The Humble C0rned Beef.

An American young woman who was
living in Germany for q year or two
used to be extravagant in her praises
of a certain sort of cold meat that was
occasionally served at a late evening
supper at the pension where she boarded.
Finally she screwed up courage to ask
the landlady what sort of meat it was
That answered the German woman
complacently, "is timed corned beef from
Chicago"
This goes TO show that ordinary food
tastes unusual under unordinary con-
didons 1t also goes to show that corned
beef can be prepared in so many ways
that il need never become montonous
and that good corned beef. canned or
fresh is a delicacy
If you cannot depend on the corned
beef sent YOU by Your butcher. corn your
own beef. To corn ten pounds make the
following corning bath: two quarts of
water, a pound of salt. cupful OF brown
sugar. and a tablespoonful and a half
Of saltpetre. Bring the mixture to
boil. skim it. cool it and when it is cool.
put in the meat. Put a plate over the
beef with a heavy weight on it to keep
it entirely under the brine. Turn it from
time to time and leave it in the brine
for six or seven days
Ii the beef You corn or buy IS very salty.
put it into cold water to cook after you
have washed it in cold water. If it is
not very salt. wash it and put it to boil
in boiling water. Then turn the heat
down and simmer the beef gently for five
or six hours-for ten-pound piece. Save
the liquid in which the beef was cooked
to cool it in. If it is served hot once.
return it to the liquid and let it stand
in it until it is cold.
Corned beef hash in some form or
another is usual way of warming cold
corned beef. This is one way Of making
it: Mix equal parts of cold boiled potatoes
and chopped corned beef. Season with
salt pepper and onion juice Put q
tablespoonful of butter in a skillet. melt
it and add the hash. Moisten with water,
cover and cook slowly, allowing a crust
to form.
Here is another corned beef hash: Slice
and shreed cold corned beef in small
pieces. Put il in a dish and pour over
IT little olive oil and lemon juice;
cover. and let it stand for an hour. turn
ing from time to time. Then drain it.
Put some butter in frying pan, add a
few chopped mushrooms. d little chopped
onion and parsley. pepper. salt a tea
spoonful of lemon juice and Il table
spoonful of sherry. Put in the meat
and cook slowly for quarter of an
hour.
Another good way to warm corned
beef is to slice it in thin. small slices
and heat it in well seasoned tomato
sauce. Still another way is to put
chopped corned beef. mixed with buttered
bread crumbs in boiled green peppers,
halved, and brown it in the oven.
This is a good meat loaf that can be
made with corned beef: Mince it, and
measure three cupfuls. Add a cupful of
fine bread crumbs, two beaten eggs. a
little chopped green pepper, onion juice.
and pepper. Shape it into loaf, cover
it with egg and crumbs, and bake for
half an hour. Serve with tomato sauce.

Scalloped Oysters.

Drain the oysters. In the bottom OF a
bake dish have a light layer of crushed
cracker crumbs; season with papriiia
and salt, drop bits of butter upon them
in equal quantities. Now comes layer
of oysters, similarly seasoned; next a
layer of crumbs. Go ON thus until the
dish is full or the materials are used up.
The top layer should be crumbs, with
dots of butter. Cover closely and bake
for thirty minutes, then uncover and
