Frying Food.

Grease OF every description is capa~
bic of being heated to very much
higher temperature than water; in
fact, it can be made almost three
times as hot as boiling water.
When fat is at it's boiling point it is so
hot that any article OF food brought
in contact with it is actually burned,
and this is precisely the reaton why,
for purposes OF frying, fat should al
ways be boiling hot. For any article
Of food, q doug hnut, for example,
dipped into boiling fat, is Immediate
.ly covered all over by thin crust of
burned dough, which prevents the fat
from penetrating further in and en-
ables the rest of the doughnut to he
exposed to g. greater degree of heat
than can be applied to it by any other
process, without coming in contact
with the fat, and the natural chemical
processes 60 on inside with a greater
degree of perfection than can be OBJ
tanned by any other method. Perfect
frying is the perfection Of cooking, but
so soon as the fat is not sufd-
GENTLY hot to create the burned
crusts around the article fried, the fat
penetrates it and absolutely prevents
cooking from taking place at all. If
the fat is not boiling, bubbling hot, the
process that takes place is not cooking,
but simply drenching the food with a
tepid fat and rendering it totally indi-
gestibls. It makes no difference how
hot the fat is afterward, the mischief
is done the moment the fat penetrates
the inside. Il n r r
T Ali perfectly fried food has thin,
crisp, brown outside crust (which has,
in itself a relishing taste) and is perfect
]y free from the suspicion Of lat inside
except what was Intentionally put
there by the cook. All ousekeepers
know that to fry well their fat should
be hot. But they do not attend tot
as scrupulously as they would if they
understood the true phil Of it.
Boiling, bubbling fat cam OF penetrate
nything, and cooks TO perfection; tep:
id fat penetrat les everywhere and does
not cook at all, but actually prevents
cooking. Any housed keeper who reads
this and chooses to profit by il, need
never put any greasy, fried, hasf-cook-
ed and indieestible food upon her Ia

The Hartford Times hits this we'll
merited slap at the prevail hg craze for,
what is mis:called household decora-
ton: The rage for over-decoratine
household articles continues. Wom.
en- still take pleasure in tying up chair
legs with RIB IONS, and dressing whisk
brooms with bows. The latest deco
rative folly is milking stool. Valuac
BILE space is given iii fashion magazines
in telling how to decorate them with
plush, gilded paint, field daisies and
to tie their three legs with braided
ropes Of ribbon. Why not gid the cows
horns, stamp it's hoofs with cattail
and tie it's tail with pink and olive
ribbon? 1t would make q charming
pastoral picture swishing its beribbon-
ed tail among '.the beautiful, beautiful
daisies" There is so much nowadays
that is really handsome and artistic
in the way of fancy work and decora-
tive art that there is no need of re-
storing to much of the foolishness
that falsely goes under that name.
Furniture is prettier without ribbons,
and the place for rolling pins is in the
kitchen pantry; they should not be
placed on bureau covered with plush
and hung with button hooks. All
such articles are meretriciOus in taste,
and small as they are, they exert
wrong influence in educating the mind
to true ideas in |tdecorative art
Cleanliness.
Cultivate cleanliness OF the person
by washing, bathing,-with towel bath,
sponge bath, or by the regular BATH
and by frequent changes ofundercloth-
ing. From the fact that so much i'm
pure and poisonous matter, arising
from the wearing out of the tissues, is
thrown upon the skin by the prespi-
ration, bathing is of the utmost i'm
portance, and should have special at
tention; in no case less often than
once q week. Never battle soon after
eating; the best time is before break
fast, or not less than four hours after
eating; never 90 into the water in
state OF fatigue; never eat soon after
bathing; never drink cold water before
bathing; do not take cold bath when
tired; after bathing keep the body
comfortably warm by exercise or q
fire, and do not expose it to a draught
OF cold air until dry. There is yet an
other feature ofcleanliness that should
not be overlooked; it is the care that
should be taken of our homes, our
beds, our rooms, and places where we
work. Some very spruce-looking peo-
pie are singularly neglectful Of their
surroundings in doors. Cultivate also
me,.tal and moral cleanliness. Moral
and physical purity act and react up
on each other. Self-respect, the cor
ner-stone of morals, is incompatible
with dirt and rags, and dirt and rags
are equally subversive of health and
morals. Leader.

While associated dairyinghas it's adj

raj New Yorker, among which the ed
ucational are not the least-it also
has it's disadvantages. It's difficult
to make patrons conform to the nee
essary rules and regulations to secure
uniformity Of product OF the highest
quality. Diaries, farms, feed, care
and the quality of milk differ SO much,
that it is next to an impossibility, to-
say the least, to secure justice. among
the patrons. The poor milk counts
for just as much, pound for pound,
in making dividends as the good milk.
Then, owing to the impossibilty OF
controlling all the conditions in pro-
ducing and handling the milk deliver
ed at the factory, neither butter nor
cheese of as good quality can be made
there as can be turned out by the pri-
vate dairyman who understands his
business and has everything under his
Immediate supervision. Hence, I am
not surprised to see it announced that
a majority of the premiums awarded
at the dairy exhibit made in conjunc-
ton with the late Chicago Fat Stock
Show, were awarded to private dairy
men.
