THE ART OF CARVING.

Hints for Women Anxious to Excel In This
Masculine Accomplishment.
In these revolutionary days, when
women are usurping most of mems
privileges and prerogatives, and are
having thrust upon them so many of
mems burdens, it is eminently fitting
and proper that they should consider
the question of carving seriously. Not
very many families dine in Russian
fashion from the sideboard with the aid
of dignifled butter. In most house
holds some one has to carve, before the
eyes of the assembled diners, and it be-
hooves women that they should be able
toperform the little rite with grace and
skill. If they succeed in doing this
they will do more than their lords and
masters have often succeeded in doing.
A good knife of moderate size and
sharpness is a necessity. The platter
should be placed near enough to the
carver to give her control of it. In
roast pieces, such as loins, breast, fore
quarters and the like, the butcher
should have been instructed to separate
the joints so that carving may not be
impossible. In carving beef, mutton,
lamb and veal, thin, smooth, neat slices
are desirable. They should always be
cut across the grain, taking care to
pass the knife through to the bones of
the meat.
In carving leg of mutton the best
slices are obtained from the center and
the next best from the broad end. The
pieces from the part next the knucxle
are apt to be dry. A sirloin of beef
yields it's best slices from the end near
the tenderloin. II it is cut through in
this part the pieces must be fairly
thick; if long, thin slices are desired it
should be cut across
In carving turkey or chicken place
the head to the right, cut off the wing
nearest, then the leg, and then the
second joint; then slice the breast until
rounded piece appears. Insert the
knife between that and the bone and
separate them; this is considered the
best part Of the bird. Next comes the
''merry-thought. After this turn over
the bird little and just below the
breast will be found the oyster"
which can be separated as the inner
breast can be. The side bone lies be-
side the rump, and the morsel can be
taken out without separating the whole
bone. Proceed in the same way with
the other side.-N. Y. World.

WOMAN AND HOME.
BOSTON BAKED BEANS.

Best Food on Earth When Properly Pre-
pared-ImpossIbie to Get the Genuine
Article Outside of the Hub. But Here IL
q Recipe as Used by Down East House,
wives.
A story is related in connection with
baked beans which, although it has
never been proved to be true, is
strong testimonial in favor of the dish.
It is to the effect that Bostonian de-
lnyed for weeks in New York on bust
ness wearily sought place after place in
search of his favorite dish. Invariably
he had served up to him the alleged
article, that was to him UNBEATABLE. Fin
ally he found 4 restaurant where he was
personally assured by waiter that he
could have the genuine article. When
the beans came they were of the stock
New York kind, and the Bostonian, in
O fit of anger, drew n revolver and shot
the waiter in the arm.
He was arraigncd before justice who
once lived in Boston, who, after he had
heard the facts in the case. discharged
the prisoner on the ground that he was
fully justified in shooting. No matter
AO" llit JuotiNN hdo Vi IA" III
at least knew beans"
Another story, which also tcstifies to
the value Of beans, is related of some
Gloucester fishermen. The crew of
coasting vessel spied fishing schooner
ut a little distance with the United
States flag flying from the masthead
union down, which is always signal
of distress. The schooner was not APP
parcntly disabled and all her rigging
was in ship-shapc order. But thinking
something serious had happened or at
least that the fishermen had run out of
water, the captain of the coaster sent n
boat to the schooner to ascertain the
trouble. When it nearcd the schooner
one of the men cried ont:
Whats the matter; do you need
water?"
NO, we've got plenty of water and
provisions" was the reply. but we
have been out of beans two wceks-we
want beans"
The reason why baked beans outside
of New England are so unlike the gen.
uine article is that they are not proper
ly cooked, and more especially because
they are not cooked in an old-fashioned
down-east bean pot. There are prob
ably no real bean pots on sale outside
of New England. They are all about
the same in appearance, and are made
of potter's clay. which is the material
flower pots are made of.
Anyone can have nice baked beans
If he secures bean pot and follows
these directions: First get your beans.
The large red kidney variety is largely
used, but the small, white pea bean is
more generally popular.
One quart of beans is sufficient when
cooked for two meals for an average
family. They should be soaked in cold
water for an hour or so. Then salt and
pepper should Ee added, together with
half a teaspoonful of mustard and half
n teacupful of molasses. The molasses
gives the beans delicious flavor, and,
ut the same time, it is not too pro-
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1895-03-01

