Strain and season to taste. Stir in
the tiny squares of chickee, pour

mold will press it firmly together.
When hard and cold, turn from the.
mold, out in slices a half inch thick'
with a sharp knife and serve with
the garnishing of a spring of pars-

A good potato dish is made as
follows: Peel and wash and eut in
quarters half a dozen or more raw
potatoes. Put them in a saucepan
with a lump of butter and a little
water ; season with salt and peper
and cook very slowly, tossing them
frequently until they are soft. Then
beat them until they are light; put
them in a baking dish, cover with
grated cheese and pour over them
hall a cupful of melted butter. Bake
slowly in a muderate oven for half
an hour.
Few housewives try to do any-
thing with marrow and simply throw
it away. There are many delicious
dishes that can be made with mar-
row, which is a rich and nutritious
food. To use with soup, serape the
marrow from the bones and if very
cold, as in winter, try out some-
what, so as to make workable. Add
to the marrow one beaten egg and
mix into a smooth paste. Season
with salt and pepper, adding
enough stale bread erumbs that
have been sifted to enable you to
roll the marrow into small bills
about the size of a marble. Test
their consistency by dropping one
into the boiling soup. If it holds to-
gether it is all right, but if it falls
apart a few more crumbs are need-
ed.
Fresh milk coining from healthy,
well-fed cows and kept in clean ves-

CDRORATION CUPS.
The Ring Has Ordered 100,000 of
• Them for His Child. Guest.
The great .Coronation order for
the King is rapidly nearing com-

order was for 103,030 cups,

child guests at the great Corona-

June 30th, and for some -weeks past,
several hundred pottery operatives
at the Burslem pottery- have been
helping to make the royal gifts.
About half a pound of clay, from
which all impunities have first been
removed, is required to make each
beaker, over twenty-two tons of
clay being needed for the 100,000
pieces.
The cu -'s are being deeorated, not
with en.I.ary cheap "litho.s," but
by transfers from copper -plate en-
gravings. They are of fine ivory
porcelain, and on each appears e-
special portrait of the King (in Ad-
miral's uniform) and the Queen,
with their Majesties' autograph be-
neath.' The portraits were especi7" '
ally taken and the autographs spe-
cially written for the purpose of
these beakers. In addition the
gifts bear their Majesties' , mono-
grams, with the inscriptions 1 "Cor-

all about Miss Barry, el' nearly so.
I recollect that she, like most wo-

christenings, etc.; also, .when I was

frequently to meet her at dinner at
General Ashmore's, and we were

TEA. MAKING IN litOROCCO.
It's a Gentleman's - Duty and the
Result is Like a Rich Punch.
In his article on that little-known
Moroccon city of Rabat in Har -
per's, Sydney Adminon tells of the
ceremony of tea drinking with the
Governor, to whom he bore a let;
ter from the Basha of Tangier.
"Moorish rugs, in brilliant; bar-
barous coloring, covered the finely
tiled floor. Around the walls, rich-
ly ecrtfered cushions lay for one to
sit upon crosalegg,ed. The Gover
nor sat upon. one in front of a raised
dies. His brother and se nephew, a
young man who wore his fez rak-
ishly on one side, were seated near
him.
'Our party occupied the remaan-
ing cushions. In the hallway slaves
awaited. Behind the Governor on
the dies stood a hanclsomebrass bed
richly hung with silken turtains
and speead. Shereef explained
that the Governor rested there
when he would have no ono dis-
turb him, or he might honor a
guest by its use. On the walls were
several clocks in pairs, all gaing,
and all evrong. •
"We conversed while the slaves
brought e silver tray and tea ser-
viee of Tuelcish gilded glass, a great
kettle with charcoal stove inside,
which boils its own water, and trays
heaped with rich cakes. But the
office of making tea itself always
rests with a gentleman and is never
performed by a slave. The goo&
looking young nephew with the rak-
ish fez.honored us.
,"First he warmed the pot. Then
ho took a large lump of loaf sugar
so big that his hand could not sur-
round it, and thrust it into the pot.
A big handful of freshly gathered
mint followeel the sugar, and then
a sufficient quantity of the finest
green tea completed the (amaze.
The bailing water was then poured
over this, and for the usual five or
six minutes it was permitted to
stand. A slave then handed cia each
glass of, the fragrant amber color-
ed liquid, Which was very delight-
ful and wholesome, but more like
a rich, unusual punch than every-
day tea."
