The war is of course responsible for these extraordinary conditions, which are additionally corsl lplicated by the unusual uncertain ties in home affairs.

For many weeks bank clearings m the United States have been running at about 50 per ce%A and more in ex- cess of last year; the greatest ratlo of increase generally being at Eastern Financial and manufacturing centerS.

BY BIDDY BYE


To most cooks mutton and lamb
suggest chops to fry or broil and legs
to roast, nothing more. But since
these parts are most in demand their
price has long since put them beyond
the reach of housewives who must
feed large families.
Mutton and lamb are splendid
foods for growing children, invalids
, and elderly people. 1t is desirable
that housewives should learn to Sc
lect cheaper cuts.
The expensive cuts are the Ioin
chops and roasts (6) and the rib
chops and crown roast a. with the
leg (8) for roasting.
When a large roast is required the
whole hind quarter of lamb is used.
A saddle of mutton consists of both
sides of the back bone Of the animal
between (6) and the chuck (2).
Sometimes the chuck and the
ribs are roasted together and called
the rack. The sweetbreads are used
for entrees.
The cheaper cuts are as nutritious
as the best cuts.
The flank CD is often cut to in

clude the whole under side of the an
imal. 1t is used for stewing.
The, breast (5) is delicious when
braized. Chops are cut from the
shoulder 90 or a stew called hot-pot
may be made by combining it with
Goldfish. The shoulder also makes a
delicate brOiling piece, but it is most
economical when cooked in casse-
role.
The neck (1) is used for broths;
or the meat may be boiled and used
in croquettes, or in combinations
with rice; or it may be shaped into a
pocket, stuffed with a bread crumb
dressing, and baked.
Sleeps trotters (9-10) are usually
baked with bread crumbs and served
with corn or oatmeal bread. They
are also used for picking and jellies.
Haggis is made from sleeps heart.
Sleeps head cheese, an old coun-
try dish, is merely meat loaf.
Lambs kidneys are usually broiled
with bacon on a skeWer.

er cuts of lamb and mutton will be
printed tomorrow.)

LITHoGRAPHY.

The first successful example of the lithographic art was produced 120 years ago by Alloys Senefelder Ba- yarian, who produced a piece of mus ic printed by this process Senefeld- ed was a composer, but he was too poor to bear the cost of having his work published. He then began to experiment. with the hope of discov ering some cheap method by which he could do the printing himself. The Photographic process was suggested to him by his having made for his moth CT a memorandum of clothes to be sent to the washer-woman. He carelessly wrote this memorandum on a slab of stone, intending to copy it. As the stone lay before him he thought of trying the effect of applying printers ink to the lines and thus take an inn pression. The experiment led to oth- CTS, and in 1796 Senefelder produced piece of music from lines drawn in slight relief on a slag of stone. The inventor obtained a patent for his pro cess in several of the German states, and labored to extend his art through out Europe. Every where it met with favor, especially in France.

 The Good Tidings almost had a very serious accident early yesterday morning. In the storm and sometime during the night she dragged her two anchors and she was within twenty feet of the town when she was discov- cred. Although the anchors held her yet it was matter of but short time when she would be dashed on the rocks. The owner, MT. Marsden, was awakened by one of the boys who went down the beach to attend to his own boat, and quickly the vessel was rescued and saved.

AMAZING SPECTACLE
 ON SOMME FRONT

The correspondent of the London Times on the Somme front, who claims to have witnessed many bloody battles, relates a late incident which he characterizes as suggestive. He says in part:
 During the fight of Saturday the front wave swept over Regina trench in pursuit of Germans already on the run.
 "A lieutenant who had been crouch ing in a "cubby" home, began firing his automatic pistol after our men. Unluclkily for him he had forgotten all about the second wave, and before he could stir or cry out, one of our men was on him with the bayonet.
 Quite a number of Germans scram- bled out of their trench and came run ming to meet our men, with arms up and fingers spread to show they were not clasping bombs. The attack was not to be held up, therefore, the order was passed to let them through.
 "So the amazing spectacle was wit messed of British soldiers charging in one direction, bayonets poised, and German warriors bolting in the other, hand in air.
 Tt is stated that German officers who attempted to arrest this flight were shot by their own men. There have been several authenticated in- stances of late.
 "A significant fact is that several machine gun teams voluntarily sur rendered. The machinegunners con stitute a corps d'elite, and every mem Der takes an oath never to yield.
 "As a rule this is kept, and that it should have been thus deliberately broken is suggestive.

First reports from over the country
indicated that Charles Evans Hughes
had been chosen as our next presi.

claimed by the Republicans. 1t was
learned that the president had again

had been confidently counted on by
the Republicans to return substantial
majorities for Hughes and Fairbanks,
will cast their electoral votes for Will

The next house of representatives
will be Republican by at least a ma
5ority of ten. The senate will be
Democratic.
The election was filled with sur
prises. some of them most startling in
character. One of the surprises was
the close race in Kansas, hitherto
Republican stronghold
Interest was focused on Illinois.
That was officially set down as the
state upon which the national contest
would swing. Illinois went for Hughes.
The women furnished the surprises
in this state. There were 100000 OF
them at the polling places during the
day.
The labor vote In some OF the rail.

but the swing of business men to the
Republican ticket made up for this de
