A GOOD POT ROAST.

This is said to be Henry Clay's IA
vorite dish, and is guaranteed to be
after a recipe of Mrs. Clay's. Havo
the butcher extract the bone from the
rump roast and take a few stitches
to keep the piece in shape. Place in
an iron pot with. tight cover. Put in
with it two small onions with two
cloves stuck in each, pod of red
pepper, two carrots, salt, and little
allspice Pour enough boiling water
over the beef to nearly cover it. Let
it come to a hard boil, -heu set the
pot where it will just simmer for six
hours. Place the beef on a hot dish,
strain the gravy, and take off every
particle of grease. Have ready one
half teaspoonful of sugar Drowned in
a saucepan, pour the gravy over it,
and thicken with little eour. When
cooked pour over the beef. Cut up
the carrots and arrange around the
meat A better pot roast could hard
ly be cooked.

The Victorious Flea.

One OF the justices Of the
United States Supreme Court din
ed recently with Washington
family who are ardent advocates Of
vegetarian diet. In the course OF
dinner, which consisted, says the New
York Evening Post, of all the delica-
cies Of edible life now in season, the
hostess undertook the conversion OF
her beef-reared guest.
But despite her arguments, which
were cleverly based on the chemical
constituents Of various kinds Of food,
the jurist was not convinced.
But surely, Mr.. Justice" she s.. i'd,
finally, you must admit that We .eta-
rianism means strength and .bility
when you remember that the rabbit,
which feeds wholly on vegetables, can
make such great leaps over the ground
from hiding-place to hiding-place."
''True, madam" answered the dis
tinguished man, gravely, "but we
must also remember that the minute
creature for which naturalists claim
the ability to jump more times its own
length than any other belongs in tho
class of pure carnivora."

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(Special)
There is deep interest in Green coun-
ty over the cure of the little daughter
Of 1. n. Whipkey Of Rheumatism. She
was great sufferer for five or six
years and nothing seemed to do her
any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills. She began to improve almost at
once and now she is cured and can run
and play as other children do. Mr..
Whipkey says:
Il an indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for
my daughter; they saved her from be-
ing cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
OF diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. II
the kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and consequent
ly no rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney
Pills make the Kidneys right.

A FINE FLAVORING.

Orange rinds in their fresh state
make fine flavoring. A good extract
is prepared by boiling the yellow riDd
of Mediterranean or seeilesS Cali
fornia orange with enough water to
cover it, and enough sugar to make a
thin syrup. Every particle Oh bitter
inner white skin of the rind should
be peeled off and only the juicy yellow
part used. This extract, though 1t
does not keep indefinitely, will last as
long as any mild syrup. Put Ibis ex-
tract into wide-mouthed bottles, leav-
ing in the Feelings. You may add
fresh syrup and rinds from time to
time, as you wish. When cutting up
oranges for the supper table. the riDds
may be laid aside and used for this
purpose.

yENISON.

There are several good methods Of
cooking this delicious meat, but broil-
ing and roasting are the most popu-
lar. After partially broiling rub the
steaks with butter and return to the
fire until they are done. Place on a
very hot platter and add seasoning
and little more butter. Melt a ia
blespoonful of currant jelly and pour
over the venison just before serving.
1t is a good plan to marinate venison
steaks before broiling, and for this
purpose the following is recommend
ed: Stir into a tablespoonful Of salad
oil, salt white pepper, and very lit
tie grated nutmeg. Roll the ven'son
well in this before placing in the
broiler.

IMMOslLITY OF TnE EAR.
Distinct Gain Due to Loss of Ability 20
Waz That Organ.

