HOW Meat should Be Killed.

Much of the poor meat found in small
towns and villages is to be traced to the
fact that the vender begins to sell the
meat soon after it is killed. The hard
ening of the muscular fibers before men
toned. which takes place as the vital
heat is lost, is a fact well known to
hunters; they often eat their game
within a few hours of securing it, be-
fore it can become tough; much of the
excellence of game depends upon this
fact. Some of the famous old colored
cooks of the South cooked chickens d.
rectly they were killed, upon the same
principle.
The best method of killing meat of all
kinds is that employed by orthodox
Hebrews. Our limit of space will not
permit the full details of this method,
but the chief points may be briefly
specified. An experienced officer, duly
examined and commissioned by the local
synagogue, first examines the live stock
to make sure that it is in an apparently
healthy state. Each animal is then
quickly killed by cutting the arteries OF
the throat, thus rapidly draining the
blood from the brain and producing in
sensibility. The animal dies without
suffering; and consequently the flesh is
not in feverish condition, and is better
suited for food than when life ends with
a struggle
Howe, er true was the old idea of the
foresters that game was the more tender
for the long chase, the flesh was certainly
not as wholesome as that from animals
killed without torture To return to the
Hebrew method: After the animal is
dead the officer in charge examines the
viseera, particularly the lungs, liver and
heart; if those organs are healthy, and
if the deposit of fat is abundant and the
flesh in good condition, official seals are
attached to it, and the secondary opera
tion is begun of preparing it for the use
of the orthodox. This consists of free
ing the flesh from the blood, the use of
which is forbidden All the kidney fat
is preserved to use instead of lard and
salt butter, and the meat is cut up for
public sale.-Hou5eVJe.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Economr in Dressmaking.

A New York dressmaker in talking
about her profession, said: ''If what
say were all carefully followed husbands
would not have 30 pay such heavy dress
makers bills. When dress waists are
past wearing they should be ripped to
pieces. the lining washed and ironed
and all rolled up together and put away
until they are wanted at some future
time. They may be used in a variety of
ways. They may be sewn together
again and worn under jersey, or they
can be cut down for the children to
wear, and then they will always furnish
odd pieces for general repairing. 1t is
always well to look over condemned
garments and cut out all pieces in good
condition. They will serve some day
for mending. Always cut off buttons
and buckles and put them in box az
signed for these articles. Some day they
viii furnish you with those little things
that many have to go out and pay ten

Sylvester's process for excluding
moisture from external walls consists in
using two washes or solutions for cover
ing the surface of brick walls, one COM
posed of soap and water and one of alum
and water. The proportions are three
quarters OF pound of soap to one gallon
of water and half a pound of alum to
four gallons of water. Both substances
must be perfectly dissolved in water be-
fore using. The walls should be per-
fectly clean and dry and the temperature
Of the air should not be below fifty de-
grees Fahrenheit when the compositions
are applied. The first, or soap water,
should be laid on when at boiling heat
with fat brush, taking care not to form
froth on the brick work. This wash
should remain twenty-four hours, so as
to become dry and hard before the
second, or alum wash, is applied, which
should be done in the same manner as
the first
The temperature of this wash when
applied may be sixty or seventy degrees,
and it should also remain twenty-four
hours before a second coat of the soap
wash is put on, and these coats are to be
repeated alternately until the walls are
made imperyious to water. The alum
and soap thus combined form an in
soluble compound, filing the pores of
the masonry, and entirely preventing the
water from penetrating the walls. Four

Three forlorn Queens recently made an
asylum of beautiful Paris. There was
the bright, black-eyed Natalie, Tuning
with hatred of her graceless spouse, the
faithless, brutal, cowardly Milan, of
Servia, and bemoaning her forcible
separation from her young son. There
was the fiery faced Isabella, fat and
self-indulgent, who has become moodily
accustomed TO the loss of her throne,
bull fights and her low-born lover, but
who yet is waiting for something to
turn up'' in her favor in Spain. And
there finally was the dispossessed aud

weary life with her feeble minded
husband, who shuts her up in a suit of
grEA apartments, and is content not to

Good Female Detectives Rare

The manager of one of the largest de

is one of the most difficult things IN the
world for woman to become good
detective. He says that they are gen
orally lacking in some one thing; that
one would be too Eighty, another too

be trusted; but that when one was
found who had all the qualities com
bined for the making of a good de-

together couldn't get ahead of her. One
woman at New York received for years
salary of $500 as a store detective.

will result in the reduction of the price

Tie importance of this discovery is
