The Lecture on Cooking.

The lecture before the Boston
Cooking school of March Sd included
materials which are found only in
city markets at this season.. and
which need well filled purse to buy,
but with care can be INDUCED in by
those of moderate means. HOLSTERS
are very high because they are SO
scarce. The lecture was full of good
points for the plainest cook. The
menu included
Lobster bisque, salmi of grouse,
Spanish sauce, stuffed peppers, to-
mato and horse radish salad, coffee
rolls, bahia.
1t is better, as rule, to buy two
moderate sized Holsters than very
large one which may be tough. TO
open a lobster, break off the claws
and snap the tail portion off from the
body. All the liver which will shake
out of the body is edible; pick out the
meat from the joints along the side
but discard the stomach, sometimes
called "the lady" and the intestinal
vein. Cut open the tail portion with
scissors, take out the meat, remove
meat from the claws.
For the bisque use the meat of a
two-pound lobster. Put the body
bones and tough meat at the ends of
the claws into two cups of cold water
and cook twenty minutes. Drain and
thicken the liquor with one-quarter
cup each of butter and flour cooked
together. Scald four cups of milk
with the meat of the tail chopped
fine. Strain and add to the liquor.
Season with salt and cayenne, then
add the tender claw meat cut in dice
and the body meat, and it is ready to
serve.
Lobster coral may be rubbed in a
mortar until fine, and a little flour
added. This put into the soup will
give it pink color.
The cold roast grouse was cut into
slices for serving, and then reheated il.
a sauce for which melt one quarter
cup of butter, add one tablespoonful
of onion, stalk of celery, two slices
of carrot and two tablespoonful of
lean raw ham, all to be chopped or
cut fine. Cook together until the but
ter is brown, then add one quarter
cup of -four, and when we'll Drowned
add two cups of consomme, a bit of
bay leaf, sprig of parsley blade of
mace, two cloves, one-half teaspoon
full of salt and an eighth of tea
spoonful of pepper. Cook five minutes.
Strain and add the grouse, some sher-
ry wine, stoned olives and mushrooms

Lenten Foods.

A very nice omelette can be made
by adding to six eggs four table
spoonfuls of shredded Goldfish.
While the oyster is certainly the
most delightful of lenten foods, we Of
slender purse or divergent tastes can
not live on it for forty days. Eggs
are still with us, and are good boiled,
scrambled, poached, shirred, and
made into omelettes Fresh fish can
be baked, boiled, broiled, and fried
and there are various kinds of salt
fish most appetizing for breakfast.

tablespoonful of flour; beat until
smooth, add half cup of milk, half
teaspoonful of salt. Cook two min
utes. Add beaten yollxs of three eggs
and one cup of grated cheese; cool;

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Keep an Account Book.

We would urge our housekeepers to
be systematic in their housekeeping
What could man do without his
books? AS an exchange says:
The new year is fast growing out Of
it's swaddling clothes, and yet it is
not so old that we should give up
forming those good resolutions which
are to help us along the road we must
travel hand in hand with our new
companion. If you do not keep an ex-
pense account already, begin one to-
day; especially if you are young
housekeeper, and want to economic.
Keep one weeks expenses Oh each
page of a small memorandum book
Don't buy an elaborate affair; a small
one which costs nickle is what yo1,
want. If you are able to spent fifty,
seventy-fve, or a hundred dollars d
month, see that you do not exceed
one-quarter of the amount in any
week. It is safe to come under the
sum because there are always extra
days in a month, and we must live on
those days.
Buy what you need, and not what
you want. There is nothing so indu-
Give to economy as record of our
past extravaganza. Committed to the
condemning page, the cost Of use
less piece of china or glass will lead
to wonders of economy unrealiZed be-
fore. If we can once grasp the TACT
that the cost of the barest necessities
will make large amount at the end
of the month, we will learn to buy
those alone; but it is very natural to
feel that we are expanding nothing
if our diet is confined to meat and
bread 1t is only when we have oys
tiers or ice-cream that one will expect
a bill. Above all things, save some
thing for a rainy day. Don't vie
with your neighbor in gorgeous
dressing if you have nothing in the
bank. A bank account will bring more
respect and esteem than all the 1ine
clothes in Gotham; and the good
sense that keeps a little ready money
will command more admiration than
the shallow brain which wishes to
see it's all reflected in the mirror.

