little knowledge of philology would
have taught him there was such q

that literal translation often gives
different and somewhat ludicrous
meaning. But what he lacked in
knowledge was made up in enthusiasm
for his friend He translated boldly,
like the Reformation translators, and,
like them, arrived at similar results.

A SPICED ROUND OF BEEF.

For round weighing twenty
pounds, take two ounces saltpeter,
three ounces Of brown sugar, one ounce
of cloves, one nutmeg, one-haf an
ounce ground allspice. two ounces
ground cloves and one pint of salt.
Rub all these together and after the
round has hung four days, remove the
bone and rub the spices, etc, we'll into
it. Put in a wooden tub as near the
size of the beef as possible, and turn
it every day in the pickle that it
makes. In four weeks it will be ready
for use. When ready to cook, dip Ii
into cold water and wipe off all loose
spices. Cover the top of the round
with chopped beef suet. Make thick
paste of -four and water and cover
top and sides with it. Put in large
oven with a tea-cup of water ana
bake slowly for four hours. Lay few
strips across the bottom of the oven
to prevent burning. When 1t is quite
cold remove the paste, and trim the
outside.

STUFFED ONIONS.

Choose large Spanish onions. peel
them carefully SO as to remove only
the outer thin skin; cut them about
an inch off the tops, and with a sharp
knife make q large hole in the mid
die of each onion--or carefully re-
move the hearts of the onions. Fill
with the following stuffing: Cut into
small square pieces some veal kid
neys-others may be used, but veal Is
preferable-cut also into pieces same
quantity of the best bacon, chop
separately some parsley and little
suet; mix all together, adding salt,
pepper and cayenne 20 suit the taste,
mixed herbs, and if desired, little
curry powder. When the onions are
filled their tops should be replaced
and secured with a string or little
wooden skewers. Put them in buttered
pan and bake slowly, basting with
melted butter.

A Southern Woman's Salad Scheme
By Dorothy Maddox.

Yes, they're coming, twenty-five OF
them, tomorrow evening" said the tir-
ed-looking hostess with a sigh born
more of WEAKNESS than inhospitality.
"Of course they'll expect some kind
Of a spread after they finish cutting
out work for the sewing circle, and the
question is-what is the simplest thing
I can give them to eat?'
Chicken salad for a substantial"
glibly responded the morning visitor
And get a dreadful backache bend
ing over the chopping tray" objected
the hostess. I've done it too often not
to know what chopping enough chicken
for that crowd would mean. You see,
1 haven't any newfangled arrange
ment for doing the work But chicken
salad is such standby; nearly every
body likes it. I'm almost tempted-if
only ii wasn't for that troublesome
chopping."
The morning visitor gave a reassur-
ing pat TO the speakers shoulder.
We'll, don't chop it. Cut it-snip it
scissor it,"
You don't mean-?"
Yes, I do. I've tried it again and
again. Learned the trick from a South
ern woman who is famous for her
delicious chicken salad and does more
entertaining with limited means in one

year than you or / Will probably do in
lifetime. She's a skilled cook and a
crafty one. for it was she who devised
the scheme of cutting neat little blocks
OF chicken for salad with a big pair
Of sharp shears.
You'll find 1t mere child's play cora
pared to other methods. She was con-
tributing the salad for a church fair
once when her patience gave out-just
as yours threatened to do-at the
thought of welding a chopping knife
on so many bowlsful Of chicken. Sud-
denly 1t popped into her head to try
the shears-a bright, new pair she had,
for this part of the work. Ii proved
the greatest kind of a success, She
says she just sat comfortably back In
a chair and shipped and shipped away
at the firm portions of white meat,
filling the mixing bowl with trinity cut
pieces. very different from the stray
gly, ragged-looking bits that so often
find their way into salad through care
less chopping.
The celery she treated in the same
way. Besides its labor-saving advan-
results in the dainty uniformity of the
chicken cuttings"
The tired-looking hostess was smii-
ing.
Drop in tomorrow evening and test
the salad she said. You will be the
most welcome guest in the party
thanks to your culinary tip in time or
need"

To fricasee rabbits brown, take two
