Tie Outlook FIateering.

As the time t0i paying the levee tax has arrived dASige to say to all inter- 7. es,ed n the building and mak- ing of lfg eos fot the protection of our land ti.at the outlook is very 1attering. The gO' era0euti is already at work ex, pending tAe s564,c00 co appropriated for the St Francis levee district. And the people os Missouri have gone to work I g1ed eaInest having already under contract tiirtyone miles A of levee iH thatsState. the government . funds arg be.Dg expended in Arkansas filling sp tAe most damaged points
 II IS to l- hoped that all parties will pay their lax as early as possible as we have had lie engineering corps at work 1ni tnr last two months and the work o5 locating is complete as far down as Memphis and we aare now ready as soon as the tax is collect eG to let ont more contracts.
 II IS t,e desire of the officers of the St. Francis levee board to complete the -jevee by the first of January next to somemething like fifteen mikes below Osceola besides putting in some five or six miles in Drlttenden county.
 If we succeed in carrying out what s We have undertaken we feel confident that all the upper portion of the St. Francis basin will be tdroughly pro- tected and he entire basin greatly re- lieved from the effect of the overflow. But it must be understood that this great work cannot be done without smnney, hence theimportance Ot paying the levee tag as early as possible.

"The Pnlse of New Y ork, ,"san elab- crate scenic production will be at the Opera House Tues lay, October 3l. The interest of the piece centres around its scenic surprises and many excel lent mechanioale effects. A good plot is interwoven which makes the thread of the story interesting. Of the scenic attractions the steam pile driver in operation, given in the lirst.act. is one of the most striking-a real pile being driven. The elevated railroad is an- other clever achievement in this line There s also thei little Church Around the Corner, Brooklin Bridge and Pier 6 East River being especially realistic. The company headed by Carrie Swee- ney is strong one. She is a popular favo'ite and will introduce her Ger nan speciaNy with the celebrated wooden shoe clog, as we'll as sing ru- merous popular songs. Miss sweeney is truly Americas brightest soubrette. aud great layorite If tbe ladies aud children.

AMUsEMENTs.

Albaughs hs.-Two-thirds Of the plays pro-
duced in the United States are either trans
lated or adapted from the French, but those
who saw the Coquelin -Hading Company last
night in Sardou's comedy Nos Intimes"
had set before them in a graphic, forceful
way the difference between the American
and the French method of playing French
comedy. Englsh-speaking actors. rendering
translated plays, lose the distinct Gallo
flavor of the original parts and give pictures
of English or American men and women
thinly disguised as French people. Last
night the house pulsated with the vivacity
and the atmosphere Of France. The spec
tators were from the first carried to one of
the charming villages near Paris. and set
down in one of those French country
houses that the prosperous bourgeoise loves
so well. Washington and the every day
life of America faded away. the potent
charm of French life was there The audi
ence felt 1t and yielded to 1t. The charac-
ters were photographs in their fidelity to
original types and instinct with the mo-
ton, grace and vivacity Of the French peo-
pie Nine Hading as Cecile. the young
wife, was superb in the scenes with her
lover Maurice. NJ. Maury, and her struggle
against him, his impassioned declarations.
and the voice of her own affection, indicat-
ed power that was tragic in its possibili-
ties. Coquelin as the crochety old Partisan,
hating country life and all it's attributes,
meddling with the affairs of his friend at
every turn and playing the mischief gener-
ally was a source of unalloyed delight. His
humor was natural and infectious. The
very fashionable and appreciative audience
applauded his effort and those Of the we'll
balanced company heartily and frequently.
1t was a memorable night for Washington
theater goers. The play was by the great
est living dramatist and the people who in
terpreted it are not surpassed among the
comedians of the world. Tonight there will
be a double bill, "Tartuffe and Les Pre-
cieuse Ridicules," and tomorrow night a
French adaptation of Shakespeares Tam
ing of the Shrew.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-12-14

The wish to conceal her age Is so
popularity supposed to be second nature
to every woman that it has come to be
accepted almost as one of her preroga
tives. Even on the witness stand legal
inquiry and Judgment are very lenient
on this point here in America. Over
In Australia, however, it seems, 1t Is a
serious offense, and recently mar
riage was declared void because the
husband proved that his wife had de-
ceived him as to her age, claiming to
be fifteen years younger than she really
was. In this connection the celebra-
tion the other day of the ninety-ninth
birthday of a still vigorous woman is
worth mentioning as bringing together
a company of the sex who strove each
TO be older, not younger, than the
other, those who had touched the
ninety mark announcing the fact with
pride that quite silenced the i'm
mature matrons of seventy-eight and
| eighty-fiye.

with the prime cut For example, in
the best markets in New Englant rib
of sirloin is cut short, only a little
part of the thin ribs, or the flank, be.
ing left on. Outside New England
these pieces are cut long. As a rule,
the shorter cuts at the higher price
are the more economical. In most
parts of New England, the sirloin
steak is what is called porter-house in
other parts of the country. The
sirloin steak Of New York is in the
section marked d (see plate No. ~
Some of these steaks are fine, but
often there is only a small part OF
tender meat on them, the butcher cut
ting them so as to take in the veiny
part of the round. If one be paying
the price Of round steak there is no
great injustice in this, but to pay for a
high-priced steak and get such a cut as
this is not right.
The quality of beef is indicated by
color, texture and odor Good beef
will have generous amount of meat
in proportion to the bones. The lean
meat will be firm, fne-grained, and of
a rich, red color, The fat, pale straw
color, firm and dry; the suet will be
dry and crumble easily.
If the beef has been hung LONG
enough it will be dark, purplish
color when first cut, but after few
minutes exposure to the air it will
turn bright red and tiny beads o
moisture will collect on the surface
Beef that is coarse-grained and darl
generally comes from old animals
Very small beef, with n pink rathei
than a red color, is apt to be fror
cows. Although this beef is neve
rich in color and flavor, it is usually
tender and sweet-tlavored. Beef tha
has dark, yellow fat, with the sue
tough and clammy, is not from ,
healthy animal. Pass it by, and choos
something else for your dinner.-Goo,
