In buying a roast of beef for a small
family do not try to buy too large a
one, as the family will tire of it before
it is eaten. a one-rib roast of the sec
ond or third cut will usually
be quite sufficient. Have the rib
removed skewer or tie in a
round shape, seas n with salt and
pepper, dredge " n flour; brown
quickly on each side on the stove or in
a hot oven; and finish the process in a
cool oven. Forty Ainutes will suffice
for the whole operation. If Drowned
potatoes are to accompany the roast,
cut in halves, cook in boiling sailed
water until nearly done then lay in the
dripping pan with the roast and finish
there, basting frequently with the drip
pings.

Without waiting for the completion
of her great drainage canal, Chicago
proposed to stop the discharge of her
sewers into Lake Michigan, which sup
plies her with drinking water. Two
new sewers are to be constructed, emp
tying into the Illinois and Michigan
Canal, and slight changes will be made
in some of the existing sewers to adapt
them to this new plan.
A rather curious feature of the work
in hand is an alteration in the grade
of section, 104 feet long, of an old
sewer so that its contents will flow
westward instead of eastward The
inclination is very slight, and the re-
quired modification will therefore be
trifling. A flooring of concrete will be
laid on the bottom of the great six
foot conduit 1t will be nearly eigh-
teen inches thick at what is now the
lowest end, and less than six inches
thick at the other. This difference will
be sufficient to give a slope in the OPP
posite direction. The flooring will
not be fiat, but curved so as to form
furrow of less width than the orig
inal sewer.

The death of Tai Won Kun, father of
the King of Corea, will simplify it's
politics. He was probably the wick
eldest villain on EARTH and for fifty
years had been at the bottom or the
top of all the mischief that has oc-
CURED in the Hermit Kingdom. lie
was Regent during the minority of the
King, who inherited the throne from
a childless uncle, and ruled with the
most brutal despotism for a quarter of
a century. 1t was while he was at
the head of affairs that we had our lit
tie war with Corea, which resulted in
opening the country to foreigners. lie
was the foe of all forms of progress,
and particularly hostile to missionar-
les and modern improvements. He
murdered thousands of people who
stood in his way or refused to bend to
his will, and it took three years for
the Government to get rid of him after
the King became of age. Twice he
was the prime mover in plots to as
sassinate his own son, and three times
attempted the assassination of the
Queen. The last attempt was success
full in 1895.
The old scoundrel lived in a palace
a few miles outside the city, surround
ed by double guard, one of his own,
in whom he had confidence to protect
him against the vengeance Of those
he had injured, and another provided
by the Government to prevent him
from leaving the place. He seems to
have died a natural death, and it is
almost miracle, for no other man on
earth was so viciously hated

Kitchen Measures.

Young housekeepers are frequently
both puzzled and annoyed by the diff
ferent terms used in different cook
books. Generally all ingredients are
measured by the cup, pint and quart. So
when an author advises that one put a
half pound of sugar into a certain prep
al alton the uninitiated housewife is
seized with despair when she recalls
the fact that her scales are broken or
that she has none. One woman who
insists that measuring with cup and
spoon is good enough" for her had the
following rules copied on the typewri-
ter, and tackled on her kitchen WALL
One pound of liquids equals one pint.
One ounce of -four equals two table
spoonfuls. One pound of butter equals
two cupsful. One pound of flour equals
four cupfuls. One pound of graduated
sugar equals two large cupsful. One
pound of powdered sugar equals two
and a half cupsful.

than those of tin dc igned for the pur-

When bread comes from the oven,

Keep bread in a stone jar with close

sweet as a rose by thoroughly scalding
twice a week, and then summing or by

IT WOULD HIT HARD
BILL TO PREVENT OFFICERS FROM
APPOINTING RELATIVES.
VIII He Introduced in the LeSislut urc
at the Coming Session-Fhc
Gang VIII. of Course,
Fight Ii.

A bill to prohibit the appointment by Of
ficeholders of their relatives to official pO-
sitions will be introduced at the coming
session of the Legislature. Should this bill
become a law it will prove bitter pill TO
the gang which is in the saddle in ;his
county. among whom nepOtism is holy
principle sanctioned by inheritance and
tradition.
That public office is a family snap has
become an axiom with the office-holding
gang in Jackson county, and to give up
this privilege which the apathy of the pso-
pie has bestowed would indeed be a blow
to the pride and pocket of the gang.
Among the present county officers who
are exercising their nepouc dispositions are
Marshal Chiies. whose son. Hugh, is a
deputy, and Judge Wofford, who employs
his son, Clarence. as his Stenographer-
1t has not yet been decided who Will
introduce this bill in the legislature. bur
it is safe to assume that it will not he by
any of the gang members from Jackson
county, who in more than one instance
owe their election to the wholesale pur-
chase of votes and the active work of men,
hers of the same gang whose prerogative.'
would be curtailed in the event of the pas
sage of the bill. 1t Is probable that either
j. II. Hawthorne or Homer Il. Mann, the
Republican members. will introduce the
bill. Mr.. Mann has in hand u bill TO cut
down the salaries of county officers and 1t
is probable that the anti-nepotiSm feature
will be Incorporated in the bill.
