SteWed Shoulder of Mutton,

Choose a small shoulder of mutton,
as lean as possible, have all the bones
removed and broken up, and roll up
the shoulder very tightly; put in a
saucepan one or two sliced carrots,
two medium-sized onions with two
cloves in one of them, IL pints of
stock made from the bones, a bunch
of herbs and rind of bacon; put in
the shoulder, cover down, and place
the pan over good fire, bring it to
the boil, then draw the pan to one
side and let the contents simmer very
gently for three to four hours; when
half cooked turn the shoulder, when
cooked lift it out and keep it hot.
Skim the gravy, strain it, put it back
in the pan with the shoulder, and let
them simmer for another ten minutes,
or, if there is too much liquid, let the
simmering continue for a short time
longer. The vegetables should be care.
fully saved, for if they are passed
through a sieve they make an excel
lent soup with the addition of little
stock, so that nothing need be wasted.

MAN TAKES SECOND PLACE
Many Ways in Which He Is Inferior to
the Partner of His Joys
and Sorrows.

A man can't do two things at time,
A woman will broil steak and see
that the coffee does not boil over, and
watch that the cat does not steal the
remnant of the meat on the kitchen
table, and dress the youngest boy, and
set the table, and see to the toast, and
stir the oatmeal, and give the orders
to the butcher, and she can do it all
at once, and not half try.
Man has done wonders since he
came before the public. He has navi-
gated the ocean, he has penetrated
the mysteries of the starry heavens,
he has barnessed the lightning, and
made 1t light the great cities of the
world
But he can't find reel of thread in
his wife's workbasket; he can't dis
cover her pocket in dress hanging in
the closet; he cannot hang out clothes
and get them on the line the right end
up. He cannot hold clothespegs in his
mouth while ne is doing it, either. He
cannot be polite to somebody he hates.
He cannot sew on button. In short,
he cannot do a hundred things that
women do almost instinctively.

| Fowey, once one of the greatest sea
ports of the land, which sent scores
of boats to the crusades, to the siege
of Calais, to the plundering of Nor
mandy, one-time warlike city whose
glory has long since faded. Fowey
sent more than twoscore men-ofwar
to Calais-770 men. How pitifully
small are the figures today, when one
modern battleship requires a larger
crew than did that fleet $50 years ago.
Not fifty ships of modern type could
find place in Fowey harbor today, but
for smaller craft-submarine destroy
ers-it affords admirable shelter.
PoIperro Is Picturesque.
To the eastward of Fowey is Pol
perro, the most picturesque, the most
unspoiled of Cornish fishing ports, re-
tanning all its ancient dignity of life
and labor unfiuttered by summer
villas now beginning to crowd the
cliffs above it's head. Polperro's chief
| catch is mackerel, crabs and conger.
There are few, if any, conger-eel in
American waters; they are to some
people most npleasant-looking fish.
Cornwall esteems them highly and
makes them into pie with much cream
and parsley.
Cornwall, Mrs. Albrecht explains,
makes any number of things into pie
and calls the product invariably
SQUAD pie" though all things but
squads are among the materials.
"Squab pie gave rise to the following
Cornish story repeated by the writer:
"The devil came one day to the
banks of the lamar, the ripping river
that divides Devon and Cornwall, and
looked over at the rocky land beyond.
His majesty considered the swift cur
rent and shook his head. MOI he
said finally. No, that's no place for
me! Everyone who goes there is
else into squad pie. I'm fit for neither
one nor the other And he stayed in
Devon"
Just beyond the Cornwall bound
airy is Plymouth of Mayflower mem
DRY, city which has never allowed
her growing commerce to interfere
with her position as fortress of the
first class and naval arsenal. Ports
mouth, considerably further east upon
this coast, is also a strong fortress
and an important garrison town, and
it's great dockyards and repairing
docks are likely over-busied now in
the work of keeping the sea that is
the wall of England"

His ChiIdren,s Work.

He was certainly very poor speci-
men of humanity, and, so far as could
be seen, was certainly a fitting recip-
lent of the pennies dropped into his
box by the charitable-minded Day af-
ter day ne sat there, none knowing or
caring how he managed the journey to
and from his residence, in whatever
part of the town that might be, with
out an accident. What brought you
to this, my poor fellow" inquired a
lady of rather more practical turn
of mind than many. MY children,
ma'am, replied the fellow, with a
pitiful groan. Dropping some coins
into the box, the lady passed on, with
a remark to her companion as to what
some children are responsible for, A
bystander who overheard the remark,
asked him the ages of his children.
"The eldest is twelve, and there are
four Others replied the knave. Then
you rascal, how could they bring you
to this?" I'm handcart, the same as
they take me away was the self-sat-
isfied response.

