I have just finished putting up a quarter of beef, and my pride in the long row of shining tin cans isscarce- ly equal to my surprise at how quickly and easily it was all done, The man who sold me my tin - canning outfit last fall told of stop- ping in a chance manner at the home of one of his clients and being request- ed to state which of fifteen different kinds of meat he would like for din- ner. Then, he went on to say, she served to him twenty minutes later -- roast beef with brown gravy, While I can boast of no such var- iety, I could serve to a surprise guest any of the following: sirloin steak, two ways, straight and smothered in onions;' porterhouse steak with pan gravy; roast beef; beefstew; meat rolls; not to mention soup. All of the meat except that for beef stew was cooked before it was put into the cans. Meat rolls made from the round are a teal delicacy. The meat is cut about half an inch thick and in pieces wide enough to roll and tie. Pieces six inches long will just fit into quart cans lengthwise after they have been fried, Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finely chopped onions. Cut bacon in thin slices and put a slice on each piece of meat. Roll each piece up tight and tie with a string. Now sear these well in hot fat, browning on all sides. Add water and allow to simmer for thirty minutes. Remove the strings and pack hot into tin cans, pouring the hot gravy over it. Of course you must sterilize the cans—for the rolls it takes two and a half hours he boiling water, or sixty minutes under fifteen pounds' pres- sure. When a can finishes cooking, I remove it to the sink and turn the cold -water faucet onto It. All sizeehle pieces from the rump, prime ribs and sirloin from around the sup bone went into 'the roasting pan in theoven till done. Thcac were packed into quart cans, covered with the browned meat juice and drippings and cooked in the cans the same length of time as the meat rolls. The bones were removed from steaks before frying so as to get as much meat as possible into a can. All of the bones were cooked and the stock canned. Slices of onions, nicely browned, were laid between the small steaks as they were packed into the cans. Just a few of the sirloin steaks were canned this way. The others, including the tender fil- lets, were only seasoned with salt and pepper. The leg and scraps from the other cuts went into beef stew and goulash. With the former, the meat was packed cold into the cans, the crevices filled with boiling water, sea- soning added, and the cans then sealed and cooked in boiling water for three hours. I used this method of making gou- lash: The meat was cut into inch squares and sprinkled with flour mix- ed with salt and pepper and browned in hot fat. Then chopped celery, on- ions and carrots were added and the whole stirred frequently, To this was added tomato soup and stock and the whole allowed to simmer forty-five Minutes. After which it was put into cans, sealed and cooked in boiling water two hours,—T. W. Ideal Winter Ploygqround' Only 2 Days from NewYork Sailings Twice Weekly .Leaving N.Y. W.A. and Sot.

I think a school teacher of my ac- quaintance has solved the hot lunch problem very satisfactorily and effi- ciently, This school teacher' was a man, and as the school had no older girl pupils he hit upon this plan of providing a warm lunch at noon, He purchased a galvanized wash boiler and a cold -pack rack. This, with a brace the blacksmith welded on the stove, comprised the complete expen- diture—less than four dollars. Each family of one os' two children bring a pint jar of "dinner." In a family of three or more, two pint jars are used. The bringing of tea and coffee is absolutely prohibited. During the first recess the teacher places the boiler and contents on the stove, with enough water to submerge the cans nicely, By noon, the he ecu is piping hot, and best of all, without any confusion, waiting, experimenting or dishwashing. Then, too, each child has for lunch just what he likes best. Mother knows better than anyone what her kiddies like and dislike. There are endless variations: Cocoa, celery soup, creamed tomato soup, rice pudding,, etc. He has used this hot lunch plan since Thanksgiving. Each day It has been a voluminous success.

Written by Honneger, a French composer, one of the notorious group known as the Paris Six, its title is "Pacific 2511" It was performed for the first time In England a few days ago by the Halle Orchestra, and at the rehearsal Mr. Hamilton Harty requested the players to give it their particular attention owing to its peculiar character. All sorts of strange noises wore emitted, shrill will/Ales, the shovelling of coal into the fire -box, the thunderous shunt- ing of wagons, the rushing of thetrain along the metals, the climax coming with a deafening boom. The silence at the end was suddenly broken by a sepulchral voice from one of the dou- ble basses droning out "Tickets, Please!" Incidentally, when the piece was played at night, hisses mingled ! with the applause, an unusual liappen- wing in England, 4997. Printed chiffon voile is here portrayed.

