HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
The Philosophy of Boiling.

All cooks do not understand the diff
ferent effects produced by hard and soft
water in cooking meat and vegetables.
Peas and belns cooked in hard water,
containing lime or gypsum, will not boil
tender, because these substances harden
vegetable caseine. Many vegetables, as
onions, boil nearly tasteless in soft water,
because all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions, causing the vegetables
to retain the peculiar favoring prin-
ciples, beside such nutritious matter as
might be lost in soft water. For ex-
tracing the juice of meat to make a
broth or soup soft water, unsalted and
cold at first, is the best, for it much
more readily penetrates the tissue; but
for boiling where the juices should be
retained hard water or soft water salted
is preferable, and the meat should be put
in while the water is boiling, so as to
seal up the pores at once. -Ne'O York.

A Plague OF Felines.

Queensland, in the South Seas, is be-
ing overrun by thousands of peculiar
cats. 1t is supposed they are following
the plague of rats which recently passed
through there, The noteworthy fact is
that the cats, which are of ordinary
size and of the domestic species, are all
pretty near of the same color, namely,
sandy, which proves that they have re-
verted to the original stock. They are
in very poor condition, showing that
their migration is due to the scarcity of
their habitual food, --IhiIQ0elphia Times.
