How to Use Christmas Left overs.

How to Use Christmas Left Overs.
The day after Christmas or many
days after is vexatious of spirit to
the thrifty honsekeeper. She sees left
overs galore. too excellent to be thrown
out and yet not abundant for the whole
family meal warmed over BY little
ingenuity totally different serving
from on Christmas day can be easily
accomplished, such as the use of the
following. says the New York Globe:
Turkey Loaf Chop fine or put
through the mincer. Take enough meat
and fine crumbs Of one day old bread
to measure one quart add two eggs,
beaten unseparated, one level table.
spoonful of butter. one level teaspoon
ful of celery salt, one-half teaspoonful
OF paprika and one cupful of turkey
SOUP stock. Mix thoroughly, pack in
oval mold or bread pan, buttered and
bake in a moderate oven until it leaves
the sides of the pan. Run fiat knife
blade around. inyert into a hot dish
and garnish with steamed olives or
pinolas and balls of the dressing.
Pressed Turkey. Another delicious
way to serve the meat is to take one
pint of minced turkey, four rolled soda
crackers, half teaspoonful of salt,
one-fourth teaspoonful of pulverized
cloves, a generous pinch Of pulverized
allspice, one tablespoonful of butter
and two eggs, whites beaten separate
" until stiff and added last. Pack in
a buttered ring mold, set in pan of
cold water and bake in the oven until
firm. Unmold on hot dish and fill
the center with potato balls, Garnish
with parsley.
Plum Pudding Croquettes. Take the
left over pudding and bind together
with egg yolks, form into balls, roll IN
fine breadcrumbs, dip into beaten yolk
diluted with cream, then recover with
crumbs; fry in deep smoking hot fat
until a light brown, drain into paper.
heap on folded napkin after rolling
in pulverized sugar, trim with holly
and serve as dessert with egg sauce.

Propagation By Cuttings.

Fall is the time to make cuttings of
shrubs and small fruits and vines. 1t
is much the cheapest way of increas-
ing your stock and is SO simple that
any one with ordinary judgment can
not fail to be successful
Cut a piece Of we'll ripened wood
long enough to contain at least two
buds of joints. Cut it off close to the
Joints. Then choose a place where the
ground is moist and shaded and rich.
such us the north side of a fence or
building, and insert the cuttings in the
earth to their full length SO that the
top joint is about even with the sur
face. To do this it viii usually be nec-
essary TO first drive down a spade. for
the cuttings are not strong enough to
be thrust into the solid ground.
Before freezing weather cover them
with a mulch of straw or something Of
that kind and do not uncover them
until growth starts in the spring. Then
cultivate and hoe them throughout the
season and keep clean of grass and
weeds. Cuttings of the grape should
not be taken until pruning time comes.
which is not until after the leaves fall.
Another plan is to tie the cuttings in
punches and bury them in the ground
or in a box of moist sand in the cellar.
During the winter the ends will callus
over with tender layer of cambium,
out of which finer roots will readily
start when the cutting is planted. This
is the method practiced by nurserymen,
but planting in the fall as soon as cut
answers very well and is less trouble
for the farmer. says writer in Orange.

Old E'aaeuil hall Boston. had within
Its walls Dec II 10 13 a gathering Of
the bone ana sinew of the land. It
was an unusual scene The hall was
.profusely decorated for the occasion
with flowers, foliage and bunting as
well as an abundance of fruits and
farming produce. The state grange
has not met in the city of Boston since
1891, and since that time the number
of oranges in the state has doubled.
Out of 201 subordinate oranges 1876
were represented and all the twenty
Pomona oranges. State Master Rich
;ardson in his annual address said that
the Order had Increased 1900 within
The past year, and he suggested that
the grange take favorable action for
better laws on taxation calculated to
reach personal property. He argued
the Importance of good roads and the
need of legislation to protect them
from high speed automobiles, the de-
struction of the gypsy moth and the
need Of arousing public interest in
losses by insect pests. A large amount
of business was transacted, and what
was perhaps the most Important was
the selection of committee of thirty
to carry into effect the vote of the
grange for trying a system of co-opera-
tive ibllyingsof agricultural supplies as
we'll as cooperative selling The mas
ter of each of the twenty Pomona

The sixth degree was conferred on 555

Japanese Nipples.

