Boiling Meats.

Boiling is branch of culinary art
that is understood by comparatively few
cooks, although it is generally supposed
to be the most simple form of cookery
known. 1t is fact that in kitchens
where the cook understands her business
actual boiling as applied to meat very
rarely occurs, excepting for a few minutes
at time, and then at the beginning of
cooking. When these few minutes are
over the aim of the experienced cook is
to keep meats that are to be boiled from
boiling and to let them simmer until
done, for as surely rs the meat EoiIs it
will be spoiled. A good rule for boiling
is the following: Fresh meat, fresh poul-
try, fresh fish, all alike, should be
plunged into as much boiling water as
will cover them. Boil quickly there for
four minutes in the case of meat, one
minute in the case of fish; then draw
the kettle back, add a little cold water
to reduce the heat, and keep it covered
and let the contents simmer only until
done.
The quick boiling "sets" the surface
of the meat, which keeps in the flavor
and goodness, while the inner portion is
gently cooked until done; this is all the
boiling" needed. When really boiled
fresh meat is tough and favorless, SO
that to boil" meat successfully itshould
not be boiled. That fresh meat should
invaria bly, be put into boiling water. and
salt meat into cold is another rule worth
remem bering. Salt should always be
added to the water for fresh meats. In
the case of fresh green vegetables quick
boiling in plenty of sailed water is nee
essary to preserve their color, aud the lid
should be left off the saucepan. Peas,
asparagus, cauliflowers and new potatoes
should, however, he gently boiled. N .

Silver Plate.

Many excellent housewives commit
the mistake of rubbing their silver to n
premature condition of shabbiness by an
over use of patent polishing powders.
But of course there are other powders
which may be relied upon. Beware of
powders that contain quicksilver, which
is said SO far to penetrate and render
silver brittle that it will even break
with a fall Whiting properly purified
and applied wet is one of the easiest,
safest and certainly the cheapest of all
plate powders. Jewellers and silve,s smiths
seldom use anything else for small arti-
Giles. The ordinary method of cleaning
plate is first to wash it well with soap
and warm water; when perfectly dry
mix together little whiting and sweet
OIL so as to make a soft paste; then take
a piece of flannel, rub it on the plate
then rub it with a chamois and plenty
of dry whiting and clean off again, Civ
ing final polish with clean chamois and
brush. The actual manner in which
silevrsmiths clean their plate and pro
duce the beautiful polish so much adj
mired Is by the application of rouge
powder. This is applied after the first
cleansing has been done by the whiting
process. The rouge powder is mixed
with water to about the thickness OF
cream and applied with piece of leather
This with little rubbing will produce
an admirable polish. IN. f. Farmer.
The Millinery Bird.
Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller, whose bird
lore equals her bird love, refutes an as
sertion recently made by a London paper
that the majority Of the feathers and
birds worn by women were made from
poultry feathers legitimately got from
fowl killed for food. Mrs. Miller says:
"Women would, of course, be glad to
believe TIL the feather decoration they
desire to wear on their hats had n5
other origin than the ducks, partridges,
etc., that have been eaten. But 10 lime

WHY 1T IS PROHIBITED.

But neither the suffer1ngs of the poor
brute nor his nisera BILE end are either pri-
1narilT or mainly responsible for the pIohi-

here described. The protection of the race
horse from pain and suffering is today little
thought OF by the average owner or trainer
save where it means so many more dollars
with which to line his pocket. But again.
this question arises: If giving the horse the
dope, or the injection, is done to increase
his chance of victory. and if the practice is
not prohibited because Of its cruelty, why
is it prohibited and punished?

FARMERS ALLIANCE PLATFORM.
Several Changes Made in the OcaIa
Set of Principles.

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. S-The Supreme
Council of the National Alliance listened
to the annual address of the president at
the morning session to-day. 1t was platform
day, and the report of the committee in
charge thereof recommended some changes
which brought on an earnest and lively dis
cussion. A number of delegates favored
reaffirmation of the Ocala platform but a
larger number indorsed the committee re-
port, and some changes Were made. The
transportation plank, demanding the gov
ernment ownership and control of the. rail-
roads, is modified as to demand that the
government shall own and operate just
enough of the competing railroad lines of
the country TO effectually give the govern
ment full control of the regulation of pas
senger fares and freight rates. The demand
for election of United States Senator'S by
direct vote or the people is changed SO as
to demand that each State shall he divided
into two districts & OF nearly equal voting
elected from each by direct vote of the
people of the district.
Finance was subject of considerable dis
cussion. and resulted in the adoption of
lengthy preamble and resolution. The pre-
amble sets forth that in a land of bound
with heavens bounties, the wall of dis
tress fills the land; that the lives and in
as pledge to the pawnshops of Europe to
obtain money, while bankruptcy holds high
carnival; railways go into the hands of re-
Ceivers merchants and manufacturers break
down; people are despoiled of their homes;
labor is condemned to idleness, and starva-
ton is undermining morals and civilization.
The resolution declares that, while stand
ing firmly by all our Alliance demands we
recognize that no other reform is possible
until the destructive policy of contracting
our money volume is overthrown, and the
banks of the country be forced to retire
from government business; that, having at
last forced the financial question to the
'front.' we will fearlessly meet the issue, and
serve notice on the country that we will
never rest until the people shall rule, in
stead of the dollar, and pronounced Amer
lean financial system is established.
The proposed funding of the Pacific rail-
road debt to the government was condemned.

This is, of course, Streruously denied at the

night several Cabinet officers said that moth

ing. 1t was also emphasized at the treasury
again and again that Mr.. Carlisle would
under all circumstances, insist on inviting
proposals for the bonds and that the highest
interest he would consent to pay was 33s
per cent. Mr.. Cleveland's message states
that the whole issue of nearly sixty-five
millions has been given to one syndicate,
consisting of MIR. Morgan, who represents
the Morgans in this country, and Mr.. Bel
mont, who repr esents the Rothschilds. 1t
