implement for making meat tender
that will be found useful In any fam.
fly, but especially in households that
cannot afford to buy the choicest cuts.
A handle with fork to it has
shaft running through the ends OF
the fork. Revolving on this shaft are
lot of sharp little cutter wheels,
with teeth that will bite through sole
leather. If necessary. When a steak is
found to be too tough the cook can
lay il on the kitchen table before
putting it on to be fried or broiled
and run this implement back and
forth over 1t until the fibers have been
loosened sufficiently to make it tender
There are other devices for this pur
pose, among them hammer with
sharp projections in the head but the
wheels are said to have the advantage
Of penetrating all the way through an
ordinary steak and doing the work
more rapidly

CLEAN HOUSE ALL AT ONCE
Best Way If Family Can Be 5anlshed
--Hints on the Spring
Ordeal.

"The easiest way to clean house is
to do It all at once, turning every
thing upside down having all carpets
taken up at the same time, all the
windows washed in succession. all the
paint scrubbed In one piece OF work.
II the family can be banished, this
plan may be followed, but when the
ordinary business OF the home has to
go on, such drastic measures should
never be practiced The house should
be cleaned room at a time. but be-
fore going to these make an attack
on the closets says Christine Ter
hume Herrick in Woman's Home Com
panion
Devote one day to the china
closet. Take the china and glass out,
put it on a table and scour the
shelves. Have blowgun and inject
insect powder into any cracks or
crevices Of the shelves as a discour-
agement to invading insects. Wipe
or every piece Of tableware before
you put 1t back and discard ruthlessly
broken and cracked pieces.
when you put your china on the
shelves use care in its arrangement
Tall pieces should go at the back, and
SO should piles of saucers and plates
Be careful not to make the piles OF
plates too tall Plates Of delicate
china at the bottom Of stack may
be cracked and broken by the weight
Of the china upon them. Turn the
glasses and tumblers upside down.
Go over the contents Of your side
board, especially the table linen, lay
ing aside such pieces as need mend
ing and are worth it and putting the
hopelessly worn objects aside with
your store or old linen Wipe out the
sideboard drawers and let them get
entirely dry before laying in fresh pa
pers and restoring the linen to its
place. Use the insect powder here,

The Name Cuba.

Cuba is the name by which the is
land was originally known 10 the Lll-
cayan Indians. who were with Colum-
bus when he discovered il. One Of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan. and il is reported that
from the similarity OF sounds Colum-
bus, still supposing himself 10 be on
the coast OF Asia. imagined that ihis
must be city Of Kublai Khan. the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name for Cuba is Il remarkable in
stance of persistence, as the island has
been baptized and rebaptiZed many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called il Juana in honor
of Prince John, the son of Ferdinan nd
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
it was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed TO Santiago, after st. James.
the patron saint Of Spain. Still later
it was named Ave Maria. in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none Of these
names held. and the Indian name is
still preserved.
