Pretty Hiuh Hills.

A distinguished astronomer once
took the trouble to measure in several
paintings the size of the moon and to
deduce from it the height of the noun
tains shown in the same picture He
found that the average height of the
hills was about forty three miles. while
one giant peak raised its head more
than hundred miles above sea level.
Turner. who was one of the greatest
masters of landscape composition and
coloring. frequently exaggerates the
height Of his hills with the intention OF
comforting upon them a majesty which
otherwise they would not possess.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
THE TREADMILI AS A PUN
ISHMENT.
BY A. w. MACY.

The treadmlll is a Chinese
invention, but In 1918 William
cubbitt Of England adapted the
idea In making a machine for
employing prisoners usefuIIy.
1t was widely adopted and ex-
tensiveIy used for some years in
tho English prisons. In 1923
the Society for the Improvement
of Discipline In Prisons publish
ed a book with elaborate illus
tratlons describing the tread
mill and setting forth Its ad-
vanta9es as medium Of prison
discipline. At first the prison
ers were required to tread the
mill nine hours a day, which
meant a climb OF about 10000
feet. This was found too Sc
we're, and the hours were re-
duced to six and the climb to
about 5000 feet a day The
power thus generated was us
uaIly employed in grinding corn,
drawing water, etc. Public
opinion has gradually brought
about the abandonment of the
treadmili as a punishment for
prisoners. In 1895 there were
thirty-nine still In use. In Eng
iish prisons, in 1901 only thir-
present. This form of admins
tering discipline to prisoners
was never introduced In this
country.

LONELINESS.

LONELINESS.
There are those who dread to be
alone for as much as half an hour at
one time.
Which Is a sad confession.
One must greatly be lacking in men
tai resources who cannot entertain
himself.
On the other hand
To most of us, think. comes. every

to be alone, not merely for half an
hour, but for half day or longer.
To be sure. no one liveth to himself.
and there is great need of human fell

diversion and change.
But
One who has cultivated the habit of

PROPER USE OF FATS
FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT USES.
Home Rendering Of Suet and Beef
Lard Always to Be Recommended
Economy Practeed by the
German Housewife.

Fats that are derived from the
cooking Of bacon, ham, chicken. beef
and other meats should be kept, each
in its own receptacle, to be used for
different purposes.
Home rendering Of both suet and
leaf lard has its advantages, because
the product is generally superior TO
what can be bought for the same
price.
Both suet and leaf lard require
cooking in order to loosen the fat
from the tougher membrane that
holds it. For this purpose the mate
rial Is cut into small pieces and Gov
cred with water and allowed to cooB
slowly for some time until no more
water remains.
A better method for suet is that
used by German housewives. who
economic on butter by the use OF beef
fat more than do American housekeep'
ers. The suet is cut in small pieces
and covered with water, in which 1t Is
allowed to soak for day, the water
being changed once in the time. Ii
Is then drained, the scrap has turn
ed to light brown. and put into an
iron kettle with one-half teacup OF
skinned milk to every pound OF the
suet. 1t should be cooked very slow
ly until the sound of boiling entirely
ceases.
When Il has partly cooled 1t should
be carefully poured of. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and IN
many recipes may be substituted for
part Of the butter. Some cooks add
a pound of leaf lard to four or five
of the suet; this makes a softer fat
as lard has a lower melting point than
beef fat.
An old-fashioned method Of clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooled meats, 80 that 1t may be used
In the kitchen, is to add the cold fat
to liberal quantity Of cold water
then heat slowly and let cook for an
hour or more. When cold, the cake
of fat is removed and the lower por

before using a casserole for the frs,
time. 1t is well to temper it; this Is
best done by covering 1t with cold
water. Then letting the water come
to the boiling point, remove from the
fire, and let the casserole remain In
the water until 1t is cold.
Under no circumstances let the cas-.
serole be put on the stove without
water or fat in it; If this is done the
dish will crack.
Avoid sudden changes of tempera
turn with the casserole; that is, do no,
take 1t from the hot stove or oven
and place 1t in cold water or in a
wet sink; this will prove disastrous
to the dish.
Casserole cooking requires only
moderate heat: If something is being
cooked in the casserole at the same
time that intense heat is required
for something else, take the precau
