Cooking.

The progress of science has scarcely
affected the methods in use in the
kitchens. Few cooks know that in
boiling meats and vegetables it is the
heat which does the work, and SO they
keep the pot boiling vigorously all the
while, simply TO evaporate water,
which must be replaced 10y repeated
additions, when a constant tempera-
turc near the boiling point would ac-
complish the same result with no boil
ing, and a great saving Of heat. Sub
stances containing albumen, like meat
and fifth, are put into cold water, which
allows the albumen to be dissolved out
and wasted, the most nutritious part
OF the food, when they should be put
into water nearly boiling hot to form
a hard coat over the outside and pre-
vent all loss. But this pointing out Of
mistakes and abuses will not aid /; we
will try to show a better way.
Eggs are usually boiled three or four
minutes. This is a mistaken method.
To cook an egg properly, the white, or
albumen, should be just curdled, while
the yolk should be hardened. Now,
the yolk hardens at a tempreture when
the albumen curdles. But if cooked
in boiling water the albumen is hard
ened, since it hardens at that temp
erature, while very often the yolk is
not hardened, because the egg is re-
moved before the yolk is properly
heated. The correct method, then, is
to place the egg in small amount of
boiling water, remove the vessel from
the stove and let it cool After ten or
fifteen minutes remove the egg and it
will be found properly cooked the al
bumen coagulated but not hardened ;
the yolk hardened.

Flowers I'm Potatoes.

A gentleman from Utica, in Louis
vile, who wished to send some beauti-
full flower buds to MS wife, was at a
loss how to do so. A florist friend
said he would fix them. He cut a po-
tato into two pieces and bored holes in
them, into which he inserted the stems
of the buds, and placed them in a box
with cotton to support them. A let
ter from the recipient acknowledged
the remembrance, and said that the
buds had developed into full blown
flowers. There is sufficient moisture
in a good sized potato to support a
flower for two weeks in moderately
cool temperature. Flowers from bou-
quets may be preserved in the same
way. The potatoes can be hidden by
leaves or MOSES.

81 don't know" said Margaret, "hoW
we shall make out; but We can't let
the child starve." Margaret, was the
house-mother in German home,
where money was scarce, and plain
food was not plenty.
A stranger had come along the
street, and stopped at the door. and
asked il he might have some supper
with the family. He was watching
the yellow-haired little girl who follow
ed Margaret around, which made her
speak the sentence with which this
story commences.
Then she isn't your own child?'
asked the stranger.
"Nor' Margaret explained that she
was the child of poor neighbor who
died few weeks before, leaving no
thing for the little girl, and no friends
for her to go to. So they had to take
her in.
"And can't you manage to keep
her?" the stranger asked. 'tAnd have
none of your own, suppose?"
"Oh, dear, yesr' and she laughed
over his queer mistake. None of their
ownl Why, there were ten in ali.
When supper was ready, they all
trooped in. What little army of
them! and how clean their little faces
were! their hair neatly eombed, and
their patched and worn clothes looking
as though each of them had been as
careful as possible. At the supper
table, each of them looking out for
Gretchen, she had the largest potato,
carefully peeled by Margaret, the
mothers name-child; Melcher, the
fathers namesake, put bit of butter
on it, though he ate none on his own.
The stranger saw all this and grea
deal more, though he seemed to be
talking with the father and mother.
The next day soldier in military
dress rode up to the house, and asked
for the hOuse-mother, and gave her a
great, solemn-looking letter which
made her tremble as she broke the
seal. Oh, what do you think that let
ter said? Why, that the man who had
taken supper with them the night be-
fore was SO pleased with the ten chill
dren, and with Gretchen besides, that
he decided to make them each a present
of 800, which would be paid to them
each year while they lived! One thou
sand and one hundred dollars each
year because a strange man took sup
per with them, was pleased with their
kindness to him, and their unselfsh
care of the orphan Gretchen! That
sounds like makeup" story, doesn't
it? And yet it is true. The letter
was signed, Joseph, Emperor Of Aus
tria. And he was the stranger who
had eaten potatoes with them the
night before.

An Enormous Stock.

Facts Concerning the Mammoth Chapel
 Street Emporium of Bolton <G Nicely.
 From the Union, December 10.I
 Outside of Boston and New York there is not store in this part of the country that is making the preparations for the holidays that Bolton & Neely of this city are. Already they have an enormous stock of holiday novelties and still great boxes of goods of all kinds are constantly arriving. As present to all their patrons the firm are giving to each purchaser 8 beautiful colored picture of Santa Claus, nearly a foot high, just the thing for mantel ornament. Twenty thou sand of these holiday souvenirs have been enough to supply all the firms customers.
 It is treat of itself to simply devote an hour to inspecting the mammoth stock of Bolton $ Nicely. But wonder at the great variety of goods displayed gives way to amazement at the low prices that prevail. Despite the fact that the holiday attractions are all of the very latest style and best goods and workmanship, there is no increase in prices, but the same low figures are marked all through the many departments of the store In dry goods, in silks, in house furnishing goods, in boots and shoes, in books. in toys, in jew elry, in ladies' and gents underwear, in vel vets, in china and glassware. in all kinds of crockery, 1n toilet articles, in-well, in ev- erything that one can imagine. Bolton & Nicely announce that they have the best and the cheapest and that there is no similar es- tablishment in New Haven where you can buy holiday or any other goods to such good advantage. Spend an hour in the pig store some day this week and see for yourself if this be so.

