Growing and Drying Nutmegs.

A writer who has explored New
Guinea describes the nutmeg region.
Upon fine piece OF table land he
came upon three houses erected in the
very heart OF the forest. These were
used by the natives for drying the nut
megs. 1.-The country was everywhere
magnificent, and the aroma OF the
spice-laden air delicious. Nutmeg and
other squaIly valuable trees were
everywhere growing in great profusion.
The fruit OF the nutmeg IN appearances
resembles pear, and when ripe opens
and displays the nut, covered with a
beautiful red coating OF mace. The
nuts are then picked and taken to the
houses. where they are husked and
placed ON shelves. They are then
partly roasted over slow fire until all
the moisture Is extracted, after which
they are cooled and sent to market ~

The Baby's Savings.

A little girl presented herself at the
counter Of the Dime Savings Bank and
handed bank book to Mr.. Woolfenden,
the Genial cashier.
She was little thing, and hardly
reached to the window in stature. Her
small face wore a grieved look, and
tears stood in her wistful blue eyes.
"1t's baby's book" she said, with a
tremor in her voice, "and baby is
dead"
"My dear child" said Mr.. Woolfen-
den gently, "what do you wish me to do
with the book ?"
"Why, SIR" said the little one, "its
no good to baby now-she don't want II
and mamma thought maybe you could
make it over to me for little sister"
So a new book was made out, and the
small savings OF baby's lifetime were
transferred to it, and the little mait
whose first business transaction was sc
sad one went away satisfied that she
had done the best she could with the
baby's savings. .-Detroit Free Press.

DRESSING POULTRY.
How to Prepare Fowl for Market in
Very Short Time.

How to Prepare q Fowl for Market in a
Very Short Time.
To dress fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet SO that it will
drop convenient height, and attach a
wire hook to the under beak of the
fowl. to which hang half u brick. Sever
the jugalar vein with sharp knife.
and proceed to pick, holding the wings
with one hand while you pick with the
other. Work quickly. Get most of
the feathers off the breast side with
three or four hand pulls, and change
the wings to the other hand held
across the breast OF the fowl, and with
u few pulls get most of the feathers OF
the back. Grasp one wing at time,
and pull out the long feathers at one
stroke. Then finish up the picking en-
tirely before the fowl is taken down.
When done, chop Off the head, take a
sharp knife and cut through the skin
around the vent, being careful not to
sever the intestine. Pull gently, and
as the intestine comes out insert the
forefinger and bring out the intestines
rapidly, but do not break them. Get
them out of the gizzard, and break off
there by the thumb and foreiinger, and
your fowl is ready for market. II you
wish to make ready to cook, the hole
must be slightly enlarged and the giz-
zard pulled out, cut open and the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food,
stc. A slit must be made in the breast
md the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs. 1t is not
necessary. The heart should be re-
moved and washed, as some clotted
blood is usually around it, The opera
ton of preparing fowl for market can
be done by an expert sometimes in
three minutes, American AgricullMr.

The Lame and Halt Can Climb It a.
Quickly Now as the Robust.
1t is now possible to ascend Pixies
Peak by wagon. Who among those
who from distance of one hundred
miles or more gazed in 40 upon this
snow-tipped crest, supposed that in '83
decrepiG team OF mules and q wagon
with the tire wired ON would ever
desecrate the noble height! or course
tourists who would have paused at the
foot till now, will ride to the summit,
breathe the thin, cold air, look upon
the panorama OF beauty which spreads
to the Uintah mountains OF Mormon
dom westward, and south to the Span
ish peaks guarding the New Mexico
line. They will be sure to do this But
the element of adventure is gone. The
accomplishment is no longer tug, a
test of endurance or a triumph. The
lame and halt Gun climb as quickly as
the robust. The consumptive can OK
pire in rarified ectascy at an elevation

Once tourists walked pantingly the
entire distance or bestrode picturesque
burrows and let the beasts do the pant
ing, They went by the edge OF preci-
pices. They had hair-breadth 'scapes,
or ut least an elegant chance to say that
they had them. All this is passed.
There is still the never-meltlng snow,
till the glowing beauty OF sunset, kiss
ing every thing In sight, still the
shadOwy picture of the plains rubbing
its edges against the distant horizon,
but old Pixies Peak has taken tumble
in public esteem. 1t haa been pilfered
OF its romantic charms. Pegasus was
harnessed to plow, and kicked.

LONDON POLICE COURTS.
Truthfulness OF the Pictures Drawn l
Dickens In "Oliver Twist"

