themselves, with their friends, about the

Hints to Dyspeptics.

Much of the value obtained from mutton
depends upon its cooking and previous
tenderness. 1t should be kept till tender,
and the time will depend upon the weather.
The tenderness of meat and its cooking
causes the fibers thereof TO be more easily
broken up in the stomach it is thus di-
gested without delay. Beefsteak should
be most tender before being submitted to
the process of cooking. 1t should always
be done-or rather underdone-over clear
fire of coal cinders, or coke, which is better

LIGHTNING HOLES OF THE ALPS Prof
Brun has published in the Archipes de Gen
ere an interesting study on the so-called
lightning holes to be found in the high
Alps He and other investigators have
found them at heights from 3-34S to 4,e00
meters, or between 1l,000 and Is 900 feet
above the sea-level. Usually they are found
on SUBMITS. Sometimes the rocky mass,
which has been vitriied in the passage of
the electric fluid, presents the appearance
of small scattered pearls, sometimes of a
series of seniispherical cavities only few
millimeters in diameter. Sometimes there
are vitrifed rays going cut from central
point to distance of four or five inches.
Sometimes a block detached from the mass
appears as if bored through by cannon
ball, the followed passage being quite
vitrified. The thickness of this yitritied
coating or stratum never exceeds MILL
meter and is sometimes not more than the
quarter of that depth. The varying colors
which it presents depend on the qualities
and composition of the rock The same
may be said as TO its transparency. On the
Rungtischorn the glass thus formed by the
lightning is black, owing to the quantity Of
actinolith which the rock contains. 1t is
brown on La Ruinette, the rock consisting
of feldspar mixed with gneiss containing
chloride of iron. Under the microscope
these lightning holes display many interior
cavities, which must be attributed TO the
presence OF water in therock at the moment
of melting by the electric discharge. This
vitrified material has no influence on polar

ACTIVITY IN RAILWAY BUILDISG.-The
remarkable renewal of activity in railway
projection which characterizes the close of
1856 is now crowned by the biggest railway
building scheme of the age. The Chicago,
Kansas and Western Railway Company,
which is backed by the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fee has filed a charter under
which it proposes to build fifty-two lines,
comprising altogether 1924 miles of rail-
way, all of which is to lie in Kansas. The
new company is capitalized at S154, 100000
This is stupendous enterprise, indeed !;
one which would have been entirely out of
the question, in point of expediency, two
years ago and the existence of which now
reveals very suggestiyely the changed tinan-
cial condition of the country The i'm
mediate construction of all this projected
mileage can hardly be expected, however
The charter is probably made broad in or
der 10 head Off as far as possible, incur
sions of rival roads into the Santa Fe roads
territory. But the lines are well selected
with view to actual traffic requirements
and it will probably not be long before all
of them are in operation.-R ailirqy Rerieu

Two GREAT PRINcIPLEs.-Judge Steven
son Burke, of Cleveland, is always sharp
and incisive in a discussion of the labor
question. The other day, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, Henry Georges name was
mentioned in his presence, when he said,
as reported by New York Tribune reporter:
" Underlying all social systems there are
two great principles which workingmen
and everybody else must recognize. The
first is that the man who is responsible in
business, who must shoulder the burdens
of any business affair, who must pay the
bills and keep the machine running, must
have absolute control of that business. He
must be able to hire and discharge men as
he sees fit, and 10 regulate their wages with
each one individually. Any system of
society that would fall short of giving this
control to man would soon be chaos The
second thing that must be recognized by
the workingman is that there can be no
employees unless there are employers. En-
ployers are as essential as employees. So
ciety and business would be impossible
without them. These two ideas that l
have put in the shape of propositions are
fundamental. They reach down TO the
bottom of our whole society. When they
have been mastered and understood as they
should be by the workingmen of the coun-
try, there will be no necessity for strikes or
labor uprisings. '-Railtgay Reriew.

