OoiTMpondenoe on topic· of Intersat to the ladles UwUclted. Addn>»: Bdllor ΗΟ*·*****·· Cot.CMN, Oxford Democrat, 8onlb Pari», Me "Efficiency"—for What ? Every day bae it· pet .word—and to day's is "efficiency." For aome time paat the educational j'>uroala and the ed ucational conventions have made effi ciency their key-note. Even the New England Aaaociation of|Collegeaand Pre paratory School# gave the main eesaion of ita laat meeting to addreaaea on meas uring efficiency. In the mill-room and the machine shop, efficiency ia a clean cut ide:i. It ia defined aa aharpiy as velocity or friction. It meana the ratio of reanlt to effort, of accomplishment to energy expended. It ia a merit of machinea and maohine llke operatora. But in our talk of efficiency aa the aim of education, aa the measure of a man's worth, as the teat of aocial ways and means, the enlarged meaning we give the term is not clean cut; it eludea défi nition. It blurs the engineer's idea— the ratio of work performed to energy consumed—witn uoteclmical Ideas older than Solomon and hia proverbe. In fact, our recent outcry for efficiency i> due, one-tentb, to what efficiency meana, and, nine-tenths, to less formal virtues con founded with it. Whatever may be true in applied me chanics, we ought to see that in homes and schools and in all places where men's rights and duties count for more than gauges and meters and time·keep ers' sheets, we can never satisfy our selves with mere efficiency. Of course, teachers must show their pupils how to study to best effect, and domestic scien tists must show incipient houaekeepera bow to save their motions and materials. But the real leaders of thought, the guides of public opinion, ought now to tlx for us more urgently than ever those aims on which our efficiency should tell. For while efficiency, so far as under stood, Is a stirring cry, yet broad out looks on truth, appreciations of art and nature, friendly affections for one's kind, a steady .will to serve many people, these are surer means of satisfaction than all the records at piecework, sales manship and business organization. It takes a wise man to distinguish ideas that tell how things should be done from ideas that tell what things are worth the doing. Many of our edu cators would do well to see that of all ideas that recommend a manner, effi ciency is probably the most formal and empty. Recipes. STUFFED UAKED FISH. Prepare fish for cooking, wasb in cold water. Make a dressing of bread crumbs, salt and pepper, melted butter and one egg. Stuff fish and sew together leav ing enough space for the dressing to rise while cooking. Have hot water and melted butter in roast pan with which baste tbo fish occasionally. In one corner of the pan place a large white onion which will absorb all odor of the fish. The fish however will not taste of the onion. Bake about one hour. FRENCH MEAT LOAF. Take one pound of round steak, half a pound of fresh lean pork, two green mango peppers and one onion. Put all through the meat grinder and mix with one cupful of bread crumbs, one egg, and two-thirds of a cupful of sweet milk. Mix well, make into a loaf, put into a pan and pour over it the juice from a pint of canned tomatoes. Lay strips of btcon across the top of the loaf and bake for forty-five minutes. DIMITY SHERBET. Mix together two and a half cupfuls of granulated sugar, one cupful of water and one tablespoonful of flour. Boil 4nd straiu with the juice of three or anges, three lemons, one can of grated pineapple, three mashed bananas and three coffee cupfuls of cold water. Mix well, fold in the stiffly whipped whites of three eggs and turn into a chilled freezer. Freeze as for any sherbet with chopped ice and rock salt. WALTHAM CARAMELS Put a quarter of a cupful of butter in to an agate saucepan aud when melted, add two cupfuls of sugar, half a cupful of sweet milk and one quarter of a cup ful of molasses. Bring to the boiling point and boil for seven minutes. Add two squares of unsweetened chocolate (grated) and stir until It melts, then boil seven minutes longer. Remove from the fire, flivor with one teaspoonful of : · · — "Mtil Awaantn a ·ιΛ»ι «· tntft a buttered tin Mark la square· when slightly cooled. MARSHMALLOW CREAK This is especially nice to use lo the place of ice-cream at small evening par ties. Use half a pound of marshmallows cut in fourths, one cupful of sweet cream beaten st'ff, the