A Suggestion for Easy Cooking.

A writer in the New York Times says:
GA process in cooking that possesses the
advantage of considerable saving in Ia
Dor and fuel, and, furthermore, makes it
impossible to scorch OF burn anything, is
as follows: The food is brought to boil
and allowed to boil for few minutes.
The kettle is then removed from the fire
and carefully protected in heat safe so
as to prevent the heat from escaping.
The food will then be cooked by its own
heat, or, in other words, the temperature
will for several hours remain high enough
to produce the necessary changes in the
victuals under treatment.
The heat safe necessary for the fore
going process can be easily constructed
by anybody, and at merely nominal
cost. First get common packing box
of suitable size, cover the bottom with
q layer of picked wool or cotton two or
three inches thick, then from piece of
zinc or sheet iron make hollow cy .lnder
little larger than the kettle used, place
the cylinder in the box, and fill the inter
val between the cylinder, and the box
with cotton or wool two or three inches
thick. A common pillow will answer
for the lid, and the safe is ready for use.
When the kettle is removed from the fire
care should be taken not to raise the lid,
which should fit as closely as possible,
and when placed in the safe the pillow
must be tucked we'll down all around.
After remaining in the heat safe for from
two to four hours, according to circum.
stances, the food will be done, and you
will be astonished to find what well
cooked and toothsome dish you have
prepared with so little trouble.
Hay or cow hair, being cheaper, can
be substituted for wool or cotton, but do
not retain the heat quite as we'll,
especially in apparatus of smaller size.
The safe can, of course. be made to con.
tain several vessels at one time, and
meat, potatoes, beans, ETC., can all be
prepared at the same time. Potatoes,
beans, rice, peas and likes can be placed
in the safe as soon as they boil, but large
pieces of meat should be boiled for about
half an hour so as to allow the heat to
penetrate them better"

A Lecture on Coff e.

It is a well known fact that better
aud more delicious coffee is made by
pouring the boiling water over the
ground coffee than by boiling the coffee
itself, as unfortunately is yet so often
done. The boiling water that is poured
over the coffee ceases to boil the instant
it leaves the kettle in which it was boiled.
Through evaporation it is already some
what cooled on the way to the coffee pot,
and by further contact with other bodies
the temperature is still further lowered
until it is evident that the temperature
in the coffee pot is several degrees be-
low the boiling point. The coffee is con-
sequently not made with boiling but with
warm water.

Fried PARSLEY for a Garnish.

This is the cheapest of all garnishes,
but it must be carefully prepared. Wash,
pick and dry the parsley thoroughly,
then put it into wire basket, and hold
it in boiling fat for two minutes; then
take it out of the basket and dry it we'll
by placing it before the fire. Becf-drip-
ping is the best frying medium for this
purpose, and care should be taken to
have it boiling hot when the parsley is
put in.

Pie Without Fruit.

When fruit is scarce, good pie can
be made of one clp of rich, sweet cream,
sweetened and favored to suit the taste;
whip to stiff froth with an egg-beater;
if the cream is cold it will get stiff
quicker. Line pie plate with crust and
bake; put the cream into it; set in cold
place until you want to eat it. Small
pieces of red jelly placed on the top i'm

One of the Seas Dangers.

A curious acoustic phenomenon, some
times observed at sea, has been termed
by NJ. Fizeau, the "mirage of sound"
from its analogy to certain well:known
phenomena Of light. The sound-waves
are DETECTED upward to a very marked
extent under the influence of strata of
air Of various temperatures, and to this
effect are ascribed numerous collisions
between vessels having powerful fog
signals.

Early Potatoes.

Three years experience convinced a
Farmer and Breeder correspondent that
his practice brings potatoes several days
sooner than if planted without manuring
in the hill" Starting, "the first appor-
tunity in spring." with loose, loamy land,
reasonably rich or made so by thor
oughly working in of well-rooted ma
nure," he proceeds as follows:
The soil should he thoroughly fined
before planting. Mark the rows, run
ming the plow reasonably deep. A good
single shovel is the best implement for
marking for early potatoes-have the
rows about three or three and a half
feet apart. Take reasonably fresh ma
nure and drop forkful where each hill
is to be planted. Cover lightly with
soil and then drop whole potato of
medium size; on this cover we'll, step
ping on the hill to press the soil on the
seed. The fresh manure will aid mate
rally in securing the necessary warmth
to induce termination. and if, as is some
times the case after planting early in
spring, we have several days of cold,
wet weather, there will lie considerably
less danger of the seed rottiug. AS soon
after planting as condition of soil per-
init, a thorough narrowing should be
given. This fines and levels the surface
and destroys young weeds that are Ger.
tain TO start. Under ordinary condl-
tions two harrowings can nearly always
be given. Keep the surface mellow. The
first working should always be the deep
est, getting shallower ca h time. l gen
orally prefer to give at least one good
hoeing after the first cultvating so as to
loosen the soil we'll between the plants
and kill weeds. Cultivate sufficiently
to keep c'ean and have the soil mellow

made. After a good start blythe vines.

three good plants to each hill"

Onions.

Mr.. VIM. H. Derby, of Revere, read
very practical paper before the meeting
of the Boston Market Gardeners Associa-
tion on December 81. The general rules
for growing crops are varied by different
conditions of soil and climate, and the
speaker confined himself to the methods
OF onion growing at Revere, where the
business has been steadily growing and
is fairly profitable. Good seed is a very
important item. To grow it one must
select carefully the best bulbs and place
them in a dry place to keep with tops
on Early in spring they arc set out
after cutting off the old tops, if any re-
main, in rows three feet apart and six
inches between the bulbs in the rows.
The crop is carefully cultivated and
weeded, and in September the seed is
cut and stored in dry place until it can
be cleaned. A barrel of onions will pro-
duce about ten pounds of seed in ia
vosable year, but sometimes less than half
this amount. The land at Revere is
mostly strong clay loan, and works best
By applying in the fall heavy dressing of
coarse manure, which is ploughed in;
land thus enriched will admit of work
ing a week earlier in spring than if not
thus heated, a very important point with
onions, which must be planted early, the
earlier the better. May l2 being as late as
is considered safe. The rows are sown

story was given on the authority OF Consul

she told Blythe he was the father, When
he went back to San Francisco he acknowi-

morning was largely given to his CORE.

the afternoon and eveoiog. chiefly towns
people. Among out'of.town callers OF
prominence was Judge j b. Catron and
Colonel w. L. Rynerson Of New Mexico.
and Samuel w. Allerton, the well-known
Chicago capitalist. Tho visit to General
Harrison was largely social, hut also po-
litical. since they are earnestly advocat-
ing "home rule" for the territories.
1t is believed they urged upon the presi-
dent.elect strict observance Of that plank
in the republican platform which favors
the appointment Of residents of the terri
tories to federal offices. They claim that
similar promises embodied in the inter
national platform have been grossly vio-
lated in New Mexico. aud believe that
every federal officer, from governor down
to steuographer, ought to be supplied
from residents Of the territories. 1t Is
thought their visit to-day was an informal
one and mertlv preparatory to
some general movement on the part
New Mexico, looking to their complete
emancipation from nonresident rule. 1t
is not known what views. il any, the presi-
dent-eect expressed in his talk with the
New Mexicans. but gentleman who
ciai ms to know somewhat of General Har-
rison's views on territorial ques stions, says
the general has for, years been believer

lows out his former opinions he will rigor-
