Cooking Meats.
niptetic Gazette.

A general rule for cooking meats,
no difference how you cook them,
is that the cooking must begin with q
temperature of at least 212, degrees OF
the temperature of boiling water, il
you wish to produce tender product,
appetizing and digestible. This tenn
perature must be maintained for
about five minutes, after which it
should be lowered to about $50 degrees
or 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and left to
simmer until the meat is tender. 1t
makes no difference how long it takes
to produce this result. That is the
proper way to cook meats, and the
rule should govern the boiling, broil-
ing, or roasting processes. In roast
ing, broiling, or frying, we must bear
in mind that if the heat is too great
We will develop most unpleasant
flavor. If you raise the temperature
above $40 degrees the fat will be de-

Alarm where Snail. are Raised.

Over in Switzerland the people are
very fond of snails-almost as fond as
the American boy is of mince pie. II
long ago became impossible for even
sharp.eyed snail hunters to find all
the snails they could sell, and SO some
of the clever Swiss have started snail
farms. As you may imagine, they
are odd places, only few rods square
and divided into small parts, separated
by fances about two feet high, with
nails along the top to prevent the
snails from running away. Little
arbors of moss are provided for the
snails as shelter from the sun, fol-
snails do not like the sun. If there
is not lime or chalk in the earth oil
the farm, the farmer sprinkles il
about. Snails eat cabbage, salad
nettles and dandelion. They seem to
be most hungry after rain.
The harvest time for snails is the
latter part of August or the first oil
September. Then the snails are sorted
out. Those having round white
houses are considered fat and are the
most valuable. They are packed in
boxes containing soft hay for ship
ment, and they sell for high prices

GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.
A Retired BunkO Mans Idea OF the
Value of Regularity to the Pre-
fessiOnal Crook.
New York Sun.

An old-time crook stood on Broad
way corner, in the Tenderloin district
late one night recently, watching a
young policeman trying the store
doors. The policeman did the work
with great care and regularity.
"That's careful "copper"" the
crook volunteered, addressing a man
who was standing few feet away.
EYES," replied the other. "Evi-
IDENTIFY he wants to gain the good
opinion of his superiors."
The old-time crook laughed.
at would surprise you," he con-
tinued, wouldn't it, to hear that
that sort of a careful cop is a dead
easy mark for thieves?"
az don't see how" returned the
citizen.
Easy enough" retorted the crook.
ats your careful copper that can
be easily spotted The man who is
going to do job knows just where he
will be on his post at certain time
and can figure out just how long the
coast will be clear and the job can be
carried on. The careful cop goes at
his work just like clockwork. Now,

Boiling meat i far preferable to
frying it, either for the sick or the
well. The rule must here be followed
Of plunging the meat into boiling
water, allowing it to continue for
about five minutes, and then move
the vessel to the back of the stove
where the contents will simmer at the
temperature OF about lS5 degrees.

surface, and thus preserves intact the
middle portion of the meat.
