sufficiently into consideration-the fact
that this instrument alone is capable

In preparing asparagus for cooking
great care should be taken to use
only the top and that part of the stalk
which breaks easily, in order that
there may be no tough portions in
the dish when it reaches the table.
(The tough portions may be used to
flavor soups.) Some people advise
boiling for some time such pieces of
the stalks as are used before putting
in the softer tops. 's..

STRIKE WAR IN BUFFALO

Buffalo, N. Y, April 8.-The In
ternational Railroad Company is en-
deavoring to break the strike on the
Main street line by manning twenty
five cars with strike breakers under
a guard of two policeman to each car.
The strikers tore out a switch at
Jefferson and Ferry streets in their
first attack on the tracks of the COM
pany. Strike sympathizers seized one
hundred and twenty-eight mattresses
consigned to the Broadway barns for
the use of strike-breakers and burn
ed them in a vacant lot.
Eighteen have been arrested so far
on account of the strike.

ABOUT "SPARAGRASS"


broken off it's succulent stalks in
early spring would have been censld-
cred like pulling up a flower by the
roots before it blossomed.
The fact of the great popularity OF
this vegetable with the French peo-
pie, who may be said to be the good
cooks and good eaters of our day, is
interesting in connection with the
traditions of its common use among
the Romans, a people who perhaps
more than any of their contempor-
aries made cooking fine art. Cato
and Columella spoke very highly OF
it, and Pliny described a sort that
grew near Ravenna, yielding shoots
so large that three of them would
weigh a pound.
The chemical properties of aspara-
gus, as given by DR.. Wiley are: Water,
1896; ash, 0.67; protein, 1.S3; fiber,
O.74; sugar, starch, etc., 2.55, and OF
fat, OPS.
Apart from it's excellent flavor, as
paragus has an undoubted value as
clearer" of the kidneys.
There is now manufactured what
is termed an asparagus kettle"
which is really necessity if the best
results are to be obtained in the cook
ing of this plant. A bunch is laid
on drainer, which fits into the ket-
tie, and when the asparagus is done
it can be lifted out of the water with
out breaking the heads.
However, in the absence of this
utensil, the next best thing is to exer-
else great care in the handling of the
vegetable. Endeavor to stand the as
paragus up in the saucepan so that
the green tops will be at least an inch
above the surface, in order that the
stalks may be well cooked before the
heads are broken.
The time for cooking varies &C
cording to its age and freshness, from
ten minutes to a half hour being
