Earnings Of English Railways.

While we are inclined to criticise
English railroads with much freedom.
they have a record in respect

year, of over ~ per cent. With all

Home Corncd Beef ana Its Cooking
A piece of plain corned beef, properly
boiled, pressed and cut in delicate thin
slices and served with catsup an mus
tard is an excellent dish served either
not or cold. That it is not held in as
high repnte in this country as in Eng
land is due to the fact that the corning
is often done by interior butchers, whose
practice it is to corn their meat in order
To save it when it is on the verge OF
spelling. An English housewife sees to
the corning of her own meat, beef,
tongue or fresh shoulder or pork. and
the result is satisfactory. Another rea.
son why corned beef is not satisfactory
in this countryis that it has been cooked
too fast and the muscles reduced to
| !eatherv strings instead OF becoming ten
| der and juicy. A reliable corned beef

until dissolved without boiling again.
Let it stand until morning. then strain
aud put in the beef tongue or shoulder.
The beef should STAY in at least a day
, tor every pound and tongue three
weeks. The meat should be turned ev-
cry dav.
The rump of the ANIMAL is the portion
chosen bv most American cooks because
there is little waste in it, and there is a
large portion of lean to the fat. The
English housewife prefers the brisket or
plate pieces, which are composed o
layers Of juicy lean and fat. These pieces
cost Just about half of what the butcher
charges for the rump. A ten-pound bris
ket OF fiat ribs is the best joint for boil
ing. If you have corned it yourself you
can put it at once into boiling water
then allow the meat to come slowly t.
the boiling point again. push back or
the fire and simmer gently ior five OF
six hours for piece of seven or eigh'
pounds. If the meat has been in corr
some time and is very salt, put over II
cold water instead of boiling, then pro

enough so that the bones slip out easily
