BREAKFAST LORE.
Ladies Taught How to Cook Cereals,
Tens and Coflees.

How to cook cereals, teas and coffees
was fully demonstrated yesterday at the
cooking school which meets at the st.
Andrews rooms on Grand street, near
the Junction. Miss McNaughton spoke
of all cereals, n told many interesting
facts about them, n illustrated her
remarks by cooking both oatmeal n
rice.
Miss McNaughton said all cereals
should be cooked in a double boiler, as it
was then unnecessary to stir them, and
their form and much of the flavor other
wise lost would be retained. If cooked
in a double boiler cereals would need
about three hours. but if a saucepan
We're used they would be cooked in half
an hour. Cereals burn easily if cooked
in a saucepan, and should in that case
be stirred constantly, or rather lifted
with a fork. When prepared oatmeal
is used it is necessary to cook It half an
hour. With almost all cereals the pro-
portion of the water to the cereal should
be three to one.
When preparing the rice for cooking,
Miss McNaughton picked out the black
specks, and instead of washing the rice
rubbed it in a towel and then dropped
the rice into the boiling water from a
height of one foot. In cooking the tea
and coffee Miss McNaughton did some
thing which she said should neve be
done, but which she was compelled to
do because of the cooking apparatus
cook both tea and coffee in tins She
said earthen or agate pots should be
used for both tea and coffee.
IF a small amount Of tea jS To he made
a ~teaspoonfull should be used for each
cup, but if a large quantity is made
the proportion is not so great. The water
should be boiling when put on the tea
| leaves, and the tea should then be al
lowed to steep ten minutes if it is Hy-
son, English breakfast or Japan tea, but
il a more delicate tea. such as Oolong,
it should be allowed to steep fifteen
minutes.
The making of coffee is more com
pick. A tablespoonful should be used for
each cup, and the beaten white, yolk
and shell of an egg should be mixed
poured on and the spout of the coffee
pot stopped, for the aroma of the coffee
is what makes it delicious and much oft
is lost when the spout is open.
Miss McNaughton said she allowed
coffee to boil five minutes; but some of
| the members remarked that it should boil
ten minutes. and others that it should
| just come to a boil. However,, Miss Nc
Naughten's way is backed by science,
so it is probably the best. The top OF
the coffee pot should remain shut, #
possible, while the coffee boils. Water
Should be added to neither tea nor
coffee after once cooked.
The lesson next week will be about gigs
and the numerous ways OF cooking
| them. Miss McNaughton did not give
as long a lecture as usual, for she lives
in Brooklyn and started early in order
to get home.

NEWSPAPER ENGLISH.

There are two kinds of English in use,
the book English and the newspaper En-
glish, and certain purists in style are al
ways trying to contrast the one with the
other to the disadvantage of the news
paper.
But, as a matter of fast, a large num-
Der of men who do the best newspaper
writing to-day are also writer's of books,
and the style used for the newspaper is
for the most part the same style which
appears IN the book.
The persons who do the best work On
the daily press, whether men or women,
are now educated persons, and a large
proportion of them represent the most
cultured and highly educated persons in
The advent Of this class to the news
papers has greatly changed their charac-
ter.
The editorials, the special articles and
the reportorial work of these persons are
many trades higher han they used to be
and the carefully edited newspaper of to-
day is, generally speaking, as good an
Illustration of pointed, terse, and vigor-
Gus style as can be found anywhere.
What was true of the newspapers
twenty-five years ago is not true to-day,
and, perhaps, there is no field which now
.absorbs the gifts of our best writers to a
greater extent than the daily press
Boston Herald.

A FEW BITTER BILLS.
TIr. Daly's Building and Loan Meas
ure Is Narrow and Foolish, However.

SrfcfGtf0 tfS .fFffeH tatU 4sclre.
TRENTON, Jan. %, 1884 number of
bills were introduced in both Houses
yesterday.
Senator DAILY introduced a measure in
the Senate which will interest all Build
ing and Loan associations. It provides that
no association shall fix a premium below
which money cannot be borrowed; that
no money shall be loaned out of the
State or on any other property than
houses. This, Mr.. Daily says, is for the
purpose of doing away with many of the
evils which grow UP in Building and Loan
associations. 1t prevents the foreign as
sociations from coming into this State
and taking the money secured here into
other States. 1t also allows a man to
borrow money to build a home without
paying a premium for it which is usuri-
Gus and oppressive. He also claims that
the clause limiting the loans to homes
does away with a great abuse.
MIR. Cagney introduced a bill in the
House providing for public parks in Hud-
son county, It is similar TO the former
upon which the Supreme Court declared
the law unconstitutional.
Mr.. Robertson introduced a measure
which will permit Hoboken n other
| second class cities to refund their in
debtedness.
Among the other measures were:-

OATAGGIO-
New York and Hoboken Families
DoubIy United.


