There are three general methods OF
carving a hahn: First. by cutting long,
delicate slices through the thick fat down
to the bone: second. by running the point
of the knife in the circle in the middle
and cutting thin. circular slices; and

Strange Inconsistencies and perversions

when a woman becomes addicted to bar

rett. in an article on .The Bargain
| Mania" in the February "Woman's Home
Companion"
Sometimes the proud possessor OF a
| bargain will make the most extraordinary
and expensive efforts to save 1t from such
oblivion, as in the case of the lady VINO
bought some bargain buttons. She waited
a reasonable length of time, thinking they
would come in and as they never came
in. she purchased a dress to match them.
Such heroic action is not at all uncofa-
mon among bargain-hunters- This was
the same lady who purchased a bargain
s~moking-set, and having no earthly use
for it, began the pernicious hablt OF shoh-
ing cigarettes after dinner.
1T is odd how such a woman will gloat
over a bargain, and on the strength OF
the brilliant transaction Immediately
commit some extravaganza to OFFSET II.
Well, as this was so cheap, 1 can afford
to buy that Then will she patiently go
to many stores and obtain regular prices
in order to establish the character OF the
bargain as such. But what is her anguish
of mind if she discovers tina she might
have bought the same article a little
cheaper at some other place. A woman
constantly possessed of the bargain idea
is likely to carry it into all her dealings
with -mankind-social as well as COM
mercial. Aside from the economic stand
point, the spirit of ever seeking to get
more than one pays for is, to say the
least. not mentioned in the catalogue OF
Christian virtues. She is likely to be

helping to h-ing about a good result.
First, pastry should lie prepared III a
cool place. when me temperature is low,
care is not so imperative, but in summer,
in nine cases out of ten, failure is due to
great heat. Then the flour should al
ways be dried and sifted, and the butter
we'll pressed, to free it from all surplus
MOISTURE; to this end it is advisable in
hot weather to wash the butter in fresh
water over night, roll it tightly in a clean
dry muslin, beat it gently with a wooden
roller, and place it on a marble slab till
wanted. When lard is used it must be
absolutely fresh and worked in a cool
room. Further the knife or cutter must
be sharp, and when the pastry is brushed
over with egg or water, as the case may
be, this should not be dropped on any
other part except on that on which it is
required, for such a proceeding would
prove detrimental 10 the result. lastly,
the oven should be kept well closed to
ensure a perfectly even heat, otherwise
the pastry will fall in on the sid where
the heat is not so great, and 1t is not until
the pastry has risen that a sheet Of pa
per should be spread over the top; then
the %ventilator may be opened to let out
the moisture and to completely dry the
contents. A good way of proving the
oven is this: Lay a sheet of paper inside;
if it turns yellow quickly the degree is
attained for puff pastry, and that which is
with butter and with yeast. Other
kinds of dough. etc, succeed better when
the heat of the oven colors the paper
more slowly"
