Once the waste dump received tho
sweepings and filings Of jewelers. and
silversmiths, no attention being paid
to the wealth thus lost and destroyed.
BY new methods of refining grains of
gold, silver and platinum are saved
in amounts which run up to thousands
Of dollars in value.
One concern which has built up a
big industry along these lines has paid
as high as $4,000 a ton for sweepings
which once found their way into city
dumps. For essaying sweepings a Sc
ries Of n ounce samples r treated
and a variation of a hundredth of a
grain of gold in an unc means a
difference of SIS a ton to an offer to
purchase the, refuse.
Sweepings received in the rough are
first burned in specially built furnaces
and the ashes carefully collected ard
ground to a fineness that permits their
passing through a fine mesh sieve.
The different grades Of sweeps are
then mixed. The fux and litharge are
added in the mixture and the entire
lot put in a briquetting machines,
which forms the mass into bricks for
smelling. The lead is separated in the
first process from the gold, silver and

Choosing Mutton.

Mutton is generally considered the
most healthful meat, and is eaten by
many, to the exclusion of any variety.
Consequently great care should be ex-
ercised in the selection, and a little
time should be given to the study Of
quality.
In buying mutton Cor lamb) care
should be taken to see that the fat is
clear, hard and white, as mutton with
soft or yellow fat indicates too long u
stay in cold storage. It might appear
that a great quantity Of fat on mutton
signifies waste; but the lean part is
much juicier and more tender when
this is the case, so the wise housewife
makes purchases with this in view.
The leg has the least fat in proper
ton to weight. Next comes the Shout
der. The color of lean mutton is a
deep red.
Lamb is good to eat when one year
old and is much more digestible than
other immature meat, such as veal or
young pork. The wise housewife
knows the value of nutrition, SO she
will hesitate about buying lamb mere
" because it is in market, az it is gen.
orally expensive.
The meat of spring lamb should he
q clear pink, with plenty of pure white
fat.-New York Sun.

Move the Carpet.

Every now and then, instead Of al
lowing the stair carpet to remain in
exactly the same position as first
placed, the tread Of the carpet should
be moved a couple of inches or SO
either up or down. This has the effect
Of keeping the pile of the carpet In a
uniform condition, and, besides retain
ing the fresh appearance of the car
pet. 1t helps it to last much longer
than it would If left exactly as laid
says the Washington Herald. It costs
nothing to do this, but saves much.

Measuring Cups.

Three measuring cups in the kitchen
will simplify many cooking processes,
writes q contributor to the Ladies'
Home Journal Have two Of glass and
one Of tin One glass cup with q raised
rim Is especially good for measuring
liquids, as the rim prevents them from
running otter The other glass cup, for
measuring -four, should be without
such q rim, 80 the extra -four may be
smoothed OF with Q knife. The tin
cup may be kept for measuring hot
water or for shortening that e to be
be heated.

measures made by man. Neverthe.
less, although these services are def
mite in their breadth, at least we can
specify some Of them. We know, for
example, that the mind must be abba
to grasp distractions; and so we ap-
ply mathematics. We know that it
must have perspective and back
ground If it is to understand the pass
ing show of brief reality allowed it;
and SO we instill history. We know
that it must be able to interpret char.
acter, to feel the loftiest emotion, to
perceive beauty and enjoy it; and SO
we give it literature and the arts. Man
is to be liberalized. He is to be taught
to comprehend life.-Henry 8. Candy

Our Yearninq for the Hills.

How much Of the influence of early
environment, of those habituated re.
actions which comprise for each one
Of us the iron ring of his destiny,
there is in ever u deeper attitude to-
ward the external world-toward
what we call Nature! Not long ago
I spent many weeks in the prairie
country Of the west, a sense of oppres-
sion constantly increasing in weight
upon my spirit. Those endless, level
plains! Those roads that stretched
without a break to infnity! A house,
a group of barns, a fruit-orchard, now
and then a clump Of hardwoods, alone.
broke the endless, flat monotony of
snow-coyered f1elds-no, not fields,
but infnitudes where a single furrow
could put a girdle about an entire
township in my home land! My soul
hungered for a hill; my heart craved,
with a dull longing, the sight of a max.
ed birch-tree flung aloft against the
winter sky. Back through the endless
plains Of Illinois the train crawled,
away from the setting sun. But the
next daylight disclosed the gentle roll
ing slopes of the Mohawk valley, and
before many hours had passed the
Berkshire hills were all about, like
familiar things recovered. The camel.
hump of Greylock to the north was
sa~pphire-blue and reckoning. The
nearer mountains wore their reddish
mantles, pricked with green, above
the snowy intervals. and laid their up
reared outlines stark against the sky.
Shadowy rayines let into their TANKS,
suggestive OF roaring brooks and the
mystery Of the wilderness. The clouds
trailed purple shadOw-anchors; the
sun flashed from the ice on their sa-
cred lodges. And a weight seemed
suddenly lifted from my spirit. The
words of the ancient Psalmist came to
my lips un~consciously: Il will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills. From
whence cometh my help? My help
cometh from God."-Nralter Prichard
Eaten in Harper's Magazine.
