the Navy Department to send vessels OF

whenever change was necessary to pre-.
serve the health of the crews. Admiral
Watson sent the Oregon and the New

The New Orleans arrived at Nagasakl
February 18th and the Oregon reached
Yokohama February 21st, almost three
weeks before Minister Conger had made
any report to the State Department on
the subject The dispatch of the Newark

Watson, was merely for the purpose OF
conveying to Manila the monitor A1onad-l

as safe to allow that type of warship to.
cruise alone in the open sea.
1t is said at the Navy Department that:
Admiral Watson will select a small

The Family Roast

Roast meat, although one of the COM
monest modes of dressing it, is by no
means an easy task. Roast meat Is
too often sent to the table nearly raw
or dried up till there is scarcely any
gravy in it. Now, good roasting con-
sists in dressing the joint thoroughly
and yet retaining its juice
The fire should be prepared some time
before the meat is out IN the oven: 1t
should be so good as not to require maxi
ing up while the joint is roasting. A
great deal of the success in roasting
will depend on the fire. The meat should
be basted from the first to shut in the
juices.
The fat Of lamb or veal should. be COW
cred with piece of paper tied on with
twine The meat should be basted very
frequently, for the more it is basted
the better 1T will taste. When nearly
done the paper may be removed and
the joint tightly dredged with flour in
order to give it a savory brown APP
Spearance, sometimes called frothing.
When ready to dish sprinkle lightly with
SALT.
The usual time for roasting is fifteen
minutes for each pound of meat Brown
meats, however. require less time than
white meats. When 1t IS dished the ia
which is left in the pan may be poured
into a basin previously dipped In cold
water. rs If removed the next day there
will be found beneath the fat a fine meat
Jelly for grayies OF soups. The cake
of fat should be melted and strained into
cold water, from which it can be re-
moved and kept for future use.-Phila-

QUESTIONS. OF PR0NOUNs.
A Knctty Problem Causes lndiana'ss
Solons Much Worry.

= Il
Judge McAIaster, of the Superior Court,
is wrestling with question of grammar
in connection with sheep case which
has been brought to his attention. IN
order to decide the caSe, the Court must
make IN, his mind what the author Of
a certain stature meant when he insert
ed the pronoun "his'' inthe section. Judge
sMGMaste1 heard the lawyers on either
side and anncrrced that he would think
over the matter. Both Court and law
yers realize that the problem is knotty
one to solve. 3;
George B.. Van Sickle, of Warren town
shit sent lot of sheep over to Law
renee township, and put them on pasture
While they were there dogs invaded the
flock, and killed several head. In all
twenty-six sheep were killed. Van Sickle.
on the advice Of his lawyer, filed a claim
with the Warren Township Trustee, ask
ing that the sheep be paid for out OF the
fund set apart for that purpose from the
dog tax OF the township. This claim
was filed under the statute that says that
the owner of the sheep, Killed by dogs
shall make report to the. trustee of his
township The Warren Township TEus-
tee declined to pay for these sheep, on the
ground that they were killed in Lawrence
township, and he held that the Trust tee OF
that township should make good the loss.
Van Sickle then brought suit In the SUI
perior Court against the Warren Town
ship Trustee Attorney Harlan filed a
demurrer for the Trustee, and the Court
heard some argument. Mr.. Harlan in
!ssts that the pronoun his" in the. stat
ute under discussion must be rejected.
He held that the man who wrote the
statute did not take into consideration
the fact that sheep belonging to one
township might be killed In another. The
Legislature could not be expected to
make a law Of this character tina would
cover every kind of case that might arise:
hence, the pronoun should be cut outSof
the statute, and the aTrustee of the town
shin where the sheep were killed should
be compelled to pay for ti1em.--lndian-
