VARIOUS CUTS OF BEEF.
Highest Priced Are Not the Tenderest I
Most Savory.

Highest Priced Are Not the Tenderest or
Most Savory.
The prime steer used for beef pur-
poses weighs about 900 pounds. OF
this amount there are in the carcass
two sets of first quality ribs, consisting
of seven ribs in each set, and weighing
about 40 pounds per set. There are
also two loins weighing about 40
pounds each. There is, on an average,
IT'S pounds of choice beef in each well
regulated steer; but some butchers
have been known to sell porterhouse
from a carcass after everything was
gone but the horns. A large percent
age of the most nutricious meat is
found in the coarser cuts; but nearly
every one demands part of the It's
pounds, which is false idea of domes-
tic economy as well as judgment.
Practical experience has shown that
the utilization of the chucks, the best
part of the round, the rump, flank, the
plate and brisket gives the best results
and is conducive of better health than
the higher-p priced meats. Such parts
need more attention while cooking,
however, yet the many tempting dishes
that may be made from them more
than repay for all extra trouble. The
average housewife may not know it,
but nevertheless it is a fact that butch
ers who are daily and hourly handling
all kinds of cuts of beef almost inva-
riably choose for their own consump-
tion flank steak. They say it is more
savory than and just as tender as ten
derloin, which cut the butcher seldom
eats. The flank steak is situated be-
tween the inside and outside layers of
creamy colored fat in the flank, and
when taken from we'll fed stock is ex-
cellent. 1t costs at the market but
half as much as porterhouse or sirloin.
An old butcher once told me that
the best piece of meat in the bullock
for making a dish of boiled beef is the
close-grained top piece over the shoul-
der blade.
Meat adhering to the ribs makes
much more satisfactory steak than the
socalled sirloin, and costs but little.
This piece may be larded and served
as is filet beef. 1t is also quite accept
able as Mignon steak.

TOLERABLY HONEST.

Private John Allen, of Mississippi,
had a case in the supreme court. 1t
had been dragging along a good while
in the lower tribunals, and when it was
reached in the higher body, the op-
posing counsel presented brief his,
tory of the cause so far as it had gone.
After the justices had listened atten-
lively to the lawyer, and when he had
finished, Mr.. Allen was asked if the
opposing counsel had stated what was
strictly true.
"If your honors please" said the
astute Mississippian, "l can best an
swer the question with a little story.
Some time ago a sheriff of one of the
counties of my state died. There was
another gentleman residing in the
county who thought he could fill the
official shoes of the deceased to nice
ty, so be proceeded to draw up re-
commendation in his own behalf for
appointment to the vacancy, and then
secured his neighbors' signatures to it..
He recited in the document his numer-
Gus qualifications for the position, and
stated, among other things, that 'Mr.
Jones was strictly honest He carried
the paper to old Judge Smith and ask
ed him to sign it.
"The judge put on his specs and
carefully read the paper over. Then
he coughed and said:
"Jones, I'll sign this here recon-
mendation if you'll let me change one
word in it,
"Jones glowed with satisfaction, for
the judges signature was a power in
the premises.
"Certny, judge, certny,' he cordial
ly remarked. 'One word can't hurt
the paper. Now, what word would
you like to change, sir9'
"'Well,' replied the judge, L just
want to scratch out the word strictly
where it precedes honest and insert
the word tolerably.'"
The grave justices laughed and the
case went on.
