*3gS3„ .. It is bo wonder that there are so manyill bredmen and women t in the world when one sees the lack of pains takenby parents to ir^triiot their lit tle ones in forms of table and' social etiquette that are so easily taught to the pliable infant mind, but which, left unnoticed, ure soon supplanted by actions that become bad habits in a very short time. It is no unusual sight to behold a child drinkiugfrom.its sauoer with no word of admonition from the mother or nurse who sits near-by. A thirsty little one will drink from a cup in which there is a spoon, and later years' will see no harm in . continuing -the practice. Many a child eats with his knife, and yet how easily . could the fork or "spoon be substituted in its place if the parents gave , but a tiny bit of attention to this branch of thier chidren’s education. Selfishness is fostered so easily through a lack - of watchfulness. The gentler courtesies that count for so much are not instilled in childhood, and in later years the man or woman is regarded as a bore. Good clothes are not everything. Even good health is not the one point desirable in a child’s makeup. Good manners should be added to health and attire in order to gain a perfect ensemble that counts for so much in the world’s judgment. No one can estimate how great a factor in life is the possession of good manners. They are the open sesame to the best of society. They are the hall mark of the gentleman or lady, but they must be acquired in infancy. —New York Telegram. Information About Lemons. r Lemons make very refreshing and thirst-quenching drinks, and the citric acid they contain cools the blood. Al though we as a rule think there is only One variety of lemons, there are really two—Citrus lumia, the sweet lemon, and Citrus limonum, the true lemon. Citrus lumia is deficient in citric acid, therefore these are pleasanter to suck or eat, like oranges, than Citrus limo num. For drinks they require the addition of citric acid. The lemons that are hard and hove a slightly greenish hue contain the most citric acid. Lemons unless fresh soon get moldy—that is in a week or so. To prevent them from doing this they should not be allowed to touch each other. If each is wrapped up in a sheet of tissue paper, this cannot oc cur. Some people put them in a large stone jar, cover them with water and renew the water every three days, or oftener if it smells. But the best way is to buy them fresh—Philadel phia Times. Last Word. k A young girl once heard a bit of wisdom from the lips of a very aged woman—a woman who had rounded the term of ninety years, and with eyes still bright and clear looked out upon the inrolling waters of eternity. The girl was impressed by the empha- y sis with which the venerable dame said to her, “Bessie, never insist on having the last word.” The determi nation to have the last word leads to more .quarrels and more bitterness of feeling at home than almost anything else in domestic life. The fact is, that one may so control her ongue and her eyes that she may al low her opponent the pleasure of this coveted concluding thrust and yet placidly retain her own opinion, and in the homely, colloquial parlance of the npcounty, where one findB strong- willed people living together in great lienee with the most pronounced diver sity of characteristics, “do as she’s a mind to.” Great Fairs of the World. There have been nine great fairs ol the world. The first great internation al exposition was held in London, in 1851. The second world’s fair was held at Paris, in 1855. The third was held in London, in 1862. The fourth was held in Paris, in 1857. The fifth was in Vienna, in 1873. The Phila delphia exposition of 1876, was the „.-.?i ; xth rireat display. . The seventh in ternational fair was in Paris, in 1878. The eijgth fair was at Paris, in 1889. The ninth, ns all the world knows, is in progress in Chicago, Dainty Splashers.

