vineyards in the vicinity of Bridge

ready been published on the subject.

s. Cemetery SAM"

He was not reticent, neither was he
diffident; but he was glib of tongue and
possessed many accomplishments which
are taught and appreciated through the
interior. He could jump into the air,
crack his heels together four distinct
times in manner that betokened long
practice and a quiet determination.
When he found himself the center of the
right sort of an audience he could as
sumo nonchalant air and lead the con-
versatlon into the proper channel, when
he would begin counting upon his fingers
the number of private cemeteries he had
established, and then, fingers being in
sufficient, he would call for sheet of
paper that the number each contained
might he correctly enumerated. His
first appearance in Eureka was made last
night, and he introduced himself as
Cemetery Sam," gave the particulars of
his receiving the patronymic, and stated
that he was from Phoebe; was "gun-
fighter" and asked if any we're there
who doubted his statement. He sloshed
around considerably during the evening,
and by dint Of suavity and tcrror-each
applied as circumstances demandcd-hc
succeeded in loading himself with nectar
ere the midnight hour. Then he girded
up his loins and declared his determina-
ton to start corpse-factory, but in order
that his victims might know who they
had the honor of being slain by he
thought proper to offer explanation, and
in doing so carried on sort of informal
dialogue, asking the questions with
formal and grave eartestness and answer
ing with cunning lightness, thus: "Who
was it inaugurated the graveyard at
Rocky Bar?-Guess it was Cemetery
SAM, "Who was it caused the first
orphan. asylum to bestarted in Montana?
Cemetery Sam was the feller." "Who
was it made public administrator rich
in Eastern Orcgon?-l'm mistaken if it
wasn't Cemetery Sam" "Who was it
that Here some one present, who
evidently thought the thing, was becom;
ing monotonous, smote Sam heavily, and
the latter fell When he arose he con-
tinued the monologue by asking "Who
was struck by lightning just now?-f my
memory serves me right, it must have
been Cemetery sam."-Eureka (Cal)

NUMBER AZ.

Because, being compounds of various
substances, they contain all the elements
of nutrition, and as the Office of the
stomach is to liquify solid food before
digesting it, the previous stewing assists
the stomach in this particular.
What causes the cracking noise when
lard is put in a afrying-pan?
Lard always contains some portion of
water, and it is the expansion of this
water into steam, forcing its way through
the fat, which causes the cracking noise.
The heat at which fat or oil boils is much
greater than water. When the cracking
ceases the water is gone and when the
fat bubbles its heat is very high.
Why should fish or meat that is being
fried be frequently turned?
Because the turning assists the evap-
Grafton of the water When the fish or
meat is allowed to lie too long steam is
generated under it and the steam is
driven off, the surface catches to the hot
pan and becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broilcd meat so juicy and
savory?
Because the action Of the fire harden
ing its surface seals up the pores through
which the juices might escape. 1t acts
in the same way with the joints of meat,
but steak should not be turned with Il
fork, because the puncture of the tissue
opens an escape for the juices, and
wastes the best part Of the meat.-Ameri-
car Patron.
The Western advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1872-1874, 1874-08-01
The Reason Why.

WHY does boiling fast render meat
hard?
Because the excessive action of heat
causes the albume of the meat to set
solid, crisps up the fleshy finers, and pre-
vents heat having gradual access to the
interior.
why, when a good soup or broth is re-
quired, should the meat be put into cold
water?
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermixture
between the juices of the flesh and ex'
ternal matter The soluble and savory
parts of the meat escape and enrich the
soup.
Why are stews generally healthful and
digestible? ''..
