army possessed parrot and also a
very Irasclble temperament. The par
rot was valuable bird, but was rather
nuisance by reason OF Its extreme
talkativeness. One day while the gen.
eral was writing his business letters
the parrot kept up continual chatter,
very disturbing to the writer. At last
the general could stand 1t no longer.
and, jumping UP, he seized the cage OF
the unhappy bird, which he whirled
vigorously round and round, at the
same time shouting furiously. Then
he set the cage down again, and 81

POINTERS ON COG COOKERY.
Some Things 20 Be Borne in Mind In

should be ~ hours old, and certainly
eggs over a week old are not paIatabIe
when boiled, though they are not I'm
pleasant when fried and are quite as
scryiceable In other dishes, In cook,
ing eggs IT should be remembered that
the albumen, Of which the white Is
chiefly composed, In most easily d.
gested when slightly coaguiated, while
the yolk digests easiest when dry and
mealy. To boil eggs evenly, put them
into d dish having a tight cover and
pour boiling water owe them in the
proportion Of two quarts to INT dozen
eggs, cover and set al the back Of the
stove. After seven minutes turn the
eggs, recover and in six minutes more
the eggs viii be cooked. When more
eggs than -four are used by this
method, about ten minutes longer
after the turning VIII be required. In
this way the white Of the egg cooks to
a Iellylike casistency, while the yolk
Is much harder,
Foreign cooks use a small portion Of
grated cheese to give a plouant relish
TO many dishes. Veal broth, creamed
potatoes and many salads are greatly
improved by It's addition. The shell of
an Edam or pineapple cheese makes
n very nice dish for serving macaroni
