depat dent existence with complete
administrative liberty. The city of
Paris forms an agglomeration of
about 100000 inhabitants, dwelling
together within Notifications forming
an almost complete circle of walls and
moat without any solution of contin-
uity. For purposes of administration
1t has been divided into 20 arrondiss-
ments or districts, but these arron-
dissments have no municipal life of
their own. At their head are officials
appointed by the president of the re-
public upon the nomination of the
minister for home affairs. They are
chosen from among the most distin-
guished citizens, and, under the
names Of mayor and deputies, fulfill
all the functions of officers of the
civil state. They register births,
deaths and marriages, direct char
table and sanitary committees, attend
to the celebrations of weddings, draw
up the conscripts and electoral lists
and that is ALL In reality, they are
mayors only in name; they are neither
mayors by their origin, which is non
elective nor by their duties, which do
not allow them to participate to any
extent in interests vital to the city
of Paris.
The ACCOMPLISHMENTS are themselves
| divided into four electoral districts,
| called quarters, whose sole raIson
d'etre is the election by each of mu-
nicipal councillor. The Partisan COM
munal administration is in the hands
of two powers, absolutely distinct
but acting in closest cooperation with
one another. They are:
l. The municipal council repre-
senting the people. This is composed
of 80 members, elected for four years
| by universal suffrage, in the proper
! tion of one to each quarter.
2. The projects of the Seine and of
the police, representing the govern
ment. These are high officials, re-
sponsible directly to the minister for
home affairs, and appointed by the
| president of the republic.
The municipal council decides all
matters of communal interest, but
while certain Of it's resolutions can
take immediate effect, others have
to be submitted to the approval either
of the government or of the cham
bers. 1t passes the budget, but this
budget must have official sanction;
moreover, all the fresh taxes
established by the council must be
finally approved, according to their
nature. either by presidential de-
cree or by special law. In the course
of the year the council holds several
ordinary and several extraordinary
sittings.
The budget is first discussed by a
general committee and is afterward
voted at a public sitting of the whole
council. For the consideration of
| public works or special importance,
such as the Metropolitan railway, for
instance, council appoints special
committee.
The business papers are distributed
by the president among the different
committees, who study them, come te
certain conclusions, and appoint one
of their number to present and defend
their views at public sitting of
the council. The colossal work which
devolves upon the Paris municipal
assembly will be realized when !
point out that it has to examine and
settle no fewer than 10000 business
matters in a year, and this in addition
to the framing of the budget.

DRESS HINTS.

A new sleeve will often make a
dress presentable that otherwise must
be discarded.
In changing garments, before ripping
look them over and be sure 1t is not
going to cost more to get sufficient ma
terials with which to make them over
than it would cost to buy new.
Never hold the skirt on your lap
while basting. Remember that it Is
most important to keep it fat, so lay
It on table and haste from top to
bottom with small, even stitches. Keep
your seams level and straight.
To mend dress that Is worn under
the arms, rip the sleeves loose from the
dress we'll on either side Of the under
arm seams and set new piece Of the
material neatly in the waist and sleeve.
These pieces should be nicely pressed
before again sewing the sleeve part

THE FRYING PAN.
Greasy Food and the Use of Lard In
Cooking.

Greasy Food and the Use of Lard In
Cooking.
Greasy fried potatoes or croquettes
are an abomination even to the woman
who has not forsworn all fried things
on general health principles.
Personally would never serve po-
tatoes, much as like them, that must
be fried in lard. No matter how care
fully they are done, they are bound to
taste. The only exception to this Is
the French fried potato, which, being
done in boiling lard, does not absorb
grease, as is done by the slower proc
eSS.
All food fried in deep lard is much
nicer If piece Of bread Is dropped in
to the boiling fat to absorb the first
grease. This Is also q good test Of
whether the lard is hot enough. If the
bread at once turns a clear golden
brown, the proper temperature Is as
sured.
The use Of brown paper under all
fried articles before serving does much
to prevent them being greasy.
A frying basket is more than a con-
venience. 1t frequently prevents bad
burns for the cook, consequent to hasty
lifting from boiling fat with shallow
spoon. philadelphia North American.

Commissions

In commissions the first thing to do is
to loosen the clothing, SO that free res
piration may be had. Cold water should
be applied to the head with sponge
and the face gently sprinkled with it.
The hot bath, which should be from 81
degrees to 90 degrees, in connection
with cold applications to the head, is OF
great service. The child should not be
kept in the hot bath more than ten
minutes and while there should be
well rubbed with the hand and then
dried and rubbed with warm towel,
rolled In hot blanket and put to bed.
When commissions are caused by the
approach Of an eruptive fever, such as
scarlet fever, measles, etc., the hot
mustard bath for the feet or entire
body is excellent If the child can be
induced to drink hot drinks, it will
greatly assist.

