MAKING MEAT TENDER
HOW THE INEXPENSIVE CUTS
MAY BE EMPLOYED.
Pounding Flour Into Them Is Recon-.
mended as One Method-Choppins
Fine Is Another Excellent Way
of improving Them.

When the housekeeper attempts to
reduce her meat bill by using the less
expensive cuts she has two difficulties
to contend with-toughness and lack
Of flavor. Pounding meat before cook
ing is an old-fashioEod method OF max
ing it tender, but while this process
breaks down the tough tissues it also
releases the juices, driving them out,
and with them the flavor. A good way
is to pound -four into the meat. This
catches and holds the juices.
A very palatable and economical
dish can be made from a round steak
as follows: Pound -Four into both sides
OF the steak, as much aa the meat will
take up. Fry IN drippings or other fat
in an ordinary pan Of kettle, then add
water TO cover it. Cover the vessel
tightly, so that no steam can escape
and allow the meat to simmer very
gently for two hours. 1t is then ready
to serve, the gravy being already
thickened by the -four beaten into the
steak. This gravy is delicious and far
superior to the kind made i'll the or
binary way after the meat is cooked.
Another very tasty dish is Spanish
beefsteak. Take a piece of round
steak Weighing two pounds and about
an inch thick. Pound until thin, sea
son with salt and cayenne pepper,
cover with a layer Of bacon or salt
pork Sliced, roll and tie with a cord.
place in a covered baking dish. Pour
around it half a cupful each of milk
and water. Cook two hours, basting
occasionally.
Chopping meat is one of the princi-
pal methods of making tough and in
expensive meat tender. Chopped
meats have another advantage, in that
they may be cooked quickly and eco
nomically. Chopped raw meat Of al
most any kind can be very quickly
made into a savory dish by cooking
it with water or with water and milk
for a short time, then thickening with
hutter and flour. and adding different
seasoning as preferred, either pepper
and salt alone or onion juice, celery,
or tomato. Such a dish may be made
to go further by serving it on slices
of toast or surrounded by a wall OF
rice or macaroni.
In broiling chopped meat success
fully the point is to ear the surface
very quickly s. that the juices may
be kept in, and then to allow the
| heat to penetrate to the inside until
the whole mass is cooked to the taste
Of the family. To begin with, tho
broiler should be well creased. 9th,
erwise the cakes or balls may be
broken when removing them from the
broiler. They should be heated on
both sides more quickly than q steak,
because the chopping has allowed the
juice to escape and The openings
should be sealed as quickly as posi-
bic.
Hamburg steak is made from mex
| pensive bits of beef chopped, seasoned
a little, and shaped into fiat cakes or
steaks. If possible the choppinG
should be done at home, So that the
meat may be cooked at once. Some
housekeepers think Hamburg steak is
improved by mixing the meat with o
little milk before cooking.

Pierce. It cures backachc, headache

more potent than lithia, and dissolves
uric acid, as hot water does sugar.

Pliny, the great naturalist, who

reckoned the whole number of

Linnaeus, the great Swedish investi-

to have been the greatest ichthyolo-
gist of the age in which he lived.

STEALING A HORSE.

A Brazsn Afghan Rebbsr Who Had .
Sense Of Humer.
An East Indian officer, writing of
life in Peshawur in the early seven
ties of the last century, relates the
following:
The medical officer of my regi-
ment was informed one night that
a valuable and favorite Arab steed
of his had been stolen. Over the
border, gone forever, he never ex-
pected to see his horse again, but
next day, much to his surprise,
there came to him a bearded ruffian
riding barebacked the stolen steed.
He confessed that he had taken
the animal, but, learning that it was
the property of a hakim (physician),
had brought it back. The horse had
been tethered in line with others,
with men, women and children
sleeping in the open about them.
GLOW did you manage it?" asked
the doctor.
''If the sahib will give the neces-
sary order," he said, 81 will show
him."
The entire scene was reproduced,
even to the night watchman asleep
in a corner. Noiselessly the Afghan
crawled toward the Arab, treading
snakclike through the PROSTATE
forms to where it was standing at
the end of the row. Softly kissing
to attract the animals attention
without causing alarm, he gently
raised himself with arm extended.
In his open palm were some
Jumps of goor (native sugar., below
ed Of horses, and while the Arab
was enjoying these the man was
caressing him with the other hand,
whence suspended a watering bride
taken from his wallet. Quickly this
was adjusted, and then, stroking
soothingly, the robber passed his
hand over the animals back and
down the hind quarters, Swiftly
the heel ropes were unhitched, then
the head gear released, and with a
bound he was astride and away, his
right hand backward flung, shout
ing triumphantly as he passed,
fSThus was it donew
The joke was that he never came
back! A double restitution would
have been too much of O wrench.

The Arabic Day.


The Arabic day begins at sunset,
and the particular one which begins
any month is that on which the
new moon is first seen after sunset.
Apart from the cloudiness of the
sky, there may be and generally is
considerable difficulty in seeing the
crescent, lost, as it must always be,
in the radiance of the set sun, and
consequently there is always uncer-
tainty for some time after sunset
whether the day that has just be-
gun is to be reckoned with the last
month or as the first of a new
month.

The Limb, In WaIkino.

1t is pointed out that in walking
or running the arms and legs pro-
duce a balancing like that of the
reciprocating and revolving parts
of a locomotive. The movements
of the legs react upon the trunk
and tend to rotate it in alternate
directions about a vertical axis, but
the swinging of the arms, each in
unison with the opposite leg, pro-
duces an opposing mechanical cou-
pie, the effect of which is to rotate
the trunk in the other direction,
thus balancing, in part at least, the
rotating action Of the legs.

Don't Let Lowered Vitality Run You
Down In the Spring.
If you should go to the doctor and
tell him that you are given to being
gloomy and blue at times; that you
have apprehensions of dreadful things:
that you are supersensitive; that you
are constipated, given to headaches
and vertigo or to other similar ailments
the doctor would know that you were
suffering from case Of NERVES"
Naturally when you realize that these
symptoms are signposts to ''nerves"
you can appreciate how impossible it
is for nervous woman to appear
charming and beautiful. If these facts
were only understood more universally
by women they would be ashamed to
admit they had nerves." and they
would do all they could to cure them.
No matter how talented woman
may be. how clever, how we'll read or
how interesting. If she is nervous
wreck she will find that little by little
her friends will see less and less of
her until in time she will find it rare
thing to have a caller. Not because
the friends mean to be unkind, but be-
cause human nature is so constituted
that it longs for happiness and warmth
not for sorrow and gloom.
The fundamental cause Of nervous
ness is lowered vitality. So the wise
woman will do everything she can to
keep her vitality up to its highest
mark. II she feels that her vitality IS
ebbing away she will stop everything
and concentrate on building up the
system, the nerve force and supply. :
