WHEN MEAT IS BOILED.

If you 'are boiling meat remember
that it is impossible to make a rich
broth and obtain juicy, highly flaw
ored piece of meat at the same time.
If the meat is to be eaten, and not the
liquid, the cooking in water should be
as follows:
Plunge the cut at once into a gen
erous supply of boiling water, and
keep the water at the boiling point for
ten minutes. Meat boiled in this way
ia covered with coating which seals
the pores and prevents the nourishing
INGREDIENTS from escaping. If the
boiling is continued longer than ten
minutes the interior will become hard.
The temperature of the water, there
fore, should be allowed to cool to
about 1s0 degrees F., when the meat
can be cooked without becoming hard.
This method willrequire alongeI time,
but the meat will be tender and juicy
instead of tough and dry, as will be
the case when the water is kept boil
ing, or nearly boiling, during the en-
tire time of cooking.
= If you are boiling delicate fish, such
as salmon, cod or halibut, do not
plunge into boiling water, because it's
motion tends to break the fish into
small pieces. Fish should first be put
into water that is on the point OF
boiling. The water should be kept at
this temperature for few minutes,
and then allowed to .cool to about lSo
dsgrees F., as in the case of meats.
If you are boiling meat into soup
or broth, remember that the smaller
the pieces the longer the cooking, and
the hotter the water the richer will be
the broth and the poorer the remain
ing meat. Do not have the water
boiling when you begin. Let it be
cool when you put the meat in, and
allow it to become gradually hotter.
The longer the water is heated the
longer and more tasteless the meat be-
comes.-Washington Star.

Letters Cost a Dollar Apiece.

A we'll known patent attorney in
this city, who was in California IN the
early mining days, apropos the publi-
cation in the Post of the cost Of carry.
ing the mails on the Yukon, makes
some interesting statements about
similar service on the Pacific coast in
1S49-5O.
"We had to pay 81 for every letter
sent or received" he states, "besides
the Government postage. We were
in the mines, and had to send mes.
senger with an order for the postmas-
ter to deliver to him our mail at Sacra-
mento, distance of from seventy-ive
to 100 miles, according to the location
of the camps. Parties made business
of carrying the mail and had regular
routes around through the mining
camps.
SAT that time mail went by way OF
the isthmus, there being but one
steamer every three weeks. As re-
suit, at San Francisco and at Sacra-
mento, the two main Offices and supply
points for the State, there would be a
large crowd waiting every time mail
arrived. They finally adopted rule
among themselves requiring all to
form in line and take their turn, and
hundreds stood or laid in line day and
night to keep their places, sometimes
several days, before they could be
served, the line being formed days be.
fore the steamer arrived. Resident
speculators would take positions in the
line, and when they had advanced near
the door would sell their places to
others from the mines. who were
waiting, frequently getting from sloo
to $500.
"Such a thing can hardly be be.
lieved ,by those who have never had
any such experience; but in the fall
of 1S49 an ox.team driver got $40 per
day and board. Sundays being counted
the same as other days, while carpen-
ters got from an ounce (Sl6) to an
ounce and half per day, everything
else costing in proportion; and hence
the mail carriers for the mines could
better afford to pay for the position
in line than to wait on expense and
lose the time, they sometimes being
kept waiting for week before they
could get ali their mail for the several
camps.
Zone of the curious sights was the
sale of the New York papers. AS soon
as the steamer arrived a man or boy
with lot of papers would rush ashore,
mount a box, and just as fast as he
could hand out the papers and make
change, dispose of them for a dollar
apiece. Of course IN time all this
changed, but communication with the
States was then so slow and the time
required 80 great, that to us, isolated
as we were from home and friends and
the whole outside world, it seemed al
most'an eternity. ."-Washington Post.

Cheese Making In Switzerland.

In Switzerland the making of cheese
is not left to hazard and to the whim
or ignorance of the peasant. Not only
! is its consumption very large, but the
.exportation of cheese from the little
Republic last year amounted to $ll,-
600, 900. For these reasons the Gov
ernment takes a psternal interest in
the industry and to this end has es-
tablished cantonal schools, the pupils
of which are taught the theory and
the practice of cheese making by emil
nent professors. The course is twelve
months, and the curriculum includes
hygiene, physics, chemistry, pastur-
age, manufacture and accounts. Not
content with this, the Federal Gov
eminent sends young men abroad to
study, and at present forty students
are in Italy investigating the methods
of the production of the,famous Psuns-
can and Modens cheese of that coun-
try.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Watch With q History.

The watch of Lord Lovst, the last
victim of the e1ecutioner's axe in Eng
land, which has been discovered in the
ruins of an old house in Newton street,
Holborn, notorious at one time as the
abode of criminals of the worst type,
has had an eventful history; but the
prevailing opinion that it has been
lost since the lifetime of its original
owner seems far from correct. Ac.
cording to correspondent, who writes
to us on this subject, it has been in
the possession of private individuals
until a comparatively recent period,
and he gives the following interesting
facts concerning it's history: Some
thirty-fve years ago the watch was in
the possession of distant relative of
Lord Lovat, it having been handed
down from generation to generation
for over 100 years. At that time, how
ever, the then owner of the watch was
in temporary pecuniary embarrass-
ment, and gave the valued relic, one
of number he possessed at the time,
as security for q small loan; but when
shortly afterward, on getting uneasy
at the watch getting out of his hands,
he managed to obtain the money to
redeem 1t, he was informed by the
gentleman in whose hands the watch
had been placed that it had been stolen
from him, aud that he had been en-
ti-ely unsuccessful in his endeavors to
discover it's whereabouts. The son of
the before mentioned gentleman, who
has in his possession at the present
time the cap in which Lord Lovat was
executed, as we'll as some seals and
other interesting relics of the famous
Jscobite, has recognized the watch as
the one at one time belonging to his
father, and is now in communication
with the manager of the Holborn Res
taurant, in the hope that he may re-
cover the relic, which is of such family
interest. Other claims have been
made besides the above, but on en-
tirely different grounds principally by
claimants of Lord Lovst's estate

NEW Use FOR CURRY POWDER.

Those who like the flavor Of curry
powder will find that it combines
pleasantly with salmon. If necessary
to use the canned fish, buy only the
best brand to be had, open the con-
tents of the can into a dish, remove
skin and bones, and divide into good
sized flakes with fork. When ready
to cook, mince a small onion and
brown it IN Tablespoonful OF good
salad oil. Then add level teaspoon
full of curry powder mixed with a
rounded tablespoonful of -four, and
mix until you have perfectly smooth
mass. Thin with three-fourths OF a
pint OF boiling water added gradually.

TO CLEAN MARBLE.

An excellent way to clean marble IS
as follows: Sift together two parts OF
common soda and one OF powdered
chalk, mix them with water to soft
paste, spread it over the marble to be
cleaned and let it remain for few
hours or over night, if necessary.
Wash it off with soft soap and luke
warm water. and dry with soft rag.
Or make a mixture, about the thick
ness of cream, of strong soap lees and
quicklime, lay it over the marble for
at least twelve hours, and wash of as
above. If the stains resist these rem
edies let the stone or marble msso"
see them.
