PROPER PLACING OF MEAT.

Although dinner authorities an
nounce that carving is going out Of
fashion, the joint on the board is not
likely soon, if ever, to be wholly BAN
ished. A lecturer in q domestic sci
ence curse gives some rules for the
proper placing of the meat to be
carved on the platter. Roasts of beef,
rib and sirloin should have the back
bone at the right hand of the platter.
A fillet Of beef should be placed with
The thickest end at right hand side of
platter; calls head with faco ut the
right; roast pig with head to the left;
roast or boiled ham with thickest part
On further side OF platter large birds,
as goose or turkey, with heads to the
left. Small birds are placed crosswise
with heads on further side of the plat
ter. A leg of lamb, mutton or veal is
placed with the thickest part on the
further side of the platter. The plat
Ter should be large enough to receive
the meat as it is sliced, or extra dishes
should be provided for the purpose

Oueer Railway Economies.

Railway economy has taken some
curious forms. every line is its own

When an employee has had the misfor-
tune to lose a limb on the line, q

Locomotive Building.

1t is a popular belief that certain
shops car build a locomotive in TWEEN
ty-four working hours. According to
Locomotive Engineering, however,
while it is possible to assemble the
parts of a locomotive in less time than
this, to build an engine from specif-
cations requires much longer. The
record in this matter is probably held
by the Baldwin Works, which on their
first great Russian order turned ont
engines within four weeks after the
order was given. when European
builders. according to this journal,
wanted twice as many months.
It takes four pattern-makers from
six TO eight weeks to make the COM
plete set of patterns for a mogul-en-
CINE. Two men will be ten or twelve
days making the pattern for a cylinder
and half-saddle and all-core boxes, SO
that locomotive builders are very ex-
peditious when they have an engine
ready six weeks after the specifications
have been received, especially with the
diverse forms and special patterns now
IN vogue.

CLEANLINESS IN TEAMAKrNG.

In making tea, n thing upon
which the expert insists is the absolute
cleanliness of the pot. Many house,
keepers who are ~scrupulously careful
about their china would be surprised
If they could examine the inside Of
the nose of the teapot. Flushing with
water will not clean it sufficiently.
The end OF q cloth pressed a little
way into it will frequently reveal q
black deposit-the accumulation, pos
sibly, of years, though n few days
without care will leave an appreciate
amount. Oae of the best things to
clean the teapot with is bristled wire,
such as is used for cleaning bottles.
They are soft enough to bend into
shape, and with a soft cloth are ser
viceable. The Chinese tea bowl APP
peals to the fastidious tea drinker, but
it is awkward even to tho experienced
manipulation.

CROPPING APPLE ORCHARDS.

No kind of crop a be grown in a
bearing apple orchard that will be
worth what its growing will damage
the fruit crop after the trees are in
bearing. Even before that time, un-
less the land is very rich and the tree
growth excessive, it is better not to
SOW any grain crops. which will check
growth early in the summer. Hoed
crops do not have this effect. But
after the trees get large enough to
shade most of the ground, the hoed
crop, whether corn or potatoes, will
be l%essened so much that it will not
pay to grow. Only n kind OF grain
can be sown in an old orchard with
advantage. That is b~uckwheat. The
scattered grains in fall will make q
spring growth that q be plowed
under in jane. This will keep the
soil light, while The buckwheat will be
a good shade for the soil during the
hottest summer months. AS the buck
wheat grain is mainly carbon, and
drawn from the carbonic acid gas of
the air through the broad buck
wheat leaves, the growth of this
plant does not exhaust fertility ms that
of all other grains would do.-Boston

Ordinary goldfish for aquariums can
BIO bought as low as 10 cents each.
From that the prices run mp very

for q well-bred telescope fish. This

Turks, without calling up the reserves, have
taken almost the whole pass.
The Turks have occupied Ana and Emf
lonna, but they have not succeeded in taking
Kata. The Turks destroyed two pieces OF
! Greek artillery. The Greeks captured an
entire battery from the Turks. Three Greek
officers CT high rank were killed.
While this was going on a force of Greeks
crossed the frontier and evidently started
for S~alonica, the Turkish base of supplies.
1t IL probable that their intention is to cut of
the Turkish army from their headquarters
and thus pen then up In the mountain passes.
All diplomatic relations between the two
countries are at an end, and the Greeks have

EFFECTS OF FEED ON MILK.

Some Canadian experimentsin feed

the effects of certain feeds on the
quality and quantity OF milk, butter
and cheese, are reported by the Rural
Canadian. In addition to the usual
feed of hay, Indian corn, fodder, bran,
gluten meal and oil meal, the dairy
herd was fed turnips and beets for II
days, and then the roots were left ont

grain aud hay were Withdrawn, and
the herd a on pasture for Sc days,
part of the time with bran and part of
the time without. The feed was all
chopped, mixed and moistened IL
hours before feeding, as this aided
mastication and digestion. The herd
contained Holsteins, Shorthorns and
Jerseys, and the effects of the various
rations on these breeds were separ-
ately noted. The butter resulting
from these rations was scored by ex.
perts who knew nothing OF the expert
ments.
1t was found that turnips injured
the flavor of the milk and butter. This
injury is due to volatile acids. which
can be driven of by heating the milk
to 100 degrees for a short time. Beets
