Why Water Won't Fry.

Why cannot we fry In water? Be-
cause water can only be heated to the
boiling point, 212 degrees, and any adj
ditional heat does not increase its tenn
perature. Two hundred and twelve de-
Rrees of heat will not brown the sur
face Of anything. Fat, on the contrary,
can be made much hotter, the tempera-
ture depending on the kind. There is n
lesson here for the economical house.
wife. Don't stuff the stove with fuel
when the vegetables, meat. ETC., are
already boiling. They cook no faster
because of the increase of heat.

a tall. digniied woman of striking per-
