SIDNEY EARLE.

Mr. P. I. BARNUM's recipe for prepar-
ing pigs feet is admirable: Wrap each
foot in cotton bandage, wound about
it two or three times, and cord it with
Irvine. When all the feet are ready
plunge them into boiling water, and
boil them for four hours. Let them
rem'in in the bandages until they are
needed to fry, boil or pickle. The skin
will hold together while cooking, and
when eaten they will be tender and
delicate as possible.
FRIED CHICKEN prepared in the south
German fashion and called in the dia-
lect Back Haehnerl" is relished by
connoisseurs. After cleansing young
chicken, hold it for minute in very hot
water, and then the same time in cold
water. Cut it down the back with q
sharp knife and remove the backbone {;
then cut each piece in half Sprinkle
the quarters with little fine salt, roll
them in flour, dip them in well-beaten
egg, and then roll them in bread crumbs,
with which may be mixed grated par
mesan cheese If liked. Fry imme-
diately in plenty of warm butter or drip
ping until delicate brown. Move the
pan gently during the process, which
requires about four minutes, so that
there be no danger of burning. Lay
the fried pieces on some slices of bread
to absorb any fat. Fry some parsley in
butter light yellow. Serve the chicken
on warm dish, placing the pieces so
that are higher toward the centre !;
sprinkle the fried parsley with little
salt and arrange it around the pieces of
chicken, and place nice bunch Of
parsley on the centre OF the dish.

THR WIDLAND JOURNAL.

The art of opening letters addressed
to other people and refastening them so
that no one will know is profession in
Spain. In the post-office they have o
dark chamber, where experts inquire
into things, and these have long since
given up the use of steam for opening
gummed communications. Even red hot
platinum wire for letters sealed with
wax is out of date. The favorite means
is with knife sharper than razor,
which is run along the bottom of the
envelope. The letter having been ex-
tracted and then replaced after the
officials of the post-ofice have learned
what is going ON, fine line of liquid
cement is drawn along the opening. the
slightest pressure conceivable is applied,
and the letter is as whole as ever. The
system only fails when too many letters
are opened at time and put hurriedly
into the wrong envelopes.

There is a pool in Utah only foot
deep, and situated ct a very high alti
tude, that refuses to freeze even in the
severest winters. There is another that
mysteriously replenishes itself will,
half-grown trout. One stream, though
clear as crystal to the eye and tasteless,
stains all the vegetation it flows over
deep brown. A warm spring near Salt
Lake City is the strongest sulphur water
in the world. A hot spring few miles
off, with waters so hot that you can
hardly put your hand into them, and as
bright as diamonds, is one of the most
remarkable combinations Of chemicals

Temperance.
A Movement for Organization.

AT this late day there is some indi.
cations of gentle effort being made to
organize the temperance sentiment Of
the county, and make head against the
rum interest to save the local option
law, and attempt to perfect the law, or
amend it, SO as to give it some degree
of legal force. It's legal force is scarce
perceptible, and for the good 1t has eff
fected, the public is almost entirely in-
debted to the moral influence the stat
ute commands. The abuse Of justice
by the legal methods which now pre-.
vail in our courts, fluids most easy
subject to manage in the present local
option law. The law makers who pas
sed the act appear to have lost sight of
the fact that the purpose of the law
was to prevent the sale of any liquid
that would intoxicate people. So they
put clause in the law which permits
any one to tap barrel Of hard cider
and sell while there is man able to
stand and drink, or till the street is
filled with drunken men women and
children if the subjects can be brought
up.
To amend such q law as this the
temperance sentiment is making an ef-
fort to organize; to punish the men who
gets drunk and swears he doesn't know
where he got the whiskey, who swears
in court of justice that he doesn't
know whether he drank whiskey or not.
In short they wish to ask the legislat'
ure to put clause in the local option
law to punish the man who doesn't
know from whom he bought the fluid
that made him drunk, and don't know
spirituous liquor when he tastes it.
We want law to punish a man who
is found drunk, unless he gives the
name of the man who sold him the
intoxicant, and we want the law to
make it prima facia evidence, that the
selling of any liquid to person which
intoxicates him, is violation of the
law and punishable as such.
There is a call issued for a meeting
at Elkton to morrow, to organize for
the purpose above stated. Let every
man and woman too, attend who can.
Stand by your representatives and in
form them what your wishes are, and
they will carry them out but if they
fear you will hand them over to the
tender mercies of the whiskey meu they
will not carry them out.
