GRAVES AND SAUCES.

Editor of Good Cookery:
Why is 1t that in hotels and restau-
rants we have such fine rich. looking
gravies, when, do the best we may, the
ordinary housewife cannot secure them?
] think 1 am very good cook-every-
body tells me SO, at any rate,-and 1 can
roast any kind of meat until It is done
to a turn. but when 1t comes to making
a gravy. It seems to me 1 fail lamentably.
The product l obtain is often lumpy, and
also a light, unpalatable appearing mess.
/ have tried many ways suggested for
making brown gravies and sauces, but
none seem to be just what l need. Can
you tell me what to do and how to do it
In plain terms, so / can understand the
process? MRS. j. L. B.
The making of a good brown gravy Is
sometimes very difficult, even to a pro-
fessional cook. The conditions that make
1t easy are sometimes absent. Ordinarily
speaking, the juices left in the pan in
which a Joint is roasted should form the
basis of a good gravy.
After the roast has been removed you
should skim off as thoroughly as possible
spoil the best efforts of anyone. If this
sklmming has left but little juice in the
pan, a common way of making a gravy
is to set the dish on the top of the range
and dust into the little liquid a little
-four, stirring constantly as vt browns,
until you have a smooth paste. Then
add by degrees a sufficient amount of
good stock to give the quantity and con-
sistency required.
If there is a reasonable amount of
Juices, you may first add more stock or
even hot water, if the product of the pan
is very rich, and then stir In table
spoonful of -four or corn starch wet in
cold water.
If the -four is we'll mixed with the
water and the product is not lumpy,
there is no reason why there should be
Jumps in the gravy.
The color of the gravy depends upon
several things. If a roast of pork is
cooked dry, flour being sprlnkled over
the bottom of the pan, the flour will
brown at the outset and will color the
Juices sufficiently to give you a good
brown gravy.
In roasting veal, haste frequently, u.s.
ing at first a half cupful of warm water
in which piece of butter the size of an
English walnut has been melted. Then
this with the juices from the meat
should be used for basting. Sufficient of
this will burn on the pan to brown the
liquid, which you will thicken to the
consistency desired.
You will find beef and lamb as a rule
fat enough to cook themselves so far as
the basting Ks concerned.
II your gravy is not brown enough to
suit when made as above. you may color
It in this way: In large iron spoon put
a small piece of butter. fill up with sugar
and place the spoon on the Goals. The
heat will melt and color tho mixture q
very dark color and this hastily made
caramel will color tho gravy as dark a.

Allow me to mention in your most
valuable paper what l consider a
shame and lasting disgrace TO the peo-
pie In Norfolk:
Yesterday, Thursday, February Sth.
between and o'clock, the guard from
the States penitentiary conducted from
the county Jail i'm Portsmouth across
the public ferry and through your prin-
cipal streets six negro men, who are to
serve out various sentences in the PEN
itentary of this state. These men, MI.
Editor, were handcuffed in pairs with
a long chan, resembling n rough pillow
chain, passed from the first couple on
through to the third couple, with
enough OF that chain left to pick up all
those in the various jails between here
and Richmond These six men were
marched from the, ferry up Market
Space. across Main street, down Talbot
street, to your city jail, where young
colored girl and u man were added to
that chain; and from this Jail they
were marched up Cove street, past
the Monticello Hotel to the boat. to
carry them away.
My attention was called to this scene
by the great excitement 1t created.
Fully three hundred people, both white
and colorcd, were following these pris-
onens through the streets. While in
your Jail this crowd congregated about
the vicinity OF the jail, some to pity
these unfortunate people. others to
feast and gloast over their downfall.
say, what is the object of parading
these prisoners through the public
streets this way? Surely there is no
thing to gain by 1t. Some say it is to
deter others in the commission of like
offences. or to set examples. How long
have you been marching them through
the streets chained and shackled to-
gether this way? Has 1t deferred
others? That is only answered by the
increased number on every visit? Does
1t make better men and women out OF
those You subject to such ridicule? No:
the criminal becomes moro hardened
to crime, and is always planning 10 do
something more henious because of
such cruel and harsh treatment by
those In authority. Some of these peo-
pie have never been to prison before:
and instead of being treated kindly and
conveyed through the streets in 81 re-
spectacle manner in some covered con-
veyance, they are subjected to be
driven by the iron hand of the law.

hence those that might or may have n
