

happiness of nations. BY this game alone
a company may be driven to bed an hour
earlier than usual, and the comfort of the

possible figure. Directions for playing the
new intellectual game of poets and paint
ers Each person being provided with a
sheet of paper and pencil, which the
owner will never see again, the dealer
makes a nonsense rhyme. An example is
here given for the instruction of country
gentlemen. Example:
There was an old man Of Toronto,
And people cried Where has he gone to?
Here's his table and chair,
But where is he, where
This invisible man of roronto?''
When the dealer has composed gem of
this kind he does not show it, but illus
trates it by drawing. This he circulates
among the company, and each of them has
| to make nonsense verse on the incident
illustrated by the sketch. The worse you
draw the better. The dealer then repeats
the true original rhyme, and the Others
are read aloud by the person in the COM
