THAT FAMOUS BRUNSWICK STEW.

From time almost gu: of mind
the old families OF Virginia have
been accustomed to serve up their
friends a stew known as the "Bruns-
wick stew Il has long been a
question in dispute as to the origin
of this "stew.p The true history
of it is about as follows: During
the war of 1912 there was a man
named James Matthews, who was
soldier in that war. He was
from the red oak neighbOrhOOd in
Brunswick county, Va. lie was
also squirrel hunter, and it was
his way of cooking the squirrel
which gained him much popularity
and eclat with the ladies.
His mode of cooking a squirrel
was quite simple, as follows; After
dressing it nicely, the squirrel was
set to cooking early in the morn
ing, so that it might be ready for
a . o'clock dinner. 1t was kept
stewing continually, water being
added to supply evaporation, until
it was so thoroughly done that the
flesh would separate from the bones,
which we're taken out and the stew
seasoned to the taste, not having
any vegetables whatever in it. This
was the first Brunswick stew, of
1916, and continued to be until
1898, when the tomato had be-
come known as most excellent
vegetable. About this time man
by the name of Ned Smith, from
the same county, conceived the idea
ofimprOving "Aatthew's stew" by
the addition of the tomato, onion,
corn, potatoes, middling fresh but
ter and light bread.
The original receipts for making
this "stew," after the tomato was
known to be most excellent article
of food, is as follows: Take one
squirrel, fresh and nice, a half
pound of middling, cut thin and
with skin off, and water III suffi-
cient quantity. Pat on at S o'clock
TO cook for five hours, when the
flesh will leave the bones of the
squirrel, which should be taken out.
Now add one quart Of tomatoes
(peeled) one small onion, one-half
pound of butter, (fresh), one good
size Irish potato, two ears of corn,
with the grains split down each
row before cutting from the cob.
Then a sufficient quantity of sweet
light bread should be added with
the tomatoes just one hour before
dinner. Now, season to the taste
with both black and red pepper,
and you have the genuine Bruins
wicklsquirrel stew.
1t 10 a remarkable fact that no
other flesh will impart the delicate
wild flavor as the squirrel, hence
there is nothing whatever to take
it's place.-NatiOnal Republican.

Fresh Eggs The Year Round.

TO have fresh eggs the year
round, keep hens that will lay them
fresh every day. TO prevent fresh
eggs from spelling on your hands,
eat them or sell to some one else.
We make no extra charge for these
two valuable hints. The usual in.
quiries about preserving eggs for
several months have arrived with
the return of summer. In answer,
we have, as usual, to say that we
know no art by means of which
eggs can be made to retain the
freshness of their youth for six
months or more, nor do we know
Of any method Of rejuvenating
them after they have reached their
dOtage. 1t has been proved that
eggs will keep in fair condition
two or three months, simply pack
ed in salt, or in dry, siited coal
ashes. The common method of
keeping in lime water is probably
as good as any. The formula Is
two pounds Of lime, one pint of
salt, and four gallons OF water
Stake the lime in hot water. Pat
in only fresh eggs, aud keep them
covered with the liquid. Eggs
thus packed and placed in cold
storage, when the temperature is
between 80 deg. and 40 deg, will
probably come out in edible con-
dition six months later; but they
will not be fresh eggs, and it will
lie prudent to make use of them
soon after they are taken from the
pickle.-Fdrm journal.

ment the grand Iepose Of her man
ner was gone, and the lady on his arm
might have been made of wax or
any other ductile material for all he
cared now.
"HOw the dickens came she

he led his partner absently to a
seat, deaf to all her pretty words,
blind to her destinations.

