inquiry to the solitary occupant who
tarried there. Kitty Gray, wrapped
in her own anXieties, did not catch
this look of solitude, but as they all

her faithful servant, she cast herself
upon a couch in sudden access Of APP

Then she paused, her breath held

Left-overs, like the poor, ARE al

There are none who care to know
that they are being served with left
overs, no matter how appetizing these
may be made. Yet, even in the best
regulated families there are bits of
leftover food which. il care and
thought is used, may be served again
without suspicion that they are re-
hashed.
The soup kettle has been aptIy
termed the kitchen waste basket, re-
ceiving many choice manuscript
which might otherwise go for naught.
Foods thrown away by extraVagant
cooks would feed an entire family, and
we'll.
Now for few examples; The bones
and carcass OF turkey cracked and
put into cold water. then brought to
the simmering point and cooked for
several hours, makes a good favored
broth which may be used in any num-
Der of ways-to make soup, as a
liquid for meat sauces, and as flavor

(also left-over) placed in a baking
dish and covered with seasoned
mashed potato. brushed with egg TO
make a nice brown crust then baked,
is dish which the entire family will
like.
A half cupful OF stewed tomato, less
or more, may be added to the turkey
bone broth with celery salt salt, pep
per, and two tablespoonfuls OF boiled
rice, and you have fine hot soup TO
serve on cold night.
A half cupful of canned salmon is
left over from previous meal. Shred
the fish with two forks, add a chopped
sour pickle or few olives, some
chopped cabbage and little celery,
with a simple boiled dressing, the re-
suit is most appetizing salad which
may be served on lettuce or shredded
cabbage. Tuna fish is especially good
served this way or with hot riced pO-
tatoes. Place the hot fish in the cen
ter OF hot platter, surround with sea
soned riced potatoes, then around this
pour thick, rich white sauce.
When cooking carrots to serve in
any ordinary way, reserve a few
cooked whole, then later serve them
cut in strips seasoned with butter
and lemon juice. Serve very hot. A
grating of nutmeg or a dash or two
of cayenne pepper is liked by some for
a little zest.
Any small amount of cranberry jelly.

Obadiah, logging 1t at the peak of his effort, managed to make the bank scant few feet in ad vance of the bull and essayed to leap the thirty feet between the banks.

The Gentle Bloodhound.

Nc real reason exists fo1. the com mon belief that the bloodhound is a fierce animal, ready to tear the person
 whom it may be tracking to pieces. It is, on the contrary, rather noted for it's gentlenkss, even seeming timid, un- less especially trained to attack. The origin of the breed. according to Count Le Couteulx de CanteIeu, the greatest living authority on the subject, is from the St. Hubert of St. sHubert's abbey in the Ardennes. It dates from the earliest agesl and the breed certainly existed in the time of the GauIs. As regards the name bloodhound, the Count Le Couteulx believes that when fox hunting in something like it's pres ent form was instituted it was found thas the sleuthhound was not fast enough for the purpose, and the pres ent foxhound was evolved from vari- ous material and about this time it became usual in speaking of the old hound of the country to call him the bloodhound, meaning the hound of pure blood (as might be said of a blooded horse), to distinguish him from the new hound or foxhound There is only one breed of pure, genuine blood hounds. and that is the English.

To know the finest method for mak
 pg chocolate or cocoa one must learn f the practice in Spain or in one of he Spanish American countries. There one finds out two important things
 The first concerns the utensil in which
 he chocolate is made. Our nearest approach to this is an enameled ware double boiler. Indeed. this Is a per feetly satisfactory substitute for the heavy and fragile chocolate pots fa- vored by some of the Spanish coun- tries. The second point is that choco- late is better if not served freshly made. Chocolate and cocoa are much smoother and the flavor is much inn proved if they are prepared some hours before service. Cook the chocolate in the enameled ware boiler very thor oughly. Set in a cool place and let stand until required. Then heat to the boiling point and serve either with or without whipped cream.

 City sherin Abe Levy served the attachment two days ago and he en- deavored to sell the horse at auction in the barnyard of pr. A. J. southey, veternarian on John street.
 when the reputation of the original saIack Lyburnp was discussed by such expert horsemen as James Jacques, Arthur E1wood, Frank Daniels all of this city, and Harry Sherwood, an ex- pert horse1nan of South port, the bids ran high and it is said that Jacques offered s1,zO0 for the stallion when Sherwood excited the gathering by saying that he would pay $1s500 for the animal if f41e auctioneer could prove and guarantee that it was Jack Isyburn.''
 Auctioneer Levy said that he was unable to guarantee that the animal was the horse it was alleged to be, saying that all he knew about it was Fnat he read and heard of it. Jacques then withdrew his bid and others fol- lowed suit until the price fell to- an eHen s100 It was raised to s250 and Joseph Leipitzs a local saloon keeper. and a real estate dealer. offered $275 for the stallion. This bid remained sEationary for half hour and the animal was then sold to Leipitz for the above amount.
 The animal was owned by Dr. Mill age MoIlins, who had offices in the Arcade. Alderson invested $1,0OO with MoI1ins early last December and few days after Dr. Mollin could not be located. Alderson sold a quantf- ty of the horse food to a local ice c6mpany and after it had been eaten by one Of the animals if was found that the horse contracted cholera mOrbus.
 Alderson has placed the matter in the hands of Attorney George Kane and action for $2,000 damages is peAding the opening of the February term of the common pleas court. pr.

Raising Fenoeposts.

x The increased demand for fenceposts has induced some far seeing farmers to raise them for sale as we'll as for their own use. It takes time, of course, to do this, yet shorter period than most persons suppose, A plantation of To- custs can be brought to fence post size in Ave years from seed. The seed are first scalded with boiling water and then after soaking overnight are sow ed an inch apart in rows two feet apart They are subsequently thinned to stand four inches apart and are mulched with straw during the first year. As they increase in size they are again thinned until they stand finally eight feet apart. From time to time as growth develops they are trimmed to prevent their becoming top heavy, and at the end of the fifth year they are ready for the market Each tree will cut an average of three posts. and 65o trees are grown to the acre. In most localities these will sell for from 20 to 35 cents each, netting the farmer no less than $500, or $65 per acre per year -Exchange.

An interesting instance in history of the twisted application of the names of people is afforded by the case of the word "sIave.'' Now. the Slavi tribes dwelling on the banks of the Dnieper, derived their appellation from "Slav," meaning noble or tllustrious- In the days of the later Roman em- pire vast numbers of these Slavs were taken over by the Romans in the con dition of captive servants, and in this way the name of the tribes came in time to carry with it the idea of low state of servitude. the exact antithe- sis of it's original meaning and one that has survived to this time.
