Century Cooking School, Philadelphia:
Beef Stew..The meat is broken from
the shoulder; place three or four pieces
of bacon (abOut quarter of q pOund), in
a frying pan with II quarter Of a cup of
water. Cut the meat into small pieces,
about an inch square and of the same
thickness; brown them in the bacon fat;
a stew that is Drowned first is more deli
cate, and throwing it into the hot fat
keeps the juice i'll the meat. After the
meat has Drowned throw it in the stewing
pot Put into tho pot with the meat two
bay leaves and a sprig of parsley cover
it with boiling water; boil slowly until
tender; it may require two hours; add
tablespoonful of flour to the pot in which

Cabinet Pudding.-Use either stale bread
or cake, or part of either, grease the
mould well, using a mould with lid, be-
cause the pudding must be boiled; place
in the bottom of the mould some citron
or angelica, and then layer of bread or

few raisins for flavor; then add the rails
ins to each layer Of an inch thick until
mould is filled. Next break three eggs in
bowl and beat them, adding three large

milk. A teaspoonful of vanilla is requir-
ed. Pour this mixture into the mould
and put the lid on the mould. Then place
in boiling water and boil for an hour and
half.
The sauce for the pudding is made by
taking half cupful of butter and one
cup of powdered sugar. Beat the butter
first to cream as for u cake, adding q
little Mt time, the sugar, the white of one
egg, beating the white until it is light

fifty varieties of this fruit. The little
guineos or fig banana is not unknown to
our fruit stores. 1t is not over a finger
long, and it is one of the finest species.
1t is delightful in odor and taste, and sells
in our market, despite its small size, at 81
q dozen. The plaintain and banana are
Of the same family. The oriental Chris
tians searching for the Garden of Eden
believed that the banana was the forbid
den fruit, and named it the 'tree of para
disc" though the forbidden fruit" sold
in Paris fruit stalls and in our own
markets is species of orange, the grape
shaddOck. 1t is of no special value, is
acid, and is kept more for display than for
anything else. The legend says it was
good till Eve tested it, but it has been bad
since. The deep depressions near the
stem of the fruit like the mark of teeth
are supposed to be the origin of its claim.
The manderin oranges are small species
of fruit with Il dark-cOlOred perfumed
rind hardly thicker than brown paper.
The tangerine is variety of mandarin.
1t is the thinnest-skinned species of orange
known. Mandarin and tangerin oranges,
which are in market during the winter
months, are sold from IS cents to 81 a
dozen. The seedless st. Michael oranges
are brought from the Azores, and though
common in England, are seldom seen in
this country. They are Il small, light
colored fruit, with scarcely any seeds, and
are excellent in flavor. In this city they
bring from 60 cents to Is cents dozen.
Fresh cocoanuts or the immature cocoa
nuts picked when they are half ripe are

Beet Sugar.

There is a successful beet.sugar
mandatory at Riverside, near Will.
mington, Delaware. 1t commenced
operations in 1879, and at present the
capacity of the works, nominally six.
ty tons day, is said to be more than
three times that in nearly every par
ticular. 1t is usual with such estab-
lishments to secure the major part of
the machinery from Europe, but in
this case, with trifling exceptions, the
plant is Of American manufacture.
It was furnished by well.known
New York firm, and is the first, and
thus far, the only beet-sugar equip.
ment ever made in the United States.
Up to this time the company's en-.
tire plant, land machinery, buildings,
etc., have cost about 100000. The
buildings are on the banks of the Del
aware, and good wharf permits the
approach of vessels, while the Phila.
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad, which is close by, carried all
plant and machinery free, and has
contracted to carry all the freight at
low rates for a number of years. Ex-
perience confirms the belief that the
beets can be successfully grown in the
neighborhood; and one farmer, in
spite Of drouth and other drawbacks,
raised beets with ten to twelve per
cent. of saccharine matter, and aver
aged over ten tons to the acre. He
regards the crop now as one of his
best, and will put in this year either
fifty or one hundred acres, expecting,
with fair weather, to get fifteen tons
to the acre. The company hopes to
work UP fifteen thousand tons of
beets, and will contract with farmers
for cultivating two thousand or three
thousand acres of beets. Any good
wheat land, its officers say, will raise
good beets.

LOngfeLiOH.

