What a Porterhouse Steak Is.

Very few people who sit down to {.
good breakfast of ''porterhouse'' steak
could tell, were they asked, what part
of bullock this choice tidbit is cut
from. The ''porterhouse" is that por-
ton of the beef either side of the spine
beginning where the ribs end and ex-
tending along to where the hip bone
begins. The tenderloin should form a
part of the porterhouse. This is a mar
row strip of succulent and tender flesh
extending along and protecting the in
ner sides of the spinal column. Its
high price is due to its choice quality,
and the fact that even in the largest
bullocks there are not above ten to
twelve pounds of tenderloins. The
term ..porterhouse" is of English
derivation, and it has no equiv in
either the German or French language,
while tenderloin. on the other hand,
is known among the Germans as 'lum-
MEL and .'fillet," by which latter name
it is also known among the French.
The term ''porterhouse" probably
originated from the eating-houses and
inns of England, also known as porter
and ale houses. A customary order
was: 'Give me a porter and steak"
and in time the name ''porterhouse"
probably was applied to the choice
pieces of steak as distinguished from
the more ordinary kinds.-Notes aud

HOW TO COOK MEATS.

Roasts Cooked in Ovens a Delusion ana
Snare.
Baked meat is all abomination. So
called ''roast" meat cooked in ovens is
a delusion and snare.
Roast meat is roast meat, and in Cr-
der to roast you must have an open
fire, before which yonr joint is placed
in such a manner that the air circulates
freely around it.
The reason why it is Objectionable
to cook meat by baking it in an oven
unless it be a big bakers oven-is that
it is difficult, if not impossible, to keep
an ordinary oven in cookingstove
clean and we'll ventilated. The sides,
roof and floor of the oven get bespat-
tered with particles of fat and spots of
gravy during the baking process, and
these particles become charred. and
thus fill the oven with ammonia and
with foul atmosphere of empyreu-
matte oils, by which terrible word the
chemists indicate the unwholesome
vapors generated through the action
of fire.
In the process of roasting before an
open fire, these empyreumatic odors
are indeed generated, whereas they are
imprisoned in the oven, and there
penetrate the meat, destroy its flavor,
and render it more or less insipid.
Meat. however, may be baked in
pies, because in this case it's surface,
being protected by the crust, can not
be charred and impregnated with the
foul empyreumatic oils. Meat baked
in pie-crust amounts in reality to a
stewing operation, the paste forming,
as it were. stewpan with its lid.
Frequent basting is essential to sue
cessful roasting. Otherwise. the CO.
agulated surface of the meat would
crovass during the operation and al
low an escape of the juice. The melt
ed fat poured over the meat penetrates
into every crack. and by means of the
higher temperature of the fat. the sur
face of the meat is maintained in an
impervious state. Louisville Courier
Journal.

INDUSTRIAL SUMMARY.

SILK manufacturing is growing very rap
idly in the United States.
THE production of petroleum in the United
States is on the decrease.
IN Chicago 80, 600 hogs were packed
this year against /. .557, 600 in 1886.
1T is now proposed to clear the air IN
mills and factories of all dust by means of
electricity.
WOODEN carriage wheels will soon be
done away with In carriages and steel
wheels substituted.
THE agricultural interests of the South
are rapidly organizing and are buying much
cheaper through their combinations.
The false hair trade of New York re-
quires the annual importation to that city
from Europe of about four tons of human
hair.
AMERICAN capitalists are forminga syndi-
cate to buy up flour mills. A leather syn
dicate has been formed in New Jersey for
fine leather.
SILK weavers' wages have declined 20 per
cent. in ten years, but they are said to be
earning nearly as much, because the ma
chinery is better.
The Southern cotton goods manufact
urers are trying to manufacture finer stuff
than cheap cotton stuff, as the market is
likely soon to be overrun with it.
NINETEEN salmon canneries are in opera
ton in Alaska. They are so thick in the
waters that the boats often can not crowd
through them. Last year $50, 900 cases were
exported
SOUTHERN iron manufacturers are SAID to
find the negro entirely capable of perform
ing all classes of work in rolling mills and
foundries, while his labor costs forty per
cent. less than that of the white man.

