1t is common to hear people speak
Of greasy sinks, pots an rams.
These things would not exist, and do
not, under proper management 1t
is saving of time 10 save the grease
which rises to the top of soup pot
or dripping pau This may be done
by straiuing it into receptacles kept
for the purpose. The slight scum
left clinging TO the dish may be cut by
throwing into the water poured in it
half handful of washing soda or
little potash dissolved in boiling wa
ter. With a good whisk kept for the
purpose aud this strong alkali the dish
may be quickly scrubbed clean, and
the sink in which it is washed will be
cleaned at the same time.
The poor manager ''paus" or
fries her chops, but she seldom utilizes
the brown drippings or scraps Of the
meat and the grease left, although
This will make a good gravy. She
will, in nine cases out Of ten, allow it
to burn in the pan, in which case it is
far harder to wash the pau than it
would be if the gravy had been made.
1t may not be de sirable to serve the
gravy with the chops for this is hardly
rich enough, but it will be a proper
basis for the making of nice tomato
sauce Well seasoned aud combined
with an equal amount of stewed and
strained tomatoes the disdained gravy
IS converted into an appetizing relish.
1t may also be served with some vege-
liable, or it may be put aside for use
On another day. New York Tribune

All knives should be washed as
soon as possible afle. they are used.
Grease, acids, salt, ETC, all act upon
the steel and impair its sharpness.
When ready to wash the knives, take
knife in one hand and soft cloth in
the other; dip the other into warm
mot hot water, wash thoroughly and
quickly, passing the wet cloth over
fba, handle; then with 9sQftrFly, CLOTH
wipe until thoroughly dry. After TINS
the knives sh uld be cleaned
with bath brick applied by
means of a potato which has
been cut into halves an dipped into
the powder. A few vigorous rubs
will re move all stains from the knife,
and it should be again dipped into
warm water AMI quickly washed and
thoroughly dried. A drawer or bas-
ket lined with soft flannel is the proper
receptacle for well-cared-for knives.
All carye-s, forks and steels should be
kept in sets, and, as soon as used, re-
turned to their proper places.

VICTIM OF POLITICS.
General Malone of Virginia Saw
Wealth Vanish with Fame.

Gcucfal monOuo ot NhGiuih Ca"
Wealth Vanish with Fame.
More fortunes are lost than made In
politics. Some old friends Of the late
Senator Malone have united In OBJ
tanning for his son, Butler Malone. a
eonsulship In Mexico. II Is not gener-
ally known that young Malone found
It necessary TO appeal to some Of his
fathers former associates in public life
TO get something TO do. He first tried
railroad employment. He was willing
to take place as brakeman, for he Is
not troubled with false pride. Like bis
father, the son is of delicate physique,
and 1t was evident that he was MT
equal to the work. When the late Gen
eral Malone entered political life In
Virginia he was probably the richest
man in Petersburg. IfnOt a million
alre, he was well on the way TO a for
tune represented by seven figures.
With great energy lie had taken hold
Of the material restoration of the
South, and had identified himself with
railroad construction, becoming presi-
dent Of one of the principal routes to
tidewater. After he left the Democrat
lc party of his State on the debt Issue
and took the leadership of an element
which for some years was dominant In
Virginia, his fortune began to shrink.
For time General Malone was a
wonderfully successful man in poll
ties. But at the close of his service in
the Senate his State had become Dem
ocratic, and he took up his residence in
Washington. His estate melted until
1t was reduced TO one large holding iii
this city. General Malone tried TO sell
this large block to the government for
the site of new public clearinghouse,
and several times almost succeeded.
The Senate repeatedly passed bill TO
buy the property, but the House reject
ed 1t. Malone died without realizing
on this property, and leaving it so
heavily incumbered that 1t went under
the hammer. The purchase price was
about $150,000. n fraction of what the
government would have paid If the
Senate bill had passed. When he died
General Malone owed an account of
some thousands of dollars at the hotel
where he had lived for several years.
His son was left to start in life with
nothing more than pluck. Had the
elder Malone eschewed politics and de
voted his splendid executive talents to
railroad building he would have been
one of the foremost men of the South
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
