mas dinner. Choose a joint weighing
from fourteen to sixteen pounds from
young and fat beef. Having laid it in
the dripping-pan, tenderloin downward,
with the long thin end curved under in
such way that the top of the beef will
present nearly fiat surface, dredge it
slightly with flour, and put about three
tablespoonsful of boiling water in the
bottom of the pan, setting it in the bot
tom of a very hot but not burning oven.
As soon as the surface of the beef is so
Drowned that the juices will not readily
escape, allow the oven to cool to mod
crate degree of heat. Baste the beef
frequently with its own dripping. From
four to fOtir and half hours in first
quick and then moderate oven will be
required to cook the beef SO that 1t shall
be at once juicy and done. Too many
cooks mistake raw beef for rare. 1t re-
quires the incest judgment in the man
agement of the fire to secure joint that
shall be well browned-not burned;
where the Juice shall follow the knife,
while the meat is cooked to the center.
When the beef is done, sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Empty the pan of all the
dripping; pour in some boiling water
slightly salted, stir it about and strain
over the meat.

HEART DIsEAsE.-Many persons suffer
with heart disease without knowing it;
suddenly they drop off, and their friends
are astonished, on post mortem exam
ination, to learn that they died of heart
disease. The heart, like the brain, is the
seat of life. Its diseases are of several
characters; the most common are valvu-
lar disease, fatty degeneration, and func-
tional arrangement. Ifthe liver becomes
deranged, and digestion is impaired, the
heart, through sympathy and juxtapocsi-
tion, becomes abnormal. The following
symptoms indicate approaching disease:
palpitation, giddiness, faintness, nervous
prostration, deranged digestion. vertigo,
cold extremities, ETC., etc., for which the
old school will administer iron, opium,
antimony, mercury, and many other
mineral poisons. Heart disease is a blood
disease. Purify the blood; remove OBJ
structions to limpid circulation by
taking that Vegetable Alterattre, VINEGAR
BrrrERs, and you will be sound person
in two or three months. ~

els that so?" asked the doctor, in a
tone considerably softened; then she
shall get well, if my whole time and at
tention can bring it about"
The sick woman lay in a burning fever
for several days, and the boys Industrious
ly drank her health, and bet heavy odds
on her recovery. Nosinging was allowed
anywhere in camp, and when an old
feud broke out afresh between two
miners, and they drew their pistols, a
committee was appointed to conduct
them at least two miles from camp, be-
fore allowing them to shoot. The Sun
days were allowed to pass in the COM
monplace quietness peculiar to the rest
of the week, and men who were unable
to forego their regular weekly spree were
compelled to emigrate. Sim Ripson,
though, admitting that the changG was
decidedly injurious to his business, de-
clared that he would cheerfully be ruined
in business, rather than have that woman
disturbed; he was ever heard to say that,
though of course there was no such
place as heaven, there ought to be, for
such women.
One evening as the crowd were quietly
drinking and betting, Arkansas Bill sud
denly opened the door of the store, and
cried:
"She's mendin'l The fever's broke
'sh-hp
"My treat, boys" said Sim Ripson,
hurrying glasses and favorite bottle on
the bar.
The boys were just clinking glasses
with Blizzer himself, who, during his
wife's absence and illness, had drifted
back to the store, when Arkansas Bill
again opened the door.
"She's a-sinkin', all of a sudden! he
gasped. "Blizzer yer wanted"
The two men hurried away and the
crowd poured out of the store. By the
light of fire in front of the hut in which
the sick woman lay, they saw Blizzer en-
ter, and Arkansas Bill remain outside
the hut, near the door.
The boys stood on one foot, put their
hands into their pockets and took them
out again, snapped their fingers and
looked at each other, as if they wanted
to talk about something that they could
not. Suddenly the doctor emerged from
the hut, and said something to Arkansas
Bill, and the boys saw Arkansas Bill put
both hands up to his face. Then the
boys knew that their sympathy could
help Blizzer's wife no longer.
Slowly the crowd re-entered the store,
and mechanically picked up the yet un-
tasted glasses. Sim Ripson filled a glass
for himself, looked a second at the crowd,
and dropped his eyes, raised them again,
looked as if he had something to say,
looked intently into his glass, as if espy-
ing some irregularity, looked up again
and exclaimed:
"Boys, its no use, mebbe there is no
hell, mebbe the Bible contradicts itself,
but-but ther is heaven, or such folks
would never git their just dues. Here's
to Blizzer's wife, the best man in camp,
and may the Lord send us somebody like
hern
In silence and with uncovered heads,
was the toast drank; and for many days
did the boys mourn for her whose advent
brought them such disappointment.

Artificial MOther-Of.Pearl.

