TbeBari or Aberdeen's Jam Factory.
Toronto Telegram : At &et sight Lord
Aberdeen's project of esteblishing a jam
factory in British Columbia looks like a
theme for respeetful jests. Think below
-the eurface, and the scheme takes a nobler
appearance. It is a departure from the
line of activity usually adhered to by the
nobility and gentry. .Ambition might have
led His Lordship to associate the name
of Aberdeen with some glorious
but empty net of statesmanship. He

suffering for any handenade constitutions.
Lords and earls cannot invent new systems
of Government, or become benefactors by
adjusting imported laws to our needs. Lord
Aberdeen did what he could. He saw a
great stretch of country adapted to fruit
.growing. He had the ekill to see and the
33sDney to improve an opportunity, It was
easy then to adorn the wilderness with a
jam factory. Future generations will eat

ber with gratitude the illustrious founder of

lawa are forgotten.

Association Hall stage did not much re-
senible a lecture platform last night. The
proscenium arch Nem latticed across with
scantling from which hung the carcnssee of
a number of sheep, beeves, home several
deer an a motely assortment ot turkeys,
rabbits, etc. Mr. Adani llallentine's big
deer graced the southerly end of the stage
background and a Winchester rifle hung
suggestively across it. The top -dressing of
the lot was the banner of the .ananilton
Butchers' Association and several bucks'
heads. The floor of the platform
was turned into a veritable butcher's
shop A counter With marble slab
stood in the foreground earl the
reading stand had been removed , .to give
place to a chopping block. At either side
lay the carcasses of hogs,and butchers' tools
were promiscuously nattered about. Busily
engaged in the work of placing the plant
were a number of members of the Butchers'
Association,whe looked very much at home,
and the bordering of cabbages, cauliflower,
endive and celery gave the platform a very
market -like appearance.
All this preparation was for Miss Parloa's
lecture on "Merketing," and very appro-
priate,it was. The eight was not a good
one, but weather notwithstandiug, four or
five hundred people the majority of whom
were ladies, turned but. Before the ad-
dress of the Chairman, Rev. Dr. Burns, Mr.
John Wright, President of the Association,
and Mr. Adam Ballentine spoke briefly,
after which Miss Parloa was introduced by
the chairman.
After expressing her diffidence about
speaking on the subject of meats under the
butchers auspices, it being her first lecture
under such patronage, Miss Parloa ex-
plained how she had to make tracings of
the side of beef when preparing matter for
one of her books. Her plan was to write
her description and instructions aud then
submit them to :mine one who knew nothing
of the subjects treated. and if they suc-
ceeded by rollowie tip instructions she felt
that it had been mado clear enough. Re-
ferring to a diagram and a hanging side of
beef, she pointed out that the shape of the
hanging side was BO different, owing to the
stretching, from the standing animal that
a diagram from life could not be applied in
a description of the cuts from the carcass.
Everybody, rich and poor, wants the priuce
cuts. and none are willing to use those other
ones which people term "inferior." 'What is
meant by that? Not that they are not as
good, as nutritious. The movement of the
muselea increases the nutrition of the parts,
and the parts of the animal in which the
muscles are most in use are the best nourished
and most nutritious. Thiswas illustrated by
the neck of a sheep and the muscular parts
of the forequarter of the ox as compared
with the tenderloin and other favorite cuts.
When a chicken is desired for an invalid it
is not well to get such a very tender one,
the soup from one older will be more
nutritious. The same with mutton for
broth ; that from the ribs or tender portions
is not so nutritious as that from the mus-
cular neck.. The flavor is always better in
the lege or wings of a fowl, yet we usually
serve the breast to our guests. It is a mis-
take to get tenderloin for the sick ; it is the
poorest of the whole animal; although the
choicest cut it is net economical. The parts
nourished by muscular use secrete the flavor
and juices.
Here a side of beef was taken down and
cut, and Miss Parloa pointed out as it was
turned round and round, the methods of
cutting it in different cities, and
the advantages of securing the most
economical rather thane the merely
tender cuts, and how certain parts
should not be roasted, but braised or stewed
or boiled. The more nutritious parts re-
quire long, slow cooking ; all meat ought
to be slowly cooked sons to make it tender.
At the beginning the fire should be hot.
The temperature ought to be BO as to at
once affect the surface and keep in the
juices. If for boiling, plunge into boiling
water and boil rapidly for a few minutes
until the surface is cooked ; but harden
only the surface, then cook slowly. A
little girl's cooking of a steak, " one, two,
three, etc., to ten and then "turn," and
over it went, was used as an illustration of
how exact one must be in order to get a
steak well broiled. Meat to give the best
resulte ought to be cut by butcher and
carver across the grain. The rib roests
should be cut short, giving but little rib
with the roast; of course a higher price
would be charged, butt it would be fairer for
all. The hindquarter was then taken up
and similarly dissected, the value of the
several cuts being compared. The meat of
the lower pert ot the beef, near the
ought not to be cut with the ;
nor should it be roasted. It is tougber and
more nutritious. If beef juke is wanted for
an invalid get a piece of flank, broil it rare
and press the juice out.
At this stage four sausage machines were
set at work, the noise resembling e dozen
Westinghouse .engines. The meat was cut
and the slein filled before t he eyes of the
audienee, and at the close euch lady was
presented with a package of the product.
Continuing, after intermission, Mies
Parloa explained that flesh cooked before
the animal heat left it Patti rigor mortis set
in was tender; if ono: the animal heat
leaves it it will totbeconie tender till muscu-
lar relaxation takes, place, which may be
quite a long time. No beef is Et to eat
until it has been hung four to six weeks ;
better ten or twelve, although that cannot
be clone in ordinary temperatures. There
will be some loss of weight; perhape
little mold or taint to be cut away,
and this you will pay for, but if A costs you
3 to 5 cents a pound more it will pay you.
In warming over conked meat never boil it,
never' let the temperature eeceed 150' to 175';
if you do you will have it toughened, mikes
you boil it a long time again. You cannot
get good meat from an all lean animel ;
there nmet be fat and it ehould be cooked
on the meat, not in a way that permeates
the meat, but so as to keep it juicy. Rip
U p the Suet in an animal, and if it is clear
tred break:4, and crumbles in the fingers it is
good ; if dark and stringy and greasy, re-
ject it. No , matter Whether beef be large
or Small, if the grain cif the flesh is loose it
wilt be tough ; if compact it will be tender.
When first cut it should be of a purple ap-
pearance, soon thrning to red ; if it has
stood long enongh little beads of moisture
will form on the surface. The custom of

