DELICIOUS MEAT DISH
POT ROAST OFFERS MOST NUTRI. MENT AND SMALLEST WASTE.
Gan Be Made of the Cheaper Cuts ol Beef With Excellent Results Eye of Beef Is
 Best Cut.

Pot roast is one of the deliciouA meat dishes that can be made Of the cheaper (not the cheapest) cuts ot beef with excellent results. It is a great mistake to imagine that the cheaper cuts of meat are less nutri- tious, the fact being that these offer the most of nutriment and smallest waste. For example, the first ribs of beef contain about 13.6 per cent. pro teid or body building material, and the hindquarter 18.7 per cent. of pro teid material.
 Perhaps it is not fair to call pot roast a cheap dish, because the prices vary sn widely in different localities, and the cuts vary so much. In the vi- cinity of Providence, R. l., for exam ole, our correspondents report prices of 12 to IS cents a pound; in Phila- delphia, IA to 20 cents, and in New York, IS to 22 cents.
 In Providence they sell for pot roast the rump GA to 16 cents), shoul- der (12 to 14 cents), and bottom round GIG to IS cents); in Philadel- phia and vicinity the chuck roast, next to ribs GA cents), shoulder cut GIG to IS cents), and the ribs (1S to 20 cents). In New York City and the west prices are higher and their range is greater. The cuts are bottom round, top sirloin (which is too expensive, as a rule, and requires less cooking), top round and brisket, 16 to 22 cents.
 The eye of the beef is considered the epicurean cut for pot roast. This is a triangular piece of meat taken from the hindquarter between the top and bottom round after the bone has been removed. In the west, pot roast Is often made by cutting vertically through the bottom and top round Gin side round) instead of cutting either the bottom or the top round (inside round) separately, as is done in the east. This top round or part on the Inside of the hindquarter is excep- tionally good for pot roast.
 In different localities the names of beef cuts are entirely different. In some places, for example, the flank is cut so as to include more of the loin, in which case the upper portion is often called the flank steak Some times the rump is called the trump steak; the inside round the top round; the plate, the rattle. Often the cross ribs and brisket are includ- ed together under the name of cross ribs; the forepart of the cross ribs is often called the shoulder clod and the leg underneath the second round is sailed the hind shoulder. Often, too. the socket and rump together are call ed simply the trump. Consequently one must know from what part of the beef the meat should be cut and how it looks. This knowledge must be ac. quired in actual marketing-Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Dry Pumpkin Pie.

Stew pumpkin or squashes as for any ordinary pie, putting a layer about half inch thick in tins and place in warming closet in range to dry. If the pumpkin is stewed till quite dry it will take only a very short time to dry sufficiently to keep all winter. There is no danger of this spelling, as with canned pumpkin. Soak a portion of this dry pumpkin over night in milk; in the morning place in saucepan on stove until hot, stirring occasionally. Mash through colander and proceed as in making any other pumpkin pies. Dry pump kin pies equal those made from fresh or canned pumpkin.

Raisinu Cats for Fur.

Several business men of South Brooklyn are contemplating the incor- poration of a company for the estab- lishment of a novel industry-a cat farm-the first of its kind in the United States. It Is the intention of the men back of the scheme to pur- chase a tract of land out on Long Island about a half mile square and erect several buildings, the whole to be surrounded by a high concrete wall.
 Animals that produce fur for coats, muffs and neck pieces are becoming scarcer each year, and cat skins are much in demand by furriers, who willingly pay good prices for them.

GERMANYS ESPIONAGE
EVERY VISITOR IS UNDER THE
 WATCH OF THE POLICE.
de Must Give Full Account of Him. self and His Intentions-Use of Red Ink Brings Serious Con-
 sequences.

The recent conviction as a spy oi the English lawyer, MT. Stewart, made it clear to everyone who read the ac- count of the trial that German law is very different to our own. How differ ent it requires a visit to Germany to realize Before you have stayed in a German town for week policeman calls. He politely inquires your age, your nationality, and how long you intend to stay. Your answer he notes down in one of the small library of little books which he carries with him.
 If you take a house in Germany you must notify the police; if you move to another you must comply with the same formality. If you hire a servant girl you must purchase yellow blank, and report the fact. When she leaves a green form must be sent to the police stating why she is dismissed.
 If you use the telephone in Ger many you must be careful how you speak to the employees. At Carls- ruhe a gentleman, impatient at long delay, called out: Are you asleep, miss?" and was fined five dollars for offering "an unjustifiable insult" Whatever you do, be careful not to use red ink when writing to the police. The president of the Social Democrat society at Hetschendorf did so, and was summoned and fined for 'inciting the representatives of law to break the peace"
 In all small matters you must exer- else the greatest care, so as not to run the risk of insulting other peo- pie. A certain count von F'riedland had a quarrel with an insurance agent named Joseph Book.
 The count presently summoned the latter, because, as he alleged, the agent stared at him whenever they met, in a manner which revealed hate and contempt" Poor Book was found guilty and fined S10, with the alternative of ten days imprison- ment
 A Berlin iron worker named Will leck got into trouble the other day in a manner incredible to English ideas He was watching fat police uldl CudSS d TlOlOuS o1u the vision of the formers stout legs twinkling along amused him so that he burst into a fit of laughter This was construed as an indictable offense serious scandal-and the unhappy Willeck went to prison for a week.
 The proprietor of widely-known patent medicine took quarter of column in a German newspaper. The publisher was summoned and fined for "bombastic advertisement" It was considered that the advertise ment was too long and that it irritat. ed the readers.
 A German soldier was recently hauled up for the serious offense oi failing to salute his officer in the street For this the punishment is two months imprisonment. He plead. ed that he was short-sighted, and al once was sentenced to an extra fort nights confinement for failing to re port his ondition-London Tit-Bits.