WaB 1nat OIBaus
The ear Is immobile. Accordingly it
Is incapable of reflex movements for
catching sounds, like those by which
the eye Is turned so quickly to meet
the light coming from an object. We
find likewise that the perception of
space by means of sound Is in an ex-
remely undeveloped form. What is
the size of thunder? The question at
first seems absurd. Yet it cannot be
entirely absurd, for we speak OF the
peal as heaven-filling. The appearance
Of absurdity Is due to the hopeless
vagueness of the sound image in re-
spect to extent II We analyze this
vagueness we find that owing to the
lmmobility OF the ear we cannot locate
sounds with precision
We have now to ask what the men
tai gain is which has resulted from
this loss. 1t is to be found In the abil-
ity to attend to a succession of sounds
Let US notice how distinct is our per-
ception of succession. A sound comes
suddenly and sharply, and then it is
gone, and another sound Of distinct
quality takes its place; thus by its
very nature sounds lends itself easily
to this kind Of perception. And when
We listen to a sounding object, our In
terest Is in catching the sounds which
come in sequence. This is illustrated
most distinctly in attention to dis
"a hoa 81 70
but the predominant characteristic of
our perception of sounds is that their
variety is given in succession. Hear
ing Is a time-sense. Ii the ear had re-
NAMED mobile, it would have been the
organ of a space-sense, for it would
have given a number of sounds as
practically coexisting and as coexisting
in definite relations to each other; the
mobility being lost, hearing has become
a time-sense.
To sum up, the loss of the ears mo-
bility has resulted in the fuller appre-
citation Of the succession of sounds, and
thus has been in an important sense 4
condition Of the social, intellectual, anG
esthetic development which has come
with the use Of language and music,
and it is in high degree probable.
though the data are insufficient for con-
elusive demonstration, that it is to the
advantage given in the struggle for ex-
istence by the first stages Of this de-
velopment that we are to attribute the
permanent alteration in the structure
of the ear. We thus see that the sense
organ having originally the form best
adapted to the conditions in which the
organism lived changed Its form to
meet the conditions Of higher stage of
evolution. 1t. may be that in this form
it is most in accord with the special
stimulations which appeal to it; it is
certainly in this form that it can min
lister to the highest spiritual activities.

Son Of q Samuraf.

Admiral Togo was third son of Togo
Kichizaemon, an admiral of the clan Of
Satsuma, and the father gave him the
name Of Heihachiro. He was born at
Kogoshima on the 18th day Of the
10th moon Of the year Of grace 1857.
The gracious period of Meiji (which by
Interpretation means the era Of en-
lightened reign began in 1868 A. D.
That was also the birth date Of the
new Nippon. After the sacred tradi-
ton Of samurai family, his mother
took him to the shrine of a guardian
deity and placed him upon the altar
as the offering to his country and to
the sword, that he might defend the
land Of the gods, Like many another
boy Of samuraf family, his military
training dates back far beyond his

Curious Rock thar Burn..


A French expedition which visited
Australia in 1902 discovered, besides
indications OF coal at the base of the
Blue mountains in New South Wales,
considerable masses Of a bituminous
schist -hich burned with a lively
fame. Teh schist did not burn up in
the process, but simply changed color
and became friable. This was ap-
parently the first mention of the Aus.
tralian kerosene shales, which are
widespread and comparatively abun-
dant throughout the country, although
occurring elsewhere in only two places
Scotland and France-says the New
York Globe.
At present something over $4,000
tons of this curious rock, having a
value Of over 100000, are annually
mined in New South Wales. The
shale is dug up, placed in retorts, SIM
liar in principle to those used in city
gasmaking, and the bituminous mate
rial which permeates the shale dis.
titled off into suitable receptacles. The
various products obtained from the
shale are per cent of naphtha, Ga
per cent of gas oils, 10 per cent of
blue oils and 8 per cent of paraffin.
The shale yields from forty to sixty
gallons Of crude oil to the ton. Along
portions Of the southwest coast of
Australia, near the Warren river, the
seashore after heavy northwest storms
has been observed strewn with great
pieces Of bitumen and the water COW
cred with film of iridescent oil. It
Is thought probable, therefore, that
there are large deposits of bituminoue
matter in Western Australia.

Decidedly Cool.

A friend Of the late Bishop Hunting
ton was spending a Sunday in Edin-
burgh and followed the crowd to the
church of a celebrated preacher. AT
the close Of the service he said to the
clergyman:
''That was q remarkably fine SER
mon"
The minister, pulled up with pride,
said:
'Thank you, thank you"
But" said the Boston man, 81 have
heard it before; it is one of Bishop
Huntington's sermons"
"Ah, yes. l dare say-to be sure
but Huntington could never have got
1t of as I did"
The anecdote is related by the Con-
gregationalist whose only comment is
that "for consistent and unblushing
plagiarism this beats the record
