IilD i BIN. T-ie Drover's Arms, Rhewl. PETITION AGAINST THE LICENCE. FUNERAL DAYS AT RHEWL. INTERESTING CASE. At the Ruthin Just ices Court on Mon- day, the Rev Chancellor Bulkley Jones Presiding, Mr Aneurin U Evans, solicitor, Kuthiu and Denbigh, applied for the lull "fanstVr of the license of the Drover's Army Inn, Rhewl, from Mr Robert Roberts to Mr Wm Parry Hughes, late of the SWan Inn, Ruthin. Opposition to the application was raised by the Temperance P:irty in Llanynys and district, for Vi horn Mr Joseph Lloyd, nbyl, appeared. In the course of his opening remarks 1 r Evans said that he had just been in- clined that Mr Lloyd was present to ^Pp'ise the transfer. What the reason for this he was not aware at the pre- lIent moment. In answer to the Bench, the superin- tendent said he had no objection to make against the transfer. All the formalities having been oom- bed with, Mr Wm Parry Hughes was ^Ued upon as the appplicant to give evi- nce, He was he said the late tenant of the Swan Inn, Ruthin, a house belonging the Ruthin Charities, and he now pro- ceed tlie same testimonials which g%ve that license, and upon the faith that 8Q('h testimonials were correct with regard lo responsibility and character he hoped t Jey would stand him in good stead in re- ject of the Drover's Arms. These testi- monials were from Mr E Tegid Owen, patle Hotel, Mr John Owen, Penrhos ^rni, Mr John Roberts, Draper, Castle ^reet, Mr R Beech, Ironmonger,_Mr R H ?agh, BryD coch, and Mr O Thomas, Since he had been tenant of the Swan Inn there had never been any rnplalOt made against him- Cross-examined by Mr Lloyd There Jas a little land with the Drover's Arms, he had no other occupation other than tbat of licensed victualler, and would ^w-ays be there to look alter the place. Mere was no signed agreement with the ^idlord. Olt o you are there by verbal agreement on,ly?- Yes. What rent do yon pay ?—. £ 50 for the ^°Uae and land. Do you know what the rent of the use is alone ?— £ 20. I)o yon know what the rateable value of he house is ?—No, I don't yet.? Are you tied to anybody for beer ?-I et it from the Hand, sir. Mr Aneurin Evans No, he is not tied. Mr Lloyd Really, Mr Evans, you are in the box. Let him answer for ^self- Am I to understand that you get your only from the Hand ?—No, sir. &ut do you always intend to get it from Hand '-Yes. ■ to The Ciiairman Bat you are not bound get it from the Hand ?—N.q, -sir. There tte two front rooms open to the-public for Poking purposes. ) e-examined: When at the Swan Inn Was not tied to the Haod Brewery for neither were any of Mr Robert i Herts' houses. This he knew oecause had previously been in Mr Roberts' l^ploy. If customers asked for Burton they could have it. There was a very a'r trade indeed at the Drover's Arms, was used not only by people living °uod about but by people fiom distances i^ay. Improvements were also eon- ^plated in the property by the present I ner, Mr Robert Roberts, The Hand. In opening his case for the opposition t Joseph Lloyd said he wished it to be 4de quite clear as to what the powers of e magistrates were in such cases- They full power to deal with licences in just same way, not more so, that they had .hen dealing with oile application for a iieetice. He appeared, he said, on half of a large number of the parish- 4ers and ratepayers in the parish in >pch the Drover's Arms was situate— i^Jynys—and had in his hand a petition j^&ed by 57 ratepayers and 78 in- !jbitants who were not necessarily rate- l Jers, in opposition to the licence of the .°Use. No person under the age of 21 *8 had signed the petition. hMr Aneurin Evans, interrupting, re- cked that before the case proceeded Y further he should like to ask whether friend was entitled to put in any petition he might be allowed to ;6r to it, but some of those who signed be put in the box to be cross- ^Oiined about it. Advocate objected to petition being handed in. j.i Mr Lloyd said he was prepared to put petition in, and to put witnesses in the tl Who obtained and could speak as to lee signatures. At present he was only j-rcising the privilege that was allowed a ''citor iit commenting upon the evidence, 8t The Chairman thought advocate might It te generally the facts of the petition, then bring evidence to bear upon the toint. f ài Lloyd, continuing, said the names K persons signing the petition were ons of respectability, and he might °f responsibility in the parish. He witnesses who would formally put in e Petition and who would say that the Matures to it were fairly and properly ^innd, and it was for the Bench to say y it was right and proper that the t, es of those people who lived in that (,^§hbourhood should be respected, be- til uSe they would be able to show that by liv- greater majority of the people 109 there did not wish the Drover's to be licensed. Wk Chairman I think that this is fcjj. r opening up a national question. I you had better state the grounds Vv^,c^1 h°usfe 19 objected to. r Lloyd The first is that it is not i litSar^ ^or ne'8bbourhood. I HQ-* Evans The house is not for the ;gbbourhood only but for the public at e ijj Chairman [Is this the only house .