I have a notebook which I call my guest menu book, Therein are writ- ten alphabetically the names of all our friends and relatives who gather around our board more or less fre- quently. On the left aide, of the page under each name I have written a list of the foods of which I know that par- ticular individual is especially fond. To the right of the page is thelist of foods which I know he does not like, With this list it is a comparatively easy matter to make out a menu for the guests that are coming.. It is so much more of a': pleasure' to prepare a meal which you lcnow your guests will relish than ono you hope they will like, Looking at it from the guests' ONLY WArrI ee, "The marriage arranged between Mr. Peter Gaivock of The Lees, and Kinluce, Ayrshire, and' Miss Carlotta Carlyon will net'take place." These words danced before Alan Ranldne's - eyes, and sent the blood pounding tohis temples, oundin tem les as he turned his newspaper, in. a corner of a third- class compartment of a Glasgow train. It was only Wednesday morning- three days'since that fateful Sunday destined to alter the current of so many lives. Carlotta had spoken, then, and with no uncertain voice. Many eyes had noted these signifi- cant words, so bald and definite, and' giving no hint of the tragedy which so often lies behind. On the whole, the expressed feeling had been one of relief and satisfac- tion. It is not well—they said—that a man should marry out of his. class. But what was Peter Gasvocic's class, and what Carlotta's? Time would tell! It was eleven o'clock of the day, and but few passengers patronized that train, which was a slow one, stopping at most of the stations on the way. Alan had one fellow -passenger in his compartment—a large, comfortable, niotherly-looldng woman of the work- ing-class, dressed in her best, and with a substantial, roomy hand -bag bulging on her arm. She knew hien very well, and had suffered a moment of breathless ex- citement when he swung himself into the corner just as the train was mov- ing out. When the Laird of Stair had been a little curly -headed laddie, vefh a face like the morning, she had been a kitchenmaid in his mother's house. She had been happy there, too, and her interest in Stair had remained vivid and kindly through a life of excep- tional stress aced care. "Carlotta has spoken then," said Stair to himself, as the black type danced before his eyes. "'The mar- riage arranged will not take place.' Why? Because, some day and some- where, another had been arranged since the beginning of time." Suddenly the narrow compartment seemed to close in upon Alan Rankine, and, with a desperate effort, he lower- ed his paper, and proffered a request to his .fellow -passenger. "Would you mind if I opened an- other window, madam? It is very close this morning." f`I dinna mind. I'd like it," she answered, with a wide, kind smile. "It's very warm for Aprile. I walkit in frac Alloway, and I found that!" "Thank you," said Stair, and drop- ped the window to its lowest, . "Fine weather we're gettin', sir," pursued tho lady with kindly garrul- ity, and encouraged by his tone and manner. "But maybe you don't find it very warm after the Indies?" Stair could not but smile at this 1 naive conveyance of recognition. "I like the home climate best," he assured her. "You live in Alloway then?" "I do—my name is Susan Simpson. My man's deid. I used to serve at Stair in your mither's time, sir, and • I mind ye a little wee chap—like !this!" she added, measuring the height with her hand. "Eh, sic a ras- ! cal! But the very nipple o' every e'e at Stair—just as ye are now, sir, I dinna doeti" Stair smiled, not resenting this Iclaim upon him; nay, responsive, as were all the Rankines, to kindness from gentle or simple. There was no aloofness about them! They were kindly, human peopleconceding to others less exalted the right to live, .' and even to share the fee !ngs com- ' neon to humanity. , ` "Dear me, how interesting! I sup- pose you have a family of your own?" "Ay—seeven, a' scattered, I'm awe' up to the Infirmary. to see my young- est—Easybell. She had an operation last Wednesday. She's 'dein' fine."

