Structure. Upon examination it will be found that the tbeat from a loni: cooked soup bone will tear off in long stringy fibres. By the use of a microscope one can see that these fibres or tubes are composed of bundles of these hair-like tubes held together by a tough mem brane called connective tissue. Composition. These fibres or tubes are filled with life-giving mucle juice water, holding in solution proteins, mineral sajts and extractives. Effect of Heat Heat coagulates the protein. The ideal to be aimed at in cooking meat, tbereforo is to re move the raw appearance with Out hardening the proteins and the texture, and without the characteristic flavor of the ex tractives of the meat. To reach this ideal, care must be taken to expose meat to a high temperature only loug enough to coagulat the proteip on the outside and close openings to the tubes, then cook at a low temperature. The Expensive Cats of Meat. The more expensive cuts of meats?-the loin cuts?have nutri tive value, texture and flavor. 1. (1) Exposure to a high temperature for a short time coagulates the protein on the out side, and by that means the juices are retained in the meat for their ultimate purpose?building body Usaue and reparing waste. (a) In the case of a tender or ex penm ve cut of meat after the brief exposure to a high tempera ture tlie meat should be placed where the cooking will be less rapid until it is as rare or tender as the family desires. Broilioi. In the process of broiling, the beat is conveyed to the meat by direct radiation. Expose the meat to a high temperature until the outside is seared; then cook slowly. Broiled Steak. ?Out the steak frpm one to one and a half inches tbipk. Trim, and whip with a wet cloth. Broil over a hot fire, turning every ten counts, until both sides of the meat are seared. After both sides have been exposed to the high temperature hold further away from the coals and cook slowly until the steak is as well done ar you wish it. Season with salt, peper and butter. Pan-Broiled Steak Rub over the pan with a piece of beef fat to keep the meat from sticking. Have the pan very hot during the first three minutes' Broil the meat on both sides; then reduce the heat. Season as in broiled steak. Roast of Beef Roast of beef. 4 lbs. Salt, teaspoon or more A little suet. Try out the suet, put the roast in the hot fat, sear on all sides, then reduce beat and cook slowly in its own iuicea and fat until the roast is nearly done. When near ly tender add salt, dredge with flour, and brown. Then add one cup of boiling water. Baste the meat every ten minutes through out the entire time of cooking.. If liked very rare allow fifteen min utes to the pound; if liked well done, twenty minutes o* more to the pound may be allowed.

Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist. Sooth Mot Ready For It. The lower branch of the General Assembly baa gone on record very decidedly with reference to its position on the question of equal suffrage. There in practically no possibility of the matter again be fore the House at this session. This question is one that must come by education and force of circumstances. In the Western States its application has, in all probability been necessary and expedient, but here in North Carolina, where the home is rever ed in the South's peculiar way, and the woman is looked upon as the guardian of the castel, there is not so mach need fur the privilege of the ballot for women as in the sections where she has to hoe her own row.?Kinston Free Press. ?alp F?r Tk? tiral MmI Tiattsr.
