How Betty Made Mince Meat.

Betty planned to make good sup
ply Of mince meat. 1t would Keep
through the winter, and Jack had a
weakness for mine pies. Since Betty
had mastered pastry, she felt that
pies would give very little trouble
So she went vigorously to work ston'
ing raisins, shredding citron. cleaning
currants and Sultana raisins, and boil
ing and chopping beef.
Of this beef she bought lean piece,
weighing a generous pound. This she
boiled and minced. and put with 1t half
a pound of beef-kidney suet, which she
had freed from strings and crumbled.
Two and a half pounds Of tart apples
were peeled, cored and chopped, and
this, with a pound Of seeded and
chopped raisins, a pound Of we'll
rleansed currants, half pound of Sui
tanas, carefully picked over, a scant
half pound of finely shredded citron.
and a pound and quarter Of brown
sugar were mixed with the beef and
suet. Then in went the spices. A ia,
blespoonful each of cinnamon and
mace. half a tablespoonful each OF
cloves and allspice, half a nutmeg,
grated, and heaping teaspoonful OF
salt were stirred in, and last OF all q
pint of unfermented apple juice was
put in to moisten the mince meat
When 1t came to this stage Of the pro-
ceeding, Betty discarded her wooden
spoon. washed her hands again, rolled
her sleeves above her elbows. ano
plunged her plump hands into the
mixture, beating and stirring, until she
was sure the compound was thorough
" blended. Then she turned the mince
meat out of the big yellow bowl In
which she had made it and into stone
crock with a cover and set 1t In a cor
ner of her cellar.-Christine Terhune

Smoky Chimneys.

To know the cause Of a smoky chin
ney is half its cure. In most cases II
may be ascertained without difficulty
and very simple remedy will be eff
ficacious. When the draught is slug
gish, it may be accelerated by intro
ducing cold air Immediately in front
If the fire. Say, for example, through
a hole in the hearthstone about six o1
eight inches in diameter. covered by a
ventilator and protected from cinders
and ashes by the fender. Generally
speaking, the air from underneath the
floor will be sufficient; but If not. q
greater supply can be obtained by con
structing an air drain communicating
with passage or with the externa!
air. The plan has succeeded perfectly
In curing smoky chimneys, which pre-
viously were unbearable unless the
door was ajar.

Howe's Moving Pictures.

The auditorium was literally crowded
on Tuesday evening when Lyman H.
Howe presented his justly celebrated
exhibition of moving pictures When
Manager Fox secured this engagement
he well knew the people of Brattleboro
would appreciate it, as Mr.. Howe has
given his entertainment here before. To
say that it is the best moving picture
show in existence really conveys little
idea of the pleasure and instruction
which one may gain by seeing the pic
lures. The selection of subjects is pri-
mary in importance and in this regard
no adverse criticism can be offered as
the subjects We're so chosen as to en-
men," women and children. Enthusiast
tic applause greeted nearly every pic
ture and the audience watched with
close attention. The mechanism was
the best and worked very well, with
only one or two little delays. A partic-
ularly amusing feature is the clever
way in which the pictures are made to
appear most lifelike by the introduction
of appropriate sounds. This was car
ried to such an extent that in the pic
ture of the French acrobats one could
human. The most exciting picture is
the long ride on the express locomotive
in Colorado. One watches the swiftly
moving track so intently that there is
quite a nervous strain. The most life
like picture was that of the little boy
who wants his dinner.
