Tho secrct of MeII Cooked Mutton Chops.

The great secret in cooking these is care.
They burn so easily that they should never
chops and never fry them; the latter pro-
cess is apt to make them greasy, Trim the
chops neatly, salt and pepper them, rub a
little salad oil on each and broil them for
ten or twelve minutes. AS soon as one
side is done cook the other, If YOU have n
double broiler it is handicst, us you turn
them as you please.

Tho Old but Worthy Game of Crambo.

the Normans, who played it in William the
Conqueror's time, and it is worthy of a
place among games today;
Give out to each player two pieces Of
paper, one quite small, the other a triae
larger. On the smallest pieces let each
write noun; on the larger pieces a ques-
tion may be written
Let them be collected anl well mixed up.
They should be tightly folded before, 50
that no enc can peep at the contents.
Give cut to each player a noun and a
question: then let each one write a stanza
or piece of poetry, introducing the ques.
tion asked and the noun.
When all have finished, let each one read
his production, in which case merriment
reigns supreme, the most absurd cembina-
tions happening. For instance, in one
game one Of the players had for a noun
the word England" while her question
is "Who was McGinty?' Her clever an
swer read thus:
"McGinty was au Trishman,
Who went to England by a new plan"
This was selected, not for its rhythmical
properties, buG to show the wit that dis
plays itself when uncompromising material
is at hand.
