IT is probable now that the Republi-
cans of Wilmington will nominate Mr.
Lewis Thompson for State Senator and
Mr.. William NJ Pyle for Levy Court
Commissioner on Saturday afternoon.
In honoring these two men, the Republi-
cans Of Wilmington will honor them
selves. They are both eminently worthy
of the places to which their party asso

There is very little doubt that often
sive garbage may be destroyed by burn
ing in properly constructed "destruct-
ors, as they are called in England. But
everything will depend upon the method.
In Milwaukee and Pittsburg crude appli-
ances were adopted which were unbear-
able nuisances to the people Of the neigh
borhood If the experiment is TO be tried
in Philadelphia inquiry should first be
made Of the authorities Of Birmingham.
Manchester, Glasgow, and other cities in
Great Britain where Instructors are in
successful operation. The burning Of gar
bage is no new thing The great inland
cities of antiquity undoubtedly burned
their garbage as a necessary sanitary pre-
caution. as they also burned the bodies
Of the dead.
If it should be ascertained that Phila-
delphia could dispose Of her own garbage
by burning, at such limitation of expense
as to induce the trial, there would remain
no doubt that the solid excrementitial
matter in sewage could be similarly
treated. Having thus paved the way for it,
she could reasonably ask for such legisla
tion as would compel the other towns
along the Schuylkill River to make a sim
liar disposition Of the sewage and gar
bage that now befoul our water supply.

How Beef is Made Tender.

AS a prominent beet dealer of this city
was showing a reporter over his place Of
business in Faneuil Hall market the other
day, he discourscd Interestingly on the
best method of preparing beef for the
family or the hotel table. at is not
generally known" said he, 'That meat
kept for day or two is vastly superior
TO that which is absolutely fresh Here
is some beef, p" he C ntinucd, as he lifted
n Cloth-Clover from some loins of meat in
the bottom recesses of the cellar, (which
has been kept by me nearly three weeks
Tor one OF the most famous steak houses
in this city. See what difference there
is between this meat and that upstairs,
which has just come from Chicago. This
looks dark and rancid and almost unit
to eat, yet ii is vastly superior TO that
which has Just come in. The average
family man will not buy meat that is not
absolutely fresh and bfight-red IN color,
but the knowing hotel man wants his
beef three or four weeks old, providing,
oil course, that he can get a beef dealer
who will keep il that length OF time for
him. You may have noticed that the
steak which you order in n first class
restaurant in the city is usually much
more tender than that which you pur-
chase from your provision dealer and
have cooked by your wife at home. Per-
haps you have wondered why it is so.
when your have always been very partic-
ular to order the very freshest and ten
dercst beef that your butcher had in
stock, without regard TO the price. Well,
the reason is that the dealer knew right
we'll that your family would make great
kick If Inc sent home beef that had
'rottcd' for week or two and had be
come nice and tender, aud would dec are
that he did not keep fresh meats. They
would, in that case, be perfectly right,
but beef cannot be perfectly fresh and bc
tender at the same time. TO bereally good.
this variety Of meat should be kept in
a refrigerator for at least ten DAYS or
two weeks. In that time, however, il
loses its bright, rosy color. and turns a
dull red. The hotel man TO whom |
referred, and whom this beef is intended
for, will not take beef from mo unless il
is at least three weeks old, and If. at
times, there is a short supply OF beef i'm
the Boston market, and lind IL impos-
sible to keep beef for him as long as he
desires, am compelled to go outside
and purchase 'old beef somewhere i'm
the market. In the future, when yo
want to buy real tender piece of beef,
do not be afraid to purchase n piece that
has been kept for two or three weeks.
you will find it greatly superior to fresh
beef, despite the fact that it may not
look quite so inviting before it is cooked.
i do not intend to give hotel business
secrets away, as a usual thing, but |
would like to have people learn that they
must not blame the provision dealer if.
when they order their beef to be perfectly
fresh, they fail TO find it as tender as
they expected when it is placed on the
table. - Boston HsraH.
