low ours was cooked. We had Wild duck
with et cettras The ducks were dressed
with their wings folded closely over
their backs and legs tied TO their tails.

sliees Of sweet fat pork aud let frizzle

medium sized onions. a teaspoonfui OF
ground sage and let all cook well to-
gether; then the ducks with just enough
hot water 10 cover them. covered
them closely and let them bell slowly
for three hours, and they becsme quite
tough, take five hours The toughest

Drowned -four smoothed with little
water, and boiled rapidly few min

UsIng New Files.

An expart in files has given some di-
rections as to the best ways to use these
necessary implements. He says that u
new flo of very high temper should
first be ussd cn brass or cast iron. After
the 6rst sharpness is gone from it it
answers quite as we'll for wrought iron
and steel Sometimes new files will tear
the surface Of wrought lion and steel TO
sneh an extent as TO become very an
noying and cause additional work. Very
few mechanics thoroughly understand
the use Of Iles and the methods by
which they are utilized to the greatest
advantage. Files bite rolled metal much
nlorequickly and easily than cast, there.
fore it requires sharper file for brass
and cast iron than for the wrought ar
ticles or for steel. IL files are gradually
adapted to their best uses, they viii.
give mneh longer service than when
they are indiscriminately employed.

uhni shonla women DO,

One Of the great London dailies has
opened its columns to letter writers who
feel qualified TO answer the question,
''Should women work." Another form
Of the question is, "Should the wife be
a sweetheart OF companion in toils"
There have been dozens Of letters. aud
the conclusion which might be drawn
from all of them is that n woman s
proper place is at the home fireside, but
sometimes she is compelled by stern ne
cessity TO become wage Garner. The
present discussion in The Daily Tele-
graph has brought ont opinions exactly
similar to those which appeared in The
Record about four years ago, when the
employment Of women as clerks, book
keepers and typewriters was pretty
thoroughly denounced by men who were
out of work or whose pay was so small
that they could not undertake the finan-
ciai responsibility of married life.
The women Of London say, as the
women of Chicago said, 1--WE would
prefer to be housewives. but we are
compelled to be independent workers. I"
The men say, eve would like to
marry, but we dare not do so while our
pay is kept down by the close competi-
tion for which women are somewhat
TO blame. Chicago Record

As the subject is being agitated that
possibly the president of the United
States will confer some insignia upon
the women nurses who served in the
Spanish American war. il is Of interest
to know that in England there is a
decoration known as the Royal Red
Cross. Ii consists CT a cross of enameled
crimson. edged with gold, having on
the arms the words, Faith, Hope,
Charity, with the date OF the irstitu-
ton On the reverse side are the royal
and imperial cipher and crown. The
cross is attached 10 dark blue ribbon,
edged red. tied in bow and worn on
the left shoulder. This order is bestowed
by the sovereign on any woman or nurs-
ing sister recommended to her by the
secretary of state for special exertions
and devotion to the sick and wounded
sailors and soldiers.

Brunswick, n. J. There he set up his
litGe stock Of Swiss clocks and fitted
glasses to the noses Of the people of the
New Jersey town, for he l. also an
oculist. There in time came little Ma
ME TO play around the shop and gaze
wonderingIy at the many clocks as With
one accord they told off the hours OF
the day
As she grew older her interest in her
fafher's wcxk increased. When other
children of her age were at play, she
would stand fer hours at her fathers
knee and watch him as he deftly fitted
wheels and levers and cleaning jewels
together and then started the watch to
ticking in unison with the score of its
fellows that hung from the racks ri ms
bench.
A few years later the family came 10
Chicago and settled en- the West Side.
There Mr. Frey opened the store in
Madison street, where he is still IN
business. The child Mamie was sent 70
the public schools, but as soon as class
was over she would hasten 20 the shop
10 watch the fascinating tasks of her
father. Her love for his calling worried
Mr. Frey, who was unwilling that
child Of his should follow in the par
ent's footsteps Gliding did no good,
and the little girl in short dresses fatty
announced that when she grew mp she
vas going TO be a matchmaker like her
father. Her parents tried ridicule, they
tried scolding, they tried persuasion.
all with TIE same lack of success
The child's mute interest in his work
grew to very her father, so that at
length Mr. Frey, TO keep Mamie away
from the shop and to turn her mind in
20 other channels, secured for her the
petition cf companion TO the children
If a wealthy neighbor. For a time after
that Mamies duties kept her away
from the jewelers. shop, and her father
decided she had outgrown her childish
whim, as he regarded it. But his peace
of mind was short lived. One afternoon
his daughter walked into his place Of
business, took off her coat and an
nounced to her surprised parent that
she had resigned her position and had
come to study her fathers craft.
..All right, said Mr.. Frey. "but If
you are going TO become a matchmaker
you must begin at the beginning like q
boy apprentice and work your way
mp.
That plan suited the girl perfectly,
and straightway she set herself to study
ing the work Apparently she had in
herited ali her fathers skill, combined
with the deft touch Of a woman. The
small tools that boy would have bun
eled for months she soon learned 10
handle with skill and ease. No mechan-
ism was too delicate for her light I'm
gers and sharp eyes to straighten out,
and she quickly won her father s un
willing praise In short time he was
forced TO admit that his daughter had
learned all that he could teach her in
the matchmaker art.-Chicago Trib-
