VEAL OUTLETS. Take some veal, a
piece of the fllet or the next slice off
the legs, and cut into pieces a little lar
ger than a crown piece, and less than a
quarter of an inch thick, beat them out
rather thin and trim them nicely. Egg
and bread crumb them, and sauce them
in butter. Fry some slices of ham or
bacon, and place them on your dish al
ternately with the veal outlets, and
pour round sauce, tomato, or any other
sauce which may be approved of.

An IMPERIAL THERMoMETER.-Profe
sor Palmieri, of Naples, has recently
completed a very ingenious and elabor-
ate registering thermometer for the pri-
yate'use of the empress of Russia. The
instrument is of metal, and is provided
with bells, which gave a signal when
ever any considerable change of the
surrounding temperature occurs. 1t is
said to be so sensitive that the Indicator
Suitable devices show the extreme range
of temperature during given periods of
time. The apparatus is placed in the
imperial travelling carriage.

PREPARING AMMONIA SALTs.-Bo-
brownicki, of Paris, proposes to pre-
pare ammonia salts from the ammonia
liquor of gas works by acidifying and
then treating it with fUoride of silicon,
chloride of silicon, hydro-fuor silicic
acid, or an alkaline silicate. The sill
con compounds carry down the sus-
pended bodies and those in solution,
and hold them in a solid or half solid
form. Bobrownicki calls the precipitate
n silicoid. It furnishes the crude mate
rial for preparing ammonia salts in the
usual manner.

THE WAGNER PRoBLEM.-Fo,ty wears aco

THE WAGNER PRoBLEM.-Foity years AGO
TO like Beethoven was an outlandish, bizarre.
affected TASTE To-day it is the test OF musi-
cal orthodoxy. We-that is to say, the re-
spected reader and the Easy Chair like him,
OF course. We understand what good music
is. The grief of our lives is that we can not
hear Fsdelio once week during the season.
We know that Beethoven is as sole and un-
approachable as Shakespeare. You may
pluck the north star from the sky, but not
that faith from our souls. And thanks to Mr..
Theodore Thomas and the Philharmonic So
cety in New York and in Brooklyn, we can
hear the symphonies almost weekly. But
how do the respected reader and the Easy
Chair stand upon the great Wagner question?
Alas here is another the sermons that life
is perpetualy preaching; we can never be at
rest. No sooner have we adjusted ourselves
to beethoven and the lugues of Bach, and
achieved comfortable pity for those who do
not like them, and are, as it were, taking
our ease in our inu, than some new fellow
under the window begins to pipe with
a King of Bavaria and a court at his back,
and fills the air with music and theories Of
music, and we have TO decide whether we
like them. Nothing, of course, seems easier !;
but seeming is deceptive; for, as everybody
knows, we have to decide not only whether
we like them, but whether we ought not to
like them. If new tuing turns out to be
approved by the best doctors, and the new
man to belong to the best men, we wish to
be one of those who recognize that fact at
once. The respected reader and the Easy
| Chair know very well that if they had been
among the first auditors of the Beethoven
music, they would have had no doubt OF its
superiority and the true position of the COM
poser, just as they would have seen that Col
umbus was right had they but heard him up-
fold his views of western route to Cathay.

SYDNEY Smiths Wit.

In recent work of Lord Houghton, cali
ed monographs Personal and Social,"- full
of interesting gossip, is the following droll
and somewhat irrevereIt anecdote of the
well known wit-the Reverend Sydney
Smith.
Smith dined with the incumbent the pre-
ceding Saturday tfor whom he was to preach
the next day) and the evening passed in great
hilarity, che squire, by name Kershaw. being
conspicuous for his loud enjoyment of the
strangers jokes. 81 am glad have amused
you," said Mr.. Smith at parting, 'but Won
must not laugh at my sermon Tomorrow -
Il should hope l know the difference be-
tween being here or at church." remarked
the Squire with some sharpness. 81 am not
so sure of that" replied the visitor. s'TIl bet
you guinea on it said the Squire.o ssTake
you" replied the divine. The preacher as
cended the steps of the pulpit apparently
suffering nom severe cold, with his hand
kerchief to his face, and at once sneezed out
the name 'Ker-shaw,' several times in vari-
Gus intonations. This ingenious assumption
OF the readiness with which a man would
recognize his own name in sounds imperceptl-
bic to the ears of others, proved accurate.
