and this can only be accomplished by
a more or less thorough knowledge
of the various cuts of meat, the loca-
ton, and their values as blood and
tissue builders for the human system.
Beef, lamb and mutton form the
staples Of meat diet, and as beef is
consumed in the greatest quantity,
it has been thought advisable to pre-
pare the illustration on this page,
marking it off as a chart. So much
attention is paid to-day to scientific
cooking, and there are so many ways,
through the magazines and papers,
for the average woman to keep her
self informed, that it is inexcusable
for any except the most inexperienced
housekeeper not to have an intelli-
gent knowledge of the choice and in
ferior cuts of meat. Few housekeep-
ing articles, however, touch on the
very important subject of meat, that
is, in its initial stage, or from point
where the butcher cuts it into large
sections to be set aside until special
cuts are taken from each. The ac-
complaining illustration, therefore,
will prove most interesting to the
woman who wishes to add to her
store of knowledge on this subject

PRESSED HARD
COfTee's Weight ON Old Age.


When prominent men realize the
injurious effects Of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their tes-
timony for the benefit Of others.
A superintendent OF public schools
in one Of the southern states says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er, had been troubled with her heart
for a number OF years and complained
Of that weak all over feeling ana
sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an
oficial visit to distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. noticed
. somewhat peculiar favour OF the
coffee, and asked him concerning 1t.
He replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was 50 pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, / bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were so well
pleased with 1t, that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after us
ing Postum for a short time, she felt
so much better than she did prior TO
its use, and had little trouble with
her heart and no sick stomach; that
the headaches were not SO frequent,
and her general condition much i'm
proved. This continued until she was
as well and hearty as the rest Of US.

Self Criticism.

This story is not actually vouched
for as true, but
A little while ago Jones managed
to get a splendid record Of his own

going while the parrot was in the
room,

NO PERFORATED COINS.
Americans Do Not Like the Chinese Idea Of
Money With Hole in It.

the mint authorities took pains to de-
sign coin that would answer all re-
quirements. These pieces were struck
with both the pierced and perfect
centres in silver, copper, nickel, and
composition metal, and embraced al
together six varieties, without count
ing the various metals None of the
designs met the favor Of the Govern
ment authorities, and none were is
sued for circulation. AS they were
struck in considerable numbers they
now bring but small premium,
which ranges from 81 upward.
In 1852 was struck the only gold
half dollar ever produced at the Uni
ted States mint. Notwithstanding
the general impression, the gold
ifty-cent pieces with which people
are familiar were not an issue of the
United States, but were manufac-
tured by California jewellers. The
1852 gold half dollars had perfora-
ton in the centre and the diverse
showed a wavy circle around the per-
foration, with the inscription uni

border. The reverse was blank. The
coin was exactly half the weight of
the dollar This half dollar is known
only in gold, and one Of the two spec

Music Leaf Turner.

Among recent patented devices is
an ingenious apparatus for turning
the leaves of music, designed by a
Pennsylvania man. Numerous at
tempts have been made to devise a
music leaf turner, but none has as
yet proved practical. At least we do
not see orchestras or bands using any
of them. The one shown in the illus
tration certainly seems practical in
every way. At the same time its OPP

The recent issue by the German
Government of twenty-pfenhig
piece with a perforation in the CEN
tire recalls the various efforts which
have been made in this country to
popularize this oriental notion. They
have been numerous, but for some
reason the coins never we're In favor.
The first United States coin to show
a perforated centre was a gold dol
lar issued in 1910. 1t had square
hole in the middle of the planchet,
which was the forerunner of the gold
dollar issued by the United States
mint in 1849. This coin was issued
only in gold, and was engraved, not
struck from dies. Specimens are now
held at premium of $40 or more. The
next United States coin with a perfor-
ated centre was struck at the Phila-
delphia mint in 1850, and was of the
denomination of one cent. 1t was
about the size of the bronze cent now
in use; at the time of its issue the
large, old fashioned copper cent was
still in general circulation.
The designer reasoned that by
means of the perforation persons
would be able by the touch to distin-
guish in the pocket the cent from the
dime, and the coin received the name
Of ring cent" Another perforated
cent in 1850 showed two rings in the
field, with the words, Gent One
Tenth Silver" The reverse showed
an olive wreath around the perfora-
ton, and the words United States of
America" There were several other
varieties of this coin, showing that

President Taft may have an opportu-
nifty to inspect the vessels. The Pres
ident is good sailor and is especially
fond of the navy, SO that 1t is not un-
likely, when the fleet Is so close to his
Summer home, that he will take 1t
up for inspection.
Following the cruise OF the New
England coast. the fleet will return to
Hampton Roads, Aug. 8, where the
ships will coal. Five days later the
fleet again will steam to the southern
drill grounds, where record target
practice will begin.
This is as far as the program
goes, but it is intimated that the ships
will remain at sea, in home waters, OF
course, until far into the Autumn in
order to prove their seaworthiness. 1t
is not yet definitely settled whether
the torpedo flotilla will accompany the
battleships on its cruise to the South,
but 1t is believed the general board
will recommend that the two types OF
vessels drill in company for the bet
terment Of both.

LITERARY WORLD

Coincident with the retirement Of

tie book by DIR. Eugen Kuehnemann,
professor Of philosophy in the Univer-
sity Of Breslau, on Charles w. Eliot.

10, 1S69-May 10. 1909" His study
of DIR. Eliot's work is marked by the
thoroughness OF plan and detail that
characterize the work OF German
scholars.
The first chapter describes in brief
the college at the time Of DR.. Eliot's
inauguration and then follows an ac-
count of the expansion OF the elective
system in college development, and
OF the growth of the professional
schools into branches OF the first real
university in America. Professor
kuehnemann then takes up Dr. Eliot >

Although much has been published
during the last few months on DR.. Ell
lot and his work, 1t has been of a
journalistic character and no one has
undertaken to put into book form a
thoughtful. careful and dispassionate
study of the influence of Haryard's
great president on American educa-
ton. Professor Kuehnemann has
been for two terms exchange profess
sor at Harvard. as arranged for By

point of view Is especially interesting.