IS good either as supper or breakfast dish
to those in ordinary health.
Alter pork comes veal in the scale of in
digestibility, so that, on the whole, my best
advice TO the dyspeptic is to leave both
alone, with the exception of frizzed thinly-
cut bacon as relish in the morning.
Sweetbreads, whether calves or sleeps,
are very nutritious and assist in the diges-
ton of other foods.
On the whole, the health-seeker will do
well to make the flesh of the sheep and OK,
in moderate quantities, his staple, so far US
aibuminoid food is concerned, but he must
vary this constantly with chicken, game
and fish, when in season.
He will hardly need to be told that beef
and mutton, when good and properly
cooked, give him life and energy, and there
fore comfort, and TO great degree happi-
ness but l may remind him that an I'M
due proportion of animal food renders him
more liable to infiammatory troubles
whether acute or chronic; and, again, if
subject TO rheumatism or other blood COM
plant, he must be cautious in the use Of
such yiaDds.- CdsSelrS Fdmily Magazine for

OUR LITTLE LADY's WALK.
There were crieketS in the bushes
And glow worms in the grass,
Ana the crows among the pine trees
Were holding noisy mass,
And the hare-bells were a-ringing
To greet the little lass.
From the topmost rail n squirrel
Winked at her with one eye;
She laughed to see peacock
With saucy strut 20 by
And then an ugly hop-toad
Made her run away and cry.
She toddled home unsteady,
With dilapidated look;
One shoe was in the brambies,
The other in the brook;
Her parasol was minus
The little wary crook.
Her hair was all a-tangle,
There were biiSters on her nose,
Her face was stained with berries,
And rumpled were her clothes,
And through her draggled stockings
Peeped out her pink-white toes.
Poor thing! She is so dreadful seepy,''
The Sand man" he went past;
She wants some milk an cookies
To break the hours fast
And of the "jolly fun " she had
Wen never hear the last

CHAPTER II.

Maud had opened the two drawing. room
windows and let down the venetians over
them, so that the room should be cool and
shady. How cool and summary it looked +!
Ladies fingers can so easily give simple
decorations an air of grace and refinement.
Then she left that room and went into the
one behind these two had been dear old
Mr.. Harbutt's rooms, and also those of the
tiresome Miss Paynes. The back room was
shady, and at once the bind was drawn up
to the top and the window thrown open as
high as it would go.
There was in the room an old chest of
drawers, the piece of furniture that Mr..
Harbutt had once said was worth more
than all else the room contained put to-
gether.
1t was beautifully made, the dark old
oak was of the finest grain. and how deli
cately were the Jennings and corners fitted
A reeded line was drawn or turned at the
frontage of each drawer; on its top, too.
making an artistic border or finish TO its
level polish, there was the same reeded
decoration, running four-square. Each
drawer had two pendent and triangular
brass handles. They copy these old things
nowadays, but this was a veritable an
tique.
Five drawers in all, and in the top and
most shallow one q key protruded from its
keyhole. Maud remembered the whole
thing as long as she remembered anything,
for in the olden days it had stood in the
nursery In those days the top shallow
drawer was Just as exactly level as the
other drawers had been. Fancy methodi-
cal nurse allowing that right-hand corner
to project in that unsightly way If the
piece of furniture had not been so seasoned
by age one might have supposed that the
wood had warped at that one corner.
Maud was bent upon Strengthening it.
All the four lower drawers were divided
with their fresh white paper lining, and
now, somehow, some one has locked this
top drawer, had forced the lock and bent
the key.
"Well have you straight" was Maud's
cry to herself as she worried the old key.
Never bit would it move. except indeed
to fix itself more firmly within the intrica-
cies of the lock.
I'm physic you y Maud cried.
4 moments run down stairs for some
oil, and physic was used. Some few
more wrigglings and turnings. and hey,
presto the magic is done, the lock is
loosened, the drawer is opened
However, opened does not mean a stimuli
taneous cure of its uneven corner. Oh no.

of any avail, the drawer simply will not
work to its pristine level.
But Maud had strong will. and mind
that probed TO the reason of things. In q
trice She had the rebellious drawer out oil
its groove and ANONYMOUSLY laid at her
feet, while supple white arm was barred &c

shallow space. From end to end arm and
fingers went seeking-then. the sinner vas
