Another Rusnian Reform

St. Petersburg. Sept. 22.-A project for granting the Russian people under certain limitations the right of assem- bly for the discussion of political and economic questions--a reform second in importance only to the convection of the representative assembly and which was elaborated by, a commission under the presidency of Count Ignatiefr Is now practically completed and after a final review by the Solsky commission on Saturday will be immediately laid before Emperor Nicholas. It's promul- gation Is confidently expected early next week.
 Though coupled with a number of restrictions designed to give the au- thoritles oversight of proceedings in order to prevent the discussion of reasonable or seditious subjects, this reform will mark a great con stitutional advance. the people hitherto having no general right of assembly except at meetings of authorized societies. The privilege granted by the emperor's rescript of March 8. permitting meet ings for discussion of popular represen- tation. was a temporary measure and was withdrawn when the national as- sembly rescript was issued.

What 1t Is.

Casserole is a French name that
suggests an important feature of the
up to date kitchen.
The casserole is a simple, covered
dish, made of fireproof pottery, which
Will stand the heat of the oven Or the
top of the range. Whatever is cooked
in this dish is designated casserole
of chicken, pigeon, rice, or whateve:,
it may be.
They come in hard pottery and in
soft pottery; in shapes, round, oval,
and oblong.
Some are polished and some are
rough. Some are plain and some are
fancy. They come with handles and
without. They are made all sizes and
to satisfy all needs and desires.
Upon the cover of one appears a
duck upon another a chicken,
and so on, which intimates tor what
use it is intended.
For individual use come all kinds
of convenient molds, and for family
use large ones meet the demand.
The casserole is superior in its
claims and satisfying in its results
and is friend to every we'll organ
lied cuisine.

then turn it over on to a baking sheet
or marble slab, and, taxing in the
hands a little less than half, mold 1T

proceeding exactly the same with the
other half, keeping back a piece to
roll into a round form; then flatten 1t
down to half its thickness. Dress

one of the small mushroom pieces on
a sheet of paper; then fasten the
f1attened ball in the center and place
the other large mushroom on top or
this, only having it reversed, the wild
est part uppermost. Carve the crus-
tade all around and cover it with
clarified butter; then brown in brisk
oven and empty out the inside; fill it
with illets or breasts of chicken,
sauted in Clarified butter and small
artichoke bottoms cut in -four, also

The casserole is the coming gen

is far the much easier wa-
Economically, it is much to be de.

and in the aroma and flavor OF the

The cooking of the fowl in J..

things that can be prepared.

rougher the exterior, the better the
food can be made.
Cali kinds of fowl and game can be
prepared in the casserole and the re-
suit will delight the epicurean taste.
"a potato that is cooked in the
casserole is delicious. Rice and to-
matoes cooked in one are almost de,
lightful, l think.
delightful casserole combination.
Pigeon or quail are delicious cook

quality of almost everything to be
prepared by this method.
"Of course, dishes casseroled re,
quire more time and must be kept
covered closely 10 order to keep the
flavor.
zone attractive feature is found in
the fact that they are served direct
from oven to table. l think fooo

There are many individual forms

is so homely as to be pretty like
