What a Porterhouse Steak ls.

Very few people who SIT down to q
good breakfast of "porterhouse" steak

of a bullock this choice tidbit is cut
from. The .'porterhouse" is that por-
ton of the beef either side OF the spine
beginning where the ribs end and ex.
tending along to where the hip bone
begins. The tenderloin should form .
part of the porterhouse. This is mar.
row strip of succulent and tender flesh
extending along and protecting the in
ner sides of the spinal column. Its
high price is due to its choice quality.
and the fact that even iE the largest
bullocks there are not above ten to
twelve pounds Of tene erloins The
term ''porterhouse" II Of English
derivation, and it has no equivalent in
either the German or French language.
while tenderloin. on the other hand.
is known among tie Germans as '.lum-
mer' and '.fillet." by which latter name
it is also known among the French.
The term '.porterhouse" probably
originated from the eating-houses and
inns of England, also known as porter
and ale houses A customary order
was: Give me porter and steak, y
and in time the name ''porterhouse"
probably was applied to the choice
pieces of steak as distinguished from
the more ordinary kinds.-Notes and

sIsTERLY DEVOTION.
How Car0liDe HorschOl Assisted Her

How CaroliDe Hsrsehol Assisted Her
brother In His Great Work.
Caroline Herschd had one passion
devotion to her brother. Sir William
Herschel the astronomer. His wish
was her law. He began his career in
England as a musician. leading the
orchestra in the Pump Room at Bath.
He thought that his sister Caroline.
who was living at the family home in
Hanover, might assist him by singing
at his concerts. and accordingly re-
quested his brother Jacob to give her
lessons. Jacob ridiculed the plan. but
Caroline determined that Williams
wish should be obeyed.
Il took every opportunity" she
says, when all were from home to
initiate. with gag between my teeth.
! the solo parts of concertos, shake and
all, such as had heard them play on
the violin; in consequence l had
gained tolerable execution before l
knew how to sing"
Subsequently, when her brother be-
came an astronomer, she showed the
same decision, ingenuity and perse-
verance. She made q pasteboard
tube eighteen or twenty feet long, that
he might have q more perfect tele-
scope than the small and poor ones
then used. Tho brothers suite of
handsome apartments was turned into
a workshop. and Caroline became as
useful to him as boy to his master.
George Ill appointed William
Herschel Astronomer Royal, and he
removed to a house in Dachet, near
Windsor. where he had grass plat
on which the twenty-toot telescope
was erected. Caroline was supplied
with telescope for sweeping" the
heavens in search of comets. Every
starry night she had to spend on the
grass plat covered with dew or hoar-
frost, without human being near
enough to be within call
Her education was SO defective that
she was obliged to learn the mathe-
matical formula necessary to astro-
nomical calculations, when she was
about to use them. Even her memory
was so poor that she could not remem-
Der the multiplication table, and al
ways carried a copy of it in her
pocket; but her intense love for her
brother and her desire to assist him
enabled her to overcome these OBJ

done nothing. All I am, all know.

tool which he shaped to his own use.
A well-traiued puppy-dog would have

Such unselfsh devotion to a brother
is almost unparalleled. Caroline
Herschel had no ambition but to serve
him; no vanity except pride in his
achievements She was Jealous of his
! fame, and after his death underrated
the progress of astronomy, because
she thought any development therein
detracted from her brothers reputa-
tion. youths Companion. .

HOW TO COOK MEATS


Hoasts Cooked in Ovens Q Delusion and
Baked meat is an abomination. So
called 'roast" meat cooked in ovens Is
delusion and snare
Roast meat is roast meat. and in or
der to roast you must have an open
IRE, before which your joint is placed
in such a manner that the air circula:es
freely around it.
Ihe reason why it is Objectionable
to cook meat by baking it in an oven
unless it be a big bakers oven-is that
II is difficult, if not impossible, to keep
an ordinary oven in a cooking-stove
clean and well ventilated. The sides.
roof and floor of the oven get bespat-
tered with particles of fat and spots Of
gravy during the baking process, and
these particles become charred. and
thus fill the oven with ammonia and
with foul atmosphere of empyreu-
matte oils. by which terrible word the
chemists indicate the unwholesome
vapors generated through the action
of fire.
In the process OF roasting before an
open fire. these empyreumatic odors
are indeed generated. whereas they are
imprisoned in the oven. and there
penetrate the meat, destroy its flavor.
and render it more or less insipid.
Meat. however. may be baked In
pies. because in this case its surface,
being protected by the crust. can not
be charred and impregnated with the
foul empyreumatic oils. Meat baked
in pie-crust amounts in reality to .
stewing operation. the paste forming.
as it were. a stewpan with its lid.
Frequent basting IL essential to sue
cessful roasting. Otherwise. the CO.
agulated surface of the meat would
crovass during the operation and al.
low an escape Of the juice. The melt
ed fat poured over the meat penetrates
into every crack. and by means Of the
higher temperature of the fat. the sur
face of the meat is maintained in an
impervious state. Louisville Courier

