OUR VALIANT SECRETARY.


The correspondence closes with a letter
from Mr. Bayard to Mr.. Phelps. dated JAN
uary 30, 1889, acknowledging the receipt of
the reply of the Marquis of Salisbury to
Mr.. Phelps note in relation to the case of.
Lord Sackville. Secretary Bayard, in this
letter, states fully the views OF this Govern
ment in respect to the grounds of Lord
Sackville's dismissal. He quotes literally
from the Murchison letter, and sharply
criticises the reply of Lord Sackville. He
says:
The correspondence not only constituted an
unprecedented interference in our domestic
politics, but it contained gross impugnments of
the Presidents public action. Hence, had the
Objectionable conduct of Lord Sackville ended
with his reply to the Murchison letter the situ-
alton would have been sufficiently serious, but
in various statements made by him TO repre-
sentatives of the public press the impugnments
OF the action of this Government were empha--
sized.
The Secretary then proceeds to the con-
sideration of the Marquis of Salisbury's
note laying down the rule which, In his
opinion, governs the dismissal of diplomatic
agents, and says:
The offense of Lord Sackville consisted in
personal misconduct, wholly inconsistent with
his official duty and relations, of which no sug-
gestion of approval by his Government has yet
been intimated.

How TO CRATE A LEMoN.-The
grating of a lemon is a most simple
operation, and it may seem that every
one must know how to do 1t, but this
is far from being The case. AS many
cases of curdled custards and sauces
ars caused by this fact, the right way
in this case is very important. Tie
object in using grated rind of lemon is
to obtain the fragrance and flavor,
which differ very greatly from any ex-
tracts, however good. Now, the whole
of the oil which contains this fragrance
is ut the surface is, in fact, the yellow
portion of tie rind; therefore this, aud
only this, must be removed with the
crater. The white part underneath Is
bitter, and will cause milk or cream to
curdle, but it contains no part Of lemon
flavor. Yet when lemon flavor Is called
for, the lemon is often gratel right
down to the pulp in parts, while the
yellow rind is left on in patches. A
lemon should be grated evenly, begin
ming at the end and working around it,
using as small a surface of the CRATER rs
possible to prevent waste. The habit
Of turning the lemon as you CRATE,
comes as easily as to turn the apple un-
der the knife when peeling. Generally
twice across the CRATER and back be-
tween each turn will remove all the
essential oil, but while guarding against
grating too deeply, rare must be taken
to remove the whole Of the yellow snr-
face. A well grated lemon should be
exactly of the same shape as before,
have no deep scores into the pith. and
have an oily-looking surface. -Harper's

child. Don't try to work with q heavy

that make the digging quite easy and

another for a ball of twide, hammer,