Prof. Luigi MOnti tells pleasant
story of Henry w. Longfellow. For
many years this gentleman has been
in the habit of dining with the poet
every Saturday. On Christmas day,
as he was walking brlskly toward the
old historic house, he was accosted by
a girl about twelve years old, who
inquired the way to Longfellow's
home. He told her 1t was some dis.
lance down the street, but if she
would walk along with him he would
show her. When they reached the gate,
she said, "Do you think l can go in
the yardr' "Oh, yes" said Sig.
Monti. "Do you see the room on the
left That's where Martha Wash
ingtOn held her receptions hundred
years ago. If you look at the win
dows on the right, you will probably
see white-haired gentleman reading
a paper. Well, that will be Mr..
Longfellow." She looked gratified and
happy at the unexpected pleasure of
really seeing the man whose poems
she said she loved. AS Sig. Monti
drew near the house, he saw Mr..
Longfellow standing with his back to
the window, his head, of course, out
Of sight. When he went in, the
kind.hearted italian said, "Do look
out of the window and bow to that
little girl, who wants to see you very
much!" A little girl wants to see
me very much--where is she!' He
FASTENED to the door. and, reckoning
with his hand, called out, "Come
here, little girl, come here, if you
want to see mel" She needed no
second invitation, and after shaking
her hand and asking her name, he
kindly took her into the house, show
ed her the "old clock on the stairs
the chair made from the village smith
les chestnut tree. presented to him
by the Cambridge children, and the
beautiful pictures and souvenirs gath
cred in many years OF foreign resi-
dence. 1 am sure that child will
carry all her life delightful memories
of her Christmas call at Mr.. Long
fellows.

WAR HAPPENINGS.


At the battle of Franklin, says the
Detroit Free Press, the first shell
sent from the first Union fleldpiece to
open fire, killed twenty-six confeder.
ates. The next Ave shells from this
same gun either failed to explode or
cleared the advancing lines. In this
same fight the horse of a confederate
colonel was cut square in two by a
shot and the rider escaped Lnhurt.
Ten minutes after Union officer be.
hind the earthworks stumbled and
fell forward on the ground and broke
his neck.
In one of the assaults on Fort Wag.
ner, in Charleston Harbor, the iron
clad fleet, assisted by land batteries
numbering twenty-seven heavy can
non, bombarded the fort for two
hours before killing a single soldier.
From seventy to eight heavy cannon
were hurting three tons of iron into
the fort each minute, and yet no one
was hurt until more than 300 tons Of
"solid death" had been wasted. As
an offset to this, witness the work Of
a single solid shot thrown from fed
eral gunboat on the lower Mississippi.
A confederate fying.battery was just
taking position, and enc piece had al
ready opened fire. The federal shot
was directed at this piece. The big
mass of iron struck the six.pounder
square on the muzzle and upset gun
and carriage. a piece Of the muzzle
weighing about twenty pounds was
broken off, and this flew to the left
and killed two men. Three men were
wounded by smaller fragments or fly
ing splinters. The big shot struck
and exploded caisson, killing three
more men and wounding two others.
From the caisson it turned to the
right, killed a horse, smashed a wheel
for fieldpiece and crushed the leg
of a sergeant to bloody mass. The
one shot so disorganized the battery
that it limbered up and dashed away
to cover.
A Union gun.boat Oh the White
river threw three shells into Il confed.
crate camp, killing near fifty men
and routed a force of 800. Within a
week after that event the confederate
general, Shelby, planted four pieces
of flying artillery on the levee within
400 feet of the same gunboat at an
Choir, and without the least cover for
men OF guns, kept up the fight for
more than an hour, or until the gun
boat backed out of it and steamed
away.
The chances in a lottery can be fig
ured down fine, and Il certain per
cent. of escapes is allowed in steam
boat explosion, but he who goes to
war has nothing to console him. He
many dodge.a 2OO.pound shell and be
killed by two buckshot. He may re.
ceive dozen bullets and live on, or
the first one may be fatal. He may
ride in the widest charge unhurt,
and he may be killed by a stray bullet
beside his campfire.

stock Raising In the West.
Poultney Bigelow, in Harper's Magazine.

Poultney Bigelow, in Harper's Magazine.
The freedom to pasture cattle on
excellent grazing land, together with
an accessible market, are the
main reasons why at present stock.
farming is particularly profitable.
The first of these conditions is pre-.
carious, and it is evident that in ten
years there will not be much good
free range left east of the Missouri
river. When immigration to that
extent shall have shut him off from
free pastureage, the stock man can
either sell his farm at probably four
times its present value, or else turn
his attention to fattening stock on
