The Art of Seasoning.

A good cook 10 know by her seasoning.
The French are masters Of the art OF
seasoning, but many American house.
wives know not the value Of bay.leaf
or sprig of parsley. Salt, pepper and
butter are the universal seasoners, but
besides these there are numerous savory
herbs and vegetables, which II used ju-
diciously, add much to the flavor OF GER
tain dishes.
The oils and other substances that
give to vegetables and herbs their flavor
are volatile and are easily driven OF by
too long cooking. In this way their eli.
feet is lostI or their flavor rendered
strong and unpleasant. Therefore such
seasoning should be added TO dish
near the ending of the cooking period.
Onions, carrots, turnips and celery are
the vegetables most often used for sea-
soning. When used only rs flavorers,
they should be tied together and cooked
twenty or thirty minutes and then re.
moved. The flavor Of fried vegetables
is much more delicate than that OF raw.
To prepare them, heat two tablespoon.
fuls of butter for one pint of vegetables
cut In cubes. Stir together over the IRE
till hot. Then set where they will cook
slowly one.half hour, stirring often.
Place on the hot part of the stove aud
cook few minutes. Drain butter and
add vegetables to the dish they are to
flavor. Garlic or shallot should never
be fried; nor should they be cut. but
should be separated into cloves and
cooked in the dish to be favored about
ten minutes and then removed. One
Glove is enough for quart OF soup.
The herbs most frequently used for
seasoning are parsley, chervil, chives,
thyme, sage, summer savory and bay
leaf. The first three are commonly
known as fine herbs. They combine
we'll with almost any vegetable or meat.
When used, they are washed we'll, plac'
cd on q clean board and minced fine
with knife. They should be added to
soups and sauces just before serving.
The "bouquet garni" is made OF two
sprigs of parsley, bay-leaf, q sprig
each of thyme and summer savory.
These are tied together and cooked
about twenty minutes. Longer cooking
will result in strong disagreeable fla
vOr.

Coal and Smoke.

Smoke is caused by failure to burn
the c0mbustible gases that arise when
fuel Is exposed to the fame. The edi-
tor OF Power describes these gases as
"a complex mixture Of various hydro
carbons. from some Of which carbon
separates on cooling In the form OF
lampblack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give OF tarry vapors. which con
dense and help to gather the carbon
particles into fakes or 'smuts.'
For the buculng Of these gases as
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be
supplied above the fuel bed. the tenn
perature must be high enough to In
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents OF gas and air are
cooled BY lowing into or among the
tubes Of the boiler"
Firing coal In large quantities pro.
duces 90 much gas that neither air
supply nor combustion space Is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put ON in small quantities at
frequent intervals.
