HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES.
How Living Expenses May he Mate
rally LesSened.

In reply to a subscriber who asks for
some article on household economy we
will give several papers, including
economy in cooking, in making over
old clothing and in the general use of
the various articles that would other
wise accumulate in the house. Economy
in cooking requires continual watchful-
ness of small matters. The individual
who is compelled to reduce her living
to the smallest means should save every
particle of food or fat left from the
meals. The fat OF pork, beef, veal or
chickens makes excellent frying fat.
The fat of mutton, lamb or even of the
turkey is too strong to use in cooking,
but must be saved for soap fat. The
question of what is fit for food when
cooked again is one each person must
decide for herself. Almost any vegeta-
blcs left at dinner may be used for a
salad. Meat may always be recooked or
served cold with q salad dressing. Thin
slices of cold meat eaten with mustard
CT some variety of sauce will generally
be acceptable if not put on the table
too often, but cold meat is not so whole
some or digestible as not meat. 1t is an
art which every hOusekeeper ought to
cultivate TO cook meat so that it is as
palatabie and as delicious the second
time as it was when it was first put on
the table. Warmed-over messes, i'm
properly seasoned and generally flavor
less, are not fit for food.
1t is the duty of the economic house
keeper to keep an extra account of her
expenditures and limit herself TO a GER
tain amount. She will be astOnished
sometimes at the delicious meals she
can concoct from materials she once
thought suitable for the portion as
signed TO the pig. This cannot be done
without care. II is not ecOpOmy to
buy cheap. poor meat, or poor, stale
vegetables. In this matter the best is
the cheapest-N. Y. Tribune.

that swept across the exposed stand
and delivered his address.
The vast crowd listened with keen
attention to the presidents words, and
at intervals broke into cheers when
some incident in the dead soldiers ca
reer was alluded to by the distin-
guiShed speaker. Even those who
were too far removed from xhe speak
err to hear d word seemed to be as much
interested as these who were within

At the conclusion of the presidents
address Col Fred Grant advanced and

which Horace Porter was introduced

discreet than the president, Gen.
Porter kept his hat on while he was
speaking. He read his address from

gan to speak the biting wind forced
many of the ladies in the presidential
party to seek the shelter of the tomb.
Among those were Mrs. Mckinley, who
was slightly indisposed. Gen. Porter
was followed by Mayor Strong.
The 'Hallelu jah Chorus" from liam
del's Messiah, and the doXology were
sung, and this concluded the ccrcIno-
MES at the speakers stand. The pres

tinguished guests then retired to the
tent in the rear of the tomb. where an
elaborate luncheon was served.
The president was escorted to the
table by Mayor Strong, and Col. Grant

THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
several Groups of the Famous Trees
Are Still Standing


Every girl and boy of the Christian
world has heard and read, over and over
again, of the "Cedars Of Lebanon" but
very few have any idea of the locality
and surroundings of the famous grove.
1t is a popular error, by the way, to
suppose that there are no other cedars
remaining besides this group at the
head Of the "Wady" (valley or canyon)
hadiSha. There are, to my knowledge,
ten other groves, some numbering thou
sands of trees. This particular group
that we are about to visit is called by
the Arabs by name which means,
'Cedars of the Lord" They number
about 400 trees, among them a circle Of
gigantic fellows that are called by the
natives The Twelve Apostles" upon
the strength of an old tradition that
Jesus and His disciples having come
TO this spot and left their slaves stand
ing in the ground, these slaves sprouted
into cedar trees.
There is every reason to suppose that
in the time of King Solomon these scat
tered groves were part of an enormous
uhbroken forest. extending the entire
length Of the Lebanon range of noun

parallel with the Mediterranean shore

and cedar trees, and carpenters, and

From that day TO this the people have
been almost as reckless and waSteful
of these noble giants of the mountains
as our own people are of these cedars'
first cousins. the redwood trees of the
California coast range. As we approach
the grove, which stands upon the top
of a small hill, the foliage is almost
black against the snow-covered crags
of Dahrel-Kidih which rearS its highest
peak over 10000 feet above the sea.
There is a MarOnite chapel in the
grove, it's patriarch claiming the sole
eight to the sacred trees; and. luckily.
the superstition with which the trees
have been surrounded has been their
salvation. All the cedars of Lebanon
would have been demolished for red
wood years ago were not the people

they take a single stick.-Harry Fern,

was as follows:

The first row Immediately back of
the platform was occupied by the
Grant party, Col. Fred Grant being on
the end escorting his mother.
Immediately back of the Grant fam
lily were seated the members of the
presidents family, including Mrs. Nc

and Miss Maud Mckinley.
The third row was occupied by the
ladies of the cabinet. many mem bers
of their families and friends in gen

singing OF America. A solemn
silence then fell on the dense crowd as
the venerable Bishop John p. Newman
invoked the blessing of Heaven on the
ceremonies Many of the people join
ed in the Our Father" which con-
cluded the bishops prayer.
As soon as the prelate had taken his
seat the hymn of thanks, 'Old Meth

