The Management's Menu for This
Week.
Nellie McHenry closed a very
successful two nights and matinee
at the Grand last night. The spark

piQuant attractiveness, and appears
trimming over with irrepressible
fun. Her support is superb. The
musical specialties alone are well
worth the admission price, and the
wing dancing of Donahue itself a
delight. Manager Webster is to be
congratulated upon the character
of his company, which is undoubt-
eddy one Of superior excellence, and
one which will always receive a
hearty welcome in San Antonio.
The sale Of seats for Yale's New

PICKLED VEGETABLES.
ONIONS, CABBAGE, BEETs, BEANS, AND OTHER
GOOD THINGS

The various vegetables which are picked during
the fall for Writer use are usually treated in the
same general manner. They may be conveniently
considered in a general article. In all cases the
raw vegetable is soaked for twenty-four hours in
a weak brine All those vegetables which are COM
monty used for pickles. with the possible exception
OF small cucumbers and martynias. will be found
in market in perfection and profusion. and at
their lowest price from September Is to October
10. 1t is better put off the picking as late as
convenient To avoid the damp, muggy weather
which sometimes prevails as late as the last Of
September. Small white onions are favorite
pickle with the good English housewife. Select
the tiny white button onions. about three-quarters
of an inch in diameter less. Peel them and
put them into a brine strong enough to bear up a
potato. Heat the brine boiling hot before you
pour IL over the onions Let the onions stand in
this brine for twenty-four hours. Rinse them
with little cold water and put them into bottles.
To every quart of the best cider vinegar add two
blades OF mace and half a dozen tiny Cayenne pep
pers. These are the small peppers which are usu-
ally bought in dried state at the drugstore.
though they are sometimes found fresh in mar
ket during picking season. They are not much
larger than peppercorns. but they are very
strong. Heat the vinegar boiling hot and pour 1t
over the onions Put sprg OF horse-radish root
in the mouth OF each bottle, and seal each one up
tight. If any mould appears on top. strain off the
vinegar and add fresh spiced vinegar, boiling hot.
Onions are vexing kind Of pickle which must
be- watched as they are liable TO mould. even
though every care is taken OF them.
Caulinower is another vegetable that makes an
excellent pickle. Lay the oaulihowers in a strong
brine for twenty-fOur hours. Then divide them
into fowcrcts Of uniform size. Put them into
sailed water adding half a cupful Of salt 10 every
two quarts OF water. and bring them slowly 10 the
boiling point. When this IL reached and before
the brine bois. lift ont the cauliiowers and pack
them in jars. Prepare -pced vinegar by adding
TO every three quarts Of vinegar an ounce or
mustard seed half an ounce Of whole mace and
tablespoonful OF grated nutmeg Let the spices
and vinegar boil together ten minutes, and pour
them boiling hot over the caunower. Fill up the
mouth OF each Jar to the brim with tablespoonful
Of melted butter or of sweet olive oil Cork up
each bottle while the contents are hot and tie two
layers OF cotton wadding over eacn cork Cover
the wadding with layer Of paper to prevent iis
being broken.
String beans-the tiny refugee bean which comes to
our markets for picking In the beginning OF Octo-
ber-Inakc an excellent pickle. String the beans
and put them In brine strong enough 10 bear up
"A potato. Let them stand in this brine for forty
eight hours. At the end OF this time drain the
beans Of brine. put them in fresh brine. much
