CooKERY-EFFEcTs OF HEAT UPON MEAr.--
A well cooked piece Of meat should boz full Of
its own juice or natural gravy. In roasting,
thereof, i! should be exposed 10 quick fire, that
the external surface may be made TO contract at
once, and the alcumen to coagulate, before tho
juice has had time to escape from within. And
SO in boiling. When piece Of beefor mutton
is plunged into boiling water, The outer part con.
tracts, the ubumen which is near the surface
cougulates, and the internal juice is pressoted
either from escaping into the wafer by wtEbt
is surrounded, or from being diluted orwetkeu:t
ed by the admission Of water among it When
cut up, therefore, the meat yields much gravy,
and is rich in flavor. Hence oeefs;eak or q
mutton chop is done quickly, and over a quick
fire, that the natlfI Juices muy be retained. On
the other hand, if the meat be exposed 10 slow )
fire its pores remain open, the juice continues 10
flow from within, us it has dried from the'sur-
face, and the flesh pines and becomes dry, hard.
and unsarory. Or it be put into cold or tepid
water, which is afterwards gradually brought to
a boil much of the albumen is extracted before
it coagulates, The natural juices for the most
part flow out and tho meat is served in q nearly
tasteless state. Hence 10 prepare good boiled
meat, it should bs put at once into wafer alrea.

not unfrcquent in cookery books, depends very

man Of lofty genius, and great learning-a bril-

bigotry and fauaticism. He was the bosom
friend and companion of Curran, the renowned
Irish orator. Though Curran was q Protestant
