THE STOCK POT.
A Great Saving 20 the Household
Purse and a Source of GastrO-
nOmic Enjoyment.

No house, however small it may be,
"save all" of an establishment. There
is nothing in the shape of'meat that is
sweet and wholesome that may not 60
into the stock pot. For the benefit OF
the stock pot, you should not allow any
one to pick bone. If 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 a 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 off 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
go 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
go 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
a faucet. The top being not quite at the
bottom allows room for sediment, and
thus YOU can draw off the stock per-
fectly clear. 1t should be drawn off and
thoroughly cleared out about every 24
hours, when the bones and the like
should be removed. The saving in year
by means of the stock pot is something G
enormous.-Prairie Farmer.

THE PEOPLE INUNDATED.
Attitude of the Admin.
istratiOn in the Macrum
Affair,

With one exception the Boston
newspapers editorially pass over ex-
Consul Macrum's complaints with ex-
pressions that such action as is as
cribed to England is to be regretted
and that the state department should
take cognizance of the discourtesy.
The Traveller, independent democrat,
however, savagely assails the admins
tration, saying in part:
"Why is it that Mr.. Mckinley is
constantly humiliating the people of
the United States? We cannot believe
that he personally would do, or per-
NIT to be done, the humiliating acts
for which his administration must be
held responsible. He seems to be led
about by those whom he has associ-
ated with him in his cabinet and by
those who stood sponsor for him in
securing his election to the pres
idency. These men, both in and out
of his cabinet, are manifestly too
mighty for him to resist successfully,
and SO they compromise him at every
step of his administration, and the
melancholy part of it all is that when
they have entangled him with army
scandals, with trust scandals, with
imperialistic policies and with foreign
alliances he lacks the will power, the
backbone, the sterling courage to
stand for his own convictions and dis
claim the acts of his subordinates.
How long will the American people
endure these repeated humilia tions ?
The proposed Nicaragua treaty was
an eye-opener with relation to the
practical alliance of this country with
England.
"And now comes the latest, and per-
haps the most stinging, humiliation
of all, when we find that Mr.. Macrum,
our consul to Pretoria, has been
obliged to leave his post like a dog
with his tail between his legs because
of humiliations ana insults heaped
upon him by the bullying officials OF
England. How long are we to endure
such outrages as this? What has the
administration at Washington done
about it? Simply this, SO far as
known: 1t has compelled Mr.. Macrum
to stink away from his post of duty
simply because he could no longer en-
dure the insults heaped upon him,
and instead of waiting until he could
report in person at Washington ap-
pointed his successor in the person OF
a son of Secretary Hay, a mere boy
so far as experience in statecraft is
concerned, and of course as English
as his father. whose toadyism to Eng
land in connection with the Nicara-
qua treaty has disgusted this entire
nation, irrespective of party.
"Is this the country of Washington,
of Jackson, of Lincoln? The people
demand that the congress shall probe
this matter of an understood alliance
with England to the bottom. We
want no entangling alliances, either
formed or understood, with England
or any other foreign power"

ON GONE RUN" FOR IS YEARS.
The Remarkable Record of an Engi-
neer Who Has Never Hurt
Passenger.

1t takes an all-around man to be a
good locomotive engineer. No calling
or profession requires clearer brain,
stouter heart and a steadier nerve,
says Leslie's Weekly. That Mr.. William
H. Gordon, of East Milestone, n. j.,
possesses these qualities in an eminent
degree is evident from the fact that he
has been in continuous and uninter.
rupted service as railroad engineer for
54 years.
More remarkable still is the fact that
Al of these years have been spent on
what is known in railway pariance as
lone rum" that between Jersey City
and East Millstone Mr.. Gordon began
his railway life in May, 1s45, as a fire
man on the Camden & Amboy road. A
year later he became the engineer of
the famous Johnny Bull'' on this line,
where he remained until 1547. In 1855
he came to his present post of dnty,
and has been there ever since.
In all these years he has never had
serious accident and has never hurt a
passenger. Mr.. Gordon recently cele-
brated his 18th birthday, when he re-
ceived the greetings of many friends
and well-wishers. Except when he
reads very fine print he is not obliged
to wear glasses, and his hand at the
throttle is as firm and steady as ever.

Could Change His Mind.

