I>euth* and Funeral*.

Knight* f Malta in Court.
An interesting case to mernbers*of tin
order known as the Knights of Malta
and others who I elong to secret benefi
cial societies is the suit in equity brought
by the Ancient and Illustrious Order
Knights of Malta against the American
and Independent Order Knights of Mal
ta, which is now being heard in the
courts of Philadelphia. It is the desire
of the Ancient and Illustrious Order to
have the other organization, which is of
recent origin, prevented from using the
work and ritual adopted by the parent
body, and with that end in view an in
junction was secured some time ago
restraining the younger organization in
carrying on its work.
From the testimony which has been
given by many members of both socie
ties, including many men high in the
ranks of tlio older concern and who
have come from different cities to give
their testimony, it appears that there
has been a serious split in the order.
What the decision in tlie case will be
may not bo known for several days,
although prominent members of the
order are of the opinion that the bulk
of the testimony is in favor of the new
order.
Tlii* Year Not a Leap Year.
This year is not a leap year. Al
though'the number of the year is divisi
ble by 4, which is the rule for finding
leup year, It comes under the exception,
which says that the rule shall not apply
in a century year unless the figures
before the 00 are also evenly divisible
by 4. A further exception to the rule
will occur in the year 4000, which will
not be a leap year, although its number
is divisible by 4. The explanation is to
be found in the length of the year,
which is not exactly 3(35 days but 365
days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 sec
onds.
The odd hours and minutes required
the addition of a day every fourth year
in order to keep the time approximately
accurate; but to make it entirety so a
day must be eliminated in three out of
every 400 years, and another once in
4000 years. People who were born on
February 20 will have no birthday this
year.
Strangled by the Standard.
The Standard Oil Company has,
through its own peculiar system, pur
chased the Interests of the Mineral Oil
Company in Wilkes bar re, Scran ton and
other places. The company was owned
by J. C. Bright, of Pottsvllie, who has a
number of plants. The price paid in
connection with the Wilkesbarre and
Scranton plants is said to be SIO,OOO
Mr. Bright lias also sold to the Standard
Ills plants at Pottsville, Reading and
Hazleton.
The sale of Mr. Bright's interests is
forced, as the Standard wo tilt! have
come into the field as a mom aggressive 1
competitor. Mr. Blight's holdings havetf
been growing gradually and now com?
maud a good trade, and this makes
them dangerous to tho Standard.
A year ago Mr. Bright was compelled
to sell his plants at MifHinvillc, Blooms
burg, Williamsport and Watsontown.
Lot us furnish your business station

TRUE VALUE OF FOOD
IT IS NOT WELL-KNOWN BY ALL
HOUSEKEEPERS.
Price is No Guide to the Amount of
Nourishment—One Half Our In
comes Spent Blindly—Useless Ex
pense That Fritters Away Money.
The current number of What to Eat
contains an article by Laura Clark
Rock wood on the "Pecuniary Value of
I Food," which is worthy of consider
ation. The greatest percentage of the
earnings of the wage-workers of the
country is spent for food but, unfor
tunately, the money is spent more or
less blindly, she declares. That is,
the man or woman who does the buy
ing determines the purchase largely
by taste or by chance, as the case may
be, without regard to the nutritive
values.
And this mistake is through no spe
cial fault of theirs, but because there
is a great lack of general knowledge
upon the subject of the pecuniary
economy and nuitritive value of foods.
The average income of the people of
this country is small, not over SSOO
per annum, and statistics show that
of this amount over one-half is spent
for food. In many cases it has been
found that less money might have
been expended with better results;
that is, the different members of the
family might have been better nour
ished through a different selection
of cheaper food. The most economi
cal food is that which is best adapt
ed to the requirements of the user,
which will best nourish the body,
which will "agree" with him, and
which is the least costly.
It is all very well for those who can
afford porterhouse steak to use it, but
the rank and file cannot afford it, and
what they need to know is a palatable
way to prepare the cheaper cuts. A
butcher in New York said that he had
great difficulty in trying to convince
a poor seamstress, who always bought
tenderloin steaks at 60 cents a pound,
that she might get just as much nour
ishment from the cheaper cuts. She
was rather insulted at the idea, ana
said with some dignity that she al
ways bought the best. Now this is
certainly a case where the best is not
always the cheapest.
For instance, bearing in mind that
neck meat is richer in protein than
tenderloin steak, let us consider the
pecuniary value of each With our
lower prices here in the West we can
purchase two pounds of steak for 30
cents, and this amount will make a
meal for four people, there being, of
course, considerable waste in the way
of fat and trimmings.
This same 30 cents will buy four
pounds of neck meat. In our house
hold we cook it by thoroughly brown
ing all sides of it in hot butter in
which there is a slice of onion. This
searing over the outside serves to re
tain the juice. Then boiling water
enough to keep the meat from burn
ing is added and the meat allowed to
simmer for three hours. Add salt
and pepper a short time before it is
done. A half hour before dinner
dnmplings are made and added to the
contents of the kettle. The result is
as savory and nutritious a dish as one
could wish. A second serving of the
same meat appears as croquettes into
which the gravy left front the first
day is incorporated, and a third serv
ing takes the form of hash, minced
meat on toast or meat soufle, and thus
the meat for three meals has been
provided at a cost of only 30 cents.
Do not despise hash. It is a tempt
ing dish when properly prepared.
Chop the meat fine and put in the skil
let with a little boiling water, butter,
pepper and salt. Spread the chopped
potato on top. Cover closely and let
the potato steam through, but do not
stir it into the meat until just before
taking it from the stove. The nutri
tive value of whole wheat flour is not
appreciated as it should be, for the
food value of a pound of flour is much
greater than that of a pound of meat,
while its cost is very much less.
It is safe to say that many people
spend much more for their food than
is necessary. In a recent article in
one of the leading magazines a per
centage of over three-fourths of the
income was given for necessities, and
that when the income varied from sl,-
500 to $2,000. That ratio for a family
of four was much too large, for in the
West, where food is comparatively
cheap, a family of four can live very
well on S4OO a year, judiciously ex
pended for food. This sum, of course,
does not Include the cost of preparing
the food ; that is servants' wages.

George Stephenson, who pleaded guilty
to the charge of forgery, having accom
panied Mrs. Alice Jones, of Parsons,
when she mortgaged her husband's
property, and eloped witli Stephenson
to England, where they were arrested,
was called before Judge Lynch 011
Thursday for sentence. "What has
become of the woman ill the case?"
asked Judge Lynch, who remembered
that she had not been called to trial.
"We will place her on trial at the next
term," said District Attorney Martin.
"Well, then, we will lot this case
stand," responded Judge Lynch, "until
wo see what becomes of her case. We
don't want to punish the man and let
the woman escape—make fish of 0110
and flesh of another. The woman Is
not a girl. She know what she was do

and we will lot the Stephenson sentence

with the woman's case."
