Even salt pork may he considerably
varied by various modes of cooking,
and here are two or three French
methods:
Pork and Cabbage-Cut the pork in
slices and freshen a little if extremely
salt. Cut in slices also a firm head of
winter cabbage or two small ones. Put
a thick layer of the cabbage in alarge
stew pan; shred an onion very fine and
scatter over it, also a feay whole pep
per-corns, two or three cloves, and,
if liked, a pinch of thyme and summer
savory. Lay on the pork, then the
remainder of the cabbage, seasoning
as above. Cover with plenty of water
and boil for two hours.
Pork Baked with Apple-Cut a
pound of salt pork in thin slices and
lreshen in cold water brought to Il
boil. Take two tart apples, an onion
md a half dozen potatoes; pare them
all and slice. Mix all together with
the pork in a baking tin, season with
black pepper, add water to barely
cover, and bake for two hours.
Salt Pork with Peas-Cut u pound
81 pork in slices, and these in large
dice. Have ready Il pint of split peas
soaked over night in cold water. A
carrot cut in dice may also be added.
Simmer all together for two hours.
Rice may be used instead of peas.
Peas Panada-Cut a quarter of "a
pound of fat bacon or salt pork into
small dice; put it in the pot, with an
onion or two leeks, sliced fine, and fry
for ten minutes, stirring often; add u
pint of split peas, soaked, and four
quarts of water. Boil until reduced to
a pulp or PURGE. Rub il through IA
coarse sieve; add a little grated
cracker, and simmer fer a few minutes.
Then serve A bunch of sweet herbs
may be simmered with it.
Pork with Pigs Liver-Cut in dice
a quarter of a pound of fat pork or
bacon, with a pound of pigs liver.
Fry the pork lightly, then add the
liver; season with salt and pepper,
and fry for five minutes. Add a pint
OF boiling water and a pound of tur-
nips, cut in small dice. Simmer for
an hour. Most delicious with mush-
rooms instead of the turnips. Cor.

once III ten years instead of trienniallv.
FOR the purpose of legislation the
whole church will be divided up into
a number of provinces. each with an
archbishop and with a provincial svn-
Cd which will meet annually. The
archbishop of New York will be the
prlmate, holding the same relation to
the church as the Archbishop of Can
terbury holds to the Anglican Church.
In fact the Anglican theory of church
government will be closely copied.
Cathedrals will spring up. having
deans, sub-deans, canOns. and Dreben-

IN charge of diocesan districts to act as
the eye of the bishop" Even TODAY

church. And when New York erects

upon these views The Church Union

moral which was told the other dav in

a gentleman, who is regarded as some
what eccentric by the more convpn-
tlonal OF his acquaintance, and whose
management of his small son. a lad of
some seven years, is especially amaz-
ing TO the gossips, returned home the
other evening to be met with the newe
that the boy had cut a hole in the
drawlng-rOOm sofa.
Wen, my SON" the father said
after being informed by the lad that he
mad done the damage under the pres-
sure of an irresistible desire. such as ia
usually the plea of children in similar
circumstances. " l am very sorry that

The small boy knew his father too
well to protest, and indeed for the
moment he was probably only too
happy to get off so easily. When
however, he had been summoned TO
slt on that cut two or three times
things wore a different aspect. He
heard the dOOrbell ring with appre-
hension, and when he was called for to
run to the drawing room he burst into