Nearly every one admires the Japa-

In fact, that is the time of year when
they seem even more beautiful than
when the foliage is changing in the au-

are at their best. although they are at
tractive throughout the season. Japa-
nese naples vary in height from four
to eight feet, when they are shrublike

height of twenty or twenty-five feet.

FUN FOR THE cs1il DREM.



Christmas is the cn5Iaeen's elssy, and
for one day at least their elders should
try to enter into the init af Christ
mastide and make it aenIy a day of re-
ioicing and fix in their fertile minds
the reason OF its celebration.
The wise mother Will make arrange
ments whereby the breakfast shall be
served at half past q ON that one morn
ing of the year. and antil the children
have had their breakfast they cannot
have their bursting stockings. Mothers
know the danger the children run in
eating candies, nuts, etc, before break
fast, and it would really be asking too
much of children no wait the ordinary
hour. So after they have had their
breakfasts more or less quietly let
them begin their search for theirstock-
ings
Ii there is TO be a tree in the evening
the bulk of the presents should be up
on that. and carefully selected home
made candies. with apples and oranges,
flI the stockings. but stockings there
must be. One exceedingly wise mother
makes the most delicious popcorn balls,
and in the sirup she surreptitiously in
scorporates a good dose of eascara sa-
grada. The children eat these with APP
petite, and no doctor is called out to
attend ailments Christmas night.
Some persons prefer to avoid the toll
and danger of tree and invent many
different plans for the holding of gifts.
One of them is in the form of an enor-
nous paste5oard pie, from which pro-
.trude ribbons with each guests name
and to which the gifts hidden in the
lie are attached A spider web is an
other plan, but more costly Still an
.1sfaer is the blue hens nest, when the
presents are hidden in freproofed
straw.
After breakfast those who cam go to
church should do 50, while the others
should be encouraged to go ont to play
or walk if the weather permits. IT it
doesn't it devolves upon the big sisters
and brothers and other children's big
brothers and sisters to get the children
off into the biggest and least furnished
room in the house and there play the
old fashioned games which never lose
their zest with children. They are
blind mans buff, pussy wants cor
ner, blow the feather and other time
honored games True they are noisy.
But who cares for noise on Christmas
day?
After church the family all join in
games trifie less noisy perhaps, but
well liked But Christmas without
noise would be a lugubrious affair and
one calculated to hide the real mean
ing of it to the children.
The dinner on this day of days should
be much earlier than usual, as no
luncheon is provided, since everybody
is nibbling from early morning, and 10
one is hungry.
After dinner there is a slight lull in
the noise. as every one is too full for
utterance. until it is time to light the
tree. If the room is large enough to
permit of it, the whole company should
join hands and dance around the tree
three times. singing the old Christmas
carol.
God bless you, merry gentlen1ens
Let nothing you dismay.
For our Lord the Christ was born
Upon this Christmas day.

During the past year Maine has or
ganized sixteen new oranges and reor-
ganized six, making an increase of
twenty 1.-TWO subordinate oranges. They
are strong on all departments Of
grange work. There are 40S subordi-
nate oranges, represented by an aver
age membership Of 1872. They have
added 1901 new members. making a
total paid up membership of 1896
up to Sept 80 They have erected and
dedicated five new grange halls the
past year which cost $21 900, an aver
age of 1900 each. Three hundred and
ffty-fye of the 40S subordinate oranges
own and occupy their own halls. The
aggregate value of these grange homes,
with their furnishings, is $SS7000,
which serves to indicate the stability
Of the Order in that state. Pomona
oranges have held 226 regular meet
ings and subordinate oranges 1909
and 700 special meetings during the
year.
Houlton grange will do cooperative
business of 100000 for the year. The
Patrons Cooperative corporation, con-
trolled by the state grange, will trans
act d business of $275, 900, and the CO.
operative financial work among the
oranges, besides that mentioned, will
amount to at least 100000 more. They
have three Patrons fire insurance COM

the state. The state grange several
years ago erected what Is known as
the state grange cottage at Good Will
farm, which is owned, furnished and
cared for by the state grange. In that
cottage at the present time there are
twenty-four little orphans for whom
the grange furnishes home and gives
the opportunity of schooling. They
have just completed arrangements for
scholarship for higher education in
a young ladies' classical school. Maine
is certainly in the front rank of active

