A lot Of people wrote their questions
and gave them 70 the great professor,
and when evening came be had about
fifty good gnarly problems in bis bunch
Of paper slips.
The evenings exercise began with
reading and answering the questions,
aud though some Of them were from
away bacE aud very obtuse, the good
old man who had put himself up there
as 2 mark coped with them successfully,
and impressed the great gathering with
his vast knowledge.
Finally be ran against a question that
made him knit his brows. He scoWled
at il q moment and then laid it aside.
When he answered all the rest he
picked up. the side-tracked query and
said

GOOD TO EAT.


Some Suggestions for the Housewife who
has no 1inee 20 Originate.
Bean porridge and Indian meal pud-
ding, as they we're made half q century
ago, have never been excelled, we are
told. The lean porridge might still be
made with profit in those families where
hearty, substantial food IS needful.
Take five pounds Of corhed beef not too
salt, on four pounds Of beef and one Of
salt pork one pint Of dry, white beans;
four tablespoonfuls Of corn meal, pep
per aud salt to taste. and one pint Of
hulled corn. Soak the beans over night.
In the morning parboil in fresh water
with pinch Of soda till SOFT Put the
corned beef and pork in cold water,
skim carefully. and simmer four Or five
hours till tender Take ont and cut
into two-inch pieces and remove the
bone and gristle; also the fat from the
liquor. Put the meat and beans into
the meat liquor and simmer very slowly
three o. four hours, 0r till most Of the
beans are broken. Half an hour before
serving stir Ia the meal, first wetting It
ia cold water to a smooth paste The
meal should thicken the porridge to
about the consistency Of a thick soup
The meat should be cooked until it
falls apart Season TO taste with salt
and pepper Add the hulled corn, and
when hot serve with brown bread.
This was considered splendid winter
food 10 old times. When cooked il was
poured into bowls OF basins holding
from one pint to two quarts A nice
tow string was laid 10 a loop over the
edge and the porridge was placed where
it would freeze. BY holding the dish
in hot water it would cause the porridge
to slip out Then it was hung up BY
loops in the cold "butiery," and was
considered best when mine days old.
For the Indian meal pudding rub a
tablespoonful of butter round the bot
tom aud sides Of a smooth kettle When
melted add half q cup Of boiling water
This win prevent the milk from burn
ing Add one quart OF milk. Let it
boil up and almost over the kettle, then
siit in one pint Of fine yellow granulated
corn meal. sitting with the left hand
and holding the meal high, that every
grain may be thoroughly sealded. Stir
constantly; add half a ieaspoonful Of
salt, and set away till cold Then add
half pint Of New Orleans molasses and
one quart Of cold milk. Put into a we'll
butered deep pudding dish, cover with
q plate, and bake very slowly ten on
twelve hours. Set it Ia the oven late
on Saturday. where the fire will keep
low all night. II you serve it for q
Sunday morning breakfast according to
the recipe. it will be we'll to put to bak-
ing ON SATURDAY night.

Some women we're complaining re.
Gently, while trading, that their potatoes
cost them so much, especially as they
are a little high inst now. One woman
suggested that they use carrots in the
place Of potatoes occasionally in the
way she described II was to buy, for
instance. pound Of chuck steak, which
would cost Il cents, and very large
carrot Put the steak in large frying
pan with sufficient snet Peel the carrot
and slice it as thinly as possible Salt
and pepper should be added when the
carrots are put 10. Cover the frying
pau and let ia carrot steam slowly at
first until tender. Then cook more
quickly until meat and carrot are
Drowned. Bnt do not burn them.
When done. the carrot should be sat.
urated with gravy from the suet aud
steak while cooking. Put the steak on
platter and lay the slices Of carrot
around IT, 1t is surprising to see what
an amount a large carrot will make
when sliced up thinly and served in this
way. II also tastes very rich, and is
certainly as substantial as potatoes.
