SWIMMING IN COOKING.
An Important Nicoty Which All Cooks ID
Not Practice.


There is an art in sliimming 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 a 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 feeling of
revolt on seeing 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's cup of beef
tea?
Many cooks argue that If soup is al
lowed 10 get cold and the fat of it re-
moved when solid there cannot posi-
blv be any further cause for fear. This
| is a great mistake;-a 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 il
| is on the fire.
The only way to get rid of this is tc
skim patiently and thoroughly, keep
ing the liquor simmering, until ready
| TO pour into the tureen, then to take !
piece of clean blotting paper, and
! holding it edgewise, to carefully alb
sorb all remaining particles off the sur

For clearing away all grease from

where by skimming one is apt TO risl

ling better than clean white blottinl
paper.
Some cooks boast of having wha
they call a knack of blowing greas,
off the stock. The method may be in
genious, but IL is far from cleanly, an,
most people will agree that it is very
objectionable.

revolver, which he leveled at Ruby's
breast.

cried, in a deep, gruff voice.
Help! helpp' shrieked Ruby.
The robber sprang to the window,
and began to climb through.
''Help!" cried Ruby again.
In another moment he would have
escaped Ruby sprang towards him,
and clasped her arms frantically round
him, while again and again she
screamed for help.
"Die, curse you," cried the ruffian,
dealing her terrible blow on her beau
tiful brow with his pistol butt, blow
that struck her senseless to the earth.

"Faith, I'll knock the brains out of yer,

| would have executed his threat upon
the burglar, for he hammered away
most energetically; but Ruby was re-
covering from the blow now.

american aud oriental Architecture.

Travellers in our southwest, and espe-
cially in Mexico, find a striking re-
semblance between the domestic archi-
lecture there and the same architect
ure in Palestine. There are old towns
in Texas, Arizona and California that
are so like such places as Bethlehem
and Bethany that if photographs OF
them were thus labelled not one OBJ
server in twenty would be the wiser
The low, fat-roofed houses of adobe,
with small, deep windows and doors,
the rude balconies and stairways in the
courts, the narrow, Uttered streets
without yards, the fountains, pools,
and palms in Enclosures Of houses OF
the better class even the occasional
low dome and slender tower are char
octeristic OF both countries. The
Spaniard got his architectural ideas
from the east, and the persistent sur-
vival of the type Of these models attn
several centuries is markedly obviouf
wherever he has built N. Y. Sun.