There are several methods of initiating
the irridescent appearance of mother-of-
pearl. One consists in producing num-
ber of fine grooves on the surface of the
material. This principle was adopted by
Barton, who brought out steel irrides-
cent buttons, long known by his name.
A peculiar imitation of mother-ofpearl
may be produced by smoking horn in a
boiling solution of acetate of lead, and
then laying it for some time in dilute
solution of hydrO-chloric acid. But the
imitation produced by the incision of a
large number of extremely close lines is
far superior in effect to the latter plan,
as the former is that, as Sir David Brews
ter has shown, on which the irridescence
of real mother-ofpearl depends,

PaternaI Brutality.

One day recently, respectfully dressed
man carried well-grown child, muffied
up, and apparently sick, into French's
Hotel. He placed the child on the stairs
and began to talk to it in rough, un-
kind way. The attention of the guests
was attracted, and they gathered around.
You are able to walk up stairs your
self" said the man, "and / won't carry
you"
The poor child began to sob worse than
before, and the brutal man gave it a
severe thump on the side of the head.
The child began moaning piteously. The
Indignation of the by-standers was ex-
cited, and one of them said to the man !:

The man doubled his fist and made as
if he was about to give the child saw
age blow. One of the bystanders inter
fered, and said:
"Say, if you don't stop this, I'll call
policeman. l never saw such brutal
father in all my life"
The man began to tumble in his pocket
and the child cried out:
"Take care, he's got knife. Hes go
ing to cut YOU"
Sure enough he produced knife and
opened it. The crowd slipped away one
by one, except two.
Bring an officer" cried one of tht
men to friend.

said, ait will be for something;" anc
thereupon he plunged the knife into tn,
body of the child. The child shrieked

to the spot. The man quietly raised tn

said:

THE YEARS TWELVE CHILDREN

January, by the way,
Like an old pilgrim worn and gray,
Watches the snow and shivering sighs
As the wild curlew around him flies;
Or. huddled underneath thorn,
Sits praying for the lingering morn.
February, bluff and bold,
Ger burrows striding scorns the cold,
And with his horses two abreast,
Making the keen plOw do his behest.
Rough March comes clustering down the road,
In his wrathy hand the oxen goad;
Or, with rough and angry haste,
Scatters the seeds o'er the dark waste.
April, child, half tears, half smiles,
Trips full of little playful wiles;
And laughing, meath her rainbow hood,
Seeks the wild violets in the wood.
May, the bright maiden, singing goes,
To where the snowy hawthorn blows,
Watching the lamps leap in the dells,
List'ning the simple village bells.
June, with the mowers scarlet face,
Moves DER the clover field apaee,
And fast his crescent scythe sweeps on
Ger spots from whence the lark has flown:
July, the farmer, happy fellow,
Laughs 10 see the corn grow yellow;
The heavy grain he tosses up
From his right hand as from a cup.
August, the reaper, cleayes his way
Through golden waves at break of day;
Or on his wagon, piled with corn,
AT sunset home is proudly borne.
September, with his braying hound,
Leaps fence and pale at every bound,
And casts into the winds in scorn
All cares and dangers from his horn.
October comes, a woodman old,
Fenced with tough leather from the cold;
Round swings his sturdy AK, and lol
A fir branch falls at every blow.
November covers before the fame,
Blear crone, forgetting her own name,
Watches the blue smoke curling rise,
And broods upon old memories.
December, fat and rosy, strides,
His old heart warm, well clothed his sides,
With kindly words for young and old,
The cheerier for the bracing cold,
Laughing a welcome, open fings
His doors, and as he goes he sings.

Adams Patent SGlfFeeding C0rl-ShGnerS,

THE modern house is, except in few
special instances, a colder place to live
in than the houses of century ago.
The reason of this is obvious enough.
A cold house almost always means a
badly built house. Either the walls are
too thin, or the woodwork does not fit
properly, or the doors and windows are
badly arranged, or the freplaces are not
constructed so as to give out enough
heat. Of these defects the first and last
are the most universal and the most i'm
portant.

wrone Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure OF liver
complaint and both the mineral and yeget-
able Kingdoms have been diligently searched
to procure the most drastic and poisonous
purgatives, in order to produce powerful
effect upon the liver, and arouse the tagging
and enfesbled organ. This system of treat
ment is on the same principle as that OF CIV
ing weak and debilitated man large por-
tions of brandy to enable him to do certain
amount of work. When the stimulant IS
withheld, the organ, like the system, gradu-
ally relapses into q more torpid or sluggish
and weakened condition than before. what
then is wanted? Medicines, which, while
they cause the bile to flow freely from the
liver, as that organ is toned into action, VIII
not overwork and thus debilitate it, but will,
when their use is discontinued, leave the
liver strengthened and healthy. Such RENE
dies are found in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medl-
cal Discovery and Purgative Pellets.
