MISS pARLoA ON BEEF.

Miss Parloa has ibeen lecturing in the
demonstration hall of the College of
Pharmacy, New York, but instead of
American students, she had housewives
for auditors, with note books and pencils
in hand, and instead of subject" she
had a dead OK stretched out on the table
before her. Beside her, and also behind
the OK, stood a butcher who had already
cut the OK into halves and quarters. After
pointing out the fat, she took up piece of
suet, and crumbling it in her hand, said,
+" 1t is almost sure sign OF good beef
when suet crumbles nicely" After de.
cidedly expressing her opinion that the live
OK should have plenty OF exercise in order
to insure the best beef, she proceeded to de-
scribe the different cuts and their com.
parative qualities. She said "most peo.
pie consider the tenderloin az the choicest
portion OF a beef; certainly they pay the
most for it. As matter of fact it is any.
thing but the beat part it isn't even
good part. 1t has no flavor and very little
nutrition. No doctor who dared to give
his patients nourishment would order the
tenderloin. II he only wanted to fill them
up he might order it, but not otherwise"
In answer to an inquiry as to which was
the best part OF the beef, she said the
toughest portions are the best.
The hind quarter OF an OK was then
carved. The butcher cut and Mfiss Par
loa talked. Then the ribs were turned
over and the inside shown. "This is the
tenderloin, said the lecturer. alt com.
mences here, pointing to small spot
about an inch wide on the fore quarter.
:" and runs back here on the hind quarter
until it reaches the thickest part, behind
the fat. The round, or rump, or neck, is
one OF the best portions Of the beef.
though the sirloin, or as you call it, the
porter.house is the best for roasting"
She said the small end OF the loin was the
juciest part Of the beef. The butcher then
cut out the :" flank steaks" inner" and
"euter ard the lecturer said that "a most
delicious dish might be made from them TO
serve cold. The steaks were to be rolled
with some dry dressing, such as bread or
crackers, seasoned to taste and tied, and
then boiled" She also said that meats
should be simmered FIVE hours--not boiled.
The water should only cover the meat and
never boil-it should simmer only. The
remarks OF Miss Parloa about the tasteless.
ness OF the tenderloin will be appreciated,
but the lack of nutrition has not, we be-
lieye, been generally known and butch
ers have always asked the highest prices
for the " first cut " containing the thickest
end OF the tenderloin. This information
will go to console some Of US housewives
who may be unable to obtain this expensive
roasting piece The Hous.keeper.

THEORIES OF THE EARJHs SURFACE
Professor Charles S, Hastings, in recent
lecture at the Johns Hopkins Uniyersitv
gave an outline Of the leading theories in
regard to the physical character Of the
earth. Although there are a great many
theories, they may be reduced to two dis.
tinctive onss. According to tho frat. the
interior of the earth ia fluid covered with
thin crust, about thirty miles or there.
abouts in thickness. The advocates OF the
second theory hold that the earth is prac.
tically solid sphere. Among the reasons
given for sustaining the first theory, the
following are, perhaps, the principal,
namely As we go down in mines, wells
and other underground caverns, it has been
ascertained that the heat increases in
ratio of one degree for every 100 feet of
descent below the sums influence. This
theory is also supported by the occurrence
OF volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and
the existence Of hot springs. Those who
put forth the second theory also support it
by two arguments. They hold that If the
center OF the earth were liquid and the
outer surface solid, the heavier portion
would 90 to the center. Again, the weight
Of the crust Of the earth IS about two ana
one. half times that OF water tine "eiBnt
of the whole earth is known. From thisit
NAV he deduced that, in order to make up
the entire weight, it must be seven times

lecturer briefly discussed the two theories,
and aid that If the two theories were mod
fled they could be reconciled, aud that

TIE POLE FIEsD.

By the always frozen sea,
In the land Of endless snow,
Is the Pole Fiend glad and free,
With his victims ly ing low
He has lured them on and on,
By the mystic polar spell,
Till at last their cruise is done,
And he has them coffined well.
From a tall and icy cr1g,
In the furthest frozen zone,
He can float his steel-blue flag
From his unpolluted throne.
And he laughs in horrid glee
AS he sees the dead below,
By the always frozen sea,
In the land Of endless snow.
Is the North Pole nearer yet,
For the dead men lying there.
Is the pathway less beset,
Or the sky or sea more fair
We have paid fearful price
For an almost worthless gain
Ia the land Of ancient ice
And the Pole Fiend's dark domain
We may let him keep his throne;
IL was never worth the cost

Who are last among the lost

GROWING CONVICTION.

The growing conviction of the superiori-
ty of rugs to carpets is shown in the newest
houses, in many of which the floors are ex-
pressly arranged with stained borders, a
parquet flooring, which it is possible to
leave entirely uncovered. What boon
this is to persons of small means? Moth.
ing eats into a small sum of money for
house furnishing more disastrously than a
carpet. 1t is useless to buy a cheap one
cheap carpets are never Of any use, and
the price of good one is a formidable con.
sideration. This is another argument in
favor of rugs-cheap rugs wear great deal
better than cheap carpets, for the obvious
reason that they are not pulled and strained
in every direction, and are only subjected
to legitimate wear and tear.

