HOUSEHOLD HINTS As the head of the "domestic department. in every small family knows, it is seemingly much more difficult to cater for two or three and avoid all unnecessary expense and waste cf material than it is to provide for a larger number. When, for instance, a roast has been on the table twice in,its original.form, one must devise some method by which to disguise it so completely It will not, on its third advent, be recognized as a too familiar acquaintance. For small families,, even when economy is not to be considered, it is wisest to avoid large joints, of course; but when there are but two or three to be provided for, even a small roast may seem a large joint, especially when the appetite is fickle/ Therefore, in or der to enjoy a good roast at its best, the first serving, it is a good plan to order a joint when guests are expected, or select i such joints as will divide to advantage, rather ■ than have a piece that must all be cooked! at one time. A sirloin of beef is better di vided into two fine dishes than into one roast that may have to be warmed over twice. For the Family of Three. J i When the family consists of this number, wh^ch includes the servant, one can manage to have very nice little dinners throughout the week by providing a roast for dinner on Sunday, when a regular hot dinner is deemed necessary, and a fore or bind quarter of I lamb for the mid-week dinner. This will provide you with good soup stock by utilizing the bones and meat trimmings, fresh or cooked for soup stock; to this may be added any left-over cooked vegetables not available for salads—macaroni, rice, barley, etc.—thus obtaining a variety of soups without extra expense. The roast can be served cold on the second. day for a. change, carving neat, thin slices at the table at time of serving. With it, serve a nice hot soup and different vegetables from those served* with it before, a salad and a hot dessert. Left-over vege tables can be utilized for a luncheon dish or in the dinner salad. Another day a differ ent soup may be made from the same stock by changing the seasonings and flavorings and adding cold baked beans, peas, string beans or the coarser leaves or stalks of cele ry. The cold meat can be served in a deep English beef pie, mince, cromesques of lamb or a delicate saute of lamb in the chafing dish. However small the scraps may be, never throw them away. A family of two or three can indulge in all sorts of dainty en trees % and made dishes that are impossible for a large family with good appetites and slender income; for a few tablespoonfuls of chopped meat that cannot be used In any other way will, in adition to the sauce, a few bread crumbs or mashed potatoes, make croquettes enough for three people; these may be made flat, into cutlet shape; a table spoonful or two of mashed potato reheated and used as a border around the edge of the cutlet and the center filled with any suitable left-over vegetables, creamed carrots, toma toes, green peas or corn and you have cut lets Parker house style; a dish they need not hesitate to serve as a tempting breakfast dish or dainty luncheon entree. A Foreqnarter of Mutton. If your family is large enough to warrant it, and the weather told enough to keep meat in good condition for some days, you will find this a very economical part of meat if you can get your butcher to cut it so it will be cot oraly an economical part but at the same time give you a choice joint. Havo him take the shoulder out in a round plate shaped point with knuckle attached, cutting dote to the bone of the ribs. Do not let him hack the shoulder across or chop it at all. This should be roasted in a good hot oven and served with stewed onions or onion sauce. When carving this joint, cut across the mid dle from the edge to ths bone in the same manner in which you carve a leg of mutton. The Rib Roast. 1 Eesides this joint, you have another roast, unless you rcrfer to cut this piece up into chops up as far as a part under the shoulder. From this the breast should be separated and mae'e into an "Irish stew," or fricassee, while the breast'ean be made into a "Scotch fluff." Scotch Huff. Just cover the breast of mutton with water, adding a little salt. Set over the fire and when it comes to a boil place over a more moderate heat and simmer for three hours. Then take it up on a platter, draw out the . bones, make a staffing of bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and a little melted suet or butter; lay this on the meat, roll it up and fasten with skewers. Cover thickly with egg and bread crumbs and bake in a good oven fifteen minutes to each pound of meat. When it begins to brown, baste frequently with the i>an drippings. Serve on a bed of cress. Keck of Mutton. The remainder of your forequarter, the neck, is nice boiled and served with parsley or caper cauce. Carefully skim the liquor in which it was boiled and serve as a broth with either rice, macaroni, barley or veget ables. Fillet de Boeuf Chateaubriand. This might be termed one of the French table classics, as in the estimation of the Frenchman, luxury can go no further. Yet 1t is within the power of every house wife to have this dish as often as she has a roast. She will find it a very great convenience to have this 'tid-bit" on hand for the '"uuex pected." It will keep in cold weather for a considerable length of time, and for several days at least If kept on Ice even in warmer weather. When selecting your sirloin roast, choose one that has a thick fillet or tend»rloin. Re move it as soon as it comes from the mar ket. When preparing for the table, cut it across into steaks an inch thick; trim them and brush well with melted butter or oil, which is much better, having no salt in it and having also another advantage. It makes the meat more tender. Let the steaks stand & few minutes, turning often at first, then more slowly until nicely browned. Season when done with salt pepper and softened butter. Garnish with French fried potatoes and serve with Chateaubriand Sauce. Put a half cut of white wine or claret into a saucepan with a pint of glaze ibrown, stiff meat jelly); simmer for fifteen minutes. When ready to serve, thicken with two ounces of maitre <T hotel butter rubbed smooth with two tablespoonfuls of brown flour. Let it come to boiling point. Simmer a moment, then serve. Lemon juice and parsley may be used in preference to the wine. Ail rights reserved by Banning & Co. CHURCH DEDICATION Methodists of Rochester to Hold Special Services en Sunday. Rochester, Mian..

