1t was a sudden inspiration which in
duced Sir George Rookie, as he 'ay.
with a combined fleet of British and
Dutch ships, inactive OFF Tangler, to
make dash AZ the great Spanish fort
ress on the opposite side of lhe straits.
Reports, which proved well founded,
said that Gibralter was but weakly gar
risoned, and that its defences were
wholly inadequate to protect it from a
vigorous attack; bold and sudden
descent might wrest it therefore from
Spanish hands. Accord ngly, upon he
frat of August, l70i, the fleet appeared
in the bay, and summoned the place to
surrender. a certain Don Diego de
Salinas was its governor, and he had at
mis- disposal just eighty regular soldiers,
TO which, by great eXertions, he added
a few hundred volunteers and militia
With these all ill-armed and ill-found
as they were, and with but few guns
and small stores OF powder and shot, he
made what show he could; but the
British blue-jacketS and marines land
ing at three points-at the Old and New
moles, and at bastion now known as
jumpers, from the naval captain of
that name who here led the assault
carried all before them. As last re-

children, went in procession to the
shrine OF the Virgin de Europe, to in
tereede for divine interpo iition; but
they fell into the hands of the enemy.
who had by this time made themselves
masters Of the New mole. Successful
also at the other points, Don Diego had
no alternative but TO capitulate and
haul down his flag. The captors then
took formal possession of the place in
the name of Prince George of Hesse,
who was present, and who claimed the
threne of Spain. But it was the union
jack which was hoisted, and which has
continued TO wave over the rock of Gil
bralter from that time to this.

STRANGE that people will suffer so
much from feelings, the blues and de-
bilitated body, when they can be so
surely cured by simply taking a few
doses of Simmons Liver Regulator. 1t
will impart new life and vigor to the
whole system by purifying the Stomach
and regulating the Liver. Could our
readers be brought into contact with
the host of respectable witnesses who
regard Simmons Liver Regulator as
the safest and best family medicine for
Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, COnstipa-
tiOn, BiliOusness, Collc, Sour Stomach
and Malarious Fevers, they would no
longer wonder at the great fame it has
acquired throughout the country.
. ''As general family remedy for
Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver, Constipations,
etc., l hardly ever use anything else,
and have never been disappointed in
effect produced; it seems to be almost
perfect cure for all diseases of the
Stomach and Bowels.

What the Pennsylvania Railroad Is Doing
In Philadelphia.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
is indefatigable in its efforts to improve
the carrying capacities of its road, and at
the same time accommodate the travelling
public in the best manner. All along its
various lines new and commodious depots
have been erected, and at the same time
track facilities multiplied to supply busi-
ness demands. But the work of the great
est magnitude and importance on this line
has been undertaken by The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in building an Elevated
Railroad from their present depot in West
PhiladelphiatoF TO Fifteenth and Market streets,
Philada., thus bringing their line into the
very heart Of the city and landing passengers
within few minutes walk of the principal
Hotels and business places of the city. This
important work which was commenced in
November last has been pushed rapidly for
ward during the Winter and Spring months
and is now in such condition as to war
rant the belief that the Line will be COM
pleted and in operation by the first of De-
cember of this year.
The Elevated road starts from q point
near the Western end of the passenger
SuClS Ut w tcl anu lNAuS bI a
direct line with Fllbert Street to the river,
crossing the Schuylkill Just north of
Market Street on a three span iron bridge,
46i feet in length, which will be built to
accommodate two passenger and one freight
track. The road is carried over the Gas
Worksproperty and at 22d ST. leaves Filbert
and turns into the property lying between
Filbert and Jones Sts., which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company recently pur-
chased for this purpose, thus providing
ample room for eight tracks between this
point and Fifteenth street.
The road will be constructed in the best
possible manner From the bridge to
twenty-second street it will be supported
by wrought iron pillars eighteen inches in
diameter, placed on stone foundations,
from that point to the depot the road bed
will consist of series OF brick arches rest
ing on solid stone foundations, there being
about twelve of these arches TO a square
and the railroad being carried over all the
intervening street crossings and being so
constructed as not to interfere with travel
on the streets.
The new depot will be built to face the
Public Buildings, and will extend back to
Sixteenth street. 1t will be made to ac-
commodate both the passenger and freight
business of the Company, giving largely in
creased facilities for both.
Over one thousand men are now en-
ployed on this improvement, and the force
will be still further increased as the work
progresses. The cost of building the road
ana purchasing the property required for
the purpose is estimated at Three Millions
of Dollars

