The Dog as an Article Of Food.

BY most people the dog is valued
only during life; his skin is not partic-
ularly valuable, and his flesh is but lit
tie esteemed. This is by no means,
however, the case everywhere. 1t is
very well known that the Chinese use
the dog as a regular article of food.
Many of the North American tribes
look upon an entree of dog as the
greatest possible delicacy they can set
before a stranger. Sir Leopold Nc
Clintock relates that in the Sandwich
islands he had the most profuse apollo
gies offered to him because there was
no puppy to be had for feast to which
he was invited. The Esquimaux, too,
look upon a dish of young dog as q
great treat, and it is related that Dan
ish Captain provided his friends with a
feast of this kind, and, when they
praised his mutton, sent for the skin of
the beast and exhibited it to them.
The Greeks and Romans also used the
dog as an article of diet, and many an
Client writer's, such as Galen and Hippo
crates, represent dog meat as highly
desirable dish.

A GOOD silver-platlng fluid is made as

A GOOD silver-platlng fluid is made as
follows: Dissolve one ounce of crys-
tails of nitrate of silver In twelve ounces
of water. Then dissolve in the water
two ounces OF cyanide of potassium.
Shake the whole together, and let it
stand until it becomes clear. Have
ready some half-ounce Walls, aud fill
them half full of Paris white, or fine
whiting, and then fill up the bottles
with the liquid. and it is ready for use.
A GOOD, hard resin soap is thus made /:
Boil twelve gallons of caustic soda lye
of 30 degrees Baume in kettle, and
add 100 pounds of weli-pulverized
resin, ten or fifteen pounds at time,
stirring constantly and thoroughly, the
heat being kept mp to or nearly boiling
point. Saponification will be effected
in about two hours. The lightest resin
is the best for soap.
If a person desires to avoid sneez-
ing, let him press upward-from m
derneath the nasal cartilage. This is
the method adopted by duck-hunters
when lying in the marshes, if their
proximity TO the water gives them an
inclination to sneeze, since the least
noise would brighten away the ducks.
A writer. who is an old soldier, says that
the easiest way to stop IN inclination
to sneeze without attracting attention
is to press the tongue as far back against
the roof of the mouth as possible for a
few seconds, and that it is a never-fail-
ing remedy.
WHEN you get ready to draw up your

form, will be found of use: @In the

THE Marquis of Anglesey, head of
the Paget family, and vino died lately
in England, had the large amount of
$3,750,OO0 insured on his life. This
will enable his successor to come into a
magnificent and unincumbered prop
erty, the income of which is estimated
at 100000 year. The name of his
mansion and demesne is Beaudesert,
where, in old times, high carnival was
held by the grandfather of the present
Marquis, who lost his leg at Waterloo.
The younger brothers are also reported
to have received showers of gold.

We may end with few words Of
practical advice to persons about to
have books bound. First, they must
increasingly protest against the use of
the hanging "plow-knife," with which
the careless binder cuts the margin of
books to the quick. 1t is better, on the
whole, to have books bound with rough
edges Though these attract dust than
to have the margins mangled with an
atrocious cruelty that positively robs q
book of all It's pecuniary value. Again,
do not send a new book to the binder.
The sheets are still damp, and print of
on their opposite neighSors. Avoid
vellum; it dirties easily; it has no beau
ty, except in SO far as to remind one of
Dutch cheese, which some seem to think
a recommendation, and very little va
riety can be produced on the surface.
1t is also difficult to make title-pieces in
leather adhere to the greasy surface.
Again, let the decorations be appropri-
ate. Do not have black-letter romance
of chivalry fooled with the fowery or
nament of the eighteenth century, nor
dress Rabelais in coat after the fashion
of Derome. Lastly, don't hurry the
binder. Hasty work is incompatible
with good binding, and good bindings
are the best ornaments of library

Modern Letter.Writing.

