DASVILLE, 11, June 13.—~If your readers will glance at the bottom of this eplstle and sce the nom de plume over which I address you, they will understand the futerest I have taken fn the discussion carried on through your columns on * What to cook, and how to cook it And while the discussion ls Intended for housewives, ang those who intend to become such, yet I submit (siuce we must cat what the housewlves aforcsaid cook for us) that we “men-folks" may be allowed to put inourlittle oar, und I have perinission to give s fow hints how tu eat. The American people have been styled a natlon of dyspepties, and the appellation s n just one. No wonder!

And yet there s, as a general thing, o great varlety—greater than you would find Ina German, Englisk, or French honse. But then the soup is salty, the vegetables taste like cow-fodder, the meat {s raw or burnt to cinders, —there is always something wrong, 1 do not, of course, deny that some American housewlves muy get upgood dinners.

To the Editor of The Trivue. Cureaco, June M—There ure u few comton- sense recipes and rules which the young house- wife will do well to remember: Meat inust huve o hot tire always to start vn to cleatrize the outsidu and keep n the julcea, Avold sticking ufork in it s much us possible. When neees- sury to turn, If & roust, do it with theald of o clothy, tuking It by the skewers or bone, If Loll- fag mest, leg of wuttun for Instance, pour bolling-wuter over it oud skim tharoughly. Never expose meat to the action of sult while cooking,—It extructs the juice, and leaves the meat poor; but in making soup, where the idea I8 to extruct all the virtue possible, use sait. Beasonings must b udded to the gravy of the meat, which should ulways be thickened with a little tour; the old-fashioned way of rubblug flour into the rosst before cooking 18 u good one, or at least docs nohurin, A stewed beefstenk is deliclous and simple: Take a nlee steak (round-steake will do), from 1 to 1}¢ inches thick} put sume nice bw(-«lrlpphuiur lard into our *r)lugquu' when hot enough o siss, lay n your steak for one winute; turn for one minute louger, awd then just cover with eold water, sl when bolliug ‘skim 1t thoroughly; cook (b very pently and elose covered for an hour wnd a Bulf, turnlng occasionally, and add- fugg more water I necessary ol aceount of evap- orstion; then add pepper, salt, sutnner savory, or thyme i Hked, and thicken with Sour, Bome ke this served with fricd onlone, * emuthered,” ua 4t §5 cutled, but the better way 1 think {s to ke u ulee Hght pudding crust, und Lay right over it, aud covk twenty fulnutes with the cover tight on, For the pudding crust, tuke 1 small teaspounful of Hue chopped suet, 3 of four, 1 lieuping Leaspoonful of bnklu%' powder, 1 ‘of sulty wnlx with cold water; yoll it out till about oue fnch thick, und tsy on top of the steak und cover closely, .

Always stone the cherrles, 1 think 1t is a pity wedon't have more English uddings with our dinners. The Norfolk dunp- nu 7, now, is excellent, eaten with the meat; so {s the Yorkshire pudding baked under the meat; and the English apple-pudding can't be beat. Rice, too, I8 excellent for thu children, pre- ared this wn{: Tic the rlce ina strong cloth [oosely, and boll in salted water one and one- half Lours; when cooked it wil] be tirm enough to cut with a knife. To be caten withthe meat, Norfolk dumplings arc made in this way: 1 quart of milk 4 eges well beaten; sifted slour enough to make rather u thivk batter, and salt, Dip 512 pudding-cloth n bolliug water, and spread it over a large bowl; dust the hot cloth with flour, and pour the batter fng tle securely, and plunge into a pot o bofling _water; boll one and onc-fourth hours; dish it up after everything else Is ready, and cat with the meat. Insome purts of En- gland this pudding is served first with the meat ravy, befare the jolnt 18 brought to the table. %luwnvur, it is_nice no matter when you serve it. But in cooking all bolled puddings, observe this rule: Keep it well covered with water, aud never allow it to get off the boil. Yourkshire pudding is made the same way, but cooked differently. Remove your roast when nearly done from thie oven; pour the gravy from the dripping tin Into A sauce-pan, and pour the batter in the panj set in your meat stund, and place the meat g0 it will drip on e pudding; tweuty minutes ought to cook 1t; must baves good fiot oven.

P ILK.: 1 mustsay aword to you, In the first pluce, yout make ainistake in'the gender, when you apply to me the mascullne pronoun. Now, #sto the steak question. 1 adinit that brofled steak is excellent, if the tire Isilusl, rlgl';:.-l and the ouly proper fire Is a bed of hard wo conls or charcual, and even coke; but it Is vext to fmposeible to broll nicely with' either hard o suft coal,—the universal fuel {n this purt of the world, And housckeepers know how ditfieult it {s tohaven coal five just ready to brofl, es- ecially in the early morning, and how often, B spite of thelr Lest endeuvors, the gas and smoke will affeet the flavor of the meat. Now, Ispeak of the best way to do things with the mesns und uppliances ut hand, and the best way to procure uniformnly good results. I maintaln, and um prepared to prove, that stenk cun be fried to equul in flavor and juiclness any brolled stesk that ever was cooked. Brofiing is a good way (and I belleve has been instituted) to prevent jgnorant couks from over- doing it, und certalnly better than having it fried todeath. I am no theurlzlnE gentleman, “p, .
