If your coal fire is low throw on tablespoonful
of SALT and it will help it very much. A little
ginger put into sausage meat improves the flavor.

having q tendency TO be tough can be made very
palatable by stewing very gently for two hours,

when done, and letting the rest boil into the meat

of charcoal in the pot with boiling cabbage re-

water; brush and soap will ruin them. Tum-
blers that have had milk in them should never
be put in hot water. A spoonful of stewed toma-
toes in the gravy of either roasted or fried meats
is an improvement. The skin of a boiled egg is

HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION To
THE YEAR TWO HUNDRED BY CHARLES B.
WAITE, A. NJ. Chicago: c. Y. Waite & Co.
This work is probably destined to arouse deep
and persistent theological discussion. The author,
in his preface states that the book is the result of
several years of careful investigation Of the sub
iect instituted for his own satisfaction but as ne
progressed he discovered what were to him eyi-
dences of the untTUStworthineSs of the certain por
tions of the New Testament which have generally
been accepted by the faithful of divine inspira
ton and ne deemed II his duty to give the results
of his examinations TO the world. While the book
is an audaciouS attack upon orthodoxy, the facts
are set forth in regular chronological sequence.
and the deductions are calm and dispassionate,
though decided and emphatic. He does not pre-
tend that his work is history either of church or
of Christianity, but an analytical exam
ination into the principal doctrines
distinctive of the Christian religion as
they were recognized and taught in the first two
centuries, and also the principal books by means
of which these doctrines were disseminated dur
ing that period He divides the work into six pc
riods: First the apostolic age; second, the apos-
tolic fathers third the three apochryphal gospels
fourth of Christian writers; fifth, the four canoni-
cal gospels; and, last he gives review ofthe con-
diton of the Christian religion at the close OF the
second century, including the formation of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. In one respect partic'

THE APPLETON CASE,

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, May 14.-In your edition Of Sum
day last you had an account of the action Of
q Committee of Tia Bar Association in the
matter in dispute between Mr.. Samuel Ap-
pleton and Mr.. George r. II. Hughes. I
have represented Mr.. Appleton in the matter.
Some months since made, on behalf of Mr.
Appleton, the following propositions to the
attorney of Mr.. Hughes:
First-FfatifMr. Hughes would Gle bill
In court for an accounting against Mr.. Ap-
pleton,- in which the whole matter in dis
pute between the parties might have been
passed upon BY the Court,-Mr. Appleton
would secure to 1fr. Hughes in advance any
decree he might obtain against him. Second,
that 3lE. Hughes would submit the mat
ter to arbitration Mr. Appleton would secure
In advance any finding the arbitrators might
arrive at against him.
Both Of these propositions Mr.. Hughes de-
clined. In behalf of Mr.. Appleton then
filed bill for an accounting against Mr..
bill lam ready to pay to the Receiver who may
be appointed BY the Court under the bill, the
money in Questiell,-unti the Court decides
what portion of the same belongs to Mr.. Ap-
pleton for taxes paid and other expenses iu-
CURED in behalf of 3Ir. Hugl,es,-and to
whom the balance Of The money should be
paid.
l. was convinced that under these circun-
stances and others showing the authority of
Mr. Appleton to make the sale in question
Appleton. and 50 informed him. was SO
convinced of this that made no argument
In his behalf before the Committee.
L desire to assure you. and through you
your readers, that in this case. as in all 9TH
ers, there are indeed two sides, rs will be
shown when the matter is passed upon BY a
court OF competent jurisdiction. Yours truly,
