The cook book tells how to make
use OF the left over corned beef hash:
a slice of toast is sometimes useu
under the hash. This suggests a way
of utilizing a small amount of corn
haaf hash which would otherwise be
insufficient for a meal,
The Department recommends tnat
housewives be generous with their
stufing. Of course you cannot put
shifting into pieces of meat that nave
no Mace for it, but it is we'll if posi-
bic TO cut pocket in the meat and
put the stutting in anyhow.
1T is often WELL" the experts add.
ito prepare more stutting than can be
put into the meat and to cook the re-
mainder in the pan beside the meat
Some cooks cover the extra stuhn2
with buttered payer while it is cook
ing and haste it at intervals
OF course this is only another way
of carrying out that meat flavor ex-
tension idea
The Departments investigators find
stewed shin OF beef very fine dish.
They took four pounds of shin. one
medium-sized onion. one whole clover
and a small bay leaf, one sprig OF
parsley, half tablespoonful OF flour,
one small slice Of carrot, half table,
spoonful of salt. half teaspoonful OF
pepper, two quarts OF boiling water
and one and a half tablespoonfuls OF
butter or savory drippings. All the
ingredients are put into a stew pan
and brought to a boil. Then the pan Is
set where the liquid will just simmer
for six hours. With the butter, -four
and the soup from the bone brown
sauce is made, and to this Is added
the meat and the marrow.

tough meat tender by pounding 1t OF
soaking it in vinegar, how to accen'
tuate the flavor of tasteless meats
how to make good milk gravy for salt
pork, mock venison out Of plain beef
and a kitchen bouquet.

THE FRECkLED BOY.
He Lived Before This Age Of Ped.
auodics But

agogics, But
Where is the schoolbov Of sixty
years ago? Many CT US can still re-
call him sturdy, tough. freckled,
with his hair in tufts and stains be-
hind his ear that await the Satur-
day night wash rag with distrust and
deep hostility. In rural districts he
trudged to school and willingly enough
with dark designs on birds nests and
incautious squirrels In town he
fought his way in triumph CT took
black eyes to show the pedagogue.
He vas a healthy, human boy, and
his stained jacket was protest
against books even though his rag
ged trousers presented no casemate
to the quivering birch. He learned to
spell, If with difficulty at least as eff
fcaciously as the anaemic high
school products of today. He mas
tered the mysterious proposition that
five and FIVE is ten and that seven
subtracted from twenty leaves thir-
teen; he scaled the heights of sim
pie geography, realized that George
Washington had once crossed the
Delaware in comparatively small
boat, and after throwing cCntemptu-
Gus mud at the old schoolhouse went
. back to the farm to stay there or to
make of himself what God had
willed
From this generation the great
men of the land were drawn. The
statesmen, the orators, the Jurists,
the lawmakers, the journalists, the
captain of industry and all the rest
of them issued from that source.
Some of the schools were free, 4
much smaller number was maintain
ed by neighborhood contribution, but
all of them impaired the most primi-
tive knowledge and stopped short Of
decorative Celebrations at the ex-
pense of the property holder and the
taxpayer. Nevertheless, the fruit OF
those ancient institutions will bear
comparison with the high school pro-
ducts of today.
Now we hear that thousands Of dol
lars must be appropriated, from the
public fund CT course, to buy specta.
cles for afflicted, or threatened school
children. We hear that they must
have examining physicians and
nurses and all the arts of sanitation
provided for their use. They have
scared far above the old curriculum.
They are Tearing the New Caesar"
becoming familiar with botany and
astronomy and French dancing, the
use of the globes and modelling in
clay. AS the Hon Champ Clark COM
planned only a week or so ago, "the
education OF our children, at public
expense, be it understood, has
passed into the realm of luxury. What
becomes Of the children so educat-
ed" We do not want to know. The
facts are before US; why pursue the
consequences?
We are getting around to spec
tacles and examining physicians and
nurses, and We see in easy view the
logical benefactions Of overcoats and
wraps free lunches, gum shoes, F."
umbrellas, pensions in the end-who
knows? Let the bloated taxpayer
groan! All this for education. Some
Of us still regret the freckled boy,
but we are old and in the path OF
progress as obstructions.-New York

SWISS WOOD CARVING.
Decline Of an Old Industry Of the Der
nese Overland Republic.

Wood carving, for centuries an I'M
portant national industry in Switzer'
land. has suffered a crisis during the
last year which threatens to affect the
business permanently, following upon
practically a monopoly and long Pc
riod of prosperity. These carvings
have been especially popular with tour
lists, hundreds of thousands of whom
visit Switzerland every year, and
large export business has been estab-
lished with other countries, including
the United States. This is especially
true as to church emblems and articles
representing historic scenes and
events.
An important Swiss wood carving
center is at Einsiedeln, historic VII
lage in the mountain in canton OF Sch
WY, where there is celebrated pill
grimafe. wealthy Benedictine monas-
terry and splendid church. The in
dustry centres in the Bernese Ober-
land, where wood carving is the chief
occupation. The church emblems OF
Einsiedeln, the bears Of Bern, the lion
of Lucerne, the St. Bernard dogs, cows,
and the quaint Swiss chalets are all re-
produced in wood and sold at the curio
shops. The objects have found their
way into practically all Continental
towns, and Swiss wood carvings are
almost as we'll known in other Euro
pean countries as at home.
~ n
uted to the present crisis, among which
is the increased cost of raw material,
much of which is imported, making
it necessary to advance selling prices
without increasing real values. This
has invited competition from other
| countries, especially Austria and Ger
many. Furthermore, Austria, recently
placed a heavy import duty on souven'
| irs, under which wood carvings are
| classified, and in France they must be
stamped imported" which it is al
| legged has affected the sale to such an
extent that the imports from Switzer-
land have been greatly reduced.
The passing of the Swiss wood carv.
! ing industry is further evidence that
industrial progress is gradually elm
mating from the commercial world
| rural industries built up and main
! tanned where wages are small and the
expense of living low. Modern ma.
chinery and methods, increasing com.
petition and the inexorable laws Of
trade are driving out primitive con.
Germs or forcing them into combinar
tons. This is cause for regret, as
many of the people living in the Der.
nese Oberland have for generations
depended upon wood carving for main
tenance. They have acquired grea'
skill in this, and being slow to accept
innovations, it will be difficult FOL
them to adopt new methods.-Fron

Finds Attic Slab.


Word has been received at the
Johns Hopkins University that an
important discovery has Just been
made by DR.. Allan c. Johnson. who
was fellow at the university last
year, and who is now holding q fel
lowship at the American School OF
Classical Studies at Athens. While
pursuing his investigations In the
Acropolls at Athens, DR.. Johnson was
prompted to examine carefully the
stones which compose the retaining
wall OF an ancient cistern, and found
that one OF them had engraved upon
it an inscription which had previous
ly escaped observation, because II
was built into the wall In such .
way that no letters were visible.
When the slab was removed the
Inscription proved to be an Attic de-
cree of 303 B. c., which was enacted
In honor Of Nixon OF Abydos for hav
ing saved Athenians from drowning
in a previous war. This valuable
document, which is thirty lines In
rength and contains historical tnfor
nation hitherto quito unknown, will
be published by the discoverer at an
early date.-Baltimore American.
