SCOPE AND PURPOSE.

The scope and purposes of the pro-
visions for maintaining the standard
by the sale of bonds sand the exchange
of money are thus set forth by Mr..
Overstreet:
I'm the absence of n law providing
protection to the gold reserve, it is
always subject TO encroachment in
expenditures to meet the general ex-
pcnscs OF the Government. Whenever
such encroachment appears probable,
q fear has arisen that the Govern
ment may not be able to meet Its de-
mand obligations, and run upon the
reserve for the redemption of the de-
mand notes has followed. This stu
alton Is responsible for the so-called
endless chain" BY separating the
reserve fund from the general fund,
and prohibiting It's use except for re-
demption of United States notes and
Treasury notes. the dangers to which
1t has been so greatly subjected will
be removed. These demand notes are
being redeemed in gold now, and al

A BREAST OF VEAL.
This Article Tells Exactly How 1t
Should BE Prepared and How
to Stuff and Roast 1t.

In the spring, when lamb and veal
are in season, they are not only the
cheapest but the most wholesome of
flesh food. Heavy beef and mutton,
which are in prime condition for food
in cold weather, when they can be hung
until they are tender, begin to pail
upon the appetite in spring. A lighter
and more easily digested meat is de-
manded. Veal comes first into season
to meet this demand, and young lamb a
little later. The acid vegetables, fruits
and sauces for meats which are so ap-
petizing at this season are demanded
when these easily digested young
meats are served. Thus the convention
al diet of the spring months, and the
one which is the easiest to procure, may
be readily proved to be the most whole
some for the season.
The breast of veal is the cheapest por-
ton of the animal. The large proper
ton of the bones are in a semihardened
state, when they can be softened by
cooking. The hard bones of the breast

Making Sweet Soap Grease.

In many farmhouses all the scraps of
fat, cooked and uncooked, are thrown
together in large tub or kettle, where,
exposed to air, it quickly becomes ex-
ceedingly offensive to the senses. One
wonders how it can be that such stink
ing grease can be changed into good
cleansing soap. Bat it is said the eXpla
nation is that the thorough boiling
which the grease receives with the lye
destroys all the offensive germs. But it
only does this after much of the value
of the grease has been destroyed. Get
a cake of potash and make strong lye
of it. Throw this over the grease and
fat. entirely covering it. The grease
will be partly turned into soap by this
and will keep sweet without any waste.

SECRFT OF HAPPINESS.
1t Consists In the Acceptance of the
Talent and the Tasks God
Has Appointed.

"Happiness comes through quiet ac-
ceptance of the talent, temperament
and task that God hath appointed. I'm
able to add one cubit to the stature, or
make one hair white or black, man is
also impotent to alter his birth-gifts." :"
writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, on
THE Secrets of a Happy Life" in the
Ladies' Home journal. Through
heredity our fathers chose the life work
for us, and try as we may we cannot
alter their choice, though we can break
our hearts. To-day one part of society
is making itself miserable through an
overestimate of great deeds and an ag-
oni1ing desire to do striking things.
Yet struggling and agonizing never did
anything worth while. The first sign
of a great piece of work is the ease and
swiftness with which it was done by
him appointed for the task. Another
part of society destroys happiness by
Understanding small deeds and du-
ties. Gods mountains are not made out
of huge chunks of granite, but out of
minute flakes of mica. Size has nothing
to do with the valued work, and man
cannot be happy until he surrenders his
will and cheerfully accepts the one tall
ent, or two, or ten, counting it honor
enough to do his appointed work more
perfectly than any other can possibly
do it. We do not need great and splen-
did things, but that common things
shall be lifted up and illuminated by a
quiet and beautiful spirit. One of the
secrets of happiness is found in the ha-
bitual emphasis of pleasant things and
the persistent casting aside of all ma
lign elements"

Machine Versus Hand Labor,

A discriminating writer persistently
says that well-equipped farmers who
have lands adapted to potato growing
will grow them by the hundred acres
and with profit, even though prices
should be low, while those who cannot
afford to own an outfit of machinery
will quit raising them for market. The
man who plants and harvests by hand
labor cannot compete in raising for the
market with the one who plants and
harvests with machines any more than
the wheat grower who sows by hand
and harvests with cradle can compete
with the grower who runs feeder and
q self-binder.

