Almost any bones can be used in soup making
and if the meat is not all removed from them the
soup is better But bones especially rib bones
If they have little meat left them, be griled
roasted into very palatable dishes. The 'sparerb
of Southern cooks is made of the rib bones from a
of pork, makes a favorite dish when well
Drowned The praised ribs served high
class restaurants often made from bones from
rib roasts
Trimmings from may be utilized in various
made Dishes they always be put to good in
the soup kettle 1t is surprising how many economies
may be practiced in such ways also in the
use of leftover portions of cooked meat if attention is
given to the matter.
Meat pies represent another method of combining
flour with They are ordinarily baked fairly
deep DISH the sides of which may may be lined
with dough. The cooked meat into small pieces,
is put into the dish. sometimes with small pieces of
vegetables is poured the meat, the dish
Is covered with layer OF dough- and then baked Most
commonly the dough is like
ofartar biscuit but sometimes shortened pastry dough-
such is made for pies, it This is especially
the in the fancy individual dishes usually called
pates Occasionally the pie is covered with potato
crust, in which the meat is put directly into the
dish without lining the latter. Stewed beef
chicken probably frequently used in pies,
any kind of meat may be used several kinds

Chopping meat is of the principal methods of
making tough inexpensive meat tender. In broil-
ing chopped meat the fact should kept mind
there is reason why it should not be cooked like
the best and most expensive tenderon To begin VITA
the broiler should be carefully creased
for whole steak. This makes it possible form the
balls cakes of chopped meat with very little
without running the risk of having them pulled to
pieces by adhering TO the broiler They should be
heated both sides quickly than the steak
because the chopping has provided ways of
for the juice and these openings should be sealed

Chopped meat of almost any kind be very
quickly made into a savory dish by cooking it with
water with water and milk for a short time, then
thickening with butter and -four and adding different
seasOnngs reshed, either pepper salt alone
onion juice, celery tomato. Such dish may be
made to go further" by serving it toast with

A REAL ROMANCE.


The saying that there is honor
among thieves suggests the thought
that if the virtue began little further
back it might prevent any practice
of the profession However, brigand-
age being an established fact, one may
permit himself to admire the gallan-
try displayed by the bandit whose eX-
plot is described by Andrew F. Crosse
in his book, Around About the Car
pathians."
A certain lady, the widow of
wealthy man of title, inhabited lone
ly castle not far from the route be-
tween Buda and Vienna. One morn
ing she received polite note request
ing her to provide that night at 10
o'clock a supper for twelve gentlemen.
She knew at once the character Of
her self-invited guests, and devised a
novel mode of defense. She dared not
send for aid, for she knew every road
between the castle and any town would
be watched to prevent communication,
so she made her own plans.
At 10 that evening up rode an arm
ed band of twelve. The great gate of
the outer court was thrown open as Ii
for an honored guest. The lady her
self, richly dressed, stood at the en-
trance to receive. She at once selected
the chief, babe him welcome, and gave
orders that the horses should be well
cared for. Then, taking the arm of
the chief, she led the way to the din
ing-room.
A goodly feast was spread on the Ia
Bile, and the sideboards were covered
with a magnificent display Of gold and
silver plate.
The leader of the robber band start
ed back in surprise, but recovering
his presence Of mind, he calmly seat
ed himself by his hostess.
When the meal was nearly finished,
the chief took out his watch.
Madame" he said, "the happiest
moments of my life have always been
the shortest l have another engage

moving pawns upon a chess board
eff" said the late Cesare Lombrosa,
the famous criminologist who studied
her, "the Countess actually conceived,
planned and carried out the tragedy
which resulted in the murder of Count
Kamaroysky, she is the most remark
able criminal Of modern times. Her
methods show an absolute mastery Of
masculine sentiment, passion and COW
etousness. Her presumed idea of hav-
ing one lover Stay her husband, and
then having another lover dispatch
him so as to prevent him from becom-
ing her accuser is absolutely original
The crimes of the Borgias and of the
Strozzi offer no parallels.
Her antecedents must have been
very remarkable, for it is unusual for
one of criminal procliyities to plan so
rational conspiracy that it's execu-
ton would have been accepted by the
public without question. Had her law
yer, Prilukoff in the first instance, not
so elaborated his defense as to have
aroused suspicion, and had the assas-
sin, Naumoff, been killed as planned,
or had the confessions of the Countess

