“A etw.se »••!, . |-ollcy would prompt
all bayis <>: s»-trSties to Invest at
least a i» i of their capital In gov
ernment is1 ... > or s Hue other form of
aoui.'l 1 o ds ." says Leslie's Weekly.
"Many iir.esiors have a preference
exclusively tor stocks because the lat
ter may render a higher yield or may
fluctuate more widely, thus offering
larger chances for speculative profit.
Idvldend paying shares of the season
ed sort ure not to be belittled, and they
will perhaps always form the major
portion of tiie average Investor's pur
chases. There is reasonable safety In
them.
"Hut firmer ‘cornerstones of fortune’
are found in the better class tionds.
These are not necessarily gilt edged,
but they' are well secured. In times
of prosperity the Issuing corporations
have no difficulty In meeting Interest
charges. In times of depression divi
dends on sto< ks may be suspended,
but the enterprise must pay Interest
on Its bonds or submit to foreclosure.
And lu such event the bondholder rare
ly suffers loss. Their high degree of
stability and safety commends good
bonds as an Indispensable pert of any
well established estate.”
ECONOMY IN FOOD.
Getting the Beat Results Out of ■ Fore
quarter of Lamb.
Are you aware of how much you can
get from a forequarter of lamb? If It
is cut correctly It should give a rack
of lamb (French chops) and a shoulder,
besides the neck and the breast, which
may be boiled.
From these last parts one can make
croquette#, a meat loaf, minced lamb
on toast and salad, besides many oth
er cooked meat dishes. The shoulder
can be filled and roasted, boiled with
caper sauce or pot roasted.
The rack, which Is made up of dainty
French chops, is the choicest part of
the entire lamb, and If the butcher
cuts the forequarter correctly there
will be twelve delicious chops. These
may be cut as needed or roasted in one
piece.
To cut the forequarter correctly re
move the shoulder and take out all the
bone; cut off the neck and breast, then
remove the chine and the chops. Don’t
throw away the bones and trimmings.
Roll and strain them, then set aside
to cool and remove the fat, which then
can be used for deep fat frying.—
Washington Star.
A Forgotten Monument.
A Washington monument that was
never erected occupied the attention of
the citizens of New York in 1847. It
was to tower so far above any other
structure that It might be seen many
miles out at sea. Several thousand dol
lars were actually raised and the cor
nerstone was laid with ceremony In
Hamilton square, which covered the
blocks now contained between Third
and Fifth avenues, Sixty-sixth and
Sixty-ninth streets. This was before
Central park had been outlined. Ham
ilton square was a portion of tbe old
common lands of tbe city. It Is not
known what became of the Washing
ton monument cornerstone. Tbe mon
ument association gradually ceased to
exist. The 11,000,000 monument was
forgotten, and when the ground once
known as Hamilton square was cut up
and the streets ran through no record
remained as to what was done with the
cornerstone and its leaden box filled
with memorials of the city In 1847.—
Exchange.
Pigeons 8pread Disease.
“Pigeons spread disease when flying
at large,” says a writer In Farm and
Fireside. "They are very promiscu
ous In their visits and carry disease
germs from Infected places on their
feet Not only do they spread poultry
dlseasep, but any live stock or other
germ disease. Many a mysterious out
break might be traced to this source.
Flocks of pigeons are a very pictur
esque feature of the landscape, bnt
are entirely out of place In our cloeely
settled mqdern communities. They
may carry' human disease germs as
well as any others.”
Probably Not.
An English paper ascribes the use of
“some” In such expressions as "some
girt” or “some show” to Horace Wal
pole. In a letter dated July 7, 1782, It
says, Walpole wrote: “Mr. William
Plttt Yes, he Is to be secretary of
state—at twenty-two—that Is some
glory!" But Is “that Is some glory” on
all fours with “he Is some statesman?”
Would Walpole have used the latter
phrase?—Outlook.
Longer Than Expected.
Vandeventer—So at your request he
spoke at your dinner?
Broadway—He did.
“And did he come up to your expec
tations?”
“Why, he went an hour beyond it”—
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Frofessor — Life Is the superficial

living is so expensive.—Life.
What Work Does.
Work Is a guardian angel. Work
turns the wilderness into a garden.
Work does sometimes what even love
cannot do—roots a man firmly In his
place in the world.
It Is no honor or prpfit merely to ap
pear In the arena. The wreath Is fee
those who contend.—Garfield.
