For a Change.

I have learned a new way to cook
beefsteak, which may also be new to
others. Heat half teaspoonful of salt
smoking hot in the frying pan, then put
in the steak and turn often. Instead of
drawing out the juice, as it always will
to salt the meat while cooking, this
method retains the juice and makes it
very palatable. In making meat balls
try the same plan, leaving out the salt
when mixing, and heat the salt very
hot in the frying pan.
A nice way of cooking chopped steak,
especially for sick people, is to have the
frying pan piping hot, then put in the
chopped beef and stir quickly Let it
cook until it loses it's red look, turn it
out upon a hot plate and serve at once.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Buy Meat For the Family
mer York For Christmas.
Timely Hints.

The purchaser of "choice CUTS of
meat for the family table has ordinarily
little conception Of the difficulty which
the butcher and marketman have in
disposing of the remainder Of the car
cass. In discussing this matter recently
large dealer stated that the greatest
difficulty which retailers Of meats have
to contend with is the demand for
steaks, chops and small joints to supply
the numerous small families of the
cities. The limited number of steaks or
chops in a carcass of beef or mutton is
soon exhausted, and the butcher is left
with "a large remainder of heavy and
rough cuts, for which there is next to
no demand from the ordinary consumer.
Then there is the fat, or suet which
constitutes large percentage of the
weight of the quarters Of any we'll fat
ted animal, and which can be sold for
only a very few cents per pound. The
retailer has been compelled to pay an
average price for ALL which, under the
circumstances cited, he cannot reim-
burse to himself and secure a living
profit unless he charges disproportion-
ately high price for the cuts in demand.
That, of course, the consumer objects
to, and the only recourse the retailer
has open to him is to plead the imposi-
ton of advance in rates by the whole
sale Or cattle slaughterers. If consumers
would buy their meat in greater variety
Of cuts, they would exercise more econo-
my and there would be less accusation
of conspiracy to raise prices made
against cattlemen and slaughterers.-

A PRICELESS DOCUMENT IN
DANGER.

The Declaration Of Independence is
not kept at independence Hall, Phila-
delphia as many may suppose, but is
now at the State Department in Wash
iLgton, secreted in strong box
It is preserved between two great
plates of glass, the edges of which
are Theoretically sealed.
Visitors to the State Department
who want to see the Declaration are
confronted with perfect fac-simile,
which hangs in handsome frame
and looks old enough to be the orig
inal. The truth is that the Declare
ton was fast becoming a tradition
when the extraordinary steps for
preservation were taken about three
years ago.
In the administration of John
Quincy Adams copper plate of the
original was made. To get the copy
for the engraver the surface of the
parchment was moistened with wet
cloth and print was taken. 1t re-
moved about fifty per cent. of the
ink.
For some years the original was ex-
hibited under glass at the Patent Of
fee. It hung where the sun reached
a short time each day until the dis
covery was made that the script was
fading. John Hancock's name, one of
the boldest on the sheet, in the space
Of two or three years became too dim
TO distinguish.
Then the officials having charge
saw that if left in the light the orig
inal would in few generations entire
ly disappear. The strong box was
built. The plates of glass were OBJ
tanned and sealed.
In the drawer underneath the Dec
laration, the copper plate made in
Adams IS time is kept.
The Declaration can be deciphered
with the aid of a glass, but the sigma
lures are almost entirely faded out.
What is left of the revered instru-
ment will, with present present pre-
cautions last long time.

{. When it is necessary to keep meal
hot for belated conner, do not set
the plate holding the food in a hot
oven, thus discoloring the china as
well as drying the food; instead, place
the plate upon the fire over a pan of
boiling water, covering the plate with
a pan that will just fit ovea the edge
of the plate. The food will keep hot
and there will be enough steam from
the boiling water in the lower pan to
keep the plate moist and prevent it's
contents from becoming dried.

Week Ago-Buyers Still Disinclined tic
Pay asked Figures-Eggs In Light Re-
ceipt-How Flour Prices Stand.
Boston, July 20.-The butter market
mas gained more strength under the in
fiuence of the falling off in the make and
the comparatively light supplies COM
ing forward, and strictly fine creamery
is quoted half a dollar hundred higher
than a week ago. Buyers are not re-
spending freely to the advance, but the
indications are that it will be established,
as the butter is costing that much more
laid down here.
So far as our trade is concerned, the
same unsatisfactory conditions exist
that have been prevalent for several
weeks past. In but few cases can round
lots be sold at any advance on cost, and
the result is that owners are carrying
stock in hopes of better market later.
Buyers who have been waiting for lower
rates in order to stock Up are disap-
pointed, and are endeavoring to cover
themselves the best way they can, but
they are not operating with any spirit.
They were willing to pay last weeks
current rate, that is II cents for strictly
fine lots, but when 1715 cents were asked
they demurred and run around a good
deal before making up their minds For
most Of the western extra offered in
straight lots Il cents was all that could
be obtained but these contained more
or less defective tubs which were in
cluded in the sale. Most Of the sales re-
ported were on the basis of 1715 cents.
and for some of the lots offered buyers
would not pay over Il cents. Perhaps
a range of II to 171s cents should be
given, with Is cents for fancy lots
There was a fair jobbing trade, and
little higher range of prices had to be
asked, in keeping with the rising ten
dency of the wholesale market. Some
dealers quoted IS to 1872 cents, and others
1872 to 20 cents, including tubs and boxes,
but all agreed that strictly fine butter
could not be bought as low as a week
ago.
The receipts for the week were 80, ia
tubs and 24,956 boxes a total weight of
4 1, sol, 1874 pounds, against 1, $50, 205 pounds
the previous week and 1925, 459 pounds
the corresponding week last year.
The statement of the Quincy Market
Cold Storage company for the week is as
follows: Put in, 16, 211 tubs; taken out,
1856 tubs stock, 145, 943 tubs, against
1851 tubs same time last year, a de-
crease of II, POS tubs. The Eastern Colo
Storage company reports u, 600 tubs.
