day show 148 persons died in this city Saturday
afternoon and yesterday morning. In a6out
sixty cases death vas either caused or has
tened by the heat which prevailed last week.
Such was the opinion of physicians by whom
the certificates were signed The heat had the
effect Of increasing the fatality in cases
of diphtheris and scarlet fever in

Variety Of Useful Things.


The dishes on which meats. fish, jellies
and creams are placed should be large
enough to leave margin of an inch or 50
between the food and the 10 ser edge of the
border of the dish.
It is we'll to pour the sauce for cold pud-
dings around the pudding, especially il
there will be contrast in color.
It is a great Improvement to have the
sauce poured around the article instead of
over it. and to have the border of the dish
garniGhed with bits Of parsley, celery tops
or carros leaves.
When sauce is poured around meat OF
fish the dish must be quite hot, or the
sauce will cool quickly.
Small rolls o. sticks of bread are served
with soup. Potatoes and bread are usually
served with fish, bot many people prefer t.
serve only bread. Butter is not served at
the more elegant dinners. Two vegetables
will be sufficient in any course. Cold dish
es should be very cold, and hot dishes
hot.
It is good idea to have dish of sliced
lemons for any kind of fish, and especially
for those broiled or fried.
Melons, cantaloupes, clcumbers and rad
ishes, and tomatoes when served in slices,
should all be chilled; in the ce-chest.
Be particular not 10 overds the work of dec
Grating. Even a simple earnish adds much
to the appearance of dish, but too much
decoration only Injuries it. Garnishes
should be so arranged as not to intefere
with serving.
Potato balls and thin fried potatoes make
anice garnish for oil kinds of fried and
broiled meats and fish.
Thin slices of toast, cut into triangles,
make good garnish for many dishes.
Whipped cream is delicate garnish for
all Bavarian creams, blanc manges, frezen
puddings and ice creams.
Arrange around jellies or creams a bor-
der of any kind o; delicate green, like smi
lax or parsley, or OF rose leaves, and dot it
with bright colors-pinks, geraniums, YER
benas or roses. Remember that the green
should be dark and the flowers small and
bright. A bunch of artificial rose leaves,
for decorating dishes of fruit at evening
parties, lasts for years. Natural leaves are
preferable when they can be obtained.
Wild roses, buttercups and nasturtiums,
il not used too freely, are suitable for garn-
lshing salad.
