THE BEEF CUTS.
Information for Housewives About
Terms Used BY Butchers.

Most housewives do not understand
the terms used by the butcher to de-
scribe the various cuts into which q
carcass OF beef is divided. Therefore
they do not always know what they
are buying. Here is some information
on the subject. The whole beef is
split-nto halves, following the center of
the backbone or vertebral column from
tail to neck. Each half contains hino
and a forequarter. The foreQuarter IS
then cut from the Aindeuarter- These

are now ready for the retailer The
foreQuarter is cut into two parasitic

chuck, or shoulder proper up to and in
Guiding the eighth rib.
The eighth rib cut shows the blade
I gristle only on one side. The ninth rib
is usually called a chuck roast. The
rack is cut into prime rib, standing or

cooking: oven and pot rOasts. boneless
chuck steaks and chuck roasts cut free
of bone and metamorphosed into top
and lower Saratoga rOasts. The lower
cut is the more tender. 1t has the eye
piece, which somewhat resembles the
eye of q porterhouse rolled roast.
The chuck yields still more cuts to the
wizard of the cleaver. There are the
soup and stewing pieces, plate navel
and pot roasts. made by removing the
flesh from the shoulder bones. and
chuck steaks cut from the cross rib. In

economist This part of the beef carcass

STANDS BY RUSSIA.
France Endorses the MuscO-
vite's Course in China.

Paris. April 27.-The foreign Office has
received lengthy advices from Washing
ton regarding the feeling aroused IN the
United States over the steps taken by
Russia in connection with Mancnurla.
The dispatches show that the American
government does not intend to JOIN the
powers in opposing the Russian de-
rnands, but that the United States VIII
confine its action to safeguarding It's
own commercial interests. The assur-
ances have created a strongly faVorab bic
feeling here. The advices also state that
Arnba ssatlor Mccormick at St. Peters
burg has been instructed to forward in
formation on the subject to Washing
ton. The officials here say this will prob
ably disclose that Russia's action has
been less radical than appeared at first
The view prevails that the powers
having political antagonisms toward
Russia are responsible for the present
agitation. 1t is stated that Russia's de-
mands do not mean termination OF the
open door policy but only continuance
under Russian administration of similar
restrictions now imposed by China
+ In government quarters unnlsta ka bic
sympathy with the Russian attitude IS
shown It is claimed that Russian IN
terests in Manchuria and its proximity
to Siberia entitle Russia to take super
NisOry steps.

WOMEN AND VOTING.
The Conviction Is Growing ghat Tax
paying Women Should Vote.

1t is difficult to say how much in
nuence on public opinion speeches
made at woman suffrage conventions
may nave. People without sympathy
with the cause listen to the arguments
OFTEN from motives of curiosity and
go away unconvinced. Undoubtedly,
however, what is said does. in spite
Of their prejudices, give them new
light on the subject and affect their at
titude more or less It seems probable,
though, that the growth of sentiment
in favor Of granting certain suffrage
privileges to women gets its chief
encourage in a more direct way
Many men and women, for instance
equal suffrage movement, have come,
through personal observation and ex
perience. to realize the injustice suf
fered by women who own property
yet have no voice il. the management
Of municipal affairs affecting that
property. Women form a large per-
centage Of the taxpaying population in
every city, but have no defense against
possible - and bable-ex travagance
of municipal outlay.
The conviction has undoubtedly be
come very Widespread that they should
be allowed to assist in choosing the
officers who are to administer business
of such direct Importance to them. A
lesser number, probably. believes that
If all women were permitted to vote It
city elections the tendency to political
corruption would be checked: neverthe-
less. this idea is gaining ground also
Intelligent women eveTyN here are com
ing to take a closer interest in the af-
fairs of their own community than for
merry. and it is acknowledged. even by
those opposed to their participation in
local politics that the administration of
local affairs could at least be TO worse
through their taking a hand The pro-
fessionaI advocates Of suffrage make
their light for fun and complete rights
to the ballot, but a suffrage limited TO
municipal elections has chance of
winning the approval Of male voters
where the other has not. and has also
this in it's favor 1t will help toward
that desirable end. the divorce of mu-
nicipal from national politics.-Indian-

IS Hagenbecks conclusion It is his de-
sire that the progeny of these hybrid
parents shall continue to preserve their
types as distinctly as in the case

as mules.

and not nearly as chickenish as the
pheasant now pursued by sportsmen.
The chief characteristic of the Asiatic
pheasant, with which the European has
been successfully crossed, is its mar
velous swiftness of wing, its endur-
ance, and its fineness of flavor. The
Duke of Bedford and Lord Rothschild
have already planted several of Hagen
beck's brood on their preserves and as
as fast as the new species can be rails

Perhaps the experiments of the
greatest interest to the country at
large are those on which Hagenbeck is
now engaged in his endeavor to secure
new variety of sheep by crossing the
giant wild sheep of Central Asia with
the domestic animal. In his work.
Hagenbeck is aided by Prof. Kuhn OF
the Royal German Agricultural institu-
ton. and thus far the results have been
such as promise success.
The domestic sheep of today are eX-
tremely delicate, understood, and IN
many respects so undesira bic that thou
sands of farmers are giving up breed
ing them It is anticipated that the
new species will retain enough Of Its
Asiatic mother characteristics to make
it stronger, heavier and at the same
time of better flavor than the present
domesticated animals. The wild sheeI
OF Asia make an extremely fine meat

NAMING NEW SPECIES.
That's What Hagenbeck, the Great
Animal Trainer. Is Doing.

That entirely new species Of animals
may be created is demonstrated by the
est animal hunter, Carl Hagenbeck.
After a lifetime of study he has brought
into existence a monster creature that
has no place in natural history, yet is
the offspring of a Senegal lion and a
Bengal tigress-
On his animal ranch. near Hamburg,
Germany, Hagenbeck for some time
past has been deyoting himself to the
creating of new species of animals and
birds. He has secured an entirely new
breed Of pheasants By crossing pfleas-
ants from Central Asia with European
birds. He has obtained new varieties Of
deer and mules and wonderful crosses
between the zebra and the horse
A strange creature, the offspring Of q
leopard and a puma. is now in the Eser-
lin geological garden, but of all these,
the nameless monster now in his gar-
dens at Stellingen is the most wonder
full.
From the time Hagenbeclz began
hunting wild beasts in India and Africa
he wondered what sort OF a beast the
two ffercest animals on earth would pro-
duce if they could be made to breed
together. In order TO try the expert
ment, several years ago he secured a
splendid specimen of the Senegal lion
and monster Bengal tiSresS. Eventual
ly. the new monster, which is with the
Hagenbeck trained animal show, was
born.
1t is now larger than either the tiger
or lion and does not seem to have
reached its full growth From the nose
to the tip Of the tail the lion-tiger
measures ten feet two inches. which IS
greater length than that Of full
grown lion When it stands on all fours
it's height to the shoulders is four feet.
