should be basted from the first to shut
in the juices. The fat of lamb or veal
should be covered with a piece of pa
per tied on with Irvine. The meat
should be basted very frequently for
the more it is basted the better it will
taste. When nearly done the paper
may be removed and the joint lightly
dredged with flour in order to give it
savory brown appearance, some
tires called frothlng. When ready to
dish sprinkle lightly with salt. The
usual time for roasting is fifteen min
utes for each pound of meat. Brown
meats, however. require less time than
white meats. When it is dished the
fat which is left in the pan may be
poured into a basin previously dipped
in cold water. If removed the next day
there will be found beneath the fat
a fine meat jelly for gravles or soups.
The cake of fat should be melted and
strained into cold water. from which
it can be removed and kept for future
use.

As A LAWYER HE HAD FEW
SUPERIORS.
Was n Keen Politician of the Higher
Order and n Gifted writer-Aiso
Gained Distinction as n Diplomat aud
Poet.

The recent death in New Haven.
Conn, of Hon. Edward j. Phelps, ex-
ambassador to the court OF St. James,
removed from the nations public ac-
tivities a brilliant jurist, an able ora
tor. a keen politician and gifted
writer.
Mr.. Phelps was native of Vermont.
where he was born, in 1922, at Middle
bury. He was a graduate of Middle
bury college and for a time practiced
law in his native town, subsequently
removing to Burlington. Under Presi-
dent Fillmore he was second comptrol-
Ter of the treasury. In 1870 he was
delegate to the Vermont constitutional
convention. In 1880 he was the un-
successful candidate of the democracy
for governor of Vermont, and the same
year he was president of the American
Bar association. In 1881 he became
professor of law in Yale university.
From 1886 to 1889 he was minister to
Great Britain, and In 1890 was the
candidate of the democrats of Vermont
an ambition he failed to realize.
He was one of the Boring sea arbi-
tration commission, which settled the
points at issue between the United
States and Great Britain. thus remov-
ing a source of much friction between
the two countries.

OUR COOKING SCHOOL.
The Family Roast.

Itoast meat, although one of the
commonest modes of dressing 1t, Is by
no means an easy task. Roast meat
is too often sent to the table nearly
raw or dried UP till there is scarcely
any gravy in it. Now, good roasting
consists in dressing the joint thor
oughly and yet retaining its juice. The
fire should be prepared some time be-
fore the meat is put in the oven; 1t
should be so good as not to require
making up while the joint is roasting.
A great deal OF the success in roast
ing will depend on the FIRE. The meat

Some Home Notes.

White corsets when they become
soiled may be cleaned by being brush
ed over with a strong brush dipped in
mixture of soap, water and am
monia.
When damping clothes for ironing
the water should be as hot as the hand
can bear. 1t is not necessary to use
as much water as is needed when 1t
Is cold
Candles should be bought in The win
ter months. 1t is best to buy a large
stock at once. and keep them stored
In dry. cool place until wanted for
use.
Beat carpet on the wrong side first,
and then more gently on the right
side. Beware of using sticks with
sharp points, which may tear the car
pet.
A simple cement for broken china or
earthenware Is made OF powdered
quicklime sifted through a coarse mus
lin bag over the white OF an egg.
When buying carpets for preference
select those with small pattern, as
they are generally more closely woven
than those with larger designs.
Coal dust mixed with salt and water

a vigorous rubbing with rough towel
afterwards. Outdoor exercise in the
warTest part of the day, and a course
Of cod liver oil is usually beneficial.
For those who suffer from derange-
ment of the stomach or a sluggish

sary, but IL is mistake to be con-

else and an occasional Turkish bath, is
all that Is needed.

Concerning Hats.

