Utilizing the Cheaper Cuts Of Meat
 In Palatable Dishes


 When the housekeeper attempts to reduce her meat bill by using the less expensive cuts. she commonly has two difficulties to contend with -touEhness and lack of flavor. l. has been shown how prolonged cook ing softens the connective tissues of the meat. Pounding the meat and chopping it are also employed with tough cuts. as they help to break the muscle fibers As for flavor, the natural flavor of meat even in the least desirable cuts may be deyel- oped by careful cooking notably by browning the surface, and other favors may be given by addition of vegetables and seasoning with con ailments of various kinds
 Methods of preparing inexpensive meat dishes will be discussed and practical directions for them will be given in the following sections. A often happens two or three meth ods may be illustrated by the same dish. but the attempt has been made to group the recipes according to the;r most salient feature
 Prolonged Cooking at Low Heat.
 Meat may be cooked in water in a number of ways without being al, lowed to reach the boiling point With the ordinary kitchen range this is accomplished by cooking on the cooler part of the stove rather than on the hottest part. directly over the fire. Experience with gas stove, particularly if it has q small burn. CT known as 'simmerer," usually enables the cook to maintain tenn pcratures which are high enough td sterilize the meat if il has becom accidentally contaminated in any way and to make it tender without hard would seem to be a neglected uten- sil for this purpose Its contents can easily be kept up to a tempera- ture of 200 degrees F. and nothing will burn. Another method is by means of the fireless cooker. In this a high temperature can be maintain. ed for a long time without the appli cation of fresh heat. Still another method is by means of a closely covered baking dish. Earthenware dishes of this kind suitable for sery ing foods as well as for cooking are known as casseroles. For cooking purposes a baking dish covered with a plate or a bean jar covered with saucer may be substituted The Aladdin oven has long been popular for the purpose of preserving tenn peratures which are near the boil ing point and yet do not reach it It is a thoroughly insulated over which may be heated either by a kerosene lamp or gas jet.
 In this connection directions are given for using some of the toughest and least promising pieces of meat

last night in his dressing room at the

wife are doing a vaudeville sketch this
week. Il haven't any white mans

look for one because it will be a slow
job finding any fighter who can knock
out that black fellow. He knows too
much for any of them about fighting in
the ring. He's a great big strong fell
low and as clever as they make 'em. I
had always thought he was defensive
fighter until I saw him fight Jeffries.
Then 1 saw he's just the opposite and
he's a terror.
Why, he's never been tried out yet
He could have beaten Jeffries in one
round last Summer But no one can
ever convince me jeff wasn't doped. II
he wasn't l never saw a fellow that
was. He didn't know what he was do

Maybe the colored fellow would
have licked him any way, but I think
JEFF would have had a chance if prop

had him in hand for that fight
At this point, Bob's wife tied a tewe
around his neck and placed him il

WATSON VS.. BRYAN.

The Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of
Georgia, challenges the Hon. William
j. Bryan, of Nebraska, to a joint de-
bate, and offers to donate to the
peerless and the "matchless''
$4,000 cash in hand paid, if he will
accept the defiance and come to the
scratch. But the vulgar herd is dis
appointed in the subject selected by
the intrepid Georgia champion-For-
eign Missions. This, we take it, is a
quasi religious issue, and more fit for
the oratory of a clergyman than
statesman. But Mr.. Bryan's lecture,
entitled "The Prince of Peace evil
dences that he is at home in the pull
pit, and entitled to rank as a near
preacher at least. We have never
imagined the Hon. Tom with any
other job than Journalist, historian,
and statesman, though it is possible
that he can also play the role of
Hardshell Baptist preacher.
These two young gentlemen-they
were very young then-frst met as
members of the Fifty-second Con-
gress. Mr.. Bryan adhered to the
Democratic organization; Mr.. Watson
was Populist, though earlier he had
been an e1ector on the Cleveland
ticket. Notwithstanding the Popu-
list strength in that Congress was
mainly from Kansas, Nebraska, and
other Western States, Sockless Simp-
son, about as attractive demagogue
as Congress ever saw, abdicated the

SONG OF THE WANDERING WIND.
BY Sir Edwin Arnold.


I'VE are the voices of the wandering
Which moan for rest and rest can
never fnd
Lo! as the wind is SO is mortal life,
A moan, a sigh, a SOb a storm, a strife.
Wherefore and whence we are We can
not know,
Nor where life springs nor whittier life
doth go;
We are as We are, ghosts from the
inane,
What pleasure have we of our change
full pain?
What pleasure hast thou of thy
ChangeleSS bliss?
Nay, if love lasted, there were JOY in
this;
But lifes way is the winds way, all
Are but brief voices breathed on Shift
ing strings.
20 Maya's son! because we roam the
earth
Moan we upon these strings; we make
no mirth
SO many woes we see in many lands,
SO many streaming eyes and Wringing
hands
'Yet mock we while we wall for, could
they know,
This life they cling to is but empty
'Twere all as well to bid cloud to
stand,
Or hold a running river with the hand.
But thou that art to save, thine hour
is night
The sad world waiteth in its misery,
The blind world Stumbleth on it's round
of pain;
Rise, Maya's child! wake! slumber not
again!
I'VE are the voices Of the wandering
wind:
Wander thou too, Prince, thy rest to
find;
Leave love for love of lovers, for woes
sake
Quit state for sorrow and deliverance
make.
$50 sigh we, passing DER the silver
strings,
To thee who know'st not yet of earthly
things;
So say we; mocking, as we pass away,
These lovely shadows wherewith thou
dost play"
