HINTS FOR THE KITCHEN.

NEVER put salt on steak until after 1t Is cooked.
 THE lid of saucepan should never be raised over smoky fire.
 BEFORE broiling fish rub the gridiron with piece of fat to prevent it's stick ing.
 THE earthly taste often found in fresh water fish can be removed by.soal1ing in salt and water.

 MT. Bowser descended to the cellar, where he found four screen doors of different sizes. He selected one he thought would fit and carried 1t up It was six inches too high. The next was four inches too short. The third was almost long enough to make two such doors as he wanted. He had the fourth one, which was almost fit, in the back yard, when Mrs. Rowser came out to say:
 ''If you had first measured the open- ing and then measured your doors, you wouldn't have had to lug up but this one."

The store No 93 Bank street (now 115) which I have occupied for the past six years being too limited to accommodate the steady increase of trade, necessitated more connections quarters, consequently I have leased for term of years the store directly in the rear (Meigs' new block) and running to South Main street, and have just completed an addition connecting the two stores. making it one continuous room extending from Bank to South Main street. with an entrance on both streets.
 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England, and will be used exclusive Y as Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively i'm proved and will be occupied as a Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- partment attractive and roomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now overfowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De- sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in ducement for those who desire a Fancy Shirt for spring l am offering Cluett & Coon's Crown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for $1. 50 at 95cents.

CAN "me too" Platt, the New York republican boss, whose favor MT Harri- son Aas secured by the appointment of J. Sloat Fassett to be collector of the port of New York, save the Harrison vessel from being overwhelmed by the Blaine tidal wave which is now rushing upon the seemingly doomed craft? It is an interesting problem to those in terested in the result. It is not believed that MT Harrison will give up without making desperate fight and if MT Platt can control the New York delega- tion for him his friendship is well worth cultIvating. A gentleman figuring up the votes that Harrison can control puts it this way: "He can have the solid del egations of all the southern states, un- less somebody is disposed to put up money to buy their votes; he can get the solid Indiana delegation through his control of the machine in that state; ex- Senator Spooner, Senator Sawyer and Secretary Rusk are relied upon to con- trol the Wisconsin delegation for him. Secretary Foster can certainly divide if he cannot control the Ohio delegation; Vermont is already pledged to him through Secretary Proctor, and if he can get the New York delegation he will start out with strength not to be despised."

COMMISSIONER MARTIN has outlived his usefulness as a member of the police board. He has disgraced himself and the city and should be given back seat as soon as his term of office expires. At Tuesday nights meeting of the board the commissioner showed to what ex- tremes man may go when crossed in his purpose. In the matter of appoint ing a successor to Detective Dodds the democratic members of the board held the winning hand and Martin was fully aware of the fact Seeing the helpless ness of his side the commissioner opened the vials of his wrath upon Officer Mo Mfr, who, he declared, was a fit candi- date for fanatic asylum. This IS not all the commissioner said, but it is enough to show that he acted more like blackguard than gentleman and a city official. He clustered away until the supply of adjectives at his command was exhausted, using personal abuse instead of argument. It was a most dis gusting exhibition, in striking contrast to which the actions of the democratic commissioners stand out in bold relief.

HENRY w. FRENCH has been knocked out in one short round by the finance committee, his bill of 800, for alleged services, having been rejected last night. Mir French, like Banquo's ghost, refuses to down. No matter how often his wings are clipped he jumps for high roost; recently, however, he has not been very successful in catching on. Many months ago MT French was appointed by the road board to look around and see who had failed to com ply with orders in relation to laying sidewalks. It was understood that he would do the work without remunera- tion. Some time since he presented a bill for $60 for work he claimed to have done. Inasmuch as he was at that time drawing a salary of $150 month as bad debt collector, the bill was repudiated by the board. Then the last named office was abolished and after waiting a reasonable length of time MT French tackled $50 to the original bill and again brought the matter before the road board with the result that the bill was approved, only Mir Coughlan objecting to its passage. Last night the bill reached the board of finance, but was not signed. If MT French is wise he will let the matter drop right where it is.
