Mr.. Strauss moved an amendment to
Mr.. Carne's motion to the effect that
the petition be referred to the finance
committee with instructions that they
confer with the finance committee of
the City Council as TO the disposition OF
the petition.
Mr.. Vincent was willing to vote for
recommendation to Council if that
was what they wanted.
Mr.. Carne maintained it would be
impossible to devote any portion Of the
amount appropriated by Council for
the support of the schools toward in
creasing the salary Of the Superinten-
dent There should be $4,000 appro-
priated annually for the schools and we
should have Superintendent at sal
airy of 1000 year. Council could give
any sum they pleased above the three
mills on the dollar.
The Superintendent thought as Mr..
Carne, $50, 1000 should be appropriated
and the Superintendent should receive
1000. He repeated that the board
was competent to act in the matter of
she increase.
Mr.. Marbury said he didn't think
Council would vote a cent above the
regular appropriation.
Mr.. Sweeney hoped Mr.. Vincent
would withdraw his motion and that
the board would adopt Mr.. Carne's
notion as amended by Mr.. Strauss
unanimously. He was convinced that
Mr.. Vincent's was not the proper mo-
ton. He was in favor of the increase,
but wanted law to go on.
Mr.. Vincent finally withdrew his mo-
ton and that made by Mr.. Carne with
Mr.. Strauss amendment prevailed.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
UTILIZE THE FAT.

Every portion of fat in the kitchen
should be precious to the cook. The
strong fats, like mutton, lamb and tur-
key fat, if fried out carefully and
strained into tin pail till five pounds
be obtained, will make with single
pound of potash from nine to ten gallons
of soft soap, which is superior for
cleaning around the kitchen and for
Washing dishes to any soap which is
purchased by the bar or cake. The
entire cost of this keg of soap
will be the trifing cost of the potash and
the trifing trouble of saving the fat and
making the soap. Almost any cook
will prefer this soap for her cleaning
when she once learns to use it. The
soapfat man is an individual whose
visits should always be discouraged, as
there is no fat used about family which
cannot be put to good purpose by the
Observation-Disclosures Cultivator.

BEWARE OF GLASS BUBBLES.

Since glass cans have come into such
general use for fruits less is heard about
ssdanger in the can,' writes Mrs.
J. NJ. Miligan. Still there may be dan
ger even in glass cans as appeared of
late when a little child was helped to
freshly opened canned plums. His teeth
were heard to CRATE on some hard SUBJ
stance, which proved to be fake Of
glass he had broken with his teeth into
bits. In minute more, if unchecked,
he would have innocently swallowed the
glass, which would have caused serious
injury and perhaps death. An inspec-
ton of the empty can discovered the
rough edges of broken air-bubble on
the inside. Air-bubbles are very COM
mon in the cheap grade of glass of which
fruit cans are usually made, and are less
noticeable on the inside than on the
outside. When the boiling fruit is
poured into the can these thin shells, if
on the inside, are almost sure to crack
off. A tablespoonful of small shot well
shaken about in the can will break
these dangerous bubbles and smooth
their edges; better still for this purpose
is light dish-cloth. Too much care
cannot be taken to wash out every
particle of broken glass from the can {;
their small size, transparency and
weight, which sends them to the bottom
or sides, make them difficult to select

dagger and dag you" and 1t MADE tne
biggest hit of the whole evening.
The ulster has held its own for many
years, and fancy it will forever. Of course
each year sees notifications, but any heavy
outer garment, coming to the heels and lit
ted to the figure is an ulster. Of late it has
had cape. This year it has several, and IS
all the more stylish. Take the rear view OF
girl with triple-caped ulster. The correct
triple cape, of course, has the longest well
to the waist, the next to the shoulders, and
the third mere collar. Each cape is edged
with fur, and there is high standing collar
edged with fur, too. And the sleeves-you
can't see them, but you know there is fur
about tine trim little wrists that are so nicely
gIoved with dog-skin. The square toed
shoes peep to and fro from under the long
edge of the ulster, and the chin is almost
buried in the nigh collar. After all, girl
never looks better than she does in real
stylish ulster. Now, it just suits this girls
style, her rosy. round face, her crisp bang
under her felt hat, and that shade OF mixed
blue and brown that is just the thing for
hazel eyes.

