Horseflesh and Mule Meat. Horseflesh, ass-flesh. and even mule-flesh re now eaten in such large quantities in ance that the regular butchers who deal eef and mutton are getting uneasy. At; a. co fereuce of the trade, which is being held in Paris, one of the principal subjects for iscussion was the manner in which hh competition of the horse-butchers was go be met. Chopped Pastaâ€"Use pastry flour of course and chop one cup of butter into one pint oi flour with one teaspdonful of salt until well mixed. Moislen with ice water until it is a stiflr dough then roll very thin. Now roll up like a jelly roll and keep on ice until ready to use. In making this aste you can roll it out in any direction but do this by patting it; with short strokes. There is no particular advantage in a glass :- lling pin; a wooden one with a revolving ro or is better than the old fashioned one ' atation ary roller. in fitting the paste lat/e full it on so that in will not fzom the plate in baking ; have the 1: War. ulled also. tre to roll the butter and roll each way.

Roll out a second piece of butter and add to the paste after it has con rolled out again; repeat for the thi d piece. Roll pufl‘ paste iro n you the w ole length but towards you only sufficient to keep it in shape. Use short quick pats of the rolling pin. Don’t try to roll pull paste on a sticky board: keep it so well chilled that it will not stick. After all the butter is rolled in set it away to chill then roll out and fold over seven times, setting it away on ice whenever it shows signs of being warm. This folding over and patting out into a. sheet and refolding so many times is to include air which should show itself in blisters all over the surface as the paste is being rolled. raisinsrstoned and chopped, one half cup of cut-rants, two tablespoonfula of butter, one tablespoonful oi molasses. one table- apo min) of boiled cider, one cup of sugar, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one half bea- spoonful of cloves, one half nutmeg grated, one salt spoonful of mace, one neaspoonful of salt. Add enough of the stock in which the meat was cooked to moisten. Heat gradually to the boiling point and simmer one hour. Then add one cup of chopped meat and two tablespoanfuls of barMy jelly. Cook fifteen minutes longer. This mince meat, was baked in chopped paste with a. rim of puff paste.

WVashiug the butter is of great importance; this is done, not to take out the sslt but to take out the buttermilk which would make the pastry tough. Scald the bowl with boiling water then fill it with ice water, this makes it very smooth; then scald your hands by putting them in to the same water first dipping in the finger tips then the palms of the hands ; afterwards dip the hands in ice water. Wash the butter by queezing it in the bowl of ice water; divide into three parts if a half pound is used. Pa. each one-of these pt rtions between hands until no moisture exudes and the butter is waxy. Put the butter sin a (1 filled with ice, then set at- sn of ice on top of the butter.

In using h ll the rule use half of the egg yolk and le on juice : put these ingredients and the 831 directly into the flour and add the ice we r to the centre of the mixture. Roll out thé paste into a long sheet. Flour the board-generously and lay on one piece of the chilled butter, sprinkle this well with flour. and roll out 8.8 thin as possible. Now if the butter was not well washed and well \chilled you will have trouble.

The Congress also expressed a unanimous opinion in opposition to the special military butcher’s stores, their view being that Lhe supply of meat should he left- Lo private enterprise. With regard to he trade iu preserved meats for the use of the army, which was not lost sight of, the Govern- ment was called upon, in the interests of the French dealers (but, not, of course, of the poor French taxpayers), not, to give contracts to any foreign firms.

In his speech of welcome the Lord Mayor and that: Mr. Irving and Miss Terry had done more than any others to refine the stage and make it; an educator of the people.

From the Lindsay Post. There are few men better known in Vic- toria county than Mr. Richard Fitzgerald, who was one of the first settlers of the township of Garden. He was elected to the honorable position of reeve of that township for twelve successive years, and filled the position with so much acceptance to the people that he was pressed to continue in office for a. longer time, but was compelled to decline the honor. It therefoie goes without Saying that Mr. Fitzgerald is not only known to all the resxdents of the township, but that his word is considered by those who know him to be as good as his bond, and that upon anything be may say the most implicit confidence may be pltcfid- W, L ___L, ‘â€" When young, a. stronger or more hearty man could not be found, but possessed of an iron constitution, he (lid what too many are prone to do, neglected his health. and exposed himself to all sorts of weather, often in the pursuit of his calling as a farm- er,being Wet to the skin for hours at a time. A little over seventeen years ago he found that he had contracted rheumatism of a. muscular form, and each succeeding day found him in a worse condition. He applied to the local doctors in his neighborhood, but received no relief, and was then induced ‘ by them to apply for admission to the general hopital at Toronto for treatment, and was in that institution for several months, until he became disheartened at the want of success attending his treatment and returned home, as was thought, to die. By this time the muscles of his body had become so contracted that he could not sraighten his limbs, and was forced to spend the greater part of his time in bed, and when able to get around at all it was only with the aid of 8. stout pair of crutches. When he attempted to raise to his feet his legs would crack at the knees like sticks of wood, caused, as the doctors told him, by the fluid in the joints being completely dried up. He was constipated to a fearful degree. When he retired at night there was not sufiicient blood in his veinsto keep him from feeling intensely cold, and in order to keep him warm his daughter knitted him woolen leggings and lined them with soft wool. Several times his family, a portion of whom reside in Michigan, were summoned home to see their father for the last time, as he was thought to be on his death-bed. Finally, after suffer- ing as much bodily pain as would have killed an ordinary man, and at a time when he had not set his foot on the ground ior a year, he was induced by hi! son to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a trial, as he had heard of the many remarkable cures made by that remedy. It was after much persuasion that he was induced to give them a trial, as he had then spent a small fortune in medicines and did'erent modes of treatment under which he had steadily grown worse, and he had despaired at finding anything that would help him. At last he began the use of the Pink Pills and had not taken them long before he began to notice a de- cided improvement In his condition. Continuing their use he found he could get around much better than he had been able to do at any time for many years, and afterastill further use of Pink Pills he was entirely relieved from all rheumatic pains, and is now a wonder to himself and all who knew him. Mr. Fitzgerald is now 70 years of age, is able to walk to Kirkfield every day, and is enjoying better health than he has had since he was first afl'ected. most auspicious event of our lives. May God bless this whole noble natlon. May prosperity ever be its portion.

It is not every housekeeper that under- stands how to draw a fowl so that all the interior parts come out in one piece. A correspondent thus describes the process : First split the skin on the back of the neck and turn it back over the neck. Loosen the pipes around the neck with the finger. Remove all the fat that can be reached under the skin and lay it aside for use. When this is done,cut with a. sharp pointed knife from the leg to and around the vent, in order to open the chicken. Pass the hand up the hack of the chicken on the inside carefully till you reach two little ligaments near the wings, which seem to bind the intestines down to the book. Loosen them and pull slowly and firmly and all the pipes in the neck, with the entire mass of the intestines, will come out together withouteny breaking.

The fat of poultry should always be taken out: of the bird, because it gives a strong taste if cooked in it, but. it should be saved, as it has many uses in cookery, except, in the case of turkeys, geese and ducks, when it, is too strong. uoose oil is saved for medicinal purposes by prudent mothers, and that. of turkeys and ducks may well be added to the soap-fat can.
