Good Way to Fry Beefsteak

Take an iron spider, half fill it with
warm water and put over a hot fire.
The spider must be very hot before put
ting the steak in it. Whsn the water
boils rapidly pour il of. This heats the
pan evenly and does not burn or crack
il Put over clear fire next until it is
all clear from the water, place the entire
slice of steak in it, but do not put salt
IN il. for it draws out the juice which
should be retained in the meat Cook
rapidly for minute or two then turn
over and cook the other side in the same
manner. After this quick turning turn
back on the first side if you do not like
it rare. and cook until il is done as much
as YOU like, but keep turning every
minute. and on no account let It 'Scorch
or burn. When it is cooked remove
whole 10 the platter. When the steak
is removed YOU may pour hot water into
the pan for gravy. When it is brown.
turn into a small pitcher. as there is not
much Of il, but DO not turn the water
gravy over the steak or you will spoil
il by making it tough. Sprinkle pepper
and salt over the steak and be generous
with the butter, as YOU can afford to be,
since you use none of it to cook with.
For a change render out piece Of
suet after frying the meat. In this fry
some sliced onions until they are brown
rings Arrange these rings around the
steak.

Ii IS safe to say that no other union
club or organization Of any sort applies
quite such heroic treatment 10 undesir-
able citizens as the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers. One thing that the
brotherhood most streuuously insists
upon is that its members shall not drink
Thirty-five members were expelled for
getting drunk in 1900, and their shame
was publicly proclaimed in the journal
The treatment does not stop here. by any
means. The brotherhood will not risk
the lives Of its members and the general
public by permitting drinking man 10

No More Gold Coinage.

If the Treasury Department has its
way there will be no more American
gold coined al the minis. Instead. new
bullion viii be made up into bars Of
standard fneness, on which certificates
viii be issued, as IS now very commonly
the case. The reasons are two-fold-
the use OF gold coin is very unusual and
involves much loss from abrasion when
it does circulate, while il IS now shipped
TO Europe in ever-inCreasing quantities 10
settle balances. with the result that there
IS some tunes a loss. because in. some
instances the limit Of tolerance n the
loss OF weight mas been passed. The
gold bars viii be better, since weight IS
the determining factor in any case.
Doubtless. this will he a shock 70
great many persons, especially those who
think that money is a government stamp
and not an entity, but the world has
taken the other view. Gold by weight
is the standard medium of exchange.
There are some parts Of this country
where gold IS still passed from hand 10
hand, but in the East It Is rare for any
man to handle such a coin unless he
calls for it at his bank. If the certificate
Of deposit with the government IS avail
able that serves every possible demand.

UNCLE SAM HOLDING

Once every year Uncle Sam goes

articles forwarded by the postoffice
department during the last fiscal year,
but which have not been delivered or
called for, an accumulation OF 1891

during this week until all of the pack
ages offered shall have been disposed

cause no one claimed them had been
intended for Christmas presents last
year, but never reached their destina-

some Of his children happy who have
the price to invest in his chance sale
thus combining business with very
praise worthy Christmas spirit.