A RAzoRss EDGE.
Results That Come From stroppins
and Long Use.

and Long Use.
Very thin is the edge of razor blade.
Its thickness has been estimated at
about one half millionth of an inch.
A writer says of this wonderfully thin
bit of steel. when seen under a power
full microscopes THE extreme edge of
the section is distinctly bent to one
side. This is nearly always seen in
razor edges. The actual bend repre-
sents the effect of the last stroke on
the stroD which this blade has received.
Now. this bending of the metal quite
near the edge, minute as it is has some
very important practical consequences.
If the razor be used in such way
that the bend is toward the skin there
win be a tendency for the edge itself
to burrow downward into the skin, in
stead of sliding easily over the surface
and merely cutting away the project
ing hairs. If, on the other hand, the
blade be applied to the face in such
way that the bend of the edge is away
from the skin the edge will slide much
more smoothly, with less tendency to
cut or scratch the skin, while it will
act upon the hairs in a slightly upward
direction and thus tend to pull them
tight while cutting. The direction Of
the bend of the edge can be regulated
by the last few strokes on the strop
sThis minute amount Of bending un-
dergone by the metal near the edge OF
a razor blade has another practical re-
suit. We all know that piece Of wire
which will quite easily stand being
bent double will be broken if it be bent
backward and forward many times.
What really takes place is that the
metal which was strong and ductile
to begin with, is gradually made hard
and brittle and then finally breaks off.
Now. the metal near the edge of a
razor is being subjected to very similar
treatment. Every turn ON the strop
reverses the direction of the bend near
the edge. and, although the amount Of
bending is too slight ever to bring
about actual breakage of such an
elastic metal as hardened steel, 1t is
yet sufficient TO bring about change
in the metal which renders it less
elastic and able to stand the strain.
This is why razor which has been
used long ceases to cut well or to hold
a good edge.
ssNow it has been discovered that
steel which has lost it's proper elastic
qualities by such process of fatigue
as it is called, is capable of recovering
its good qualities under favorable cir
cumstances. 1t will recover in this
way if left at rest, though this is a
comparatively slow process, which ex-
plains the fact that tool which has
become useless through continued use
will be as good as ever after a prolong-
ed rest. But recovery will take place
much more rapidly if the steel be
warmed. 50 that a few minutes expo
sure to the temperature Of boiling wa
ter will bring about recovery to an ex-
tent that would have required several
days rest at the ordinary tenlpera-
lures. This fact explains the advantage
to be derive;i from the familiar prac-
fice .efs ste aHlfs..s a razor before use"

Hay Measurement.

That from and after the passage of
this law, the following shall consti.
tute the legal measurement for hay in
stack in the state of Montana:
Four hundred and twenty-five feet
shall constitute q ton of clean, native,
blue joint hay, after 60 days and up
to six months settlement in stack. but
when the same shall have been over
six months in the stack, $40 cubic feet
shall be considered a ton.
As to other kinds of hay, after the
same shall have settled In stack from
60 days up 10 one years time, 422
cubic feet shall constitute q ton.
As to the hay which has been in
stack n year, without regard to the
kind thereof, the number Of cubic feet
to the ton shall be mutually agreed
upon by the parties. And in making
measurements of hay in stack the fol.
lowing is hereby made the legal
method of measurement, to.wit; the
width and length of the stack shall be
me asured, and the distance from the
ground against n side of the stack
to the ground against the other side
of the stack directly over and opposite
shall be taken in linear feet and in
ches, and then the width shall be sub
~stracted from the measurement over
the stack as above indicated, the re-
suit divided by two and the result so
obtained multiplied by the width and
the result thus obtained multiplied by
the length, which will give the number
of cubic feet contained in the stack,
/ and the tonnage shall %thereupon be
determined by dividing the total num-
Der of cubic feet by the number OF
cubic feet allowed under the provi.
sions of this act for a tOn.
This act shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and
approval by the governor.