Mr.. Michael A. Cataggio of New York
was yesterday afternoon united in we'd
lock to Miss Pauline Arata, a teacher in
Public School No. 6 of Hoboken. and a
daughter of ex-School Trustee Arata of
that city. by the Rev. Father Mazetti,
in st. Francis R. C. Church, Hoboken.
The best man was Mr.. Kallibeck Of New
York, the maid of honor Miss Adeline
Arata, a sister of the bride, and the
bridesmaid was Miss Julia Ouirolo. Fol-
lowing the ceremony the happy couple
adjourned to the home of the brides
parents, No. 1882 Garden street, where
a reception was given for the relatives
and immediate friends.
At eleven O'Clock last night Mr.. and
Mrs. Cataggio left for an extended trip
through the South. They will visit as
far as Jacksonville, Florida, taking in
all the principal points of interest on
their way. When they return they Will
reside at No. 8 Charleton street, New
York.
On Tune II, 1894, Vincent Cataggio, a
brother of the groom, married Miss Rose
Arata, a sister of the bride. They were
to have had a doubl wedding, but sick
ness prevented yesterdays bride from
becoming one at that time.

The Drake Water Bill.

Now there is another water bill, and
anyone who has studied the subject will
have no trouble in seeing that, like all
the others. it emanates from the brain
of Mr.. Lebbeus B. Ward. This bill is
apparently much simpler than the i'm
possible Bradley measure. 1t has no I'M
constitutional financial feature and it
clothe the State Commission with much
more limited sovereignty over the pot
able waters of the State. The r%eferen-
dun clause which it contains will be
approved by many persons, though in
fact such submissions of intricate ques-
lions to popular vote are of very doubt
full expediency. The bill, however, is on
the whole. a good one.
There is a fatal drawback to it, how
ever. 1t is a mere detail, but we fear it
is final. The bill cannot pass. There is
not public spirit enough in this Legisla-
ture to pass the old bill to prevent the
diversion of water into New York. The
Drake bill and the Bradley bill will both
meet the same fate. They will die in
committee, or at best IN the order of
second reading. There is no more chance
for them to pass than there is for the
defeat of General Sewell for Senator at
the joint convention tomorrow.

The Brooklyn car strike is another of
those lamentable displays of insanity,
where the men start out with all the
right on their side and the ~sympathies
of the public with them; but where, by
violence and riot they place themselves
wholly in the wrong and draw pom
themselves the stern condemnation of
every peaceful citizen.
Whatever may be done for the men
later on, by legislation or otherwise,
they must be taught first of all that law
and order are supreme in this land. The
lesson should be made a severe one. If
necessary, it must be enforced with mus
ket and bayonet, though Heaven grant
that awful need may be averted. But
when quiet is restored the law should
not rest. Every ringleader and every
perpetrator of acts injurious to person or
property should be vigorously prose
cuted.
The lesson is a severe one to the COM
panies, too. Their losses must be al
ready so great that they would have paid
the men about all the additional compen-
sation they asked And the end is not
yet.
THE Brooklyn Aldermen seem to be a
gang of reckless demagogues.

SPEAKING of the new silver party.
here's what Genl. Standish, late At
torney General of North Dakota, says:
The Populists of North Dakota will,
en- masse, 60 over to the new silver party
The Populists controlled at the last elec-
ton a little over 1000, 900 votes. The
silver party will sweep the west. not only
the silver producing States, but the agri-
cultural west, including such States as
Minnesota. The question before the
people is finance and one of the old
parties must take the side of gold. Every
Populist paper of North Dakota that
know anything of. except it be the Da-
kotan. published at Fargo, will from this
time forth carry the banner of the new
silver party and fight the single issue of
silver"
Just so! just so! That's what the
Greenbackers did when they went
into the Populist craze. But where
is the Greenback party now? And
where will the Populist party be in
the next election. Garry it farther
what's the new name that will swallow
the silver party? Oh these chamele.

Northwest News: The investigat-
ion into the Barnes county school
bonds which are said to be illegal and
void was instigated by F. w. Csthro,
in hopes that something could be
found to stick to the late board of
University and school lands. When
the committee found that these 81, 900
of void bonds were bought when
Cathro was acting secretary of the
board and that an actual premium of
$500 and deferred interest we're paid
on them the investigation was
dropped like hot poker. |.
For shame, Bierley! The matter
alluded to above is out of date-a
back number-and should be dropped.
When you can come at US with proof
of actual fraud, do SO, but until then
it is unbecoming to throw out such
insinuations.
