bottom of the kettle, strain the
fat through a cloth and set it
away to cool"
This fat is so valuable in cook
ing that housewives will do well
tc save all suet from their meat
end try it out.
For those who want a mixture
OF suet and leaf lard the follow
ing recipe viii be found useful;
Take two parts of suet and
one of leaf lard, finely ground,
and mix together. Render this
with whole milk in the proper
ton of one-half pint milk to
two pounds Of the mixed suet
and ard. (Render means to
melt down or to clarity by melt
ing.) The suet and lard mix
tpre may be finely divided by
passing it through a meat grind
cr and may then be heated in a
double boiler, when the fat will
be quickly released from the It's
sues. and when allowed to cool
wiD form a cake ON the surface
Iof the liquid which may be
easily removed"
This fat has a good odor, color
and texture, and is softer than
the suet, alone. 1t is useful for
frying and the shortening Of
foods with high flavors and may
be used with fair results in short
ening such things as baking pow
der biscuits. 1t is useful for
cooking vegetables either alone
Or with the addition of a little
butter.
DO NOT LET FAT BURN IN
COOKING.
The unpopularity of fried
food in many families is due en-
tireIy to the fact that the fat has
been burned in cooking. Fat
when heated to too high a tenn
prrature splits up and may form
substances which have an irritat-
ing effect ON the throat and may
cause digestive disturbances. Fat
Ill itself is a very valuable food
end if it is not scorched should
prove a healthful rather than an
Objectionable article of diet. A
slightly burned taste and similar
Objectionable flavors can often
b removed from fat by puttini
into it thick slices Of raw potato
an heating it gradually. When
the fat ceases to bubble and the
potatoes are brown, the fat
should be strained off through a
cloth placed in a wire strainer.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Some of the Noted School
houses of Philadelphia.
Franklin o. Edmunds Unearths Q
Wealth of Information on the Part
These Structures Took IN His
tory Of United States.

Boston.-When careless school chill
dren go romping in and out of theiT
buildings they never stop to think OF
the historic memories that lurk around
the place.
The mere fact that they have been
remodeled does not destroy their old
time charm nor ruin the realization
that many were erected in the eight
eenth century. William Penn had a.
hand in some buildings, and others
equally interesting are to be found.
Franklin D. Edmunds, a school arch.
itect and son of Henry Edmunds,
president of the board of education
has unearthed a wealth of informa'
ton on local schoolhouses in Ameri-
can history.
Mr.. Edmunds, recognizing that there
was much to be discovered in this
fertile field and that all that had ever
been written about schoolhouses had
been directed at the pedagogical and
political phases of the city's educa,
tional development, went right at the
study of the buildings themselves.
One building he found to be Of spe'
cial interest because it had been used
in revolutionary days as both church
| and schoolhouse. The Leverine
school at Ridge avenue and Levering
| street, is now used by the youths OF
Roxborough 1t was erected in 174s
by William L. Levering, who was to
distinguish himself as an officer in
the struggle for American indepen
| dence. 1t was for many years used
by both churchgoers and pupils. On
Sunday the Baptists worshiped there
and on week days their children
studied on the long, hard benches
| This doubling of purposes was very
common in colonial days. Further
more, the Levering school was used
as a meeting place for the colonists
during the strenuous pre-revolutionarJ
discussions. The Roxborough inhabi
tants met there to protest agains
taxation without representation,
and subsequently to organize troops
to register their determination fol
freedom.
In 1856 a hurricane took it away
but the next year it was replaced b!
a more modern structure. RoXbor
ough kept growing, and the childrer
kept increasing in such numbers tha
by 1894 more accommodations were
necessary, and the present house wai
Tx
was only in 1S47 that "Roxborough'
was wiped off and william L. Lever
ing placed over the door.
The recent physical growth of Phila
delphia is in no way better illustrated
than by the development of it's schoo
system. One of the best known ele
mentary schools in the city is the

cIinn TO Old Beliefs.

Holiday-makers who visit the Eng
ugh Lakeland, and regard it as
beautiful place in which to rest from
strenuous work in order to be fit for
harder work, would probably be sur
prised to learn that in the quiet ham
tets among the Cumbrian fells motor
cars are still regarded as curlosities,
and superstitious customs and be-
defs are much as they were hun
dred years ago Funeral feasts have
lost much of their character, but q
number of curious customs still sur
yive. The bees have at once to be
informed of any death that takes
place. Some one, generally woman
dressed in black, whispers to them
what has occurred. Sometimes they
take a holiday in consequence. At
other times they continue their work,
but. in any case, hives are braided
With black, and on the day of the
uneral wine and sweet butter are
nlaced in the garden or orchard for
heir consolation. A silk scarf is
usually distributed to each man who
attends a funeral, and there was one
person SO much in demand for these
had collected sufficient number Of
scarfs to allow of his wife making her
self brand new silk dress.

She carried the weekly town newspa-

held it before the face of her lover,
her dainty forefinger indicating great

read it in his slow accurate way.
"A thousand dollars reward" he
said, 'Td find the child for nothing,

eh?"

that Ida Strong has been kidnapped and
probably carried to distance. Her

that, once they get safely in hiding.
those who stole her will offer her for

They're rich enough to pay a big

call the little one. Only a week ago

asked Nellie, changing the subject.

Their shindigs generally break up in a

your said Nellie softly.
"And the four dollars-yes. indeedl
The first nest egg for home. Give
me kiss on it. Nellie"
She gave him a dozen, and was
proud of the artless but earnest young
fellow who fairly worshiped the ground
she trod on.
A great clumsy carry-all conveyed
the rural band over to Jung's Corners
on Saturday evening. Jed had not ex-
aggerated the conditions prevalent
with that community of lawless roy
|sterere and rude river men. There
were ten members of the band. They
placed their instruments in a small
room back of the dance hall and sat
around until the crowd arrived.