*?»t neighbourhood ? Evans; Yes, Mr Lloyd said he was not arguing thai all houses should be closed, but he was arcruing that this house was not required, a,,d could not be required, because there was the petition signed by 57 ratepayers and 78 inhabitants who did not require it. What therefore was the house required for ? The Chairman It only says that in their opinion the house was not required. Mr Lloyd It shews their opinion of the matter. Mr Evans Yes, the opinion of teetotallers, sir. After further argument, Mr Lloyd continuing, said that evidence would be required to shew that the house was really necessary. The rateable value of the house was only R 12. It was only a small cottage with two little rooms open k> the public. There was no demand for the house by the parishioners, and al- though his friend might try to make it out to be so, it was not the class of house which wculd be required by visitors. He need not comment upon the class of house t was therefore their case was that it was not required in the neighbourhood. The Chairman I think we have. the absolute power to transfer the licence or 1 not Mr Lloyd Yes, sir. I don't think there is auy doubt about that. Mr Owen Pritchard Owen, of Pontilen, was the first witness called. The Chairman If you are going to call all the petitioners I am afraid we shall be here all day and all night (laughter). Witness, proceeding, said he lived in the neighbourhood of Drover's Arms,— about five minutes walk away. He formally put in Jthe petition dated 18th October, 1906, and signed by 57 rate- payers and 78 inhabitants, which reed thus We, the undersigned, being rate- payers and inhabitants in the parish of Llanynys, pray that the licence of the Drover's Arms, Rbewl, be refused as we consider such license is not necessary to meet the requirements of the neighbour- hood, and that it will be to the benefit of e parishiobers if the licence is taken way." In his opinion the license was not required. Mr Lloyd Is there any stabling attach- ed to the house ? Mr Evans (intsrposing) Yes, for 15 horses, and I will prove it, just now. Cross-examined witness said he did not live on the main road to Denbigh but on a side road. The house was made use of on Saturdays and Fair days. Mr Evans The house is frequently made use of.—I know that persons have been going along the roads at night and their conduct has sometimes been disgrace- ful. You are speaking of Saturday nights ? —And I may say fair days. You don't know during the day time how often this house is made use of ?-I don't know much about that. Are you a teetotaller ?—Yes, thorough. (laughter). A thorough teetotaller, and on that ground you object?—No sir, not on that ground. Is that one of the grounds ?-No sir, I I am not bigotted. But you are thorough,' you know. How long have you lived in the parish ?—4 years. So your experience of the requirements of the parish is not very efficient ?—That I is all my experience. Do you know that the Cemetory at Rhewl is the only nonconformist cemetery I say for Ruthin, Bontuchel, and round about, except the one at Ruthin ?-I don't know much about that. You know this much at least, that within recent years the burial ground at Rhewl has been extended twice ?-I don't know. Do you know that funerals at Rhewl are very frequent 1-1 never counted them. (laughter). I did not ask you if you counted them. Do you know they are frequent ?-I don't know. Here is one of those gentlemen who 11 don't know coming forward (laughter). I see that your name and Mrs Owen's name is down on the petition ?—Yes, one as a parishioner and the other as a ratepayer. And your daughter's name as well ?—■ Well she is over 21 years of age. As you are a thorough teetotaller I take it your wife is a thorough teetotaller and your daughter as well is thorough as you are ?—Well I can t deny that. And being all thorough teetotallers you all three sign in the same house ?- Yes. Did you take this petition around ?- Part of the parish.. Continuing, he said he took the first part or page of the petition around for signatures. b He went with a gentleman who knew the parish and the inhabitants well. Can you tell me how many names you can testify to ?-No. Take Glanclwyd. Is Mr Jones a tee- totaller ?-I don't know. And the children at Glanclwyd, they have signed it have they not ?—I don't know. You have just told me that you took the front page of the petition around. Can't you tell me whether the children of Glan- clwyd have signed ?-As I tell you I was with a gentleman who took the petition round. After questioning witness as to whether certain names were not those of people living out of the district, and eliciting the fact that he could not speak as to all the signatures, Mr Evans remarked :_61 I see the signature of G 0 Morris. Is that the new relieving officer ?" Witness I don't know. Not only you don't know, but you don't know the pecple at all who signed ?- Well I know a few of them, but Mr Roberts who had been living at Pontilen knew them all personally. You will excuse me telling you, but you have the wrong lUan in the box (laughter). You ought to have Mr Roberts in the box. Eventually the Bench, by a majority, granted the transfer.

