HARVESTING A SHARK.

The sharks jaws are pried open to
the fullest extent; a stout eight-foot
spar of tough timber. four inches by
four in cross measurement, is fixed
transversely far back in the angle of

side. A strong rope leading from the
ends OF the spar Is drawn close and
frightened with Glove hitched round
the nsh's tail, behind the wide tall

his enemy.
The clamp of the cruel jaws drives

MINcs PIE IN HISTORY.
Originally a Richly Seasoned Pie OF
Shredded Mutton.

Apropos the Washington decision as
to what constitutes real mincemeat, the
story of the career of the mince pie Is
worth relating. Its sway over the
Christmas affections has been long. for
it's origin is lost i'm the midst OF the
cuisine of the middle ages. In the
literature of the late Tudor times we
often find il referred To under various
names. such as mutton pye, shred
pye, Christmas pye, December pye' as
well as under variations of its present
name. such as minced pie and minct
pye. An English writer of the Seven
teenth century in a Christmas ode
says:
without the door let sorrow lie.
And IL for cold 1t hap TO die
Wen bury II in a Christmas pie
And evermore be merry.
But II is curious now tne contents
OF the mince pie has changed. Origin
ally it's basis was mutton, shredded
or minced. hence 'shred' mutton or
minced" pie. This mutton, in hon
or of the season, was specially nav
ored with various sweets, such as
raisins. currants and spices. The mix
ture was then baked in oblong crusts'
the shape of which was supposed by
some to refer to the manger In which
the Holy Child was laid. This crust
was not inappropriately known by the
quaint name of the coffin" BY de-
grees the proportion Of meat to sweet
meat diminished. and nowadays IL Is
often wholly omitted and the mince-
meat is merely a conglomeration of
currants, raisins and apples, with only
suet to represent the animal world
I'm Puritan days the mince pie fell on
evil days for to the rigid ideas of the
Roundheads.
Plum broth was popsh and mlnce pie
oh, that was fiat idolatry.
In 1647 the Parliament ordained that
the nativity OF Christ should be no
longer observed. Christmas day was
TO be kept just as ordinary days.
Naturally enough this edict caused a
great cutlery among those who did not
hold these ascetic views. and an OK
ford scholar bemoaned that at his hall
"the scholars came into the hall, where
their hungry stomachs had thought tn
have found good brawne and Christmas
pie, roast beef and plum porridge but
no such matter. Away ye profane!
These are superstitious meats. Your
stomachs must be fed with sound doe

WHITE HOUSE EXPENSE.
Mrs. Taft a Good Housewife With a
Practical Turn of Mind.

According 10 the annual report for
the last fiscal year the bills for fuel,
lights and repairs for the white house
amounted TO $4,000. This would
have caused gasp of CONSERVATION
had il been made public in the days of
our fathers says Gas Logic, but today,
with the knowledge of the actual cost
of running a modern palace made ia
mihar to us in countless magazine
and newspaper articles, the sum seems
really moderate.
The white house was for more than
one generation collection of hetero-
geneuos furniture rather than the
harmonious whole which the presi-
dents house was designed to he. For
years every attempt at change i'm its
furniture or methods was howled down
as IL IL interfered with sacred tradi-
tons. There are still some archaic
remnants of former days i'm the state
ly building. but much has been done to
bring il into touch with modern i'm
provements.
The white house kitchen must be
adequate for the demands of state
banquets and other entertainments,
Including the great receptions. The
cooking is done on a large French
range with n ventilating hood over
the top. In the laundry the ironing
is done over gas stoyes-an improve
ment which means more in the white
house than II would mean in city
not blest with semi-tropical' climate
from May To October.
Now every one knows that Mrs.
Taft is a thorough housewife with a
most practical turn of mind. The presl-
dents wife when in Beverly, Mass
does her marketing in person, and
every butcher and grocer in the place
knows when he sees her coming that
Mrs. Taft will be able TO choose exact
Is what she wants out of his stock
If he can suit her; the something
Just as good" will not do for her, not
does she leave il to him to tell her
what she needs.

this effect:

that his remarks were made solely on
