The Reason Why.

Why does boiling fast render meat
hardy
Because the excessive action of heat
causes The albume of the meat to set
solid, crisps up the 1eshy finers, and pre-
vents heat having gradual access to the
interior.
Why, when a good soup or broth is re-
quired, should the meat be put into cold
watery
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermixture
between the juices of the flesh and ex-
ternal matter. The soluble and savory
parts of the meat escape and enrich the
soup.
Why are stews generally healthful and
digestiblei
passed over the place at the mention of
Gott or Jesu--men, women, little chill
dren, bowling ever before that name as
Because, being compounds of various
substances, they contain all the elements
of nutrition, and as the office of the
stomach is to liquify solid food before
digesting 1t, the previous stewing assists
the stomach in this particular.
What causes the cracking noise when
lard Is put in afryingpans
Lard always contains some portion of
water, and ii Is the expansion of this
water into steam, forcing its way through
the fat, which causes the cracking noise.
The heat mt which fat or oil boils is much
greater than water When the cracking
ceases the water Is gone and when the
fat bubbles its heat is very high.
Why should fish or meat that is being
fried be frequently turneds
Because the turning assists the evap-
Grafton of the water. When the fish or
meat is allowed to lie too long steam is
generated under 1t and the steam Is
driven off, the surface catches to the hot
pan and becomes burnt and broken
Why is broiled meat 80 juicy and
sayoryg
Because the action of the fire harden
ing its surface seals up the pores through
which the juices might escape. 1t acts
in the same way with the joints of meat,
but steak should not be turned with a
fork, because the puncture of the tissue
opens an escape for the juices, and
wastes the best part of the meat. -Ameri-
car Patron,
