SlOcum ls now member of st. George

place in the country where better proyi-
sion is made for tennis playing on a large
scale than at Prospect Park, and there are
few days in spring or summer when con-
siderable number of games are not gong
on there simultaneously.
The frequency of vacant lots in the resi-

In New York lives the young woman who
is rather expected 70 win chief champion
ship honors this summer. This Is Miss
Mabel +. Cahill, of the New York Lawn
Tennis Club. Miss Cahill is an Irish
woman, and won fame in the old country
at tennis tournaments before coming to
this. She is vigorous, athletlc-looklng
young woman with merry laughing ewes
and quick, vigorous movements. The
present holder of the woman's cham;
pionship, Mrs. +. &. Roosevelt, will
not give up her supremacy with
out n struggle. Miss Roosevelt and her SIS
ter Grace also hold the championship for
doubles. Miss Cahill will probably play
IN doubles with Miss Ballantine, of the
New York club. Miss Robinson, OF staten

Important TO Housekeepers-How TO Boil
n Ham.
To he Editor Of The Dispatch:

~ btt IsiAtU " ttt ItHbtA-tFt"
There is no kind of meat that is more
universally used by Virginian's than bacon
hams; aud in the rural districts they thor
oughlv understand the mode of preparing
them for the table. But this Is frequently
not the case In cities.
| wish particularly to call attention to
the imperfect mode of cooking them in a
large majority of restaurants IN this city.
A rare, half-cooked ham is tough and diff
fcult of digestion, while one properly
cooked is tender and comparatively easy
of digestion and assimilation.
A large number of the best cooks and
housekeepers that / have known agree
that ham to be fit for food out TO be
boiled not less than half an hour for every
pound of its weight. But as a general
thing the rest1,vdie1rs only boil them for
from fifteen to twenty minutes. Having
had considerable experience Us a house
keeper in the country and as practitioner
of medicine, | assert most emphatlcally
that the average human stomach cannot
digest bacon ham thus cooked without
suffering from irritation, tiatulency, and
injury to the digestive organs generally
and If it be long continued 1t will result IN
dyspepsia or chronic indigestion.
/ would as soon think of swallowing a
piece of tainted meat of any kind as OF taking
into my stomach the fibre Of piece of
half-cooked ham. One well cooked Will,
of course. lose more in weight and size than
one half cooked. and this may be the cat
in the meal tub in many instances.
trust, Mr. Editor, that some OF your
readers at least may learn valuable les
son from the foregoing hints. M. ID.

Heat and Cold and Salt,

RICHMOND, VA, May %, 1891.
To ne Editor ofQts Dispatch.
How do you explain the fact that snn
which produces intense cold and is used
III making ice, is also used in hd,oinq or
melting zee or sHO1o? How does il blow both
hot and cold?
Yours very truly. GRO.
The principle Is the same in both cases.
Both are processes of tbawing and botL re-
suit in the production of cold. The at
traction of the salt for water causes the ice
to liquify-ice being merely solid water
and then the salt dissolves in the liquid
thus formed. In order for solid to be-
come liquid it must have heat and this
heat 1t takes from neighboring bodies.
these of course becoming cold by the
abstraction. In the mixture of salt and ice
two solids become liquid, and the abstrac-
ton of the needed heat (and consequently
the production of cold is great When
this mixture is used to freeze ice-cream
and the like the cold attending the melt
ing is utilized. In the other case the cold
Is not utilized, but it is there and can be
easily recognized by observation, and, in
fact, it is this which makes the use of salt
for melting ice on walkways Objectionable.
