TO KNOW GOOD MEAT.
How Choice Cuts May BE Recognized
by the inexperienced
Buyer.

Let us imagine ourselves before q
butchers block having on 1t four pieces
of beef presenting faces from the round
or sirloin. One is dull red, the lean
being close-grained and the fat very
white; the next is dark red, the lean
loose-grained and sinewy and the fat
white and shining; the third is dull
red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy
and the fat yellow; the fourth is
bright cherry-red, the lean smooth and
medium-grained, with fecks of white
through it, and the fat creamy-neith-
err white nor yellow. The first of these,
says Ella Morris Kretschmar, in Wom-
ans Home Companion, is cow-beef; the
second, bun-beef; the third, beef from
an old or Unconditional animal, and
the last is ox-beef. Ox-beef-that from
steer-is the juiciest, finest favored,
sweetest and most economical to buy
of all beef. 1t is called ''prime" when
the lean is very much notified with the
white fat-fecks, and when it is from
a heavy, young animal (about four
years old) stabilized on corn. Beef from
q young cow that has been well fed
and fattened is next in merit to OK
beef. Beef from an unmatured animal
is never satisfactory, being tough and
juiceless. 1t may be easily recognized,
as its color is pale and it's bones small.

CRADLES THAT ARE COSTLY.
The Child OF wealthy Parents May
Lie IN One Costing $500
and Upward.

The woman that rules the world to-
day through the medium of the cradle
has pretty expensive undertaking on
her hands, for cradles do cost so much
money-that is, some cradles do. This
years baby is financial monarch, in
deed. He can cuddle down in beauti-
full downy nest built on a foundation of
rare woods carved in exquisite design
and laden with precious stones. He can
dig his pink toes into rich silks THAT
cost any number of dollars yard, and
wipe his pudgy nose on linens that are
equally expensive. And by the time he
has done all this and wriggled his fin
gers through any quantities of soft
laees he will have instituted himself
sole owner of cradle that cost his in-
dulgent parents $500 and upward, says
the New York Sun.
A cradle of this description is certain
ly thing of beauty, and it ought to be
Joy forever. The effect of such Gre
alton upon the primitive man who
swung his progeny in q bed of boug'hs
or wooden box set ON rockers is diff
cult to contemplate. Even kings and
queens of past ages would stand in awe
of it. In old illuminated manuscript
there are illustrations of cradles where's
in princes of royal blood lay them down
to rest, and some of these beds of aris-
tocratic infants are still preserved for
the edification of later generations.
But the 1900 baby could turn with dis
dadn from every one of these cradles
and seek his own modern couch with
pride and Thanksgiving.
These really expensive cradles are not
kept in stock by furniture dealers.
They are made to order by expert cab
inetmakers, and the furnishings are Sc
lected from the choicest importations.
The excessive cost of some cradles"
said Broadway furniture dealer, "lies
largely in the amount of labor expend-
ed on the carving, which is most elab-
crate. In no article of furniture that
we turn out is more delicate workman-
ship required than In a cradle. Often
the work alone on one of these little
beds costs $2o0 to $500. Then, when
you have quadrupled this one item with
the value of the material and bedding,
you have cradle whose elegance ought
to make any baby feel on good terms
with the whole world"
"But what about cheap cradles?o
asked the visitor. "There certainly
must be cheap ones. Every baby who
is squirming through this end of the
century cannot afford to snooze in q
$500 couch"
"0h, yes" assented the dealer, "they
come cheap, lots of 'em, but we don't
handle them. The lowest priced cradle
we carry costs $25. But you can get
one for one dollar. Compared with
these fancy affairs dollar cradle looks
about like 80 cents, but no doubt the
poor baby rests just as comfortably as
the more fortunate youngster.'

An Easily Made Quilt.

A silk quilt that has one advantage
over all others, is that it is entirely
finished when the blocks are joined.
Each block is composed Of four fiye-
inch squares of silk, two light and two
dark. Fold each square into three
cornered piece, put in o piece of wool
wadding trifie smaller than the silk,
turn in the edges of the silk and over
east them together. After each piece
is finished in this way, overcast the four
together to form a square. This makes
one block, and you see that it is wadded
and lined. When there are enough
blocks to make the size of the quilt de-
sired, overcast them together and the
quilt is finished. The wrong side will
look almost as well as the right side.
In putting the blocks together, notice
the light and dark parts so as TO ar.
range them artistically. A slumber
robe Is very handsome made after this
fashion.-Housekeep
