Hints for Marketing

Good beef, when fresh, has fine | grain and is of a vermilion color, with a slight tint of purple on the cut surface, | It is firm, but tender to the touch, and | is so elastic that no mark is left after pressure from the finger The fat yellowish white, like fresh butter, and

a

is

firm. Sometimes the lean is slightly veined with fat, but it must have no flavor of suct. The surface must be quite dry when cut, searcely moisten- ing the finger. If a clean knife be pushed up to the handle in the raw

meat, the resistance will be uniform, ii it be fresh, but if some of the parts are | sotter than others, ithas begun to de- compose. When beef is lean, coarse,and sinewy-looking, it is old and tough.

Cow beef is coarse looking, and has white fat. Mutton and lamb should have a fine

The lean should be bright and the fat perfectly

grain. eavenly tiated and

white. Io mutton the lean is pale and red. In hanging mutton, ifit be beng

with the cut part up, instead of down as usual, the juices will be far better pre served.

Veal should have firm white fat and the lean have « pinkish tinge. If the barbarism of bleeding has been practic- ed the flesh will be quite white. Veal should be six or eight weeks old before it is killed, else it is unwholesome. Too young veal may be detected by a bluisb tint.

In choosing mutton or veal by the carcase the quantity may be determin- ed from the fat inside the thigh. If there be plenty of clear, firm fat there, the mest is good.

Pork, when fresh and young, is smooth and firm and the rind is this.

The lean must be of a uniform colour anc the fat white and not at ail streaked. Salted corn-fed pork has

pinsish fat. A good test for ham is to run a knife under the bone ; if it comes out clean and smells pleasantly the ham is good.

In choosing fish see that the gills are bright pink, the fins stiff and eyes clear and full; the seales and skin must be bright. Lobsters must be chosen by their weight as compared with their size. Whenfresh the tail of a lobster quickly springs back into position after itis straightened. A medium sized iobster, with narrow tail and heavy for its size, will be found to be choice. In buying part of a large fish its fresb- ness may be knowa by the bluish tinge ot the flesb and the irridescence of the cut part. Itis not fresh if the flesh be

yellow. Fiat fish, as a rule, keep better than round;should be chosen for thickness rather than for their size.

Vegetables, when fresh, are crisp.

Cucumbers must be perfectly firm and stiff. Celery breaks of clean when fresh ; if it be stringy it has been kept too long.

Home After Business Hours.

The road along which the man of business travels is not a macadamized one, nor does it originally lead through pleasant scenes and by we'l-spriags of delight. On the contrary, it isa rough and rugged path,beset with ‘“wait-a-bit,” thorns, and full of pitfalls, which can only be avoided by the watchful care of Cireumspection. After every day’s journey over this worse than rongh turn- pike road the waytfarer needs some- thing more than rest ; he requires solace and he desires it. He is weary of the dull prose of life and a thirst for the

poetry. Happy is the husband who can find that solace and that poetry at home. Warm greetings from loving

hearts, fond glances from bright eyes, the welcome shouts of children, the menv thousand little arrangements for one’s comfort and enjoyment that silent- ly teli of thoughtful and expectant love, the gentle ministrations that disencum- ber us into an old and easy seat before we areaware of it; these and like tokens of affection and sympathy con- stitute the poetry which reconcils us _ to the prose of life.

Think of this, ye wives and daugh- ters of business men! Think of the toils, the anxieties, the mortifications and wear that fathers undergo to secure for you comfortable homes; and then compensate them for their trials by making them happy by their own fire- sides.

Colonial Exhibition in London, Rag. L886. FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND FEET RESERVED FOR CANADA.

FIRST ROYAL EXHIBITION COM- MISSION SINCE 1862.

THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION

to be held in LONDON, England, cormmenc- ing MAY Ist, 1886, is intended to be on a scale of great magnitude, having for object to mark an epoch in the relations of all the parts of the British Empire with each other.

In order to give becoming significance to the event, a Koyal Commission is issued for the hold- ing of this Exhibition for ‘he first time since 1862 ; and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has been appointed President by Her Majesty.

The very large space of 54,000 square feet has been alloted to the Dominion of Canada by com- mand of the President, His Royal Highness.

This Exhibition is to be purely Uolonial and Indian, and no competition from the United Kingdom or from foreign nations will be per- mitted, the object being to exhibit to the world at large what the Colonies can do.

The grandest opportunity ever offered to Can- ada is thus afforded to show the distinguished place she occupies, by the progress she has made in Agriculture, in Horticulture, in the Industrial and Fine Arts,in the Manufacturing Industries, in the Newest Improvements in Manufacturing Machinery, and Implements, in Public Works by Models and Designs; also in an adequate display of her vast resources in the Fisheries, and in Forest and Mineral wealth, and aJso in Shipping.

All Canadians of all parties and classes ure in- vited to come forward and vie with each other in endeavoring on this great occasion to put Canada in her true place as the premier colony of the British Empire, and to establish her proper posi- tion before the world.

Every farmer, every producer, and every manu- facturer, has interestin assisting, it having been already demonstrated that extension of trade always follows such efforts.

New and Original Departure in Coal Cooking Stoves COMBINING

DURABILITY, HEAT AND BCONOMY.

This Cut represents my Patent Fire when a2 new tining is being replaced.

as it appears while being cleaned, or

King Cooking Steve, with the even, end and hning partially drawn out,

HE above Stove I invented and patented in 1876,and at the present time HUN- DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A large number have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances noue have been required. This valuable experience should be sufficient evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following :—It has, instead of a Linea Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with all Square Cooking Stoves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat being radiated from the Cylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a _ serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking Stoves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal sati+taction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached the PATENT TELESCOPI® OVEN to all my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c , causing the thousands using them to exclaim— My Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the same kind made by other foundries, The trade and retail purchasers will please bear in mind the fact that although 4 great advantage 1s claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other f.undry can supply. En- quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, and it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry.

I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Different Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Office and Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tinware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by any manufacturer in the Lower Provinces,

Terms and prices will be found as favorable as can be obtained elsewhere,
