Sts OF advice about Domestic Economy.
The Brooklyn Daily Unio~ furnishes
the following:
Happening 1t butchers stall, Gus
toner came to make purchase.
"What do you ask for good baking
piece Of beef"
Thirty eight cents pound" was the
reply.
'Cut me of eleven pounds" said the
customer. "Tli come in shortly and set.
tic for it," And he went on an errapd.
After the beef was weighed and "trim.
med" I said to my friend the provision
dealer:
II wish to know, just Tor the curiosity
Of the thing, how much that peicc of beef
has lost in trimming"
Every WE'LL" replied he, weighing it,
there are nine pounds and half left"
"Aud eleven pounds" added, "at
thirty, eight cents pound, equal to four
dollars aud eighteen cents. This divid.
ed by nine and half makes just forty
four cents per pound Rather tall price
for beef, particularly when large share
is bone"
"The man is fool for buying it," re.
piled the butcher; "but no matter whas
tho cost is, some people will buy it; and,
generally, they are not the richest people
in the place, either"
. l thought of = certain little woman, the
light Of my cottage home, who manages
things very differently in marketing.
In the matter of beef, for instance, now
that prices are exorbitant she purchases
that which is suitable for stutling, which
can be obtained clear of bone, for twelve
or fourteen cents per pound. This is
her receipt for cooking:
Take q thick slice of steak, no matter
how tough, of about two pounds weight.
make two gills of stuffing, Of crumbs Of
bread, pepper, powdered Glove, or sweet
majoram as you choose, roll the dressing
up in steak; wind a peice oftwins around
it, taking care to secure the ends. Have
ready a kettle, or deep stew, pan, with
slice or two Of the pork, fried crispy.-
Take out the pork and lay in tho steak,
and turn on every side until brown. Put
in half pint of water, little salt, cover
closely, boil slowly two hours. Add moro
after awhile, if it becomes too dry Some
persons like the addition of chopped on
ions; half small one is enough When
nearly done, add half a gill Of catsup, if
you love it.
When you take up tho meat, unwind
the string carefully, 30 IS not to unroli
it. Lay it in frioasee dish, thicken The
gravy, II not thick enough already, and
pour it over tho meat. Cut the meat 10
slices through the roll. The toughest
= meat 10 made tender and nutritious in
G this way, and it is equally nice heated
over and served the next day.
r A leg of lamb, or small leg of mutton
8 cooked one hour longer in the same man
. n.- makes /. sovd dish.

story Of John Maynard, the Lake Pilot,

shown on the battle field Ho was guid.
ing the steamer from Detroit to Buffalo.
When about seven miles from the lstter
place there came tho fearful cry of fire."
aud thick clouds of smoke rolled up from
the hold. BY direction of the Captain
the passengers crowded to the forecastle,
and Maynard remained at the helm, where
soon the flames came roaring around him.
Tho Captain shouted to him through
his speaking trumpet, "John Maynard" /"
} --"Ayc, aye, sir" care you at your
, post?" "Yes" "What course is she
steering" "Southwest" "Direct her
course to the southeast and gain the
shore" Some moments afterward the
captain shouted again, scan you hold out
five minutes longer7" eyes, with the
help of Cod" answered John Maynard.
} His white hair is burnt to his head; ose
of his hands already useless, with one
knee upon the deck, his teeth and one
strong hand upon the wheel, the old man
remained firm as a rock. The vessel
touches the shore, all the crew are saved,
all but the noble pilot, who fell dead upon
the burning deck. Such glorious death
wins true martyrs crown, and is worth
more than a century Of aimless life.