t Man Terrified of Woman! ( COUNTRY SQUABBLE AT G YFFYLLIOG. HUSBAND'S POLITENESS. At the Ruthin Police Court on Monday a tall. athletic looking woman named Mary Jones, of Gland wr-terrace, Gyffylliog, was summoned for assault upon Margaret Jones, Minfforddj Gyffylliog, on the 8th Gctober. I Mr Aneurin 0 Evans appeared for the complainant, and Mr Joseph Lloyd, Rhyl, for the defendant. Mr Evans said she was the wife of Edward Jones, stonemason. The de- fendant was a most powerful woman, and was a little older than the complainant, I who was 28 years of age. For some reason not understood defendant for some time had been offensive towards the com- plainant, and on the day in question the children of both parties had been playing together in a cart. Whether the vehicle was dirty or not could not be said, but the defendant complained that dirt had been thrown on her children by those of the complainant, who remarked that she could not always be with them looking after them. In the village near the defendant's honse is a well from which the inhabitants draw water, and on the date in question the complainant was followed to the well, where she was going to draw water, by the defendant who was in a very excited con- dition. She took hold of the complainant by the neck with both hands, and it was the defendant's husband who got her away, telling her not to be such a fool to get in such a temper, &e. Complainant was really afraid of deftn (ant. She now sought the protection or the court against a repitition of such an offence, because the well from which complainant had to obtain water was near the defendant s house. Margaret Jones, the complainant, gave evidence in support of her advocate's state- ment.. Defend mt throttled her. and hurt her very much. She also got wet. Robert Jones. a resident in the village, and a tall man, next appeared to give evi- dence, and in answer to Mr Aneurin Evans he admitted that although he was a mod- erately well-built chap he was rather terrified to come to court to give evidence. (laughter). As a matter of fact you had to be subpoenaed to come here ?—Yes, or I would not have come. Continuing, he said he had heard a noise on the day in question, and had looked over the wall to find out the cause but he did not see either of the women doing anything. Witness admitted hav- ing given evidence to advocate's clerk. Mr Joseph Lloyd here objected to Mr Evans' mode of procedure he was really cross-examining his own witness. Mr Aneurin Evans I shall ask the Bench to allow one to cross-examine him. He has told us that he is rather terrified to come here and give evidence. He tells the truth to my clerk and when he comes to court, be wishes to withdraw from that story, because he is terrified. The man in the meantime has been got at by the defendant. Mr Lloyd That is a most scandalous statement to make and a gentleman of the profession should not make it unless he has some ground for it. The matter then dropped, and the services of the witness dispensed with. Mary Lloyd, mother of the complainant, said she heard her daughter screaming, and she saw Mary Jones being pushed away by her husband. She saw the defendant run and take hold of the com- plainant in the back somewhere. Mary Jones' husband told his wife not to be a fool! (lautzliter). Mr Lloyd I am afraid husbands are not so polite to their wivies as they are to a third party (laughter). This had been a mere country squabble, and nothing more. Mr Lloyd, for the defence, remarked that the little children apparently had a little quarrel, and then the mothers took it up. As a matter of fact, the complainant had gone on to the defendant's doorstep, caught hold of each side of her skirt and danced a jig (laughter) at the same time calling the defendant names. The com- plainant bad a can of water, which she deliberately tried to throw over the defendant. It was then that the defendant put her hand. It was a foolish quarrel, and the case ought never to have been Brought into court. Mary Jones, the defendant, corroborated the facts related by her advocate. She had not followed the complainant to the well, but stood on her doorstep, and when complainant returned she threatened to throw the water over defendant. To protect herself, she raised her hand, but did not get hold of the complainant anywhere. Mrs Lizzie Roberts, a neighbour, gave evidence for the defence. Mr Lloyd I think you bad occasion one time to get Mr Aneurin Evans to I write a letter to the complainant ? Witness Yes, to Margaret Jones, her mother, and her husband (loud laughter). They are a rowdy lot, are they not ?— Yes, sir fearfully (laughter). After retiring for a short while the Chairman said the bench had decided to dismiss the case.

