BUSINESS TRAINING.
Il II Essential 10 the Completeness
of q Girls H0me Ed.
ueati0n.

Because q girls father happens to be
we'll of financially il NO reason why
she should not have business train
ing. Besides being allowed certain
amount for her clothing, she should be
allowed to have share or more in some
corporation in which her father owns
stock, and she should be allowed to
manage the stock herself, not through
a lawyer. A business man would do
well to give his daughter small inter-
est in his business-let it be ever so
small-so that she will set her mind to
working as to how it can be improved.
Parents who have real estate would be
wise to give their daughter the title to
house and let her manage it herself
collect the rental. bargain for repairs,
etc.-always with her parents consent,
Of course. Such girl will make bet
ter wife when she marries, knowing
how to counsel her husband at critical
times; again, she will make . better
mother, In that she can begin her sons
business training almost from their in
fancy; and, in the third place, she is
prepared in case she should happen to
be thrown upon her own resources

THE STOCK POT.


No house, however small it may be,
should be without stock pot; it is the
''saye all" of an establishment. There
is nothing in the shape Of meat that is
sweet and wholesome that may not go
into the stock pot. For the benefit of
the stock pot, you should not allow any
one to pick bone. II you send joint
Of cold meat into the kitchen for the
servants dinner never allow them to
pick the bone, for the stock pot requires
it, and will extract abundant nourish-
ment from it.
In trimming joint Of cold meat for
the table, put the trimmings into the
stock pot; they tend to clear the stock.
Hard crusts of dry bread may be put
in; they gather the scum which should
be taken OF three or four times in day.
Ham, beef, veal, mutton, lamb, pork.
bits Of poultry, game, In fact the bones
or remains of any kind of meat should
20 into the stock pot. Cold carrots and
parsnips or the remains Of onion sauce
or gravy, the outside stems of celery,
thoroughly cleaned and cut up. should
70 into the stock pot. In this you have
the ground work Of almost all kinds of
gravies and soups.
The stock pot should be made with
faucet. The top being not quite at the
bottom allows room for sediment, and
thus you can draw on the stock per-
fectly clear. 1t should be drawn on and
thoroughly cleared out about every "a
hours, when the bones and the like
should be removed. The saving in year
by means Of the stock pot il something
