Stuus by a ..snake DoesOr."

READING, Pa, October 11.--Mrs. f.
Butter, of this city, was recently stung
by an insect commonly called q "snake
doctor" or ''snake feeder" about a
month ago. Since then she bas suffered
in o terrible manner. At the time of
the sting the lady was sitting on the
step at her residence, when the insect
alighted on her hand for but a moment.
At the time she felt only slight burn
ing sensation. The next day her hand
began to swell, but she did not consult
a physician for two days after wa rd.
BY that timo her hand and arm bad
assumed fearful proportions and she
experienced the most agonizing pain,
as though her arm was burning up, and
her sufferings could not have been more
painful had she thrust the member into
living fire.
The entire hand and arm became COW
cred with numberless blisters and these
discharged poisonous green matter.
The swelling finally left the upper part
of her arm and is now gradually reCed-
ing. The greatest pain is experienced
towards evening, about the time of day
she was stung. Blisters continue To

CHEsTERTowN, Md, Dot. 1.-THE
Judiciary convention Of tho second cir.
Quit was held here to-day, and much
interest was manifested as to the result
with reference to Judge Stump. The
convention was organized by the cleo.
tion of DIR. George H. Moore, of Caroline,
as chairman, and s. j. Hopkins Of
Talbot, secretary. Ex.GOv. Thomas
placed in nomiD alton the present bench,
Robinson chief Judge and Wickes and
Stump for associates, and in eloquent
words portrayed their fitness. Messrs.
Brown and Legg, Of Queen Anne's ,and
Pearce of Kent, also spoke earnestly in
their favor. Mr.. Constable nominated
Cruiksank to take the place Of Stump,
and argued in favor of Cruikshank.
The present bench received all the
votes but those of Cecil, thu delegates
from that county voting for Cruik-
shank. Mr.. Writ, on the part of the
Cecil delegation, refused to make the
nomination unanimous. The friends
of Cruikshank say that the friends Of
Stump gave them to understand that
he would abide by the result In Cecil
They say further that the action of a
candidate In allowing his name to go
before a convention after he had failed
to carry his own county, Is unprece'
dented. Mr.. Constable, will, it is said !,
support all the nominees, but it is al
legged that the majority Of Cruikshank's s
friends, who are very sore over his de-
feat, will scratch Stump.
Mr.. Constable has carried the point
he went into the 6ght to gain namely,
to show his own strength in Cecil. 1t
is said his course has improved his sen.
atorial aspirations. 1t is claimed that
the treatment of Cruikshank will en-
courage strong fight on the part OF
the Republicans but 1t is believed that
the popularity Of the old judges will
undoubtedly assure their election.
The news of the nomination Of Judge
Stump was received at Elkton with
great rejoicing by his friends. Mr.
Oruikshank' s friend Z, 1t Is said, are
indignant. and condemn the proceed
ings as irregular.

Chairman Cooper, OF he Republican

'It will arouse the business men, par

How to Cook Beefsteak.

It requires courage in the light Of our
knowledge, and almost daily experience,
for one to assert that there is no reason
why every beefsteak that is put on the
table should not, so far as cooking is
concerned, approach the ideal steak.
Subscriber" writes from far Louisiana
to know how his cook may be instructed
to give him good beefsteak. A men,
Der Of my own family has brought the
cooking of this article of food to what
we consider perfection. The first re-
quirement is not SO much q tender and
juicy steak, though this is always to be
devoutly desired, but glowing bed of
Goals. wire gridiron, a stout one, with
good-sized wires, q double one, so that
you can turn the steak without touching
it. The steak should not be pounded,
only in extreme cases, when it is cut too
thick and is Is stringy." Attempt moth
ing else when cooking the steak; have
everything else ready for the table: the
potatoes and vegetables all in their re-
spective dishes in the warming closet or
oven, with the door left open a little
way. From ten minutes onward is
needed to cook the steak. The time
must depend on the size, and you can
easily tell by the color of the gravy
which runs from the steak, when gently
pressed with knife, as to it's condition.
If the master of the house likes it g rare
done," when there is suspicion Of
brown gravy with the red it will be safe
to infer that it is done enough for him;
IT, as is generally the case, the next
stage is the favorite one, remove the
steak from the gridiron the instant the
gravy is wholly of light brown. Re-
move it to hot platter, pepper and salt
to suit your taste, put on small Jumps of
butter, and then for two brief moments
cover it with hot plate, the two mo-
ments being sufficient to carry it to the
table. One absolutely essential factor
in the preparation of good beefsteak is
that it should be served at once. If
"Subscribern can impress it upon his
cook that she is not to let the steak stand
and steam while she is doing other
things, he will be likely to receive his
reward for SO doing. If he can inspire
his cook with desire to excel, if he can
induce her to believe that it is worth
while to take pains, he will do an even
more important work than to produce d
delicious steak. | often think that a
good cook must belong to one or two
orders she must be Christian of great
conscientiousness, or person of album
dant culture, whose sole delight is to |
do well and with thought whatever is |
undertaken. IN. I. Eyening Post.