How TO Cook PoULTRY.-Old poul-
tey may be made tender and savory by
the following method: Soak it in cold
water with a handful or two of ashes
thrown in for twenty-four hours; pick
off the feathers and let 1t hang for
twenty-four hours longer. Then let it
boil for quarter of an hour in veal
broth or water; take it out, lard and
bake it, when nearly done baste it with
hot butter. By this method the flavor
of a young chicken may be impaired to
an old fowl. Poultry of all kinds re-
quires thorough cooking, as when un-
derdOne it is tasteIess. 4 turkey
weighing eight pounds should be baked
three hours and basted every ten or
fifteen minutes with its own drippings
and melted butter. If proper care is
taken in dressing poultry it will not
need washing. A wet cloth may be
used to wipe 1t clean if necessary. but
soaking it in water takes out the flavor.
Young poultry may be known by hav-
ing smooth legs and supple feet. If
the legs Are rough and the feet are
stiff the poultry is old and stale.

Don't Say a Word.

There are some men in Detroit who do
not lose their presence of mind when con-
fronted with startling political news. One
of this class, an even-going, honest-minded
elector, was mysteriously approached the
other day by an unknown, who carefully
-ocked the office door and whispered:
81 have been depatized to wait on you
and say that the boys are talking you up as

''You are known to be honest and re-

swell, guess So"
Good! You are in the hands of your
friends. Don't say word"
The unknown left the Office on tiptoe,
but in ten minutes he returned, and then
carelessly observed:
''Oh, by the way, I'm s. short on lit
tie bill to-day. If you could spare it, I'd
be ever so much obliged, and I'd return it
on Saturday"
''Say!' replied the citizen in whisper,
as he beckoned the other 10 the door-''all
you've got to do is to keep still You are
in the hands of your friends! Don't say a
word. Let me fix this boom for you,'
He showed the unknown gently out, locked
the door and went back to his desk with
the firm conviction that some else would
be rendered the domination.

DOMESTIC.

How TO Cook CODFIsH.-Many peo-
pie. knowing little about Goldfish and
perhaps only having eaten them when
spoiled by cooking, have hut a faint
idea of their excellence when properly
prepared for the table. When rightly
boiled, such a fish exhibits the flesh
separately from the bone in solid flakes
that retain their white curvature after
they are distributed by the carver.
Even the scraps LETT from such cod are
never wasted, but can be made into a
palatable dish by removing the flakes
from the bones and skin before becom-
ing cold. and when wanted placing
them in a stewpan with what is left of
the sauce; then add a dozen or more
fresh oysters with their liquor, and if
these do not moisten the fish enough,
it requires only to be moistened, add a
spoonful or two of melted butter. Warm
carefully over a gentle fire and when
once thoroughly hot through set aside.
Get your dish, warm it, and surround
it with fine mashed potatoes. In the
middle of the dish place the warmed
up fish with its sauce; crumble over
the fish grated bread-crumbs, and set
in hot oven for few minutes until
nicely Drowned on the top 1t will
prove a most desirable disk. Fresh cod
cut into slices two inches thick, dress
ed plentifully with eggs and bread
crumbs, and fried light brown with
plenty of lard, is really delicious. AT
least so thinks some of our best fami-
lies and even fastIdioUs epicures out
here in all places.

