SAVING TIME in KITCHEN
Small Things About Which House
wives May Not Have Thought, but
Which Count for Much.

Time saving is one of the chief prob
lens of the busy woman, and it con-
Germs especially the housewife who
does her own cooking or has only one
maid.
Here, for example, is how one
oma ave time: When she makes
pie crust she makes double the guam
tity needed at the moment, as pie
crust rolled in a damp napkin and put
In the refrigerator will keep perfectly
for several days. Then she plans in
the menus for the next few days to
use that crust. A dessert or a fruit
tart for the first night, %turnovers for
luncheon the following day, and if any
crust remains it can be used in des-
serts, meat patties or cheese straws.
BY using the pastry in such a va
riety of ways she avoids the impress
sion of sameness, yet manages to
tighten materially her work of prepar-
alton.
Filling the ice box with scraps of
leftover food is a waste of room-and
usually Of food; but this woman solves
very neatly the problem of left
overs" She never allows an ccumu-
lation; nevertheless, every scrap is
used. For example, if there are a few
string bans or boiled potatoes left
from dinner they are Immediately
sliced into small d~ice-shaped pieces
and put away in a bowl to be used
for a vegetable salad at tomorrow's
luncheon. Scraps of meat too small
to be used in other ways are put
through the meat chopper, and go to
make sandwiches for tea.
Every dish that comes off the table
is promptly attended to. If it be
available for future use it is put away
In a convenient form; If not available
it is thrown away Immediately. BY
this means the ice box is kept neat
and clean, there is no waste by spoil
ing, and much time is saved.

To FIIIet a Fish.

Remove the dark skin; cut down the
backbone and slip the knife under the
flesh, keeping close to the bone, till
the fins are reached. Cut a fllet OFF of
each side, turn the fish over and cut
two more fllets off the other side: A
good-sized fiat fish will give four fill
lets. Smaller fish that are not fiat
should be divided into two fllets only.
Weakfish, founder, salmon, whiting,
herring, mackerel, paddock and n
of the larger fishes that have not too
many small bones are excellent sub
jects for fillet.

Frowsy old Tim stood at the back
fence of a neat garden and craned his
neck to survey its environment. He
expressed a sigh of relief and salts

he observed, blandly and encouraged.
Then his eye ran critically along a
well-filled c~lothesline.
"Birdhouse, and little girlie's pima
flores in the wash. They are human in
there, sure" and he pulled open the
gate and advanced to the rear door
step.
Homeless, hungry, hunted from pill
lar to post, Tim braced up for a vol
uble appeal for food. He was really
hungry. He knocked at the door, re-
moved his dusty, ragged cap and pre-
pared to be polite, but insistent.

speech as the door was half opened.
I'm out of work and"
"Im no lady. I'm Mrs. Burton's lit
tie girl" interrupted a childish voice,
and Tim drew back abashed. Before
him stood a child, wearing a kitchen
apron strung round her neck a big
spoon in her hand, assuming all the
gravity of a seasoned housekeeper.

wide open.
Come in, man." she directed with
due dignity. "My ma has gone down
to the store and I'm all alone getting
lunch. Are you hungry"
81 am that, ma'am," assented Tim,
and the little one, luttered at the ma
ture designation, curtsied him to a
seat at a table.
Il can't cook yet" she explained,
"but I've got lunch and you can have
some"
Tins face was or a broad grin. The
oddly of the situation %entranced him.
The child poured him out a cup of
tea and placed a plate of cheese and
another of bread and butter before
him. Then, her chin resting in her
hand. she sat studying him, alarmed
as slice after slice of bread disap-
peared, yet overwhelming him with
questions. He told her of his wan
derings with the birds as his compan-
ions and the flowers as his friends,
weaving quite a fairy story for his en-
tranced auditor.
Mrs. Burton, coming home, barely
suppressed a scream and turned white
and trembled al she caught sight OF

mount, the chief commercial village
of the state. Here are the caves Of
San Marines wines, which a seven
teenth century poet said were so
pleasing, pure, grateful and good that
they have no cause to be Jealous of

