A Fortunate University.
Boston Herald (Ind).

Boston Herald Qnd).
The University of Pennsylvania has
come into possession of library of tab
lets" unearthed by Professor Hiprecht's
excavations at Nippur in 9abylonia. The
professor was given these tablets by the
Sultan and has presented them to the
University. They contain records to which
date of five thousand years before the
Christian era is assigned, and were written
prior to the time when Abraham left that
region. The excavation of the great library
of the Temple of Bel has only begun. Prof
Hilprecht says that when the entire mound
shall have been dug out, at least one hun
dred and fifty thousand tablets, none later
than three thousand years before the
Christian era, will have been recovered
We do not suppose that the addition Of
these tablets to the library of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania will result in any
large increase of the number of those who
resort to it; but the possession of these ORR
entail records is, nevertheless, something
to have pride in. They give distinction
to American scholarship, and will be an
incentive to other students to participate
in the great work of exploration that is
bringing to light so many ancient histor.
ical records relating to times that have
been regarded as essentially prehistoric.

VEAL IN COOKERY.
Which May BE New to the
Average Housewife.

Veal is a meat that is not univer
sally appreciated in this country, bu
in France, where some of the bes
veal in the world is to be found il
the markets, it forms the foundation
of much of the French cookery. Il
nearly all stocks and sauces veal en-
ters as an ingredient. 1t is as i'm
possible to make q successful con
somme or rich brown sauce withou
veal stock as it is to make a whit
stock or white sauce, says the New
York Tribune.
There is popular notion that bee,
soup or bouillon is naturally of s
rich, dark color This is a mistake
No beef soup is dark unless it is ar
tifcially colored with caramel or YEA
stock. A large amount of beef Il
used in any consomme, but merely
to impart flavor. What are termed the
rich brown sauces of cookery are all
double stocks"
To make white stock or "bouillon
blanc," select good shank of veal
weighing about six pounds and cut
the meat from the bones and crack
the bones. Cover with six quarts of
perfectly cold water, add two table
spoonfuls of salt, also ~ carrots.
two small onions, one turnip, three
well washed leeks and two stalks of
celery. The vegetables must all be
peeled and cut in fine pieces. When
the water comes to boiling point, add
the vegetables and let the stock sim
mer for six hours. This is good white
stock, rich enough for plain soups
and white sauces.
To make a stock for brown sauces
and consomme soups, cut off the meat
from shin of beef. Chop it fine.
Add two carrots, two small onions,
three leeks, bunch of parsley roots,
six cloves, IL whole peppers and a
bay leaf. The chopped meat and the
vegetables should be Drowned in but
ter and should be covered with six
quarts of white stock like that just
described and two quarts of cold wa
ter. Let the whole come to the boil
ing point and simmer slowly for four
hours. This will impart the straw
color of a good consomme, and it's
beefy flavor. Strain it through nap
kin and colander. This is an excel
lent consomme. Reducing it to about
of it's former bulk will
make a rich brown sauce. The con-
somme will be a light jelly when
cold-the sauce a dark, heavy jelly,
suitable as a foundation for any
dark, rich meat sauce. In cold wealth
err it will keep for long time-much |
longer, in fact, than a consomme. The |
use of veal, bones and meat, gives
these sauces gelatinous consistency
and a fine golden color, which no
stock made of any other meat will
have. The French sometimes initiate
-he color of the stocks and sauces by
he use Of caramel and sometimes by
adding gelatine. But no sauce made
n this way can compare in flavor and
quality with that made from double
itock."

Yea, and doubtless the Times knows
why. If it does not we will tell it. The
Democratic newspapers and leaders pre-
tend that we are to have honest elections
under the new Constitution, but they
keep the same machine in control of the
party in the Ninth District that construct
ed and used the infamous "Scott County
Ballot" and that employed the numerous
fraudulent devices used in the election Of
1900 to count w. F. Rhea in. With the
same men controlling the ballot boxes,
under the direction of the same machine,
what can the Republicans expect to see
but increased fraud, especially when these
fellows have been reinforced by wicked

FOOD AND WASTE.
Economies Which the American Has to
Learn Of the European.
Chicago Chronicle (Dem.)

Chicago Chronicle Dem.)
In Europe housewife will buy every
day exactly the amount of food material
needed for the day as closely rs she can
estimate the need. Ice is costly and rare
in the homes of the people. They get on
well without it by avoiding the necessity
of its use. Buying only the quantity Of
food to be promptly consumed, there is nc
loss by waste between days.
In any ordinary European market pur-
chasers may be seen counting out small
cash for half a dozen potatoes or less, for
one egg or two, for half a bunch OF
asparagus, for one apple and for cor
respondingly small portions of meats and
other edibles. 1t has often been observed
that a French housewife would feed an
entire family with what an American
housewife throws away.
1t is just to the French housewife to add
that the family would enjoy more varied
and better cooked dinner from the days
waste in an American household than the
American family gets on an average out of
the profuse supplies for which the family
wage-earner must pay
Waste, unfortunately is not the only or
the worst result ofthe extravagant market
ing daily done by the average American
housewife. The unused portion of the
fruit and vegetables is left in or near the
house either in the icebox, if there be one,
or in the garbage box or basket near the
kitchen door.
Icebox contents are often contaminated
and made poisonous by leftover fruit and
vegetables held too long while bacteria
multiply unexpectedly. The prudent
housekeeper will limit her daily marketing
to the days consumption. Her bills will
be lower in consequence and the health of
the family will be better.

"COin" Harvey Appears Again.

Kansas City Journal Rep)
Just as it was thought he had gone down
for the last time, "Coin" Harvey has come
to the surface again. He was in Joplin
Monday. The principal of the once fam
GUS financial school is now living in the
Ozark Mountains, where he is running
a health and Summer resort. He would
take students of the financial question by
the day or week, but there seems no
longer to be a demand for the kind of In
struction he used to give, and, instead OF
disseminating public discomfort and
transformation, he is doing what he can
to promote the general health. Singular,
inst it, how quickly a man may be re-
legated to obscurity, after having cut a
big fgue in the world? "Coin" seems to
be an uncommony philosophical "cuss'
and bears the vicissitudes that flesh is heir
to with great equanimity. He is looking
well, and is probably making more money
than he would have been if bis financial
theories had gained wider acceptance.

Miss Stones Ransom.
London Spectator.

London Spectator
The payment of the ransom for Miss
Stone has, as might have been expected
given encouragement to the predatory
classes in Eastern Europe. -Four sons Of
wealthy Roumanian families have recently
been seized by brigands and held to ran
som, while in Greece, which was recently
free from the pest, brigandage has once
more revived. The police seem to be
powerless, and there is reason to fear that
in-some districts the people sympathize
with the criminals. The true remedy
would be thuggee department, with no.
thing to do but collect evidence against
the brgands and hunt them down. But
could not something be done by the old
device of our barbarian ancestors9 We
fancy that if the districts in which the
crime occurred were always, compelled to
pay the ransom, brigands would find their
trade much too uncomfortable. A
populace, even if it is not very virtuous,
only loves brigands as long as it profits by
them. That is just one of the cases in
which collective punishment is allowable
and also effective.

Committee in reply to our "Open Letter"
