HINTS ON CARVING.
Accomplishment Women DO Wen 70 40
ouire Nowadays.

Quire NOWADAYS.
In these revolutionary days wnen
women are usurping most or men
privileges and prerogatives, and are
having thrust upon them so many or
mems burdens, it Is eminently hitting
and proper that they should consider
seriously the question OF carving. Not
very many families dine in Russia
fashion from the sideboard with the
aid of a dignified butler. In most
households some one has to carve be-
fore the eyes Of the assembled diners,
and it behooves women that they
should be able to perform the little
rite with grace and skill. II they sue
coed in doing this they will do more
than their lords and masters have
often succeeded in doing. A good
knife of moderate size and great sharp
ness is necessity. The platter should
be placed near enough to the carver
to give her control of Ii. The roast
pieces, such as loins. breast, fore-quar-
tiers and the like, the butcher should
have been told to separate the joints
so that carving may not be impossible.
In carving beef, mutton. lamb and veal
thin, smooth neat slices are desira-
BILE. They should always oe cut across
the grain, taking care to pass the knife
through to the bones OF the meat In
carving leg of mutton the best slices
are obtained from tho center and the
next best from the broad end The
pieces from the part next the knuckle
are apt to be dry. a sirloin OF beef
yields its best slices from the end near
the tenderloin. II it Is cut through in
this part, the pieces must be fairly
thick; If long, thin slices are desired
1t should be cut across. In carving
chicken or turkey, place the head to
the right, cut off the wing nearest:
then the leg, and then the second
joint; then slice the breast until a
rounded piece appears. Insert the
knife between that and the bone and
separate them; that is considered the
best part OF the bird. Next comes the
'merry-thought." After this, turn over
the bird little, and just below the
breast will be found the oyster"
which can be separated as the inner
breast can be. The side bone lies be-
side the rump and the morsel can be
taken out without separating the whole
bone. Proceed in the same way with
the other side.-Kansas City Journal

Bad Spelling n Disease.

A medical authority claims that bad
spelling is caused by disease. In
certain conditions of brain and nerves
the patient frequently writes cot" in
stead of to" In another slightly
varying form, instead of "the," the
first letter is omitted, and so in many
other short words. The malady usual
ly affects the brain only In connection
with words Of one syllable, but cases
have occurred where longer words have
been SO distorted that it was difficult
to get their sense. 1t is a question
whether one would be comforted by be-
ing told that bad spelling was caused
by mental disease, or whether one
would prefer TO have this lack of ac-
curacy set down to ignorance or care
lessness. That Ii Is not always a proof
of defective education Is quite GER
tain.

A LEAKY RESERVOIR.
How the Heart OF the Disciple OF Ixaak

These gloomy days" said an old
citizen, recall a gloomy day when I
was a boy and went fishing in a famous
creek not far from my home 1t was
well stocked creek. There were bass
in IT and sinners as big as a mans
hand, and quite lot of whitefish that
would run pound or a pound and a
half, perhaps. | got out my tackle on
this particular gloomy day and went
down to the creek. 1t was a muggy
day and warm rain fell from time to
time in light showers. found my ia
vorite pool and set to work. BY
George! / never had such luck! 1t
seemed as IL those fish were waiting in
shoals to seize my hook. | yanked
them up as fast as I could bait my
hook and throw in, and they came out
so fast that / couldn't spare the time
to string them. | looked around. Some
eight or ten feet from the stream was
quite a good-sized round hole full of
water. A heavy rain the night before
had filled 1t up and it must have con-
tained couple of pals A happy
thought prompted me to toss my cap

and fshed until | was actually tired of
the sport, and then as T. came on to
rain harder thought would quit and
tote home the biggest catch OF the sea-
son. rolled up the line on the pole
and drew from my pocket the string
ing string. Then l went to my little
pool of captives and, by George. there
wasn't fish in it! No, sir; not one!
You see, it was muskrat's hole and
there was tunnel reaching from 1t to
the creek, and every fish caught had
wriggled through this opening back to
his native lair. There was no help for
1t. / stared at the hole and started
back at the creek and then as the rain
began to come down harder, I reluc-

vinced that she was hiding a great
sorrow. There were lines in the
classical forehead which showed that
the young woman was more worried
about those she had left behind than
she would tell even the sympathetic

The girl smiled anil said that she
would never forget him. The young
sergeant touched his cap and with
one last lingering glance he went his
way. He was so preoccupied on the
way that the soldiers with him ex.
changed sly winks and assumed ex-
pressions intended to be exceedingly
loye-lorn.
Sergeant Theodore Wilkins found
little time that night to think of the
fair senorita. The Spaniards adj
vanced and it took all the vigor of the
exhausted volunteers to hold them in
cheek. Yet even when the Mausers
filled the air with weird songs, there
came to Teddy Wilkins the vision of
a face framed in dark hair and the
sound of voice which was musical
and low.
Days of hard fighting followed, and
when it was ell over Sergeant Theo-
dore Wilkins went in search of her
