a veteran samester has figured out
the possibilities of poker. He makes
the chances of drawing pair on three
card draw to for triplet, for anoth-
er pair the same, for full hand to 81 F.,
and for four of kind to G64. The
chances of improvement are thus little
more than l to 5. If you 60 in on a
pair of jacks three players are against
YOU, which is the average with six play
crs, the average chances are that you
are playing against ono better hand and
two poorer ones. When you have aces
you have in all probability the best

of 4 flush WHEN you draw to four cards

The WHY" in Vegetable Cookery


Why should beans never be put into
cold water to soak, rs is recommended.
Because all the nutritious portion of the
bean is extracted by the process. They
should be washed in warm water, then
in cold. be tied loosely in cloth, be put
into boiling water. with a spoonful Of
dripping and little salt in it, and be
kept boiling for four hours. They are
then excellent if served with gravy, and
not with melted butter. They serve a.
garnish around roast mutton or beef,
and are excellent eating served whole
or as faree. TO make the latter, when
the beans are done throw them instant
ly into cold water, when the skins will
slip of. Rub the beans through u col
ander, and mix a lump of butter with
them. A little stock, or milk, or cream
is excellent mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast boiling
water be used in boiling vegetables, po-
tatoes excepted? Because the greater
the body of boiling water the great
er the heat. If only little water
be used, the whole affair soon cools,
and the vegetable becomes tough.
so much so that no length of time in
boiling them will render them otherwise.
Broccoli sprouts in April. if properly
cooked by boiling them for eight min
utes in boiling water, will be tender as
marrow; but, if not properly done, hours
will not cook them.
Why should onions be always cut in
round and very thin rings? Because
the fibre is thus cut across, and in so
cutting them, whether for frying or for
making sauce, they are rendered very
tender when cooked. With turnips and
carrots it is just the same; neither of the
three should be split or cut in any other
way.
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only boiling water and salt?
Because parsley, having no oil in it,
would be spoiled with soda and all fla
vOr would be extracted. All parsley
should be picked free from the stem, be
put into plenty of boiling water with
salt and in summer be boiled only one
minute, and in winter two minutes, and
be strained and chopped on the back of
a plate. II only little water is used
in boiling it, the water becomes brown,
and the parsley tough and i'll favored.
Why should vinegar for picking with
never be boiled? Because boiling takes
all the strength from it. Whatever veg
etables are to be picked should first be
made soft with boiling water strong
with salt and then be well drained and
the vinegar poured over.
Why should two ounces of salt and
bit of washing soda always be put in the
water to boil greens in? Because the
salt crisps the greens and fiavors them,
and the soda extracts the oil, which is
greatly injurious to the digestion.-Ger-

arose to express his regrets that the
clergy, as a rule, knew so little OF music

of the prevailing ignorance: 'One Sum

tune at my disposal. There was just
time to rush to his room and ask him to
change the hymn. 'Why?' asked he,
evidently annoyed. Because, SIR re-

PARrlSANsHIP IN TINE STATE UNI.
YERSlr6.

1t strikes US that some of our State
contemporaries manifest q very bad spirit
in their criticisms of the State Univer-
sity.
Tie REGISTER is not disposed to
silence criticism of any Of our public in
stitutions, much less to cover up any
wrong OF defect in their management
when the Democratic party is response
BILE for it. On the contrary the REGIS
TER will assist to expose and will en-
courage any just criticism of the affairs
of the University or any other State
institution where Encouragement ex-
lists, and will insist on its correction, no
matter who is responsible or who may
be hurt by it.
But the difference between the REG
IsTER's position in this regard and that
assumed by some Of our contemporaries
toward the University, is that the REG
ETER looks first aud foremost to the
success and preservation of the Uni
versity, no matter what policy may be
i'm vogue in its management; no mat
ter what men or party may be in con-
troll, and no matter what wrongs and
defects may be affecting it.
The REGISTER believes in correcting
and curing the evils that may exist, in
order to save the University. Some OF
our contemporaries seem to want to de-
slroy the University in order to
get rid Of the alleged wrongs.
The REGISTER believes in enlisting
tie whole people in the University; in
encouraging the young men of the

A RATHER knotty question, invOlv-
ing the citizenship of n woman, has
just been decided in the United States
Court at Detroit. 4 French woman
was married to an American citizen
living in this country. She thereby ac-
quired American citizenship. Her first
husband died and she marrieda second,
who was a Frenchman, not na~turalized,
and therefore not a citizen. The Court
holds that by the second marriage she
lost the citizenship acquired by the first.
The second husband, though 3 resident
of the United States, was a citizen of
France. By the marriage the French
citizenship of the husband became the
citizenship of the wife.
