Roast beef stew-Cut the tender. lean
portion Of the remains of a roast in inch
dice, and set aside with the best of the

them in a stewpan with the bones, which
you have carefully reserved for this pur-
pose. Cover with cold water and simmer
very slowly for several hours, then
strain; If there is sufficient time chill and
remove the fat from this stock. 1t is to
be remembered that, while sauces and
graVies can be made with a foundation of
water, a good stock gives a richer, better
result. In a stewpan melt enough OF the
reserved fat to yield two or three table
spoonfuls. Add two scant tablespoonfuls

direction. Everything is provided that is
considered an absolute necessity OF de-
cent living-even to the tooth brushes.
The school luncheon movement, which
also was organized by Miss Kittredge, is
so firmly established now that It is hard
TO realize that only a few years ago the
idea was considered revolutionary. Miss
kittredGe began with Scent luncheon.
She has modified it by making II an a la
carte affair, with each item costing a
penny. In this way a child can have
more range of choice and can spend
more than 3 cents, II he happens to be
so fabulously rich as all that.
Miss Kittredge says that people ask
her whether the model fats do not make
the girls and women who visit them dis
satisfied with their own homes To these
questions her reply is prompt and de-
cided. She does not want them to be
satisfied with their present homes. She
wants them to demand better living con-
ditions from the landlords and to de-
serve these better conditions by keeping
their homes clean and orderly.

Endeavor to Do All the Good You

"Endeavor to do all the good you can

Evangelist ]. D. Wright, of the People.
Pulpit Association OF New York, gave the
foregoing resolution to the Washington
Temple congregation Cnon-sectarian) in
New Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon
as perhaps the best the Christian can
make for the new year.
The evangelist was discussing "Startins
the Year Right" declaring: Lay this res
olution before your Creator in prayer and
ask for power from on High that you
may live each day in true emulation of
Christ's example while on earth of go
ing about doing good "
The religious discussions going on
throughout the world as to the relative
merits OF the teachings OF this and that
denomination were deplored by the
evangelist who urged his hearers to do
all in their power to impress on those
about them the great need for less of
such discussions and more Of the living
the life as Christ showed should be led,
IL eternal life is to be gained.

JAPANESE NAPERY.

Have you ever tried the experiment of
using Japanese napery, Mrs. Young
housekeeper? OF course you've often
seen the ten-yard bolts of twelve-inch
wide coarse white cotton printed with a
bird, flower. or butterfly design in Can
ton blue. But do you know that, one of
these bolts may be cut into two sets of
yard and half strips. and that these
placed-one lengthwise and two crosswise
on your dining-room table, do quite as
well as the conventional cloth and are
only half the trouble to handle and to
launder? For breakfast and luncheon,
napkins may be made from squares cut
from the bolt, and while these will not
do for dinner, white serviettes go nicely
with the Japanese soaring.
Different housekeepers have different
ways OF finishing the raw ends of the
scarfs. They may be hemmed like the
ordinary napkin. hemstitched, or trimmed
with short white cotton fringe. After
many launderings, the blue of the print
ing may fade a triie, but II will never
become ehabby-lookinE.

THE WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
Dec g. 1S63Many Catholic Sisters Were Distinguishing Themselves by
Deeds of Heroic Devotion Mnteng Sick Wounded Soldiers
Both Federals and Confederates.
written expressly for The Herald1

Fifty years ago today many Catholic
sisters were distinguishing themselves by
leeds of heroic devotion in ministering to
sick and wounded soldiers, both Federals
and Confederates.
These women of the Catholic Church
had led lives having much in common
with those of soldiers-community of
spirit, common rations, organization, re-
spect for authority, and prompt obedi-
ence, which made them ready to respond
to the first call of duty in the civil war.
The orders which devoted themselves
particularly to aiding the soldiers were
the Sisters of Charity, the Sisters Of the
Holy Cross, the Sisters of st. Joseph, and
the Sisters of Mercy. Many others whose
duties held them in other spheres helped
in various ways from a distance, by send
ing useful contributions to hospitals, and
by aiding distressed families OF soldiers.

The first band, under Mother Angela,
who was Miss Elizabeth Gillespie, first
cousin Of Hon. James G. Blaine, reached
Cairo on October "a. 1861, and was re-
ceived with courtesy by Gen. Grant, who
commanded there.
This first band took charge of the hos
pital at Paducah. In November Mother
Angela received a dispatch from Wash
ingtOn ordering her to open the hospital
at Mound City. She telegraphed to St
Mary's. Notre Dame, Ind, for sisters
and with a young girl for a companion,
she started at once. This hospital, open
ed in a large, unfinished block of ware
houses, became one Of the finest in the
military service At times it accommo-
dated from 1,O0O to 1.4Oo patients
Not infrequently the sisters, including
Mother Angela, slept on the floor.

February 1862, many dreadful sights
were witnessed here. Some of the wound

The Sisters of st. Joseph also served in
the Church Hospital of Harrisburg and
in that improvixed at Camp Curtin, out
side the city, where they remained In
devoted attendance on the sick soldiers
until the camp was broken up. Later
on in the war, the Sisters of st. Joseph
from Philadelphia were in charge Of GER
tain hospitals at that city, which re-
ceived wounded men from the battlefields
of Virginia.
The Sisters Of Mercy also served in the
hosnitals and prisons. One Confederate
prisoner in Fort Lafayette wrote to his
sister in Charleston, S. C., that sister
Mary Paul had been to see him, and
that she visited the prison twice week,
adding, $50 you see 1 am not without

she will recover from the paralysis, but

FIRE THREATENS THREE HOTELS
Boston Hostelrfes Endangered by

Boston, Dec. 2s-Three of Boston's
largest hotels, the American House, the
Quincy House, and the Crawford House
were simultaneously threatened thi:
morning by a fire in the sixth story oi
a building at 1875 Hanover street, in the
heart of the city, four alarms being
sounded. Sixty-five guests were aroused
when the fire at its height as 1t seemed
flames would jump across to the Amer.
ican House and to- the other two hotels
which abutted the burning block on either
side.
Capt. William Riley fell with a hose
line from the fourth story of the build
ing to the sidewalk and was taken to
the Relief Hospital in a critical condi-
ton.
Five kitchen employees in the Marston
Restaurant Company, who were at work
on the forth floor, where the fire orig
mated, found it impossible to escape, be-
cause OF the smoke, and were carried
down ladders by the fremen without
serious injuries other than inhalation of
smoke.
