COOKING AS IT SHOULD BE.
a Hall Full Of Housekspers interested
at the Spring Garden Institute.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Mrs. 5. L. Rorer, teacher of the New
Century Cooking School, gave a practical
exhibition before tfargesaudience, priuci
paiiy OF mature housekeepers, at the Spring
Garden Institute last evening. OF the
advantages OF systematic culinary work.
Before the neatly attired blonde lady and
her rosy checked auxiliary made their
appearance, MIR. A. M. Spangler delivered
an amusing and at the same time instruc
tive discourse on the work of skiIlfuI and
unskllltul housekeepers. When he con
cluded one of his sallies amid the anpIause
OF his hearers. Mrs. Rorer. white-aproped
and white capped. stepped briskly forward
along &with the checked youna
assistant before mentioned and settled
right down to business in matter OF fact
way,
Mrs. Rorer remarked: "1twas long
ago said. Let me snake the songs of
nation and l care not who makes its
laws, We say in these modern times
Let US make the cooks of a nation and
we care not who makes It's apothecsries'
She said that perhaps as many men were
driven to the dramshop by the want of
good living as from any other cause. IF
we wish to keep the man from the dram
shop and the woman of the house from
killing herself with opium aud choral we
must teach her SUCH ways of preparing
food as will make it palatable" What
Mrs. hffer proposed to show by demon
Stration was the preparation, at prices as
low as possible, OF articles from inexpen-
sive materials as we'll as those of o higher
cost. Mr.. Spangler here remarked that
me ultimate object was the starting of a
class 10 the institute building or some
otner place. to have evening schools az
lower price than the Girard Street School.
Ane expense would be % an evening for

the whole. and the more that joined tho
cheaper it would be for each.
Mrs. Rorer than proceeded with the prac-
teal part of her lecture. There was q
handsome gas stove in the foreground.
close by the stoYe table upon which the
materials were Mingled for the various
dishes, and 10 the background was
blackboard, giving the proportions for
each of the following Viands: Soup
stock, pressed mint from soup.
Dreaded mutton chops. potato puffs.
snow pudding, bread and two
ways OF making coffee. The lastnamed
she explained by using the French perco~
latipg process and the old fashioned meth
cd of boiling The products OF these two
systems were handed around among the
audience, and the genera verdict was in
favor of the French plan.
When Mrs. Rorer was emphasizing the
necessity of bay leaves in the soup stock
man arose and enquired what they were,
EIe had never seen them. and presumed
many others had not. Mrs. Rorer said
decorated figs. They could be bought in
the stores, and half pound, worth IA
cents. would last four years. Two leaves
were TO be used at time. Note books
we're in requisition. but the trouble ap-
peared to be that the lecturesss spoke too
rapidly. Then it came to frying nut
ton chops she gave the advice:
Always save every little particle OF
bread lett from the table. Have box to
keep it in. Brown it WELL Never buy
cracker crumbs; bread answers just as
we'll"
In breaking up eggs, always add water
to the eggs if you are going TO dip any
thing into bread crumbs afterwards. They
60 twice as far"
always skim soup stock very care
| fully. Grease IS unwholesome and nau
seating. Butter at high temperature
| produces acids very injurious"
In frying the motion chops they were
placed 10 a perforated sheet iron baske
arrangement. Some 10 the audience OBJ
served that very large amount of lart
| had been melted in another vessel upol
the gas stove, into which the perforated
| one was to be dipped. Mrs, Rorer wa
asked why SO much lard was used
| She said it was less greasy by having lart
just little, and the latter play tool
so. in the old way of boiling coffee,
remarked Mrs. Rorer. you had to go int
the garnet to get the best of it.
The advantage and esonomy of gas
stove, especially ia hot weather. were sci
forth and few hits at the Gas Trust were
| interspersed. While the audience were
laugbingsMrs. Rorer withdrew. and Mr.
Spangler mounted chair and asked how
many desired to join the class. From
appearance about half of the audience de.
sired to be further indicted into the mys'
teries of Cooking as it should be-, The
ladies focked upon the stage and sampled
the cold pressed beef, thelpuddiug, and the

Revenue Reform.

The Democratic party is the party OF
the psople-that is to say the principles
of that party are best adapted to the inter-
ests Of the greatest number, and therefore
the talk about dlsbanding the Democratic
party gis idle talk. The great mistake
which Democrats leaders have made has
been ,temperizing with party principles
instead of meeting sill issues sqaareiy'
The Courier Journal whose editor. Hon.
Henry Waterson, ia one of the most finish
ed writers in the country. tells in caustlc
language what he believes to be the reason
of Hancock's defeat. and among other
things says that lodging the issue Of
revenue reform largely caused the reverse.
Watterson was q member OF the plat
form committee st the Cincinnati convon-
ton. and, it is stated. originated the plank
"A tariff for revenue only" Since the
election the Philadelphia Times has come
out squarely for protective tariff and
charges that the word ''only," beat Han
cock. MIR. Wattsrson shows how absurd
Is this charge by citing the presidents Of
1856 and 1876, and in bold, aggressive
language advocates the readjustment oil
the tariff. This is the one issue which,
above all others will recuperate the Demo
cracy, and instead of lodging the question
it must be squarely met and agitation
aggressively pushed until the people
awaken to the'necessity for revenue reform
The present so called protective tariff
has driven our ships from the sseas, pros
trased many industries and benefited nont
but a few special industries. which are
practically paid a premium to continus
business. It does not benefit the grea
mass of people and is not measure

Keep up the fight for revenue

platform of tariff for revenue only viii

lection" dodge was sprung in the late
campaign at a time when there was ne
opportunity to.answer. it, bat it is differ
ent now, and if it tie mporarily benefited
the Republicansa then, its free discussion
will not benefit that party in the
future. The Republican leaders except
few in the eastern, ststes,swould gladly
dodge their protection record, but it is toe
late now, they are committed TO hiaE
tariff policy and what bothers them now.h
how to avoid the responsibility. You
over reached that time, gentlemen. aud il
the Democratic party leaders have one
atom of judgement, you will pay dearly ii
tho future, for your misrepresentation o
the past. Keep the Republicans Eto theil

wage an aggressive fight for revenue re-