malt liquors were sold in the United States,
or nearly one third of a barrel for each per-
son. The cities in which the consumption
was largest were New York, st. Louis and
Chicago, respectively.
New YORK State factories are undergo
ing a rigorous inspection at the hands of
the board of inspectors. The board is in
structed to look after the sanitary condi-
tions Of factories, the employment of chill
dren under legal age, and the enforcement
of the law providing that no woman shall
work over sixty hours a week in any fac

SHARK skins are tanned into a peculiar
kind of leather called shagreen. This
leather goes through a peculiar process to
give it roughened surface. 1t is sprinkled
over with small hard seeds, which are
pressed into the soft leather, leaving it pit
ted all over with small indentations. The
surface is then shaved down smooth, and
when the leather is stepped in water the
depressions swell up to their original sur
face, leaving the leather roughened in a
peculiar manner. Shagreen is used fo1
covering small cases, for sachels and other
small ornamental work.

A Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr.. George 81. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central g. Hudson River Railroad, IN ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
the fact that the United States of
America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million Of the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
world that it started from the largest city
ON the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities in the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more Of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditions than any other route. There
is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad is
the outgrowth of luxurious and prosper
Gus civilization and one of its greatest en-
gineering triumphs. As is well known it
is the only line from the west to New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without ferrying them across the North
River. Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
New York, but lasting monument to the
foresighted Gberality and enterprise of that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
tenn, Commodore Vanderbilt The limited
trains of this line are the finest in the
world, and it's general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and ap-
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.

Hypnotizing by Photograph.

obeyed as those which he uttered di-
rectly, and suggestions of every pos
sible sort were as effectually commu-
nicated through the medium of the

conclusion which he deduces from his
experiments is that the received theory
of magnetic current passing from the

less, and that the real cause of the

CURED BY FRIGHT.
An Original Method of Curing Chills ar
Fever.

An Original Method of Curing Chills ana
Fever.
The physician who believes that
mind and matter act in unison may re-
member how that truly celebrated
great man. Boerhaave, on certain
occasion, cured the ague. That COM
plant was very prevalent in his neigh
borhood, and he had treated it with
Indifferent success. when his noble
conceptions of the united agency OF
mind and matter suggested the fol-
lowing treatment: He desired about
a dozen patients. whose fit of the ague
came on about the hour of the merid-
ian, to come to him at ten o'clock.
They were shown into the same room,
and after little while wereainformed
that the doctor was busy and would
wait upon them as soon as possible.
At the time the attendant addressed
them he placed number Of irons in
the fire, which he increased to a con-
siderable size. After the eleventh
hour the servant again entered the
room, apologied again for the
doctors absence. and turned and
paid great attention to the
irons that were heating. One
of the patients inquired the use of
irons, and was informed that they
were heating for the purpose of an op-
Grafton on the patients who had the
ague. This was soon whispered from
the one to the other The man had
left the room, the doctor came not; and
more and more were their attentions
directed toward the now red-hot irons,
Surmise and conjecture had a strong
base to play upon; the red-hot irons
were for the ague-patients; every one
felt the coming crisis of his own case.
They looked and walked about the
room; they were soon every one of
them in a violent perspiration; and
the doctor came not until one o'clock,
and the ague-fit came not at all. To
his inquiries he found all we'll; and
the time had passed, and not one had
upon him the symptoms of his COM
plaint. And taking them into anoth-
er room, one by one with care, and
caution, and some trifing medici ne,
he dismissed them. saying that he
hoped they would recover without hav-
ing recourse to any violent remedy. In
truth, agitation had excited that ap-
prehenson which had completely cured
them of their disorder.-N. Y. Ledger.
