SELECTION OF MEAT. 1.
Cuts of Reef That Are known as
Prime and Otherwise. and Their
Peculiar Values.

The prime steer used for beef pur-
poses weighs about 700 pounds dressed
OF this amount there are in the carcass
two sets of first quality ribs, consist
ing of seven ribs in each set and weigh
ing about 40 pounds per set. There are
also two loins weighing about AZ
pounds each. There is, on an average.
175 pounds of choice beef in each we'll
regulated steer, but some butchers
have been known to sell porterhouse
from a carcass after everything was
gone but the horns. The remainder of
the beef. after the choicest has been cut
away, is called the "misnomer,' from
the fact that ii sells at lower price.
A large percentage of the most nutri-
tious meat is found in the coarser cuts,
but nearly everyone demants part of
the IT'S pounds, which is false idea of
domestic economy as well as judgment.
Practical experience has shown that
the utilization of the chucks, the best
part of the round, the chump, flank the
plate, and brisket gives the best re-
suits and is conducive of better health
than the higher-priced meats. Such
parts need more attention while cook
ing however, yet the many tempting
dishes that may be made from them
more than repay for all extra trouble.
The average housewife may not know
1t, but nevertheless it is fact that
butchers who are daily and hourly
handling all kinds of cuts of beef al
most invariably choose for their own
consumption flank steak. They say it
is more sayory and just as tender as
the tenderloin, which cut the butcher
seldom eats. The flank steak is stu
ated between the inside and outside
layers of the creamy-colored fat in the
flank, and when taken from weI-fed
stock is excellent. 1t costs at the mar
ket but half as much as porterhouse or
sirloin.
An old butcher once told me that the
best piece of meat in the bullock for
making a dish of boiled beef is the
close-grained top piece over the shoul'
der blade.
Meat adhering to the ribs makes
much more satisfactory steak than the
so-called sirloin and costs but little.
This piece may be larded and served as
is filet de bouef. 1t is also quite accept
able as Mignon steak. - Chicago Inter

THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE.
Her Love of Home, Says English
Writer, Comes Very Near Akin
to Worship.

The Dutch woman is before and above
all things housewife. Indeed, her
love of home comes very near akin 20
worship, and the greatest compliment
that can be paid to her is 10 praise the
neatness and sweetness of the house
that is her kingdom. She is famous all
the world over for her remarkable
cleanliness, and even in the very poor
quarters of the cities, where the houses
are small and crowded together, the
windows are daintily decked with cur
tains of spotless white. the rooms well
swept and tidy, the humble furniture
carefully busted and polished. This de-
sire for cleanliness, in fact, almost
amounts TO a craze, and housewives
and servants alike evince strong par
tiality for scrubbing, cleaning and
washing. Even in well-to-do families
a domestic training is considered nat
ural and necessary adjunct to the
daughters education, and each has GER
tain household duties apportioned to
her. She is likewise taught to make her
own dresses, to knit her own stockings,
and TO keep her wardrobe in repair.
Nor does she shirk these duties as it is
to be feared so many of her English sis.
ters do; on the contrary, they are car
ried out faithfully, cheerfulIy, and as
a matter of course, and it is due to this
excellent training in her grlhood that
the Dutch woman makes so model a
housewife. We might go further and
say that it is through this training
that the Dutch girl has earned the rep
utation Of being free and light OF
heart, and a stranger to the feeling Of
ennui," since she is always healthful.

AUTOGRAPH FIENDS.
Devices to Which They VIII Resort
to Secure the Signature of a
Reigning Celebrity.

Every time we have a celebrity with
US, said the chief clerk at one of the lead
ing hotels, Il am certain to be deluged with
autograph albums. They are left by people
who calmly request me to waylay the nota-
be and get his or her signature, preceded
II possible by some neat and appropriate
sentiment, verse preferred. 1t would be a
pretty ticklish task if it were not for the
fact that the celebrities themselves are
broken in to that sort of thing and have
ceased to regard it with any surprise. As a
rule, no explanation is necessary and all |
have to do is to hand over the little books.
The autograph hunters are particularly keen
alter theatrical stars, and there is one we'll
known manager who derives a good deal of
amusement in acting as proxy. Last time
he was here he was with an eminent actress
and | had been intrusted with no less than
dozen autograph albums. | received
specific lnjunctions from the owner of each
to get something Characteristic and |
turned the bunch over to my managerial
friend. Here's where | make a hitn he
exclaimed enthusiastically, and, grabbing a
pen, proceeded to lnscrlbe an enigmatlcal
sentiment OF his own manufacture in
every volume. i remember one, which ran
ike this: Is not the expression of emotion
merely the emotion of expression? Truly
equally incoherent, but somehow they had
a wise sound and the autograph chasers
were perfectly delighted so Deep so
thoughtful were the comments they made
as they studied the gibberish after the books
were returned, and | am willing to bet they
are still wrestling with the inner meG 4ing
of their prizes. The star herself has the
reputation of being quite a student, and if
she knew of the little joke that was per
petrated in her name | am inclined to be
lieve she would get after her manager with

GIRLS PARTY DRESS.
An Airy Creation with Which to De-
light the Heart of the school
Maiden.

The thing that delights child most
is a party. This is specially true of
girls, for even though they are young,
their minds turn with natural feminin-
ity toward a pretty dress at sound of
the word party.
In touring the shops and places of
business of leading modistes, your cor
respondent was pleased to notice that
very little silk is employed in the
construction of children's dresses this
year. In lieu of silk there are pretty
lawns thin organdies and dainty mulls

which are sewed on by hand as often
machine stitching makes the velvet
draw.
In this case the little Empire gown
is made of figured challie. The skirt
has no lining and the sleeves are full
from the shoulder to the elbow where
they are gathered upon a deep band of
velvet or silk.
The hat to wear with this little dress
is a rough straw of bright hue with
very broad brim and fiat crown, which
is almost entirely concealed behind an
immense bow of ribbon.
Dark figured ducks, ginghams and
piques are highly recommended for
the making of children's dresses. Lin
en- is also good, but it is so expensive
that the woman with several little
bodies to clothe seldom feels that she
can afford to supply each one with
gown of the heavy brown goods.

combined with soft laces and ribbons
with delightful effect.
One of the daintiest dresses seen
was made of soft white null, over a
lining of coarse lawn. The dress was
made in Empire fashion with low,
square neck and short sleeves. Around
the foot of the skirt were three tiny
rufIles of null trimmed with valen-
ciennes lace and above the rutfies were
rows of white satin ribbon.
The neck was finished with ruffies of
null and there were ruffles covering
the sleeves. White satin slippers and
silk stockings went with the little
dress.
The hat has a brim of black chiffon
bordered with frills of null and lace.
1t was trimmed with tall, waving
white ostrich plumes. This makes an
indescribably dainty party toilette for
girl OF 12 years or under.
