The Normons first sent missionaries to these islands in 1850,
shortly after their location in Utah. The first missionary

THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE.
Her Love of Home, Says an 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 to
worship, and the greatest compliment
that can be paid to her is to 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 we'll
swept and tidy, the humble furniture
carefully busted and polished. This de-
sire for cleanliness, in fact, almost
amounts to craze, and housewives
and servants alike evince strong par
TALLY for scrubbing, cleaning and
washing. Even in well-to-do families
domestic training is considered a 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, cheerfully, and as
matter of course, and it is due to this
excellent training in her girlhood that
the Dutch woman makes so model 4
housewife. We might go further and
say that it is through this training
that the Dutch girl has earned the rep
utation of being Stree and light of
heart, and stranger to the feeling of
ennui," since she is always healthful-
ly and helpfully employ ed.-The Girls

Under certain conditions the dead
are undoubtedly more fortunate than
the living. 70 rest beneath the sod
is better than to live and suffer.
Upon the eastern bank of the Poto-
mac river is the hospital for the insane,
called st. Elizabeth's. On the western
bank of the Potomac is Arlington Ma
tional cemetery. In the hospital hui
man beings live, all of them suffering
with mental disorders, and many of
them suffering continual physical
pain. In the cemetery upwards of co.
600 soldiers are buried, resting peace
fully and forever on flames eternal
camping ground, the bivouac of the
dead"
st. Elizabeth's hospital for the in
sane is visible for many miles up and
down the Potomac. Travellers on in
coming and outgoing steamers view it
with their magnifying glasses, and
learn from guides the history of the
institution. Externally it appears to
be very attractive place. The build
ings are of brown stone, similar to the
material used in the construction of the
Smithsonian institution. Stone walls
~ feet high surround the vast acreage,
SO that escape is practically impossible.
The hills on either bank of the Po-
tomac river, near it's head waters, are
high enough to be almost called noun
tains; and their undulations with val
leys and foothills produce picturesque
effects which are comparable only with
the beauties of the natural scenery
along the Mississippi river, from Prairie
du Chen to Minneapolis. By the way,
just as the falls of St. Anthony mark
the end of navigation of the Mississip-
pi river, so the great falls mark the end
of navigation of the Potomac river.
The falls which furnish so much valu-
able power to Minneapolis are rivaled

be found around Manila. Men with the
means needed for the proper develop
ment of the islands found Spain hard

der the conditions which the mother
country demanded. AS for the natives,
they are but little if any better than AT.
rican savages to great extent. In
many of the islands they are living i'll

that existed at the time of the discovery
of the islands Those of Luzon and a
few other places have progressed to a
certain extent, and some of them ar,
bright, intelligent men and women, but
the large majority are not. The trop-
zeal forests afford them all that they
find necessary for their mode of life,
and the natural resources have been,
and will continue to be, neglected until
higher state of civilization steps in
and develops them.
Still another industry that awaits de-
velopment is that offered by the vast
forests of valuable timber. Dean C..
Worcester says that in the island of
Mindora alone he found 1O6 different
kinds of wood, four of which were so
heavy they would sink in water. OF
the hard woods there are more than so
varieties, many of which are of the most
valuable kinds. For shipbuilding and
house construction some of these woods
cannot be excelled, while others Of
them are capable of taking beautiful
polish, and so would be valuable for
furniture and decorative purposes
Among these woods ebony is noticed in
large quantities.
The natives have never realized the

SELECTION OF MEAT.
Cuts of Beef That Are known aa
Prime and Otherwise. anu 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 40
pounds each There is, on an average,
IT'S pounds of choice beef in each we'll
regulated steer, but some butchers
lave 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 missioner" from
the fact that>it sells at a lower price.
A large percentage of the most nutri-
tious meat is found in the coarser cuts,
but nearly everyone demants part of
the rs 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
it, but nevertheless it is a 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 savory and just as tender as
the tenderioin, which cut the butcher
seldom eats. The flank steak is situ-
ated between the inside and outside
layers of the creamy-colored fat in the
flank, and when taken from well-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 shout
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