Letter-writing has become one of the
characteristic occupations of our time.
We keep up multiplied correspondence
with people whom we know and like in
very various degrees, just as we also
possess photographs of people whose
lives have cut accidentally across our
own, but whom we may never meet
again. How different from the more
concentrated life of three or four gen.
erations ago, when letter and a por-
trait were solemn things, both connect
ed only with persons really interested
in one another. Women, especially,
treat their correspondence as an affair
of state, magnify its idleness into press
ing business, make it pretext almost
as universally available as the old-fash-
Toned headache" and end by believing
themselves as important as Cabinet Min
listers. A man in any public posi-
ton is generally assailed with let
tiers, many utterly frivolous; editors
have protected themselves only by the
avowed use of the waste-basket; but
even in the quietest walks of private
life the letter-writing which affection
ate friends expect from one is frequent
ly q severe and unavoidable ordeal.
business letters can be dispatched in
five minutes; great interests and i'm
portant transactions can be compressed
into half dozen lines and few mo-
ments of time; but when it comes to the
friendly letter, which politeness re-
quires you to write, you look hopelessly
round, with the conviction that you will
be dubbed heartless unless you deYote
at least three-quarters of an hour to de-
failing the state of your health, your
trivial occupations, the last book you
read, the last local news you heard, the
state of the weather, etc. We have
forged an additional social chain in
thus gradually making correspondence

In the year 1921 the steamer John
Gollong No. / left st. Louis for Fort
Leavenworth, being the third boat that
ever attempted to stem the current OF
the turbulent Missouri. Her cargo con-
sisted of $25O,O00 in silver coin, which
was placed in kegs and slowed in the
forecastle OF the boat; $4,000 in gold,
placed in a chest and put in the clerks
Office; 14O barrels of Monongahela
whisky; 200 stands of arms, provisions,
etc. The cargo was consigned to the
Quartermaster at Fort Leavenworth,
and was intended for Government
troops and to pay Indians for lands
bought of them by the Government.

his express direction.
SOME little things of value: If your
full of salt. and it will help it very much.
A little ginger put into sausage meat
improves the flavor. In icing cakes dip
the knife into cold water. In boiling
meat for soup, use cold water to extract
the juices. If the meat is wanted for
itself alone, plunge it into the boiling
water at once. You can get bottle or
barrel of oil off any carpet or wooden
stuff by applying buckwheat plentiful
ly. Never put water to such a grease
spot, nor liquid of any kind. Broil
steak without sailing. Salt draws the
juices in cooking; it is desirable to
keep these if possible. Cook over a
hot fire, turning frequently, soaring
both sides; place on platter, salt and
pepper TO taste. Beef having tenden-
cy to be tough can be made very palat-
able by stewing gently for two hours
with salt and pepper, taking about q
pint of the liquor when half done, and
letting the rest boil into the meat.
Brown the meat in the pot. After tax
ing up, make a gravy of the pint of
liquor saved. A small piece of char
coal in the pot with boiling cabbage re-
moves the smell. Clean oilclothes
with milk and water; brush and soap
will ruin them. Tumblers that have
milk in them should never be put in
hot water. A spoonful of stewed toma-
toes in the gravy of either roasted or
fried meats is an improvement. The
skin of boiled egg is the most effica-
cious remedy that can be applied to a
boil. Peel it carefully, wet and apply
to the part affected. 1t will draw out
the matter and relieve the soreness in a
few hours.

The street-car companies of San
Francisco think of abolishing the ticket
system. 1t seems that the wicked San
Francisco man has got into the habit OF
counterfeiting the tickets, SO the COM

in circulation. This will merely compel
the San Francisco ticket counterfeiters
to go into the lead-nickcl business, so

A Difficulty i'm Novel.

III the following interesting colloquy
in Mrs. Burnett's new novel iii Serb
ner, Louisiana" Mr.. Rogers, of the
North Carolina mountains, the father
of "Louisianny." reveals unique and
insuperable obstacle to his ever achiev-
ing fame as a writer of fiction:
"Shes ben tellin' me-" he said, as
Ferrol approached, ''thet you're littery
man, an write fur the papers-novel

rol: 1--WE are plenty enough"
"Air we, now?" he asked, rehectively.
81 had an idee thar was only one on ye
now an ag'in-jes' now an ag'in."
He paused there to shake his head.
"I've often wondered how we could
do it." he said. 81 couldn't. Thar's
some as thinks they could if they tried,
but want never that way want
never that way. I hain't no idee
could do it, not if I tried ever so. Seems
to me-" he went on, with the air of max.
ing an announcement OF 80 novel ma
ture that he must present it modestiy,
seems to me, now, as if them M does it
must hev q kinder gift fur it, now.
Lordl 1 couldn't write novel. l
wouldn't know whar to begin"
1T is difficult to decide where" said
Ferrol.
He did not smile at all. His manner
was perfect-so full of interest, indeed,
that Mr.. Rogers was quite warmed and
expanded under it.
1.-The scenes on EN- all now, bein'
mostly laid in Bagdad, would be agin
me, if nothin' else war;" he proceeded.
Being laia-?" queried Ferrol.
"In Bagdad or-wa-al, furrin parts

nothin' much about no place but North
Calling, an folks wouldn't buy it,"
But why not?" exclaimed Ferrol.
"Why, Lord bless vel" he said, hi

