JeIIied Veal Loaf.

For these warm days, when meat
is hard to prepare and have it ap-
petizing, l have found this recipe
most excellent, ready for six o'clock
dinner, or on Saturday for Sundays
dinner:
Four pounds veal stew with joints;
after washing place in stew kettle,
cover with boiling water, and cook
slowly three hours Or more, until
meat is tender. When half done add
one small onion cut fine, one table
spoonful salt, and enough pepper to
suit individual taste. When veal is
done remove from the fire, but leave
meat in the liquid until cool enough
to put through food chopper; after it
is cut place meat in narrow bread pan
and pour the liquid over it. Stir well,
then smooth on top. 1t will jelly
and makes a delicious cold meat.

Pot Roast.

A Tasty Dish for Luncheon.-One can

suit. Bread crumbs about a cupful.
Break the salmon apart with a fork
and lightly mix with the other ingredi-
ents. Put this into a cake tin with a
funnel center and steam for 20 min
utes. This. will come out in the shape
of a salmon loaf. While the salmon
loaf is steaming prepare either fresh

minutes, and when done season with
butter, pepper and salt, and garnish
the salmon loaf on the chop plate
with the peas by filling the cavity
formed by the funnel and spill gener-
ously over the loaf. This makes a
pretty and appetizing dish that is es-
pecially nice in June, when new peas
are so delicious.

MADE OF CHICKEN
APPETIzING DISH EASILY PRE-
PARED BY YOUNG WIFE.
The Name Originated From the
Earthen Crock In Which French
Cooks Put Their Chicken
After Browning.

Chicken Marmite-This is q very
p~retentious and yet easy dish for the
young wife to attempt. Choose a good
roasting fowl of about three and a half
to four pounds. Dismember 1t and
soak after thorough washing In clear,
cold water. Dredge the pieces slightly
with -four, salt and pepper lightly and
brown ~delicately in lard or olive on.
Then put them in a deep saucepan
and cover with the stock, which u
be prepared beforehand by boiling the
neck, gtblets and feet of the bird In
water with an onion and saVord herbs.
Set the vessel over a slow ire and
cook covered, adding, when a quarter
done, n large ripe tomato, a green
pepper denuded of seeds and quite a
quantity Of paprika. Half a Glove OF
garlic cooked from the beginning with
the chicken will add to the taste. 1t
must be thoroughly tender when done,
but not in rags, and plain boiled rice
tanks the dish admirably. Marmtte
Is the name of the earthen crock In
which French cooks prepare chicken
In this manner, and sometimes the
fowl is put into it whole after the pre-
iininaTy browning.
Roast Loin of Lamb With Green
Peas-Have the butcher leave the kid
ney and fat on and skewer the piece
daintily. A piece six chops long will
be required, for the bit dwindles away
with cooking. Dredge with a little
-four, salt and pepper and start the
roasting with brisk heat, moderating
1t for the finish.
If canned peas Q used open them
up and drain in a colander, flushing
them while there with cold water.
Drain and put in a saucepan with
salt, pepper, and a big tablespoonful
of butter. Cook covered for five min
utes, and serve them in a trim border
around the lamb on a hot fat plat
ter.

WAYS TO COOK HAM
PREPARED IN SOUTHERN STYLE
MEAT is DELICIOUS.
MARYLAND Has a Recipe That 10
Slightly Different From Method ~
Which Dixie Housewives
Prepare IL.

There are few more delicious dishes
than Virginia ham cooked as the Dixie
housewives cook it. If you have been
fortunate enough to get a Virginia
ham cured as they cure 1t you are to
be congratulated.
Soak in cold water over night, or,
if very salty, for "a hours, then scrub
thoroughly and put to boil in cold wa
ter. Cook very slowly until tender.
Remove the skin, which should come
of easily; then prepare a dressing
made from n beaten egg, two
~spoonfuls brown sugar and rolled
cracker or bread crumbs, all beaten
together, and spread over the ham.
Sprinkle literally with pepper and put
into a dripping pan to bake. Pour a
pint OF sherry over the ham and bake
and haste until the wine is absorbed
and the top of the ham well Drowned.
The Maryland way of cooking ham
Is a little different. The ham is taken
from the bag, washed carefully and
soaked over night. 1t is then put into
cold water and allowed to simmer
gently until about half done. When
taken out the ham is set aside to cool,
and when cool is skinned. A dressing
is now made ready, consisting of a
parcel of cabbage sprouts, a handful
of parsley and a slice Or two Of stale
bread run through the meat grinder.
These are all chopped fine together
and seasoned with plenty of black pep,
per. Incisions are now made in the
ham with a sharp knife about an inch
apart and extending from the hook
down the whole length of the ham
Then these gashes are stuffed to the
very bone with the green's. A wooden
skewer CONS into play in this stufting
process. Before baking the ham is
sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and
cornmeal and then set in the oven
after adding a cupful of hot water to
the dripping pan. Bake until brown,
but without basting, as the steam will
keep the ham moist. II the water
bakes away add more from the tea.

1870 form to contribute to the whole and add to the sum total of
KTsgA happiness and progress.
ES-l Woman can elevate man to a position worthy Of his deS-
tiny; man can exercise an influence over woman to those heights
Of perfecion wherein she becomes the exempIar for all to initiate in
nobility goodness and virtue.
Man in return has done much for woman. He has broadened and
deeneped her outlook on life. She imbibes from him a wider conception
of things and a more tolerant view in her ideas and opinions of life. She
sees a larger perspective beyond the narrow vista through which she
looks when alone.
A story is told of an Italian nobleman who in early life married a
beautiful but wicked woman. His life was bighted and he made a VOW
that he would never have aught to do with womankind again. He had
an only son, and the father resolved that this boy should never set eyes
upon a woman until he would be a fuI-grown mar and therefore wise
enough to take care of himself. The son was shut up in a castle until
he was twenty-one and then the father brought him out to a great banquet
IN honor of the occasion. Many beautiful women were present and as
the youth had never seen the sex before he askd:
"Who are these beautiful creaturcsE'

Short and Sweet.

Perhaps one of the shortest court
ships was that of an eminent jurist.
He was on his way to hold court in a
town when he met a young woman
returning from market.
How deep is the creek and what
did you get for your butter" asked
the judge.
"Up to the knee and ninepence," was
the answer as the girl walked on.
The judge pondered over the sensi-
BILE brevity of the reply, turned his
horse, rode back and overlook her.
II liked your answer just now," he
said, "and l like you. L think you
would make good wife. VIII you
marry me?"
She looked him over and said Yes"
'Then get up behind me, and we will
ride to town and be married"
She did get up behind, and they rode
to the courthouse and were made one.
1t is recorded that, brief though the
courtship had been, the marriage prov
ed pre-eminently happy one.
