How to Cook a Steak. Now if you only knew how to cook s. steak Wreaks it good that; would do, but it always makes me sick to see a woman look a steak. She invariable puts her fry- ing -pen on tbe stove, and puts in a chunk of grease about as big as my fist; and when it is hot enough to begin to crackle, sherbet in her beef, and never thinks of coverbg it. The smoke arel steam Worn it goes to the -very (selling. After the cooks it this way until it begins to look like an old rubber shoe sole, the calla it done. When you go to est it there Is no more taste in it than a chip. Novr, if you want a good bit of steak, have a clear hot fire, set your clean empty pan on a spot, cover it up, then pound your steak, and when yore pan le very hot lay i'n your steak, and cover quickly. As soon as It has crisped though to let go its hold on the pan, turn over and cover quickly; turn again as ab Oran and continue to de;. about every two minute's until you have turned ib about six or eight tfmes. Have a hoe buttered dish ready for it and lay it In; add a eprinkling of pepper, salt and sumer, and cover tightly. Now, if you wish a gravy, pat a bit of butter in your pan. iihhen hot, rub in a phsoh of ;flour, add :a email teacup- ful of boiling water, let it boil a few min- ute; then pub in a gravy boat Instead of putting:it over your beet ;to draw out the jace.

We can'b discover the fountainhead any longer. Nobody knows where the potato comes from; the native forest iteelf is dead. The aboriginal wild -potato seems as extinct in our day the wide world over as the dodo or the deinotherium. This is often the way with important food plants. Nobody can trace with certainty the ancestor of wheat or Indian corn, the primitive father of the plantain or of the banana. The fate is, whenever a plant lays by these rich stores at =Acrid for be own use, either as seed or root or bulb or tuber, man, greedy man, is euro to divert ib to hie own purposes as ruthlessly as he robs the bees of their honey and the cows of the milk they have prepared for their calves in their own udders. Every important human foodstuff is essentially at bottom a. seed or a tuber, eggs in the animal world answering to the one, fatted beasts answering roughly to the other. Wheat, barley, Indian corn, peas, beans, dates, and cocoanuts ereinstauces in the first direction; potatoes. turnips, yam, beet root are instances in the second. From the very firth moment, then, that the ancestral potato began to lay upstart:thee and foodstuffs for itself in its own under- ground tissues vremay be perfectly sore that rodents, monkeys, and other animal enemies did thew level beat to circumventits innooent (ledge by digging them up and incontinently eating them. Presently man, ae the red Indian, arrived upon the goalie and subjeot- ed the incipient and starchy potato to some rude cultivation. In ono way he was lees destructive, no doubt, than the rodents and monkeye who had gime before him, became, while he rooted up and grubbed out more indefatigably than they, he kept is little back for "seed " for the future. He out up Ws potato into many small Fleece with en " eye " in each, the eye being in facts an undeveloped leaf -bud, whence branches, would issue in another season. Thu he husured in some way the continuance of the plant; but alas 1 he only cared for his own equaive and papooaes in the unmediate future and took no thought for the convenience of the intruelve white man in this then remote nineteenth century. And considering how little the white man thought of his congeal- enoe some ages later perhaps his remittances In this respect isnot to be wondered at. At any rate, what the red Indian wawa to have done was haat this: As in almost every other ease of primitive agriculture, he brought the Wild plant into caltivetion and improved largely its 'special yield, but in so Whether he grubbed up al e wi owes and ate them on the epot or whether he merely encroached upon their open feeding grounds and so crowded them out,. as farms and fences are orowdbig out the buffalo in the far west, dew( not appear ; but what is certain is that the wild potato itself doe's not now appear either. We have loth all count of the primitive stock, eo that we can't go back to it to (noes it with its own degenerate descendants or to develop anew from its bar- bario tubers the encoulent regent or the ash - leaved kidney. Bee Battlers, At a recslet meeting of the DabliniPhiloso Phieal Society, Mr. J. M.

Should, however, the new arrival refeee the conetersign one may satsuma it to be a robber, and such a enese the sentries will immediately attack it with an angry, deter. mined buzz. Should the intruder be alone, the eonfilin will be short, and the opere.tion of throwing the memo of a dead bee from the edge of the flight -board will soon be witneeeed. If, as mese likely be the cave the attack be preconeerted, tae position will have been carefully reconnoitred, and ad- vantage wiu lemediately be taken of the confusion by a strong force of bees, which will endeavor to effect an entrance at another part of the openings The firth sign of wen. fare will bring down the whole force of the hive, and unless this be inadequate to realist tlae atteclibg party, the result indicated before will be repeated on a barer The outcome of the beetle will net altogether depend upon the relative sizes of the contending partiee.

Oeeswe, Sept. 19.—The seizure of the valuable landau made at Toronto wee under peculiar ciroumstances. Recently a Toronto millionaire ordered a earriege from a lead- ing English firm of carriage builders, the price agreed upon, including freight and duty, paid. The landau was duly shipped to Canada, and a Toronto bank was commis- sioned to close the transaotion £200 having at the outset been paid by the intending purchaser on account. The bank placed the matter in the hands of a broker, who, in ae. cordance with the leev, had to get the in- voice verified, and when it was presented to the purchaser he at once stated that there \et was a mistake in it. that the price charged was $500 less than bad been agreed upon. It was therefore sent to England to be veri- fied and came back attested by a notarial statement, the sum charged being the sante. The mattedwas represented Mahe Customs authorities and sazere followed. Consider- able speculation exiets among the Customs officials here as to what induced theEnglish firm to act as 1± hae done, causing annoy - awe both to the would-be purchaser klud the bank weith acted as ite agent.
