An Aluminium Bicycle.

Of scales and the Indicator registers the
weight of the wheel as 13a pounds. This
is by far the ightest bicycle which has
been put on the market. and it marks
another step in the evolution OF
the old velocipede t. toward the per-
feet bicycle. 1t is made of alumni
ium, the metal which has so late
ly become quite general in its use.
The cost of the wheel is considerably
more than that of the steel ones now in
use. but after the novelty has worn off
the price will probably be reduced to
that of the high grade wheels of today.

A STEWED CHICKEN.

A chicken that has reached greater age
than year is better SteWed than cooked
by any other method. And stewed chicken,
when properly prepared, is always relished
and en- joyed. In the average country homo
chicken is oftcner served scwed than in any
other form, and Stewcd chicken is very com
m5l dish at hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses.
Yet chicken is rarely stewed as it should
be, And although numerous recipes are given
in cooobbookS for c0lling chickens in various
ways, L have not yet found one that gives the
correct method for StcWing a chicken.
This is the way in which chicken should
be SteWed
Cut it in pieces a suitable size for serving
before placing it in the pot. Separate the
thigh, leg and wing joints, divide the breast
into not less than four compact pieces and
separate the neck, back, etc.
Place the gizzard, heart, wings and drum
sticks in the bottom of the pot or kettle, then
put in the neck. back and other bony pieces,
reScrvng the second joints and breasts for
the top.
Use pint of boiling water for each full
grown fowl, cover closely, and after it has
stewcd q quarter of an hour add tablespoon
ful each of flour and butter stirred to ii
smooth paste with little water to each pint
OF liquid used in the stcwinG kettle.
Keep the kettle simmering increasingly
until the fowl is tender which can be aScer-
tanned by examining the pieces on top. If
these pieces are found to be sufficiently cooked
those beneath will be also, us in placing the

pieces in the pot or kettle those requiring the
greatest amount of cooking We're put at the
bottom they would be subjected to the
greatest heat.
When the fowl has stewed until perfectly
tender, drain into howl all the liquor or
broth from the stewing kettle and set the ket-
tie with the pieces of chicken undisturbed i'll

If the broth is too oily skim from it u portion

stirred to smooth paste with n spoonful or
sweet cream milk, and season sharply with
salt and pepper, this broth or gravy must
season the entire fowl. After seasoning the
gravy pour it over the chicken in the kettle
and simmer gently for about ten minutes,
then serve chicken and gravy together on the
same platter
A chicken year old will stew in an
hour, and each year added to the age of
fowl necesstates an additional hours stew
ing.
Pursuing essentially the same recipe, the
stew can be varied by adding oysters, mush-
rooms, trufilcs, celery, parsley, etc, or by
using less water and more cream or milk,
and also by browning the pieces of the
chicken in the skillet either before after
they are stewed BY these slight and seem
ingly unmportant variations plain stewed
chicken can be converted into chicken sauce,
chicken fricassee, chicken marcngo and
on until dozen or more different dishes
known by fanciful foreign names can be man
ufactured from one innocent chicken.

very pleasant surprise and seemed quite
n coincidence. The echo of my lament had
scarcely died away when there came to
me from that good friend, Mr.. Jackson, of

a basket containing dozen or more lovely
plants-a Gala just blooming, primroses-
white, pink and reI-all in bloom, and sew,

bright and beautiful they have made my