stiffly whipped whites of two eggn, oue cupful of chopped Eng lisb walnuts, one tablespoonful of pow dered eugar and a pinch uf salt. Stir all together and let stand in a cold place for three hours before serving. Flavor with any preferred extract. SI'ICKL) TOMATOES Put together in a stew-pan one can of tomatues and two large onions cut tine. Boil (or half an hour, then add half a cupful of vinegar, half a cupful of augar, une teaaponnful each uf giound cloves, allspice ;»nd cinnamon and half a tea spoonful of mace. Boil slowly for half an hour longer. LIOHT DUMPLINGS WITHOUT BAKING POWDER Place in a pan one pint of milk and one ttaspoonful of salt. Bring it to a boil and thicken with three tablespoon fuis of flour mixed with a little cold milk. Cook a few minutes and cool. Beat two eggs until light and stir in with sufficient flour so tb*t they will drop from the spoon. Try one and see if you have flour enough, as the exact amount cannot be given. Cook for tweuty minutes in a covered kettle. Kitchen Tlme-Savere. To the busy mother doing ber kitchen work "against time" every step taken, every tick of the clock, counts. Even single minutes saved mount up. Here are a few proved aids: If the jar of tine bread crumbs is empty just when crumbs are needed in a hurry to complete a dish of scalloped meat, fish, potatoes, or other vegetable*, don't stop to grate fresh bread or roll crackers, but if there is in the house a box of any flaked "ready to serve" breakfast food, either corn or wheat, crumble the flakes well between the hands before strewing over the scallop, and dot the layer well with butter, exactly as when using crumbs. This is especially delicious with salmon or oth er flsb. A food cutter with the largest bole plate on Is a boon when one Is making family salads. Cabbage for cold slaw can bo put through it, care being taken not to cram in too muob at one time, and, while not so crispas when out by hand, it is yet very delicious to eat. Small bits of meat, and either green or blanched stalks and top· of celery, If put through the coarse cutter and mixed with salad dressing, seasoning as liked with finely chopped paraley or a little grated onion, and adding chopped pick les or olives, even with slioed hard boil ed eggs to eke out a small quantity, will result in a most appetising and homey dish for lunch on warm day· if served on fresh, crisp iettnce. Equal parta of meat aod celery can be used for this "hash salad," and odds and ends thus carefully combined sel dom fall to tempt the daintiest of appe tites. Do not forget that a tablespoonful of borax added to your boiler of water will aid greatly In whitening olothes, and that another tablespoonfnl dissolved In water and added to the ataroh will pre vent Its sticking. Do not hang sheets over the line If you want to put them away without ironing. Get the hems together and pin up In that way, then, when taken from the line, the first fold la already made. Never boil ecru curtains, and do not use soap if you ean possibly get along without it. Add tea to the rinse water. I '-Making the beet of things" doee not I mean getting the beet of someone else, ι A President In thlrt Sleevee. The Swift* president's unassuming BtatUH bus given rise to many stories. Edmund d'Auvergne, visiting the gov ernment buildings at Bern, "noticed tbe word Bundespraesldent' (presi dent of tbe confederation) inscribed over an inconspicuous door, Joat as you might see the word •Cashier' or 'District Registrar.' 1 called to mind bow an Important English railway contractor once knocked at this door and was answered by a man in shirt sleeves, wlivin be took to be a clerk. It was the president himself."

Pony Expr··· Riders. In tbe days of the pony express tunny wonderful, long rides were made by those engaged In carrying the mails through dangerous country. Wil liam P. Cody (Buffalo Bill) made a round trip of 384 miles without stops, except to change borsee and to par take of one meal. It is recorded that Robert H. Haslam (Pony Bob) rode 380 miles at oue stretch. When tbe pony express ceased to exist Hasiam became a Wells Fargo messenger, rid ing 100 miles every twenty-four hours, being ten hours on the road. Jack Keetley. a pony express rider, is cred ited with 840 miles in thirty-one hours, and Jim Moore, another rider, is said to have covered 280 miles in fourteen hours and forty-six minutes. — New York Sun.
