HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

THE PHILOSOPHY or BOILING AN EGG.
The white of the egg is albumen, and
the yelk, also, but containing peculiar
oil. It is the albumen that heated at
16O degrees Fahrenheit, coagulates and
renders the egg delicious, tender and
digestible. But if the temperature is
raised beyond the perfectly coagulating
point the albumen will dry. shrink and
become leathery and indigestible. Large
eggs placed in boiling water will not
properly "jellify" or coagulate the albu-
men of either the white or of the yelk
in three and half minutes. Then, to
secure the desirable degree of cooking or
coagulation of the albumen of the egg or
of steak, the temperature should be
just sufficient when longer continued to
perfectly cook, and not to scar and horn.
ify the nutritive element of food, until
cooking impairs digestibility rather than,
as it should, promote it. A meal pre-
supposes preparation, calculation and
forethought. Then why not as we'll ap-
ply these to uniform, certain and perfect
cooking of eggsa Ten minutes before
the meal hour put the eggs into vessel
into which boiling water has previously
been poured, cover and set aside. and
when the meal is ready to be served the
eggs will be perfectly cooked. If some
of the family desire their eggs harder,
two or three minutes longer will crafty
the wish, but still the eggs will be per-
fectly digestible. Too much fuel Is
wasted in spelling food that should be
made delicious ar l digestible, but which
too often is unnutritious, indigestibls
and tasteless.-Daughters Of america.

immigration estimates. Sir Richard Cart
wright said that he thought it was time the
Government ceased paying out $250,OO0
year on an immigration which was either
mythical or useless, inasmuch as great
majority of the immigrants leave Canada for

immigration. An immigration of SSo, ooo
persons was reported, but the population
had increased by only so, 900.
