A certain shoemaker is a firm believer
in "shoeology.' He says: tsWorn shoes
go ahead of the art of fortune telling
from the lines of the hand.
"ShOw me any persons footgear after
two months wear and will describe
the character of the person.
"If the soles and heels are worn
evenly, then the wearer Is a resolute,
able business man, with a clear head,
a trustworthy official or an excellent
wife and mother. If the sole is worn
on the outside. the wearer is inclined
to adventurous, uncertain fitful deeds,
or, if a woman, to bold. self willed,
capricious tricks.
THE sole being worn on the inner
side shows hesitation and weakness in
a man and modesty in a woman"

Three ways Of ROASTING Meat.

In the case of roasting at an open
fre-which is, of course, by far the
best method-the fire should be SO pre-
pared before putting the joint to it as
to last. with but slight addition of fuel.
during the whole time of cooking.
Place the joint close to the fire for ten
minutes. then withdraw a little, and, till
it is done, haste it thoroughly at short
intervals. It is best to allow fifteen
minutes to the pound of beef or mutton,
and twenty minutes for pork and veal,
and in each case about a quarter Of an
hour ov r.
In roasting by any kind Of closed
range great care must be taken to have
the ovens clean. If any fat, ETC.. from
former cooking is allowed to remain
it win impregnate the meat with an
odor and taste which is most unpleas-
ant. A roasting oven If properly ven
tilated. scrupulously clean and supplied
with a double dripping pan-the under
of which must contain water-will cook
meat to great perfection.
To roast by gas the same rules ap-
ply. and it is most important that the
cooking should proceed slowly. The
meat requires no basting or other ate
tention until it is done.
