A Dish FOR TEA-A dish much liked cold
for tea is made of two pounds of round steak
and half pound of salt pork chopped very
fine, mixed together thoroughly, sailed and
peppered, and baked The easiest way to
prepare this is to get it chopped at the meat
market. When cold cut it in thin slices; if
any is left it may be used for breakfast, by
dipping it in egg or in batter and frying it
brown When eaten with baked potatoes
this is a good and economical dish.
To PICKLE SMALL ToMAToEs-Let them lie
in salt and water for three or four days,
changing the brine if a scum rises; then
rinse them with clear water and let them lie
for a night in weak vinegar or say half vine
gar and half water The next day prepare
thus: To one peck of tomatoes allow half an
ounce of whole cloves, quarter OF pound
of ground mustard, half an ounce of whole
black pepper, and six good-sized onions cut
in Slices Put the tamatoes in jar putting
LAYER of onions and spice between the lay

the whole with cold vinegar of good strength.

bers, cut them in slices about an inch and a

prepare the vinegar if it is very strong,
weaken it with water; add sugar and spices
until the right taste is impaired. Put the
cucumbers in this vinegar and heat it to the
boiling point. A good rule to follow for the
seasoning is this: To quart of vinegar al

years. The hotel was closed up by impatient
creditors a few months ago, and since

him, and the ex-Speaker could easily have
lodged the writ if he had cared to. but
he was yearning to exercise the highest pre-
rogative of q freeman. He wanted to get
into the jury-box. So in fear that if some
thing were not done he might be left he
walked into the sherif's Office and asked a
deputy to catch him. The deputy was busy
and passed him over TO clerk. The clerk
was up to ears in figures, and gave him over
to deputys deputy. The latter was just

the immigration was unprecedentedly heavy

British Consideration for Women.

New York Tribune.
In one respect, at least, womankind re-
ceives more consideration in England than is
accorded her in America. The death of Mar
wood, the celebrated British hangman re-
calls the fact That pleasing parsonage, dur
ing his entire career, received $50 for every
professional visit he paid man and $75 for
each similar act of inverted homage to wo-
man. Assuming that these prices are to be
understood as furnishing key to John Bulls
estimation of the relative value of the two
sexes, then we are warranted in asserting
that he regards Gods best gift to man as be-
ing at least third more precious than man
himself. No wonder the monarchy stands.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. Public opinion

this morning is somewhat varied While all
concur that it is a misfortune that the train
robber was so promptly acquitted many as
sert that according to the evidence and in
structions of the court it was impossible for
the jury to have acted otherwise. Others
again are outspoken in their convictions that
it will be an impoSsibility to convict Frank
James in western Missouri, no matter what
the evidence might be. Some OF the mer-
chants on Change believe the verdict will
injuriousy affect the standing of Missouri
in other States, especially in the East, but
the more conservative members do not think
this will be the case, as it is known that Mis-
sourians are as law-abiding as the citizens of
other States. The general tone is that the
