A Highly Nutritious and Economical Food
Product.
The housekeeper who neglects to have
"stock' on hand all or nearly all the
time is impoverishing her table more
than she will realize until she has tried
the experiment and has, moreover, tried
the many various uses to which it may
be put. The name is little difficult to
understand in this connection, except
ing by remembering that it seems to be
applied to all sorts of things for which
it is difficult to find better name, but
the thing itself is simple and yet scien-
tific, highly nutritious, delicious and
valuable
Beef is the staple. With the beef you
may combine veal or the bones of roast
fowls, if any are on hand. Pork or NUT
ton must not be used. The best cut of
beef to use is the sticking piece, which
is also about the cheapest. This holds
more of the juices of the meat than any
other, as it is part of the neck, and
the carcass is hung head downward to
drain. A few raw beef bones make a
good addition, because of the fibrin
they yield.
Place the meat and bones in a stone
pot or one of agate ware. An iron pot
will not do Cover we'll with plain wa
| ter, or, if You have it, water that a
| fowl has been boiled in. Put nothing
else in Sailing it at first will tougher
the meat and weaken the stock. Do not
under any circumstances boil the water.
Let the meat simmer for 10, 12 or IA
hours, the pot being tightly covered, to
prevent loss by evaporation Skim care
fully and frequently.
About two hours before taking it off
tie together the vegetables you want to
use for flavoring and put them into the
pot If they cook more than two hours,
they will injure the stock. When it is
nearly done, salt it to taste. Remove
the bones, meat and vegetables, now
useless, and strain carefully. Put the
liquid in stone pot. If the same one
is used, wash it and cool it first. Let
the stock cool thoroughly, and then
place it on the ice. 1t will become O
thick jelly, readily soluble in hot water.
So dissolved it is perfect consomme
soup With additions it becomes almost
any soup desired. But, as was said, II
is extremely valuable in many dishes
J besides soup, both on account of its
flavor and of its richness.
1t is particularly good to give strength
and flavor to all or nearly all gravies
and such sauces as are not of the may
onnaise order 1t enriches minced meats
in all the various forms in which they
are used to tempt the palate. 1t adds {
flavor to Holsters or crabs when they arr

addition to all chowders and to sauce

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the incan.
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago a prominent gen.

the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and 1t came
so near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite number In
the past few weeks, who have ordered their

The MistaIte Of n Recruit Whose IrnagIna-

At the beginning of the war there
were q lot Of raw" soldiers, who,
though ardent fellows and good fight
ers, were not up to the West Point
standard ON military matters. At War
renton, Va, one Of the new companies
happened to be- stationed early In the
conflict, and many were the lessons that
had to be learned by the earnest but
ignorant southerners, who had but q
slight idea of the rigid rules Of warlike
discipline. But ON the whole they did

It was one balmy September evening,
Just that time Of the year when the cool

behind bank Of clouds resting on the
crests Of the Blue Ridge. and the line
Of light crept down the sides and crawl

About in the field were scattered the
white tents of the Confederates, and be

camp break out into the gloom. The ali
was warm and fragrant, and the sol

the situation.
Presently the moon sank behind tn
dark pillows of the cloud bank and th
world was wrapped in silence and dark
ness. But in each bush there sparkle
a glowworm, and about in the air cir

as lightning bugs whose tiny tail

Some Observing Individual Notes Wom-
anIy Eccentricity.
Have you ever noticed" sad man
about-town to a reporter for the Phil
adelphia Record, that nine women
out of ten when they enter a street
car invariably take seat on the right
hand side of the car? 1 have frequently
wondered at it, and solution of the
mystery did not occur to me until q
few nights ago. I boarded a Girard
avenue car which was entirely empty,
and sat down in the forward left-hand
corner. At the next crossing woman
got aboard and sat down opposite me.
At the next street two more women
got in and took seats alongside of the
women in the car, all sitting in row,
leaving me to enjoy alone the comforts
Of the left-hand seats. Then three men
jumped aboard and sat down on my
side. Finally another woman Joined
us, and instead of taking vacant seat
rear the door on the ladies side she
walked the entire length of the car
and sat down alongside of me. This
eccentricity on her part impelled me
to watch her more closely than good
manners possibly warranted, but l
solved the mystery to my satisfaction.
She paid the conductor with her left
hand! She was left-handed; see? And
ell the women on the other side were
of course. Fact!"