not be properly cooked. Steak should
never be cut lute than 1 inch to 1 inchea in
thieltaces, and it should never go into a
frying pen. Even in a gas stove it is better
to go into the ileum It ought to be broiled,
But if you must put it into a pan hew the
pan so hot that yoe think it will be ruined.
The best and healthiest way to cools steak
is to broil it over a clear bed of coals. But
if you fry it have a very hot peu ; Sprinkle
your salt on the moat, dredge it with flour,
which keeps in the juieea the salt would
otherwise dro.sv out, and Lite your pan with
it. Never pat a fork in the lean of the
meet—not even after cooking, until it is to
be served—always in the fat. When you
go to turn it, sale the other side, dredge
again with flour and On with it again. It
takes a little longer to fryit than to broil it.
The steak should have a rieh brown surface
and be evenly red inside. Usually you get
a hard, brown, uncligestible substance one
third through and a little red in the centre.
At the close of the lecture a few ques-
tions werni asked and answered, one lady
being desiroas of understanding why salt
and flour were used in cooking steak, and
being informed that the salt was to season
and the flour to counteract the tendency of
the salt by closing the pores ef the meat to
keep in the juices. Mr. Fearman also
related his experience of buying " sirloin"
steak off the shinbone, in Jamaica.

TEE SEDVANT DIEM QUESTION.
One Vrontan la Mew York Solves the
Problem.
The New York Recorder tells of a lovely
woman who pursued a plan to emancipate
herself from the intolerable thraldom of the
servant girl. When asked how she pro-
ceeded she replied: "1 simply became
veary of the struggle and resolved to end
t by heroic measures. So minded, I dis-
missed my gal and took up the care of the
house myself. The laundry work is put
mt. A woman comes once a week to clean.
I do the rest. When about my housework
I regard my toilet as a great consideraton.
One reason why women feel the degrada-
tion of housework is because they are not
always tidy. A housemaid who is neatly,
attired will do three times the work of a
sloven. Dress up the sloven and the rule
will hold good.
"My housework dresses and aprons are
the prettiest things that can be devised.
Am I ever taken for the housemaid?' In-
deed, no! My work instead of lowering
me, is lifted to my level I See 1 I never
work in a wrapper.
" Do I get tired?' Yes, to be sure.
Sometimes 1 get worried. But my 'recon -
citation gown' cures all such ills.
" This reconciliation gown' is 'equal to
the vand of Cinderella's fairy godmother.
It is made of the prettiest material I can
find. It is of blood-x.ecl cashmere for winter.
For summer I have three white lawn ones.
Very dainty they are. The red one does
not show soils easily, and there are different
slippers to ms.tch.
"When my work is done I array myself
immediately. No one ever ,catches me im-
properly attired. I take a ten-minute nap
every day, and then I am as .good as new.
I catch sight of my pretty gown in the
glass, and I feel Self-respecting at onde:
This is why I call it my reconciliation
gown.'"
The lovely woman's plan for peace of
mind and a well ordered household is
certainly practical. The " reconciliation
gown" feature of it is a stroke of genius—
it mist address itself with persuasive elo-
quence to every woman alive, because any
woman who is worth having stakes pleasure
in the dainty adornment of her person.

The case of the unfortunate Chinese lepers

made off the other. day. But though
ordered to get out of the hut he was

We respectfully ask your careful
attention to this statement, brief but
important, and which we will divide
into three parts, viz:
I, THE SITUATION; 2, TUE NECES-
SITY ; 3 THE REMEDY.
1st. The Situisation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up all the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and uselese
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The ;csty
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good blood purifier.
There are about 24cso disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
frotn germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
In Hood's Sarsaparilla is fcund tke
medicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forms has yielded to its potent
powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it, If you want
statements of cures, write to us. If
you need a good blood purifier, take