The narrow streets climb upward
within the walls of the ancient citadel
browning the highest point of the
mountain and to the small towers that
mark the two other peaks. In the
Pianello. the principal square, is the
favorite statue of the San Marinese, a
giant figure of Liberty, and nearby
is the government palace. This is a
more or less "pretentious Gothic build
ing that would do credit to a much
larger and Weather nation. Here is
conducted most Of the public business
of the republic and here are the offices
of the chief guardians of it's affairs.
Ruled by Great Council.
The government of the republic is
really in the hands of a great council
of sixty, twenty mobiles, twenty land
owner and twenty peasants. The ex-
ecutive power is vested in two capt.
TAM regent, who are selected twice
a year. With this short tenure OF
Office there is not much of an oppor-
tunity for oppression by the executive,
and with the close surveillance of the
state accounts and treasury exercised
by representatives of the council Of
sixty there is still less chance for
graft by the officials. The judiciary is
peculiar in hat the judges are not
chosen from among the people of San
Marine, but from a foreign country.
The last two judges, who have held of
fee for Two terms of three years each,
were members of the Italian bar.
San Marine has ministers plenipo-
Tertiary and consuls, the same as any
other European country. She has a
legation at Paris, and consuls at Ly-
ons, Bordeaux and Marseilles, and
she has a consul-general at Vienna
and a consul at Trieste. Between the
little republic and the United States

1907.

forget this bit of Kindness" and was
gone.
Every morning for a week after that
Mrs. Burton found a bouquet of flow
ers on the back steps. First it was
buttercups, then violets, then May ap-
pies. The morning dew held their
freshness and she guessed the donor,
who had rambled the woods in the
early dawn to procure these humble
offerings.
Tim did not impose upon their kind
ness by calling again, but they heard
that he had been ordered away from
the isolated timber town and had dis
appeared.
He left behind him a vivid memory,
however. In that hour when he had
been the guest of little Nellie he had
filled the child's mind with new
thoughts of nature. Tramp, derelict

a poet had not strong drink wrecked
his life. His ardent listener had in
spired him to dilate on the symbolism
and romantic beauties of the Wild
wood.
For weeks Nellie talked OF him, her
head full of flower fairies, dew dia-
monds, starshine pixies, all the
quaint conceits on which Tim had
dreamed in his long rambles in the
woods. The wild flowers had helped
the illusions until they ceased to
come.

Life went on in its usual monotonous

but they had been hitherto evaded, or
diverted. or beaten out. Mr.. Burton
came into the house late one after

anchorite reached the ears of the
noble lady to whom it belonged and
she presented the mount to him and
in addition a tract of land. thinking
that Marinus, as was usual, in those
days, would found a monastery.
He did this and more, for he found
ed a republic. Dying, he gave Titano
to his disciples, recommending them
never to abandon it and ito organize
a civil society and live always in per-
feet communion and peace based upon
principles of virtue" Marinus was
c~anonized after his death. His body
now rests in the principal church in
the republic and his fete, which is the
most important in the land, is cele-
brated on September 8.

San Marine lies about twelve miles
from the Adriatic coast and about
the same distance from Rimini. Across
the country from north to south is
seven miles; from east to west, about
five, scarcely larger than Manhattan
island. 1t is wedged in between the
provinces of Urbino, Pesaro and Forli.
From Rimini an excellent road leads
to San Marine through a rich, beau
tiful plain covered with olive trees
and vines. AS it ascends Monte I'll
tano there is spread out a gorgeous
panorama with the A%pennines to the
south and west and the Adriatic to the
east; while far to the north stretches

Along the white road ripping away
eastward over the dimpled country
the army motors were pouring by in
endless lines, broken now and then by
the dark mass of u tramping regi-

these waves of military traffic we

Arabian Horses In ireland.

Much discussion has occurred
among biologists as to the origin of
distinctively oriental characteristics
among the horses of Ireland. Many
have believed that the cause was the
introduction, In historic times, Of
horses from the Spanish peninsula,
possessing eastern characters. Not
long ago, however, Scharf examined
the remains of Irish horses from boys,
caves and c%rannogs, many of which
he believes to have been wild horses,
and he finds that these are quite as
Arabian in their forms as n of the
modern horses Of Ireland, and even
more so. His conclusion is that the
oriental features of the modern stock
are the result of inheritance from an
original wild stock possessing those
characters.

In accordance with the law, Leon

county workhouse this week will
submit to Sheriff Stidham a list Of

Owing to Mr.. Crawford being i'll
with pneumonia. it will be impossible
for him to officiate as hangsman. Dep
