ABOUT SAUCES.
A French Cooks Treatise Upon His ChoseI
Art and Profession.

Art and Profession.
MAN has created the culinary art;
he does not eat like an animal, he
breakfasts, dimes and sups." With this
quotation the author of very serious
French treatise upon cooking begins
his book He is particularly eloquent
on the subject of sauces. Cooks re-
cognize four great sauces. he says.
'sThese are the foundations of all
others. They are Spanish, Veloute,
Bechanel and German. The Spanish
and Veloute were known in the seven
teenth century, and-were modified in
the eighteenth by the great masters
(coolss) and by Careme, the Raphael of
the kitchen.
ssThe Spanish is composed of juices
extracted from a mixture of ham, veal.
chicken and pheasant. Veloute is
similar, but is not colored. Bechamel
is Veloute to which cream has been
added, and the German sauce is Ve1oute
to which yolks of eggs have been
added"
After telling how to prepare these
the author discusses the Theory of
Sauces. Certain writer's, it seems,
have condemned the use of thiclxening
of Drowned butter and flour in meat
sauces. He contradicts them emphat-
ically, and quotes Careme, who says,
severely: S'Now, ask the writer's of
these ridiculous books in what respect
butter mixed with flour is corrosive
and incendiary? But of what conse-
quence are these ignorant men? Let
them blunder on; let them continue to
disgrace their profession.
'Sooner or later an enlightened prac-
titioner will arrive, one who will un-
veil the evil of charlatanism. He will
avenge science, and will cause them to
disappear from the face of the earth %

Under high license the city Of Philadel-
phia has saloons, or one saloon to every 1853
voters. It has one bakery for every 146
voters; one public school for every 1855
voters, and one church for every Ss1 voters.
The saloons, as 1t appears. outnumber the
schools and the churches together, and they
almost equal the bakeries Evangelist.
One saloon for every 1853 voters seems a

saloon to every 58 voters. 0ne-half of the

Their Good Works Praise Them
Within the Gates.
The circle of Kings Daughters in Middle
town is an organization that is doing a
areat-deal of good and not saying much
about it. It Isl made up of band of about
20 young girls who have weekly meeting.
generally on Saturday afternoon. And at
these meetings they arrange their work for
the week. They hold themselves ready to
help in whatever way they can whom-so-
ever they they find in need,
and there are very few with whom they
come in contact who do not need some
thing from these little sisters. 1t may be q
only word kindly spoken. a smile in pass
ing, cup of cold water, food, raminent. or
the rendering of whatever service they can,
-"In his name" Among other good works
they are doing plain sewing, and tired
mothers who are burdened with press of
other domestic duties, will find substantial
help by calling on the Kings Daughters.
The order is pnrely unsectarian, and no
one is too lowly or obscure to claim their
attention.
Any family that needs plain sewing done
and is not able to do it or pay for its being
done. can have it nicely done by letting the
Kings Daughters know it. Miss Lucy
Cochran is secretary of the circle, and ap-
plication should be made through her.
