Beefateak Pie.—Cut a piece of steak in thin alioes, put a small piece of suet or fat bacon on each slice, with a little minced parsley, pepper, salt, and any powdered herbs ; roll up each slice, lay them in layers till the dish is full; pour in as much gravy or water as the dish will hold, cover with a short orußt, glaze it with egg, and bake an hour and a half or two hours. Hints about keeping Meat. Powdered charcoal is a far more effective preventive of decay than pepper, or than anything else, as it will not only keep good meat over which it is sprinkled, but will remove the taint from already decayed flesh. A piece of charcoal boiled with "high" meat or fowls, will render it or them quite sweet. A small quantity of oharcoal ahould be kept in every larder for such purposes; it can be powdered and used in a pepper dredger. Hams, after bring smoked, may be kept any length of time in powdered oharcoal. Moat should always be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth directly it comes from the butcher's, any flyblows cui out, and in loins the pipe that runs by tho bone should bo removed, as it taints sooner than any other part.
