Saving rats.

There. are many fats that can be
used in cooking, All these should be
saved by themselves for culinary pur-
poses. Fresh pork fat should always
be saved, as it is as nice as lard for
frying. Mutton and lamb fat, how.
ever, is strong and of no culinary
value. Beef fat is valuable for fry
ing, but should be mixed when tried
out with about half it's bulk Of lard or
tried out chicken fat. A combination
OF various meat fats used in the
kitchen makes a better medium for
frying than pure lard, and is more
wholesome. Butter is the poorest fat
for frying. 1t cannot be successfully
used in deep frying, as dOughnuts and
croquettes are fried, because it burns
before it can be heated to the proper
temperature. Keep two separate
jars for cooking fats, one for coarse
fats, the other for fner Those jars
Of a half gallon size, with straight
sides like butter jars, are the best for
the purpose, For keeping soap fats q
lard pail Of the size that holds five
pounds when filed is the cheapest
aud most convenient to use. Try out
all the pieces of fat until only scraps
are left. Fry slice Of raw potato in
it to clarity it if the fat is used in
cooking, aud pour it into the jar in
which the general fat is kept. Save
chicken fat, which is delicate enough
to use in place Of olive oil for salad
dressing, in small jar by itself.
Turkey fat is too stroug to use in
cooking, but like lamb and mutton
fats, it should be tried out, but
strained into the soap fat. 1t pays to
keep this fat clean, and to strain it as
it is tried out from time to time. IT
is easy to keep a supply of soitsoap in
the house fr0m.this source, which will
be very valuable for house cleaning
and washing up greasy pots and ket-
ties, even il it is used for no other
purpose.

The University of Michigan Daily
calls the attention to the fact that
in 1890 in the literary department OF
the university there were 2 women
and AIS men; in 1880 the ratio was 81
to 967; in 1890, 281 to 725; in 1898,
5S8 to 745; in 1899, 673 women stu.
dents. These figures represent the
ratio in most Of the colleges in the
country. Since 1890 Stanford Uni
Versity has been opened, having now
over three hundred women students
and Chicago University, with almost
as many. 1t is estimated that there
are nearly fifty thousand women stu.
dents in the various colleges of the
United States, while in the high
schools the girls far outnumber the
boys.

The growth of the Boxer anti-for.
eign movement in China indicates
that up to the present time foreign
influence in China has done but little
to relieve the country Of its lawless
secret societies. These associations
are apparently maintaining their
power and welding an influence which
to the mind of the ordinary Caucasian
is inexplicable.

For a decade or two longer the

main in the fourth place in point of

The'burden of taxation in France
has become so heavy as to cause the
formation of Taxpayers League. s"
A petition prepared by this body
shows how grave the situation has
become. In 1874, when the expenses
of the war with Prussia had been liq
Cidated, the ordinary expenditure
was about $5OO,OOO,OOO. For the
coming year the budget is over $780,
900, 600, while there has been prac.
tically no growth in population. The
inc1 eased expenditure for this year is
nearly S12, 100000 The funded
debt amounts to $4,000, 900, ,OOO-
double that of Great Britain. The
annual charge of this debt in 1874
was about 5000, 600, 900; and, in spite
of conversions and reductions in in
terest, it is now nearly $50, 900, 900
more. There are some indications
that the wealth of the country, not
withstanding the parsimony of its
people, has ceased to grow. Foreign
trade shows signs of falling of, and
the deposits in the savings banks are
not maintained. Little surprise can
be felt bhat population should decline
under such oppressive conditions.

The Greatest Bicycle Town.

Denver, Col, enjoys the distinction
of having more bicycles in proportion
to population than any other city in
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 100000 souls within her
city limits, she boasts of not less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike thousands of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk of life Bicycles literally overrun
things and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost $1,000,000 annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact, one company went
into the hands of receiver two years
ago, alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired it's earning to such an
extent that it could not meet its inter-
est demands. The open weather and
fine natural roads are largely respon-
sible for the popularity Of the wheel,
as it is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for so weeks
ont of SO and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
of the non-rider in taking care or him.

said to be the only city in the country
where the bicycle vote controls cleo
