Economical Cooking in Oregon.

There is place in Oregon called the
Smoky Valley, where the people have
very curious way of cooking. They do
not have the trouble of making fire
every morning when they wish to get
breakfast. They just walk out with
their kettles, cofiee-pots, and whatever
else they need, and cook at the boiling
spring. The water seems great deal
better than common boiling water, and
all they need TO do is to have their ket-
tlesin it for short time, and their food
is nicely cooked. They are able even to
bake in it. The bread is put into a tight
saucepan, and lowered into the boiling
flood for an hour or two, and then
drawn up most exquisitely baked, with
but thin rim on the crust over it.
Meat is cooked here, and beans, which
are the miners great luxury. 1t takes
but minute to cook eggs, or TO make
pot Of coffee or tea; but if there
should chance to be a "slip between
the cup and the lip" the food would be
gone beyond recovery.

Distilleries and Gr0g.sbOps.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in one of
his sermons on the Authority of Right
Over Wrong" presents, in very fore
IDLE manner, and in his inimitable and
peculiar style the following thoughts on
the right Of SURPRISING distilleries and
grog-shops:
| have good deal OF certain sort of
kind feeling for wicked men. ! am sorry
for them. Looking at them in one way,
! have sympathy with them, | would
serve them if could. / would do all
in my power TO make them better. Bat,
on the other hand, if they assume SUI
periorty over me, and tell me TO hold
my peace, | have forty mems spirit of
indignation reused up in me. The idea
that these very men | know are exhal-
ing from Stygian morasses a pestilential
miasm which is poisoning my children
and my neighbours children-the idea
that they should arrogate superiority
over me, and tell me to hold my peace,
makes my blood boil. If man should
open stye under the Heights, the sig
nature of all the men in the neighbor-
hood would be obtained, declaring it
nuisance; and it would be abated quick
ly. When it is something that smells in
the nose, men understand rights and
duties, and they say, "No man has any
business TO create a nuisance in our
midst" and they resort to measures for
compelling the offender to remove that
by which he otfends.
Let man start mill for grinding
arsenic, and let the air be filled with
particles of this deadly poison, and let
1t be noticed that the people in the
neighborhood are beginning to sneeze
and grow pale, and let it be discovered
that this mill is the cause, and do you
suppose that he would be allowed to go
on grinding? No. Men would shut up
his establishment at once. And yet
men open these more internal mills of
utter destruction - distilleries, and
wholesale and retail dens for liquor; and
you can mark the streams of damna-
ton that flow out from them; and yet
nobody NEEDLES with them. One man
is getting carbuncles another man is
becoming red in the eyes; another man
is becoming irritable, and losing his self
control another man is being ruined,
both in body and mind; multitudes of
men begin TO exhibit the signs Of APP
| preaching destruction; and the cause of
all this terrible devastation may be
traced TO these places where intoxica-
ting drinks are manufactured and sold.
You would not let man grind arsenic;
but you would let man make and sell
liquor, though Arsenic is a mercy COM
pared with liquor. And say that you
have no right to suffer to exist in the
community these great centers of pes
tilential influence that reek and FIJI the
moral atmosphere with their poison. In
those sections Of the West where chills
and fever prevails, counties combine and
drain the swamps from which it comes.
And in cities and thickly settled places,
you have right to suppress distilleries
and grogshops. You have not only a
right to do it, but, as you love your
country, your city, your fellow men,
your children and your own selves, it is
your duty to do it.

Reform of Criminals.

Our prisons punish crime severely
enough, but they reform criminals but
indifferently well. Men and women
graduate from penitentiary in state
of mind the reverse of penitent are
free for a few days or weeks, then go
back to their old quar- ters under sen.
tence for new crimes. One great reason
for this, outside the defects in Jail man.
agement, is the difficulty in obtaining
employment, with which every dis.
charged prisoner meets. Often he is
forced back into dishonesty. A firm of
philanthropists, at Bridgewater, Conn.,,
is doing a good work in counteracting
this evil. The firm employs the State
convicts, under contract, in some
mechanical employ ent, and, if faith
fully served, keeps them after their
discharge. The plan has not only been
tried for short time, but so far it
works well. The example is worthy of
imitation.
