over the cullet when brought to the table.
| The Cook: Cold venison or mutton may
be deliciously cooked over on the dinner
table in chaffing-dish by making sauce
OF a little broth, a glass of claret, pepper,
salt, currant jelly, and at the last moment
bit Of mustard stirred in, and then let the
meat steam in it for moment until
thoroughly hot.
New York Star: Any range is capable
of providing clear, bright fire. To assure
this, all the live Goals should be raked to
the front and the back of the fire filled in
loosely with fresh coal. For such fire a
close estimate is fifteen minutes pound
for UNDERGONE beef and twenty minutes a
pound for well cooked. The meat should
be frequently basted with it's own drippngs,
and, better still, with a little stock of
gravy.
Evening Post: Oyster crabs are so a
quart; they are dear because sometimes a
hundred oysters will be opened without find
ing crab. They are delicate and sweet
prepared on large oyster shells. Dried and
grated bread crumbs should be used instead
of cracker crumbs with them, the latter be-
ing too soggy. Toss the crabs lightly
among the bread crumbs, cover with bits of
sweet butter, and season with mace or nut
meg and q dash of cayenne. Bake in
oyster half-shells until brown; garnish each
portion with slice of fresh lemon. Lay
every shell on small plate and surround
with sea-weed when serving. II sea-weed
cannot be had. green moss can be pur-
chased at the florists, which makes suit
able mat for each shell.
Where Kentucky Excels Boston.
The following paragraph has had the run
of the papers:
A Kentucky congressman's pretty daugh-
ter visited Washington recently. She went
up to President Cleveland upon the occa-
sion OF White house reception, and said:
'Ill bet horse you don't know who l
am" The president was equal to the oc-
casion. mo" said he, II don't know who
you are, but I'll bet horse you are from
Kentucky" ''Shake," said the young
lady, and she has been on good terms with
the president ever since.
Now, it must be remembered, says the
Kansas City Journal, that as long as the
lady had horse to bet she represented
the elite of Kentucky and was specimen
of its culture, stable culture, we might re-
mark. How different it would have been
had she been Boston girl. She would
have said: Il venture to indulge in the
unfattering belief that your excellency will
fail to accord to me that recognition which
the vanity of woman is supposed to demand
after having been seen by anyone, and es-
pecially by one occupying the exalted posi-
ton you honor. In fact, Mr.. President, l
am willing to wager a complete set of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica that my name has
escaped from the recesses of your memory"
There are different kinds of ''culchaw,"
and we bet that the majority of mankind
would give the cake to the Kentucky lass.
Neat Things for BilIets-Doux.
Uncut edges are the correct thing in sta
tionery just now.
Parchment paper, more suitable for missal
work than stationery, is now the fashion.
Pretty blotters for presents are made by
painting some little scene on the corner.
Many of these bear winter scene that is
very pleasing. Mourning stationery bears
heavy Grape edge upon only two sides.
and some with perforated handkerchief edge
in black and white stripes is extensively
used.
Everything old-fashioned has been re-
vived in stationery. Sealing-waX outfits
come in every variety OF style and Of every
difference in cost. Some in plush cases
with match box formed of the body
of turtle in brass, with candlestick
mounted upon its back, with a brass paper
knife bearing the seal at the end of the
handle, and sealing wax candles and every
thing complete for $1,000. while smaller
sets are made in the form of trays. made
often in leaf form, having small flower
candlestick with receptacles for candle
sticks and sealing-wax. Combined letter
paper and envelope, introduced probably as
fit accompaniment of the sealing outfits.
is one of the relics of the days when en-
velopes were not invented, or, at least, moi
in general use.