"Wheeler, 1900 Division St., Baltimore, Md*j 2$ cents per box.: itiS) A Savannah special says: Almost on this anniversary of 1881, Savannah was swept Sunday night by one of the se verest storms it has ever known. The storm, which-had been predicted by the weather bureau for several days, began early in the afternoon and in creased from then on until it reached the climax between fib and 12 o’clock gunday night, having blown for eight hours in a terrific hurricane. It be gan raining early in the morning, bnt only in’gusts. After the first fall it ceased entirely for several hours, and did not begin again until afternoon. Then the work of destruction began and lasted until the storm had spent its force. At midnight all the wharves along the river front and Ocean Steam ship company and Savannah, Florida and Western railway wharves were under water and the tide was still ris ing rapidly. A view of the city at daylight Mon day morning revealed a scene of wreck and rnin that surpassed that after the great hurricane of 1881. The streets were impassable from the debris. Fallen trees, twisted roofs, masses of brick, fenceB and broken limbs and branches of trees, were piled across the sidewalks and in the sqnares, and broken wires hung in every direction. It is impossible at present to estimate the damage, as the result of the storm, but it was very general, and it is safe to say that it will go np in the hun dreds of thousands, and perhaps high er. Nearly everyone, if not quite all the property owners in the city, have been damaged to some extent, and some to the extent of thousands. FIFTY MISSING. The list of fatalities is gradually growing, and it is impossible to tell to what extent it will go. Several bod ies of drowned persons were picked np during, the morning, and searches are now being made for others who are missing. Every hour seems to bring some new story of a death as a result of the storm. Fourteen people are known to he dead, and forty or fifty others are re ported missing, and it is supposed, as nothing, has been heard from them, that their bodies will he found later. A DOZEN VESSELS WRECKED. Twelve barks and barken tines which were anchored at quarantine station were blown high and dry upon- the marsh, and some of them were carried by the storm across the marshes on to an island two miles distant from the station. One of the vessels at Tybeo was completely capsized and three of the Clubhouses on the island were blown entirely down. Others were flooded and the people sought shelter wherever they could. The wires are all down and Savannah is almost shut off from telegraphic communication. QUARANTINE DEMOLISHED. " The ruin at quarantine is immeas urable. Nothing is standing where one of the finest stations on the south Atlantic was located except the doc tors’ house, and how this weathered the fearful gale is miraculous; iho wharves are gone, the new fumi gating plant which has cost the city so much money is in the bottom of the sea, and nine vessels which were waiting there for release to come to the city are high and dry in the marsh, and no doubt will be total wrecks. The Cosnine was the only vessel which managed to keep afloat. FOURTEEN -DROWNED. The tug Paulsen arrived in the city at, 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. She brought np about sixty passengers from Tybee. Mr. Bevers, one of them, stated that four negroes engaged in clearing the railroad tracks were drowned. It is reported that eight of the crew of a terrapin sloop which went ashore on the south end were drowned. HAVOC ON TYBEE. The Hotel \Tybee was considerably damaged. Her verandas are gone and so are the bathhouses. The Knights of Pythias clubhouse was washed away. Two of the cottages of the Cottage Club are g’pne. The Butler house is gone. Mr, Starr’s house was washed into the woods. The Banche and Bambler clubhouses were wrecked. The railroad track is clean ed out. Henry Green’s house was burned. George Bossell’s cottage was swept out to sea. The north end was practically cleaned out. The water swept with tremendous force Jtyer thi3 part of the island, railroad trateks be ing carried from 200 to 500 feetA ILL FATED CHARLESTON. \ A Charleston special says: 'While the record of terror and ruin wrought by the great disaster of 1885 remains! unbroken, Charleston has again stood in the track of a cyclone which has shaken the old city to her foundation stones. The damage to property can not be told’ and the loss of life is un known. The citizens awoke Monday morn ing and gazed upon innumerable evi deuces of the linrricane which swept over the city Sunday afternoon and night. Uprooted trees, fallen roofs, broken fences and in the less substan tial parts of the town, wrecked sheds and shanties were found everywhere. N . A veritable cyclone with all the ter rors which the word has for the people of that section, swept up the coast and across Charleston. Early Saturday morning the dreaded signul was run np, and-the city held its breath hopin, that the storm might pass her by. But the leather looked exceedingly threatening 'Sunday morning, and within a short'fime it became no long er a doubt that\the dreaded cyclone was to decend up Op the city in all its fury. The craft lying at anchor in the bay were first to'take alarm, and from all quarters of the harbor they hurried to safety. The largest vessels, no lest than the smallest craft, sought protection from the, angity tempest. By 1. o’clock the storm - hurst in all its fury. Several carnalities to. persons and 7 ’ much' serious damage, is reported, bnt a complete inventory can -only . be made. aftei\. a careful inspection of the territory ex^ tending froni. the Ten Mile house to the Battery.