BREAD AND GAMES. The ancient Roman citizens demanded these two things as the main essentials of life. To- day it has been shown that one of the most valuable foods for the athlete, the football and hockey player or anyone whose custom it is to engage in vigorous exercise, is currant bread. The bread itself is "ch in the material for making muscle, and the currants not only render it more palateable, but contain an abundance of grape sugar, which is just the food required for creating energy and main- taining the system's vitality. The* King's physician is enthusiastic in his praise of currant bread as a diet for all those who tax effort. Ask your baker for White or Hovis currant bread and eat it every day.

A WHOLE Y BE CUTS, BURNS, SOALP DISEASE, POISONED SO tES, PAINS, & YIELi TO ZAM-BUK. Mrs. A. Y. Griffiths, 01 32, Liverpool L wn, West Cliff, Ramsgate, has met with some interesting proofs of Zam-Buk's wide range 01 t usefulness in the home. She said to a local reporter:— My little daughter suffered dreadfully with scalp disease for about six years. I first noticed an eruption on her scalp when t-he was oaly eleven months old. It developed illlo running sores, and I failed tp check the trouble at all. The doctor, too, failed to do any good and I then began to go to different chemists, trying all sorts of ordinary ointments, medi- cines, etc. I had to keep her head shaved, and che irritation was so bad that sleep was often out of the question for us both. I was told that no cure could be found for her, but eventually I tried Zam-Buk. The bilm soothed the irritation, ana she was soon sleeping beautifully each night. I dressed the scalp carefully and regularly with Zam-Buk for some time. The sores dried up at last, and finally the dry, thick, scaly skin disappeared, to reveal a clean, sweet, healthy scalp. He- hair began to grow again nicely, aud now, thanks entirely to Zam-Buk, she is absolutely well. My elder daughter had a bad leg for some time, and one week's treatment with Zam-Buk completely cured it. Through dressing his leg I got a poisoned hand myself, and one finger was so bad that the doctor informed me he would be compiled to draw the n.ul to save the first joint. However, I applied Zam-Buk, and within ten days the finger was perfectly healed My husband thinks Zm-Buk most valuable for swollen and painful toe joints, and I have used it successfully among my other children for cuts, bruises, sores, srrowing pains, etc. I have a lot of little ones, and Zam-Buk has been quite a boon to me Our home shall never be without the useful little box of Zam-Buk." Follow the wise example of the Griffiths family. Winter is close at hand and a budget of trouble from "chaps" after washing day, sores, chafiogs and burns, and other superficial injuries call for Zam-Buk being constantly at hand.

DAi\(ji^±tuUs -UutfiJLiTY. CARDIFF WOM'\N RESCUED FROM SERIOUS ILLNESS BY BILE BEANS. Debility means general weakness of the whole system, and is frequently the functional derangements of the liver, stomach, and bowels. At this time of the year debility is paricularly dangerous, for it leaves an open door to many prevailing epidemics. Bile Beans tone up and invigorate tbe whole system, and strengthen it to withstand sickness and disease. Mrs. H. Blake, who lives at 59, Vatchells Terrace, Blackmeir, Cardift, says Bile Beans undoubtedly saved my life. Two years ago I was taken suddenly ill with internal pains, which were so bad that I had to seek medical advice. I was in a very weak and exhausted condition for several months, and though I was under the care of two of the best local doctors I did not improve at all. The doctors told me that I was suffering from ab- scess on the liver, and that they could do no good as my case was hopeless. For many years I had been subject to severe bilious attacks, and these seemed to get worse. A friend at last advised me to try Bile Beans, though I was by this time convinced that I should not get better. But I decided to give the beans a trial. I had taken only five small boxes when I was quite free from pain of any description. It was really marvellous the way Bile Beans brought me rouud, for when I commenced with them I was as bad as could be. It is now more than nine months since I finished taking Bile Beans, and I have never been troubled with any pain from that time to this." A box of Bile Beans in the home is the best safeguard against illness. Take a Bean at noon and a Bean at night whenever you feel the least bit out of sorts you will find every Bean a boon. Of all chemists, price Is lid per box, or 2s 9d for large family size containing three times the quantity.

