The ROMANCE OF A CELESTIAL KrrcHEN.-Charles
Dickens in his weekly paper is telling curious and
cruel stories about Chinese cookery. When anx-
ious to cook lamb in the highest style of art, the
Chinese it is said, build low mud wall, incosing
space two or three feet across, and another wall
outside forming circus or about two feet wide, in
which they set pots containing wine vinegar soy
sauce and so forth. In the inner space they light
good fire, and in the circus thus prepared, put a
live lamb. The lamb naturally becomes thirsty
from the great heat of the fire, and drinks what he
finds as he runs backward and forward in search of
means of escape When the drinks are all swa.
lowed and dried into the animals flesh, the lamb
becomes exhausted, falls down dead and in very
short time is completely roasted. Turtle may be
prepared, according to the same authority, by
placing it the fire in pot of water, in the lid
OF which there is a hole large enough to allow the
turtle to put out his head. AS the water becomes
hot the turtle naturally thrusts his head out to get
at the cooler air, when he is fed with spiced wine
and soy-sauce, which he drinks readily as relief
from the heat This goes long as he has
strength to keep his head up, and the turtle does
not part with life easily, he seldom fails to 60 on
stuthng himself till he is cooked.
