Progress in Steam Navigation.
From the Troy Times.

Thetirst steam vessel that crossed the
Atlantic was the ship Savannah, launched
in New York, in 1918. She was a sailor as
well as a steamer and therefore only carried
seyenty-tiye tons of coal. She made the
voyage to Liverpool in twenty-five days,
and then sailed round Scotland and visited
Stockholm, Cronstadt and other distant
ports, but the Investment did not pay, and
hence was discontinued. The first British
steamship was the shannon, wooden yes
sci, launched in 1926. John Quincy Adams
was then president, and he congratulated
the public on this indication of progress.
One day, in 1888, the New Workers were
astonished at the spectacle of British
steamship sailing up the harbor. 1T was
the Sirius, a small but well-built vessel,
whose sole distinction is that she led the
way in this grand advance, whose extent
may be inferred from the fact that the
North German line alone has carried more
than a million of cabin passengers. An
other feature in the progress Is found in
the vast increase in the postal system.
The Journal Of Commerce, of October Is,
1888, mentions the surprising fact that
the ship Florida, which had just arrived
from Liverpool, brought 2,100 letters. On
the other hand, the OregOn's mail filled
sos bags, and the number of letters sent
abroad in one day by the New York post
office was 100000

Test the Eggs.

With the Matching season at hand, the
testing of eggs becomes an important
item. Too many neglect this entirely,
and loose the food supply for the little
chickens which might be obtained from
the infertile eggs. In France they test
the eggs the second day, and all not fer
tile are removed and sold in the markets.
But few of our breeders have acquired
the skill necessary to enable them to de
tect the living germ so early, and the eggs
that will not hatch are, or should be, re-
moved by the seventh or eight day, and
saved to cook and feed Any one hatch
ing 100 chickens would be satisfied if that
number was realized from $50 eggs.
These fifty eggs are worth saving, and
are worth Just as much for food for the
chickens as though freshla More than
this, in setting six or eight hens enough
eggs will be found infertile, so that if re-
moved the remainder can be given to four
or five, and room made for fresh sup
ply, thus saving valuable time and in
creasing the possible number of chicks.
Egg testers are sold by dealers of pOul-
try supplies. but this expense is by no
means necessary. Take a sheet of heavy
white paper, and roll it round a stick
somewhat smaller in diameter than an
ordinary egg; paste in shape, and then
withdraw the stick BY placing an egg
at one end (sideways) and looking
through to the sun or a lighted lamp,
holding the egg close to the light, you
can see very plainly every stage of the
progress of incubation, even to the pull
sation of the heart in some cases, and
trace the branching blood vessels ev-
cry direction as they spreak over the
yolk In a very short time one will be
come expert in examining and be able
to detect the living germ by the fourth
day.

tons for browning -four, which is very
nice to thicken and flavor any but white
soups. From this stock variety of soups
can be made. By using different favors
and vegetables one can vary the order in
definitely. The best bean soup / know is
made as follows: Look over and wash a
pint of beans and put them to soak over
night in a quart OF warm water. In the
morning, drain ana put them in @ kettle
with water to cover, and let them come just
to the boiling point. Stir in one-fOurth
teaspoonful soda, and carefully remove
the scum which will soon rise. Then drain
and put them in a porcelain kettle with a
quart of stock and one of water, and a
teaspoonful of salt. Cover and simmer
for three hours. Then pass the soup
through seive and return to the
kettle. Mix to paste teaspoonful of
Drowned flour and stir in when the soup
boils. Add more salt if necessary, and a
very little white or cayenne pepper, and
pour into a warn tureen. Serve with
toasted bread or crackers.
The bread may be cut in small squares
and brown delicately in very hot oven,
1t is less trouble than to toast it. Fold
napkin in any fanciful design and put
on plate, then pile the bread upon it
and pass about the table to serve. 1t is
nicer than when the soup is poured over
it in the tureen, and if the table be
somewhat scantily furnished, as is often
the case with soup dinner, and it makes
another dish.
The meat which is left can be made
into the vegetable stews or meat dump
lings-receipts for which have been given
in the previous visits to our House
hold dining-room, or very sayory pie
may be made. Line a deep baking dish
with rather thick crust lif your oven
does not bake well at the bottom, put
the crust only around the sides of the
dish and put in the meat prepared in this
manner: Cut in as even slices or pieces
as possible it won't be possible to carve
it very handsomely and put it in a stew
pan with a cup of the stock Dit is a good
plan TO keep a pint when making the
soup, to use in warming up the meat
and sufficient water to cover the meat
Add a tablespoonful of butter, and salt to
season just right; always adding the salt
after the butter is well mixed in, that it
may not be made too salt, When it boils
take out the meat and put half of it in the
pie-dish, sprinkle over it heaping tea
spoonful of flour; then add the rest of the
meat, pour over it scant cup of the
gravy, sprinkle over it teaspoonful of
flour, and put over it teaspoonful of
butter cut in bits; put on the top crust
which should be cut two or three times
across the center, and bake three-quarters
of an hour in steady oven. Heat the
remainder of the gravy, adding a little
water if necessary and stir in q tposuoon-
of flour mixed smooth with a little water
When it thickens pour into a warm gravy
dish and send to the table Immediately.

