Royal Gossip.


In spite of the combined efforts of
her family and medical advisers, the
queen obstinately declines to go
abroad for her health, and insists on
spending the autumn at Balmoral.
She is determined to be near John
Browns grave, and will make daily
visits to it, continuing new testimo-
malls of the esteem in which she holds
the memory of that departed gillie.
Her family are exaSperated at her ex-
penditure of feeling on this subject,
which begins to border closely on the
ridiculous. Her majesty is very angry
with the Duke of Teck on account
of the scandal which he has brought
upon the royal family by having his
household effects sold out by the
sheriff. Such, is appears, was
the real character of the late auction
in Kensington Palace. at which a
number of distinguished people had
the pleasure of seeing under the ham,
mer the presents which they had
made to her royal highness, the
Princess Mary of Cambridge, when
she was married. The duke is I'M
comfortably poor for member of the
royal family, and he borrowed money
to pay the expense of his journey to
Egypt. Thus it was that he got into
deep trouble. In fact he owes a great
deal of money that he can't pay. The
Prince of-Wales has lent him all he
can afford, and now, for his general
bad management of his affairs, Teck
is to be permanently exiled to Rum.

HOW TO COOK EGGS.

Let us now make practical applica-
ton of the laws of albumen coag ala
ton that were demonstrated in the
test-tube experiment. The non-pro-
fessional student may do this at the
breakfast fireside. The apparatus re-
quired is saucepan large enough for
boiling pint of water-the materials
two eggs.
Cook the first in the orthodox IMAM
ner by keeping it in boiling water;
but, instead of keeping the saucepan
over the fire, place it on the hearth
and leave it there, with the egg in it,
about ten minutes or more. A still
better way of making the comparative
experiment is to use for the second
egg a water bath, or balm marie of the
French scientific cook; vessel i'm
mersed in boiling or nearly boiling
water, like a glue pot, and therefore
not quite so hot as its source of heat
In this case a thermometer should be
used, and the water surrounding the
egg be kept at or near $50 degrees
fahrenheit. Time of immersion about
ten minutes or more.
A comparison of results will show
that the egg that has been cooked at
a temperature of more than 80 de-
grees below the boiling point of water
is tender and delicate, evenly Sc
throughout, no part being hard while
another part is semi-raw and Shiny.

COMANCHE, August 1.-THE much
needed rain came last night, which
has gladened the toiling tiller Of the
soil and caused the merchants to
smile, as they now begin to calculate
how much cotton they will handle.
We have already made fine corn,
wheat and Oat crops, as we had album
dance of rain in the spring and early
summer, but the late dry spell, which
has lasted about four months, had
caused much of the cotton to shed its
bolls. We have almost been without
any stock water. The prospects are
now fine for a good cotton crop.
Our public free school buildings are
being put in first rate condition pre-
paraJory to the new school year, which

There will be a barbecue at DeLeon
in this county, on the 18th.
The town is improving fast and
a great many people have moved here
to patronize our public free schools.
There is not one vacant dwelling
house in this town, and quite num-

BROwNwOOD, August 1.-THE
citizens of Brownwood are meeting
with great encouragement both from
Fort Worth and Cisco in regard to a
railroad. Both places want the road.
The prospects for road from here to
Fort Worth is better now than it has
ever been. The cost of constructing
and eQuipping a railroad from Brown
wood to Cisco is estimated at $500,
600, there being only forty miles OF
road to build between this place and
Cisco, and no places to be bridged, and
no large hills to cut through. Cisco
offers to take $4,000 stock, and the
railroad committee think they can
raise $4,000 in Brownwood, and
after commencing the road it is
thought that enough can be secured
on bonds to complete it. Our citizens
appear to be determined. The wealthy
men say we must have road either
to Fort Worth or Cisco.
a telegram was received here yes
terday by William Robinson from the
sheriff of Colorado, Texas, that his
son, Leon Robinson, had been shot
and killed. Leon Robinson was a

and his father is one of our best citi-

Paris has lost celebrity in the per-
son of Alfred Mouchet, who for many
years was known as Phomme au seau,
or the bucket man. By trade he was
horse dealers assistant; but it was
as the champion eater of the French
capital that he became famous. Upon
one occasion he consumed at single
sitting a turkey, leg of mutton, a
pound of cheese, several pounds of
bl cad and bucketful of wine; and in
1876, after a contest of two hours, he
vanquished man named Dietrich,
who had been pitted against him by
an Englishman, the defeated COM
petitor only surrendering after hay

eight pounds of chicken and a proper

before the Academy of Medicine a
curious paper, in which he declared
that. with the exception of a Basque
named Lorion, who had been accus-
toned to consume fifteen pounds of
bread daY, Mouchet was the great
est eater that ever lived.

A Grandnleee of .oId Hickory

PITTSBURGH Leader
1t may be of interest to the Pitts
burgh public to know that in our
midst we have a relative of that great
character in American history, Gen.
Andrew Jackson. The person re.
ferred to is Mrs. Elizabeth Carter,
who now resides on Sixteenth street,
South Side. Mrs. Carter is a lady
about fifty-five years old, very
sprightly for one of her age, taking a
great interest in all the current events
of the day, and ever ready to eXtol the
many virtues of the hero of New Or
leans. Being person of no little in
telligence and vigor of mind, an
hours talk with her is very interest
ing to the student of American his
tory as in her entertaining way she
gives her recOllectionS of many men
who have taken leading parts in the
affairs of the nation. Mrs. Carter
prides herself on being grandniece
of "Old Hickory" She was born
near Charleston, South Carolina, on Il
large plantation. then owned by her
father, who was an extensive slave
holder. When she was quite young
her father, whose name was
Carlisle, moved to West Virginia,
where he engaged in the manufacture
OF pig iron, owning and opening sew
eral blast furnaces. Then the young
lady, Miss Elizabeth, married Mr..
Carter and moved to Brownsville, Pa,
where they resided a number of years.
For some time past the lady has lived
on the South Side, where she has sew
eral sons and daughters now grown
up.
Mrs. Carter differs from history in
her account of General JackSon'S
birth. She states that the traditions
of the family in regard to that matter
is that Jackson frs saw the light on
board of a vessel lying in Charleston
harbor. The old lady is a great adj
mirer of Jackson, as she was favor
lite of his while child. In a recent
talk upon the subject Mrs. Carter said:
81 can remember the general very
well, and recollect how l used to sit
on his knee when | was quite small
He was very fond of children, and
consequently very popular with them.
Ny first recollection of him was when
we lived in Virginia. He used to visit
at our house, and with my father hold

of once hearing him say that the
slavery question would at some time
cause civil war which would result
in the emancipation of the slaves"
One peculiar feature in the history
of Mrs. Carriers family is that sin
gular fatality seems to attend the
members. Her two brothers were
killed in dueling while they were yet
young men. Her father, who lived to
be over eighty years of age, met death
by an accident, and her mother was
killed in a similar manner.

prepared as .bove, and then, twisting
the rollers in opposite directions. you
can wiring it dry us required without
scalding the hands. Changing the
sheets can be done rapidly, and with
minimum discomfort to the invalid,
by adopting the following plan: Roll
the sheet to be removed close up to the
body Of the patient; make a similar
roll of half the clean sheet and place
it close to the other; then, when
he is lifted up, one person can whiSk
off the dirty sheet and unroll the
clean one, and he can be at once re-
placed in the bed.-London Queen.
