How .to Reduce the Meat dill,
The meat `hill is the first place
for the average housewife to look
for large -expenditures, and this is
largely because Canadians have not
yet learned the art of using every-
thing that is left over.
It is not an attractive combina-
tion of words, "left overs," when.
applied to to-niorrow'a luncheon or
dinner, but when used with judg-
ment, one's most intimate friend
would not recognize them.•
In the first place impress .. upon
your cook. the fact that the best
chefs in the world -the French—
never throw away even a teaspoon-
ful of vegetables. Everything is
saved and transformed into 'emcee
delicious bifid -hit -not to -morrow; as
the uninitiated Have a: prejudice
against "1141 h" and other homely
dishes. But if a day or two elapse
between the roast and "M+arguer-

Some Rhubarb Dainties.
Here are soma • good ways to make
rhubarb dainties:` Also our ,favor -

In preparing rhubarb do note
pe l
it, simply cut in ,small squares and
wash clean, This gives it that rich
red oolor which cannot be secured
if same is peeled.
fipple and Rhubarb Jelly.—Wash
and slice ten •stalks of rhubarb, cut
and core -three medium sized ap-
ples, then stew apples and rhubarb
together. Hang up in a jelly bag.
For every pint of juice take a pint
of .sugar. Boil till it jellies• and
pour into tumblers. -
Rhubarb anti Orange Marmalade.
--One quart rhubarb out in small
pieces, four oranges peeled and cut
fine, six cupfuls of sugar. Take
orange peel and run through meat
grinder. Make a syrup of the au-
ger and some water until it threads.
Put ingredients in. and simmer for
an hour. Put in jelly glasses and
seal with paraffin.
Tomato . Thubale.--Boil half a
pound of macaroni twenty minutes
strain it, and out into lengths which
will fit a. plain round mold; line the
mold with it, arranging the tap by
bending the macaroni in aspiral
form. Fill this mold with a mix-
ture made of one pound of 'toma-
toes, one pound of mushrooms and
a quarter -pound of grated cheese,
all pounded together with ` four
ounces of butter and the yolk of an
egg. season -with a little salt and
red pepper, Put a paper round the
mold and steam for on.e hour. Turn
out and serve with a, thick gravy, or
tomato sauce, round. This makes
an excellent first 'course di:ah for
luncheon.
Household ' Hints.
Corks may be made airtight ti
watertight by keeping them
and
im-
mersed in oil for five minutes.
Pickles may be kept from becom-
ing mouldy by laying a little bag
of mustard on the top of the pickle -
jar.
Crackers covered with grated
g ed.
cheese and toasted in the oven are
good served with . salad for lunch-
eon.
A little p
vinegar placed aced in the riiis.

To clean brass flower pots or
trans, rub them with a piece of le-
mon; 'then pour boiling water over
there, and finally polish with a soft
dry cloth.
T'oug'hness of angel cake is often
due to the foot that the eggs are

QUARTER -ACRE OF GROUND IN
ME/ICO CITY.
The Graves: Contain Bodies of the
Most Notorious Men in
Mexico.
The most famous and least invit-
ing quarter acre of ground in Mex-
ioo City is the Pantheon of ,San Fer-
nando, near to the church of: the
same name. It is a. quadrangular
plot of ground onelosed 'by high
walls and higher buildings. The
monuments- and tombs are of very
inferior design and of poor work-
mansh,ip and are, • with oneor two
exceptions, in bad taste. In this
little cemetery, " the gravels of which
are all mural, repose the bodies of
some of the most illustrious or no-
toriousmen. in Mexican ,;liietory,
Historically the most notable of
these men whose bodies are hare
returning to dust, are Benito Juar-
ez, Mejia and Mb -anion, shot to
death with the Emperor Maximilian
at Queretaro -June 19th, 1867.
Here, also,, are the bodies of -Win-
mate Guerrero, of General Zara-
goza, who fought and won the Rat-
tle of Guadalupe against the French
troops -May 6th, 1867; of President
Comonfort and of others just a lit-
tle less famous—heroes or scoun-
drels—by your political' preference.
A. Famous President.
Over the grave of, Benito Juarez
in this exclusive burying place
rises the most notable monument of
Mexican ,art in the ' Republic of
Mexico. It' is to -day in its marble
purity as fresh and clean as when
it was carried from the atelierof
the Islas brothers, 'the designers
and sculptors, and" rained on ita
foundations in this Pantheon, The.
effigy of the dead President stretch-
ed at full length rests on a Carara
bed, while the head of the recum-
bent figure reposes on the knee of
a beautiful but sorrowing 'female
figure, symbolizing the grief of
Mexico. Those who are qualified
to express expert opinion, pro=
aounoe this work of the Islas to be
superb and to take rank among the
best monumernrbs'of the Campo San-
to of Pisa.
The Spartan republic in thedays
of its •glory paid no higher honors
to Leonidas than 'has.Mexieo to the
half -Indian Juarez. After him is
named the Avenida. Juarez, His
statue fills a commanding place on.
the famous Paseo de la Reforms,
the fashionable drive from Mexico
City to Chapultepec, and even the
paaeeo itself is associated in its ori-
gin with his name, The Town of
Juarez, opposite El Paso, Texas, is
named after him. When, in 1861,
Juarez was ,seated in the Presiden-
tial chair, his first act was to pre-
vail upon Congress to .pass a law
suspending payment of the national
debt. After vainly protesting
against the injustice of the law,