with Speedy Punishment.
A sergeant in the Second cavalry re-
calls an incident in his life in the Milk
river country, Montana. He was then a
private, and was carrying the mail be-
tween the camp and Fort Assiniboine.
One day lie met an Indian, and, riding
along together, the soldier proffered
him pipe, which the red man smoked
peacefully. After travelling thus ali
the morning, they came to creek, and
the Indian refined up, saying that he
was going down the stream, whereas
the mail route led upward. So they
separated, and, when the soldier had
gone about so yards, he turned in his
saddle to wave another farewell. To
his horror, he saw the Indian in the
act of drawing a bead on him. Quick
as flash he tumbled off his horse, un
slung his carbine, and returned the
fire of the treacherous savage. Tho
Indian then fed, with the soldier il
pursuit, when suddenly the Indian anG
his horse disappeared from sight. The
soldier followed up carefully, until hi
stood on the brink of precipice, 2OC
feet in depth. At the bottom lay tn,
Indian and his pony, both dead. TIL,
faithless Indian, in his hurried attack
forgot about this cliff, and in his high
went to destruction.

people who gathered at the Buckeye
park on the Columbus, Hooking Valley
ana Toledo road this afternoon have q
pretty we'll defined idea of q railroad
collision. The forty-tou locomotives, to
each of which was attached three coal
cars and a caboose, were run together
al speed of forty miles an hour. As
one or the engines was q little faster
than the other, preliminary trials Of
speed were made so as to bring the coll

the point of meeting, the F.. L. Streeter
5000 feet north. The engines were start

ming at a rate of forty miles an hour,
There was a terrific crash and roar Of
escaping steam as the engines came to-
gether. and they reared UP in the air.
The cars behind them were telescoped.
but the cabooseS were only partly
wrecked. AS the clouds of dust and
steam obscured the wreck there was a
tremendous shout: then when the es-
bered over the wreckage and every loose
bit of iron that could be found was car
ried away as relic. Both engines were
a complete wreck. microscopic views
of the collision were taken by New York
experts. The only thing to mar the sue
cess of the affair was the accident to the
clerk in the general passenger office Of
the Hooking Valley. A flying bolt
struck him on the right leg below the
knee, breaking the bone. A piece Of
iron also punctured his thigh. He was
brought to the city on a special train.

NEW YORK, May 30.-The statement
Of the New York clearing house banks
for Ave days ending May 20. while 1t
shows an increase in the amount of Idle
cash In bank vaults, is still favorable
In several particulars. The exhibit
does not include the total operations of
the week, the Withdrawals for Satur-
days gold export having been made af-
ter the average had been completed.
The expansion of loans was 81, 756, 900,
and although this total is not as large as
might have been wished it probably re-
fleets that mercantile demand, as stock
exchange business, was almost stag
nant. The decline in money rates prob
ably accounts for the expansion in part.
The interior receipts have been quite
large during the week. The deposit to-
tai. however, as was the case with other
items, does not reflect actual conditions.
Taken as whole. the statement is bet
ter than earlier indications. The total
receipts of the New York banks are now
slightly In excess of 500, 900, 900, or about
half the amount reported for the cor
responding week last year. Total de-
posits are 6s000,000 less and loans are
$27.000,OO0 lower than for the corre-
spending week in 1896. The banks have
gained about $4,000, 900 in gold during
the present month, but still hold SIS, O00,-
900 less than on February 8, just before
they began to turn gold into the treas
ury for bonds.
