tgating huts and novels and tenements.

KITCHEN FACTS.
a Few Words to the Housekeeper Who
Is Economical.

The inexperienced housekeeper is ex.
cusable in some measure, at least, IL, while
she Is learning to run the kitchen, she
serves on the table such dishes as are
"easy TO do"
Moreover tho easiest is not the best,
even though il be the costliest. Steaks,
chops, bacon and eggs, choice roasts and
the like, all OF them excellent in their
way, and all properly to be found on any
table, are unreasonably expensive.
Philip Armour, the great meat packer,
has indorsed this statement, saying that
IL the American people would learn to eat
more soups, stews and boiled meats, and
would appreciate the fact that the
"plates,"" chucks," and "shoulders" are
quite as nutritious, and much more eco
pomical than the favorite cuts, it would
improve the general health and be the
source OF great savings.
AS an experiment in this line, it will be
well for the housekeeper, the next time
she is intending to have lamb chops for
breakfast, to change her order, and buy
the same number of pounds OF the breast
OF lamb. This is the cheapest cut in the
animal, but is equally nutritious and
equally toothsome with the choicest
chops. First let her notice that there is
actually less bone and more meat TO the
pound than in loin chops, and then let
her cook it properly and discover that it
Is equally dainty.
Select piece that is not too fat and
trim off the skin (Which is wasted). Cut
the meat into small pieces-say an inch or
two inches square--dredge them with
-four and put them into saucepan, with
enough butter TO keep pthem from burning.
Season TO taste and stir frequently while
cooking, until they are Drowned. Add
sufficient water or beef stock, il there is
any on hand, TO cover the pieces, and
simmer till the meat is tender, skimming
of the fat carefully. The gravy may be
thickened a little after the meat is re-
moved, or II may be served as it is accord
ing to taste. Serve with peas, beans,
asparagus tops or well-fried potatoes,
cooked separately.
This win make breakfast that will be
relished by those who are tired OF meat
because they are only familiar with it
either in the shape of chops and steaks on
the breakfast table, and the saving will be
considerable.

Wilkes for the Decorator and Furnisher.
A description of it is unnecessary us the
illustration explains itself
This publication recommends TO drape
the mantel in some way, unless it is a
handsome one, and above 1t place a small
picture at one side, not in the center.
Above this drape some harmonious ma
terial, and on the other side arrange some
pretty fans, or anything else that taste
may suggest. Avoid anything like stiff
arrangement with decided center point,
and DO not put a pair of anything on the
mantel shelf. If there are two vases, let
one be tall and slender and the other short
and stout, and place them with other
bric-a- brac on either side of them.

A BEAR IN HER KITCHEN,
Mrs. Sharp at Once Made Good Use Of
Hot Water and N Gun.

Hot Water and Gun.
Mrs. Ora j. Sharp, the wife of young
woodsman OF Dutch Mountain, Pa, was
making pumpkin pies in her cellar
kitchen one day recently, while her hus-
band was working in the lumber woods.
When the pies were ready for the oven
Mrs. Sharp placed them in row on the
mixing shelf and ran up stairs to attend
to the baby. She stayed longer than
she expected to, and, hearing noise
in the kitchen, she hurried down to
see what made it. She found a
large black bear sitting upon his
launches in front OF the shelf as though
he had been in the habit of dining there
every day. He was gobbling down her
unbaked pies with all his might, and Mrs.
Sharp grabbed kettle OF boiling water
from the stove and threw it at him just as
he was scooping out the last pie tin with his
right paw. A good part of the scalding
water struck the bear square on the top OF
his shoulders. 1t ran down the whole
length of his back, and IL made him below
and scratch around as though his hide had
been peppered with shot. In his haste to
get out OF the kitchen the bear dashed
agaist the cellar door that opened inward
on stiff spring. lie landed in the cellar.
him in. Then the bear began to roar and
tear things, and Mrs. Sharp bolted the
door.
The destruction of her pies greatly an
gerod Mrs. Sharp, and she resolved not to
let the bear leave the cellar alive. Her
husband wouldn't return from the woods
in several hours the nearest house was
more than mile away, and, as she feared
that the bear might break out before her
husband came home, she concluded 10 see
II she couldn't shoot the bear right away,
and put him out OF his misery. MIR.

che tried -
Mrs. Shnrp was afraid that something
might happen TO the baby IL she left 1t in
the house, so she bundled IL up, tucked il
into a clothes basket, carried IL TO the
barn, and placed IL in the hay NOW. Then
she got out the rife. cooked both barrels,
and stood il against the back end of the
house. In the rear end OF the cellar there
was a narrow window under the sill. The
house has been banked with straw, and
Mrs. Sharp quickly removed the straw
and pulled the window out. The bear
waa still thrashing and groaning, and tho
moment he saw the light he climbed
up and stuck his snout out of the window.
While the bear was hanging on the stones
with his claws Mrs. Sharp fired n bullet
into his head, and he tumblcd backward
and made no more noise.
AS soon as Mrs. Sharp felt certain that
she had killed the bear she hGstened after
the baby. The little one was all right,
and she carrird IL TO the house and got
ready TO make another batch of pies. Mr..
! Sharp came home at nightfall, and his
wife told him about the dead bear IN the
cellar. They dragged the carcass out into
| the snow, and then they found that all

back and that Mrs. sharps bullet had hit
him between the eyes.