An Angnsta, Ga., special says Sunday night’s storm was the worst that ever visited Angnsta within the recollection of the oldest citizens. It was a violent wind storm, accompanied by over three inches of rain which fell down with great force. Men and women were* badly frightened and filled with dread and fear of the re sults. The routing, blustering wind traveled at a high velocity and swept everything before it. It was a fright ful. night and made strong men timid People Were not surprised upon look ing out Monday morning to see trees uprooted, Sidewalks were tom np by the falling trees. Eleotrio light, fire alarm and telephone wires were broken down, and hanging signs were blown away. All telegraphic communication was shut off except to Atlanta. Crops were badly damaged in the surround ing country. Corn was Mown down and cotton whipped .out. There was no loss of life. ' - AT BRUNSWICK. Following in the wake of the fever and the famine, the elements. heaped destruction on the ill-fated city of Brnnswick. Streets were flooded and made impassable to pedestrians. The storm did not stop until daybreak Monday morning. Thousands of dol lars damage was done along the coast, The damage to the buildings in the city is heavy. FEARFUL IN FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Fla., wns struck by the cyclone abont daybreak Sunday morning, which rapidly increased in force and fury np to 4 o’clock p. m, It traveled in a northwesterly direc tion from the West Indies. It first struck the Florida coast at a point sonth of Jupiter inlet. Its course was still northwesterly, and it traversed the whole eastern portion of the peninsula, damaging property more or less in a path forty to fifty miles wide from the coast line west ward. In Jacksonville hundreds "of trees were blown down and scores of dwell ings and public buildings were either unroofed entirely or had the tin blown from them. The most serious damage was to the Park opera honBe and the Ocean Street Presbyterian church. At Mayport (mouth of St. John’s river) all the buildings suffered more or less, and the old Atlantic house was demolished completely. At Pablo beach the sea encroached upon the railroad tracks and the premesis of the cottagers and the wind played sad havoc among them. All the telegraph and telephone wires were blown down. St. Augustine reports the water coming in over the sea wall and dama ging residences and business blocks. About thirty or forty yachts and small crafts were badly damaged, or com pletely destroyed. The fate of other localities in Florida as well aB of the outside territory invaded by the storm, is still a sealed book. The wires are down in every direction from Jack sonville and communication with the outside world was ausolntely cut off. A Columbia special says: All Sonth Carolina was in the very teeth of the storm. The state weather observer says that nearly the entire early rice crop has been destroyed and that cot ton has been injured from 25 to 30 per cent. The crops in this section are in a distressing condition. Corn and peas are ruined. Pasture fences have been blown away and the cattle are scattered everywhere. Barns and cribs have been blown down, leaving the forage exposed. ‘ LATEB PARTICULARS. Specials of Tuesday from Savannah state that the list of fatalities as the result of Sunday’s storm is rapidly in creasing. The City of Savannah, which sailed from Boston Thursday, is fifty hours overdue and no tidings from her, whatever, have been receiv ed. The Savannah is one of the old est boats on the line. The William Crane steamer from Baltimore reach ed the city Thursday, hut in a rather bad condition. : Her captain re ports wreckage all along the coast near Charleston. There were cabin doors, spars, mats and parts of vessels of all kinds. Whether any of them were the remains of the City of Savannah is not known, bnt 'the sup position is that such wns the ease, the passenger list has not yet arrived from Boston and it is not known who were on board. Hutchinson’s island presents a scene of devastation. The entire island is still covered with water and several houses, which were un the little farms aoross the river, have disappeared from view. The bank opposite the city is strewn with the wrecks of dwelling, sheds and old boats. At the lumber wharves near Yale Koyal considerable lumber was floated oft’, hut most of this can be recovered. Had Tybee island been washed away the demolition and destruction could not have been much worse than it is. Houses were blown down, burned, ashed away and otherwise demolish- Six lives were lost on the island. Numbers of colored people on Hutchinson's island are missing, and it is believed that manymore perished. A pttrty, consisting of C. A. Gradot, George-Schwarz, Harry Fender, "Wal ter Bobiqer and two others left Savan nah Sunday morning on a “maroon” and have n»t. been heard from since. The steamar Boellevue, sighted an abandoned \ boat, bottom np, which the friends of those in the ma rooning party \fear was their boat.

Fifteen vessels on the\harbor and off Tybee were wrecked or\ badly dam aged. More than that \iumber of smaller crafts are missing ai»d are be lieved to have been lost. A The loss of life at Charleston has been remarkably slight, considering the fearful ravage which was doiie to property in every quarter of the \’ity. The total death roll numbers six ‘ sons, three of whom met death in city and three on Sullivan’s island. THE DAMAGE DONE. It is difficult to give an estimate of the damage done by the storm. The J\ following is a rough estimate: To ~ buildings,' $100,000; -vessels wrecked, $150,000; damage to, the " railroads lading out of the city, $100,000; "dam age to the rice drop, $200,000.

