If your coal fire is low throw on Ia
blespoonful of salt, and it will help 1t
very much. A little ginger put into
sausage meat improves the flavor. In
icing cake dip the knife frequently In
cold water. In boiling meats for soups
use cold water to extract the juice. If
the meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge
in boiling water at once. You can get a
bottle or barrel of oil off any carpet or
wooden stuff by applying dry buckwheat
plentifully and faithfully; never put
water to such a grease spot or liquid OF
any kind. Broil steak without sailing;
salt draws the Juice in cooking; 1T Is de-
sirable to keep these in if possible; cook
over hot fire, turning frequently, scar
ing on both sides; place on platter,
salt and pepper to taste. Beef having a
tendency to be tough can be made very
palatable by stewing very gently for
two hours, pepper aud salt, taking out
about q pint of liquid when done, and
letting the rest boil into the meat.
Brown the meat in the pot. After taking
up make gravy of the pint of liquid
saved. A small piece of charcoal in the
pot with boiling cabbage removes the
smell. Clean oilcloth with milk and
water; brush and soap will ruin them.
Tumblers that have had milk in them
should never be put in hot water. A
spoonful of stewed tomatoes in the gravy
of either roasted or fried meats is an
Improvement. The skin of boiled egg
is the most efficacious remedy that can
be applied TO q boil. Peel it carefully,
wet, and apply it to the part affected.
IT will draw off the matter and relieve
the soreness in few hours.

A Mighty Hunter.
Shreveport tLa.) Times.

A few days ago Jim Young, the mo-
dern Nimrod of the Southwest, while
on hunt in the Sodo Lake bottom
was told by planter of the neighbor-
hood to kill hog of his if he came
across one in his mark. Jim killed tho
hog and not being able to Ego the
whole hog" at one trip, hung up part OF
the deceased, and on his return found
one-quarter gone and bear signs around
the place. Leaving the rest OF the
meat on the bush he returned that night
and lay in wait for bruin. Towards
daylight the bear came, and Jim tum-
bled her. While engaged in butcher
ing the bear the cub approached and
met the fate of the old one. Hearing
the hounds coming in full cry, Jim took
stand and soon had famous buck Of
his feet; very soon afterwards another
buck appeared and he killed that one
also, thus having killed in one morning.
and at one stand, one large bear, one
cub and two monster bucks.
Jim says he at the same time ana
place killed two wild cats and three
wild turkeys, but this must be taken
cum grdno sails. The bears and the
buck we have seen, they speak TOT
themselves-m etsphoricslly speaking.
Parties whose hogs range In fns

The Center Of Population.

For several weeks an expert "calcula-
tor" has been at workin the census Of
fee figuring out the location of the cen.
ter of population of the United States.
It is not an easy task, as one. can imag-
inc who gives the matter little thought,
the whole territory is divided up into
small squares, and the population ascer-
tanned for each square. This is arrived
at by consulting the population of each
civil district, township or ward. The
squares are made to balance against
each other until common center is as
certained. An expert calculator has al.
ready been engaged more than month
in this work, and another month will be
required before the true center" is
known. The work has progressed far
enough, however to show that the GEN.
ter will be very near Cincinnati, certain
ly not over four or five miles from the
business center of the city. A few
weeks ago it was thought the center
would make final landing" upon the
hills which encircle Cincinnati ito the
northward, but progressive calculations
now indicate that it will cross the Ohio
River and establish itself on the south
side. This is owing to the unexpected
increase Of population in the south.
which will cause tho center to shift
further southwark than heretofore.

