Always have lobster sauce with salmon.
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on.
Veal outlet dip in egg and bread crumb,
Fry till you see brownish-red come.
Crate druyere cheese on the macaroni
Make the top crisp but not too bony.
In venison gravy, currant Jelly
Mix with old port-see Francatelli
In dressing salad mind this law:
With two hard yolks use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve;
And picked mushrooms, too, observe
Roast pork sans apple sauce past doubt,
Is Hamlet with the Prince left out.
Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over
Broil lightly your beef steak-to fry it
Argues contempt OF Christian diet.
Kidneys fine flavor gain
by stewlng them in good champagne.
Buy stall-fed pigeons; when you've got them,
The way to cook them is to pot them.
Wood-grouse are dry when gumps have
Before you roast EN- always lard EN-.
To roast spring chickens is to spoil en-.
Just split 'em down the back and broil 'em.
1t gives true epicures the vapors
To see boiled mutton minus capers.
Boiled turkey, gourmands know, OF course,
is exquisite with celery sauce
The cook deserves hearty cutting
Who serves roast fowl with tasteless stuffing.
Smells require egg and biscuit-powder.
Don't put fat pork in your clam chowder.
Egg sauce-few make it right, alas =
Is good with biuetish or with bass.
Nice oyster sauce gives zest TO cod
fish, when fresh, to feast a god.
Shad stuffed AID baked, il most delicious;
rwould have electrified Apicius.
Roasted in paste, haunch OF mutton
Might make ascetics play the glutton.
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots OF things to say.
And 80 FL close, for, reader mine,
This is about the hour 1 dine.

IRVING.
HIS Genius In Bringing Out the

His Genius In Bringing out the
Strong Qualities OF Other Actors.
A writer in the Boston Foa says: 1t
seems to me that Mr.. Irving has more
than deserved the recognition he has
received. nluestionably he has taught
us Americans what 1t is to present
Shakespeare. To be sure, there have
been special performances heretofore in
this country as deliberately prepared and
as perfectly carried out, perhaps, as those
he gives right along as matter of course
but the regular presentation in this
country ia undenIsbly very ragged aud
patched up affair, redeemed merely by
the fine acting of one or two people. The
care shown by Mr.. Irving may
fact that, often as his company have
played "The Merchant OF Vsnic ;" he
calls rehearsal previous to presenting
it, after they have been playing some
thing else. How thoae Americans, termed
actors, would storm at the idea OF being
called for careful rehearsal of a play they
had done perfectly three days before But
Mr.. Irving thinks it necessary and Miss
Terry, Mr.. Teriss and the rest have to 60
through the work. They have their re-
ward at night in the admiration and sp-
plause of the public though. Great sue
cess rs Mr.. Irving has been don't think
people have regarded him as 80 great an
actor as Miss Terry ia actress. And
be has treated her with delightful pro-
fessional courtesy and given her oppor
tunities, at tbs sacrifice of himself to
shine. Sh0ne she has and has been
given all the credit for her brightness.
HIN Mr.. Irving is not a handsome,
graceful person like Mise Terry. But he
eau teach her how to act-and doubt
not does. She would probably have been
pleasing Coincidence without Mr..
lrving's instruction, but | don't believe
she would have been the superb artistic
she is. 1t ia easy to see that his people,
from Miss Terry down, owe their
excellence TO him. He knows now
thing ought to be done.
He has the genius 10 invent and to
teach others to perform things that he
cannot do himself. About the only thing
nature has given Mr.. Irving ia brains,
but with these she has largely endowed
him TO rscompense him for her parsimony
in other respects. Those brains have
put him at the head of his profession to-
day. But he had hard tlsbt of it. For
years he ws5 failure, and Miss Terry
told friend of mine that Mr.. Irving a
peculiar, hesitating step is the result OF
embarrassment and uncertainty, being
cq1ired at time when he went nightly
on the stage with the probabilities

Early on the morning of the 9Th the
warden of the jail entered his cell and
found Lucky Joe lying on his mattress,
which was covered with blood, as was the

were wide open and staring, his jaws tai

summoned, and the body was carried
from the cell into an clubhouse, lai out
for burial and placed in plain coffin.
The mother and sister of Wilson st. cd
by the coffin and bewailed his untimsly
end. AT dusk that evening, when every
one had left the apartment, save his
sister, she was Mortified to see the corpse
raise from the coffin, put his hands ON

room. She screamed and tainted. The
ruse WAS not discovered until an hour
aiterward sDd Lucky Joe had succeeds I'd

A visit to his cell showed how artfnlly
the escape had been planned. Wilsor

THE GoDMoTHBk,s GIFT.



Beside the baby's cradle
She sat the whole night long,
To lay upon his little lips
The kisses six Of Song.
"This is the kiss shall make him long
To drink, she softly sighed,
The fount of Beauty with the thirst
That ne'er is satisfied.
This is the kiss shall ope the eye
And stimulate the brain
To see what others never saw,
And he can ne'er attain.
This is the kiss shall charm the lips
So that his whole life long
There honey-bees of thought shall hive
The singing sweets Of Song.
And here the kiss OF Wandering
print on feet and breast,
That he may for possession have
Desire and unrest.
And this shall be the kiss of Love,
His life to consecrate
To her that shall be lost too soon,
Or be found out too late.
These are the kisses FIVE give
My baby in his sleep
The sixth, and sscredest OF all,
A little while l keep.
And he shall never know, or, known,
1t never shall be told.
Which sweeter ls-the kiss give,
Or the kiss that withhold"

From personal observation We know at

OF them do it, We should judge; but
some do, and these nasty workmen
are probably the very fellows
whose mouths are the most
likely to communicate disease. Those
cigars, moreover, which look the neatest
at their smoking end, and are therefore
the most admired by young smokers,
probably owe their attractive symmetry
to this disgusting manipulation. Yet it
is fact that the most inveterate smokers
are found among men who must b. aware
of the prevalence OF this filthy practice.
Almost all those who manufacture cigars,
or who deal in cigars, also smoke cigars.
We don't quite see how they can do it,
