How to Carve Quail.

In regard to carving, Bill Nye says:
| began my education In this line by
carving butter in hot weather, and
gradually led up to quail. FIRST mort
gage your home and get the quail.
The quail should be cooked before
carving, but not until the chronome-
ter balance and other organs have
been removed. Place your quail on
the toast L. a sitting position, then
passing the dissecting knife down be-
tween the shoulder bla des, biscct tn
polonaise. Another method is to take
thu quail bJ the hind leg and to eat
it, asking the guests to do the same.
This Breaks up the feeling of stiffness
that is apt to prevail at formal din

his or her nose immersed in quail,
good feeling cannot fail to show
itself.

Arab Courage.
BIackwood's Magazine.


The courage of the BedOuin'is one of
their most lauded virtues, but one
which within the present century has
not been cOnspicuously indicated.
have seen more than once a tribe on a
raid, and have heard more than one
tale of Bedouin battles. AS a rule.
the bulletin seems to be to the follow
ing effect: eve bravely attacked
the enemy, which madeits appearance
IN force of one to our ten. We took
several prisoners, and the enemy lost
heavily, two horses and several COWS
being slain. At length his remaining
forces withdrew, and we found our
casualties to include one mare hurt in
the leg by spear. We cut off the
toretingers Of our prisoners IN remem-
brance OF those Of our tribe whose
boards and hair had been cut off on a
former occasion, and letting them go,
drove OFT the captured camels, and en-
deavOred to conceal as far as possible
the direction of our victorious retreat.
Such are the deeds which have heard
recounted, and although men are
sometimes slain in battle, and Fahed
EN- Nimar has legs which have been
peppered with small shot, it must be
remembered that to initiate a blood
feud Is most serious circumstance in
tribe life, and that the whole policy
OF the leaders will for many years be
directed to the healing of the breach
thus caused, and to the settlement of
blood money. When a disagreement
occurs between two tribes they will
gather their spearmen, concentrate
their encampment, and square up, so
to speak, toward each other, and they
generally contrive, before matters
come to an open breach, to find a
third party willing to mediate, and a
compromise is established, to the
great relief of the bold warriors on
either side.

Why the Cutlery RuSted,

A cutlery manufacturer found at
one time large portion of his goods
being returned to him as in damaged
condition. Instead of bright, clean
surfaces, he found rusty, deeply oxid-
lied blades. After much watching to
determine the cause, whether damp
paper, the ill-wil of some Of his
agents or some other cause, it was To-
Gated upon the man who sorted and
wrapped the knives in packages.
Eevery thing he touched was found to
rust, from the peculiar acid character
of his skin exhalations. It is we'll
known that some persons can not car
ry pocket knives or brightiron articles,
as keys, &c, about their person with
out the same becoming very rusty.

Through a narrow pass be-
tween these rocks and we are now
in a rock-inclosed basin almost be-
meath the precipitous cliffs of the
main island. A pile Of smoothly
washed stones afforded a landing
place, and we were at the mouth of
large cavern and near a tunnel
worn by the waters through a mass of
rock. A railroad train could pass
through this tunnel at low tide; at
high tide it is sacred to the wild
waves and breakers. To the right
there IS den, and such den, too

thrown at them that the large sea

not brave and made no attempt to
protect their young. On the con-
trary, as soon as they saw us looking
IN their nursery they gave loud banks,
snOrts or roars and dived deep into
the water, which rose and fell in
foamy breakers at the mouth of the
cave. A hundred could have been
caught with ease, SO stupid did they
appear to be.

A Steers Seven Miles Swim.

New ok sun.
Captain Frank Robinson, owner of
the yacht Fremont, of TottenyilIe, S.
l., started for fishing cruise a few
days ago. While anchored near the
Horseshoe Mr.. Robinson espied a
unfamiliar object moving about in the
lower bay. Lowering a boat he pulled
toward the thing, and after a mile
chase came up with it. The object Of
the Captains search proved to be a
large steer, which was swimming
about in the bay, although tied to a
heavy board. The steer was swimming
easily, without extra effortapparentIy,
although fully three miles from shore.
The Captain attached a rope to the
animals horns and then freed it from
the board. Heading his boat to the
shore, the steer was guided that way,
and was landed near Sandy Hook, ap,
parently quite exhausted by it's long
swim, which Captain Robinson esti-
mates must have been at least seven
miles. After a brief rest the animal
started away from the beach, appar-
emily making for home, while the
Captain returned to his yacht.
