There was a hush in .the court

she officers who were with Bush, say
he expressed decided relief, as he ex-

There has been no motion for a

Doing This Well Is More Importan.
Than is Generally Understood.

There's a right and q wrong way to
crate lemon, as there is to do every
tnlng else. and. according to a cooking
.eacner, not one woman in a hundred
knows the right way.
Most OF the cases Of curdled sauces
and custards favored with lemon are
due to the fact that the lemon isn't
grated properly" she says. "a proper
~ grated lemon would present Just the
same appearance, SO far as outline is
concerned, there being no deep gouges
INTO the pith as is generally the case.
The oil OF the lemon which IS
wanted for iavoring Is all in the vel
low portion OF the rind, the white pith
underneath being bitter and liable to
cause curdling II used with milk or
cream. This white pith hasn't the
sHgntest suspicion of the real lemon
naVor, and still the average house
Keeper hasn't learned this and kesps
on grating into the bitter pith, and
then wonders why on earth the milk
should curdleI
The habit OF grating q lemon cor
rectly is easily learned whom once
ones attention is called to the matter.
The grating should begin at the end
OF the lemon and as small a surface
OF the crater should be used as pos
siole. This prevents waste.
The lemon should be turned in the
same way that one turns an apple
under knife while peeling. Grating
lemon properly is a pretty little
trick once it's learned, and It often
means success where before there has
been failure"