All hats fit close. Fruit is to be
much used for the trimming OF hats.
Grapes are especially modiste. Cher
ries are also popular. Morning hats
for summer are to be trimmed with
foulard scarfs to match the gowns, a
quill or wings being added to set them
off, Hats made entirely of leaves Of
different shades, with punching Of
roses at the left side. are a new and
fetching fashion.

go to Jane.
ITS preposterous" said Jane.
Outrageous" said Susan
So they did not visit.
There's rumors alloat of one OF
them electric roads to be built straight
long Peters Creek" John Lathrop
told Susan, his wife. '"That1l take
YOU straight to James, and no chang
in Of cars nor nothin'."
'Laws!" cried Susan. How soonll
Il be builded?"
Bout three years" said Lathrop,
and laughed But Susan was serious.
How many hoursll it take to git

Hours! Minutes, you mean, wom-
an Less'n fifty mjnutes'll do the

What? Me git to James in fifty
minutes!" 1t seemed incredible. Then
a resolution was born in the economi-
cal soul of Susan Lathrop. "I'll wait
ill that there road is DONE" she de-
clared. It'll be a savin'."
Jane heard of this resolve and COM
mended it.
"As Susan says" she remarked to
her husband, it'll be real economy to
put off visitin' till that there road is
DONE"
Yes acquiesced Hank French,
when we git the 'lectric it'll be
quicker to go anywhere than to stay
at home"
"Eh?" said Jane. looking per-
picked.
Yep" growled Hank; and, vexed at
his wife's lack of appreciation of his
humor, relapsed into silence.
But three years is long time going
by. The sisters stood 1t with what
fortitude they could. But thousand
things had happened of which they
desired to speak. People had died
people they both knew-and Jane and
Susan had no opportunity to discuss
deathbed speeches, likelihood Ct
frances, details of funerals, or the
situation of the bereaved families.
Beula Jones had used shaker flannel
instead of all-flannel pinning blankets
for her baby, and Susan had no chance
to tell Jane. Lila Gibbs had been mar
ried In green poplin-the idea!-and
Jane had lacked an opportunity to tell
Susan. Pete Hines was converted and
was almost exploding with his pent-
up oaths; ST Lewis had taken to drink
since he married his second wife. Was
IL not pitiful that these events had re-
NAMED undiscussed? Moreover, there
were domestic matters of still greater
importance-but these it would be n
breach of confidence TO mention.
The twins got so that the first news
they read in the Weekly Herald was
that which related to the construction
Of the electric road. When the teams
were put at work upon the roadbed,
Susan and Jane were as happy as birds.
When the first rails were laid they ex-
ulted like successful politicians the
morning after election. Each was busy
upon a frock which she intended to
wear to the house OF the other; each
was full of childish anticipation at the
thought of giving a surprise to the
other.
The time OF waiting passed. A morn
ing OF rain dawned, and at each end OF
the road bright yellow car stood
waiting to make its initial journey.

The regular mi-monthly meeting OF
the Trades Assembly last Friday even
ing was perhaps the largest meeting
in point of attendance, that has been
held in many a day. So,
President McMurchy was in the chair
and perfect decorum prevailed. The
Legislative and City Council commit
tees reported that the eight hour law
was not in force and the assembly reg
istered protest by instructing the
committee to work INCREASINGLY In be-
half of the enforcement Of the law.
A lengthy communication was read
by Secretary Richardson from William
Wallace, a member of the late Street
Railway Employees union, requesting
the assembly to protest against the in
|creasing of the speed Of street cars to
twenty miles an hour. He stated that
it was merely plan of the street rail-
way company to give better service by
decreasing the number of men employ
ed. He further stated that life of Pc
destcians was endangered on account
of the fact that car operators will be
unable to stop cars suddenly in case of
an emergency.
Delegate Kriz reminded the assembly
that the Street Railway Co., not only
busted it's union, but broke the assem-
bly, financially for time, and that if
the assembly had any influence with
the City Council it should protest a.
gainst the passage of an ordinance to
Increase the speed of street cars.

In the reports of unions the following
unions reported that trade was good
and their union was prospecting: Bak-
ers, BARRIERS, boilermakers, butchers,
carpenters, cigarmakers, plumbers,
painters, laundry workers, tailors, book
binders, and electrical workers. s>:z
The BARRIERS union reported that the
Spalding Hotel barber shop and john
sons shop on Second Avenue east, were
on the unfair list for refusing to en-
ploy union men. ;
The Electrical workers union in
formed the Assembly that every inside
wiring shop in the city had signed
their. scale for the year.
The mailing clerks in the post office
sent communication asking the as
sembly to aid them to secure the pas
sage of a law that would classify mail
ing clerks, so that their wages would
increase 500 per year until it reached
$1,000. The law also requires the OBJ
serVance of the present eight hour law.
