"rur PERx1crou. HASH OF INcH

"THH PERNIcrous HABIT OF INcEss-
ANT BRoILNG. 1T is highly appropri-
ate at this present season to make a
protest against the pernlcious habit of
incessant broiling practiced in so many
American households, clubs and res
tsurants. This old, nasty and imper-
feet method OF preparing delicate food
ought to be abandoned. 1t naturally
finds favor in the eyes of the cook. be-
cause it saves time and requires little
skill. When legitimately used in the
cooking of n fat, juicy beefsteak or a
mutton chop it Is good enough. But II
should be held as an axiom that to oroil
a fish or bird is wicked. Take North
liver shad, for instance; when it comes
from the gridiron all the delicate flavor
of the fish Is disguised by the taste of
the butter which has been lavished upon
it in order to prevent IL from drying
up. But The same fish steamed or
boiled, and served hot with an egg
sauce, or cold with sauce tartare, or
in potted shape, can hardly be beaten.
The same may be said of blue-tish,
salmon, trout or bass, as any one may
determine for themselves who is ac-
customed TO the hastily-broiled dishes
OF fish usually brought forward at the
seaside Summer hotels. Take again n
Spring chicken, or, worse still a snipe.
What barbarity to split them open and
dry out their delicate juices on the
gIidiron. Nothing but careful roast
ing will do them justice. The same
holds good with all sorts of game; par
ticularly the woodcock and chicken
partridge, which will be the first to
come in season after the snipe family.
Another draw back of our kitchens is
the ignorance of the real Use of the
stew-pan. Stewed meat, il properly
cooked, is a most nutritious and delicate
form OF food, and stew pan is an I'M
portant article in an economical kltch-
en-. The joint of roast lamb which
left the table only slightly cut int,
would, if properly roasted to be served
hot, present an unnightly appearance
as cold joint. But BY the skilful aid
OF the stew-pau aud a judicious knowl-
edge OF seasoning an excellent dish may
be prepared of il. Efforts in this line,
however, usually eventuate in a fear

DocroR's BILLs.-The man whose

This has beel often noticed in the life
of every one. If all would only avail
themselves of the advantages of restor-

needful, and the one recommended
above all others, is found in Simmons

counted by the ethousands, and its merits
are undoubted.

THE CARE OF THE HAIR.-A fine head

THE CARE OF THE HAIR.-A fine head
of natural hair is certainly very great
adornment. Well-brushed, glossy,
smoothly-banded hair used to be the
ambition and the pride, or perhaps the
envy and despair of every young lady
In latter days we have seen strange
changes in feminine opinion on this sub
ject. All sorts of wild and picturesque
confusion, crimps, puffs, ringlets,
false pieces of every description, have
deformed heads which might else have
been graceful. But bangs and monta-
que curls have capped the very climax
of ugliness. The prettiest and most
piquant face grows common place under
their spell. The brow, noblest part OF
the countenance, is concealed beneath
a straight or tangled mat, and undue
prominence is accorded TO the lower
parts ofthe lace. We wish our girls
would resolve never to wear banged
hair or montague curled hair, unless
they wish 20 be taken for lunatics on
tramp. To keep the hair in good con-
dition. eschew pomades, bandoline and
unguents. Brush IL frequently with
clean, dry brush. Cleanse the brush
once a week with boraX, or a few drops
OF ammonia. Ler The hair be loose and
free at night, and in the daytime coil
it in some loose and easy way, fasteu-
ing il with as few hairpins as possible.

effect settlement with a debtor who
was owing $50 accomplished his object
by taking a note OF hand running
thirty days. Three or four days after
wards he met the maker of the note
and said:
''well, 1 got rid of that note of yours
yesterday"
"pid you? was the pleased reply.
"Yes, but had to give up awful dis
count. In fact, sold it for So"
sis that possible? Well, now, l'm
real sorry about that. If l had only
known how my paper stood on the
market / could have fixed it better for

sells for s., one for $500 would have
sold for enough to make up your. fifty. |

one for $500 while We were about it!'

ALL weeds should be cut, gathered
up, and burned. both in the garden and

OATS AND Wharf.-The experiment
has been made of sowing oats and
wheat together with view to gain a
winter covering for the wheat. The
seed in the proportion of one part
of oats to two parts of wheat, was sown
in the fall and the oats sprang up and
were killed by the early frosts, the
stalks and leaves lying on the ground
all winter, keeping the snow from
blowing away and preventing the sun
from thswing The frozen ground. In
the spring the dead oats make a good
top dressing for the growing wheat.
The crop of wheat secured the follow
ing season was reported to be excellent,
while wheat on adjoining land, planted
in the usual manner, was of no value.

To Boil RICE.-Tne simple secret is
to swell the grains up as big as possible
and so tha they will roll apart, the
same as one cooks hominy. Thus :
Take inst cold water enough TO prevent
the rice burning to the pot, which has
a close-fiting cover and is set on a
moderate fire. The rice is steamed
rather than boiled, until it is nearly
done. then the cover of the not is taken
of, the surplus steam and moisture are
allowed to escape, and the rice turn :
of a mass of snow-white kernels, each
separate from the other, and as much
superior TO the soggy mass we usually
get as a fine meally potato Is to the
water-soaked article. This is all,
nothing more or less, which is little
trouble enough to get it all.

appear to have the effect of sOitening

4 rdraish for foundry patterns and
m achinery has been introduced in Ger
many, the advantages claimed for
which are that it dries as soon as put
on, gives the patterns smooth surface,
thus insuring an easy slip out OF the
mould, and prevents the patterns from
warping, shrinking or swelling. As
there is perfect imperviousHess to mOis-
ture. The preparation OF this varniSh
consists IN placing in vessel fifty
pounds of shellac, ten pounds of manil-
Ia copal, and the same quantity OF Ian
guebar copal; this is heated by the
external application of steam for four
or six hours, being stirred in the mean
time constantly. There are then ad-
ded $50 parts of finest potato spirit, and
the whole heated during some four
hours To 100 deg. Fab; this liquid is
then dyed by the addition of orange
color, and can be used for painting the
patterns, When used for painting and
glazing machinery, the varnish may
consist of 3j pounds shellac, of Con-
cOrial copal, of Zinguebar copal. and
$50 parts of spirit.
