Turkish Carpets.


ONE of the most important industries

approaches five hundred thousand dol

remain In Turkey. These large exports
keep prices at fair level, and ia the

that as many species Of birds have been

Experiment in Poultry KerniuS

In reference to dressing and keeping
poultry, j., of the Philadelphia Record
gives this sound and good advice:
After the fowl Is killed and plucked, cut
off the head and feet, and draw out the en-
tire inside parts. Then carefully wash and
place aside to cool. After cooling sprinkle
good table salt into every part of the insi lie,
and well rub salt on the outside of the body;
then nicely clean and salt the heart, liver
and gizzard and place them toto the car
cass, as many buyers prefer to have tnem
Or, if preferred, clean the fowls as direct
ed, and instead of sailing, place tn IN in
an air tight box, and at the bottom OF the
box burn small quantity of sulphur. A
soon as the sulphur fumes begin to rise
close the box, and at the end of half al
hour take out the fowls and pack them for
market They will keep for weeks by this
process, as the sulphur fumes effectually
prevent fermentation in all substances; and
instead of being injurious are positively
beneficial, in completely destroying every.
thing that could by any means be injurious
in the carcass. 1t will give a peculi Il
glazed appearance to the fowl, and Sigh,
odor of the sulphur may remain (ofter
none), but the moment the carcass is heated
for cooking the sulphur gas passes off, and
the meat is purer and better than before.

A Lake 1000 Feet Deep.
From the Jacksonville (Ore.) Record.

From the Jacksonville (Ore.) Record.
everal of our citizens returned last week
from the Great Sunken Lake, situated in
the Cascade Mountains, about seventy five
miles nor beast from Jacksonville. This
lake rivals the famous valley of Sinbad the
Sailor. It is thought to average 1000 feet
down to water all around. The depth of
the water is unknown, and its surface is
smooth and unrufied, as it is SO far below
the surface IF the mountains that air cur
rents do not affect it. Its length is estima-
ted at twelve or fifteen miles, and it's width
ten or twelve. There is mountain in the
center having trees upon it. 1t lies still,
silent and mysterious in the bosom of the
everlasting hills, like huge well scoopeI
out by the hands of the giant genii of the
mountains in the unknown ages Of gone by,
and around it the primeval forests watch
and ward are keepi e. The visiting party
fred a rifle into the water several times at
an angle of forty-fve degrees, and were
able to note several seconds of time from
the report of the gun until the ball struck
the water. Such seems incredible, but it
is vouched for by our most reliable citizens.
The lake is certainly most remarkable Gu

Testn for Honey.

Mr.. 81. Richey, Sing Sing, N. y. .is quoted
as claiming that the Following is . "sure
test" for purity of honey: "One teaspoonful
Of honey put into wine glass, with about
the same quantity of water to dissolve it;
then put in few drops of tincture of iron.
This turns pure honey black" / have Civ
en- the above most thorough trial on seve-
al specimens of honey, as follows: Linden,
Glover, Buckwheat, Golden-rod, Tulip,
and samples from California and Louisiana,
and poisonous honey, gathered in one Of
eastern states, in 1880. Most of the sam
Piles were known positively to be pure; 1
feel certain that the others were. I also
submitted several samples of glucose to
the same test. The only sample that gave
any color of black, as the iron was added,
was the poisonous honey. All the others
maintained the same amber color of the
reagen. Isuppose that the black color when
it comes, is owing to the presence of tannin
in the grains of pollen that are in the hon
sy. We thus get taunate of iron. The
test then is not for the purity of the honey,
but for the presence of tannin in the honey.
Our honey this season seems to be very free
of tannin.

very strange one to American heusekeepers.
In Madrid the washing is also done by pro-

The Rev. William Arthur, father of the
president, was remarkable for his readiness
in debate. Some years ago, at meeting of
the Rev. MIR. Walden, who had been set
tied in the west, but had recently taken a
church at Troy, said, 81 can tell the breth-
ern that if they think any sort of ministers

never knew before why Brother Walden

When the tariff question comes definite
ly before congress, the people would do
well to remember that sugar, one of the
necessaries of life, pays an average import
duty Of about 81 per cent. of it's value, the
amount thus paid by the consumer now
reaching $4,000, 900 yearly. Our eastern
protectionists. who are anxious to tighten
the peoples burdens, must have this fact
kept steadily before them.

OLD AND YOUNG.

They soon grow old who grope for gold
In marts where ALI bought and sold:
Who live for self and on some shelf
In darkened vaults hoard up their pelf;
Cankered and cruste DER with mold.
For them their youth itself is old.
They ne'er grow old who gather gold
Where spring awakes and flowers unfold
Where suns arise in joyou sskies,
AID fill the soul within their eyes,
For them the immortal birds have sung;
For them old 40 itself young.