Not long ago M, Paderewski, was playing: to himself on board a steamer, and: a gpassengter sent around a request asking brut to stop his noise. Less uncomplimentary, but not less surpris- ing, is an incident which occurred only last Christmas as a small village in Switzerland. Adance comivittee were hard up for a pianist for their annual ball. Bearing of. their plight, a practi- ce] joker wrote:. "-1'here,,is a man named Pederewski who plays the piano, but he is out of work and would like a Job this win- ter. He live at Merges, near Lau- sanne," The nta,n named Paderewski was Immediately written to by the commit- tee, anti a.. small sum was offered -for his services! But if the committee had leaver heard of Paderewski, Paderewski had never heard of the committee, and the offer was declined. As a matter of fact, this was a hap- py thing for the dance comivittee, since if M. Paderewski had started playing, no one would have danced at all—they would. all have been content to sit and listen! Home Politics. It is no surprising thing nowadays to find a woman, who takes an Interest In politics, but. Lady Cynthia Asquith is particularly keen, and not merely on account of the fact that Mr. II.'H, Asquith is her father-in-law. One of leer best stories relates to. a political waverer. The waverer's wife was asked: "re your husbend it Liberal or a Con. sert'ative?" "wen," replied the lady,. "when he's. with a Liberal he's a Liberal, but when he's with a Conservative he's a Con- servative." - • "Yes, but 'what is he when he's at home?" asked the questioner. "Oh," said the lady, "when he's aZ home he's a downright nuisance." Keep Calm! It is' one of the anomalies of this world that, whereas we frequently look anxiously at the clock, the clock is the most prosaic and orderly of ar- ticles. Thio theory seems only once to have been expressed in a public ut- terance, and maybe Lord Darling, who was responsible for the utterance, has himself forgotten it. He made it . many years ago, when he was a very junior counsel. He was addressing a jury at. the Quarter Sessions, and the Chairman presently interposed, "Mr. Darling," be said patiently, "have you noticed the position of the hands of the clock?" "Yes, sir," replied Darling, "But, with respect, I see nothing to cause anxiety, They seem to me to be' where they usually are at this time of the day." An Unconscious 13Iuff. In Nevada in the early eighties it . was the rule for a man to "tote a gun." But Henry Gillis was an exception; to him, undersized though he was, a gun was a nuisance. Only on rare occa- sions when he drove the mine buck- board loaded with the week's clean-up did he carry a. six-shooter, One day ellen he teas about to transport bullion from a mine in the Comstock Lode country to the nearest railway station a burly tramp asked permission to go. along. Suspecting nothing, Gillis gave the stranger a lift. All went well for an hour or so, The tramp seemed preoccupied and tacti- turn, Gillis himself was never talka- tive. After crossing part of the desert the road climbed through a rugged foothill country. At a point where it cone out on the face of a precipice the tramp glanced furtively in both di- rections, "Out of the corner of my eye," said Gillis, in telling of the experience, "I saw the stranger stealthily draw a big clasp knife from his trousers' pocket. Intently he watched me while I appear- ed to be occupied with the reins. The weather had been cold, so we had the lap robe well over our knees. "Driving -with my left hand, I sud- denly reached under the robe for my gun, which I carried under my left leg. As the tramp opened his knife wills its six-inch blade I a'aIsed the hammer of my pistol and held the gun close to his body. We exchanged glenctl3. for what seemed like a min- ute. At last his eyes dropped. Nei'. voeeslp fumbling in his pocket, he get out a chunk of tobacco, cut off a piece and offered it to mo. I lowered ray- gun. ygun. and we reached the depot with. out further trouble, Not a word had been spoken. 1 "I delivered (:lee bullion, which amounted to about sixteen thousand I dollars, and told the agent about •the tramp. Listening, he absently toyed with my six-shooter. Suddenly he :'broke' the gun, exposing the cartridge chambers. All were empty!"

Athur—"Well, if you heel a very long dog, reaching from London to Liverpool, and you trod on ltd tail in London, it would bark in Liverpool. That's telegraphy.