FERTILE SPorIN THE DESERT.
How the Good People of Oasis are
Prospecting.
Correspondence OF THE HERALD.

Correspondence OF THE HERALD.
Our adjoining neighbor, we are in
formed, has been considerably agitated
and alarmed lately over the rumors re-
ceiyed from the south to the effect that
a newly appointed deputy marshal had
arrested one or two parties, on or near
the railroad, in the vicinity of Milford,
on the common charge, and that said
deputy was en- route tor Deseret with
full escort of three additional well
armed deputies. Enjoying immunity
ourselves we only feel indignant at the
various devices resorted to by the
gentlemen who might attain honorable
glory much quicker if they would only
hold the handle of the pillow more and
use the military less.
The whole bugbear reminds US of the
octopus. if the victim has no blood
(money) he is soon dropped. If only
thirds of them would visit this
way, l. think we could finish the lot by
putting them at work on our new
canal; little compulsory hard labor
would have tendency to rid the
country of all birds of the vullure
species.
We are all alive and up to the times.
Oasis is proving true 10 its name-a
fertile spot in the desert. Excelsior is
our motto. Upward and onward We

so. There is considerable goaheaditive-
ness in the burg, and despite the many
drawbacks and obstacles thrown in our

success we Justly feel entitled to.
The never-ending water question has
aroused the people to action. which
resulted in tie organization OF the Oasis
d Riverside Canal Company; capital
stock $4,000, divideG into 10000 shares
of 50 each. A preliminary survey shows
the feasibility of drawing the water
supply from the Sewer River at a point
about three miles above Riverside sta
ton, on the Utah Central railway, at
an estimated cost of between 1000
and $3.50 Allowing ten feet fall the
water will come to the surface about
seven miles above Oasis, and bring be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres of rich
land under cultivation; if we say it
will cost 81 so per acre, or even
double II would be cheap. We invne
inspection; there is plenty of room for
at least from seventy five to a
hundred families. if not more. About
5000 acres of land and one sixth of the
capital stock of the company has
already been taken up, Principally by
non-residents, which demonstrates
p. city plainly that Oasis will yet be-
come the "City of the Desert"

eye to the welfare of their growing

THE ARREST OF MISS WINTERS.
A Correspondent Sends a Few
Additional Particulars.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor OF THE HERALD:
We want to add little more to that
episode which took place at Pleasant
Grove. We refer to the subpenaing of
Miss Hulda Augusta Winters. Deputy
VandeTcook and his pal came to town
via Battle Creek station, D. & R. G.
They hired teamster to bring them up
in a lumber" wagon. The young
lady's father objected TO his daughter
going in that kind of conveyance 10
American Fork, where they wished to
connect with the train. Mr.. Wander
cook told Mr.. Winters to procure a
buggy and take the prisoner over,
for which he would pay him well.
The deputy suggested to his right bower
t. accompany Mr.. Winters to procure
rig, as he had none OF his own. Thus
Mr.. Winters was doggeG wherever he
went. Miss Winters asked TO be allowed
to board the Utah Central train at her
home. This was denied her. They
made all possible haste Through the
mud) but arrived one minute too late to
connect with the D. & r. G.. after
which they were obliged to return up
town to catch the Central train. Miss
Winters has been an invalid for some
months under DR.. Pixies care. but she
must be put to all this trouble and
hardship to please the unsavory Deputy
Van.
