CITY SEWAGE.
ShOshOne People Are Learning How
to Dispose of Sewage.

How TO dispose of sewage has BEEN
a problem hard TO solve by the people
Of Shoshone. The only down grade
proposition heretofore visible was the
current of Little Wood river but that
was not available because of the GER
tainly of communicating the water
But no other outlet was in sight, the
town site being surrounded by rising
ground except down the valley of the
river.
But people living over bed of lava
rock that out crops in many places
have long observed cracks and fissures
in the same, sometimes expanding out
to considerable dimensions and even
forming caverns.
No doubt this knowledge led some
person of imaginative mind to suggest
that by boring down into the lava bed
a subterranean opening might he found
capable of carrying off the obnoxious
sewerage and thus give the desired
outlet that had heretofore baffled the
wise men of the community.
At any rate the plan was adopted
by Mat McFall as the question Of sewage
outlet for a big hotel was more imper-
ative than for any other business repre-
sented in the city.
So last winter Mr.. McFall started
the first sewer we'll At depth OF
eighteen feet rock was struck and the
drill was worked in eight feet OF
water. At a depth of sixty feet
from the top, or in AZ feet of rock,
the water in the well sucked down with
rush and the desired opening was
revealed. The well so far has. been
equal to all demands.
Two weeks ago DR.. Baugh start
ed the second well at the rear Of his
drug store and at a depth of fifty feet
an opening was struck that promised
to be ample for all purposes but on
turning the current from the big city
hose into the well the outlet was not
equal to the inflow and the well filed
up. However. on turning off the cur
rent the water in the well rapidly dis
and the probability is that
the well will answer all demands that
may be made upon it for long time
to come.
The machine was then moved across
the street and well started at the
rear of the StockgrOwers establish
ment. At depth of sixty feet an
opening was revealed that carried off
the full current of the Dig city hose
for thirty five minutes without any
symptom of choking.

PLUMEs sTIFFENED WITH WIRE.
New Method Of Keeping Ostrich
Feathers in Position.

Ostrich 2lumes are fastened in an
entirely new way. The dropping ef
fects are not dethroned. but the
straight positions that add so mucn
TO the height of the hat are consid-
cred smarter. and to obtain these the
plumes are stiffened with fine silk
wire.
Another new trimming OF charm
ingly decorative value for spring hats
is IA chou formed of four or five layers
of chiffon Or mousseline in different
light tones. The effect of this filmy
opalescent affair is absolutely delight
ful and nothing more graceful and
dainty could be selected.
Something entirely new and just as
simple as it is pretty is the new era
vat bow used by French modistes for
holding in the desired erect positions
ostrich plumes or brush effect aig.
rettes, and made of velvet or silk
ribbon. This charming and unusually
effective trifie is generally employed
for the new one-side trimming effects
that prevail at present. and it does not
exclude the use of the popular bead
trimming-vogue.

1t without further delay. The general
effect of frock for growing girl, be
she thie or stout. is regulated largely
by the selection of the fabric. The
stout girl should never be encased in
a startling plaid or even a medium
sized check. but both of these are be.
coming to the thin girl.
On the other hand. the very thin girl
should never be dressed in stripes nor
snug-fitting clothes. The thin girl may
wear frock much trimmed with fuzzy