PEARLS IN SAxONY.
Something About the Banks Found Ale

Something About the Banks Found Along
the River Elster.
The town of Oelsnitz, on the Elster.
has been for many centuries the CEN
ter of pearl fishing in Saxony. In no
other parts of Saxony nor in all Ger
many were the banks so rich as here.
In early days every one had a right
to gather muscles; in 1921 the sover-
eign assumed possession of the pearl
fisheries Prince Electoral Johann
George appointed in that year Moritz
Schmirler as electoral pearl fisher at
a salary of 80 forms (S12) a year. An
ordinance OF l7O1 administered severe
punishments for pearl thieving.
The Schmirler family were always
connected with pearl fishing. M6ritz's
parents are known to have occupied
themselves with it. Their celebrity for
skill and knowledge in this branch
was 50 gre at that in 1740 one of them
was summoned to Denmark in order
to investigate pearl fisheries in that
country.
Not long ago three Oelsnitz citizens.
descendants Of Moritz Schmirler, were
salaried as sworn royal pearl fishers.
Salary. 140 thalers ($l05), with wood
and produce. yearly. Therefor they
had to deliver to the Government all
the pearls found. The Schmirlers
fill the same position to the pr ssent
day.
When pearls were higher in price the
largest Elster pearls were valued at 180
marks (e45) each. At present the
pearl production from the Elster is
not so great in importance. Numerous
factories on the Elster shores seem to
have adamaging influence. their waste

FAMILY GOVERNMENT.
Powerful Argument for Equal Rights
in the Home.

n HO"cKluA luz LQu1A hi8nto
in the Home.
From a book entitled The Fam
ily," prepared by the joint author
ship of Rev. Charles F. and Mrs.
Thwing. we take the following: The
common objection urged against the
equal authority of the man and
woman in the marriage relation is
based upon the belief that in the
family there must be one supreme
and ultimate authority. A double
headship is monstrosity. One only
can decide, and that one is more fit
tingly the man. To this it may well
be answered that, however true it is
that the final decision of a mOOted
question can rest only on one. it by no
means follows that the same one
should decide all questions. The CEN
trail idea of a true wedlock is the
idea Of mutual self-surrender. Rights,
duties and privileges are reciprocal.
Neither the husband nor wife should
demand more than the other can give,
nor consent constantly to give without
receiving in return.
Two classes of questions arise in a
family-those that are personal to
either the husband or the wife, and
those that effect both equally. In af-
fairs which are common to both, ex-
perience must decide to whom the de-
cision may be more safely committed.
Doubtless. in affairs regarding the re-
lation of the family to the outside
world, the peculiar training of the
man fits him to be the safer guide.
But in domestic concerns, such as the
selection and furnishing of the house,
the oversight of servants. the train.
ing of the children, the house mother
is the natural leader
Children naturally belong to both
parents. and both parents should have
by law an equal right to them
and their earnings. No more un-
righteous law disgraces the statute
book than that which gives to the
father the sole ownership of children.
sole control of their earnings and sole
inheritance in their property. In
many of the United States. until with
in a few years, father might by will
dispose of the person OF even an un-
born child. This law has been
changed in several States; but the
power Of binding out child. be it son
or daughter, still rests with the father
alone.
In matters private and personal,
each must at the outset of married life
recognize the complete freedom of the
other. The only right to be main
tanned is the right of the one to yield
a personal desire for the sake of the
happiness of the other. Neither
should expect to dictate as to what
friends the other may visit, what hab-
its he may indulge. what private ex-
penses he may incur.
This, it need hardly be said, is not
according to the present law. The
husband. as the head of the household.
has the right to dictate the policy of
the family. The wife is expected to
conform to his habits. tastes, even to
his eccentricities. provided her health
be not seriously endangered by so do
ing. The husband may even restrict
his wife's calling list, or forbid her
from visiting her relations The
courts also sustain him in preventing
her from attending the church OF
which she is member.
