THE GENUINE IRISH STEW.
How to Make It Out Of Food somstimes
Thrown Away.

How to Make It Out of Food 6ometimes
Thrown Away.
We are not apt to regard the Irish
peasantry as either thrifty or a pat
tern in any matters Of cookery, yet
the canny Scotch are nc more se-
we're economists than the Irish Of
the northern country. The genuine
irish stew is a dish that deserves
every praise. tits as great a success
in Its way as a Scotch broth of NUT
ton, and it is a culinary lesson In the
use of what people generally throw
away.
To make this dish the peasant Be-
cures what scraps of meat and bones
he can get for a few cents. The pur-
chase in chiefly bone, and the meat
is either beef or mutton, or 1t may
be both.
The bone and meat are separated
and the fat is removed. The best
way to make the broth Is to throw
the meat In one kettle and the bones
In another and cover them both
with cold water.
After the contents Of the two ket-
ties have simmered very slowly for
an hour salt is added. The cook
now gathers any sound vegetable
tops-the green tops Of celery, the
green leaves outside the cabbage,
which in less thrifty parts Of the
land are the perquisite Of the pig.
These are chopped together and add
ed to the kettle containing the bones
and, simmered with them for the
next hour. For every two quarts of
the stew two small onions cut in
slices are added. When they have
simmered half an hour, six small
potatoes, cut in quarters, are put in.
When the potatoes have cooked
half an hour, strain the broth of
the bones and chopped vegetables,
pressing the vegetables hard to ex-
tract all the pulp and flavor from
them. Thicker the strained broth
with a heaping tablespoonful Of flour
mixed with a large tablespoonful of
butter. If mutton is used, the broth
must be carefully skinned before
adding the thickening. Let the
thiokening cook in the strained
broth for ten minutes, stirring it
carefully; then pour it in the kettle
of meat, onions and potatoes. Let
the stew simmer a moment or two,
stirring 1t constantly. Taste it to
see if it needs more salt, add pepper
and serve at once.
It Is largelya pot of luck, depend
ing upon the vegetables at hand
and the amount of meat it contains,
but it Is nutritious, even when it is
made largely Of vegetables, and ii
is always excellent. New York
Tribune.

"haruver success Ihave attain
ed at the bar was attained without d
course at a law school," writes ex-
President Harrison in The Ladies'
Home Journal in reply to a request
from the editor of The journal that
he would answer a correspondent as
to the possibility of making a sue
cess at law without q course at a Law
school. II studied law in the ofic,
of a leading law firm in Cincinna+
That a course of lectures by o
professors upon the law, as u
any other subject, is valuable to
student I do not doubt. But
professors derive their inform,
from books to which the st,

student gets in a law office are Of the
first value to a practitioner"

noltke and the English churcn.

Moltke's wife was of English
origin, but in his criticisms on Eng
land Nine. Moltke's descent made
no difference to the general. When
he had to be mounted for some re-
view and the Duke of Wellington
provided him with a horse, he wrote
TO his wife: "The Lord in his wrath
made the Duke of Wellington mas
ter of the horse. He understands
nothing about horses so he provided
me with an animal that had run at
the last races. never rode a more
uncomfortable one." In Moltke's
letters to his wife and other rela-
tives this description of the service
in an English church is described:
1.-THE prayers last for about an
hour, in the course of which clergy
man and congregation alternately
speak. The consequence is that one
passes about half the time upon
ones knees, which seems an easy
task, seeing that one is provided
with a good velvet cushion and an
easy chair at ones back, but in other
respects it is really q chastisement.
After these the chapter Of the Old
Testament was read which describes
how Gideon Stays the five Amorite
kings, puts them in a cave and
hangs them Oh trees, and how many
towns he had destroyed, killing the
inhabitants to a man, and other GER
tainly not very edifying things Of
the same character. The sermon

Early Dentistry,

The art of dentistry was practiced
among the Egyptians and Etruscans,
and there are evidences in mummies
and skulls that in very ancient
times teeth we're filled and efforts
were made to supply the loss Of nat
ural by artificial teeth. The first
writer on the treatment Of diseased
teeth was Galen. The science was
introduced into America by John
Greenwood, who established him
self in New York in 1855. InF179O,
and again inH1795, hecarved inivory

Washington.

Now that woman hns usurped mans
place in many occupations it is not at all
surprising that she has entered tho aronn

Sho has been in tho ring for six years and

She has boon in the ring once every, month,

less injured.
Her part Of the work consisted in giving
tho quictus to the bull after no had boon

with sharp, two edged sword, which she
plunged into the heart or neck of tho beast.
