To Prepare Suet.

To render suet for cooking purpos-
es, cut it into small pieces while fresh
and cover with cold water; let stand
"a hours, changing the water once
during the time; this removes tho
tallowy taste. Drain we'll and put the
pieces into an iron kettle with
smooth bottom surface and add half a
teacupful of milk to each pound OF
suet. Let cook very slowly at first
and moderately throughout until the
fat is clear and light brown and all
sound of cooking has ceased. Loosen
the suet occasionally from the bottom
of the kettle, but avoid stirring. Let
stand until partly cold, then pour OIL
into cups to become cold. This fat IS
as sweet and nice as butter and can
be used in the place Of butter for
cooking purposes. The fat in the
scraps" can be pressed out and used
for frying. 1t is not, Of course, quite
as nice as the first. When making
| p;ecrust of suet roll the crust with a
large, old-fashioned bottle filled with
warm water. For mince, apple
or pumpkin pies, which are warmed
for the table, suet is perfect short
ening. It is very nice for frying
doughnuts if they are heated before

Fortunes Smile.

A pork butcher at Rheims who
bought an old mattress for triaing
sum at auction found $4,000 francs
$4,000 inside it when he opened it.
He handed the money back to the man
from whom he bought the mattress,
but his creditors, hearing Of the mat
ter, have taken steps to procure the
money for their benefit.
J. P. Pomeroy of Atchison, Kan,
invested $4,000 in the Lilly mine a few
years ago, AMI the Globe says the mine
is actually paying Mr.. Pomeroy s45oo
a month.
As r. B. Powell of Weber, in the
Cherokee Strip, was passing through
his horse lot he discovered half dol
lar, and on examination found $41
more in q pot similar to shavlng-mug,
made of common earthware. There
were twenty-six Spanish dollars dated
1894, 1898. 1879, 1926, and ranging
between these dates, and thirty-thref
half dollars, all except two American,
and the dates range from 1912 back t.
1705. Several of the dates are 1905.
A few years ago a Mr.. Brewer plowed
up a similar pot on the same farm will
$50 Of the same kind Of Spanish money
In addition to the gold recently un
earthed on the farna of William Hoey
near Sharon, Penn, Mrs. Albert Nc
Dowell, relative, has found coffee
pot, hiddeni in a spring house, contain
ing over $4,000 in gold. The farm la
almost been turned over by searching
parties.

Oueerest Town in England.

The most curious town in England
is Norwich. There is not straight
street, nor, in fact,a straight house in
the place; every part of it has the ap-
pearance Of having suffered from the
visitation Of an earthquake. Norwich
is the centre of the salt industry in
Cheshire, England, Oh nearly all sides
of the town are big salt works, with
their engines pumping hundreds of
thousands of gallons Of brine every
week. At a depth of some 200 to 800
feet are immense subterannean lakes
of brine, and as the contents of these
are pumped and pumped away, the
upper crust of earth is correspondingly
weakened and the result is an occa-
sional subsistence. These subsidences
have "pulling'' effect on the nearest
buildings, and they are drawn all ways
and give the town an extremely dis
sipated appearance.

The Popular Fox Terrier.

All terriers are good. They are as
shrewd, game, loyal small chaps as
ever stood upon canine feet OF gazed at
their owner with soulful, loving eyes,
and of them all 1 prefer the fox ter
rier, either wire-haired or smooth
coated. These aristocratic, diminu-
tive gentlemen unquestionably are
today the most popular dogs in the
wide, wide world, and there are many
excellent reasons why this should be
so. From the palace to the cottage
these dogs have proved their sterling
qualities to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and they are especially we'll
suited to the conditions which govern
in crowded centres.
When the big St. Bernard, mastiff,
Dane OF other heavy breed is painting
in the contracted backyard, bowling
on chain, pining for exercise and
freedom, the terrier is merely having
fun, busying himself about the house,
warning off doubtful intruders and
generally attending to everything
which appears to require supervision.
Clever, alert and stout-hearted, he
never relaxes his guard and he fears
nothing. His cleverness, as rule, is
safeguard against his making mis-.
takes regarding the desirability OF
visiting strangers. He seems instlnc-
lively to recognize persons who are
not wanted about the premises, and
woe to them if their mission be evil
and their desire a stealthy invasion.
He protests promptly and vigorously,
and he will not cease until some one
of his household has appeared aud
taken charge Of the atter.-Outing,

Curious Matrimonial Alliances.

Of course alliances between female

HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
When Securing Tins.

Cake tins and strainers that are
greasy should DO first washed in hot
soda water and then secured with a
soapy flannel dipped into silver sand.
When the surface is perfectly clean
rinse in hot water and dry with clean
cloth. Afterward polish with a little
dry whiting and finish off with a
leather. Dish covers will never take
a good polish unless washed with hot
soda water and soap first. For the
corners and carved part use an old
plate brush,

The next day but one parcel was
left ct the door for Mrs. Evelyn by
MISUNDERSTANDING little boy. Moran
carried it up and laid it on L'cy..s
bed. The poor girl could hardly walt
to open it until she was alone. =,
It was the pink silk dress, creased
and crump!ed, with a note pinned to
it in Maria Harris coarse handwriting:

Misfortune to spill little ize-creme on the

With fainting heart Lucy unrolled
The parcel and saw the dress was

Mrs. Evelyn came back the mex

"Why, child, what is the matter?'
said Mrs. Evelyn kindly.
And Lucy, with a faltering voice
