W e like good ~ 1.eak, and I will tell you how we manage l,o get it in about twenty minutes after th ·' tire is lighted on a cold winter's morning. We bul'n woo1 L If we didn't w e would burn enough t o have steak. The fire is lightened in the cook stove, and as soon as the first few sticks of wood burn well clown and t he kettle is simmcrinir two or three shovelfuls of charcoal are thrown i n, and in five min ntes we have the nicest becl of live coals one could wish for. The steak is thrown d irectly on the co<tls and is turnecl rapidly with a couple of long toasting forks till clone to suit. I t is very little cost and less trnuble. Charcoal costs only from 15 to 2-0 cents per bushel, and a bushel lasts a long time for this purpose. One who has always eaten steak fried in l ard in a skillet has yet to learn what good Canadian beef is. The average boardinghouse cook bas a peculiar rnle for cooking steak. VVhen she gets up in the morning she p uts a "lump of lard the sfae of a walnu t in a cold skillet, puts the steak in on top of that, and another lump on the steak, puts the skillet on the stove, an cl t hen lights the fire." If the fire were lighted fi rst it would break t he charm. If you will cook steak in a skillet h twe it (the skillet ) smoking hot , pL1t in the steak wit hout <my grease, turn it five times t he fi rst ten seconds, and after that turn it often, aud you will have a goud fair steak; hut not as good as broiled on the coals.

At the en cl of th>~t time cut oIT t he hank bone and rub Lhe n'.ca~, if nece~sary, with a cl?.th. Put it rnto a l.arge saucepat; .vi holung water ; let it boil fast for two minut es, in order to h ard en the outside and so retain ,111 the juices; then drnw the pan 011 one side and allow t h e mcitt to gently simmer until sufficiently cooked. Fifteen minutes must be allowed for every pound and fifteen m in· utes over. Some persons like small, w hole turnips boiled in the liquor with the mut· ton and arranaed neatly round the edge of . the 'cl'ish for a garnish, while others pr efer to have t he meat served alone, accompanied b y caper sau ce.

Potato mold is an exceedingly pretty dish and very easily made.

This is a very dainty way of serving pot atoes and ma kes a nice change from the ordinary mashed potatoes. MASHED PA RSNU'S.- The parsnips require to he well washed and scraped; if large, cu t them in two or t hree pieces and put them into a saucep an of boiling water, slightly s,_.,Jted.

In the course of this mar ch the troops became ragged and straggled, and an attack by the :French would have been au awkward matter. The duke, however, says Sir ] 'rancis Hastings Doyle, in his recently-p ublished Reminiscence.;, gave his orders with perfect coolness, and then went on t o say, "Now I shall go to bed." 'To bed, my lord ~·was th e somew ha· anxious comment. "But wlw.t if the French attack us during the night ?" " Oh, dear, no," he said-"we are are quite safe from a.ttack t ill t en o'clock to-morrow morning !" The troops as they came up were properly d isposed of, th e requisit e vreparations made a.nd everybody looked out for the coming ten o'clock. Accordingly, just as had been p redictec l, shortly after t hat h our the French nmde their appearance in force, and endeavoured to wrest from t he British troops the advmitage gained by that s uccessful march. They were howev.e r baffled and d riven back. General Alava ventured to p ut this question to t l1e duke-" .Might I ask, my lord, bow you knew t hat the J·'rench would not attack us till ten o'clock in the morning l" "Oh, certainly !" was the answer. " As we vrere riding through such and such a v ass, did not you see three French vedettes gallop off as hard a8 they could?" "No,"said Alava, with hi~ eyes and mouth wide open. "But I did ," retorted W ellington; "and I felt at once what would happen. Those fellows went off and reported to Soult that they had seen me their in p erson, and I knew Soult well enough to he sure of his course. He would summon a council of war as soon as possible ancl tell them , 'If Lord " Wellington is there in person, he must have got up his reserves, Before a ttac:king him I must get up. mine ;' and , as for his reserves, I am quite certain that they could not he got up t o act against us till ten in the morning, therefor e I took things easily and went to bed."

' ' It is strange how hard it is for a p eraon who has been asleep aud has wak ed up again to judge how long he has slept," said an aged Baptist minister to me to-d ay. "Severn.l clays ago I attended a Baptist r evival in the mountain r egion of Virginia, where t he :£lOpulation was sparse, where i·eligions privileges wer e scan t, and whox·e preach ing was a great treat to the p eople. Not cont ent with three sermons a day at t he meet ing -house, a number of preaching services wer e held at different privat.e houses, in the evenit~g. One e vening a young brot her named Smith was UJJpoiuted t o p reach at a private house, and I was reqnested. to go along , to give him counteuanco, and to follow him wit h an exhort a tion. A goodly congregation, for those parts, assembled , and everything wen t well until Bro. Smith took his text and started to preach. J3ut t he weather was w11rm, itncl I had worked very lrnrd . all day and was very sl eepy; and as I had tilted my clrn.ir agait1st t he wall anclhad taken a perfectly easy postnre, I instan t ly sank into a p rofound slumber. \ Vhen I awoke a br ot her was jogging me and saying. ' \Von 't y ou make some r emark?' I looked around, and to my iistoni shmen t Brother Smit h had t ak en his seat. Wh[tt was I to do? I was to speak, and I hadn 't heard ii word of the sermon. Trusting to my t act and read y wi t, I r ose and proceeded as if I had heard every word. I said that I heartily agreed w ith the general drift pf Brother Smith's sermou, but that the la.tcncss of the hour forbade an y very extend ed remarks. I was about to launch out into some glittering generalities when every one broke out into a laugh, and I got very much confused and sat down. The truth was that Brother Smith had made a compl ete failure, iind hadn't spoken five m in ut es. I need har dly say that that was the end of that meetinl!,. TOILET ARTICLES.
