Household Economy.


 Ask an American woman what becomes of the water in which the table vegetables were boiled and she will tell you it is poured down the sink. In a French kitchen every drop of it is relgiously preserved to add quantity, richness and flavor to soups and gravies. When the dishes are cleared from the table there may be 8 hopeless looking beefsteak bone on a background of cold melted butter, and broken slice of bread may lie upon the bread plate. As a mere matter of instinct thoroughly trained French servant wipes the butter dish with the bread and drops both it and the bone into the stock kettle, which is the life and soul of all cooking, the foundation of soups, sauces, purees and rechauffes, and many oth- CT of the excellent food preparations with which French housekeepers supplement solid joints of meat.
 Travellers are inclined to decry French cookery because their opportunities for test ing it are mainly confined to hotels and resa tsurants, where artifce takes the place of art and ths cooks in catering to the varied tastes of their patronage entirely lose their national individuality. But those who have had the privilege of being entertained in well-to-do families know that French cooking is delicious and eminently nourishing, because the cooks by their anti-wasteful habits pre- serve those very nutritious portions of food which we carelessly or scornfully throw away. One or two simple rules form the ba- sis of F'renchwoman's practice One is that every eatable part of food is to be eaten, another that every dish should please the eye, the palate and the sense of smell. The intelligence that conducts household on this principle is worth more than money, and the faculty of making the most of every thing in providing for the table makes a small income cover more ground than 8 large one, and cover it too in 8 more satisfactory manner

REFORM HIN ELECTION METHODS.
 It has been discovered that there is bet ter and cheaper way of voting than that now in use in this country, and in several States the matter is receiving some of the attention which it ought to have received long ago. Massachusetts is one of these States. The common council of Boston voted at recent meeting, practically without op- position, to apply to the legislature for laws requiring the adoption throughout the State of the so-oalled Australian method of voting The petition that was adopted asks for the following requirements to be embodied in 6 law: ''That ballots shall be printed at public expense and be delivered by 8 public officer to the voter only when he approaches the polls, the voting to be conducted in such 8 manner that there can be no canvassing or solicitation of the voter between the time he receives the ballot and the time he records how he votes be secured as to make bribery unproftable or intimidation impossible" A similar measure, which came before the Michigan legislature last year, was passed by one branch, but failed of becoming law, and there is to be a bill presented in the as- sembly of New York shortly that embodies the features of the proposed reform.
 There is no doubt of the need of such a re- form as that aimed at in this movement, and there is also no doubt that real reform could be made, for there is ample evidence that there is better election method than ours Of course no law could prevent some politi- clans from becoming dishonest and some voters from encouraging their dishonesty. But it is clear that such law as that asked for by the Boston common council would do great deal of good. The enormous political expenses incurred for the printing of many more ballots than the whole citizenship could use demanded by the present wasteful system would be stopped. Assessments" and the virtual sale of nominations by political par ties, which have been the means of raising the necessary party funds, would cease. The employment of great number of "workers" at the polls is another source of amending corruption, and this too woald come to an end if the ''work" to be done were done in legitimate manner by the State.
 Success to all effsrts to make voting secret, honest and cheap. As the matter stands now election day is a very diseouraging day to many besides the defeated candidates.

ready been received, chiefly in small contri buttons of twenty-five cents each. It is now suggested that instead of such modest mon ument, the greatest monolithie obelisk in the world should be erected as the memorial Of the brave policemen. The stone fit for such an obelisk was quarried near Rockland, Maine, last summer. It is large enough for an obelisk 115 feet high, which would weigh about six hundred and fifty tons. The larg- est now standing in the werld is shat at Rome, which is 105 feet high and weighs five hundred tons The one in Central Park, New York, is 69 1-2 feet high. and weighs 224 tons. It is estimated that the cost of the proposed obelisk, including transportation by way of the St. Lawrence and the lakes, would be about one hundred thousand dol lars.
 The citizens law and order league of Mas sachusetts will make an active campaign this winter in behalf of temperance legisls ton. Among the measures to be proposed is one reducing the permissible amount of alcohol in malt beverages, where licenses are not granted, to one per cent; one regulating the matter of sureties on liquor sellers bonds; one allowing civil damage cases to be brought against liquor sellers and their bondsmen jointly and severally; one permit ting the wards of cities which vote @no" while the city as whole votes "yes" on the license question to refuse licenses of the first five classes within their boundaries; one giv- ing the licensing boards the power to revoke the licenses of men who sell liquor on election days; one forbidding the employment of men or minors on premises where the principal business is the sale of intoxicating liquors; one further defining the restrictions with re- gard to sales to minors and making it crim- inal offenss to permit minors to loiter on premises where intoxicating liquors are sold

CHICAGO, December ll.-Three men

fatally iDj artd apd Lumber Of people
badly bruised and shsken up early this
morning, by an explosion Of meal dust,
which completely wrecked the three
story brick building on NCrlh Halstcad
street, occupied dy David Oliver as an oat
meal mill. Several adjoining bulldogs
were also badly shattered. The explosion
which occurred shortly after tHo o'clock,
was q terrific one, the shock being felt a
mile away. The buildings in the imme-
diate vicinity were bombarded with flying
bricks and timbsrs, and nearly every
pane Of window glass within radius Of ak
blocks was smashed.
Almost before the rumble of the explo-
sion died away il.mes sprarg mp from the
wrecked mill, and the whole place WAS
ablaze in few minutes. The fire spread
with incredible rapdity and when the
first fire companies reached the scene they
found block Of rearing flames to contend
with. A general alerm was at once turned
in. Engines were stationed at every avail :.
able point around the blazing patch, and
buildings that did not take fire ut tho
oubet were saved. Hundreds Of men
searched Snxiously for the missing millers
and after some time Que Of them, Jonn
ITs!mes, was found lying in an alley across
the street from the mill, terribly burned
and lacersted. He was working In the
second s;ory OF the mill when the explosion

nircipsl campaigns ever carried on in this

lied all sides, especially has this been the
case in the ditcussion of the public school
question, the principal i.sue of the cam
psign.
This issue was brought before the pao'
pie last Summer by tbs School Boaru in
the removal from public schools Of csr-
tain text book, which contained state
ments distateful to the Catholic clergy.
The School Board consists OF 2l members,

Catholic faith. and it being held by the
Republican invention that this is sufti-
cient representation of the sect

presented by the Republicans to-day
contained the names of no Catholics
whsteveI. The Republican ticket was
endorsed by a citzens' committee of 100.
TIE Democrats, Oh the contrary, noni-
mated the three retiring Catholic members.
Twenty Thousand twO hundred and Six

tion. So much scratching was done that
the result can not be kEOwn tonight.
