SALAD.—SaIad is a production of taste ; it belongs to
the Fine Arts, and can no more he acquired by rule than
can poetry, or sculpture, or painting. You may indeed
measure, or hew out, or daub off a salad. You may
know that lettuce requires very little oil, and endive
very much ; that rape needs beetroot and celery ; that
that cold cauliflower is the basis of a delicious salad used
very much in Italy, but almost unknqwn in England ;
you may know that four table-spoonsful of oil should go
generally to one of vinegar ; that the salt is a matter to
be nervous with ; that, above all things, it is necessary
to dissolve thoroughly the salt in the vinegar before you
add the oil. All this you may know; and you may
know how to collect at the right season the right herbs ;
yet, nevertheless, ycu must be born a salad maker, with
the full measure of native tact, if you would shine in the
profession. It has even been doubted, in the face of the
great Gandet, whether one man can combine in himself
all the qualities which go to make a perfect salad-maker
—because, to complete a salad properly, is sari, in fact,
to require the united efforts of four different men :
spendthrift for the oil, a miser for the vinegar, a sage for
the salt, and sk maniac for the mining,----The Roving Eng-
