FOR HOUSEWIVES
Cuts Of Meat Explained by
Dem0nStrat0r.
AMUSING QUESTIONS ASKED

One Woman Wanted to Know How She
Was to Tell Cut When Ordering by
TeIephone-Each Woman Present Got
Diagram Showing Side of Beef and
How 1t Is Sliced.
Crowds flied the headquarters of the
National Housewives league in New
York city to learn the different cuts of
meat and see beef, veal, lamb and NUT
ton cut by IN expert. 1t was the in
formal opening Of the headquarters for
real work, and, although the meeting
was called for 1890 o'clock, the WON
ell began to arrive at 9. They had
notebooks, in which they jotted down
the facts given them, they asked In
terested questions, and the women at
the rear stood up through the long
demonstration.
Theodore Carlewitz. who demon
strates at Teachers college and other
places where educational work in do
nestle science is carried on, did the
talking. while TWO assistants cut up
the meat. Each mn present re-
ceived Il diagram showing a side Of
beef, with the various cuts marked off.
Some Of the questions set the audi
ence laughing. The women had been
told that an economical housekeeper
with Il family of some size would buy
an entire crossrib piece of beef-four
teen pounds at q cents II pound-from
which she would get two steaks, a pot
roast and d good soup. Or she was
told that she would get a good steak
from this same piece by buying the
:. first cut of the crossrib.
But how can you be sure you get
that first cut?" asked Il woman from
the front row of seats.
See the whole crossrib.' answered
! Carlewitz.
But if you ordered by t%elephone?'
she continued, and the other women
shouted with laughter.
~"I.idies.' said Mrs. Julian Heath
when there was quiet again, don't
do it"
"A skirt steak is one you will fine
very good" said the demonstrators n
little later. 1T is only is cents /:

told. must be withdrawn unless lmne-

The presidents appeal is direct 10

able to do but little, but every little
counts. We know what splendid
work has been done by these self
sacrificing surgeons and nurses and we
can not look on indifferently and see
the work stopped when The need Is so
great.
South Carolina rose splendidly last
winter to the appeal to feed Bel

Belgium is not calling to US SO
urgently now, but many other no less
urgent appeals are coming.
Let US, as we contemplate tne com

own peaceful land and happy homes,
arouse ourselves and make some sac
rifce that We may send some little
comfort to the wounded and dying on
the battlefields or into some grief and
poverty stricken homes in the war

This we can best do by sending aid
to the American Red Cross.

UNEARTHING A FOSSIL.
A Delicate Task Demanding Crest
Care and Preparation.

When the bed of a fossil is found the
serious work begins. In many beds
the bones are without any iniltrated
filing. Sc that. though perfect in form.
they are soft and fragile. To remedy
this defect a coat Of shellac is applied
and allowed to soak in. Then a second
and third, and often more, are put on.
until the sandstone. or matrix. and
bone cease to take up shellac. AS soon
as the bone has hardened strips OF
cloth are dipped in flour paste and ad-
iusted to make a firm bandage. When
dried in this stage the whole is firm
enough to work around, and the ada
cent rock is gently removed. leaving
the specimen on somewhat Of pedes-
tai.
The preparation and the work Of
quarrying take three or more days Of
careful. palient work. Then finally the
slab containing the bones and hard
ened with shellac is wrapped in straw
and shipped TO the institution which
is to receive them. To take the bones
from the slab and prepare them for
mounting require all the patience and
skill of master mechanic. Very care
fully, often with the finest of dental
tools. it is necessary to dig away the
sandstone covering the bones.
The work becomes more delicate as
the fragile bones appear. AS soon as
exposed to the air the pulverized mass
is given a coat Of shellac. and this
process is continued until it becomes
firm and durable. After the preparator
has the material in working shape he
must add the missing parts, restoring
them with plaster. This requires a
careful study Of other prehistoric
bones. The skeleton is then mounted,
a work which is comparatively easy
as regards The fixing process.-Argo-

TURNING THE HAIR WHITE.
How Shock May Effect the Change
In a Single Night.

That hair ever turns white in sim
gle night has been emphatically de-
MED by the doctors. in spite of his
toric instances-such as that Of Marie
Antcinette-to the contrary. But DR..
Lebar called the attention Of the So
ciete Medicale des Hopitaux Of Paris
to an actual case, 1t was that of u
Young French soldier who was blown
into the air by mine and buried in
the earth, from which he extricated
himself with difficulty.
The man was deafened by the deto-
nation, his face was burned, and there
were several bruises on his head. He
was taken to 4 neighboring hospital,
where the following day he noticed
four isetS of white hair on the left
fronto p,,. .e;v-cccipital region OF his
head, The loss Of color was complete
from the roots to tie ends Of the hairs,
and the white hairs were rs firmly in
his scalp as their brown neishbors.
Accor,,iug "a The London Lancet.
quoting MeichnikoH. When Il hair be-
gins TO wh;ten there appear in the cor
tex cells with proIongations which
gradually come into relation with the
cells containing the pigment granules
and absorb them. These 'pigmentoph'
ages" as Metchnikof calls them, de
scend toward the root Of the hair to
scatter in the skin, of which they are
the pigmentary cells. They disappear
as soon as the decoloration is achieved.
A nervous shock may hasten the
mobilization of these cells, as the whit
ening takes place at points on the
scalp which have been the seat Of in
