Cooked Meats.

Boiled meat may lose some of its
best foodstuff properties if too much
water is used in its boiling or if it is
taken from the water in which it Is
boiling. instead of allowing it to re-
main and recover by absorption some
of its valuable properties. Eight
pounds of beef after it is boiled will
weigh six and a half pounds. After
1t is baked it will lose two pounds and
six ounces. After it is roasted it will
lose three pounds and ten ounces. 9th
err meat loses almost in the same pro-
portions when it is cooked. 1t will be
noticed that roasting meat causes it to
decrease considerably more than boil
Ing. One great trouble. of course, in
boiling meat Is that it loses nearly As
per cent of, it's mineral matter and IL
per cent of its fats and nearly 8 per
cent of it's proteids. Housewives

An Episode Of

When the Balkan states had expelled
the Turk and were anxious lest the
powers should intervene and infict
their ancient enemies upon them the
two powers most able to help or harm
them were Germany and Russia.
At this time Prince Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria sent a young man in his serv.
ice to the emperor Of Germany to of
fer certain inducements for him to re
strain Austria. This person was Boris
Meloff, a very determined young man
who. so far as strength and bravery
were concerned. was well adapted te
get the message through to Berlin.
Austrian spies were on the watch tc
checkmate any move Prince Ferdinand
might make. and Meloff was liable to
be attacked and his dispatch taken
from him.