TO MAKE WITH CHESTNUTS
Variety of Good Things That viii Be
Appreciated by Those Fond of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every
body, although they are sometimes
found indigestible. If they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is q
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with a cross on the stem end,
and tie them in piece of cheesecloth
or put them in cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in sailed water.
Then serve them with butter and salt,
as they are, or prepare them more
deliberately.
Chestnut custard is a delicious des-
sert, and can be made either from
roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and a half of
them. Rub them through sieve and
mix with a cupful of butter, to a
paste Add the yolks of six eggs beat.
en- creamy, threequarters of cup
full of powdered sugar and half a cup
full of cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs, beat
en- stiff, and heat in a double boiler
until it thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad, boil 20 chest
nuts, as directed above, and drop into
cold water to harden. Then peel and
cut into pieces the size of the chest
nut quarters. Serve with French
dressing on crisp leaves of lettuce.
Chestnut souffle calls for a pint of
cooked chestnuts rubbed through a
sieve. Thicker six tablespoonfuls of
hot milk with four level tablespoon
fuls of -four rubbed smooth with two
of butter. Add the yolks of three
eggs beaten, two tablespoonful of
sugar, and stir in lightly the stiff
whites of four eggs. Bake 20 min
utes.
For chestnut pudding boil a pound
and a half of chestnuts and work them
to a paste. Cream half cupful of
butter with half a cupful of sugar
and add the beaten yolks of six eggs
stiff and fold them in lightly. Pour
in buttered mold and steam for
an hour and serve with a sweet pud-
ding sauce.

Party gowns may be fashioned in a
froth Of lace and net, in layers of
chiffon or net, or both over a silk
foundation. Or they are made of the
new and beautiful taffetas. And no
matter how airy and unsubstantial
they may be, bands of fur are very
likely to appear on them. Embroid-
cries of silver thread, the introduction
of silver laces, and a use of span
gled trimming lends them life and
sparkle. When designed for youth.

A lovely model appears in the pic

Diversity of detail is striking char

the same material, generally kidlike
finished satin. The blouse and panta-
lettes are now attached to each other.
The pantalettes, which are made
on masculine trouser line as to width
and general shape, are no longer than
the short skirt worn over them. The
hem OF the skirt, undulating or fall
ing in points, partially conceals the
pantalettes or delusively gives them
the appearance Of a tight drop skirt.
Sometimes the pantalettes are drawn
in like boomers. More frequently

WANTED ONE DAY OF REST
insane Man, as Strict Sabbatarian,

Orville L. Kiplinger, chaplain of the
Michigan City (Ind.) reformatory, tells
the following instance of scrupulous
conscience:
Some years ago an insane patient
was given to the immodest, not to say
expensive, habit of tearing his cloth
ing from him and converting jeans

were made of, into carpet rags.

DOGS NO MATCH FOR BUCK
Animal at Bay Proved Itself Master of
Pack That Had Been Put on
Its Track.

Animals of different species do not
often fight one another because they
cannot comprehend or guard against
an attack different from that used by
one of their own kind.
The predatory beasts in many cases
overcome their prey, not because they
are very much stronger. but because
of the fear and confusion that their
strange method of attack rouses in
their quarry.
For example, a dog of a fighting
breed charges like lion, and nearly
every member of the deer tribe, in
Guiding even the elk and moose, flies
from him in panic; but when one of
these animals learns the real power of
the dog it is different matter.
Hobart Ames kept number Of deer
In a park at his winter home In Ten
nessee, among them a buck with a
fine set. of horns. The buck came to
have great contempt and dislike for
dogs, and any unfortunate dog that
got into the deer inclosure did we'll to
escape with his life.
The buck had learned that no dog
could Withstand the charge or the
thrust of his horns, and running from
them was the last thing he thought of.
On the other hand, the dogs were
greatly puzzled by an animal that
ought by all rules to run away, but
did not.
One night the big buck jumped out
of his yard, and Mr.. Ames' foreman put
the dogs on the deer's track and found
him in a thicket quarter Of mile
from the house. There was a fight,
and then the dogs were seen coming
home at top speed, followed by the
enraged buck.
His hair was turned the wrong way
and his eyes burned reilly as he
charged every dog ne could overtake.
Several of the hounds were badly hurt
and all of them were scared.
They fled to their own quarters, and
it required the combined efforts Of the
kennel men and stable boys to rescue
the pack. Probably il single one of
the hounds had learned to fight deer
at bay his example would have been
followed by his mates.-Youths Com
