On the Wrong Foot.

A little Norwalk boy got silver il
his foot, and a motion to poultice the
wound made by his mother and seconded
by his grandmother, was carried in
spite OF his objections. He kicked and
screamed, and protested that he would
not submit to any such indiSnity. but
the majority against him was two to
one, and the poultice was made ready.
1t was arranged that he grandmother
should apply the poultlce while the pa
tents mother stood over him with a
stick with authority and instructions to
apply that also if he made the least show
of resistance.
When all was ready the youngster was
placed on the bed and operations be-
gan. As the hot poultice touched the
boys foot, he opened his mouth to say
something, but his mother, with the
stick, awed him into silence. Again
the boy strove to make himself heard,
and again the appraised stick warned
him to be quiet. In few short min
utes the poultice was firmly in place,
and the boy was tuckedup in bed, there
TO remain until the medicine had done
its work. As the urchin'S tormentors
moved away. shrill small Voice from

a New beverage system.

The model town OF Pullman. I'll,
only a few miles distant from Chicago
is trying certain experiments in its sew
erage system, which are of interest to
the whole country. The town is so
situated as to be very difficult to prop
erly drain, far more difficult than even
New Orleans. 1t lies on broad level
prairie, without rise or fall, without
any natural drainage, and free from
rivers or creeks that might carry off
its sewerage. How to drain such a
town was indeed difficult matter, but
as it was to be a model town, good
drainage system was absolutely neces-
sarv.
1t was finally decided TO try q system
which has been experimental with at
Paris. Sewers were constructed emp
tying in suuken tank, from which the
sewage was pumped to twenty-inch
main 10 a farm. three miles south, fitted
up especially for that purpose. The
cost of constructing these drains and
sewers was $4,000. On the other
hand. the sewage was used on the farm,
and regularly easily disposed of IN an
inotfensive manner The result of the
first years management of this sewage
farm was a net profit of $4,000. A bet
ter showing is expected for next year,
and the managers declare that they will
be able, not only to get rid Of the sew
age without any cost, but this invest
ment in sewers-that is the amount
expended 10y the town in the construc-
tion of these drains-was paying froms
to 10 per cent interest.

A week ago, being in Portsmouth, ]
was DESTROYS of seeing the birthplace of
Charles Dickens, and was surprised to
find uncertainty prevailing on the sub
lect. 1t was known to be one of the
houses in Mile-end terrace, which is on
the left side of the Commercial road,
Landport. Portsea, and about one mile
from Portsmouth town railway station.
Proceeding thither, / found four small
old houses, with gardens in front and
green ratings and trees. ! had been
directed to the first house of the four
NOW No. 3S7l, and / afterwards learned
from some of the old inhabitants of the
immediate neighborhood that the last
house (No 1893 was considered to be
the right one.
With reference to the birthplace,
Foster, in his Life of Charles Dick
ems" volume l. page 2, says: He has
often told me that he remembered the
small front garden to the house at Port
sea, from which be was taken away
when years old. and where, watched
by nurse through low kitchen win
dow almost level with the garden walk,
he trotted about with something to eat,
and his little elder sister with him. He
was carried from the garden one day to
see the soldiers exercise" | venture to
suggest the desirability of clearing up
the doubt If any really exists, and that
the true house, when ascertained, should
have a small tablet placed upon it. To
do this would, think, be a creditable
action on the part of the citizens of
Portsmouth. and it would also be
great boon to all casual visitors who,
like myself, take a profound interest in
even the slightest Renaissance of
Charles Dickens.

fac Palace of Aifous

| had business at the palace with
Senior Abella. the secretary of tho king,
and my visit to his Office afforded me-
an opportunity of seeing the palace. 1t
is large, quadrangular building of
white marble, in the French Italian
style of the seventeenth century. The
public offices look shabby. and the
officials seedy. The halls and chambers
of audience are sparsely though ele-
gantly furnished, but are hung with
many fine paintings. Most of the furni-
ture is of French design and probably
workmanship. None of the apartments
were carpeted; some had large rugs in
the centre of the floor, others small rugs
near the tables and sofas. The palace
has beautiful little alameda in front
and spacious courtyard in the rear.
In the latter couple of regiments of
troops were parahng; fine soldierly-
looking men, smart, quick-stepping and
alert, uniforms neat and clean, breech-
loading arms and a numerous corps of
buglers and drummers. III Spain ever
got into row with Franco how these
swarthy and rugged Spaniards would
tumble down the little, tight-waisted,
chirping infants of the grande army.

some white and sparkling like
diamonds, others green as emeralds,

A :heXlCAN KITCHEN.
The Cooking Experimentation the
stat OF Liz Is Prepared.

A Mexican kitchen Is study, and to
do it and all its strange utensils justice
would require columns space. There
are no stoves in Mexico, or even any
thing like the fire places of our grand
mothers days. One side of the room
is occupied by sort of shelf. built into
the wall, about breast high, with an
opening at the top which serves for a
chimney. In the centre of this shelf
little heap of wood is kept burning,
and around it the earthen cooking pots
are placed. If the family is small, this
smoky method is sometimes improved
by building a charcoal fire in an
earthen pot and putting the smaller
cooking vessels within it. Many houses
have mud oven at the end of this shelf
or somewhere out of doors, in which a
fire must be built to heat it; but gen
orally an oven is quite unnecessary as
baked food-"pizen things enters
not into the household economy.
In the centre of the kitchen stands
the metale, for tortilla making hal
lowed stone-the size of an ordinary
bread bowl, which has two legs about
four inches high at one end, inclining
it at an angle of forty-fve degrees. The
cook kneels upon the dirt floor at the
elevated end OF the metale. and, the
corn having been previously boiled.
and still quite wet, brushes it into paste
with a kind of stone rolling pin, the
mixture gradually sliding down the in
clined plane into dish placed to re-
ceive it. When quantity has been
Al. Il -, 1. 4
left until required. 1t is astonishing
what an amount of corn family Will
consume in day, it being here the
''stati of life," indispensable at every
meal, instead of bread When dinner
or supper is on the tapis, after every
thing else has been cooked, the last
thing is to heat the griddle or smooth
slate stone. Then the cook takes u
very small lump at once of this pre-
pared corn paste, shapes it into thin,
round cakes with little cold water
and much loud slapping of the hands.
and bakes them brown in jitiy. As a
substitute for bread one might go n
great deal farther and fare worse than
subsist on tortilla.
The best chocolate 1 ever tasted is
made III MEXICO. NO water enters lntO
the composition, and while the we'll
sweetened milk is heating, they dissolve
the chocolate in it by putting into the
vessel wooden implement called a
molinillo, and whirling it rapidly be-
tween the hands till the whole is n mass
of foam and richness.
Another thing which Mexican house
wives particularly excel in is the COM
pounding OF dulcies (sweets) of all kinds.
They make the clearest and whitest i'm
aginable marmalade and jelly of apples,
ounces and other fruits, but do not in
dulge much in canned sweets, or pre-
serves. Pickles, in which most Ameri-
cans delight, are entirely unknown, tho
inevitable and eternal chill being suili-