�ttubbornly contested Forey's ad- TI
vance,. and at Puebla, • under Gen-
eral. Zaragoza, inflicted a humiliat-
ing defeat on the French 'forces.
The Emperor Napolion now en-
forced his will on Mexico, and; at
the memorable 'assembly of nota-
bias, held July 9, Maximilian, Arch-
duke of Austria, was tendered the
crown of , an hereditary monarchy
in Mexico.. MVLaximilian accepted
the invitation of the notables, and'
accompanied by Ins wife, the un-
fortunate . Carlotta, daughter of
the notorious Leopold I. of Belgium,
entered the City of Mexico; June 14,
1864, and, amid great. eclat and
solemnity, were crowned Emperor
and impress of Mexico in the ca-
thedral,. the Metropolitan Church
of Mexico. The deathblow to the
Empire 'was delivered. from the
United States, whaach " declined to
recognize in Mexico any govern-
ment which was not republican. The
French troops were called homie in
1867, and. Maximilian was unwisely
advised to remain and appeal for
support to the Conservative party.
Juarez, who at Paseo. del Norte
on the Texan frontier had claimed
and asserted his rights as Consti-
tutional President of the Republic,.
now moved with his armed support-
ers.on Torreon. He defeated Maxi-
milian's general, Miramon, at San
Jacinto, and drove him into the for-
tified City of Queretaro, where he
wins joined, by the' Emperor. Por-
firio Diaz now becomes a •conspicu-
ous figure in. Mexican history, and
begins to loom large on the horizon
of the nation.. After a siege•of
nearly a month he captured Puebla,
and, moving'out, he defeated the
imperial general, Marques, at San
Lorenzo, and laid siege to the City
of Mexico. Meanwhile the Repub-
lican general, Escobedo, attacked
axad captured the City of Quere-
taro,. May lo, making prisoners of
Maximilian and his staff. Maxi-
nulian was tried by court martial,
found guilty:' of an' assault on the
rights and liberties of the' Mexican
people, and 'with Generals Mijia
and Miramon
Condemned to Be Shot.
The sentence was executed on the
morning of June 19, 1867, on the
hill of Cerro de las Campanas, two
miles from the city The place of
execution was, until a few years
ago, marked by three stone pillars
enclosed by an iron railing. A
beautiful memorial chapel, built by
the ducal house of Austria, now
rises from the ground where the un-
fortunate Maximilian sank to his
death. In the Queretaro Museum
'of Antiquities are preserved many
pathetic souvenirs of the Emperor,
Among thein is an,oil painting of

For years there were threats of

treaty embodied no method for its
termination, and England ; always
protested that it had made. sub-'
stantial coneessio:p in carrying out'
the treaty, so that the United

"Thins 'it fell out that when the

Britain Seized Greytown in. Nicara-

Treaty Followed.
How it came about that Great
Britain was in a position to protest
successfully to President Wilson
against the proposed exemption of
American coastwise shipping from
the Panama Canal tolls, ev
though the United States has con
strutted th;e • canal at enormous ex-
pense, is thus told in :the Kansa
City Star :
Back in the forties the United
States was engaged in viewing with
alarm--to use - this words of the p
ty platforms—the expansion of Bra
tish . possessions in Central Ameri-
ca. The British Government own-
ed, and .still owns, a, strip of God-
forsaken countiy just south • of
Mexico on the Caribbean coast,
known as British Honduras. In
the decade immiedi,atelypreceding
the' middle of the last century the
British statesmen . started in to ac-
quire additional territory under the
familiar guise of establishing a�
`protectorate' for the benefit, of a
handy tribe of Indians.
"Pursuing this laudable end, her
Majesty's forces seized the Nicara-
guan' town of San Juan del Norte,
and re -named it Greytown. Now,
Greytown was no ordinary baanana
village. It was at the mouth of the
San Juan River, and at :that time it,
was universally supposed that the
only possible route for an Isthmian
canal was by way of this river to,
Lake Nicaragua. If England oon-
trolled . the mouth of the river it
would control the short cwt across
the isthmus. ,
• "Public opinion in the United
States was aroused to a high .stage
of indignation. To ease the situa-
tion' the ' Taylor Administration ne-
gotiated a treaty with'.. England to
stop further expansion of English
territory in the neighborhood of the
site of the canal and to insure its
freedom from British control when
it should be constructed: John M.
Clayton, .Secretary of State, con-
ducted the negotiations for the
United States, and Sir Henry Bul-
wer, British Minister, for Great
Britain.
Terms of the Treaty.
It must be borne in mind that the
United States art that time did not
dream, of undertaking the work of.
constructing the •canal, and its sole
purpose was to induce Great Bri-
tain to surrender the advantage of
canal control which its seizure of
territory would otherwise give it.
Accordingly the treaty pledged each
power `hot to assume dominion
over any part of Central:" America,.'
not to:.obtaim exclusive oontro1 over.
any canal`, whereverconstructed,
And not to erect fortifications over-
looking the canal . 'Besides, the two
