If it is not, beat'it well, and takecaro when cutting it to remove all gristlo. Then add a little vinegar to the water that is to bo used for the gravy. Next proceed to make, the pie by dipping tlio meat inV flour, shit, and popper. .Mix with the moat the kidney, and if liked a little chopped onion. Sometimes hard-boiled eggs are added. If adding any bacon, it must be remembered that the saltpetre in the bacon will make the meat red. Cook the pie fairly quickly at. first, "and then slowly.' If the crust gets cooked too soon, stand the pie-dish on top of the store,"'.or over a small-gas jet, turned very low. Wafer may-be added 'at any time, if'the gravy: has evaporated. •• The.'piedish' is - filled with the ,me at and water,; etc., the crust is put' into it.

Always leave ■ afttv slits .in the crust for tho escape of ■poisonous. gases. Gelatine may he melted in . the gravy if tho pie is to he eaten cnld and the meat it;is made from .is unlikely to yield enough to make tho gravy into a' jelly without this aid. ■', FOR TO-MORROW.
