"Curateso For Teas.

almost every IN coming home from
Bermuda brings a curate," says Brook
Ign Life. The curates are all sent to
New York in crates, as the curates pop
ular in Bermuda are of the neuter gen
der. The curate is a set of shelves ar
ranged like a standing w~orkbasket. On
the lower shelf there are small tea
plates. The second shelf holds sweets
and little biscuits, while on the top
shelf the hostess keeps extra spoons or
cakes. The handle curves over the top,
and the curate is carried around when
serving tea. In England young curates
are considered very useful at teas, al
ways being very willing to wait on the
ladies and to add mild gossip to the
conversation carried on over the u
So for this reason the tea basket re-
ceived its name. The curates may be
had in both wicker and mahogany. In
Bermuda light wicker is used"

A Conclusive Speech,

A story is told of a speech recently
made by an Irish barrister in a court

cow had been knocked down and killed
by a train, and this was the conten-

III the train had been run as it
should have been ran, or If the bell had
beer rung as it should have been rang,
or II the whistle had been blown as it
should have been blew, both of which
they did neither, the cow would not

HOW TO GRILL.
Something That Every Good House.
keeper should Understand.

keeper should Understand.
Every good ho~usekeeper should I'M
derstand the principles of grilling. 1t is
similar to broiling. When anything is
intended to be grilled the gridiron is
placed over the fire instead of in front.
To grill successfully the fire must be
bright and smokeless or the food will
either be burned or smoked black and
unfit to eat. A coke fire grills splendid
ly. The gridiron must be clean, hot and
well creased before the meat is placed
upon it.
Great care must be taken not to in
sert a fork in the lean part when turn
ing the chop or steak or the juices will
run out into the fire. Very small tongs
are better for turning. Only turn the
meat once, and that at the end of five
or seven minutes, according to the
thickness.
The second side should require two
minutes less than the first. Only tender
meat should be grilled with gas stoves.
Serve on a hot dish, with a small pat
of butter mixed with finely chopped
parsley and a few drops of lemon juice.
The heat of the meat will melt it suf-
ficiently.
A well grilled chop or steak should
not look dry or hard, but soft and puffy,
because the moisture has all been
retained and on being heated has ex-
banded and thus produces a puffy ap-
p%earance.
In the case of a split fish put the open
side to the fire first to prevent the
juices from escaping.

HOME REQUISITES.
Small COnveniences Thai Should Al

A home may be fitted out in luxuri-
Ous style and yet if lacking in small
conveniences be destitute of comfort.
No mere artist or furnisher can supply
these. The mother or daughters must
attend to them, the little things needed
IN daily experience. From the want of
them may result innumerable slight
embarrassments or ever serious trou-
BILE.
Any one who has felt in the dark for

Its place knows the disappointment
that ensues.
One who has required a string in a
hurry understands the perplexity that
may arise from the want of a ball of
Irvine or a box or bag filled with short
cords.
It is troublesome when one wishes to
write a memorandum and has no lead
pencil at hand. If the pencil be accessi-

worse.
How easy it is to take a stitch in

PosToFFIcE DEPARTMENT.
Shows Deficit Due to Amount Of Fee
Matter Handled.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Cortelyou, in his annual report for the
past fiscal year, says that while self
sustaining condition of the Postofflce
Department would be gratifying, he is
less concerned about the deficit than
the efficiency of administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re,
ceipts from all sources were $152, 1885,
585, and the total expenditures $751;
181, 1853, leaving deficit of $14,572,5S
In connection with these figures, the
postmaster general directs attention to
the increased amount Of free matter
handled, which, he says, averaged
1858 per cent. of the entire weight car
rled, or a loss in revenue of $19,822,-
200.
"Manifestly," he says, "had the mat
ter now carried free been required to
have been prepaid, Notwithstanding the
large expenditures for the rural free
delivery service, there would have
been no deficit"
During the war twelve clerks were
killed while on duty and 1875 seriously
injured. E,ery effort, he says. has
been made to surround the clerks with
every possible safeguard. The ardu-
GUS and hazardous duties incident to
the service, he declares, called for
some Legislative action that will make
provision for clerks worn out in the
service and maintain its efficiency by
the gradual elimination of superanu-
ated clerks.
The postmaster general says an ef-
fective domestic parcels post system.
1t Is believed, could be organized ON
the same lines substantially as express
companies conduct their services and
! as parcels post service is conducted in
other countries.
While he does not deem 1t wise at
this time to ask Congress for such a
system, he earnestly recommends that
third and fourth class mail matter be
merged at the rate of cent for two
ounces. In this way, he says, all mer-
chandise parcels not exceeding four
pounds in weight would continue to be
carried at one-half the rate now
charged and afford a great opportunity
for distributing light packages to a
| multitude of places not reached by ex'
press companies.
| He wants Congress to review the
whole matter of second class rates, by
which matter is carried at ! cent a
pound that costs cents for transpor
| tation.
At the end of the fiscal year, June 80
there were in operation 60,131 postof
fees. The number cf employees in the
! service at large is stated at 100000
o. whom 1,169 are in the department at
