Ono Woman Solves the Problem.

Ono Woman Solves the Problem.
From the Christian Union.
The Spectator heard the other day
of one instance, which affords prac-
teal answer to the question often
asked by women who are left q. unex-
pectedly without means. What shall
I do for a living7 The lady who has
afforded this answer was reared in a
luxurious homo, surrounded by ample
wealth, and endowed with all the re-
finement and culture which wealth and
the best society can afford. Nature
had happily also endowed her with
that which wealth cannot afford,
namely, common sense; and she
awaited herself Of her advantage to 20
to a cooking school and become q
mistress in the culinary. art. Misfort-
une Detailing the family, has thrown
her upon her own resources, with one
or more dependent upon her. Instead
of falling into the long line of appli-
cants for school teachers positions,
Or burdening the mails with chill
dren's stories and poems to
be rejected by eold-hearted edit
ors, she has called hercooking skill in
to requisition. She has quietly let it
be known among her old-time friends,
that she will serve them in their kitch-
ems on occasions. When any one Of the
circle in whose parlor she once was,
and still might be social ornament
desires to give q specially nice dinner
or tea they send for her. She brings
her cooking wrapper in a little hand
bag, takes charge OF the kitchen as the
pilot does of q steamship on entering
port, relieves the mistress Of all care,
anxiety and concern, and sends up q
charming meal, such as "a less cultiViat-
ed cook could not provide. She is in
such great demand that her prices
have already doubled.

Marketing Poultry.

ASSAsA8 : sAASs y
In fattening for markets remember
that you will not only get pay for
every pound your poultry gains, but
by improving the quality you gain
from one fourth to- one-haH in price
on the whole. This improved quality
is more likely to be gained BY feeding
corn than otherwise. Give them all
they will eat, and your poultry will
be more yellow and better than that
fatted On any other grain. - y IS +.
Keep stock from food for "a hours
before killing; because food in the crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour and consumers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight. All
poultry, but more especially turkeys,
should be killed by bleeding from the
neck, and picked Immediately, while the
body is warm. No strangled ,scalded or
wet-picked poultry will sell for more
than half price. Always strip the
blood out OF the neck as soon as the
head is taken off. The skin should
then be peeled back a little and the
neck bone removed in the usual way.
Just before packing draw the skin
over the end of the bone remaining,
and tie. and trim neatly. The wing
and tail feathers must be pulled out
clean, and the intestines drawn
through as small an incision as posi-
BILE.
Be sure that poultry retains none of
the animal heat when it is packed.
1t should be cold, but not frozen. Sort
very carefully and have No. stock of
uniform quality. Each quality should
be in @ separate box, containing not
more than 200 pounds, as greater
bulk is more announcement to handle
and more liable to get damaged.
Never wrap poultry in paper or pack
in straw. Line the boxes with clean
paper r.. pack closely, pack upwards

Mr.. Howard sighed. He knew, by
long experience, his wife's popularity,
but also that she was q cautious wom-
an, who did not hastily jump to con-
illusions, and that, though so inlexible,
she was generally just, and never laid
down the law without cause. He
certainly did not approve of Alfred
Stone, and would have been sorry to
see his daughter Lizzie his wife; but,
on the other hand, he extremely dis
: liked unpleasant things, especially
when they interfered with his chill
dren's happiness.
Being, as is often the case, a CON-
plete contrast to his wife, he was an
over-indulgent father, and one much
given to letting things drift, in the
comforting assurance that sit would
come all right"
One of his three daughters had mar
ried most happily and satisfactorily.
Il Why could not Emma and Lizzie fol-
low their sisters example? And then
every cne--especially himself, though
he did not openly avow that selfish
thought--would be quite happy.

Several other names of persons were in

suffice.
Correspondents may and do add greatly
to the interest and value of local paper,
by giving the doings and happenings, &c
of their respective Localities but they
should be reasonably sure of the truth ot
their statements before giving them to the
public.
A little more judgment and care exercis

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered several decisions of gen.
eral interest in the matter of road tax. The
right of farmers to work out their road tax
haS been generally if not universally con-
ceded supervisors in few townships, in-
sisted on the tax being paid in money. A
test case has been decided in favor of the
payers, and their right to work out the
tax distinctly and finally affirmed In
other cases collectors of road taxes have
claimed commission on the part worked
out, as well as that paid into the town.

cides that all claims for such commissions
should be rejected, the working out Of the
tax imposing no labor on the collector or
treasurer but on the supervisor who is
paid for his services.

A short time ago Judge Peprose, of the
Orphans Court, filed an adjudication of
the account of the estate of Charles c..
Rhodes, ST., who died intestate in April,
1884. When the estate was under audit
number of large claims were presented
against it, among which was that of simon
p. Case for SOL l,6s3, alleged to be due
under transaction said to have taken place
between the claimant and the decedent
some years ago in connection with the
affairs of the Danville, Hazleton and
Wnkes-Barre Railroad, and that of Holmes
b. Kelley, who claimed some $l3,50O foT
the alleged raising OF money on Mr.,
Rhodes notes, and the negotiation and
sale of railroad bonds for him. The judge
disallowed both claims, and both claimants
subsequently filed exceptions to his ruling.
Argument was held by the Court in banC
recently upon the exceptions and Judge
Ashman filed an opinion in the matter s
missing the exceptions and confirming
Judge Penrose's adjudication.

Granting Licenses.

On Tuesday morning the Court disposed
of the applications for licenses in which
witnesses had been heard. These were but
three and in passing upon them Judge El-
well said;
We do not think that there is a necessity
for any additional saloons in CeLtralia.
Oar disposition is to diminish. rather than
to increase the number. For myself,
look upon saloons as far more likely to be
injurious to the community than hotels;
for they are used mainly, almost solely, as
mere drinking places, while hotels, if prop,
erly provided are homes for the traveller
and stranger, and in that respect are a
necessity. There is no objection to Mr.,
Brennan so far as appears, he is sober
and respectable man but to grant his APP
plication would be to increase the number
of saloon-licenses in the borough OF Cen
tralia, and we therefore reject it,
There was an application in this town
for Il saloon-license at May term. We laid
it down then rs u rule that we would moi
increase the number of licensed places;
and we refused the application, though
there was no objection to the applicant mol
TO the place.
MIR. McBriarty, holder of a saloon.licenst
in Centralia, is well qualified and prepared
in every respect (according to the evidence
here to keep holel-a public necessity
as testified. To grant his application will
not increase the number of drinking places
and will bring tle place better within the
control of the court We have concluded
to grant him hotel.license.
The same remarks are applicable to th'
| application of Mr.. Grton for Il hotcl-hcenst
ago there was an application by Mr.. Cald
4 well for the same house, which was refus
4 ed, not on account of any unfitness in th
4 applicant, but partly because the building
4 at that time was deemed unsuitable tor tn
/ purpose. We then heard evidence pro c
contra, and came to that conclusion, Their
are no objections against Mr. Girton as tn
keeper of public place, he having main
tanned good reputation in that respec
for number of years; in fact, his saloon
as restaurant as an eating g-house, has
character above that OF the ordinary ST
