Economic Cookery.

There is no process of cooking which
requires so much care and is so, often
neglected as boiling. This is the most
extravagant method of fcooking any meat
if the water il which the meat is cooked
is not utilized as stock. OF necessity no
meat can be boiled without losing some of
its nourishing qualities and enriching the
water in which it is cooked. The French
process of braising, by means of which
meat is closely covered and slowly boiled
in stock which becomes gradually alb
sorbed by the meat, is the only one by
which the meat docs not suffer actual loss.
There should be slight ebullition at the
edge of the pot, nothing more. This
ebuilition should be kept up steadily un-
til the meat is tender, and no longer, as
nothing is more injurious 10 any boiled
dish than to allow the boiling to stop, or
to cook it after it is done

THE IRISH TROUBLE.
The Basis of Settlement Still Under
Discussion.

The Basis of Settlement Still Under
Discussion.
NEW YORK, Jan. pa Worlds Bou-
logne-sur-Mer special says: The rival
Irish factions have been talking at the
Hotel du Louvre for two days, but they
are apparently no nearer settlement of
the tiresome dispute than ever.
Mccarthy and Sexton are fresh from
Hawarden, whittier they went to get an
assurance for Parnell's demands as a
price of his retirement. If Gladstone had
refused these assurances there would
have been an end to the negotiations at
once. Their continuance shows that
some basis of settlement is under dis
cussion.
The first thing Mccarthy did on seeing
O'Brien and Dillon was to telegraph to
the Bantry faction at Dublin to stop all
agitation against Parnell until the Bou-
logne meeting was over. This also indi-
Gates the issue of the conference to be
hopeful, as otherwise Mccarthy would
not obstruct any Parnell campaign.
The WorlPs London correspondent
talked with Parnell yesterday before he
departed for Ireland, and asked him
whether he had any tidings from
Boulogne.
81 have not" he replied, ''but I have
leltS SIalDiiSl, siIlu Gk pccU an answer OH NV
arrival from Dublin.''
''Do you believe the difficulty will be
settled?'
Il can't say" said Parnell, ''because I
have no knowledge of the views with
which Messrs. Mccarthy and Sexton
went to Boulogne. My position is quite
clear. don't see why there should be
any difficulty
The prolongation of the conference
looks as if an agreement is possible.
PARNELL ADDRESSES A LARGE MEETING.
WATERFORD, Jan. 25.-Parnell to-day
addressed here the largest meeting during
the campaign. He said that Hartlepool
had declared entirely for him in the re-
cent election, and it depended upon Irish
men themselves as TO what kind of home
rule they would obtain. He admitted
that he was too amiable with Gladstone
at Hawarden, but promised that he
would not repeat that mistake. He had
never known anything to be got out of
the negotiations with Gladstone, and was
glad they had been broken off.

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN CUBA.
The Prevailing Cold Weather Benefit
to Growing Cane.
HAVANA, Jan. 25.-The continued
northerly gales which have prevailed
since New Years have reduced the tenn
perature all over the Island of Cuba, and
this viii be noted as the coldest winter ever

fallen as low as $50 and 59o. The cold
weather is favorable to the development
OF cane, which is in splendid condition,
and sugar-making is now general
throughout the island. The estimates
for very large crop will be greatly re-
duced on account of frequent fires among
the standing cane, many of which, no
doubt, We're. .incendiary, and large quanti-
ties of growing cane have been consumed.
