TO DISTINGUISH THE
VARIOUS CUTS OF BEEF


1t is as essential that house
keeper be instructed in everything
pertaining to the various branches Of
her Homework as tits indispensable
for man to be efficiently equipped
for the particular business which he
follows every day of his life. To her
is given the care of the home, and
not the least important part Of this
Is it's finances. One of the most i'm
portant points in this regard is that
the housewife should market econom-
ically. This does not mean buying
on a cheap scale-anyone can do that
but judicious purchasing of all
requisite articles. The most econom-
ical buyer is the one who gets the
greatest returns for the least ex-
penditure, and these returns should
be in quality even more than in
quantity.
AS meat forms the greater share of
any one food, and as its cost generally
averages the highest, it behooves the
housekeeper to look we'll to her meat
bills. If these are larger than she
would wish to have them, nothing but
sagacious buying will reduce them,

BAD LIGHTS AT ANNAPOLIS ACADEMY.
Naval Cadets Weak Eyes ExpianeCa---Systen1 t.
Be Changed Before Term.

Washington, D. C.-Officials of the
Navy Department are now thoroughly
aroused over the physical condition
of the cadets at Annapolis. Their
showing, as compared with the cadets
at the Military Academy, suffers Sc
verely. Failing eyesight and heart
troubles have become so frequent that
the special board now at work to as
certain the causes has been reinforced
by the addition of Surgeon-General
Rixey.
The board is still pursuing its in
vestigation, but the members already
have reached the conclusion that the
lighting system at the Academy is to
blame for the failure in eyesight. The
lights in the Naval Academy lack
certain color rays. making the lamps
give out binding glare of white
light so intense as to be highly injur-
ious, Secretary Meyer announced
that the whole system would probably
be changed before the next class en-
tiers.
The cause of the increase in heart
trouble is puzzling the board, how
ever. The young men successfully
pass rigorous examination before
entering the Academy, and some OF

CADETS GET DIPLOMAS
Secretary Dickinson Compliments

Grand Wind-Up of Four Years Hard

West Point, N. Y-The class CT

ticeable that some of the shouted
"good-bys" and "good-lucks" were a
trife husky and chokyy and the hand
clasps were almost immoderately
tight.
1t was the grand wind-up of four
years work for the youths, four years
of mighty hard work, too, they will
tell you. But then, too, it was the
end of four years of pleasant associa-
lions under pleasant conditions fur
nished by kindly Government, years
studded with close friendships. So
not even the treasured diploma, not
even the presence of proud parents,
beaming sisters and adoring younger
brothers-not even the presence of a
bevy of the pretty girls who seem to
grow especially for army graduations
and West Point-Annapolis football
games, could quite blot out little
feeling of melancholy as the train
came pounding into the station.
The presentation of diplomas took
place according to the general merit
of the graduates. Stuart c. Godfrey,
of Milford, Mass, headed the list.
Secretary Dickinson, when the cheer
ing which, followed the calling of Ca
Diet Godfrey's name had stopped,
grasped the young mans hand warm

obligations by reason of having stood
at the head of his class during his
four years at the academy.

and your country will expect great
things of you" said the Secretary.
Then, as his name was called, each
cadet stepped to the platform and

A Generous Soul.

At railway station of certain
Alabama town number of passen-
gers, who were waiting for train
long overdue, had distributed them
selves on the platform, their feet
hanging thereover.
Presently there came along ma

rope in his hand. 1t subsequently

stray mule. He came out of the bush
opposite the station and stood for
some time looking up and down the
tracks. Then he directed his gaze to
the grour of waiting passengers on
the platform with their feet hanging
over He regarded them lstlessly
for quite while, then suddenly he
called out:
Hey, there! You ALL"
What is it?" demanded some one,
startled by the sudden cry.
Hist your feet!"
This injunction to "h'ist" was COM
piled with by all with alacrity, for,
as they looked down over the plat
form, they perceived big rattle
snake just coiling for strike. A
handy grindstone was dropped on the
reptile, despatching it, of course, and
one of the men thanked the native
for his timely warning.
The latter smiled grimly. 81 don't
s'pose I deserve much thanks" he
said, "but some men who have lost a

Vicario, One of the Prisoners, Be-
lieved to Have Been Connected
With Petrosino's Death -- Evil
dence of Money Sent to Italy.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Detectives are
gathering evidence against the Black
Hand band which was rounded up in
Columbus and Marion, Ohio, and it is
expected that operations in nearly
every large city in the United States
and ramifications of the Secret Serv-
ice in Italy will be laid bare.
In addition to the arrest of four
Sicilians in Marion, Columbus and
Dennison, Joe Botella and Sam Rizzo
were taken into custody in Marion.
Those arrested were Sam Lima, said
to be the ringleader of the gang in
the United States, and Joe Rizzo in
Marion; Antonio Marsisi in Dennison
and Tony Bicherio in Columbus.
These arrests were made on letters
sent to John Amicon, wealthy fruit
dealer of Columbus, Ohio. The in
spectors state they have evidence
showing that room in the rear of a
little fruit store in Marion, conducted
by the Rizzos, was the headquarters
of the society in this country, and
they found in safe there letters
which throw light on many successful
attempts to extort money from
wealthy Italians in Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania and other States.
There is no doubt that the Black
Hand, with its headquarters in Ma
rion, Ohio, has its branches in Chi
cago, Pittsburg and other cities, and
also in Italy," said Chief Postoffice
Inspector Holmes. 1--WE have abso-
lutte evidence that a division meeting

ganized that they meet and vote on

tortion on somewhat of a business
basis"

Judge Shelton continued: Most
good women have some spirit, and
they can't help showing it once in a