In this way and much more tender

A dinner of corned beef and cabbage
may be placed In the cooker after
breakfast and the housekeeper spend
the entire day away from home with
no anxiety lest it burn, returning at
Ginner time to find 1t thoroughly cook
ed and steaming hot Onions, beets,
turnips, baked beans and nearly all
vegetables are fine cooked in this way
and without odor, steam or heat in the
kitchen. The cereals, soups and steWs
require a little different treatment.
They lose no water by evaporation, as
when boiled, and must be prepared as
if for steaming. Put three parts Of wa
ter to one of cereal, sailed as usual, in
small pail with tight cover. They
come in nickel, granite or agate, if one
objects to utilizing old lard pals thor
oughly cleaned. After bringing it to
the boiling point place it In the large
kettle with boiling water about an inch
lower than the top Of the small pail.
Cover and pack as before.
We cook oatmeal for breakfast by
starting it on the gas at 10 p. m. and
placing it in the cooker. At I the next
morning 1t is steaming hot and cooked
deliciously. Every housekeeper will
soon make her own time table, follow
ing the general rule given above. As
there is no danger Of burning and the
food is kept hot it is best to allow
plenty Of time.
Our cooker has been such success,
and we estimate saving Of 30 per
cent In gas bills, that we are elaborat-
ing the idea and shall soon have three
pals arranged in box three feet long
We are also contemplating a wire rack
elevated above the water in the pail to
steam foods upon. Many other devices
will occur to the housekeeper as she
uses 1t from day to day, for the idea Is
almost limitless In Its scope.-New

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.
What Practical Housewife Does
With Homemade Apparatus.

What a Practical Housewife Does
With Homemade Apparatus.
Cooking without fire seems a para
dox Even a few years ago we would
have laughed at the suggestion, but
science and modern invention are every
day accomplishing the apparently i'm
possible, and fireless cooking, one Of it's
latest triumphs, promises to be great
boon to the housekeeper.
The principle Is simple and appeals
directly to our common sense When
food has been brought to the boiling
point the fire can only keep 1t at that
temperature No matter how much
gas or fuel is used the temperature
does not rise above 212 degrees, SO that
any other means by which that tenn
perature can be sustained, or nearly so,
will accomplish the same result. The
success Of any such device depends up
on all the heat being retained by means
of an air tight kettle and by the pack
ing which surrounds it being good
nonconductor of heat. If the house
keeper or man Of the house possesses
skill with the hammer and some inge-
nuity, a freless cooker may be made at
home which will prove as satisfactory
as the patented article and as elaborate
as the pocketbook allows or taste de-
sires. The one we describe Is so simple
and inexpensive as to be within the
reach Of every woman and absolutely
satisfactory If the directions are faith
fully followed.
A box is the first requisite, eighteen
inches square and eighteen inches
deep. If larger, it does not matter, but
1t must not be smaller. Two soap
boxes from the grocer's were used for
the model. The bottom was taken out
Of one, and it was fastened with
cleats on top Of the other, making the
required depth. The cover was fas-
tened on the back with pieces Of leath-
er for hinges, though heavy cloth or
felt will do as well, and hook and
loop were screwed into the front to
fasten it securely. The kettle used
was an eight quart granite pail with
a reasonably tight cover. This cost So
cents at one of the department stores,
but any kettle may be used, not small

err than six quarts, If the cover Ats
tightly. This last is a very important
point, and great care must be taken
regarding it.
Our kettle Is completely sealed by
means Of piece of one and quarter
inch pure rubber tubing, which can be
bought at any drug store for Is cents
a yard. The rubber was stretched a
little around the inside rim Of the COW
err Of the pail, then cut the desired
length, and the two ends were fastened
together by cutting one and slipping 1t
inside the other for quarter Of an
inch and tying securely. The rubber
ring was then put on the cover exactly
as rubbers are put on fruit cans. If
any other kettle is used instead of the
pail, it should have perpendicular sides
for convenience In packing.
The packing used is excelsior, which
the drug store contributed, about bar
relful being necessary. The box was
lined with newspapers, bottom and
sides, allowing enough on the ends and
sides to fold over the top when the box
was filled. A pad three inches thick,
tightly packed with excelsior, made
either of cotton cloth or old flannel,
was fitted to the bottom of the box
and a similar pad made for the top.
For packing the sides and filling in
tightly around the kettle loose excel
sior may be used, but for convenience
and to avoid litter 1t is better to put it
In different sized pads or fill old -four
bags. The kettle or pail is placed on
the pad in the bottom Of the box and
securely packed on all sides. When
lifted out the little nest retains it's
shape so that the kettle may be slipped
IN and out quickly each time it is used.
Our cooker is now ready for use. Put
the meat or vegetables to be cooked
into the kettle, fill with water to within
two inches Of the top, bring the water
to a boil, place the cover on the kettle.
If 1t springs up, fasten it down with a
wire or string passed through the han
dies and over the top. After 1t Is Sc
curely fastened allow it to boil one
minute, which exhausts the air and
seals the kettle, bringing the tempera-
ture to PIP degrees. Be very careful
not to let it boil longer, as the steam
would blow the cover off, and bad
burns might result Take the kettle
from the fire, place it quickly in the
nest In the box, crowd the packing
down firmly on all sides, completely
covering it. Place the top pad over and
then the newspapers, close the box COW
er down and aasten it. The box must
be filed and packed as tightly as pos
sible.
The time required for the cooking
Will vary according to the perfection
attained in the construction Of the
cooker. We find a general rule to be
twice as long as over the fire and one
hour extra. A six quart kettle will re-
quire longer than the larger size. In
cooking anything which requires long
time, like ham, tongue, beets, ETC., we
place 1t in the cooker at night ano end
It thoroughly done in the morning
Meats are especially delicious treated
