Weather Talk.

The average man never demeans him
self by arguing about the weather. No
matter what Lis private opinions may be
he receives graciously and without COM
ment whatever observation others may
otter upon this neyer-dying subject.
There be men, however, who will take
nothing for granted. They are bound
to argue the point. If you say "It's o
fine day." one of these fellows, instead
of saying ives" and letting the matter
drop, viii insinuate that It looks, like
rain, or feels like snow, or if nothing
stronger occurs to him, viii inform yon
that It is only a weather breeder and
that we'll catch it before night. If you
mention the indisputable fact that it is
cold day, he is ready for you with the
assertion that it is not so cold as it was
yesterday or the day before or some
day last week. argument is a good
thing in its place. but the man who will
waste his argumentive power over the
weather is TO be pitied, not to say de-
splsed.

Hints About Cooking.

The following culinary rules are from
the London Caterer: l. Never boil fat
with bones or meat for stock for gravies
or soups. 2. Place all fish, salt or fresh,
to cook in boiling water. 8. All fresh
to have vineg,r and salt added to the
water. 4. Never let fish boil fast; draw
1t to the side of the fire, and only let it
boil slowly. 8. Place Ill meat to boil
in boiling water, then the same as rule
4. 6. All vegetables to be placed in
plenty of boiling water, with salt and be
rapidly boiled. Z. All green's, as broc-
coli, cabbage and sprouts, to be cooked
with little soda and salt in plenty 81
boiling water. s. Carrots, parsnips, sea
kale and celery, artichokes, beet roots,
vegetable narroWs and onions to have
fat boiled in the water, with salt; no
soda. 8. All things to be fried to be first
well dried, well Toured or egg crumbed
and cooked in boiling fat, and plenty of
it. TO- Strain through tin strainers all
sauces, grayies aud soups II. Drip
ping can be used for fish twice; it should
not be discolored, but while hot be
strained into lard or butter for pastry.
1t should be noted that stewing and
simmerinc are not synonymous terms
for boiling. A thermometer will soon
show the difference between the two
processes. Boiling point is not reached
under 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas
simmering requires only 1873 degrees.

In the orderof their cost. Olive oil is
almost exclusively used in olive bear
ing countries az the cheapest frying,
material. Here it is quite costly and
but little used, save by the wealthy OF
the epicure who prl-es it for the olive
flavor it communicates TO food cooked
Ia it. Others, again, dislike and reject
it for the same reason. Clarified butter
butter comes next in cost and IS pre-
pared as follows; Put the butter into an
enamelled saucepan and melt 1t gently
over clear fire; when 1t begins to sim
mer take it off the fire, skim we'll, let

place. It is the best Of all frying mate
rial and greatly superior to lard, In that
the slight flavor it communicates Is quite
pleasant and appetizing.
A third preparation, tavorlte with
many of the best European cooks, and

measures Of olive oil, butter, veal suet
and leaf lard. The butter is first melted
and stirred into the other three already

Lard is the common well-nigh uniyer-

it is cheap and to be had in every nook