Another mighty cheer arose when

of the hymn. moved to the railing of
the speakers stand to deliver his adj

Cheers greeted the distinguished
party as it moved through the decor
ated streets, the enthusiasm being so
noteworthy that President Mckinley's
face was joyous and his hat was in a
state of constant salute.
Mrs Grant and her family, to the
third generation, were objects of
especial attention, and the widow of
the hero was visibly affected at the
great popular demonstration.
The visitors got a chance to see
million people. The nbroLen wall of

The arrival Of the official portion Of
the procession at the tomb was the
signal for most stupendous outburst
of patriotic cheering from the $4,000
people in the grand stands and on he

Claremont Heights.
The president and the other guests
ali@hted from their carriages at the
monument stands and took the places
assigned to them in readiness for the
oratorical and musical ceremonies at
1896 o'clock, and stiffness reigned in
place of the noisy enthusiasm that

Returns to Sleepy Hollow On Foot.
Could you tell me the road tC Sleepy
Hollow" asked an old man WHOSE shoes
were white with dust. as he stopped al
the junction of three roads near Andre
Brook. In his right hand he carried
heavy staff. and pinned to the lapel ot
his coat was a. beautiful yellow rose.
The old man had been walking along the
Albany post road and had just passed
the spot where the British spy was
captured when he came to bend in the
road where the three roads meet. Fifty
years ago it was but junction for the
road to Sing Sing and the road to Bed
ford. Now the town clerks office stands
there, and the town clerk, with the
justices of the peace, who compose the
board of canvaSSerS, were there can

ton.
John A. Liant answered the question,
and directed the old man toward Sleepy
Hollow. The old man then inquired
about certain house on the COutant
farm. The two were soon engaged in
conversation. The stranger was Jacob
Minnerly, member of a well-known
revolutionary family by that name who
lived at Sleepy Hollow years ago. before
Irving gave that picturesque country it's
name. 1t was in small house on the
COutant farm that he was born, &c wears
ago. 1t was to see this house and the
scenes of his early childhood that Min
nerly had come.
More than half century ago, longing
Tor adventure he left home to seek his
fortune. He sailed around the world,
visited all its principal countries, but
did not gather riches. Where he had
spent his last few years he did not tell.
MIR. Liant took him in his carriage, and
as they drove down the old road MINER
ly at once recognized Coutant hill and
house, the old Jones homestead. where
his grandmother, Mrs. Jones, lived; the
Bill Carl house, the Furman house. and.
lastly, the old schOOlhOuse, which he at

new schOolhOuse recently erected by
John ID. Rockefeller, while the school

THE INCAPABLE WOMAN.
There Is No Place for Her In This
Day and Generation

Day and GeneratiOn.
Nowhere outside of an old-fashioned
romance is there a spot IL the world
where the incapable woman can to-day
maintain foothoid. In the leisurely
Three-volume novel dear to our grand
parents, Arabella and Araminta, gentle,
pallid, timid, submissive creatures, fall
tered and gasped and tainted gracefully
in their chairs at the slightest excuse
for such behavior. To swoon with ease
was regarded as a proof of elegance,
and as distinctive line marking the
difference between the milkmaid and
the lady born and bred. Possibly the
tight lacing then in vogue aided the lady
IN her ability to perform this part of ner
role to the satisfaction of the spectators
who were usually within the receding
vision of the fainting and fragile being
| whose delicate nerves were proof
against neither terrors by night nor
shocks by day.
Frankly we doubt whether the old
| novellstS were quite fair in their por-
| traiture of the current life of their
times. We find Jennie Deans able TO
undertake Il long, difficult and every
way arduous journey, reaching it's end
as fresh and hearty and full OF purpose
and courage as at the beginning. her
| beauty not marred by hardship and loss
| OF rest. Mary, queen of Scots. was able
! TO sit for hours in the saddle, no cav
alier of her period riding harder or
faster or more bravely than the bold and
|
| beautiful queen. The famous women
who made the court of France splendid
| during successive changes and revolu-
| tons were not frail, die-away creatures
| of ghost-like hues and willOwy outlines;
they were substantial flesh and blood
women, equal to all the dangers and
perilous adventures which were often
| their portion.
Recalling the much harder conditions
of housekeeping of the times of our
| grandmOthers and of their mothers be-
fore them, we are impressed with the
| fact that the women who surmounted
successfully so many obstacles must
have been made of really tough fiber
The modern appliances which give us
everything for our tables in highly con
densed and beautiful forms, ready for
use with the minimum of preparation
were then unknown. Shey pounded the
pepper and pulveriZed the sugar and
rolled the salt. SO far from having
electric lights to command at the touch
of a mysterious knob, they had not even
lucifer matches. The fire had to be
| kept in by strenuous care. and some
times one went to her neighbors to Dor
row a handful of fire with which to
light her own. Nothing was easy
Everything required hard, persevering
and unremitting labor. so that we may
believe that the women of that Older
day were far from being incapable.
Incapable women may for the briet
season of youth, while the sea-shel
color tints the rounded cheek and the
beauty of health beams in the bright
eyes, win a passing tribute from
thoughtless men; but the women who
wear we'll must know how to meet
emergencies. how to order and see theil
orders obeyed, how to hold themselves
in calm composure, whatever tempest:
are abroad. The incapable woman wa:
