Choice OF Articles OF Food.

BEEF.-The grain of OK beef, when
good, is loose, the meat red and inclin-
ing to yellow. Cow beef, on the con-
trary, has a closer grain. a winter fat,
but meat scarcely as red as that Of Ok
beef. Inferior beef, which is meat
obtained from ill-fed animals or
from those which had become too
Old for food, may be know by
hard, skinny fat. a dark red lean, and,
in Old amin us, a line of horny texture
running through the meat OF the ribs.
When meat pressed by the fingers rises
up quickly, it may be considered rs that
OF an animal which was in its prime;
when the dent made by the pressure
returns slowly, or remains visible, the
animal had probably passed its prime.
and the meat consequently must be of
inferior quality. Veal should be deli
cately white. though it is often juicy
and we'll favored when rather dark in
color. Butchers, it is said. bleed calves
purposely before killing them. with a
view to make the flesh white, but this
also makes it dry and tlavOrless. On
examining the lOins. if the fat enve,Op-
ing the kidney he white and firm-look-
inc, the meat will probably be prime
and recently killed. Veal will not
keep so long rs an older meat. es-
pecially in hot weather; when young
the fat becomes soft and moist, the
meats flabby and spotted and some
what porous, like sponge. Large.
overgrown veal is inferior to small, del
icate. vet fat veal. The iillets of q COW
calf is known b. the softness of the
skin; it is preferable to the veal of a
bull call.
MUrrON.-The meat should be firm
and close in grain, and red in color. h
fat white and firm. Mutton is in its
prime when the sheep is about five
years old, though it is often killed much
Younger. If too young, the flesh feels
tender when pinched; if too old, on be-
inc pinched it wrinkles up, and SO re-
mains. In young mutton. the fat readi-
" separates; in old. it is held together
by strings of skin. In sheep diseased
of the rot, the flesh is very pale-col
ored. the fat inclining to yellow; the
meat appears loose from the bone, and
if squeezed, drops of water ooze out
from the grains; after cooking the meat
drops clear away from the bones.
Wether mutton is preferred to that Of
the eve; it NAV be known by the lump
of fat On the inside of the thigh.
LAMB. This meat will not keep long
after it is killed. The large vein in the
neck is BLUSH in color when the fore
quarter is fresh, green when becoming
stale. In the h~ind-quarter, if not recently
Tiled. the fat of the kidneys will HAYES
slight smell. and the knuckle will have
tostits frmness.- c Burlington Hssck-

Dengue, or ssBrOken Bone Fever"

DENGUE, or broken-bone fever, also
known as dandy fever" "bucket
fever" and bouquet fever" is said to
have made its first appearance as a NAL
adv in the West Indies in 1927, at which
southern part of the United States.
The disease. n has previously been
stated. received the name "dengue"
from the Spaniards of the West India
Islands, from their word dengue, de-
noting prudery, which expresses stiff
Mesa pain in the bones and stiffness
of the body being the principal features
of the sickening disease.
During the past few months reports
have come from every quarter in the
Southern States regarding the preva-
lence of this troublesome but not neces-
sarily fatal disease. But few, if any,
deaths have been made known from its
effects. Nearly every citizen of Savan-
nah has had a touch-some light. some
severe-of the malady, and not one of
them a give a definite explanation Of
the tortures of the disease. 1t has
spared no. one adults, children, little
men, large men, black men, white men,
colored men, business men, sporting
men. printers, editors, lawyers, every
n being subject to its fond embrace.
AS for a cure er a preventive for the
little nuisance, we are not prepared to
say what is good or what is not good in
either case, but leave the matter to the
physicians, who, by the way. have been
reaping a rich harvest from the unlucky
victims of the disease. Some persons
have gone so far as to say that the fever
is more violent on those who have de-
fed it before falling into its clutches:
but for this we cannot vouch. We a
say, however, that any one. sooner or
later, who is among its victims, does not
wish q second battle In which to show
better fight. Probably for the above
reason more than ANYTHING else that
is, its severity on those who defy it
we do not wish to agitate Mr.. Fever, as
our ranks have already been visited by
the merciless monster, and to his ma
jesty we say farewell.-Sdrannah

The bridecroom of a Wankecan

The bridegroom of a Waukegan
wedding was a Baptist and the bride a
Methodist. They had agreed that, i'm
mediately after the ceremony, they
would decide by chance which should
embrace the Others religion. The
officiating clergyman declined to toss up
a cent, partly because he would not
cOuntenance such a proceeding, aud
partly because, being a Methodist, he
might be accused of fraud if the bride
Won. The bride herself finally threw
the coin, and lost. When she went to
join the Baptists, however, they reject
ed her because she did not believe in
close communion. That displeased the
husband, and he went over with her to
the MethodistS.

just at this particular time. There can
be no doubt that the corrupt judges who

movement, but his efforts met with lit
tie encouragement. There are other in
,titutions Of a benevolent character
needed in Delaware, which cannot be
net by the Jail and the Alms-house,
and as the State is small these needs
might all be met in one building. Small
as Delaware is she has her deaf, her
dumb and her blind, who should be ta
ken care Of, but amongst all nothing
,,uld better enlist the sympathy Of the
philanthropist than the enforced, ifyou
please to call it, moral training Of the
neglected boys and girls who are left
TO roam the streets, and lead lives Of
rhine, infamy and shame. As the old |
ourt house at New Castle will soon be
,acated, why cannot 1t be turned into
house of correction!
