GOOD WAYS
70 COOK VENlSON.
Here Ara Recipes For Preparing
Steaks, Outlets and Stews...Every
Part Edible.

This is the venison season, and as
the days are all too few in which we
can buy and eat the deer flesh with
out violating the game laws, it be-
hooyes us now to partake of this meat
as freely and as frequently as oppor-
tunity offers. AS there is practically
no part of deer that is not good to
eat, If properly cooked, the choice of
the diner ranges from steak to outlet
and from roast to stew. For ven-
ison stew take three or four pounds
of venison and cut it into pieces that
are not too small. Melt some butter
in a saucepan and fry the meat for
few minutes, or until 1t has Drowned
slightly on all sides; then put 1t into
the stewpot with a little more than
enough cold water to cover 1t. Add
eight or ten onions, halving or quar-
tering them If they are too large, and
season with both salt and celery salt.
Don't let the meat cook too quickly,
but when it is tender-it should take
couple of hours-add half a dozen
picked walnuts that have already
been mashed to pulp and about two
tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup.
Thicken with -four and serve.
In preparing venison steak for the
table have the meat cut thick--an
inch and half is not too thick, and
some like it thicker Let it lie in a
cool place, but not actually on ice,
for twenty-four hours When ready
to cook heat an iron skillet until it Is
almost red hot, put the steak upon
it, and after it has broiled for two
minutes on one side turn it and cook
1t on the other side. At the expiration
of the four minutes reduce the heat,
grease the skillet literally with but
ter, and let the steak cook slowly for
fifteen or twenty minutes, according
to it's thickness. In serving use no
seasoning but ordinary pepper and
salt, unless little more butter should
be needed.
Although venison outlets are also
good when cooked in this way, Wal
lace Irwin recommends another meth
cd of preparing them. He trims the
outlets, puts them in an earthen dish,
and covers them with a specially pre-
pared marinade. After they have
been in this for twenty-four hours
they are wiped dry, larded and
broiled over a brisk fire. To prepare
the marinade Mr. Irwin takes four
tablespoonfuls of vinegar, same guam
tity of grape juice. one small chopped
onion, two bayleaves. four cloves, a
blade of mace and two sprigs of pars-
ley to each pound of meat This mix
ture is then put over the fire, and as
soon as it comes to the boiling point
Is poured over the venison New
York Times.

CHAPTER Nv.
A FAITHFUL TRUSTEE.


If, gentle reader, you are proposing
to embark on career OF what the
harsh world too readily calls crime.
and judges reward with a term of
seclusion, would you rather carry it
on secretly, or would you take your
wife into partnership? 1t is question
which cannot be lightly answered, be-
cause the answer must depend in great
! measure on the character and dispo-
sition of the lady. For there are wives
who like eminent statesmen when
they suddenly and brazenly veer,
round and give the lie to all that they
have hitherto said and taught and
professed, are ready to aver that the
thing is the only right thing to do, and
to cover it up with a gliding of fair
words and pretense, so as to make 1t,
appear most beautiful, virtuous and
unselfsh. Other wives there are again
who can never be brought to see any
thing but the naked ugliness of the
thing standing oMein front Of the writ,
ten law, and refuse any assistance, and
80 llleldHCLOly anu
You will now hear, II you have the
patience to follow up this narrative,
what happened to man who adopted
a certain course of action without his
wifes knowledge and consent previous
ly obtained. l do not know, that Is to
say, what Harriet Rolfe would have
said, or what cooperation she would
have afforded her husband. Perhaps.
the path which opened out before him,
showing such vistas Of ease and de-
light, might have attracted and tempt
ed her as well-but l do not know.
Meantime it is curious speculation
to think of the difference it might have
made had Harriet herself been con-
senting partNsto the line adopted.
1t was not a deep-laid conspiracy.
brooding. Not at all; it grew out of
small beginnings, and was developed,
as such things often are, by the assist
ance of unforeseen circumstances.
James Rolfe knew perfectly we'll that
he would get nothing from his uncle's
will, and was not in the least surprised
when he learned its contents. The his
tory of five years spent as an articled
| clerk in the Office, and five more spent
in acquiring experience at the cost of
his patrimony, caused his uncle to re-
solve that his nephew should be left to
make his own way in the world. This
! shows what high opinion he had
formed of his nephew. Further, on
several occasions he communicated this
0pinion to James.
Therefore when Tom proposed that
he should prove the will and take over
the management Of the property,
James considered it the greatest piece
of luck which had ever befallen him.
At first he sat down, the papers be-
fore him, with all the zeal which one
expects of man paid by the hour in
stead of by the job, without limit as
to time. He began by investigating the
circumstances connected with (. the
trust-money, something of which he
already knew.
Next he made, as he thought, the dis
covery that the whole estate was not
more than sufficient to discharge the
trust.
He communicated this unpleasant
discovery to Tom as fact about
which there was no doubt. 1t had the

Newspapers and Money-AIaking.

Newspapers, 1t seems--NeW York
newspapers, at any rate-should re.
ceive more credit than they get for
being in business solely to do good
Or in some cases to raise hob
and not from any sordid purpose to
make money. Mr. John Norris Is
an authority whom we find quoted
as declaring in behalf of the news
paper publishers of New York, that
there is hanging over sixteen of them
an increase of three million dollars
a year in cost of production. This
three millions of added expense he
divides into $2,160,O00 for white
paper; 100000 additional for COM
postors, 100000 for stereotypers,
and 100000 for other labor. Not
more than four papers of the sixteen,
Mr.. Norris says, can meet this in
creased expense and still make both
ends meet. Mr. Norris thinks the
daily-newspaper business is the most
precarious venture going. Ninety per
cent. of the newspapers circulated in
New York he finds to be one-cenr
papers. The newsdealers, Mr.. Norris
says, make a vast deal Of money out
rsUs the New York papers-$1, 100000
from the World alone; organized
labor takes an enormous sum from
them in tribute and wages-$2,5D0,-
600 a year being paid for labor by
the World alone; but the returns 70
capital invested in the newspaper
business Mr.. Norris considers so un-
satisfactory as to imperil the liberty
of the press. All of which brings 1t
into the forum Of discussion how
long the present one-cent papers can
continue to be sold for one cent One
cent buys at least a third less of most
commodities than IL did when one
cent newspapers began to be the
fashion, bat it buys more newspaper
now than eyer.--Harper Weekly
