HOW TO SELECT MEATS.
The Cost of the Choicest Cuts are In In
verse Ratio to Their Real Food Value.

The Cost of the Choicest Cuts arc In In
verso Ratio to Their Real Food Value.
Sallie Joy White in the Womans
Home Companion gives this practical
advice to inexperienced cooks: The
finest roasts and steaks are found in
the hind quarter, as we'll as the juiclest
meats for making beef tea, meat pies.
beef a la mode, or potted beef. Sirloin.
of course, gives the very choicest roasts
and steaks; next comes the rump, this
being cut in three parts. The back,
the middle and the face are good roast
ing pieces; but the most economical is
the middle cut, as it is free from bone
and has not scrap of waste on it.
Good steaks are cut from the top of the
round; some people go so far as to
say that the favor Of round steak is
superior to that Of any other. The
lower portion Of the round is used for
braizing and for beef tea. The ten
derloin has the most tender meat, but
it is neither so juicy nor so well ia
vored as other portions that are not so
tender, and it is not nearly so nutri-
tious as portions that require much
cooking. The sirloin comes next in
tenderness and delicacy. These cost
more than any other cuts, but there is
less nutritive value than is found in
the cheaper parts. Indeed, the cost of
the meat seems to be in inverse ratio
to its real food value. OF course, this
is so because of the much smaller pro-
portion of the so-called chocer cuts.
1t is one Of the wise economies of ma
ture that it should be so. The harder
working class of people, those who do
a great deal Of manual labor and par
ticularly those whose occupation takes
them a great deal into the open air,
need the nourishment and sustaining
quality Of the heavier meats. And
these are found in the cheaper parts,
particularly where there Is a great deal
Of juice in the meat and rich marrow
in the bone. Stews and braized meats,
or those that are steamed in their own
juices over the fire, as pot-boiled or
roasted meats, give the most nutriment
and add to the physical strength that
is needed besides, in cold weather,
supplying great deal of warmth by
furnishing carbon for the body"

Cervera and Schiey.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press says that on the return of the
United States cruiser Brooklyn to the
blockade off Santiago de Cuba, on the
evening of July 8, the Iowa reported to
Commodore Schley that Admiral Ger
vera, the commander of the Spanish
fleet. was on board. The commodore
at once went over to pay his respects.
The Spanish admiral was much cast
down by his defeat, but preserved Il
dignified and courteous demeanor, not
withstanding. He said he deeply ap-
preciated the fact that the men of the
Brooklyn did not exult by cheering,
when it was learned that he was pris-
oner on the Iowa. He replied, in re-
spouse to the commodore's remark,
that it was the fortune OF war: Eyes,
but I've lost my career, now that I've
been defeated" Commodore Schley
however, told him that such a brave
deed as bringing out his squadron
could never be looked upon otherwise
than as most gallant feat, upon which
Admiral Cervera threw his arms
around the commodore, ana SAID: An,
sailors always are gentlemen" He
then said he thought his dead would
number probably 750, though he
could not tell definitely. He spoke Of
the accuracy and deadliness of the
Brooklyn's fire; saying that in the early
part of the action one OF her shells
had traversed the entire length of the
gun deck, killing and wounding prob
ably eighty men. On the Vizcaya alone
there were 10 men killed. Admiral
Cervera said he feared the losses might
be greater than he anticipated, for
many men were below the protective
deck, and when the ships we're on fire
it must have been difficult for them TO
escape. Admiral Cervera also said
he had no doubt but that at least three
of the ships would have got away had
IT not been for the Brooklyn. the Ore.

BEER FOR KIAO-CHAU.
German Beverage Has Been introduced

record that the German colony in Shan
tung has received its first baptism of
beer. 1t appears that a patriotic Ber-
lin brewery dispatched several casks
Of its famous book beer last February
as free-will offering to the gallant
German marines in Kiao-Chau. The
gift was fully appreciated, and the ac-
acknowledgement, dated April IS, has just
reached Berlin. Capt. Rosendahl, the
naval governor of Kiao-Chau, is the
author of one letter of thanks. He
states that the beer arrived in excel
lent condition. "A solemn supper" as
he describes it, was arranged by the
officers of the marine battalion, at
which the menu consisted of fresh
sausages and Berlin book beer. The
governor and all the higher officials,
in Tsing-Tau were invited to this APP
petizing repast. A second acknow!-
edgment has arrived at the brewery
from the under officers and men. 1t
is written on the familiar post card
and is signed by all the participants.