and Prilukoff not been shown him, he
would undoubtedly have committed
suicide, as the Countess had foreseen.
On learning that she had betrayed
him, the desire, which could only be
attained by living, naturally possessed
his mind, thus diverting his Unborn
homicidal tendency from suicide"
Countess Tarnovsky is 80 years old
She had been noted always for the
charm of her conversation, her ability
as linguist and her skill as a must
clan, as well as for her physical allure
ment. She is rarely beautiful Five
feet nine in height, but of a graceful
and supple figure, she is of majestic
poise and carriage. Her green-black
eyes under their heavy lids are soft
and insinuating Her white, smooth
brow is crowned by mass of brownish
black hair which CLEANS golden bronze
in sunlight. In a word, the Countess
is a human heiroglyph, seeming to re-
flute all theories of physiognomy. Her
face is not, in any faint suggestion, an
index of her character. She might be
taken for a madonna, but never for
murderess.

The famous *hoboes' retreat of
Salisbury, conducted for many years
by Mr.. and Mrs. John Pike of this
town, is no more, because these benev-
client persons have moved from the
farm made famous by its mammoth
barn, which was given up to the use
of the wayfarer.
For many years the Pixies lived near
the railroad station in Salisbury, says
New York Herald correspondent,
and on their farm was a large
barn where hay was stored Years
ago tramps started coming to this
barn, and as they were never turned
away they kept on coming. Never
did a tramp who had stopped in the
barr over night go away without a
substantial breakfast, and it is esti-
mated that hundreds of tramps have
been fed by Mr. and Mrs. Pike.
I'VE did not like to turn them
away" said Mrs. Pike, for they were
somebody's sons"
The fame of the barn has Travelled
far and wide, and tackled to the large
door is a card written by some moth

famous tramp barn of Massachusetts,
and wrote to Mrs. Pike, asking her to

In the large door a hole was sawed
out by Mr.. Pike, so that tramps who
came late at night could reach through
and unlock the door without trouble.

The trial in Venice OF Countess
Tarnovsky, known as ''the enchan-
tress,' on the charge of being a con-
spirator in the plot that killed Count
Kamarowski, her second husband, a
wealthy Russian noblenan, has monoD-
olized public attention there. Maria
is a woman of remarkable beauty. yet
she has been compared to The YAM
pire" in Kipling's poem of that name.
Her past is filed with death, broken
hearts, wrecked lives and ruined
homes She has been the direct cause
Of the murder of two men. Two ether
men for love of her stand in peril of
life Imprisonment Italy there is no
capital punishment. She is beautiful
enough to have sat as the model for
the vampire in Burne-Jones famous
painting. She is cold and heartless
enough to have inspired Kiplings
poem.
Other persons on trial with the en-
chantress" were NJ. Prilukoff, a law
yer; DR.. Naumoff, Russian student
and Elsie Ferries, maid to the coun-
cused of having slain the nobleman.
The prosecution asserted that the
countess having fascinated Count Ka-
marowski, married him, and persuad-
ed him to insure his life for 100000
and will the insurance to her, enticed
NaumOff to shoot him. 1t is alleged
that both Naumoff and Prilukoff were
among the many lovers of the ZEN
chantress." Prilukoff acted as her
lawyer when she was divorced by
Count Tarnowski, and he is said
to have fallen under her spell at first
sight. He is now 81 and the countess
is 81. Naumoff is 81 The court in
which the trial was held is in the
tribunal of st. Mark, which overlooks
the Grand canal and a police gondola
was used daily in conveying the pris-
oners to and from the courtroom.
Through the windows Of their cells the
prisoners could catch glimpse of the
columns of the piazetta, the arcaded
facade of the Doges' palace, and the
domes Of San Marco.
The story of which the trial was the
climax is one of the most romantic in
the history of crime. It reads like a
tale from the days Of the Borgias. Poe,
Gaboriou or Conan Doyle never wrote
more intricate or fascinating mys-
terry. 1t was claimed that the Machi-
avelian plot was conceived in the cum
ming, murderous brain of the woman
Her subtlety, her consummate art as
an actress, her plots within plots, the
diplomacy she displayed in playing off
one of her lovers against the other
