SWIMMING IN COOKING.
An Important Nicely Which All Cooks DO
Not Practice.

There is an art in Swimming as in
most other things, to skim milk so that
no portion of cream remains on the
spoon, to remove fat from the surface
of soup or gravy SO that not particle
is left to annoy fastidious taste, to
remove the scum from broth just at
the right time, ere what is thrown up
at first has been drawn down again by
the boiling liquor, and to be mindful
to skim off the frothy scum which
rises on the first boiling up of vegeta-
bles and potatoes-these are points in
the true art of cookery which are apt
to be too lightly regarded by the ordi-
nary domestic
Who has not experienced a feeling of
revolt on seeing a crust of rapidly taking
fat form on the spoon which is lifted
from the gravy, or-still more unen-
durable-little globules of grease on
the surface of the invalid cup of beef
tea?
Many cooks argue that If soup is al
lowed to get cold and the fat of it re-
moved when solid there cannot posi-
bly be any further cause for fear. This
is a great mistake; as soon as that soup
is allowed to boil again it will throw
up more fat, perhaps quite as much as
before.
stock which has been made from the
liouor in which ham or bacon has been
boiled. or from meat which has much
gristle about it. like calves feet, will
be found to throw up fat as long as it
is on the fire.
The only way to get rid OF this is 70
skim patiently and thoroughly, keep
inc the liquor simmering, until ready
to pour into the tureen. then TO take a
piece OF clean blotting paper, and,
holding it edgewise, to carefully abb
sorb ali remaining particles OFF the sur
face.
Soup which has been thickened with
butter rolled in -four presents the same
troublesome features and can only be
dealt with in the same manner.
For clearing away all grease from
small quantities of gravy or beef tea,
where by skimming one is apt to risk
losing part of the liquor, there is moth
ing better thsn clean white blotting
paper.
Some cooks boast of having what
they call knack of blowing grease
off the stock. The method may be in
penious. but it is far from clearly, and
most people will agree that it is very
objectionable.
The first scum which rises TO the sur
face of boiling broth or vegetables con-
tains all the Objectionable particles
which all our care in previous clean
ings could not have discovered. If this
is not removed it is speedily drawn in
again, and no after efforts will suffice
to clear the liquor. Woman.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
A WISE PHYSICIAN.

Drunkenness.

He Presented Very Simple Cure for
Drunkenness.
A leading London physician recently
related the following experience. He
said: Il was in my Office one day some
years ago when a man entered who
was written from head to foot with the
record of a ruined life. That he was
drunkard was proved by his looks,
his breath, his hating step and his
open confession. He told me he had
tried many methods of improvement
but all had failed, and he came to see
me as last resource. | was obliged to
leave few minutes after his arrival to
meet an important engagement His
case seemed so utterly hopeless that
felt all the usual remedies would prove
abortive, and simply left him with the
words, You can lie: liquor alone if you
like. l do. l never drink About a
year later man came to my office up
right, reputable looking in face, figure
and attire; he described the ragamutfin
of whom have just spoken, and asked
if remembered such a visitor, which
was enabled to do because never in
the course of my practice had a
specimen of humanity so wretched
and woebesone enter my door.
The man then took from his
pocket photograph and handed
it to me and said: DO you recog-
nize the person | have described?'
l said, 4 think it is this very man here
in the photograph Yes replied my

credulity to the utmost, but he went
on to say that when | left him he
walked along the street murmuring to
himself, That doctor does without
liquor; he says I can let it alone if
like and he ought to know This was
CLEAN of hope, and he decided he
would pass the next public house, n
thing he had not done in years. He
went by saying to himself, 4 can let it
alone if like In this way he went on
passing many houses until he became
quite sober and succeeded in getting a
little job of work; he took siXpence of
the shilling he earned in this way and
had his photograph taken by travel
ing photographer From that day he
went on, not from bad to worse, but
from good to better. A voice kept say
ing to him, You can let it alone if you
like, the doctor does And he was now
a sober, industrious, and successful
man of business. Il do not know said
the doctor, with smile, closing his
story, that anything in my life has
ever given me more genuine satisfac-
ton than this incident. Union Sig
