Action of Rot Roaas Iteet Thar Is Something About Is That Makes tha Carrar Rip Wharo It Should Cat A Raaor's Trtstment "If you can't have tender beef, the next best thing la a sharp knife," said a chophouse proprietor to a New York Tribune man, "and a sharp knife and poor beef are much better than the best beef and a dull knife. I know that from years of experience." The conversation turned to the sub ject of carving-knives, and the veteran said that "carvers" were harder to keep In order than the ordinary tablo knives, because the one who carves does not make use of the steel as much as he should. "It may be an acid in the beef, or It may be the moisture, or the heat, or all three." said the expert, "but there Is something about hot roast beef that takes the edge off a knife and makes It rip where It should cut and the fact that the knife Is not affected that way by mutton or by ham makes me think that the dullness Is a result of the ac tion of beef Ingredients' on the blade." This view was confirmed by a man ufacturer, who said: "I have handled carving knives as a manufacturer and at my table for many years, and I know that the best knives will not cut prop erly when used on hot roast beef un toss the steel Is used after every few cuts. The best way Is to use the steel after every cut. The steel need not be rough, as some people Imagine In fact, a well-worn steel is better than one with a rough surface, and a few passes over It with the knife produce a good edge. The man who rubs and manip ulates a carving knife fc five minutes against a steel before he begins to carve, and thinks that now he has It all right and may send the steel away, makes a great mistake. He should keep the steel handy and pass the knife over It lightly a few times after every cut or two. And even then he will ac complish nothing unless he knows how to use the two Instruments. A carver must be held at an angle of 20 to 25 degrees on the steel. One must be careful to have the angle the same on both sides, otherwise the knife will be made dull Instead of sharp. The knife should be drawn on the steel from heel to point against the edge, and the pres sure should be very light." "A carving knife gets 'tired,' accord ing to the testimony of an old lunch eon counter man, and mutt be laid aside for rest for a while If the best service Is to be got out of It. "The roast beef eater," he said, "looks at the roast while It Is being cut, and If the knife seems to pull or to halt he finds fault and, in many Instances, kicks before the portion is served. To avoid this I put an edge on my knife after every cut, but even that will not keep me going all right, because the knife gets tired, and unless I give it a rest and take up a fresh one there's sure to be trouble. "I usually have six knives In use. They are of different lengths and I use them In regular order, so that each one gets the proper amount of rest. All this Is unnecessary with cold roast beef, which is much less trying on the knife than the hot article. 1 can carve the best part of a big cold roast with out using the steel if the knife is in good condition when I begin, and that seems strange when one considers that the cold roast is much firmer than the hot one. But it's the heat and the gravy that tell on the edge!" Cutlers have certain rules for sharp ening razors, pocket-knives, etc., as well as carving knives. "A razor," manufacturers say, "must be laid flat on the hone, because It is hollow- ground and requires a fine edge. But a pocket-knife requires a stilt edge, and the moment you lay it flat on a stone, so as to touch the polished side, you injure ths edge. It must be held at an angle of 20 to 25 degrees and have an edge similar to a chisel." í J awowter, and urer thin ihe old way. Hand fot J?)

"" L Í! l as I Roraathlnsr A boot Tides. According to the law of universal gravitation, the moon attracts matter which stands near to her more strong ly than that which is more remote. It follows that the attraction on tho ocean, at the side of the earth which Is nearest to the moon, must be great er than that exercised on the solid earth itself. Hence there is a tend ency for the sea to depart from its natural spherical shape and to bulge outward toward the moon. So far the matter is simple, but it is perplexing to many that the moon should appar ently repel the water lying on the further side of the earth. This ac tion, however. Is not due to any ac tual repulsion from the moon, but re sults from the fact that on the fur ther side the moon must attract the solid earth more strongly than it does the water. On the nearer side the moon pulls the water away from the earth, and on the further side slie pulla the earth away from the water, thus producing an apparent repulsion of the water to an extent equal to the attraction on the other side. lliatory's Cinderella. Cinderella 1b not entirely the product of fiction. The Trincess Rhodopls, of Egypt, was the first Cinderella. She was bathing in the Nile, and a bird, which Strabo calls an eagle, flying pant, picked up one of her slippers, or sandals, flew away with it, and dropped it on the lap of Prince Psam metlcus, who was holding a court of Justice in Memphis. He was so struck by the dainty manufacture and small size of the sandal that, being then In search of a bride, he at once vowed that he would only wed the maiden whose foot fitted the sandal. There were two elder daughters of the first marriage who greatly envied her good fortune and here we have all the es sentials of the story. Wood an !. Are Tt'eapoua.