with raised dots all over it of contrasting
color. l saw one of gray ground with royal
purple spots To the cloak part is added
very full cape that is about shoulder length.
but so full that it stood straight out from
the collar to its edge at the shoulders The
cape was plain gray trimmed with silver
passementerie. and it had the eyer-present
little box-pleat in the back. No outline could
be queerer than that made by the back view
of this cloak, but it was stylish. I also saw
the same sort of cloak made in white with
yellow Spots and white cape trimmed with
gold passementerie It was lined with vel

THE FASHION HINT.

Canoes Are Coming Back and Afford
Opportunities For Individual Taste.
The woman shown in the picture, with
corkscrew twist in her pose {she is looking
back to see what the other woman has on),
has d short mantle with fur collar and
fur edge. 1t isa pretty garment, whose ad-
vantage is that it does not absorb the whole
costume and gives an opportunity for the
gown to produce its effect.
Canoes will come back if the little short
wasted street dresses do, and the quaint
little pokes that used to go with them.s
Many of us have cameo or SO tucked away.
Bring them out, in their old setting just as
they are. The big oval pin that grand
mamma used to wear. with the profile OF
her long departed husband cut on it, will do
very nicely. though it would be more pic
turesque if it were the features of the dell
cate little lady instead of those of her spouse
carved thereon. By the way do you know
that there are cameo cutters in every large
city? Most of them are very poor, and
will, for little more than price of the stone,
cut for you likeness of yourself or of any
one from picture profile, of course. 1t
is such pretty present to make just now
when canoes or sure to be quite the thing
presently.
A cloak of the season is one that hangs
straight and full from the shoulders and CIV
ing square outline. 1t certainly isn't grace
full or pretty. but it is very stylish. This
part of the cloak is made of che very latest
rage in cloth, the ground being of one color

MEAT SAUCES AND GRAVES.

The making of sauces and gravies,
writes Mrs. E. r. Parker in the Courier
Journal, is one of the most important
points in cooking, and in no other does
the cook display so much talent. To
have them in perfection all the ingredi-
ents should be perfectly blended, and
the seasoning harmonized 30 no one
flavor will predominant to the exclusion
of the others. Once week in winter
be made to use in the preparation of
sauces and gravies, for which purpose
all bones and scrapes of meat and vege-
tables may be saved and kept in a close
Jar until wanted. Care is necessary in
order to thicken sauces and gravies
properly; some cooks make them too
thick, while others have them thin and
watery. To prevent either faults the
-four and butter should be carefully
measured SO as to have the right pro-
portion, then mixed well together and
cooked before being added to the stock.
For seasoning sauces and gravies a
supply of sweet herbs and spices should
always uS Ou uduo, % WOti 40 UoseiO
of capers, bottle of olives and an
chovies each, with canned mushrooms
and truffies. Walnut, mushroom and
tomato catsups will be found very good
substitutes for more expensive season
ing.
White sauce is the foundation of most
light sauces. To make it put two ounces
of butter IN saucepan with two table
spoons of -four, and set over the FIRE,
stir until melted and let come to boil !;
then add pint of clear hot stock, put
ting in little at time and mixing all
the while. Set on the back of the stove
and let simmer one hour; thin with two
tablespoonsful of rich cream. By the
addition of various fourings numerous
different sauces may be made with white
sauce.
Ordinary brown sauce is the founda-
ton for another class Of richer sauces, as
the white is for the more delicate, and
can be varied by the use of suitable
Touring. To make it melt an ounce OF
butter and -four each together and stir
over the FIRE until brown; then add half
pint of rich, dark stock and boil until
thick and smooth. From this may be
made Chateaubrland, Robert, Poiveade,
Piquante and other sauces.