Dispatches of Wednesday night state that the passengers and crew of the City of Savannah have been res cued and are safe, though the gallant steamship is a total wreck. After a seven days’ encounter with the ocean at its angriest, and after shipwreck on a storm-beaten coast the passengers of the ill-fated ship were rescued by the gallant steamer City of Birmingham off Hunting .Island, on the Sonth Carolina coast. Heartily and sincerely did Savan nah rejoice when the news reached the city, whose name the fated steam ship bore, and a nation rejoiced with her. A day of doubt and anxiety and sorrow had the happiest possible ending. As the gallant City of 3ir- mingham steamed np to her dock, bearing aloft the pennant of her stricken sister and below that most precious burden, her human freight, cheer after cheer rang out from the assembled throng to give her noble welcome. The rescue of the Savannah was the feature of the day’s news from the storm-swept coast region. In Savan nah, in Atlanta, throughout the entire country, the deepest interest was felt all day in the fate of the long-past due steamships. They had been given np for lost; and just when everybody began to give up in despair, the Bir mingham, with, the Savannah’s people on board,"reached her home. The City of Savannah was the oldest ship of the Ocean steamship fleet. She was built in Chester,*Pa., in 1877, by John Borch & Son. She was of 2,029 gross tons and 1,358 net. Her engines were compound and were built in 1877. She carried forty-six officers and men. The steamer is a total loss. No information yet about the cargo. BUSINESS IMPROVES. Dun & Co.’s Report of Trade for the Past Week. B. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The improvement ob served last week has become much more distinct and general. While ac tual transactions have increased bnt little, the change of public feeling is noteworthy. There are fewer failures either of bankers or of important com mercial or manufacturing, concerns, than for some weeks past. Many dis asters have been avoided by a more general pooling of resources and a greater spirit of mutual helpfulness and forbearance than were some weeks ago. One large stock failure for sev eral million dollars was thus ;prevent- ed in Wall street on Thursday, and the market for securities, though at ■times depressed, by the clo|ing of heavy loans, has been extremely dull without material decline. Money on call is more abundant and lower, as ma$y interior loans have been paid since the banks ceased to send currency away, and advanced the rates for renewing or extending such loans,but there is little relief as respects mercantile accommodations, as the use of the check in the place of currency increases, and the secretary of the treasury in answer to an inquiry, has stated that nb legal objection exists to the use of sight drafts on New York for small sums. The difficulty of collections and the interruption of exchanges are nearly as serious as ever. The number of in dustrial establishments resuming busi ness begins to compare fairly with the number stopping work. A little bet ter demand appears for some products, such as wire nails and barbed wire, of which important producers have been idle for nearly two months. Bnt in general the consumption has so far de creased that the southern furnaces are offering pig iron at very low figures here, and standard makers in Penn sylvania are contemplating a re duction in prices. - Though currency is at a premium of 1 to 2 per cent, the demand is less than a week . Beceipts of gold from Europe during the past week have been ,700,000, but the Bank of England has raised its rate to 5 per cent., which is expected to stop further shipments of gold to this country and the Bank of France has lost during the past week about $1,600,000. The ab sorption of money has not yet ceased, and credit substitutes are in use as yet poorly supply its place. The failures for the past week num ber 410 in the United States and twenty in Canada. Of the commer cial failures in the United States 149 were in eastern states, sixty-five in southern and 180 in western. FOUR MUD -• - Beaufort anfl Port Royal Scenes of Death and Desolation On All Sides—400 Dead Bodies-Recovered. A special of Thursday night from Beaufort, S. C., is to the effect that over three hundred and ninety dead bodies have been found on the islands about Beaufort and Port Boyal. Over two million dollars of property lias been wrecked near the same points. And both of these are the direct re-, suit of the severe storm which swept along the Atlantic coast on the night of August 27th. Every one of the fifteen or twenty islands lying around Port Boyal and Beaufort is steeped in sorrow. On every door knob there is a bunch of crape, and upon every hillside there are fresh-made graves, some already filled, while others are awaiting the bodies that will he deposited in them just as soon as some one can he found to do the kind Christian net of shovel ing the dirt upon the coffin. The beeches, the undergrowth, trees and shubbery, the marshes and the inlets