BUCKwHEAT.-A large proportion of
buckwheat consumed in the West
comes from the Eastern States and
Canada. Every season several car
loads of buckwheat flour comes to this
market from New York, where consid-
cradle attention is given TO producing
the grain. a large proportion of what
is sold as buckwheat flour is not true to
name. 1t Is often a mixture of rye
meal and wheat middlings, to which a
minute portion of buckwheat is added.
The marker is generally well supplied
with what passes for buckwheat flour,
whether the crop of buckwheat is large
or small. Poor as its quality is buck
wheat flour generally sells for about
the same price as the best article made
from select winter wheat. Now The
yield of buckwheat is much larger than
that of ordinary wheat, and il can be
produced at much less trouble and ex-
, pense. The seed costs very little, and
the grain can be raised on land that
would not return the seed of wheat,
rye, or barley. All the work connect
ed with producing a ciOp of buckwheat
can be performed at times when other
farm matters are not pressing The
/ land on which IL is to be grown need
not be .plowed till midsummer, and
the crop is not ready TO cut till after all
the common grams are harvested.
Buckwheat is crop for small farmers
TO raise. as it is ordinarily harvested
and threshed By hand tools. 1t is a
good crop TO raise for the purpose of
subduing tough sod. 1t is notan ex-
hausting crop, like wheat or barley. a
good business may be built up in sup
plying the market with first-class ar
ticle of buckwheat flour, put up in
small packages suited to the wants of
private families. Country millers
would do well TO look after this branch
of trade,

TEA drinkers nowadays will do well
to apply the following simple test to
the tea purchased of their grocers ::
Turn out the infused leaves, and if
they are found a good brown color,
with fair substance, the tea will be
wholesome; but if the leaves are black
aud OF a rotten texture, with an oily
appearance, the tea will not be tit to
drink. The purer the tea, the more
the distinctively brown color of the
leaf strikes the attention. The mixing
that.is frequently adopted to reduce
prices results in two kinds of leaves
being supplied together. 1t is import
ant TO see that the leaves have the SER
rated or saw-like edges, without which
10 tea is genuine.

WHITE furs or ermine may be clean
ed as follows: Lay the furs on table
and rub them well with bran made
moist with warm water rub until quite
dry, and afterwards with dry bran.
The wet bran should be put on with
flannel and the dry with piece of
book muslin. The light furs, in addi-
tion to the above, should be well rub
bed with magnesla or a piece of book
muslin after the bran process. Dry
flour may be used instead of wet bran.
They should be rubbed against the way

piece of butter. To every quart of the
pumkin, after mashirg, add one quart
of new milk and four eggs, the yolks
and whites beaten separately; white
sugar to taste, and cinnamon and nut
meg as desired; a very little brandy is
i great improvement. The oven in
which they are baked must be hot or
they will not brown. Ii is as well TO

APPLE TAPIoCA.-Take one tea

pare and core eight large sour apples,

Fill the centre OF each with sugar, a
pinch of cinnamon and piece of but
ter if desired (the latter gives it little
better flavor, but it is good enough
without.l Put in the oven about an
hour before it is wanted for the table,
cook till the apples are soft. To be
eaten with cream or milk and sugar.
This makes a very simple but delicate

SAVING MANURE.-As there is much
controversy in the agricultural papers
at present as to how to make and save
manure, | will give my plan in as few
words as possible. First, l keep my
horses and cows in the same stable;
bed my horses with good wheat or oats
straw; and when they have stood on it
one night, / clean all the straw and
manure out of the stalland put it under
the COWS. By doing this l save straw
and il makes the manure finer. The
horse manure is always dry, and by
putting il under the cows il absorbs all
the urine, and il also keeps the horse
manure from burning when thrown in a
heap. When the manure gets well
warmed in heap take long handled
manure fork and turn il over, and by
that time il is well mixed and ready for
the land. If any of your correspond
ents have any better way, let us hear
from them.