Siamese cats, with their curious markings and loud discordant voices, are now favorites with fashionable women in England. In many respects they are unique among cats. They follow their owners as a dog would; they are exceedingly affectionate and insist upon being nursed, and they meow loudly and constantly, as if frying to talk, and to a deaf person at that. They have much more vivacity than, usually falls to the lot of cats, and less dignity. In color they vary from pale fawn through shades of brown to choco late. There are two varieties, the temple cats and the palace cats; about the only difference between the two varieties being that the pal ace breed is darker in color. The only sacred temple cats that ever left the land of their birth were given to Dr. Nightingale as a mark of special favor by the King of Siam. They were named by their new owner Romeo and Juliet, and are now the property of Lady Marcus Beresford. They are very expensive, moderate specimens sell ing for $50 and finely marked ones bringing from $7.t to $300. Now that many ladies of rank in England Lave catteries, the price of high-bred cats is constantly increasing. Champion Lord South ampton, a white Persian owned by Mrs. Greenwood, was sold for $350, and $2:>rt was refused for Zaida, a former cat show cham pion. And in America, of course, as high prices as anywhere are obtained. THE ACCENT IDEA IN DRESS. Society women are now studying the accent idea in the matter of dressing. A girl of their own set, whose family met with reverses, is responsible for this new fad. She not only receives cash value for original ideas for gowns, but she is teaching the women of the smartest set that the accent, to which the French women pay so much attention, should in reality not only supply the finishing touch, buc furnish the keynote of the sown as well. Some of the most magnificent gowns ever made for a New York woman have just been designed for Mrs. John Jacob Astor to wear while in the south. The mosc novel costume in the collection is of pastel gray satin crepe de chine, and both the very full skirt and bodice are finely accordion pleated. The ac cent of the gown is the unusual treatment of the lace which trims it It Is heavy ecru church lace, the pattern outlined with bits of turquoise, topaz and exquisite pink corpl beads. The lace starts from the middle of the back, goes across the shoulders to the bust and then falls in two long stole ends behind. DISHES FOR FORMAL DINNERS. Haiper's Bazar. Filet of beef is the meat seen most fre quently at formal dinners. It is decidedly ex pensive—about 40 cents a pound. However, there is no waste to It, and five pounds will be ample for ten persons. It is larded at the butcher's; after it is cooked it is to be laid on a long, narrow platter—a flah platter will do perfectly—and sliced; then a mush room aauce is poured over it and ::mall piles of vegetables arranged about it; at either end DANCING CLASSES DON'T MISS MALCOLM'S FRN DAY INFORMAL. Masonic Temple. Popular Music by KELSEY'S ORCHESTRA. are to be potatoes, cut into btlk; down the sides are young carrots iv small cubes string beans, French beaus, and bits of turnip. Ail these vegetables come canned in glass on purpose for this use, and it is convenient a: such a time to buy rather than prepare them. The shaddock, or grape fruit, sherbet la new and delicious. It is made by carefully scooping the pulp from the fruit and separat* ing it into small pieces. A large pint of sugar is boiled with a cup of water, a table spoonful of gelatine dissolved and added, and when cold the fruit is mixed with the rest and frozen. It la to be served iv small glass cups on plates with a coffee spoon on each. THE NEWEST TABLE LINENS. Harper's Bazar. Of course one can put any amount of money in table linen, and dinner cloths are to be had with lace or drawn work insertions to be laid over color: with exquisite colored monograms; with elaborate woven patterns, or as plain and shiny as satiu. One's taste and purse must govern the selection, but iv a general way, for ordinary dinner parties, it is safer to buy the best quality of linen with little or no decoration. One tires of even the prettiest patterns, and styles change su rapidly that a handsome and expensive clotu will look out of date in a short time If its figures are at all conspicuous, while plain double damask is always in good taste. The same ihing in effect might be said of centerpieces; they would better be intrin sically beautiful than ornate. Lately embroid ered pieces have given place to lace, In either a solid square or circle, or a deep border on a linen foundation. These may or may not be laid over color, according to individual preference and taste. Just now, however, there seems to be a fancy for having the table in white, the flowers and possibly the candles alone being colored. JENNY LIND LETTERS FOUND. • A large number of letters from Jenny Lind have just been discovered in Rome, written to a lady friend resident in Italy, and covering a period of thirty years, from 1845 to 1874, says the London News. It is said that there are more than a hundred in all, and are iv ihe most intimate and unconven tional terms, giving the great prima donna's candid opinion of much of the music and many of the musicians of her time. The let ters have been purchased by an Italian pub lisher, who proposes to Issue them to the world very shortly. It is hoped, however, that they will be judiciously edited. It will add a new terror to life if private letters, never intended for the public, and probably written with a freedom adopted only in cor respondence with an intimate friend, can be printed without suitable revision. In this country It is assumed the copyright would be with thfc deceased singer's executor, namely, her husband, Otto Goldschmidt.