Macaroni baked with cheese is
nourishing-in fact, cheese itself is
full of nutriment, and can be made
into many delightful dishes. The fol-
lowing one can be thoroughly recon-
mended as a delicious breakfast and
lunch dish.

Large green peppers are used for
stuffing; cut off the tops, take out the
seeds and cut off the stem so that the
pepper will stand firmly like cup.
Put them into boiling water and cook
for ten or fifteen minutes, or until
slightly soft. Drain well and fill. For
six peppers chop one onion and the
tops of two or three peppers fine; fry
in two level tablespoonful of butter
for three minutes. Add four table
spoonfuls each of finely chopped lean
ham and mushrooms and cook one
minute longer. Add one-third cup of
brown sauce and three tablespoonfuls
of bread crumbs; cool the mixture
Sprinkle the peppers with salt, stuff,
cover with buttered bread crumbs
and bake ten minutes. Serve OH
rounds of toast with brown gravy.
An attractive salad was made from
halves of tomatoes pared and chilled.
A tomato looks better when peeled
after being dropped into scalding wa
ter, but many cooks think this
changes it's flavor slightly. Arrange
the tomato halves on lettuce leaves
and serve with the following dress
ing: Mix three level tablespoonfuls
of freshly grated horse radish with
one tablespoonful of vinegar, one
quarter teaspoonful of salt and lit
tie cayenne; add four tablespoonfuls
cream beaten stiff.
For the rolls scald and cool one cup
of milk, add two cakes of yeast. one
quarter cup of egg yoll&s and one-half
cup of whole eggs. If the eggs are
good sized this will be three egg
yol>s and three whole eggs. Add also
two-thirds of cup of butter, one-half
cup of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of
lemon extract and four and two
thirds cups of flour. Beat thoroughly
and let rise six hours. Set away on
ice over night or for few hours. Put
on to board, roll out to about an
inch thick, cut in strips, twist by roll
ing and then shape by turning both
ends inward to the top. Let these
rise, then bake in a moderate oven.
This rule ought to make about two
dozen rolls. When they are taken
from the oven brush over with con-
fectiOner's sugar mOistened with
enough boiling water to make it
spread over like a glazing.
The little cakes, called Bahia, are
made from one and one-half cups of
coffee roll dough. Add one-third cup
each of raisins, curants and citron
which have been soaken in maras-
chino for one hour. Turn into small
buttered tins, let rise and bake in a
moderate oven. Pour over them a
syrup made by boiling one cup of
sugar and one quarter cup of claret
eight minutes; add one-third cup of
maraschino for favoring. Serve hot.
Miss Farmer defends the use of a
large amount of yeast to hasten ris-
ing and does not think any taste Of
the yeast can be detected This may
not apply so well to old-fashioned
liquid yeast.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-12-15
A RIoominrdnIe nenosit.

A gentleman living at Bloomingdale in
this county, called at the office of the
Morning News yesterday to say that with
in a quarter of mile of Bloomingdale
station there is a deposit of gravel which
appears to him to be so similar to the
Augusta gravel that he cannot tell one
from the other. He says the deposit is
so extensive that it would furnish enough
gravel to harden all the streets in Sa-
vannah and all the roads in South Geor-
gia.
If what the gentleman says about the
character of the gravel-that is if it will
answer the same purpose for which the
Augusta gravel is now being used in this
county and for which gravel a high price
is being paid-is correct the Bloomingdale
deposit is very important one. He says
that he showed to Commissioner Dale a
sample of the gravel last summer, and
that the commissioner appeared to be
much interested in the matter 1t may be
that Commissioner Dale had the deposit
examined, and found that it was so wholly
different from Augusta gravel that it
would not answer the county's purpose, or
the fact that there is a deposit of gravel
at Bloomingdale may have passed com
pletely from his mind.
The city is looking for a cheap paving
material-a material that would answer
fully as well as oyster shells if not better.
Perhaps the chairman of the street and
lane committee will have the Bloomingdale
gravel tested. It may be just what both
the city and county want. or it may be
worthless for paving purposes. What is
said about it, however is sufficient to
justify a thorough investigation of its
merits.
