Origin of porter.House steak.

Colonel Thomas F. De Wee, a New
York butcher, author of "The Market
Book" s'The Market Assistant" and
other works of similar nature, gives the
following account of this now popular
cut of beef: Martin Morrison kept a
favorite porter-house at Nc. 1927 Pearl
street, New York, near the old Walton
House. It was q popular resort with
many of the New York pilots, because
here they were always sure of q pot of
ale or porter and q shot bite" including
one or two substantial dishes. On one
an unusual number of calls for steaks,
and when an old pilot, who dropped in
at q late hour, called for something SUBJ
stantial to eat he was forced to cut from
q sirloin roasting piece which he had
got for the next days family dinner.
The old pilot reIished his steak amaz-
posed of he squared himself in front of
his host and Moderated: "Lo.k ye
here, messmate, arter this I want my
steaks cut off the roasting piece! Do
you hear that? So mind your weather
eye, old boyl" The old pilots com
panions soon learned to appreciate these
cuts, and it was not long before they
were all insisting On having them. Ac-
cordingly, Morrison's butcher. Thomas
Gibbons, of the Fly Market, asked him
why he had ceased to order the large
sirloin steaks. Morrison explained that
he had found that cuts from the small
end OF the sirloin of the beef suited his
single customers best, both in size and
quality, and directed that thereafter,
instead of sending him the sirloin roasts
uncut, he have them cut into chops or
steaks, as he should direct. GibbonI
daily order. "Cut steaks for the porter
house." soon gave these the name of
'sporter. house steaks" by which they
became known all through the Fly
Market, particularly as this excellent
cut rapidly became popular in all the
public houses of the city. The name is
now familiar to housek eepers on both
sides Of the Atlantic, at least wherever
the English language is spoken.-CHi

Personal Cleanliness,

When the woman had fully charge Of
the milking and other dairy operations
there was not much need of advising
personal cleanliness. A woman is
naturally clearly. She can see dirt
where a man would think it irksomely
clean. But the men. have largely de-
dom, have driven the old-fashioned
dairymaid into retirement, and have
brought, it is true, new enterprise and
new strength into the business, and, it
is also true, have brought considerable
dirt into it. Usually the carelessness as
to personal cleanliness is found more
particularly with those who are en-
ployed to do the work. There is only
one piece of advice that is suggested
for the proprietor of a dairy who will
persist in neglecting personal cleanli-
ness, and that is to go out of the bust
ness. An unclean person ought to be
kept put of sight Of the milk pail en-
tirely. 1t is utterly impossible to
mingle dirt with milk and have pure
milk, which is SO sensitive that it will
absorb all impurities that come into
contact with it. Some appear to
imagine that it makes no difference
how much dirt gets into the milk pail,
because the milk goes through a strafner.
The strainer a do nothing more than
separate the visible dirt from the milk,
and it may not always do that. 1t can
not take the odors and gases out. Yet
we have seen men milking with dirty
hands, and milking COWS whose udders
were covered with dirt, which was con-
stantly dropping into the pail. .
Wash up, should be the directions to
our mixers. They should be impressed
with the fact that milking is a very del
icate business, and that a mixer should
be just as tidy when he sits down by the
side of a COW as he is when he goes to
the table to eat. Having secured per-
sonal cleanliness, the mixers attention
should be next directed to having the
COW clean. Brush the dirt off the I'D
der, if there is any on it. 1t will not
require a MINUTE to do it. 1t is atten-
ton to such little details that always
gives satisfactory results, and it is the
lack of such attention that makes many
a dairy improbable. The time when
butter that is tainted with external
flavors a find a ready market, is for
ever gone, and if anybody will persist in
oo tdiLltiuS u1uSG uOG COlupldln II
he makes less profit than his more care
full neighbor. We earnestly wish that
every butter maker would exert himself
and herself to make the very best arti-
Gle possible. Not only would such a
course be for the interest of the dairy in
general, but it would at least ultimately
prove specially profitable to the indf-
vidual maker. We know that a great
deal of butter is now sold in the village
that goes into one tub, whether it is
good, bad or Indifferent. 1t all brings
the same price at such a market. But
that custom is gradually being done
away with. People who make an extra
quality of butter, and know it, will not
submit to such treatment. They will
find a market where the worth of their
article will be appreciated Reste,n

One Order Too Much.

A New York marketman, in order to
impress his customers with the extent
of his business, fixed up a box to looL
like a telephone, and when the shop
was full would 60 through the telephone
drill, giving out imaginary orders to his
assistants. One day when he was wait
ing on a shrewd old lady, and his stand
was full of purchasers, he began, as
usual, to work his false machine, cry
ing: ''Ned, send three firkins of butter
to French's hotel" '.Now, look here"
said the old lady, GIVE often wondered
at the tremendous business you have
been doing with that machine, but now
you've betrayed yourself. French's
Hotel has been closed for four month";
The butter man was demoralized.

Several reporters were invited to a
dinner at Delmonico's and given a table
10 themselves. At the other tables there
was no wine, except as ordered by the
individual, but they had good cigars.
After the dessert was cleared away the
fragrance from the other tables made the
boys feel badly. One of them drew out
a ten-year-old m~eerschaum, black as
ebony and sweet as a nut, which he
loaded with perique tobacco that would
make a man cry quicker than hickory
wood smoke. He had not puffed long
until a waiter rushed up with a box of
fine cigars.-M Y. Herald.

opened the front door, and then drew it
close behind her without absolutely
shutting it. To her delight she found
it would stay so without moving; this
would enable her to enter the house
again quietly. As quickly as swift feet

went on along the widest road, hoping
to reach some habitation in time. To
her delight she saw at last ahedger and
