How TO BOIL MEATs-Neary every family
has dinner, as often as once a week of what
Is popularity called boiled dish" and which,
properly cooked Is one of the best dishes in
the world but all cooks do not know the best
way to boil cOrned beef The common meth
cd in order to make it tender, being to put it
in to cold water and let the beef and water
come gradually to boil. This certainly makes
beef tender. but it also extracts the strength
and juice. A better way is is te wait till the
water boils before putting in the beef; it will
then be equally tender and will retain all its
strengthening and juicy properties. Many
house keepers suppose that by putting meat in
hot water inevitably renders it hard and tough
and So it will if the water is only hot but if
it boils the effect will be the reverse. Just as
putting a discolored tablecloth in hot water
will set the stains, but put it in boiling water
and it will take them clean out. The same
rule applies to boiling meats. Hams, after
boiling four or five hours, according to size.
should be taken out, the skins taken off, and
cracker and bread crumbs grated over them,
and then baked in brisk oven for an hour
leg ofmutton can be treated successfully in
the same way, only it does not require to be
boiled so long, of course the boiling process
should be gentle.

CURIOUS DREAM OF francis JosEpu OF
AusTRiA'-lHE HAPsBURG FAMILY.-A Fri
este correspondent relates a good on dit which
is getting extensive currency, and some no
lief. 1t Is that the Emperor Francis ,Josrnb
beng disquieted by the simple recurrence of n
dream, had recourse to the counscls of his
mother the Archduchess Sophia, who at once
summoned to her aid a "weild lister" in whose
mystic talent she had herself confidence In
tiouuced INTO the august presence, the crone
demanded what visions of the night had star
tied the imperial sumbers The emperor in.
formed her he had dreamed of three mice ::
inc hrst perfectly blind the second so i'm
mensely bloated and fat it could hardly walk
anu the thlrd weak, poor, and almost dying
from starvation. The beldame appeared
alarmed, and at first protested her inability to
alIord any solution; but, on being treasured
and informed that under any circumstances
she might rely not only on protection but re-
ward, she took heart, and, much to the aston
lsnment OF her imperial interrogators, replied
lie Dllnd mouse Is your majesty; the fat
mouse, your ministers; and the worn out,
starving, and exhausted mouse, your peo-
pie"
BE the tale well or ill founded, it is suffi-
g,.ently analogous to the present state OF the
ispire but the worst part of it is that the
SAitN hiOuoSr hOSo IuI ut present appear to
have opened its eyes, and, il he continues to
persevere i'll his present course, bids fair to
realize the warning prophecy of the Archduke
Ferdinand Macmillan when nine months ago
he gave deep umbrage to his imperial brother
by saying, If your Majesty goes on thus, you
VIII not stop till you have lost yourself and
your empire" Apopos of the Archdule

MARRIAGE WITHOUT CERTIFIcATE.-
Some time ago, a gentleman was united to a
lovely and accomplished lady near Cambridge,
Eng. All passed off pleasantly enOugh-lhe
Aide and bridegroom were on their wedding
tour, when-mHabie dicta! it was discovered
that the marriage was an illegal one, and that
the cIergyma was probably liable to severe
penalties for performing the ceremony. The
bridegroom had never thought OF providing a
license-the clergyman never thought to ill.,
quire Tor it. So here were two persons mar.
RED without bans or license, and entirely con
trary to the statute in that case made and pro-
vided. Here was dilema! What was to be
done! At the end OF three days "a special
messenger was sent after the happy couple.
Their wedding tour WIS arrested, and back
they were brought, when the ceremony was
again performed in the presence of the impor.
tant little document, the absence OF which had
been productive OF so much mischief, and the
travellers resumed their tour, their sudden and
unexpected return being known 10 very few
persons. Notwithstanding the false start, let
us hope that the journey through life may be a
pleasant one-Cdmbridge Independents

SUCKERS IN APPLE ORCHARDs.-The re-
mark is often made that the suckers Of apple
trees made use of as stocks to graft in are apt
to produce suckers. This is true only so far
as those particular trees which sucker most
abundantly are apt to be selected from which
to obtain the supply, and of course the new
stocks have the same peculiarly. Suckers
should never be used for stocks but if they
are, they should be taken from trees produc-
ing the tewest To clear suckers from orchard
trees they should not be cut of, for new shoots
will spring from every stub left. The right
way is to keep the ground smooth, mellow and
clean and then about the middle season OF
growth, or during the first half of summer, put
on thick cowlide boots and stout buclskin
mittons, seize one sucker at a time, placing the
boot upon it close to the tree, give u sudden
jerk with the hands, and twill be torn out root
and branch, leaving no stump. An occasional
repetition OF this process will keep the orchard
clear. Suckers always give sloveny appear
