Beef Used In Salad.

Although beef is not at all an ideal
salad meat. surprisingly good meat
salad may be made from small piece
of boiled beef (bouilli). A half cupful
of such meat cut in small pieces and
mixed with dainty cooked vegetables
and a mayonnaise dressing may be
very tasty and will make an unexpect'
eddy large salad.
The vinaigrette of beef, popular
way with the French of using left over
boiled beef, is practically the same
thing as beef salad, except that the
meat is cut in as pretty slices as pos
sible and allowed to lie in the dressing
for a time before it Is cerved. This is
what is called marinating the beef 1t

But men were many. and sheds were full,

The traveller never got hands In wool,
though he tramped for a year Out
Back
In sitting moons when his back was
wrung by Its load, and the air
seemed dead,
And the water warmed in the bag that
hung to his aching arms like lead,
Or In times of flood, when plains were
seas and the scrubs were cold and
black.
He plowed In mud to his trembling knees.
and paid for his sins Out Back.
He blamed himself in the year TOO
Late'-n the heaviest hours of life
Twas little he dreamed that a shearing-
mate had care of his home and wife:
There are times when wrongs from your
kindred come and treacherous
tongues attack,
When man is better away from home.
and dead to the world. Out Back,
And dirty and careless and old he wore,
as his lamp of hope grew dim;
He tran,ped for years till the swag he
bore seemed part of himself to him.
AS bullock drags in the sandy ruts, he
followed the dreary track.
With never thought but to reach the
huts when the sun went down Out
Back
1t CHANGED one day. when the north wind
blew In his face like furnace
breath,
T. 1og
he left the track for a tank-he knew
twas short cut to his death
For the bed of the tank was hard and
dry. and crossed with many a crack
And. oh. it's terrible thing to die of
thirst in the scrub, Out Back.
A drover came, but the fringe of law was

many Of these pupils. who come from
homes where the use OF water TOR
cleansing purposes has never been
known, and where the simple every

lesson to learn. 1t is remarkable how
quickly they come to realize the value
of this lesson. and the pride with
which daily soap-scrubbed faces shine
once they know the added feeling OF
self-respect gained by the simple
of soap and water.
The pupil must be fourteen to enter
the school-and may be forty. There
are usually about an equal number OF
boys and girls in attendance. Most,
Of these children are too poor to pay
for their tuition and board, for which
q very nominal price is asked, but this
difficulty is arranged for by q system

OF which Nj. Taft is . member, did
s not md the choice an easy one, there

whom to select. That the recipient
should be scientist rather than an

has already attracted the attention OF
scientists Of repute, no less one than
Prof. Jacques Loeb endorsing his
original work in physiology, biology
and zoology in these terms: r.5
His knowledge Of biology and his
critical ability are OF an unusually
high and lofty order. In the work that
he devotes to Howard university he Is
actuated by very high motives. since
the remuneration he receives is only
fraction OF his nominal salary. He
could easily increase his income by
giving up his position. Professor Just
has sacrificed q good deal for the ad-
vancement OF medical schools for col
ored people, and he will do good deal
more II he is given a chance, as
hope he may be-"
