HOW TO MAKE PoTPIe.
A Dish That Is Inexpensive and Very
palatable,


For preparing perfectly light, ten.
der, savory potpie, either veal, chicken
or young lamb is generally selected.
Veal makes an ideal potpie, and is
more familiar, perhaps, than anything
else in this method. The cheaper por.
tons of the veal, especially the neck
piece and parts of the shoulder, are
generally chosen. Free the meat from
fat and cut it in uniform chunks about
two inches square Dredge it with
-four and season it with salt and pep
per. Brown it down in pot with a
tablespoonful of butter. Turn it
repeatedly while it is browning,
so that it will not burn. When it
is evenly Drowned add enough
boiling water to barely cover the meat,
and let it simmer down for an hour.
At the end of this time season the meat
again and prepare the paste For three
pounds of veal sift two cups of -four
into bowl with an even teaspoonful
of cream of tartar and half an even
teaspoonful of soda. Measure the
cream OF tartar a little more literally
than the soda 1t requires "judg-
ment," as old housekeepers say, to
make the delicate difference in meas
ure here indicated, but the result is al
ways better if trifle less than half
the amount of soda to the cream of
tartar is used. Add a teaspoonful of
sugar and half teaspoonful of salt,
and stir in just enough milk to
make batter as stiff as you can
stir it. Some flour requires more
moisture, SO no rule can be given for
this. If the chunks of meat project up
from the liquid in the pot so the pastry
will rest upon them and not become
water soaked before they are cooked,
it is time to drop the paste in. If there
is considerable liquid boil it down.
Put in the pastry. as quickly as pos
sible. 1t will nearly cover the stew.
One piece must on no account rest over
the other, so it is better to use wide
mouthed kettle. The inexpensive iron
pots known as Scotch broth pots are
excellent for cooking potpie. They
must have a tight cover, and this
cover must be put on the mo-
ment the pastry is put in the
| pot. 1t should be left on with
out lifting it for twelve minutes,
and the stew should boil rather
rapidly all the time. At the end of this
time the potpie can be dished up. Ar
range the pie crust or dumpling, which
ever name you chose to call it, in cir
Gle on the hot platter and place the
meat in the center. Add little more
boiling water to the gravy in the pot,
if it has boiled down to thick glace,
as it usually does Add tablespoon.
full of flour, and salt and pepper if nee.
essary. Pour this gravy over the meat
and serve it as soon as possible. Chick.
en- and lamb are made the same way.
If a hen or fowl over year old is used,
it may be necessary to cook it longer
than an hour to insure that melting
tenderness which is the characteristic
of the meat of a properly made potpie.

he could hear low and awful uncanny
laugh.
ooh, Lord!' cried Master Hilton.
"And would tell thee aught for thy
good!" continued the ghost
ESP speak on!'' said the minister,
quaking with horrible fear.
AYE" said the ghost "BuS, fot
thine own good, would tell thee it be
best not to look into my eyes, for the
sight might deprive thee of thy reason!"
"Oh Lordr' cried the poor man.
Therefore take heed, and bind thy
neckcloth about thine eyes, so that ]
may approach"
Tremblingly, and as fast as his be.
numbed fingers would permit, the
young minister obeyed, and no sooner
had he done SO, than he felt pair of
soft arms about his neck and the ghost
whispered
Master Hilton, thou art fool!'
Kill Inc not" he pleaded in an
guish.
"Hadst thou not a duty to perform,
it were best thou shouldst die" said
the ghost, and forthwith did sit down
upon the minister's lap and kissed him,
remarking, in awful tones, that such
was the custom among spirits.
"Speak-speak on!' commanded the
minister, and the ghost forthwith did
kiss him again.
Then did most strange and uncan-
ny feeling take possession of Master
Hilton, and although it was born of
exceeding fear, it was exceeding
pleasant, and he stammered awkward.
ly:
kind spirit, pray do not abstain
from the custom of ghosts if it be to
thy liking!"
And the ghost did laugh most grew
somely, but be it said that Master Hill
ton had taken heart, but did question
it most keenly, always after and ac-
cording to the manner of ghosts.
Then the spirit did command, in q
voice that was most dreadful, that to
free the manor from its presence, the
young minister must at once sue for
the hand of Mistress EtheL Trembling
with fear and other strange emotions,
the good minister promised and after
bidding him farewell, after the manner
of ghosts, the spirit glided into the
darkness of the hall and vanished.
That very next Sunday, in trem-
bling, choking and most uncertain
voice, did Master Hilton publish the
banns between himself and Mistress
Ethel Bently from the pulpit. And
the good parishioners did wonder
nightly how he had summoned up
such monstrous and sudden courage.
But Master Hilton saw naught but the
roguish eyes of Mistress Ethel peeping
at him from over the back of the high
pew, and did color and stammer and
lose the thread of his argument fully a
/, score of times.
The ghost was never seen again.

Bread and Cracker Crumbs.

The amateur cook is often puzzled by
apparently conflicting recipes in re-
gard to the use OF bread and cracker
crumbs. 1t is sim 10 rule to bear in
mind that bread crumbs should be used
for frying in deep lard and cracker
crumbs for dishes that are baked. The
reason for this ference is not
hard to remember ne shortening in
the crackers attracts grease, and they
should, therefore, ever be brought
into this conjunction The same prin-
ciple holds good wi batter made of
sour milk; one often reads recipes thus
compounded, but if one tries dropping
the material into hot fat, one win see
how it soaks up the grease. and what