Soft, indefinable mixtures are always
nounced patterns of any sort. A small
conventional figure on single-tone
ground is also better than wide checks
or plaids.
The wash goods this spring are es-
pecially fancy. and it is a wise mother
who turns her back on these gay
stripes, checks. plaids and borders for
her girls 'twixt 6 and 16. Pronounced
patterns of any sort. and especially in
striking colorings, are an extrava-
gance, for they do not wear so well be-
cause of sun and Tubing. as the sim
pier. palmer designs. Then. too. a
child soon tires of the frock that is too
pronounced.
The prettiest white materials for best
wear this season are the figured
Swisses and barred dimities, lawns
and batistes. These require very little
embroidery or lace for trimming. and
are most becoming to girls, both tall
and short. For simpler suits, especial
ly for school or play, there are cotton
voiles, percales. linens and galatea
cloth in light weight and lovely ging-
hams and zephyr cloths.
What is known as the natural tone.
l. e., strong ecru. is much used by
economical mothers because 1t does
not show dirt and does not fade in
washing. II comes in almost all wash
goods, and may be trimmed with
pipings or wash braids of contrast
ing color such as white. brown. red or
blue. Blue-gray chambreys, trimmed
with wash braids or stripes of white
embroidery. remain very good this sea
son.
For afternoon frocks. grenadine de-
signs are shown, and these include
striped muslins and lawns. with a
satin finish in one stripe and a lace
effect in the other.
Unquestionably this remains a sea
son of overblouses and jumpers for
growing girls. and plaits seem to be
more popular than shirrings or ruffies.
For outdoor wraps. cutaways are
shown for girls near 16. but for those
nearer six. the box coat remains in
favor. The newest hats for girls. as
for their mothers. are huge. fiat
crowned sailors trimmed with big
bows or wreaths of flowers. The shape
is extremely trying to both thin-faced
and moon-faced girls.
Brown shoes, ties and hosiery re-
main in style. and the ugly custom OF
wearing white stockings with black
shoes OF ties is dying natural death.
Our illustration shows a surplice
jumper which can be developed In al

yelling. silk or tub material.
The costume from which II was
drawn was made from natural-toned
pongee trimmed with a novelty braid

ART OF THE COOK
PROPER PREPARATION OF MEATS
FOR THE TABLE.
Cheaper Cuts by skilIful Handling
May Be Made as PaIatable as
the Most Expensive-Some
Recipes in Proof.

Roasting, as it is called in this
country, is in reality baking, as the
meat is cooked in the oven. Roasting
proper is where the joint is placed in
a tin kitchen or spit" before the fire.
writes Elizabeth Pyewell.
This latter is the better method. but
as few people have the facilities Tor II
the following recipes hold equally good
for baking. which is considered more
economical, especially for small fami'
lies. as there is less loss OF weight
than in roasting.
Care should be taken that the floor
of the oven is not too hot or the rat
may be burned. which causes an un-
pleasant favor. A great advantage OF
baking is that it requires less atten-
ton than roasting in spit.
The middle ribs and sirloin OF beef
are considered the best cuts for ba'
king. and require careful cooking not
to be burned or overdone. Pieces
weighing from 10 to IL pounds VIII
take quite three hours and half TO
cook in a moderately hot oven.
The chuck rib, brisket and round
are considered by epicures to be in
ferior. but by proper cooking they may
be made almost equal to the more ex-
pensive portions.
Not all butchers cut the meat in the
same way. Occasionally there is so
much of the flank on the sirloin that
1t will cause the meat to dry up In
stead of cooking it.
The operation of baking Is Intended
to loosen the fibers and prepare II for
digestion in the stomach: in this pro-
cess the joint will bear greater and
longer heat than in either boiling or
stewing.
Beef Baked in Forms.-Mince fine
equal quantities of cold roast beef and
tongue. Season well with pepper and
salt and add the whole or part OF a
well-beaten egg according to- the guam
tIty of meat. Mix 1t we'll.
Butter a mold. put in the meat and
press It down hard to acquire the
shape OF the mold. Turn 1t out on a
baking tin. wash over with well-beaten
egg and brown in the oven.
Toad in Hole from Cold Meat
Take some medium thick slices of
cold, underdone beef. season with pep
per and salt.
Make n batter by beating the whites
and yolks separately of four eggs. To
one pint of milk add the yolks of the
eggs and sufficient flour to thicken: (:
lastly. put in little salt and stir In
gradually the whites Of the eggs.
Pour the batter into a deep baking
dish. lay the meat on the top. set In
the oven and bake until brown.
Fiilet Of Mutton.-Take on the
chump end Of loin of mutton and
cover II with buttered paper. Bake
for two hours. but do not allow 1t 10
become the least brown.
Have ready some string beans. boiled
tender and well drained from the wa
ter. Warm them in the gravy. put
them on a dish and serve the meat on
| them.
Roast Beef Tongue-Soak fresh
tongue for several hours in strong
salt and water and drain 1t well. Boil
slowly for two hours. remove the skin
and roast in the oven. While cooking
baste with butter. Serve with currani
/ Jelly.