SUFFERING CHILDREN. It is a dreadful thing to see children suffer- ing still more dreadful when we do not know how to help them. Manv children are afflicted with eczema, shingles and other irritating and itching skin diseases, and it is indeed good news to know that there exists a safe and thorough cure for their troubles. Here is an example which, for children's sake, mothers will do well to follow:— Nearly six years after giving a testimonial for Doan's Ointment, Mrs. S. E. Cooper, 36, Carter-street, Goole, said :—" Doan's is a grand ointment for skin trouble. My little boy has keot quite free from skin irritation ever since we used the ointment. The following is the testimonial in which Mrs Cooper describes her son's case:—"I tried several kinds of ointment to give my little boy relief from the skin troubles he suf- fered with for many months, but none of them did any good. Doan's Ointment, however, has quite cured him it quickly eased the pain, and soon drove the trouble away. The poor little fellow was very bad before we started with Doan's Ointment. I can honestly recommend this splendid ointment, for I have proved its value. (Signed) S. Ethel Cooper." Why not obtain a sample and try Doan's Ointment? We will send you a free sample if you will send us (see below) your name, address, and a penny stamp to cover the cost of postage.

A FEW DENTAL HINTS. In con ruction with the reed-* Public Dispen- sary, uron tlio opening of an elaborately equipped deiitai department, specially for the poor, the following suggestions were freely cir- culated: "Avoid all rough usage of the teeth, such as cracking nuts, biting thread, &c. as, by so doing, even good, sound teeth may be in- jured. If you think a tooth is beginning to de- cay that is the time to have it attended to. Small stoppings will last a long time, and large stoppings will make a tooth useful for years. Children should be brought from time to time to have the first set of teeth examined, because I then the second set of teeth is more likely to be good and strong. Children should be taught to tako care of the first set of teeth from the earliest age. To give a child strong teeth and bones, good seconds flour is better than the very white flour for bread making; and, in win- ter, porridge is very good; and fresh milk is good at all times."

TO PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER USE. For every three gallons of water put in one pint of slaked lime and common salt from one to two pints. Mix well, and let the barrel be about half full of this fluid. Then with a dish let down your eggs into it, tipping the dish after it fills with water, so that they roll out without cracking the shell, for if the shell is cracked the egg will spoil.

HOW LONG SHOULD ONE SLEEP? This is a question which can only be an- swered generally, says the editor of the People's Friend. No hard and fast rule can be laid down-indeed, every man must be a rule to himself. One thing is clear, that nature intends everyone to sleep until the effects of waking are dissipated, and until bodily energy is renovated. In childhood, when the constructive processes of growth involve a large expenditure of energy, sleep is long and profound; in vouth much sleep is still needed; in middle-age, 'when decay and repair alone require to be balanced, less sleep is required; in old age, when repair is slightly and imperfectly effected, more sleep is desirable. The duration of sleep is also largely influenced by sex, Ifempeament, occupa- tion, season, climate, &c. The true grade is the recuperation of the energies. This is indicated by a feeling of well-being on awakening.

STAINS IN VASES. Deep flower vases in glass or china frequently become stained at the bottom and sides, and ordinary rinsing is found insufficient to remove the marks. The same treatment which is usually followed in the case of water bottles may be adopted, potato peelings forming an ex- cellent cleanser. A handful should be placed in the vase and covered with water. If left over- night the stains may be removed by rinsing with cold water.

NARCOTICS IN THE NURSERY. All sorts of dangerous narcotics are used in the nursery, says Annesley Kenealy in the World and His Wife. Sometimes the nurse is perfectly aware of the deadly nature of the re- medies she gives to cure a baby's restlessness, or the lack of sleep arising from teething troubles. But very often both mothers and nurses believe that the soothing mixtures, wind remedies, and nerve sedatives sold in such vast quantities for nursery use are harmless little preparations of dillwater and peppermint. In one of thA most extensively-used nursery narcotics, eacn fluid ounce contains half a grain of morphine, with a large admixture of alcohol. So that from the day of its birth an infant is inoculated with a desire for drink. His mental, moral, and phy- sical development is poisoned at its source by a powerful and demoralising drug such as opium is known to be. If he has wind, colic, and symp- toms of indigestion arising from improper or un- wise feeding, a strong alcoholic tincture of fennel, anise, and carraway seed is given as anti- dote, for these aro the ingredients of the baby's soothers" commonly sold. And he is a lucky child if there is not a proportion of laudanum added to the dangerous compound. Nearly all the preparations of peppermint put up for nur- sery use are saturated with alcohol; and there is little doubt that the seeds of a craving for strong drink are often laid in a child by the custom of giving nursery narcotics to "cure wind and stomachache."

