Every Thing Necessary for Course DIM
ner Done Up In Cans.
Such an advance has been made in
late years in canning all sorts of stuff
that one can now obtain a whole course
dinner, from soup to dessert, in tin.
The variety of soups that are now
canned so as to be ready for consump-
ton with very little trouble as to heat
| ing is remarkable. One may select
! from this list tomato mock turtle, OK
tail, consomme, julienne, macaroni,
olSra, gumbo, green turtle, chicken,
pea, beef, bouillon, Magg. vermicelli,
mullagatawny, clam broth and clam
chowder. All these soups come in cans,
and, with nothing more to be done
than little heating, are ready for the
table.
If one does not care to begin his din
ner with soup he may do so with oys-
ters. These come in cans, and one may
have either saddle rock or blue points
as he pleases or both, If he prefers
clans to oysters, he can have them, for
little neclls are now done up so well in
cans that they may be had at hand al
ways. For fish he may choose from
bloaters, fresh mackerel, fresh salmon,
whitefish and brook trout Incident
ally, for relishes, he may have olives
radishes and even celery. When it
comes to meats, we find vast variety
Roast chicken, roast turkey, roast beef,
ham, roast lamb, roast mutton, and
roast duck are all canned. The vegeta-
bic list comprises asparagus in half.
dozen varieties, corn, tomatoes, peas,
ruccotash, spinach, squash, potatoes,
Boston baked beans. lima beans and
stringless beans. For game he may
have pheasant, quail, partridge, grouse,
woodcock, snipe and wild duck. BY
this time he may be ready for his des-
sert, and for that he may choose from
all kinds of fruits, jellies, marmalades,
or English plum pudding. The last not
only comes in cans, but is even accom-
panied by the necessary sauce. Other
things that are canned and may be
made to fit here and there in dinner
are Holsters, chicken and shrimp salads,
sardines and deviled crabs, that are ne
only canned but are sold with the &C
comparing crab-shells, so that the
deviled crab may be served just as
though it had been picked out and es-
pecially prepared for the occasion.
In addition to this list there are to be
found in cans and ready for consump-
ton Goldfish balls, green turtle, herring,

as it formerly required a great deal o
trouble to open tin can of any sort
this difficulty has been overcome by ;
simple though curious device Arounc
the can is soldered strip of tin, one enc
of which may be fitted in key; by
turning this key the soldered rim il
twisted off without the least trouble anC
, the can is opened for use. Many people
I may not like tin-can dinner. but thos'
who eat such a dinner, either from
choice or necessity, certainly can no
| complain of the variety or quantity o
the food at their service.-N. !. Times