And l left her quite determined

With these amiable thoughts, he
laid himself out to gain the atten-
ton of his wife and make her ex-
plain. 1t was some time before he
had a chance, so he was obliged to
content himself with following her
graceful motion, angry with him
self and with her.
"Alice Can l believe my eyes I"
he said at last in the pause OF the
dance.
81 should think YOU might" was
the nonchalant reply. "But excuse
me. am four deep already" And
Herbert was forced to move one
side as a pompous acquaintance
claimed her hand. "IIOw about the
baby, Alice ~ he asked, anxiously.
She put her rosy lips to his ear,
and in a subdued voice exclaimed
"Hang the baby
Herbert started and changed
color. To be sure, he had used the
same language, but from her it was
too exasperating. How he got
through the evening he could hard
" tell. When at last they were to-
gether in the carriage driving home,
there might have been an open
rupture but for the determined
calmness of Alice, who took every
thing as a matter OfcOurse.
One glance in the beautiful nur-
sery unsealed his eyes. There, by
the fire, sat Mabel, in all the aban-
don of negligee toilet, her luxu-
RANT tresses falling in glossy free
dom over her shoulders, while the
little fellow in her lap clutched at
one long, shining curl, crowed and
laughed as well as he could for
aunty's smothering kisses.
A sudden revulsion of feeling
came to the fathers heart at the
sight of the sweet home picture,
Six months after that time Alice
was dressed for party. But this
time the party was to be given in
her own house, and in honor OF
Mabel's marriage. Even the bride
did not look lovelier, for nothing
now ever occurred to mar Alice's
happiness, and happiness, after all,
Is the best preservative of beauty.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

a- THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February ed, 1883, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that n Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangcmcnt of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by peculiar Undesirable dis
trcss in the stomach, n feeling
that has been described rs a
faint "all gone sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a Disagree
able taste. This sensation WAS
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
q cold perspiration. There
was constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful Nervousness with
gloomy forebodiuss. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosavc thepaticnt's
life an operation was iustif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Dr Pcrricr, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, Or. Capner
and DR.. Halliwcllof the Police
Board. Tine operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an cxamin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discover that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband Of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects Of 4
surgical operation THAT ought
never TO have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for dyspepsia
and Nervous, Pr,@Iilion for

COULISSE CHAT.

The new tenor Of the Boston Ideal
Opera Company is named William

voice. The gifted and amiable
Marie Stone, of the same company,
is his instructor in the business, the
craces and the articles of the stage.
According to the Chicago NecS,
this is the way she does it;
"Miss Stone sings

Alice trembled a little when she
found herself actually on the way
to Mrs. Mountjoy's; but her sister
had conquered, and her heart was
hardened by Herberts emphatic
expression concerning the baby
She was treasured, however, by
Mrs. MOuntiOy's hearty welcome.
"Pm so glad you've come, my
DEAR" she said. "Your husband
said he feared baby would keep
yen at home but told him that

Herbert, like many handsome so
ciety men, was a little spoiled and
selfish without knowing it. He
loved Alice deyotedly, but he was
not unwilling to receive the sweet
smiles and bonied words of others.
It was while he was dancing with
one of the most noted and beautiful
women of the metropolis, who was
willing to listen to his nonsense,
that Herbert looking up from the
face leaning against his shoulder,

tee reassembled at 3 pm, when the eI-
animation of Gould was resumed. He
was inquired of by Mr.. Grain as to the
ways of the construction companies in
issuing stock to themselves out of pro-
portion to the work done, but Gould
denied any knowledge of such dark and
questionable transactions. He had
never heard of and did not believe in
such causes Of complaint as Powderly
alluded to in the first days testimony
the complaints of the employees in the
matter Of hospital taxation, homestead
and stores belonging TO superintendent
and foremen. He was inquired OF by
Cultivate, as to the stock speculation
growing out Of the strike, and he said
he knew nothing Of the kind. After
ference with Powderly and the outcome
of il, Cultivate asked, "Then you
didn't intend or want to have any arbi-
tration or effort to settle any difficulties
with the Knights of Labor who had
struck, or who were out of your en-
ployment at the time? Was that the
Understandings
Gould-"That is il exactly"
In answer to a question, Gould said
the general effect OF the pooling system
was beneficial; without 1t most of the
railroads OF the country would be in the
hands of receivers. through ruinous
competition. The result would be that
wages would have to be cut down 50
per cent.
This closed Gould's examination,
which lasted four holrs.
Hopkins testimony was then heard.
He corroborated the principal points in
the Gould statement and concluded
with high compliment to HoIie for
the manner IN which he had ad-
ministered the affairs OF the company.
The committee adjourned till to-
morrow.