are turning np new dead bodies every time an investigation is made. Already more than two hund red- bodies have been found, and many people of that section are confident in their predictions that the death roll will run as high as five hundred. Some of the people, and they are among the best people of that section of the state, even place the loss at more than one thousand. There has not been on hour of any day since the early hours of Monday morning that a dead body" has not been found at some point on one of the many islands. As the waters re cede and the people move deeper into the wreckage gathered by the storm the ghastly pictures are uncovered. So frequent are the discoveries that the finding of a single body attracts no attention at all. It takes the discov ery of at leaBt a clump of a half-dozen or more to induce the people to show auy feelings whatever, It is around Beaufort and Port Boy al that the death rate was the greatest, but in neither of the towns were many lives lost. At Beaufort only three coffins were brought to supply the local demand, while Port Boyal got off evejj lighter. Around the two towns there is a chain of islands, and it was upon these that the black angel of death hovered for hours Sunday night, leaving in his path sorrow and desolation greater than has ever visi ted the state before, even in the bloody days of reconstruction. The storm was one of the most se vere the people of the coast have ever known. This section of the Atlantic coast has been prolific in storms that scattered death and destruction of property in their wake, but the weath er wise man, the oldest inhabitant, .or the coast pilot cannot recall anything approaching it. It was a storm of wind, rain and hail, and tie" elements seemed combined in their greate^ fury. The seas ran liirii, and saht-watgr waves were driven by the heavy winds as much as twenty miles inland. House were blown away; trees were torn from the earth, leaving holes hi; GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. The Industrial Situation for the Past Week. The review of the industrial situation in the South for the past week shows that there is no material change in industrial and financial con ditions. Tlie failures reported for the week are less in number and importance than for the week preceding; several of the banks which had suspended business have resumed payments, and others give notice of an early intention so to do, and in merchantiie businest a slight im provement is noted, especially in the hardware rade. Crop reports, from all parts of the South, are generally favorable. Cotton is coming in to market, but not to a largo extent. The price is too-low to tempt farmers who are not obliged to sell, and this class is larger at pres ent than in any former season. There are no reports of the establishment of new industries of special importance. Twenty- three new industries were established or incor porated during the week, together with four enlargements of manufactories, and nine im- portanlnew buildings. Business generally throughout tho Sonth is being conducted on a conservative basis, and is considerably restricted. Credits are carefully scrutinized, aud while the volume of business is smalt there is a prevaiing belief that the worst is over, and that improvement may bo expected henceforward.—Tradesman (Chatta nooga,Tenn.)

The day came on with heavy black elonds hanging over the ports. An ugly wind started up about 10 o’clock Sunday morning, blowing from the northeast. It increased as the day grew on, and about noon a cold, chilly rain started. Long before dark the people living along the coast knew that a storm was inevitable hut none dreamed of the great extent it assumed. Late in the evening the wind took on a great velocity, and as the night advanced the great volocity of the wind increased until it attained a speed of 130 miles an hour at o’clock. And this is about the time the City of Savannah went ashore. But it was not until the next morning that the people knew of the great and terrible danger through which they had passed. A glance at the map will show that around the place of greatest disaster there is a group of some twenty islands. Some of these are very small, with only one or two families livin' thereon, while others are larger and accommodate as many inhabitants ns 4,500. St. Helena has a population of 4,500; Lady’s island, 1,500; Dawtha’s island, 75 ; Coosaw island, 600; Beau fort, town, has a population of 3,600. Port Boyal island, embracing tho towns of Beaufort and Koyal, has a population of about 8,000. FOUR HUNDRED ARE DEAD. As far as reliable information which has reached tho officers goes, the dead will number 400, and they are located as follows: At the Pacific works sev enty-nine bodies have been found and buried. On Lady’s island twenty-four bodies were buried on Tuesday and others hav > been found since. On Paris island nineteen bodies had been recov ered and buried up to Tuesday noon. On Beanfort island twelve bodies have been buried. At the Coosaw mines five bodies have been buried. At Cain’s