A Burglary Cleared Up.

The Thief Makes a Fun COhfesstOh-MOst
 of the Property Recovered.
 In Norfolk on Monday Benjamin F. Brown, colored, had a hearing in the case of the $2O gold piece stolen from the Eldridge mansion July is, and traced to Brown. Af- ter lying about the coin Brown finally con fessed to having given 1t to Hannah St. John, woman with whom he had been inti- mate. She had paid the $2O piece to her mistress, Mrs. D. l.. Hungerford, of Hartford. It came finally into the hands of Nelson Morris, who had his suspicious aroused from the improbable story told by the St. JohE woman about the moneys being her sons wages and from the fact that she was always so well posted on Browns movements. He wrote to the Litehfeld sheriff and lent efficient aid in shadowing the burglar. Brown had been shadoWed by 8 New York detective to New York and back and had been followed for days, but not to find him spending any of the money. Brown was bonnd over to the Superior court in g., 900 bonds. A mittimus was issued and the deputy sheriff started to take him to the jail Monday night. On the way to jail Brown confded to the officer that the stolen goods were taken by him, and that they were bur- jed in Ahsonia just back of the Eldridge House. Brown was taken to Ansonia and he pointed out the place where the silverware was buried and 1t was recovered by the officer. It was found that four of the articles stolen were missing beside the $2O gold pieces.

Board of Selectmen.

Closing up the Business for the Year
 Various Matters Considered.
 A meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held last evening. Present, Selectmen Key holds, (presiding), Hugo, Feldman, Cooper, Beecher and Crawford.
 Town Clerk Shuster appeared before the Board and said that in making indexas as or dered by the town he had been obliged to do a good deal of extra work so far as he had gone, and this extra work would be of no use to him when his successor assumed command of the office. It was argued that this was a matter to be negotiated between MT. Shus- ter and his successor, MT. Hugo, and nothing that the Selectmen had anything to do with. The matter was left to MT. Shuster and Mir. Hugo to arrange on equitable basis.
 The matter of work on the roads in Vest vile was considered informally and discussed at considerable length. The ground taken by MT. Reynolds and others was that it was necessary to keep the town poor at work on these roads, because the city had refused to employ them. There was no other way in which the town poor could be employed but on the streets in WestvilIe and in the''An- neX.n

Not a Consolidation.

The Empire and New England Trana-
 pOrtntiOn Companies Form a Pooling
 COmbfnatiO for Mutual Interests.
 The Empire Transportation company was organized here ten years ego. It has been doing a good business since then transport ing coal between Jersey City and New Ha- ven. The New England Transportation com rany was organized three years ago aad has been doing well since. Recently an arrange ment has been completed by which the two companies put in their barges and tugs and use one office at either terminus of the line. George B. Martin, who is and has been since it's organization the secretary and treasurer of the Empire company, will be the manager of the new traffic arrangement. The Empire company has capital stock of $2OO, 900 and the New England $25O,OOO. The Empire company has about seventy-fVe boats and the New England about sixty. The tugs Resolute. Ives and Thurber belong to the New England company and the Walsh, Weed and Williams to the Empire. Each company sends a tender with each tow to carry lifeboats and abundant supplies of rope, oil and oakum, in fact everything necessary for the voyage. The New York office will be in the Trinity building where the Empire company has it's office at present. The companies have entered into the arrangement to reduce expenses. It will do away with the cutting of rates and will enable the companies to compete with the stray opposition offered by the New York companies. The new arrangement will go into effect on the first of January. The con- panies are both New Haven companies and it is believed that they will now handle about 700, ,0OO tons of coal yearly.

New Hnveu,s Inveptive Genius,

The art of roasting peanuts is one which affects the world at large, and new patent roaster which saves the peanut vender great labor and roasts the nuts better will be hailed with delight by the large army of peanut dealers and consumers. Such an article has been invented by two New Haveners, G. w. Cooper, groceryman at Atwater block, years careful study and labor. The revolv- ing cylinder in which the nuts are placed is turned by small engine which is attached to one side of the roaster and is run by steam generated by the charcoal fire which is placed in a drawer underneath the cylinder. The fire besides making steam roastg the peanuts. The water is pumped from little tank below the engine and led over the fire in coil of pipes. The cog wheels are so adjusted that the cylinder makes fifty-two revolutions per minute. Any faster rate would cause the nuts to burn. About an hour is necessary for properly roasting them. The invention is remarkably complete, compact and well arranged and it will no doubt make new era in peanut roasting. It does it's work finely Hereafter the dociIe Italian can sit and sun himself, free from the irksome labor of turn ing crank for an hour in order to roast his psanuts well. All care and anxiety lest his fruit burn as he stops turning to wait upon the small boy or the school girl will be re- moved from his placid brow. What effect the invention will have upon the develop ment of modern thought cannot now be &C., curately predicted. Whether each revolu- in science cannot be determined. However it is great thing for the peanut vender and may cause an increased immigration from the sunny fields of Italy.
