SERVING THE FOWL
TWO DELICIOUS WAYS OF PRE-
PAIRING CHICKEN.
When Pressed 1t Makes as Fine a
Dish as Could Be Desired
=. x.Steamed with Rice and
Mushrooms.

Pressed Chicken.-Cover young
fowl, cut in joints, with boiling water,
and let simmer until tender, together
with few slices of carrot, half an
onion, and a stalk Of celery. Remove
the skin and bones, and return them
with the broth to the fire, and let
simmer until reduced to about one
cup; strain and set aside. When the
flesh is nearly cold, cut into tiny cubes
or chop fine; remove the fat from the
broth, reheat, and stir the chicken into
it, adding salt and pepper and other
seasoning as desired. Decorate mold
with slices of hard-boiled eggs; in this
pack the hot chicken, cover with a
buttered paper bearing weight, and
let stand until cold and set. Serve,
sliced thin, with salad.
Steamed Fowl with Rice and Mush-
rooms.-Truss fowl for boiling, rub
with the cut side of a lemon and lay
on slices of salt pork or bacon and
steam with an onion and two or three
stalks of celery until tender-three
hours or longer. Have ready mound
of boiled rice, seasoned with butter
and salt, and dispose the fowl upon
this. Arrange mushrooms cooked in
the usual manner about the rice--
Serve with the strained chicken liquor,
thickened with flour and enriched with
two egg yolks, beaten with half cup
full Of cream.
JeIIied Chicken-Boil a chicken and
let it get cold in the liquor. Skim the
liquor from every particle of fat. Re-
move all the skin and bones from the
chicken and cut the meat into pieces
of uniform size Soak a half-cup of
gelatin in half-cup of cold water. Mix
with the chicken dozen stoned olives
cut up small and two dozen canned
mushrooms, also cut small. Bring
the chicken liquor to a boil, add the
soaked gelatin and when this is dis
solved take from the fire and set
aside to COOL When it begins to

ready to serve wipe off the outside of
the mold with a cloth wrung out in
hot water and turn the chicken out

claw settings. 1t is also a good plan
to wash them periodically in warm
soaPsuds, to which few drops of sal
volatile have been added, an exception

Veal and Ham,

To two slices ham add three
pounds shoulder veal, cut in serving
pieces. Remove fat from ham and
fry until it is brown. Take the bits
of fat from frying pan; fry a few
moments the two slices of ham, then
fry the pieces of veal until a light
brown. Remove from pan and pour
off all the fat. Add water enough
partly to cover meat; place veal on
the bottom, put ham on the top and
simmer gently 40 minutes. The ham
gives a delicious flavor to the veal,
and the cheapest part of the veal can
be made tender prepared in this way.
