"On the Frontier" is the title of volume of

Mouu tain" is perhaps the most charaoteristio
OF the three, the scene being laid in mining
camp, with all the familiar accessories. The
descriptions of the wild mountain scenery are
nne, the characters are drawn with life-like
ndeilty, and there is the underlying vein OF ex-
qulsite pathos that is the peculiar charm of
Bret Harte's work. "a Blue Grass Penelope'
is story of noble womanhood. cat the Mis-
sion OF San Carmel" is more simple story,
but shows the same keen insight into human
nature and the same gentle charity for its
weaknesses that is so characteristic of the
author.

Or the many cook books that have been
brought out heretofore too much knowledge on
the part OF the reader has been presupposed
many having been written for experienced
housekeepers. But for the women, and there
are many, who know nothing of even ordinary
Kitchen work, who never saw an unlocked
vegetable or piece of meat, and who have no
idea OF the composition of even the simplest
article OF food, who begin housekeeping with
the confident expectation that any cook book
Will help them out of all their difficulties and
MAKE the rough places smooth, woeful disap-
pointment and much vexation Of spirit is gem

BOOK" however, is the best possible substitute

ceipts are given with minute directions as to
order and manner of putting together ingredi
ents, and are concise enough also for expert
enced cooks They are of a variety to suit the
simplest and most epicurean tastes, the most
slender as well as the largest purse. Much
space is given to the chemistry and philosophy
OF food and to physiology. The course of in
struction in the Boston Cooking School is
given, an outline of instruction for teachers,

the legislature the same year, and in the
Office of prosecuting attorney of the
Third judicial district, holding that Of

In 1858 and 1860 he was elected repre-

politics. He was Grants lieutenant in
1880, and Is suspected of an alliance
with Blaine this year.

A Dangerous American Tendency

A Dangerous American Tendency.
From the Boston Transcript
A Darwinian Cambridge professor
sends us the following: There is one
practice of the Yankees which threatens
to develop most undesirable charac-
teristic. It is the habit of yawning.
Apparently it is rather more affected by
people of the cities, especially by fe-
males and the more talkative of males.
Unfortunately it is not at all confined to
them. Naturally enough, motionless
jaws become tiresome so persons who
ordinarily keep them moving. It is
amusing to watch an Individual exer-
else his hyoid apparatus like I'm aspyx-
iating fish, while the person opposite in
voluntarily-so sympathetic we are
gapes like a boa constructor, and it is
initiated by another an9 another down
the car or through the audience. But
there is serious aspect to the case. By
the laws of use and heredity we are alb
normally developing the muscles which
open the mouth. IF this is allowed to
go on, by and by great development of
the mouth openers will become charac-
teristic of the American. There are al
ready too many people in this country
at present who have great difficulty in
keeping their mouths shut"

Physiological Curiosities.

We speak of some persons as tender
hearted; but, as matter of fact, every
one is, literally, very hard-hearted, the
heart being very tough muscle, so in
sensible that one would not feel it if it
could be seized and held in the grasp of
giant. The heart is no more the seat
of our affections than is the stomach or
liver.
It causes no more pain to cut nerve,
or the brain, than to pare ones nails.
Large portions Of the brain may be lost
without any impairment of the intellect.
An entire bone may be removed, and,
provided the periosteum (the membrane
which cover it) is retained, the bone will
grow again as good as before. -

Jud ge Gildersleeve, of New York, in

Judge Gildersleeve, of New York, in
his address to the Grand Jury, congratu-
lated the police upon their success in
bringing into subsection the common
thief and burglar. But he was grieved
to note the existence of another class of
criminals produced by the spirit of OK
travagance and speculation who threat
ened the ommunity with dire calamity.
"While in obedience to the law" he
said, Eve are Furnishing the low thieves
from the sloughs and slums of the city
for stealing small sums, let US not neg
lect the guilty in high places who steal
large sums and are amenable to the
same law" Only in this way can a
cessation of the gigantic thefts and
swindles that have been brought to
light in New York be brought about.
If the enforcement of the law against
small criminals has had salutary effect,
a similar remedy for great criminal
ought to he equally efticacious. The
remedy is certainly worth trying.

Section 4,747 of the United States

the sum remains with the pension Office
or any officer or agent thereof, or is in

to the benefit of such pensioner." In
the recent case of Robion vs. Walker, in

from seizure for debt while it is being

peals section 1910 sfsthJ code, and provides
q substitute, which provides a penalty against
any person selling liquor fer any PURPOSE i'm

of 1850 and 1882 is conflict with this substitute