Truthfulness OF the Pictures Drawn by
Dickens In "OlIver Twist"
Very early in his career, in "Oliver
Twist" Charles Dickens drew a terri
bly, life-like picture Of the dirt, the
squalor, the fetid atmosphere and the
.ruffianly surroundings OF the police
office, then the scandal of Hatton
Garden, and not long before his death
the great novelist made incidental
mention of a 'villainous police court"
as place yet actually existing. 1t
did exist. During the five-and-thirty
years over which the literary activity
OF Dickens extended the old police
court in Bow street.-The chief one, it
must be remembered, in the metropolis
had undergone little, if any, struct-
ural reform. 1t was to most intents
and purposes as "villainous' as it had
been in the days of Sir John Fielding
and Sir Richard Birnie; although
dirty, noisome and uncomfortable as it
continued to be, it was considered a
vast Improvement on the police tribu-
nails of the past. In the days whsn
Harry Fielding was stipendary magis-
trate he sorrowfully confessed that his
stipend was made up of 1.-THE dirtiest
money in the world" The ordinary
London police court was the upper
room of a tavern, and Mt the conclusion
of the case, while his Worship the JUS
tice and his clerk were regaling them
selves with bowl of punch in the par
lor, the defendent who was able to find
bail, his attorney, and the parish con-
stable were getting tipsy in the tap
room. As for the prisoners unpro-
vided with bail, they were comfortably
handcuffed and flung into the cellar or
the coal hole until such time as it
suited the convenience of the constable
70 drag them of to jail. A new, spa
cious and handsome pile OF buildings
has arisen in lieu OF the 'villainous
police court" OH the other side Of the
way in Bow street, and in the outskirts
of the metropolis more than one COM
modious police Office has been erected.
Many of the remaining ones, however,
need reforming altogether by the
stringent process OF being pulled down
and built up again in something like
consonance with modern ideas OF the
dignity of justice and the claims OF
those who are 80 luckless Us to be
brought up before magistrate, or to
attend police court In any capacity,
TO be considered and treated as human
beings. Telegraph.

Log Cabin Success.
What ails the Young menl

What ails the young menl
Robert Garretts father left him fort
une Of twenty millions. He was from child
hood reared in luxury; he received splen-
did education with an especial training into
thorough knowledge of railroad manage
ment and was expected to succeed his father
as a railroad king.
Within three years after the responsible
ties which his fathers death threw upon
him were assumed he is reported broken
down man, with mind and health perma-
nently shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions of money, who is reported
among the ''wrecks" His father, bred a
stone-mason, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain power,
so he became a great contractor, then q
railroad king and left half dozen millions
for his son to dissipate. The young man is
q success as a dissipator.
The founders of both Of these great es-
tates were born in the most humble walks
OF life, grew strong, mentally and physical
ly, by simple living and honest labor and
developed into financial giants. Their sons
werc reared in the lap of luxury and devel-
oped into intellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have not,
as q rule, come from the elegant mansions
- SAAS
rural districts. Simple ways of living,
freedom from dissipation and enervating
pleasures, simple remedies for disease, eff
fective and which leave no poison In the
system, develop brawny, brainy men, who
compel the world to recognize their
strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log Cabin
remedies are the safest and surest for fam
lily use. Our grandmothers knew how to
prepare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs
and balsams which drive disease out of the
system by natural methods and leave no
after ill effects The most potent of these
old-time remedies were, after long and
/ searching investigation, secured by II. H.
! Warner Of safe cure fame, and are now
put out for the "healng of the nations" in
the Warmers Log Cabin remedies.
Regulate the regulator with Warmers s
Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood
giving health, strength, mental and bodily
vigor, you may hope to cope successfully
with the most gigantic financial problems
OF the age, without wrecking health and
manhood.

lam glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs,
that am able TO endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
believe their value can not be estimated.
Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh Is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex.
ternal or internal, equals them in certainty
and rapidity. Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache

result-a speedy cure.

Pleasant journeys can always be had via

are courteous and obliging: the sleeping
and dining cars and day coaches are peers
of any in the Northwest. The leaving hours
at principal terminal points are convenient

| Well" he replied, you are all aware

There they went down through the hard

or steam fire engine there. To go through
the same kind Of rock here will require an
outlay of about 1900 to get the proper
tools and machinery to drill through it: the
geological formation here is about the same
as at st. Augustine, and as the outfit pur
chased for drilling the first we'll would be
the property of the city, there would be no
additional expense for drilling other wells
of the same kind. Two or three of these
wells in the southern part of the city, with
fire plugs attached. would solve the problem
of protecting that now unprotected locality
from fire. A few of these wells in the CITY
would relegate the poisonous surface wells

No business man would hesitate to
expend 81, 900 if there was a remote

ment should prove successful one 1t
would not only mean the abandonment of

An analysis SHOWS that there is little differ

The same rock, of the same degree of hard

unexpected surprises from the President
that when they read his letter of acceptance

cans generally appear to have entertained
the belief that the President would avail
himself of his letter of acceptance to shift
his position on the tariff question Some
of the democrats who do not keep in close
relations with the President seem to have
had some vague expectations of similar
sort.

day evening a row occurred in Sills' bar
room between William Green and Jack
Hurst While the fight was going on Bob
Green ran up and said TO Green,
''Who is itY' Green replied, Jack Hurst"
Bob Immediately shot Hurst, the ball taking
effect in his left side. Hurst fell to the
floor and Green fired again, the second shot
striking about two inches back OF the left
ear and coming out just above and in front
of e left temple. Hurst Is in very crit
ical condition. The ball IL his BODY was
probed for by Drs. Boston and Bulloch, but
they failed to find it, Sheriff Gus Hurst
was telegraphed for and came and arrested
Green and took him to Townsville. Green
made no attempt to escape He had plenty
of chances to do So The shooting took
place about O'Clock, and Sheriff Hurst ar
rived here about 10 80 o'clock.
Another story is that the shooting was
done by some one on the insi1e of SllS
house. One party affirms positively that
the shooting was done by some one inside.
He says he was 5 anding in front of the
door, aud could see everything that was go
ing on, and is positive that Bob Green is not
the party who shot Hurst, while, on the
other hand, four or five are just as positive
that Green is the man that did it. Whisky
was the sole cause of the disturbance. The
whole crowd was drinking, and most of
them were drunk.