William Hunter made strenuous efforts
to perfect system OF embalming. AT
the present day the Italians are the
great proficients in the art, which is
mainly practiced by professors OF anat-

aimed at, in addition to the prime one

natural contour and color and the small

The italian professors embalm without
evisceration, injecting their fluids into
the arota, and by their preparations they
are able to preserve the features quite
unaltered, or rather with all the wrin-

employed in the case of General Gar

had changed color we presume it was
not the Italian, nor one so perfect In Its

from $3.50 ~ $l4 week; in New Eng

the $4,000 bales Of cotton they nse an

for $4,000, to which the purchasing
company added $50 0OO for repairs and

From old Adam Smith down on
writer on wealth and the way OF produc-
ing it has omitted to recite the innum'
cradle advantages which flow from a
division and diversification of labor.
There is crying need of the enforce
ment of this precept all through the
South. There are too few things for a
man to do. Manufacturing, more than
anything else, will diversity labor here
and create new employments. From
carpentry and bricklaying to millinery
and portrait-painting, there is scarcely a
single vocation of man which does not
callfor willing and skillful hands in every
Southern county as soon as the growth
of manufactures shall have made this
part of the Union the home of peo-
pie as busy and prosperous as the New
Englanders. A failure Of the potato
crop brings famine upon Ireland,
because the Irshman, having no chance
to become an operative or mechanic,
must needs take to raising potatoes,
like his father before him, and wet
season or dry one throws two-thirds
of the population Of the island on the
charity of the world. So bad cotton
crop leaves no purse untouched here in
the South, so completely and univer
sally are these people devoted to that
single crop. In the not distant day,
when the South shall have ten indus
tries where she now has one, there will
be no ill wind, not even half crop of
cotton, which won't blow somebody
good.

A writer in the Euanino Post d.
scribes at some length tho old dsslli,s
ground 1t Weehawken. Years go
when the duellihg code WAS resorted d
much more frequently than ct present
Is the law that should settle many per.
sonal difficulties, Weehawkcn was fam.
Gus all over the world. Luckily the
luelling code is fossil in New York.
and Weehawken itself is now studied
ns ono of the fossil remains Of ono Of
tho dark pages Of our history. The
most noted of the duels that have been
fought at Weehawken was that between
Hamilton and Burr, July II, 1904. A
stone is religiously preserved in the
town on which is inscribed, aOn tha
spot fell, July II, 1904, Major General
Alexander Hamilton" and minor in.
scription informs the public that the
monument was erected by the st. An.
drew's society of the state Of New York.
American enterprise has Clipped the
stone, and many Of the letters are en-
tirely obliterated. Few monuments in
America accessible to the vandalism
of relic hunters have escaped similar
DETACHMENT.
Next to the Hamilton-Bprr duel the
most noted that have occurred OF Wee.
hawken are the following; The duel
between Aaron Burr and John B.
Church, fought September 2, Ito, ia
the first of which there is any record.
Church was Alexander Hamilton's
brother-in,law. The quarrel grew out
of charges by Church against Burr as
q legislator. Shots were exchanged
when Church, induced by his seconds,
offered an apology, which Burr ac-
copied.
The next duel was between young
lawyer named Eaker, one OF Burr's re-
tainers and young man named Price,
Three shots were fired when Price de,
clared himself satisfied. He remarked
that Eacker "was such lath of fel.
low that he might shoot all day to no
purpose" The next day Philip Ham.
ilton, eldest son of Alexander Hamil,
ton took up the quarrel, challenged
Eacker, and was fatally shot through the
body. Eacker was unframed. The
quarrel originated in theatre, and
Hamilton and Price are said to have
been the agressors.
On July 81, 1902, the Swartwout-
Clinton duel took place. Five shots
were exchanged, and Swartwout re-
ceived two wounds in the leg. Clinton
remarked II don't want to hurt Swart-.
won't, but I wish I had the principal
here"
November 81, 1903, Richard Riker
and Robert Swartwout fought duel
there. Riker was injured in the leg,
July S,1915, was fought the Gouver-
neur-M Maxwell duel, in which Gouver'
neur was killed.
In 1916 Green killed Price in q
duel.
In 1919 the bloodless duel between
Commodore Perry and Captain John
Heath was fought
The last duel at Weehawken occurred
September 49,. 1S45. The pistols were
loaded with cork. The farce was an in
dication of the healthy change in pub
lie sentiment that had occurred in re-
gard to the barbarous custom of duel
inc