Prof. Hendershott is well known in Pitts.
burgh as a man of affable temper, and it is
rare that he shows even impatience. One
day while travelling on a suburban trolley
ductor to transfer him to the city street
cars at certain point. Soon afterward the
car stopped and he was surprised to see out
side the very friend he was seeking. He
started to leave the car, when the conductor
accosted him. ''You can't change for your
fessor passed him, taking no notice. Cant
change cars here, tell you," snapped the
conductor again. The professor, deep in
conversation with his friend, merely waved
his hand to signify that the car might go
on without him. Here" cried the man
in brass buttons, angrily, don't tell you
that you can't change cars at this placer"
Then the good old professor answered with
severity: But / can change my mind at
this station, can't I?"-Golden DAYS.

PRESS COMMENTS,

When the administration soph-
lists and grabbers shall have shown
that the constitution does not affect
any new territory acquired by the
United States, they will have less
difficulty in showing that it does not
apply to any American territory
whatever.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
-Anti-trust leagues hold confer
ences, listen to able speeches and adopt
resolutions declaring trusts, combines
and monopolies ''must CO." But the
republican congress continues to bind
tighter around the people the chains
of high protection, which fosters and
supports many trusts. = Nashville

On the whole Secretary Hay
should resign. He is an unfit person

Ohio appointees and Ohio advis-
ers have made lots of trouble for
President Mckinley. Once upon
time a prominent republican leader
said he could then and there write
the epitaph of the republican party,

would be needed: "Here is inferred
the republican party. Died OF too
much Ohio."-Boston Traveller
-Grosvenor is McKinley's closest
friend among the congressman, just

Judging Mckinley by the company he
keeps. all wonder is removed that he
has shamelessly and deliberately vio-
lated his solemn pledges to uphold
and extend the civil service reform

Courage.

Courage and good circulation are
practically synonymous terms, and
no man whose heart is not firmly
kept under control can go down stairs
in the dark to find a hidden burglar.
In times of danger or of emergency.
the strong-hearted individual, with a
normal pulse rate of ~ beats to
the minute, is unconscious of the
drop of even Is beats per minute, and
calmly does his duty. But how fares
the luckless man whose heart is ir-
ritable, or whose normal beat is 55?
The loss of Is beats means absolute
Prostration, whilst if his heart be
easily excited it may be working 12O
to the minute, without any power on
his part to check it. Either case
means covering down among the bed
clothes, oblivious of duty.-Cincinnat

TALK WITH THE HELIOGRAPH.
How the System OF Signaling Em-
PIOyed in South Africa
Is Operated.

Heliographing is ''sun writing" BY
the use of the heliograph the suns
rays are flashed over long distances.
The letters of the Morse telegraphic
code are used and communication is
comparatively easy on bright days
The instrument that is now used to
transmit heliograph messages is ex-
ceedingly simple. 1t consists of tri-
pod carrying a horizontal rod at the
top. On this rod is a mirror on one
end, and on the other small upright
rod with a. movable button. This mir
ror is usually Az inches in diameter,
and is so arranged that it can be ro-
tated both on a horizontal and on a
vertical axis. In the middle is a small
unsilvered spot. The mirror is sighted
by means of this unsilvered spot and
the button on the rod in front, exactly
as a rifle would be aimed. If the but
ton is raised so as to cover the desti-
nation on the message, which can be
found by compass if it cannot be seen,
and the shadow thrown by the unsil-
vered spot in the middle of the refiec-
tion covers the button, the instrument
is in position.
There is a contrivance by which the
shutter is operated, opening and clos
ing over the mirror by means of a
key, which is pressed like the key of
a telegraph instrument. A long flash
stands for dash, a short one for dot
in the Morse system. The greatest
distance ever overcome by the hello
graph was that operated over by the
United States signal corps between
Mount Uncompahgre, in Colorado, and
Mount Ellen, in Utah. This was 1Si
miles. The flashes came and went as
regularly as though the distance had
been much shorter. - indianapolis

ODD WATERWORKS THESE.
Divers I'm the Persian Gulf Who Pros
cure Fresh Water from the
Sea Bottom

