THE USE OF UTENSILS

Fine cooking depends much on the
judicious use of utensils. One cele-
brated chef was devoted to the use of
seves, and visitors admitted to his
kitchen gazed awestruck at the num-
Der of sieves of every imaginable
shape and every possible degree of
fneness. Such ideas may be ridiculed
as "fads' but they prove at all events
an attention to detail without which
there can be no good cooking. 1t is
very little additional expense to
kitchen outfit to have proper skim
mers, ladies. long spoons, measuring
cups, tunnels and yet they make a
great difference in the accuracy of the
work. All these implements are now
made in enameled ware, which much
simplifies the care they ned to be kept
in good order. 1t also insures the best
results for the cooking as these
spoons. ladies and skimmers can be
used with perfect safety in acids and
will not darken any sauce, however
delicate.

Engine Needed Water
Tower in Big Hurry

An Illinois railroad was in a hurry
for a water tower at one of it's small
town stations recently, says the Feb
ruary Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Inasmuch as the ordered tower per-
sstently failed to arrive, officials felt
it necessary to use emergency means.
An empty coal car standing on side
track was seized upon, robbed of its
trucks, and elevated to the top of n
tower erected alongside the roadbed.
The elevating process was carried out
with the help of jacks, the ties form
ing the tower being placed beneath the
car as fast as raised. Cracks in the
sides and bottom of the imDrovised
tank were calked. and newly erected
pumping station speedily filled the in
ierior with the much desired water.
The odd station has been faithfully
supplying passing locomotives ever
since.

unlikely.
March and Pennington were convicted

farm superintendent, and the Supreme
Court declined to interfere with the
verdict. Determined efforts to secure

then three applications for rehearings
have been refused and in order to al

of Pardons refused a rehearing last
month and the Governor stayed the
execution after pleas had been made
to him. The last application for a re-
hearing was heard yesterday and eX-
