ROLLED MEATS.
Iyv Duic Itnip.

The most cCmmon and almost uniyer-
sal dish throughout France, is large
piece of plain;r-boiled fresh beer, from
which the sol Dor "potage, as II IL
there callcd--leis been partly made, ana
which is se4arately served up as
"bouilli," accompanied by strong gravy
and minced vegetables, or stcwed cab
tage. Now this, as constantly dressed,
in the French mode, is ever delicate,
both in fibre and flavor; while i'll the
American manner of boiling II, II rs al
ways almost haf'l and insipid.
The reason of which, as explained by
that celebrated cock, Careme, is tins;
The meat. instead of being put down
to boil as in the EsagliSh method, is in
France putin the Tot with the usual
quantity of water, aud placed at the
corner of the fireplace or range, where,
slowly becoming hot, the heat grad
ualy swels the muscular fbres OF the
beef, diSsolving the gelat.nOus subStan-
ces therein contained, and diSengaglng
that portion which chemists term
"ozmaZome," and which impartS SAVIOR
to the flesh, thus both rendering the
meat tender and palatable, and the
broth rcliShing and nutritivc; whilst, On
the contrary. if the pot be inconSider-
atcly put upon too quick hrr, the
boiling is precipitated, the fibre coagu-
latcS, and halienS the ozmazone Is
hndcred from dscngaging itself and
thus nothing is obtained but pee" or
tough meat. and broth without taste
or SuCculence.
Meat loses by cooking, from one-tfth
to one-third of its whole weight. Nor.
is lost by roasting than by boiling meat.
In calculating for a family, one pound
per day for each individual is n general
allowance for dinner.
Meat that is not TO be cut till cold
must be well done, particularly III sum
mcr.
The use of skewers in joints should
be avoided as much as possible, as they
let out the gravy; Irvine will answer
better, often.

The most elegant evening wraps
are very simple in effect, but extrava-
CANT to degree as regards cost. A
silk coat with deep circular founce
of fur, fur collar, and undersleeves,
and real lace scarf at the neck is
one example, while another is of
white cloth with no trimming except
machine stitching and collar and
undersleeves of sable.
A pretty blouse to wear with a
cloth skirt is made of meteor crepe
matching the cloth in color. Lines of
lace insertion are set in intervals all
around between groups of tucks and
small gold buttons decorate the front
plat.
Pretty trimmings for collar bands,
Wristbands and waist decorations of
various sorts are made by joining
runs of braid with lace stitch, or
alternating narrow ribbon with
braid and joining them in the same
manner.

popular materials for the brides

Sleeves are becoming more fanciful
in type and gradually departing from
the straight, tightly fitted model
which has reigned so long. Soft
crepe, mousseline, chiffon and figured
nets are made up very fancifully for
evening wear, and the foundation is
usually of net or chiffon, closely
shaped and fitted.
There is something inimitable in
the wearing of black, and, next to all
white, it is the most successful toilet
imaginable, providing it is carried
out in good taste.

MOUTH BREATHING.
An Affection of Children That should
BE Rcmedied Before 1t
Becomes Chronic.

Notwithstanding results in injury
to the entire respiratory system as
well as in actual deformity of the
bones of the face. The cause of
mouth-breathing is of course any
thing that interferes with the free
passage of air through the nostrils.
Thus in the early stage of an or
binary cold, the membranous lining
of the nostrils becomes swollen, the
nose becomes stopped up" and the
sufferer must breathe through the
mouth, to his added discomfort This
is only temporary, yet it is by no
means unimportant, for while it lasts
|. exposes one to inflammation of
the tonsils, throat and lungs through
the inhalation of cold and unfiltered
air. says the Youths Companion.
or greater Importance, however,
are the causes of habitual mouth
breathing, from which so many chill
dren suffer. The most common of
these is a collection of glandular It's
sue in the pharynx, and whenever
young child is seen to breathe habit
ually with open mouth, an examine
ton for these growths should be
made.
Physicians sometimes hesitate to
remove them, for they say they will
probably disappear as the child
grows older; but they may not dis
appear, and even if they do, it may
be only after permanent damage has
been done to the child. They ought
always to be removed when they are
voluminous enough to obstruct nasal
respiration.
A somewhat less common cause of
habituai Notwithstanding is the pres
ence of enlarged tonsils--a condition
which may or may not coeXist with
that just mentioned. These also will
probably grow smaller as the child
grows larger, but it is far better to
remove them at once, before irreme-
diable damage has been done.
Less frequently the nostrils are OBJ
structed by growths, known as polypi,
from their lining mucous membrane.
The treatment of most of these
conditions is simple, but as it can
be carried out only by the physician,
II need not be discussed here. The
aim Of this article is to urge the
necessity of seeking medical advice
for anyone, child or adult, who habit
ually breathes through the mouth, in
order that more serious trouble may