They'd say in a minnit: Why, thar's

ABOUT fifty years since, young En-
glish doctor arrived in New York with
a diploma and pocketful of medical
recipes. With his remain pg dollars he
bought ingredients enough to make q
dozen boxes of pills, which he peddled
on the streets. His business grew, and
he invested all he could spare in adver-
Using. Since that time and up to his
death he is believed to have spent
81 100000, until the name of Brandreth
was, like his pills-in everybody's
mouth. He invested in real estate,
built factories, bought magnificent
residence and park on the Hudson, and
died, not long ago, at the age of IL /; but
as to whether his long life was due to
taking or letting alone his own medi-
cine no trustworthy information is fur
nished. He was very liberal in his dis
position, public spirited, and pre-emin-
emily considerate of those in his en-
ploy. When they were sick he often
gave them something more substantial
than advice or his medicine; he gave
them their time, and, if they were in
need, even increased their wages.

In the course of one of his Sunday
morning sermons, Henry Ward Bee cher
said: "But there is one great question
which demands immediate attention.
The crying sins of this community to-
day are lying and dishonesty. Men
who in outward appearance are pious
and God-fearing resort every day to
lying and cheating to avoid paying
their taxes. This has become peculiar
to Brooklyn, and especially to its prop
erty-holders. We must pay our taxes

G. G. WAITE, formerly OF the Sher-
man House, Chicago, lately deceased,
was many years ago passenger con-
ductor on the Hartford and New Haven
road, and was wont to announce the
names of the stopping places in a voice
that arose above all the tumult and clat-
ter of the train. No one who ever
heard him sing out, M-m-m-eriden! "
can forget either the name Of the place
or the robust voice of the conductor.
On one occasion Daniel Webster was
aboard, and as the train approached the
latitude of the Massasoit House Waite

Pins and Whisky.

Mr.. Cough, in one of his addresses,
spoke of some things that save life by
not being swallowed:'
They tell us that alcohol gives
strength and nourishment. No, it does
not; it gives stimulus. You sit down
on hornets nest, and it may be quick
ening, but is not nourisbing.
A man once said to friend OF
mine: You are fighting whisky.
Whisky has done good deal Of good.
Whisky has saved great many lives"
What do you mean p said he.
why, whisky has saved Q great
many lives"
You remind me-" said my friend.
"of q boy who was told to write an es-
say about pin. and, in his boyish way,
he said, A pin is very queer sort OF
q thing. 1t has o round head and Q
sharp point. and il you stick them into
you, they hurt, and women use them
for cuffs and collars, and men use them
when their buttons are of. II you
swallow them, they kill you. For ,
cents you get q packet of them, and
they have saved thousands of lives
"The teacher said: What on earth
do you mean7 How have they saved
thousands of lives2'

AN attempt to rob the sub-treasury at
Philadelphia, though made nearly e
year ago, has just been divulged by the
officials, who mistakenly supposed that
silence would lead to the detection OF
the thieves. A wall more than two feet
thick was dug through, but the vault
containing $1O,0OO,OO0 in gold resisted
the attack, and the burglars only Sc
cured few dollars worth of pennies.
Five watchmen in the building declared
that they heard nothing.

A Presidents Advice.

President Andrew Jackson once gave
Secretary Thompson most excellent adj
vice as to his political conduct. We
commend the words to every boy who
is thinking as to which party he will
join when he becomes q voter. Secre-
tary Thompson saw Gen. jackson at
the time of his Inauguration as Presi-
dent:
"My father, who introduced me"
says the Secretary, @told him then that
/ was getting on the other political side
already. Instead of lecturing me, as I
supposed he would, Jackson put his
hand ON my head and said, Whatever
your politics, think always for yourself,
and let conscience be your invariable
guide"

FRANCE is revenging herself, by her
army, upon her conqueror, Germany.
The army of France is, says Won
Moltke, larger than that of Germany,
and Germany must be as strong in
troops as France. Therefore, it must
tax and conscript the people. France
can afford this, but Germany groans at
the military oppression. Such revenge
is cheaper than to wash out the dis
grace of Napoleou's abominable fasco
in blood, and France now grades the
