Pot roasts have long been known among the thrifty poor, for by this method of cooking the coarse, cheap cuts of meat may be rendered ten-, der and palatable. Moreover, very little fire suffices for a pot roast, and this is a great consideration when coal is at winter prices. An ordinary meet requires a prime font of meat, a large fire and con - stent attention; A pot roast gives results .almost as good with an in- ferior cut of meat, a small fire and scarcely any attention. The primitive way of producing e pot roast is to use an iron saucepan. ''but it must be cen,fessed that better ode e a - the the in iI- ely he at he the e.f If re or a v- nd w e s e e n e th n e y results are obtained if use is m of a. covered pot of coarse earth ware, which ,should be placed in oven instead of being stood over fire. Such a pot can be bought many different sizes. In pot roasting the meat placed in the pot with a little bo ing water; the lid is kept clog covered to shut in the steam, t heat of which penetrates the me and softens the gelatine and t coarse fibres of•tlre meat. By time this is done the outer part the meat begins to take unto itse the rich color and flavor which a usually associated with baked roast meats. Even pot roasts e be modified to make them more spa ory than plainly cooked meat, a the directions below show ho cheap and. despised foods may b used to the 'best advantage. Pot Roast Beef.—Take 6 pound of brisket of beef and remove th bones and cartilage, which can b used later kr soup making. Co the beef and keep it in positio with skewers and;string, PIace th beef in a. saucepan with a pint o boiling water. Before putting 0 the lid cover the top of the pot wi a layer of kitchen paper to shut i the steam. Place the saucepan i a hot oven or stand it over the fir and allow the water to boil rapids Me an hour. See that the pot doe not boil dry: At the end of an hour stand the pot on the hob or in the censer of the kitchen range. Stand it lir°s cool part of the oven and -in either case let the cooking con- tinue slowly for three hours. This joint may be eaten. hot, but it is more delicate if it is placed while hot under the pastry board with one or two flatirons on top and a.Ilo'wed to remain until it is quite cold. Spiced Beef. -Take a piece•of shin beef weighing about four pomade, brush over the outside with vine- gar and dredge it lightly with pow- dered allspice. Place the meat in the pet with a pint of boiling water and proceed as for roast of beef, but let the slow cooking last for two and a half hours only. This may be eaten either hot or ,cold. If hot serve it with well boiled carrots, turnips and onions, mashed with .a little butter; if cold serve salad or sliced cueurruber as accompani- ments. Breast of Mutton. --Remove the skin from a breast irf mutton, roll the ,breast and place it in .a pot with a pint of boiling water. Cover the pot well and let the cooking pro- ceed very briskly for an hour. At the end of that time lift out the breast and spread it on a chopping board. As soon as it is cool enough tohandle remove all the bones. Mince finely a large Spanish onion, add a teacupful of white bread crumbs, a small teaspoonful of pow- dered sage and a seasoning of pep- per and salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the surface of the breast of mutton, which should then be rolled round and secured 'th wr meat in the pot and allow the slow cooking to continue three hours. A. savory variation of this dish oar be tirade by omitting the sage and onion stuffing, and sprinkling the meat with a little curry powder be- fore rolling it. Oyster of Veal. — Buy three pounds of the `stewing part. of a shoulder of veal; Remove the bons and fill the cavity with a. stuffing made of one -.half pound of sausage rneat mixed with a. teaspoonful of chopped parsley and . half a tea- spoonful of ,swe•et herbs, Place the meat in the pot with a pint of boil- ing water. Cover the pot closely, cook the meat fast for one hour and slowly for two. A. great improve. ment will be found if a few rashers of bacon or thin slices of salt pork are placed in the pot when the slow cooking is commenced. Household hints.

One of the most arduous'duties wshich fall.g to the lot of the soldiers is perhaps that of outpost wort; ' the special functions of which are to gather information concerning the enemy's movements. In order to obtain this information nearly ,eery device is tried; one such method is shown above. Under certain :eouditions a windmill offers a good point of vantage for ass observer, who stands on the axle, lining his body up against the,arm of the sail. Concerning the general duties of outposts, the following quotation from an officer',s letter was pub- lished recently in The Timers ; "I went on about 300 yards in front of my scouts. It was a pretty jumpy- job. The enemy's tren,ohes were about 950 yards from ours.. I paced about 150 yards and then got down on my hands and knees and crept on for some way, expecting every moment to run into tho German trenches. It was pretty black, and I could only see a few, yards in front of me, I had a loaded re- volver and map with me. Every now and then I came across a dead German. Well, 1 couldn't thinly:: why I hadn't struck the trenches, so I went off on my left a. bit. The eters had gone in and I was pretty well lost in the middle of this big plateau." piecrust, thus making it heavy crust should be brahed ovb beaten white of an. egg. Many persons are fond•est e cations h by marry rsonseaa agre- ,ttlwraught to. oi�rt to p the d n e anent of this supply, The coal pro- duction ,of France is 45,000,000 tons a year; :and with the need of that country for every man capable of bearing arms, curtailment of the coal output there may be appre- hended. Russia brings to the sur- face of the earth on the average 23,- 000,000 tons a. year. The great coal digger of Europe is Great Britain, where annually 332,000,000 tons are brought from out of the earth. •The sleekening of industry in Europe and cbusequent slump in the demand for coal for manufac- turing, for locomotive driving and ship driving may avert a coal famine and; the production may not fall be- low the demand for domestic or house-warming purposes in the countries at war and those neutral countries which in times of peace have depended for coal on the •countries at war. On the other hand, there may be a stimulation of industry in those neutral countries, and hardship raay be experienced in driving the wheels of the factories and mills. Italy is an illustration of this. She produces only 700,000 tons of coal a year and is dependent mainly on Importation. Great. Britain, be- cause of overtime work in many in- dustries on account of the war ;and because of the, non -interruption of her over-seatrade, is probably burning more opal than in normal times and has less to export. Coal experts, however, incline to the belief that in. Europe the dimin- ished supply will be offset by the diminished demand and that the people of the fighting countries -- those who have been left at (home -- will not suffer from a coal famine. In the neutral countries dependent on tlhe importation of coed—ltetly, Greece, Sweden, Denmark and Nor- way and the eountries of South Amerioar--there may be a demand for eoal which will make a .terrible pull on the coal shipping capacity of Great Britain and the United States. rush but hesitate eo have it after because the pan is so .unpleasant and difficult to Olean.

By the Admiralty's instructions perfect models are made in paraffin wax of every new battleship before it is laid down, and these models are rested in a. tank specially erect- eel for the purpose, The models are from 12 feet to 24 feet long, and the tank is 400 feet long and 20 feet wide. The models are made of wax be- zause it is a material which does not absorb water or change its weight, and so that alterations can be easi- ly made, Fleets not of wax, but of silver and gold, are kept by our Ring and also by the (Kaiser.