THE CARPET QUESTION.

The Question of Cleanliness-HeaIth, Com

Partial Carpets Etc

In the household department of the
RD-UNIoN, over year ago, the " Car
pet Question was ably and Interestingly
discussed by many of our lady readers.
Recently it was again taken up. The
of carpets appear here to be in
the minority, but it is a vigorous won't-be.
defeated minority. The subject is one of
MORE THAN ORDINARY INTEREST,
And is attracting widespread attention.
The latest discussion is found in the New

ments of all kinds, have had hard fight
for recognition, and it is only after they
have become " fashionable that the world
at large finds out that it is absolutely in
to adopt them. Take, for ex-
ample, the question of floors. Floors from
all ages must have been prolific source of
discomfort and expense, but it was re-
served for the latest civilization to conceive
the idea of covering them up in such a
way that it should require the energies of
a strong man to uncover them again.
Carpets fitted to the floor, stretched by
main force, and nailed so securely that
even an earthquake would have left them
undisturbed, became SO popular that it re-
quired a moral revolution to make them
Questionable. Probably even the unin-
lightened Frenchmen of the twelfth cent
ury would have looked upon the frat i'm
porters of Eastern carpets into Europe with
horror if they could have foreseen that CIV
ilized progression would ever have reached
such stage of devotion to them as to
equip whole houses with thick, immova-
BILE floor coverings.

Rugs are certainly free from many Of the
most serious objections to carpets, even
when they are fixed upon the floor, which
in our estimation they never ought to be.
1t is possible to wash well all around them,
to remove the dust from the corners of the
room, and even under the edges Of the rug
itself. But such condition of affairs is
still far from satisfactory. There is always
more or less dirt about stationary carpet,
in any room that is much lived in, and the
best house maids in the world cannot rid
an immovable rug OF dust as rapidly on the
floor as they could off it. Carpets ought,
as matter of health, to be taken up once
a week, laid over line and thoroughly
beaten, but where is the household where
this rule is enforced We are apt to think
ourselves very much in advance of the
Germans in matters OF household comfort,
and yet it is question whether any house
in New York is as strictly clean as that of
a notable German haus-frau, whose house
floors are daily wiped over with wet
lumpen," and waxed once week. Close.
fitting carpets were luxury almost un.
known in her country until after the
Franco. Prussiau war, and their adoption
into general use for the best room has by
no means all the advantage she may sup.
pose.

But the French, after all, have never
adopted the absurd fashion to the same ex-
tent as their English neighbors. and there
is no probability that they ever will and
time has SO far mended matters that even
that conservative being, the British matron,
has left off fainting with horror at the idea
of an uncarpeted bedroom. 1t is possible
now for the most prejudiced of her kind to
admit that there are advantages in painted
and washed floors. and little by little she
has been weaned from abject alteration of

pets. But even on this side of the Allan.
tic, where progressive ideas are more apt to
flourish, the recognition of the advantages
OF movable carpets has come very slowly,
and it is only after some twenty years of
discussion that common sense has gained
the upper hand, that new houses are built
especially with the view to the use of rugs,
squares and strips of carpeting.

coLoRED FLOORS.

The question Of colored floors is de-
bataSle one. 1t must be admitted that for
living rooms or rooms in which there is
much passing to and fro, painted floors are
not all one could wish. First, they are
noisy secondly, they show every mark,
and after little wear have scratched and
worn appearance, which is disheartening.
Even with constant care, rubbing and wash
ing, it is difficult to keep colored floor as
nicely as one could wish, and, moreover, it
has cold and desolate appearance if en-
tirely uncovered. A square rug or carpet,
with bordering, is decided improvement
upon the bare boards, and this, in living
rooms, should certainly be large enough to
come within half yard of the walls all
over the room, and be heavy enough to be
fat without being nailed. The most de.
sirable hoorings for all purposes are un-
questionably those OF wood carpetings and
tiles, but comparatively few persons are
fortunate enough to possess them, and, un-
less they are owners of houses, are not
willing to 90 to the expense Of having them
laid

IALLs AND ENTRIES.

But decidedly, for entries, halls, and
lobbies, it is worth while to do so, even if
long residence in the house is not antici-
pated, and in rooms where such an expense
is not deemed possible bordering of this
kind can be used These borders are to
be bought OF all widths and in many differ
ent designs and colors, and Of almost all
prices, from so cents a yard upward.
They are made of narrow strips of oak,
ash, or other hard woods cemented on to
muslin, and can be rolled up and removed
with the greatest ease. Another advantage
about them is that they are of the same
thickness as an ordinary carpet, and re-
quire no more space under doors, etc. The
manufacturers claim that wood carpetinp
makes portable floor, but this consdera.
tion has little weight, as carpeting that
will suit one house or room will not suit
