Suggestions for Carvers.

If there is any roe a piece should be placed on eaeh plate. Beef’s heart should be out in thin sl.oes and served hot. A guest should say whether he prefers the roast rare or well done. A piece of the back and belly of salmon should go to eaoh person. Tongue must be out very thin; the central portions are the choicest. The results are in ratio with tee skill used, not the force expended. The head pieces of all fish are considered the most delioate and desirable. A haunch of venison should be carved in slices down to the bone, from the broad end upward. A few drops of lemon juioe and a little pepper and salt Improve the flavor of mu .ton wonderfully. Great care must be exercised in the carving of fish, to keep the flakes from falling to pieces. Have plenty of room upon the platter and in its vicinity; a great many mishaps are thus prevented. The sirloin of beef should be out in thin shoes, a portion of the upper part and the tenderloin going on eaoh plate.— Good Housekeeping.
