Omen Secrets In Cook r..

Both doctors and epicures agree upon
rare meat-the former for digestion.
the latter for taste, and that all meats
and game are the better for slight
cooking, with the exception Of veal and
pork that they do not recommend at
all. 1t is quite common, now, for the
physician to order sandwich Of beef
that is, slice OF uncooked beef, minced
fine. seasoned, and spread between two
thin slices Of bread as far more nour-
ishins for weak digestion than c9Sksd cSkAssSd
II seems. that is in the way, and not the
taste. as when 1t is out OF sight most
people can learn to like this rarest OF
beef. The same reason that ordains
that the juice must ran in the leg OF
mutton when the knife goes in, and the
game must only "fy past" the kitchen
fire. Is behind this, and herein is why
broiled meats are 30 delicate and ralat.

The Possibilities OfEIectricIty.

An exchange asks II it is POSSIBLE to
transmit q portion Of the power OF
Niagara through electric wires to "a point
fifty miles distant, why should it not be
possible to transmit the whole OF that
power. which now goes to waste, a
distance OF 500 or 5000 miles
The French electrician, Nj. Duprez,
has demonstrated by experiment the
possibility of doing the former, and the
accomplishment Of the other seem to
be only question Of perseverance.
The time will therefore come when
every waterfall, every mill stream and
every rivulet even can be utilized as q
motive force in cities, towns and
villages. The [steam engine will be-
come as antiquated as the old-fash-
ioned oil lamp is now. Since elec-
tricity has been proven capable Of
being used as a motive power at all
the grand desideratum has been to
discover some means OF generating it
at less cost than has been possible
heretofore, and the result ID that the
aquatic force which has been OF but
very little use to man heretofore is to
be made his most vslusble servant.
The question of cheapening the electric
light, which has hung like cloud over
its future in the capitalists mind, and
has dimmed even its brilliant rays, is
thereby solved, for if the force can be
had for the mere taking from every
running channel Of water in the land
why, then the main cost is at once swept
away. When, further, this force is
carried, with the assistance of a simple
wire. to any point where it is needed,
industrial revolution will have been
accomplished. the consequence OF which
It Is difficult to measure in
its entirety. The tides being likewise
sdded to this available force there is
more than enough for all the present
and possible future demands CT the
world. As Professor Thomson, the Eng
lish scientist said recently. tenth pai I
Of the tidal energy in the comparatively
insignifcant valley of the Severn would
be alone sufficient to light every city In
Great Britain, while another tenth