Pretty Window Hangings.

White muslin curtains for windows
will be much used this year in summer
houses. The frilled border is out of
fashion and an embroidered open-work
edge is in vogue. That this launders
more easily than the frilIed edge may
be one secret of its popularity. These
curtains with the fiat open-work bor-
der and an embroidered design scat
tered over the surface may be bought
for very small sum. The new dotted
Swiss curtains with a scalloped edge
are extremely dainty and pretty for
summer draperies. The dot is large
enough to be conspicuous.

Evidence of Indigestion.

Coldness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of indigestion.
The coldness is due notco the weakness
of the heart or feebleness of circulation,
as is generally supposed, but to the
contraction of the small arteries, pre-
venting blood from entering the parts.
There is generally an irritation of the
abdominal sympathetic nerve centers
which control the circulation of the
lower extremities. This difficulty is not
to be removed by exercise or by any spe-
cial application to the limbs, but by re-
moval of the causes of irritation. This
may be prolapsed stomach or chronic
Indigestion. Hot and cold footbaths
are valuable. These act not simply
on the feet and limbs, but by reflex
action affect beneficially the abdominal
sympathetic centers, which are in
diseased condition.

breast that has been freed from hard
bones, leaving those that are soft and
flexible. 1t should weigh about 2h
pounds when prepared. Dredge about
a tablespoonful of salt and an even tea
spoonful of pepper. Stuff it with we'll
seasoned veal stutfing. Roll it up and
tie it into shape. Lay it in any fiat-bot-
toned shallow saucepan, with cover
that has no solder about it.
The saucepan must be large enough
to hold a gallon, and should be at least
nine inches across the top, in order to
be broad enough. Rub the roll of veal
with butter, dredge it with flour, slice
an onion over it and carrot. Put a
pint of rich brown gravy or stock over
it, cover it and set it in hot oven to
braise. Baste it every Is minutes. As
the stock boils down add boiling water
to thin it, and continue the cooking in
thisway until the meat has been braised
for at least two hours, or until it is a
very rich brown in color and perfectly
done.

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.
Some Authentic Figures from Which
American Farmers Can Draw
Valuable Lesson.

Some figures taken from a sugar
trade journal and republished by the
St. Louis Republic show what an as
tonishingly large quantity of sugar the
German beet farmers managed to
raise on a comparatively small quanti-
ty of land during the crop year of 1897
9S. In this crop year there were l ,O80,-
sugar beets. The beets worked
amounted to 1857, ,S91 tons. In the Of
fetal table the average yield is set
down at 1922 tons per acre. Some de-
ductions are evidently made, for the
average really figures out 12.6S tons per
acre. Based on raw sugar, the sugar
production is given as 1,S44, ,399 tons.
This would make the yield average
3,763 pounds to the acre. These figures,
If the prevailing conditions of sugar
making in the United States could be
relied on as permanent, would hold out
promise of profit to American ag-
riculturists. According to present in
formation the sugar manufactures in
the United States pay $4 to $3.50 per
ton for sugar beets. Placing the beet
yield at 1929 tons per acre and esti-
mating the prices according to the
standard quoted, between $40 and $55
would be realized for the sugar beets
produced upon an acN of land. This is
more than four times as much as the
average valee per acre for wheat they
raised in 1907 when they had an nm
usually good demand and a favorable
acre obtained by American farmers for
the market fo- its sale.

dots and showing a striped silk bor-
der in china blue, sage green or old
rose. The silk border is also in Roman
colors. Another new portiere, some

broidered in tinsel. For library this
is very effective in wood brown with
