Explaining Explanations.

lately saw a complaint by a writer that
the next generation, when they read the
cooking books their mothers usei-that is of
course, the cooking books of today-may
well think those mothers were lacking in
common sense, so little is left to their intelli-
gence, matters that seem self evident are so
vinutely explained.
am aware that the writer of the above
complaint gives expression to the feeling of
many. l know one old lady, long superan-
iated from the kitchen, but who was in
1er time an excellent cake and preserve
maker and who still criticises all the new
booking books with some such comments as
these:
Hum, Take a clean cloth; who would
take dirty one, I'd like TO knowi Remove
the cake from the oven without shaking
For PHYS sake, who in their senses would
shake a cake coming out of the oveng" and
so on.
To this good lady's experience such trifiing
matters seem introduced to swell the bulk of
the book She forgets that cookery books
are all that many young wives have to de-
pend on for knowledge that if the cake
should be a trihe hot through the cloth and
their unaccustomed fingers sensitive, they
will, rs likely as not, run to the table with
the cake and drop it hastily and heavily on
1t, glad to get it out Of hand, and unless an
experienced friend is near to explain they
will fail to connect the rapid sinking of the
cake that seemed such success a moment
ago with the jar it has received So in this
case it Is not only necessary TO warn mot to
shake the cake" but why she should not do
so. The writers who are painstsking enough
10 ''explain the explanations" are far fewer
than those who merely compile cooking books,
and their recipes naturally longer and more
tedious to read, to those who only need TO get
the proportions and materials from a recipe.

Keeping Meats in Summer.

A steak which has been cut and cannot be
used till the next day may be kept from be
coming dry on the surface by rubbing it with
olive oil and laying it on platter on the ice.
Turn the meat occasionally. Another method
of keeping meat is to rub the surface with
vinegar Both these processes Improve the
meat, rendering it tender Meat which has
become but very slightly tainted may be re-
stored by washing it with a cup of water, in
which a teaspoonful of borax has been dis
solved, and cutting away the discolored parts.
Meat that has begun really to spoil is not fit
for human food, however, and should be
burned up or buried, rather than doctored
up TO conceal its condition. 1t is no longer
fit for nourishment, but a rank poison, dan
gerous to touch as food. Put piece of char
coal inside of poultry when laying them away
on ice or hanging them. Meat cut from how
ever good animals Is never as good in summer
as winter, because the meat must be hung in
close ice houses in summer, while in winter it
hangs in the fresh open air. Butchers who
understand their business prefer to hang their
beef in a place where the open air can strike
IL on all sides for at least four weeks, and
often as long as six weeks, before they offer
it TO their customers for sale-New York

remarkably handsome and complete, and is
made of the beautiful new moss green mo
rocco recently introduced by Mr. Albert
Barker, which has been selected by her royal
highness, as it happens to be Lord Flies
eolOrs. Although her royal highness has pre-
feIred rather small bag, it is most com
pletely fitted in very compact manner. 1t
contains all the necessary toilet fitting as well
IA the usual writing and needlework acces-
sories. The gold fittings are bullet ham
mered all over, each article being surmounted
with the monogram IA reversed L and coro-
nett in diamonds, which has been selected
from designs specially made by Mr.. Barker,
and which designs the princess has adopted
generally. The hair and other brushes, paper
knife, shoe lift, glove stretchers, and the
handles of the instruments are all made of
very fine pale mottled tortoiseshell and
mounted with the same device. The writing
book is fitted with some exquisitely illumi-
mated note paper and envelopes The bag is
of the new shape invented and patented by
Mr.. Barker, which opens extremely wide and
fiat, and at the same time is capable Of hold
ing more than any other bag of the .aaas