They Are Mea Moled for Theli Ability nd Affability. There are four Smiths In this house; there will be five Smiths In the next. Four of them ,wlll be republicans, and three of them will come from the state of Michigan, says the Washington Post. In fact, Michigan Is the state tbat furnishes this new statesman of the Smith family. The only demo cratic Smith is Mr. David Hlghbaugh Smith of Hodgensvtlle, Larue county, Kentucky, a little man of nervous man ner, who Is one of the ablest members of the Kentucky delegation in the house, although, as he is now serving his first term, he has not come very prominently to the front. It was in this Mr. Smith's district, not far from Hodgensvllle, that Abraham Lincoln was born, which makes It pertinent to remark that Representative-Elect Hen ry C. Smith of Adrian, in the Second Michigan district, has an Abraham Lincoln habit, much noted by his pros pective constituents, of illustrating his arguments with a pat story. He is said to be nlmble-wltted and tells his stories, which are sometimes original, In excellent form. This Michigan Smith is about 40 years old, the son of a farmer, and was born within six miles of the city where he now resides. He paid his own way through college, studied law and has built up a prac tice and won a reputation as the lead ing attorney of that part of Michigan. He succeeds that Intrepid old warrior. Gen. George Spalding. During the cam paign Mr. Smith clambered into the BlngTee band wagon and is an ardent supporter of Michigan's emphatic chief executive. Representative S. W. Smith of the Sixth Michigan district, who is the smallest man in stature in the house, but like Mr. Smith of Adrian a very brilliant lawyer, was re-elected. Representative William Alden Smith, a man with a Daniel Webster pose, who is a member of the house committee on foreign affairs, and who had a bat tle with Spanish soldiers in Cuba last spring, frightening away a great num ber of them with his silk umbrella, has likewise been re-elected, as has Mr. George W. Smith of Murphysboro, 111., representing the Twenty-Second dis trict. It is due to all of the Smiths now members of the national house to mention that every one of them Is personally a very companionable gen tleman, each popular to a degree or less degree in political and other circles. STORYETTES. A Lancashire miner was badly In jured one night and on being taken to the Infirmary was told by the doctors that he must give up the ale he loved or lose his leg. Looking ruefully down at the injured member, he said: "If this 'ere wound cannot stand a sup o" good yale, him and me must part com pany. Oft wl' 'lrn!" An amusing let ter is reported as having been sent by Dr. Conan Doyle to a member of the Ormeau Golf Club with reference to a concert held by the club, at which one of the "Songs of Action" was recited: "My Dear Sir: Pray, present my com pliments to the Ormeau Golf Club, and wish them from me a very happy even ing. I am myself an intermittent golf er, getting very violent attacks at reg ular intervals. It usually takes me about two months to convince myself that I shall ever be any good and then I give it up until a fresh burst of en ergy sets me trying once more. I played ifl Egypt until they told me that excavators had to pay a special tax. I Inaugurated a private course In Vermont also and the Yankee farmers asked us what we were boring for. If ever the Armeau Club should wish any part of their links returfed I could un dertake In a few games to clear awa ' any sod now existing." A story told by Carlyle in an English review forci bly recalls the days when in England religious services were long enough to test the leal of the worshipers. Ac cording to the story, Carlyle had been asked to take the reading at family prayers during a short visit paid to his friend, the provost of KIrkaldy. The Bible chanced to open at the first chapter of the book of Job, and Carlyle immediately became absorbed in his subject and read on and on to the end of the last chapter, when, closing the volume, he remarked: "That is a mar velous, life-like drama, only to be ap preciated when read right through." It Is fair to infer that it was appre ciated for once. Any one who has taken a long, solitary afternoon and attempted to give the book of Job an opportunity to be appreciated by read ing it honestly through at one sitting can realize the consternation of the provost. Such a one will not be likely to wonder, with Carlyle, why he was not asked again to assist at family prayers in that household.

The true statesman looks out on the world as It is, and seeks, as far as is in his power, to remedy evils -and encourage the good. Catarrh in Its various forms Is rap idly becoming a national curse. An undoubted remedy has been discov ered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of Its virtues, and are making public utterances on the sub ject. To save tho country we must save the people. To f?ve the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that Is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca tarrh. A Snbatlrnte for Chimney.
