In Germany the granulated slag |
from blast furnaces la being utilized
for the manufacture of brick. The (
making of alag brick is no new thing, j

unsuitable for building purposes, be?
cause of Its impermeability to air

many are, it la said, not open to this

CHOICE LEFT-OVERS.
Often most appetizing dishes may
be prepared from a few left-overs that
of themselves are of little value if
used alone.
A really stylish dish can be made
with any left-over meats and a sauce
with a handful of fresh mushrooms,
which are to be had for the gathering
in most any place
Shredded Ham With Jelly Sauce.?
Put a half a tablespoonful of butter
Into a chafing dish or a saucepan and
when melted add a half cup of cur
rant Jelly. Season with cayenne; add
a cup of cold cooked bam cut In small
strips, and a fourth of a cup of orange
juice. Simmer for five minutes, then
serve.
Left-over sponge cake may be cut
Into rounds and fruit juice poured over
them, and on each a few stewed flgs,
prunes or any canned fmlt may be
placed. This makes a simple and easy
dessert.
Minced Mutton.?Mash the yolks of
six hard cooked eggs and season with
a fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard,
salt, cayenne. Add a cup of cream
and two cups of chopped cooked mut?
ton. When thoroughly hot add a
quarter of a glass of currant jelly.
Ragout of Veal.?Reheat two cups
of cold roast veal, cut In cubes. In
one and a half cups of brown sauce
seasoned with a teanpooaiul of Wor?
cestershire sauce, a few drops of on?
ion Juice and a dash of cayc it.
Roast pork may be used In a meat
salad, preparing It as for chicken
salad, with celery and salad dressing
Small quantities of left-over vegeta?
bles, like corn, potatoea and a bit ot
celery may be turned Into a most tasty
salad.
Salmon Box.?Line a small bread
pan, slightly buttered, with cooked
rice. Fill the center with cold boiled
salmon, flaked, seasoned with salt,
pepper and a little autmeg. Cover
with rice and steam one hour. Turn
on a platter and surround with any
fish sauce preferred.
Where She Would Be Taught.
WTomen, writes Marion Harland,
should emulate the sagacity of their
spouses in selecting wisely the food?
stuffs and whatever else goes to mak?
ing up the comfort and comeliness of
the home. Expenses should be regu?
lated by the sum their husbands can
afford to hand to them for the defray?
ment of domestic expenses. Hut who
is to instruct the raw girl just out of
school, in the principles and details of
applied household economics? The al?
most universal fashion of sending the
daugut'/ to hoarding school at the age
of 12 or 14 and from boarding school
to college for four years more, vaca?
tions being passed at watering places,
the seaside, or abroad effectually pre?
cludes the possibility of learning
housewifery from her mother. Admir?
able as may be?and in many cases
are ?the department of domestic
science established in our leading in?
stitutions of learning for girls, ono
year of apprenticeship in the kitchen
of a home where economy is a pres?
ent auu practical consideration would
make a better business partner for the
prospective husband than a four
years' course in the model ofliees and
demonstration hal'.s of the best
equipped college in the country.
John Smith Everywhere.
Tho good old name of John Smith
does not suggest in English any great
degree of aristocracy, but transferred
to other languages it seems to climb
the ladder, so to speak.
Thus, in Latin it is Johannes
SmltbuB, the Italian smooths it off In?
to Giovanni Bmlthl, the Spaniards ren?
der it Juan Bmlthua, tho Dutchman
adopts it as Hans Schmidt, the French
flatten It out Into Jean Smeet and the
Russian says Jonloff Smlttowskl.
When .lohn Smith gets into the tea
trade in Canton ho becomes Jovati
Shlmmlt; if he clambers about Mourt
Hecla the Icelanders refer to him as
Jahne Sinithson; if ho trades among
the Tusearoras he becomes Ton Qa
Bmlttla; In Poland he is known as
Ivan Bchmlttlwelskl; should be wan?
der among the Welsh mountains they
talk of Jlhon Bchmtddi when he goes
to Mexico ho is called Jontll FSmlttl;
If of classic turn he lingers among
flreok ruins ho turns to Ion Bmlkton,
and In Turkey ho Is utterly disguised
as Yoe Seef.

COLONY HOUSE IS PROFITABLE
Possesses Many Decided Advantages
Over Permanent Houses?All Fix?
tures Made Removable.
Portable colony houses for the
farm flock possess a decided advan
tage over the large permanent house,
I make them, however, Just a? large as
the weight will permit. My aim is to
have them of such weight that they
can be moved anywhere on the farm
at any season of the year, writes J. T.
Campbell In the New England Home?
stead. When hard and native lumber
is used, the maximum size is 7x9 feet,
with rear wall 5 feet 2 inches and
front wall 6 feet 10 Inches. This per?
mits the use of 12-foot boards without
waste, and buildings high enough to
work in with comfort
If light lumber is used in construc?
tion the cost is increased somewhat,
and we secure the advantage of more
room. We find the farm team can
handle a 7x12 or 8x10 house of this
kind. We use no upright frame at
all. The building is operated by the
vertical siding. The runners on
which these houses rest are made
from 4x4 hardwood, and are placed
the longer way of the house, set un?
der 12 inches from each side and
the ends flush. This keeps the run?
ners from weather exposure, and if
care is used to keep them blocked
they last as long as the building. The
one shown in the accompanying pic?
ture is the latest model. It is an ob?
ject to provide for the admission of
an abundance of fresh air without

were compelled to use a curtain to
keep out the storms or snow. We
found this curtain more or less of a
nuisance, and have gotten rid of It
in the type of house shown.
^*he roof projects over the open?
ing 2 feet and acts as an awning. It
keeps out snow and rain, but admits
plenty of air. Three sides of the
building are lined under with a cheap
grade of two-ply roofing felt, which
prevents any wind blowing through
cracks and causing drafts. Single
board floors are used. Perches are
In the back part of the building, with
dropping board under them. Nest
boxes are under the dropping board
to economize space. The water ves?
sel is placed on a shelf 18 inches
from the floor. I prefer to have all
thd fixtures, such as nest boxes,
perches and dropping boards, remov?
able. One of these little houses ac?

Eggs From Pure-bred Fowle.
It took some of us a good many
years to discover that there was more
profit in selling eggs from pure bred
fowls at $1.50 and $2 per dozen than
from the barnyard variety at 25 cents.
It is easy to figure that 25 pure breds
will earn more money than 100 barn?
yards.

The Englishman.
An English actor was traveling with
an American company and won his
way into the heart of every member
by his kindly courtesy and quiet con?
sideration. One of the ladies, wishing
to find out if a sense of humor was
also one of his Qualities, propounded
to him tho following conundrum:
"Which dies the harder, a sculptor
or a barber?''
j Tho Englishman gave it up, and sho
replied:
"A Bculptor, because the barber
curls up nnd dies, but tho sculptor
makes faces and busts."
The Englishman laughed, not bois?
terously, but that she attributed to his
well bred reserve, and decided in his
favor. Later in tho evening he came
to her and said:
"Miss F., would you mind if I told
you something?"
"No," she answered.