What is believed to be the hottest re-
gion in the world is that part of the
eastern shore of the Persian gulf which
is named after the Bahrien islands that
lie near it. On the Bahrien island
proper, which is the largest of the
group, the thermometer never falls be-
low 100 degrees day or night, and often
rises as high as 140 degrees in the shade.
Only the natives can bear this enormous
heat at ali, and even they suffer terri
bly, at times because the fierceness of
the temperature varies so little and
gives them hardly respite.
To add to the decided discomforts of
the region, the coast is so dry that bor-
ings have been made as deep as 1000
feet without striking water. There is
not drop to be had except far in the
interior, and the condition of water
carried for any distance in such heat
as this may be imagined. Yet the ma
tives never lack for water that is not
merely fresh, but actually cool. And
they get it in a way that is wonderful.
They get it by diving into the sea for it.
Many years ago pearl divers, who
dived into the waters on the shores of
these islands for pearls, which are plen-
tiful there, discovered that immense
springs spouted from the bottom of the
sea. Accidentally, they found that
these springs were of sweet water.
Ever since then a regular industry, per-
haps one of the strangest industries in
the world. has been that of diving for
fresh water
The divers go out every morning.
They take with them goat skins, and
weighted with stones to insure a swift
descent, they plunge into the depths.
At the bottom they hold the mouths of
the skins over a spring, and as soon as
it is filled tie it up swiftly and ascend.
The skins are hauled up with lines.
AS there are $4,000 persons in that
barren group, the industry of diving
for fresh water is large one, and the
divers get rich. The water is about 20
degrees cooler than is the atmosphere
on land, so it is boon to the suffering
population, and the lucky divers who
get to land first are certain of high
prices. In fact, the fresher the water is
the more the diver earns, and as the
submarine springs are only a mile away
from shore the water hardly gets time
to lose any of its grateful temperature
before it is landed-if one can say that
water is ''landed."-N. Y. Press.

Took Him Down.

A former commodore-captain of famous
transatlantic line, while friendly and polite
to his passengers when below, was very
much the reverse if approached when on
duty. As he happened to be on deck one
fine afternoon, lady, quite unaware of this
popularity, accosting him with some trifing
query as to the probable duration of the
favorable weather, was both surprised and
indignant to get curtly answered:
Don't know, ma 'am-don't know. Better
go and ask the cook"

was quite equal to the occasion, and re-

Frost Flowers.

The phenomenon called frost flow
ers" was discussed before the Biolog-
icai society in Washington recently by
DIR. l.. II. Dewey. The so-called flow
ers are composed of ice which forms
on frosty mornings in autumn and
early winter on certain plants. The
peculiar thing to be explained is that
frost flowers do not form on all plants,
but only on about &c species. as far as
yet known. Among these are frost
weed, dittany.- marsh feabanes and
cultivated heliotrope. The phenome-
non is apparently due to capillary
movement of water in the plant, but
a. wholly satisfactory explanation is
lacking-Youth's Companion.

you ought not to resurrect this ques-
ton. want to tell you that the Amer
lean people never adopted the gold
standard. 1 hear people talk about a
wonderful victory for the gold stand
ard in 1896. Why, have you read the
history of that campaign? Six mil
lion five hundred Thousand voters voted
for independent bimetallism at Ne
ratio of sixteen to one, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other ma
ton, and 100000 voted for a ticket
pledged to international bimetalism;
12,50O,OOO voted for the double stand
ard as against the gold standard. ard
only $4,000 supported the only ticket
that ever stood for a gold standard in
the United States. l want you to know
that the only party that ever went be-
fore this nation with a gold standard
platform sprang into existence Just be-
fore the election and sprang out of
existence Immediately afterwards.-W.

WILLIAM THE SHIFTY.
Double Dealing of the Chief Execu-
tive In His Treatment of cues
tiOns of State.

When a man plants himself square
ly on both sides of any question the
impression left on the popular mind
is that he has cbliterated himself as
a factor in the discussion, and this has
clearly happened in the case of the
president and the Porto Rico tariff
question.
Mr.. Mckinley began by saying in
congress in December that it was "a
plain duty" to remove all tariff re-
strictions on trade between Porto
Rico and the rest of the United States.
He gives to some of those who talk
with him the impression that he IS
still of the same opinion. But it is
known that privately he is telling the
republican congressman that they had
better pass the ways and means com
mittee's bill providing for tariff on
imports from Porto Rico. We do not,
of course, suppose that Mr.. Mchln'
ley expected when he put in the rec
ommendation for free trade in his
message in December that he would
be urging congressman to MAINTAIN
tariff against Porto Rico in February.
The final result of such stiffness IN
the white house is that on this ques-
tion the presidents power over legls-
lation established by the constitution
becomes nullity. The president con-
forms to the constitution in telling
the congress what he thinks ought to
be done, but at the same time tells
congressman privately that he Will Dc
just as well suited if they do the
opposite thing and that whatever they
may do will meet his approval.-Hart
