Good Rules for Living.

Much OF late has been written about
the various kinds of food which par
ticularly nourish or supply the waste of
the brain. That the labors of the brain
are exhausting to the animal economy
is very true, but the experience of the
studious has proved that it is not so
much the intensity of the study as the
length of time spent on it, and neglect
OF relaxation, that produce the ex-
haustion. German students generally
study more hours than we do here, yet
break-downs very rarely occur among
them. The reason of this is they take
better care of the body for The sake Of
the mind-of the house because of the
tenant that occupies It. The real fact
is that the majority of us rust out
rather than wear out. That the brain is
Effected both by the quality and quanti-
ty of the food and drink like other
parts of the, body-perhaps more IN pro-
portion to the amount of blood it con-
tains-no psychologist will deny. But
that there are certain kinds of food
say fish and milk, as some have main
tained-which are specially adapted to
repair the exhausted brain, has never
been actually demonstrated. The best
way to preserve the brain is above all
not to unduly tax it, to eat temporarily
of such food as has been found by ex-
p%erience to agree with the stomach, to
avoid late suppers and night work, and
to sleep as much as nature requires

The work of Strengthening the track and
reducing the grade at Tabs Station on the
second division OF the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was recently completed, and the
first train to Use the new line was No. !, the
| New York and st, Louis flyer. A heavy
grade and three bad curves have been elm
mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers
Hole, a similar improvement has also been
| completed after months of work. Several
reverse curves and a nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this point. Near
Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the
track is being materially changed, and, as in
the other two improvements, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being re-
moved. This part of the work will be done
in sixty days and then a series OF very dan
gerous places will have been entirely re-
moved, This work in its entirety means the
hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the danger
Of derailments to almost nothing. The Sec
ond division, running from Cumberland to
Brunswick, will soon be in iirst-class con.
dition and more eheaply operated than

Gen. Ramon Blanco, marquis OF Pena

THE SAVING OF FATS.
An Important Item of Household


The saving and clarifying Of fats is
one OF those economies which a great
many American housewives have aban-
Goned because they have found it i'm
possible to make the average servant
save and separate the fats of the
kitchen and clarity them for their re-
spective uses. No French housekeeper
scorns such small economies; nor does
she allow her servant to eyade what she
considers a necessary part Of her
Kitchen work.
Fats OF the kitchen may be divided
into four kinds. First come the delicate
fats, like clarified butter, brown butter
and chicken fat, which are valuable in
the finest cookery. Secondly, there are
the fats clarified from the drippings of
roast meats, the fat skinned off the top
Of the broth kettles before vegetables
and salt have been added, and any fat
from beef, veal or fresh pork, This kind
Of fat is the most valuable frying fat
that can be obtained. Ii is far better
than lard, so commonly used for deep
frying.
Gouffe. the highest French authority
in cookery, ranks frying fats as fol-
lows:
The best is the drippings OF roast
meat and the top of the broth or soup
pct: next is beef suet, chopped fine and
tried out, Butter requires a slow fire
and burns quickly, and is therefore in
ferior 10 either Of the fats previously
named for frying, besides being eXpens-
i've. Oil also requires careful handling,
as it rises rapidly and is liable to boil
over. Lard" adds this authority, II
am 10 advocate OF, as it always leaves
an unpleasanteoatingoffato whatever
is fried in it,"
The poorest fats, butter and lard, arc,
unfortunately, those most freely used
in the average American kitchen. while
drippings and the top of the broth pot
are often thrown away.
The salt fat tried out OF bacon, ham,
sausage or salt pork, or boiled out Of
corned beef or ham, should be carefully
This fat is useful, after ii has
been carefully treated, for frying po-
and for various purposes. The
remaining fats Of the kitchen. includ-
ing the drippings Of mutton, lamb, the
fat of trukey and game, or any strong
fat. are unfit for cooking purposes, but
should be saved for soap grease. Sailed
fats are not good for this purpose.
Careful housekeepers put clarified
butter, brown butter and clarified
chicken fat in separate jars. Marmalade
jars are about the proper size. If there
is any butter left In the pan after cook
ing an ome.et, eggs or any fired dish.
when butter is used, strain it into the
dish of brown butter. A gallon jar may
be used to contain frying fats.-N. Y.

from three to four cents a bushel. At
the same time there has been a steady

Local dealers make a market price

open trading should be restored under

OF course, this proposition was declined
by the exchanges, and a still greater
drop in the price of wheat followed.