HOW MONEY IS DESTROYED
Various Processes Were Tried on Bank Notes by the German Im-
 periaI Printers.

As the great difficulty which most people meet with in regard to bank notes is that of being able to keep them, it will probably come as a sur prise to many to learn there are yet others for whom the difficulty is how to get rid of them. The difficulties en- tailed in destroying such paper are well illustrated in a very interesting article upon paper destruction by the German imperial printers, the Kansas City Journal says.
 The methods previously available were three-burning, boiling and pulp Ing. In the first process 1t has been found that even where a special fur nace has been used it has not infre- 1uently happened that while the outer parts of packets were destroyed some of the contents were not even singed. In the case of stamped or gunnmed pa- per the matter was still worse, for the packets baked together into solid blocks, the interiors of which were quite intact.
 In the second process the paper for destruction is placed in iron boilers; lye is added and the contents then sub iected to the prolonged action of steam. As a destructive process for small quantities this is quite effectual, as is also that of pulping, a process In which the paper is cut up by revolv- Ing knives in water.
 In both of these cases there is, how ever, another dif1culty-that of dispos- Ing of the product. It cannot easily be sold, 1t will not pay to transport and on hand the sodden, stodgy mass quickly goes bad
 The German imperial printers there fore decided to try new way-grind- Ing it up dry. To this end they in- stalled forty horse power mill, which by process of hurling, crushing and tearing reduces the paper to an almost powderlike form, in which 1t passes through a sieve into a collecting cham Der beneath the mill ready for pack Ing.
 This, however, was accompanied by very objectionable feature, especially when dealing with gummed paper in the grinding. Such dust was created that though the workmen engaged wore protectors, it yet persistently filled and blocked their eyes and nos trils.
 As the work of packing was on this account not only unhealthy, unwilling. ly performed and also uneconomical efforts were made to find some me chanical means of doing it. Difficulty after difficulty arose.
 Among such may be mentioned that 3 spiral feeder having been devised it was found that the paper would some times form into balls solid as blocks of wood, which defed the efforts to move them by the 20 horse power mo tor. I
 The imperial printers, therefore, are now to be congratulated upon possess Ing machine perfect in it's kind. It takes the paper, grinds it up to any size desired and bags it.
 Finally, though, the paper in this form fetches but little on account of It's consequent shortness of fiber, the mill is yet not only paying off the in- itial outlay, but is also saving some S260 a year in workmen's wages.

That is all Mr.. Fielder had to say
on the subject, and so far as can be
seen no material changes in condi-

Fielder leaves a loophole and it is
possible something might happen
which would lead him to change his

Conditions are Different From
-Four Years Ago

Washington, D. c., May 9.-Beforc
the democratic national convention as
sembles in Baltimore to nominate can
didates for president and vice presi-
dent there should be careful study
of the electoral votes of the seyera
states. The new apportionment I'M
der the census of 1910 increases the
electoral vote from 4S3 to 532. There
fore, the successful candidate for pres
ident must receive at least % more
votes than the number which would
have been sufficient in 1908. At the
last election 242 electoral votes would
have elected. At the coming election
it will require 267.
I The democratic convention will nat
urally look for a candidate who has
the best chance of getting 267 votes,
At the last election Mr.. Taft got 321
votes and Mr.. Bryan 1862. Two of Mr..
Taft's votes came from Maryland, but
exclusive of Maryland, the states
which voted for the republican candi'
dates four years ago will cast 35l
votes at the next election. In states
carried by Mr.. Bryan in 1908, includ-
ing Maryland, ia votes will be cast
in the coming election. Adding TO
these the three votes from Arizona,
we have III Conceding III certain
democratic votes, the party must gain
90 votes in order to succeed Where
are they to be had? New York, In
diana and Ohio have 81 votes. These
states must be carried and one addi-
tional either New Jersey or Connec-
ticut.
In the days before 1900 the demo-
Gratis could win with New York, In
diana and Connecticut. But that is
no longer possible. They must carry
Ohio and New Jersey or get the same
electoral votes elsewhere. New York
has not voted for a democratic presi-
Dental candidate since it voted for
Cleveland 20 years ago. That year
Cleveland carried Illinois, Indiana,
New Jersey. Michigan, New York,
West Virginia, Wisconsin and one vote
in Ohio,

cratic party. The congressional cleo
