Cuts for Roasting.

IL Is sometimes a difficult matter for a
small family to find an economic piece of
Deer Tor roasting A rib roast is not to he
thought Of, unless it weighs from ten 10
Twelve pounds, or even more if il is cut
from heavy prime beef 1t is true one NAV
purchase a single rib and get a roast OF
smaller weight, but this gives so large a
cut surface from which the juices Of the
meat will flow and so thin a roast in Dro-
portion to its size that it is impossible TO
cook it properly and save the juices of the
meat
People very often purchase porterhouse
roast and pay the extra price now charged
Tor this cut in order TO secure a roast of
proper thickness, which may be served
rich and rare without perceptible loss of
the juices which are the stamina Of the
meat. There is no objection TO the porter
house roast, except that il is a very ex-
pensfve one, as it requires seven or eight
pounds to give proper thickness to this or
almost any roasting piece This leaves a
large amount Of meat which has cost too
much to be made over as il must be, into
rechaufTes
There are several other cuts which cost
considerably less and make a roast fully
as well favored and tender The ton of
the slrloin, which the butcher will usually
cut with but small portion OF the tough
end adherlng TO it, makes an excellent
roasting piece and costs five or six cents
less a pound than porterhouse roast. It
Is also an economical piece TO buy because
1t has very small percentage of bone. The
leg-o-mutton piece, which is cut out Of the
lore quarter, and the cross rib roast are cv-
cellent roasting pieces, which possess the
requisite thickness, ARE equally well fla
Vored and cost considerably less than a
porterhouse roast.-New York Tribune.

r. counsel for the plaintiff, a five dollar
note had been stolen The fact was proved
beyond question. The point at issue finally
was one of grand or petit larceny. The
counsel for the defendant made the iagen-
ious plea that the bill was an Indiana bill
and worth s4.95, and therefore was below
the limit Of petit larceny, five dollars being
that limit.
The jury seemed quite impressed by the
argument when the counsel for the plain
tiff arose and in the peculiar drawl and
nasal information characteristic Of his speech
said: Gentlemen of the jury, II any one of
you was TO take that Indiany five dollar
bill to market, there's not a butcher there
that would not be glad to take it at pa-a-ar.
II you was TO go TO any Of the stores on the
square here, they'd be willing and morc'n
