NouRlsHINe BEEF DISHES.

l wonder how many careful house.
mothers know stuffed roast beef? To
make 1t get two flank steaks of gener-
GUS size, sew them together with clean
strong cotton and stuff bag thus
formed in any way you like. Tie up
the steaks. Butter them we'll over the
outside. Slip into a we'll buttered
paper bag plenty large enough to hold
them. add a tablespoonful of water,
cook in hot oven three minutes. then
turn on the heat more than half and
cook for forty minutes more. Very
heavy steaks may take longer, and
light ones a shorter time. Sliced
onions laid around the steak will flavor
the meat and the gravy. This dish
can be left standing in the bag quite
a while after cooking. Heating it up
makes 1t as good as ever.
Take four pounds of round beef-the
best cut. Rub over literally with but
ter or clarified drippings, but do not
salt, and put into a bag, which has
been thickly buttered, along with half
a can of tomatoes or three large fresh
ones, peeled and chopped, one minced
onion. one small red pepper, three
cloves and six grains of alspice Score
the beef lightly on top so as to press
the spices into 1t. Cover it with the
tomatoes, onion, etc.. and lay on them
lump of butter or dripping rolled in
sailed -four. Add tablespoonful of
vinegar and water mixed. Seal bag
tight, and cook very slowly for three
hours. A gas jet turned half down
gives about the right heat. Take from
the bag, pour out the gravy-in a
saucepan if you want it thickened
with Drowned -four; otherwise, in the
boat. The meat will be very tender
and delicious.
Yorkshire pudding does not abso-
lutely demand cooking underneath a
roast. To go with this round roast,
you can make it thus. Beat two eggs
separately very light, then add to
them alternately a cup of sweet milk
and two cups of -four. sifted with halt
a teaspoonful salt, and a teaspoonful
baking powder. Mix smoothly, pour

such. With quiet resolution he Gained
