The value of sue! is ofien little under- stood by the housekeeper, and much of it is wasted that ought to be made use of. It is valuable for shortening and for frying in connection with lard, cooking oil or any oily fat. The grease from fowls, which is so oily that many people never think of using it, can be made a good medium for frying by adding an equal amount of suet which has been care fully tried out. Food fried in it soaks lat less than when pure lard is‘used, The season's first cold may be slightâ€"may yield to early treatment, but the next cold will hang on longer; it will be more “troublesome, too.

Cover closely and set in a cool place and it will keep indefinitely. As Shorteningâ€"If the suet is chopped so fine as to be creamy. it can be used in almost any food requiring shorten- ing, the usual trouble being that in food eaten cold the particles of suct if coarse make the food unpalatable. Pie crust, when made of the finely chopped suet is as good as that made of lard or cooking oil, and for meat pies it makes an ex- cellent crust. For this use % cup finely chopped suet, 3 cups flour sifted with 1 teaspoon salt and 6 level teaspoons bak- ing powder. Mix a soft dough with 1 cup ice'water, then roll out to fit the top of the baking dish. This is also suitable for the crust of fruit puddings to be baked or steamed. If the suet is used after being treated out less should be used as it packs so closely that one is liable to use too much. As suet can be bought for 5 cents a pound anywhere, and has little waste in it, there is quite a saving over lard at 9 or 10 cents. Eggs are used either hard boiled and sliced or the hard-boiled yolks may be grated and sprinkled over or around a dish; the grated yolks are effective on spinach. Pager frills for decorating broiled chops are made by folding and {ringing thin letter paper, then wrapping around the end of the chop to keep ihe grease from coming through. Parsley and watercress are the most practical garnishes, for they look well with almost any dish. If parsley is not obtainable fine celery tips may be used. Lemons are used more for fish than meats, such as fried oysters and lobster Eutlets. They are cut in quarters, and a portion served on the plate of each person. Boiled caf-lrots and beets, sliced with vegetable cutters into fancy shapes, are nice for cold meats and have a pretty effect. around a white entree.

Use kerosene on a cloth or ammonia. ‘ Tin boilers and other tin articles of household service must. be thoroughly dried before putting away, or rust, will quickly appear. Kerosene will remove rust from tins, irons, door-hinges, keys, etc. Bread and cake boxes should be well washed once or twice a week with warm water and soap, and dried thoroughly, and left with lid open to air well before being used, otherwise the contents will become mouldy and musty, and the box itself rusty. Dish and glass towels should be thor- oughly washed every day in hot, very soapy, water.

But as exponents of that virtue which stands next to godliness, he maintains that ants stand pre-emi- nent, and if the human race would pat- tern after them in this respect. half the diseases on which doctors thrive would vanish. Ants. he declares. abhor dirt in any form about their persons. Nature has provided them with implements that serve the same purpose as combs and brushes in the hands of civilized folk, and they make far more effective use of them. They are never too busy to clean themselves. No job is so important to an ant that. he won’t knock off work to clean himself. He does not wait until the day‘s labors are finished to perform his ablulions. He is never too tired to lend another (ml a handâ€"or rather a logâ€"lo effect a thorough scouring. He will tol- erale loal‘ing occasionally. lor the pro- fessor asserts it is a mistake to suppose that ants are everlas’lingly hunting up jobs, but he won‘t put up with dirty neighbors. Cleanlinms is the supreme law of the community. But the professor rather detracts from the credit one would otherwise be dis- posed to give them for the practice of this most exemplary virtue by telling us that ants are driven to it by the condi- tions of their existence. “Without. the most scrupulous cleanliness.” he says, they could not. recognize each other nor communicate anything. The cohesion of the individual with his fellow.<.1s maintained solely through the medium of the sense of smell. If the ant is cov- ered with dust the possibility of its be- ing recognized is diminished [0 an ex- traordinary degree. The antennae in particular must always be kept ‘clean, for it is only with meir aid that the ant remains in close communicalion with its tribe." It is their highly developed sense of cleanliness. the professor says, which also explains the ants’ “funerals” about which so much has been written. Ants, it is well known, carry their dead to definite burial places, where they ar- range them in most careful order. The little creatures do not, however, do this with the object of providing their dead comrades with a last resting place, Dr. Escher-10h slates: * “they merely obey the instinct of cleanliness which impels them to remove all refuse from the nest and carry it away to a. definite spot."

One in England Encourages Flirting and One in Chicago Has Opened 3 Nursery. The, Harehills Road New Congrega- tional Church at Leeds, England, have gone so far as to provide a speaking- tube for the deaf. This tube consists of ordinary gas-piping, which is construct- ed between the pews and the pulpit, where there is a trumpetâ€"like contri- vanee which acts as the transmitter. At the extreme end there is a funnel-like development of the speaking-tube. It is suggested that in a short time it will be possible to dispense with the churches to a large extent. All that will be necessary will be to switch on tele- phones from the various homes of the congregation and connect them with the home and enjoy the sermon, having all the comforts of their own private room. It should be added, by the way, that confessions by telephone are not per- mitted by the Holy See. Some little time ago'the Holy See was appealed to on the question whether it would be considered valid to hear confessions made in this manner. As has been men- tioned, the decision was in the nega- tive. Archbishop‘ Kain has received another decision from the same source. on the subject of asking dispensations from canonical‘ laws by cable and tele- graph. The answer from Rome is that this practice cannot be allowed, and. in fact, it is now SPECIFICALLY CONDEMNED. The preachers of two of the “highest” churches in Londonâ€"St. Mary Magda- lene, Paddington, and St. Mary Magda- lene, Munster Squareâ€"are not in favor of the reporting of sermons. ' A preacher at one of these churches has vehemently denounced the habit of the Press in re- cording details of services and criticis- ing sermons. He said they thus sin against “holy reserve."

It stands in the cen- tre of a racecourse, the only other building being a windmill. The course runs quite close to the church, and two or three races are held there every year. The circumstance is rendered more re- markable by thet fact that the church was built after the racecourse was laid out. It is very probable that in order to attract people to the churches the ser- mons will be made much shorter. Lord Rosebery remarked that he had some time ago read that one of the bishops had issued a charge to his clergy com- plaining of the undue shortness of ser‘ mons of the present day. This struck him with His lordship said that he should avoid that diocese, [or he was under the im- pression that the sermon that was too short had yet to be written. Whether flirting in church will be enâ€" couraged as a means of bringing more people to worship is a debatable point. The Rev. M. B. Williams, however. is distinctly in favor of flirting in church. He says: “The expectation of seeing a young woman home has brought many a man to church for the first time." One Yorkshire church, in order to at- tract_visitors undertakes. to take care of bicycles and similar articles. A Chicago minister has gone further than this. for he has opened a nursery for the benefit of‘ mothers who have babies so young that they do not care to leave them at home.
