A1r Economical Nfeat Disl1.

Many do not know food values. In this recipe. one pound of beef will go as far as two in another combination. Put uuarter of a pound of broken up macaroni into a saucepan Of boiling water and cook for ten minutes. Cur up one pound of lean beef into small pieces and flour them. Put a heap ing teaspoonful Of dripping into a saucepan and let it get smoking hot, then brown the meat in it. Drain the macaront and add it, and cover all lib. eraIIy with warm water. Add one teaspoonful vinegar a tablespoonful mushroom catsup and seasoning of salt and pepper. Now chop up a good sized onion and mix 1t in. Turn it all into a large stoneware dish or casseho1e: cover the dish closely and bake for three hours. The oven must be- very slow indeed. A fine dish for the freless cooker.

shells and a couple of strips of white
tape, each two yards long, are required.
There is also a little fan. which is of

crouch down at the outset of the race.
Place an empty eggshell in the CEN
ter of each line of tape and choose a
boy and girl to play against each other.
Give the girl the fan and place her
behind her barrier with directions to
fan her egg yer her barrier and across
her opponents boundary as quickly as
possible. The boy player meantime
has to rely on his lungs to make his
egg travel. and the player w:ess egg

A Smart bird.

In the house OF the consul in Bang
kok is a bird that keeps up an inces-
SAINT chatter that might almost be call
ed conversation, so clever is it. The
voice of this bird is much like a hu-
man voice, far more so than the par
rot's. The bird is called the mineur or
minor. 1t learns much more readily
than the parrot and is as clever at imi-
tating as the American hooking bird.
1t whistles in exact imitation of its
master and sings whole songs through
without making a mistake.
The master of this songster always
summons his servant to him by call
ing "Boyr' The mineur learned to
do the same thing. with the result that
the servant was sent on a FOOLS err
rand many times. None could tell
whether the master called or the
mineur. This greatly annoyed the serv-
ant, whose owner told him that he
need not come unless he heard the call.
boy, boy!" repeated twice. In three
days time the mineur had learned his
trick and was doing the same thing.
Then it was arranged that the master
should strike on the table or clap his
hands, as they do in Turkey or Siam.
This was too much for the mineur,
who found that his fun was over.

LAST MINUTE GIFT.
Knitting Case. Easily Made. Is an Ac-
eeptable Present.

Here are directions for making a
knitting case. an easily and quickly
made last minute gift that any clever
oma can compass without much
trouble:
1t consists of a square of some sort
of muslin to spread over the lap to
protect the gown from fuzz and lint
and to protect the knitting from soil
In the middle of the square is a little
bag to hold the ball Of worsted. When
the knitting is not in use the four cor
ners of the square are folded over and
either pinned or tied with foul ends of
| ribbon.
To make the case. buy a yard of fig
ured lawn or muslin Of some sort
tw~enty-seven inches wide. Square 1t
and from the nine inches left cut a
strip about eighteen inches long and
nine wide. Turn an incl wide hen
and featherstitch it. The material
should be reversible, and the hem
should be turned over on the side of
the material which is up when the
square is spread over the lap. From
the remaining material. which should
measure nine inches square. cut two
circles each four and one-half inches
in diameter and turn under the edges
an eighth of an inch.
Seam the two ends of the long strip
together. Make a hem with a casing
for a drawstring in one side and gath
er the other side. Basic one circle in
the center of the big square on the
wrong side. marking its edge with
thread on the right side-that is to say.
the side that is upward when the
square is spread on the lap. Now ar
range the gathered edge of the little
bag. with the raw edge in, on the
place over the circle and use the sec
ond circle to put inside of the bag and
cover up the raw edges.
Now featherstitch the circle on the
wrong side. taking the stitches are
fully through the big square and the
gathered edge of the bag and the lin.
ing circle. Run ribbons in the casing
and take four ends of ribbon to the
four corners of the square.

The dam Of Flying Morgan was used
to peddle woodenware. The sire of