nounced, nor is it possible to detect the
molasses. When the beans are in the
pot, half or three-quarters of a pound
of salt pork well streaked with lean
should be placed on top, and then
enough warm water poured into the pot
to Just cover the beans.
Beans should be baked in an oven OF
even temperature for either day or a
night, or. in other words, about twelve
hours. 1t Is better to bake them in the
daytime, for then they can receive
more attention. As the water gradually
evaporates more should be added from
time to time, but care should be taken
to keep the beans covered. This must
be done until the beans are nearly
ready to be taken out, when no more
water should be added, so that they will
not be so moist as to become mashed or
broken.
The pot can remain in the oven,
where it will SIMPLY keep hot for an in
definite time without injury. Beans
should be served in a covered dish.
Beans that have been left over are de-
licious warmed up in stewpan with a
little water added, and many bean cpl
cures think the more times beans are
wurmed over the better they are.
In number of New England towns
the local baker bakcs beans for half the
town. Saturday nights the pots. are
taken to the bake shops, where the
baker marks each one with the initials
of the owner and places them in his big
oven. Next morning the owners. call
for their beans and pay the charge Of
ten cents, and invest ten more in
brown bread. 1t is an amusing sight
on Sunday morning to see line of cit
liens going from the bal'e-shop to their
homes, each with a bean pot on one
arm and loaf of brown bread on the
other.
Good old-fashioncd brown bread is
the proper accompaniment for baked
beans, and it is as difficult to get the
genuine article in New York as it is to
find good baked beans. Here is a
famous recipe for Boston brown bread
of the proper kind: One cup rye or
graham flour, l cup of white flour, 9
cups Indian meal, 1 cup molasses
(scant), teaspoonfuls soda, q tea
spoonful salt, cup sour milk and IL
or "a cups water.
Steam for three hours and then dry
in the oven for half an hour. The
brown bread should be eaten warm and
what is left over can be either steamed
again or toasted-N. Y. World.

Facts Concerning the Depleted CondltIOa
OF the Treasury.

Of the Treasury
Secretary Carlisle has made some
what detailed reply to the senate reso.
luton Of inquiry touching the condb
ton of the treasury.
1t seems that thus administration has
used for current expenses no less than
sos, 002, 143, derived from the proceeds
of bond sales and from the depletion OF
the gold reserves This does not in,
clude the 1862, 172 of gold which has
been converted into notes by tho
process of redemption, and is still on
hand. In all previous statements by
the secretary himself, or by the presi,
dent, the whole tone and assumption
has been that the outflow of gold was
for redemption only. The president
talked about a comfortable surplus in
his recent special message. Either he
did not know what the real facts in tho
case were or he was trying to fool tho
people.
Elaborate as are the details given,
there is no explanation afforded of Mr..
Carlisle's prediction that the revenues

build his hopes on the income tax, OF
does he expect the stock of sugas
brought in under the Mckinley law To
be exhausted soon, and that then the
duties on that class of imports viii
swell the receipts from customs? How
ever that may be, the secretary fails
entirely to justify his optimistic view,
and still less to justify the presidents
claim that the government is deriving
more revenue than IS required for cur,
rent expenses. 1t is well that halt

Spoliation of the Treasury BY Debt-Creat-
Ing Democrats.

Now that the Cleveland administra-
ton is about to pass the hat again to

despoiled by revenue reform" legisla-
ton, it is interesting to recall the fact
that between 1865 and 1895 the inter-
est-bearing debt of the nation was re-
duced nearly $4,000, 100000. During
the same period over S1,7OO, 900, 900 was
paid out for pensions, besides several
billions for other government expenses.
What a contrast this magnificent
achievement is with the record of the
present debt-creating and disaster