BURNT SAUCEPANS. If earthenware vessels have been burnt brown in cooking fruit or milk, or enamel pans, or pie- dishes are stained, or if silver spoons are stained with egg, or cups with tea. damp and rub with a little common salt. By this simple method all stains will disappear.

WHAT TO DO WITH SOUR MILK. A most economical cream chee6e can be easily made out of soured milk, or. better still. of cream which has turned. If milk is used it must be set aside in a flat pan for the cream to rise, and then skimmed. The cream is then beaten in a bowl until the whey rises to the top. This is then poured off, and the curd put into a muslin bag and allowed to drip for six hours, but it should not be squeezed. It is then put into a wooden bowl and cut up finely with a wooden spoon. Salt and pepper should then be added, and the whole worked to the consistency of clay, with a little cream and butter, and then made into round "pats" or balls. This cheese can be used to make delicious savoury sandwiches.

CLEANSING THE HAIR. Constant washing is a wearisome remedy and does not materially mend matters, says the Tatler A good cleansing lotion may, however, be used daily with advantage, and there is no better method of application than with a small brush several sizes larger than a tooth brush. If the condition of the hair should be so dank as to make draseing it a matter of difficulty a little powdered orris root and toilet powder should be sprinkled on the centre parting and vigor- ously and thoroughly brushed out again. The tame simple and efficacious form of dry shampoo may be also resorted to when the hair has become very greasy and an ordinary bhampoo is for the time being impracticable. If the former method is carefully carried out the resulting effects will be most beneficial to the hair. The best way of cleaning black cashmere is to place the dress or goods in strong borax water, made lukewarm; let it remain in soak all night, then take out and hang on a line to dry, and, when dry, press off. Do not rinse or wring.

NICE DISHES. MEAT PIE WITH POTATO CRUST. Take six boiled potatoes, ilb. of cold meat, 3oz. of butter, one egg, one teacupful of meat essence, pepper and salt to taete. Mash the potatoes, add salt, butter, and the beaten yolk of the egg, beat all together lightly with a wooden spoon. Cut the meat into thin slices, trim off fat, season with pepper and salt.. Spread a layer of the mashed potatoes on a pie-dish, lay in slices of meat, pour over meat essence, add the rest of the potatoes, smooth over with a knife, and bake in a moderate oven for half-an- hour. Serve very hot. FISH RISSOLES. Take the remains of cold fish or some tinned salmon, breadcrumbs and e, seasonings of cayenne and anchovy sauce, lard or butter for frying. Flake or mince the fish finely (if tin be used h. it be free from moisture), mix it with one-third of its propor- tion of breadcrumbs, moisten with a beaten egg, and season to taote. Make into balls or rolls, dip in beaten egg. then in fine dry bread- crumbs, and fry a bright golden brown. Serve with cut lemon and parsley garnish, but a very nice accompaniment is some thin brown bread and butter. Time, five minutes to fry the :ris- soles sufficient for four persons; seasonable at any time. GROUSE PIE.—Fill a pie-dish w't|Va' „e „NJ layers of beef steak, kidney, mushrooms, and hard-boiled eggs, seasoned with f onion and a little pepper and salt. Th<?n tak a brace of grouse—old birds whicn are too toug for roasting purposes being excellent lor tins purpose—pluck and cleanse them, and then split each bird down the back. Lay them on the top of the steak and other ingredients, and cover with good pie-crust and place in the oven till baked. When rcadv. take off the crust and re- move the grouse, filling up the space with good gravy, in which a little gelatine has been dis- solved. Replace the cover and serve the pie cold, the flavour of the grouse imparting a par- ticularly delicate taste. GROUSE Soup.-Take the remains of any cold grouse, remove the meat, and place the bones and trimmings in a quart of good stock, and boil for an hour and a-half. In the meantime pass the meat twice through a mincing machine, and then pound it in a mortar. Then strain the soup, and add it to the grouse puree, sea-soning with a spoonful of mushroom ketchup, pepper, and salt to taste. Thicken the soup with ioz. of butter made into a paste with browned flour, and serve with tiny balls of forcemeat. i
