ANGELICA ROOT.
A Return to Old English Taste in
Seasoning Dishes.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post
There is a sort Of fad today for early
English goods and merchandise. The old
poultry seasonings are used more than ever
chamomile and chamomile tea are again In
vogue in the sick room, and angelica plant
is for sale in the shops and stores. Many
years ago the angelica was exceedingly
popular. The flowers were employed to
give sweet perfume to clothes presses and
bureau drawers, the tender stalks were
candied or preserved and made palata BILE
cOnfections, the leaves were used as pot
herbs and the roots, after washing and
scraping, were converted into medicinal tea
There is a difference between the English
and American ageica, the former being
smaller, more delicate and more aromatic.
The herb now in the market is the English
variety; most of it is imported, but large
amount comes from this country where the
British plant has been successfully accli-
mated.
All these old uses have been revived, and
some new ones added to them. Among the
latter may be mentioned angelica cordial
which Is made of light sherry wine, macer-
eted angelica leaves, stalks and roots, and
pure syrup made from white sugar The
preparation should be allowed to stand for
sixty days, and should be then squeezed
through strong bag or else in a kitchen
press. The cordial Is OF pleasant brown
ish color, with an agreeable taste and a
very rich odor. According to its votaries
it makes a capital appetizer and stomachic.
The stems, cut Into small pieces, boiled
until soft, and then dipped in molten sugar
or in confectioners' cream, make pleasant
demulcent that is quite eff1cacious for light
coughs or colds. The leaves. chopped up
with parsley, form an agreeable dressing for
lamb chops, and when mixed with parsley
and other pot herbs Improve the flavor Of
potroast.
Its most enjoyable use Is undoubtedly as
a chief ingredient in the potpourri jar. The
best combination is one-third red rose leaves
and two-thirds of angelica flowers and
leaves cut fine with sharp knife. These
should be placed IN a jar with a little salt
covered with water, weighed down by a
stone, and then the jar Itself should be COW
cred alright. In short time the essential
oils Of angelica will separate from the yege-
table tissue, and will give forth perfume in
almost unlimited quantities whenever the
cover of the jar Is raised.

Of the number OF persons who are killed
