Market for Everything.

"Is there such a thing as second
hand brass band instruments? Why,
certainly" said a musical instrument
man. "Why shouldn't there be? You
can buy secondhand yachts, pianos,
steam boilers, bricks, secondhand any.
thing on earth; why not secondhand
band instruments? How do they come
to be offered secondhand? Why, Just
as anything else does. Somebody gives
up using an instrument and then he
sells it; or somebody wants to buy a
better instrument and then he sells
the old one. And for all these second.
hand instruments there is a market,
They may be sold to beginners or to
players, and such a thing has been
heard of a new band equipping itself
throughout with secondhand instru.

PROPER COOKING OF MEATS
Various Treatments Necessary for
Their Effective Preparation for
the Table.

Fresh meats which are to be served
cold should be put to cook in pot Of
boiling water and boiled hard for /,
minutes, covered, then boiled gently
until tender throughout. The season
ings may be any combination Of herbs
or vegetables desired. Salt and pep
pei should be added when meat is
half done.
Salt meats take different treatment.
First soak over night in plenty OF
cold water. Then scrape and clean
the next day, and put them on to
cook in a pot of cold water.
Cook tongue very gently until the
small bones in the root can be easily
pulled out This is a matter Of foGr
hours. Leave in water until cold. Then
lift out, trim, skin and serve 1t may
be put away cold in the ice box,

Ham, if very dry, may be soaked
48 hours, changing water once or
twice. Put to cook in plenty of cold
water. 1t should simmer five to eight
hours. 1t is done when the small bone
In the hook can be pulled out easily.
When nearly cold draw off the skin:

Basic frequently with two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar and little boiling wa

two hours. Save ham fat from the
pan. 1t is fine for frying potatoes.
hominy or rice. Save the ham skin
and use it to cover the ham under a
coarse cloth.

much of this, however, due to poverty
is tawdry.
The capitals houses are long
stretches of white, with more of gar.
den and tree planting around them
than is usually found in a western
city. The population has grown rap
idly since 1867, from $4,000 in 1884,
to 10000 in 1910, and is a typical Bal
kan city mixture, composed of Ser
VANS, Bulgars, Greeks, Turks, Mace
domains. Czechs, Jews, Hungarians
and Germans. The city has a number
of handsome public buildings, many
large. well-appearing business struc-
lures, numerous hotels, university
and national library with 10000 vol.
umes.
The beginnings of prosperity were
evident before the first Balkan war.
The exports Of the Servian people
passed mainly through Belgrade, and
were taken by Austria-Hungary. These
exports consisted almost entirely of
raw materials, for Servia has never
enjoyed sufficient period of peace
and good management to save a CAPT
tai for industrial development. Bel
grade had some Observation-Disclosures
working, brick making, alcohol distil-
lation, printing and brewing. Most of
its manufactured goods, however, were
imported
Belgrade in latter years has been
one of the most patriotic capitals un.
der the sun. It has seethed and bub-
bled and boiled with pride and hope
for its country. The Serbs have un-
dertaken every effort aiming toward
making their capital known, respected
and even admired abroad.

CALLED "SHREDS OF SATAN"
For Uncanny Knowingness and Prank.
ish AudacIty the Indian Crow
Has No Equal.

Travellers in the Orient have much
to say about the Indian crow, bird
that for uncanny knowingness and
prankish audacity has perhaps no
equal. Corvus splendens-thus have
ethnologists flatteringly labeled him;
but famous naturalist who knows
the breed at first hand has called
them "shreds of Satan, cinders from
Tartarus." To give these impish crea-
lures their due, however, it should
be said that life in India is not a lit
tie enlivened by their presence. A
Companion correspondent witnessed
the following incident:
A small hawk had seized little
bird and perched on leafless branch
to devour his prey. The spectacle
drew two crows to the spot. They
hoped and tapped from branch to
branch, noisily discussing the strategy
Of their intended raid.
Then one of them quietly slipped
away through the surrounding foliage.
At the same time his mate fed In front
Of the perching hawk, and lowering
steadily within foot of his beak,
maintained a bustling menace of
snatching the titbit. That etfectually
compelled the attention Of the hawk.
His prey firmly grasped beneath his
feet, be angrily Kissed and lunged at
the lowering nuisance. So lively was
the skirmish that the human onlook.
er forgot the existence Of the second
crow. But now that willy bird re-
appeared some distance in the rear
of his destined victim. With stealthy
sidlings and short, noiseless flights,
he drew near. Then he made swift
dash, seized the hawks long, barred
tail by the tip, hung on it with his full
weight and toppled the luckless hawk
in a complete back somersault from
the perch The released titbit was
instantly seized by the first crow.
and the clever pair bore off their booty
with much triumphant cawing.,

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can
Afford Thanksgiving the Dish.
cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for the
Floor Covering.

Tiles are so clean and nice if one Il
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex
pensive at the start. Round the kitch
en walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
splashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something Of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
ly nailed fat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with a little dry
brickdust.
The tiles, of course, are ideal, as
all they need is a washdoWn with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the 'sink and eventually
stop il up. 1t is shaped so that it fits
into the corner of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this i'm
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scaIded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed well in several wa.
tiers.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, if you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn.
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug Of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the muddle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
in hot and polish we'll with a
Try, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
lnlaid linoleum is the best to pur.
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
70 the last.
Clean your windows when the sun
Is not shining, for if the sun shines
on a wet window no amount of rub.
bling will prevent it from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day, too,
as the, glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly,
Wash the glass with a sponge wrung
out in tepid water with a few drops
Of ammonia in it. Dry with a clean
cloth with no fluff on it,. Polish
With pads of newspaper.
