How to Cook /. sts.A.

Now il you only knew how to cook
steak to make it good that would do.
but it always makes me sick to see
woman cook steak. She invariably
puts her frying-pan on the stove, and
puts in chunk Of grease about as big
as my fist; and when it is hot enough
10 begin to crackle, she puts in her
beef, and never thinks of covering it
The smoke and steam from it goes to
the very ceiling. After she cooks it
this way until it begins to look like an
old rubber shoe sole, she calls it done.
When you go to eat it there is no more
taste in it than a chip. Now, if you
want good bit OF steak, have a clear
hot fire, set your clean, empty pan on
a spot, cover it up, then pound your
steak, and when your pan is very hot
lay in your steak. and cover quickly.
AS soon as it has crisped enough to
let go its hold on the pan, turn over
and cover quickly turn again as at
first and continue to do SO about every
two minutes until you have turned it
duouI slA VI eiSuG IilueS. nave d hot
buttered dish ready for it and lay it in;
add a sprinkle Of pepper. salt and
sugar, and cover tightly. Now. If you
wish gravy. put bit of butter in
your pan. When hot, rub in a pinch
of flour, rdd small teacupful OF boil
Ing water, let it boil few minutes.
then put in gravy boat instead OF
putting it over your beef to draw out
the juice. Now try this plan just once.
ana you will see you women know
nothing about cooking a good steak

frame work for the snow capped summit OF
Pixies Peak which reveals itself among

young man has taken prize after prize

Boston CSisssJ Herald, Oct .
South Boston hits 1t quite often, oftener
than is generally supposed. Several times
have tho great capital prizes Of the Louis.
lana State Lottery been sent over to tho
peninsula to be distributed among tho cit.
liens of that locality. The latest favored
gentleman at the court OF good fortune was
MIR. John II. havey, who resides on West
Fourth Street, and who does business at
304 WesC Broadway. Mr.. Havey is a pop.
ular citizen Of the South Boston district,
where he has lived as man and boy for ~
years Of his life. He was holder OF Goth
of the second capital prize drawn at the
last drawing of the Louisiana State Lot
terry, and he received 5000 In crisp bills
last week. The full amount that was
drawn by the number he held was elOO, 900,
and as there were two other holders Of
twentieths in Boston,a total Of s15, 600 came
to this city as prize money TO gladden. the
hearts OF the holders OF lucky numbers.
Mr.. Havey is not a constant buyer Of
tickets in lotteries, but has occaslonly pur
chased such tickets without expecting to
draw anything.

Two cottages on George street have recently
been let to Bangor parties who have never visited

will be more demand for rooms and cottages this

many that will come here for the first time this
very summer.
Some of the crews of vessels that anchor here
think it only fun to "pull'' the lobster pots of
campers and they are rewarded with an oc-

contemplate the performance of acts savoring of
injustice. BY the way, the names Of vessels are
easily known, and may be as easily reported If
these lobster transgressons are repeated.
