opinion, t'to look at this thing carefully
and impartially. And after looking at it,
''the careful taxpayer and the patriotic
citizen had better consider what is to be
done"
The first question which the careful tax
payer and proper citizen probably will ask
is: What can be done? There is not
likely to be much difficulty among right
minded men in agreeing what ought to be
done. Without doubt, every representa-
tive and every senator who gave his voice
for this legislative villainy ought to be
punished. He ''Should be marked man
from this day, and every honest elector
should refuse to give him countenance or
support in the future" He should be de-
feated as candidate for presentment by
his party machine, he should be rejected
by the electorate. Honesty is more than
politics, and uprightness is above party"

Open Secrets in Cookery.

Both doctors and epicures agreed up
on rare meat-the former for digestion,
the latter for taste, and that all meats
and game are the better for slight cook
ing, with the exception of veal and pork
which they do not recommend at all.
1t is quite common now for the physi-
clan to order sandwich of beef-that
is, a slice of uncooked beef, minced
fine, seasoned, and spread between two
thin slices of bread as far more nourish-
ing for weak digestion than cooked
meats. 1t is only the idea of rawness,
it seems, that is in the way, and not the
taste, as when it is out of sight most
people can learn to take this rarest beef.
This same reason that Ordains that the
juice must run in the leg of mutton
when the knife goes in, and the game
must only fly past the kitchen fire, is be-
hind this, and herein is why broiled
meats are so delicate and palatable.
The outside is so quickly cooked that
the juices within are not affected by the
fire. just what happens to milk when
it is boiled, the thickening of the skin
on top, and what is seen also in hard
boiled egg, occurs in meats; the albu-
men--the nourishing quality-is hard
ened and toughened when meat is too
long exposed TO heat.
So the careful housewife, who puts
her meat in the oven early, we'll sailed,
and watches it from time to time as all
the juices draw out of it with the salt
and the heat, until hard, brown round
or rib is ready to be put on the table,
has really extracted from the meat al
most all its nourishment. and gives the
family a mass of dried fibres to chew.
This also explains why much (and
most) frying spoils good meat The
surprise" as a French cook says, is
the main thing. You must have hot
oven for whatever is to be roasted, and
a bed of very hot Goals for broiling, or
fat that is hot enough to send up blue
smoke for whatever is to be fried. Then
the outside is Immediately hardened
over, and the rest of the process must
depend upon the size of the piece. The
trouble with most frying is that the fat
is not hot; the meat, or fish, or mush,
or oysters are left to sizzle long time,
until they gradually brown, by which
time they are dry and tasteless. But
the sudden plunge into smoking, not
burning. fat, which the quick change of
color on the surface shows, keeps all
the taste and freshness in the article to
be cooked. So with all roasts--a very
hot oven at first, and no seasoning I'M
I'll the meat browns, keeps the juice in
tact. But the joints must not be suffer-
ed to burn. and the oven must be cool
ed of little as soon as the outside is
well coated. After this the old rule of
fifteen minutes 10 the pound can be

The Cape May correspondent of the New
York San says: There is considerable ex-
citement here in social circles since it has
become known that exquisite boxes of
flowers, belt boquets, and such delicate
tributes have been sent to certain lady
at Cape May daily from the executive
mansion. The lady is well known, and is
accomplished and beautiful, and the flowers
she wears attracts much attention for their
loneliness. President Arthur is still in
Washington, and, no doubt, future events
at the white house will explain the mean
ing of these delicate offerings. The lady
left Cape May for New York recently. She
is still the recipient of floral tributes"

TARRED AND FEATHERED

NEW LONDON, Conn. Aug. g.
Especial The village of Montville, seven
miles from this city, and place of some
one thousand inhabitants, is in fever of
excitement over recent sensation there.
1t seems that one Peter Grow, about 40
years old, whose character has always been
considered good until recently, has been
in the habit of visiting two elderly maid
ems, Julia and Estelle Fellows. with more
frequency and less prudence than some of
the thoughtful neighbors considered adj
visable. Consequently the tongue of
scandal linked the name of Crow and Eel
lows together in rather disagreeable con-
nection. On Thursday, July 81, Mrs. Crow
died. She was buried on Saturday. On
the Monday following the gay Peter paid
a long visit to the Fellows residence and
on Tuesday Miss Estelle returned
the call and communed with Peter at his
cottage for several hours. This again set
the tongues of the gossips revolving on
their pivots. On Friday, however, the
village was set agog by the sight of Peter
and Estelle returning from a drive to Nor
witch, eight miles away, where they had
been welded just six days after the burial
of Mrs. Crow No. l. On Friday night,
about twenty-five of the indignant neigh
bors met in a sequestered spot, donned
disguise, and marched upon the Grow cot
tage. Arriving there, they knocked for ad-
mittance, which being refused, they forced
the door, and dragged Grow from his bridal
nest. Taking him across the road into an
open field, they literally ladled Peter with
pitch, emptied two of his own feather beds
over him, and, after rolling him around in
the plumage few minutes, returned the
helpless bridegroom to his anxious Estelle
and dispersed to their homes. Peter Crow
is an Irishman of some property. while the
Fellows sisters are highly connected in
Montville and Hartford.

The Home Of a Worker.

A house has at last been built, or rath-
er details of its plan have become known
| to few, which is one of the first per-
| tectly successful attempts recorded 10
carry out individual plans and wishesin
spite of architects. Mr.. John Brett, X.
A, who had sought but never found
house in which his requirements could
be met, and whose family was small,
each member having some distinctive
pursuit, determined upon an entirely
original arrangement of space. 1t was
a necessity given such a family To sim
plify domestic life, reduce hired service
to a minimum and leave every one az
exempt as possible from petty cares
Silence was another requisite, and as
pictures were an important feature Of
each room cross lights also were TO be
avoided. hooks and projections of ev-
cry sort were to be excluded as harbOr-
ing dirt and dust, and thus increasing
work, and all the rooms were as far as
possible to be fitted with permanent
furniture, thus dispensing with articles
likely to be displaced or get out of or
der. Every floor is of asphalt laid upon
concrete, and all upon the same level,
and neither noise nor vibration is pro-
duced by the loudest and toughest play
among the children. The house is but
one story high, every room vaulted with
brick arches, but one small portion be-
ing raised to two stories. The front
door opens into small hall commune
eating directly with a central picture
gallery. Beyond this, which is the
largest room in the house, abe casual
caller never penetrates. The house is
heated by hot water and the cooking
done by gas, the sole chimney beingnot
on the house but on furnace-room
without, where fire is lighted in Octo-
Der and continued to May, the tempera-
ture being kept at 60 degrees, far below
the requirements of the average Ameri-
can. The ventilation is perfect, the
change of air being so complete that
while there is no draught cigars smoked
at night leave no trace in the morning.
The walls are red brick, the windows
square-headed and fitted with sasheS
The window heads are of stone, the
panels on them being slightly carved,
and parapet is continued about the
house, pierced at intervals with arched
openings. Altogether, while not adapt
ed to popular needs, it is full of features
that might advantageously be copied by
many who with special pursuits find
themselves always hampered by the ia
cilities for noise and other disturbances
common to the average house.-Our