Neck twenty-two bodies have been recovered and buried, ,and re ports are that seventy-nine lives were lost there. On the Eustis place, one of the richest plantations of Lady’s island, forty-seven new made graves were filled "Wednesday morniug. At the other end of Lady’s island seven other dead bodies have been found. At Dawtha’s island, a place qf about 1,200 acres, eighty lives are reported lost and nearly half that many, bodies have been recovered. In addition to the list of those given elsewhere from St. Helena it is estimated that 150 lives have been lost. On Warsaw island reliable information has placed forty- five in the grave. On hunting island, the island off. which the steamship City of Savannah was wrecked, forty- six are dead. LOSS TO' SHIPFING. The loss to shipping around the im portant islands is fearfuL’ There are eight dredges which were employed in getting out phosphate rock by the several companies engaged in this in dustry. The largest one, the Kennedy, cost $350,000. The others were not so-valuable, but all are beached high and'dry, or are bottom up and hope less wrecks. Connected with these dredges were washboats and lighters. There were something like three hun- for Charleston, another for Savannah and tho damage to railroads and steamship lines and there is a grand total'of something like $5,000,000 loss and 600 dead bodies as the fruit of Sunday night’s blow in a stretch of 100 mile's on the Oeorgia and Carolina coast. It is equal to the devastation of war, and yet these are the figures given by conservative men. THE GOVEBNOB’S PROCLAMATION* Governor Tillman issued the fol lowing proclamation at 11 o’clock Thursday night: “Having received the following telegram from J. H. Averill, receiver of the Port Boyal and Angnsta Bailroad company con veying the startling intelligence of an appalling loss of- life and a terrible state of. destitution upon the islands upon the coast of this state resulting from the terrible hurricane which the Almighty in His judgment has visited upon the people of the south Atlantic states, causing universal suffering: “ •-Ykmasses.N.

C., special of Wed nesday says: The great storm has passed and gone but its effects will be felt in the Palmetto State for the re remainder of this year, if not longer.

His inside vest is buttoned, the outside one worn loose. A long paletot often takes the place of the latter. It is cut part way down from the neck, and the loose armholes allow the arms to be held in or outside. The wide trousers are bound abont the waist by a rich scarf. Over all is fre quently worn the long loose tunic, cut V shape at the neck, and with short sleeves low down. The hands are fre quently kept inside—in winter for warmth—and an Aral) leaches outfrom the V, at the neck for anything he wants handed him with a peculiarly limited motion which at first you fail to comprehend. Tho burnoose is an out-of-doors garment, and the fez may or may not have the turban cloth.

Parts of this dress are drop ped at intervals according to the wealth or habit. There are few per sons more really magnificent than a well dressed Arab sheik or a man of wealth. In our days of business suits which cloak the godly and ungodly alike the dress is uncommonly attrac tive—on an Arab. That it would suit our habits one will scarcely allege.

How to Clean tlie Face. Theatrical people know that oil cleans the skin better than water. Generally other people do not. If ac tresses undertook to get their makeup off with water, they would need soft soap and a scrub brush to do it, and the skin would inevitably come off with it. They used once cocoa butter. Now they use cocoa oil, which is a better preparation of the same thing. Drug stores keep it. Some keep it-"" fresh, and some keep it rancid. Take care not to patronize the second class, and in cocoa oil you will have the most delightful of all emollient for the oil hath. If you want to see how effective it is, come in from a railway journey on a hot day, when the windows have been up and yon have had ns much benefit of tho smoke and soot as the fireman. Take the most vigorous bath you can .devise or endure, then spread some cocoa oil on the face and rub it off. The blackened towel will tell the tale of failure for the hath and triumph for the oil.—Boston Gazette. Table Decoration. j All forms of table garniture are re- : quired to be low. The tall vases are used upon mantels in tho drnwing- j room, tho sitting-room and -the little , ! reception room, but no longer upon | the table, where their height proves a | hindrance to dinner chat. The custom of putting huge pieces in the centre was never good, bnt so long as fashion declares in its favor it held neverthe less, and only very few had the courage to denounce it. Now, when it is the correct thing to arrange tempting hits of color as low as can be, the wisdom of the change cannot he' denied, and diners ont gain an enlarged view of their neighbors and vis-a-vis. —Ex change. ■ Stock From Reacts. — 1 Just before the roaslj a done pouis into the pan in which it is cooking about a pint of hot water.
