How TO Roast Meat.

Mrs. Emma P. Ewing; of the schoo
Of domestic economy at the Iowa Agri
cultural College, says:
In roasting meats of all kinds thu
method adopted should be the one that in
the most perfect manner preserves the
juices inside the meat To roast beef
in the best possible manner, place
the clean-cut side of the meat upon
a smoking hot pan, which must be
over quick fire. Press it close to the
pan until scared and slightly Drowned
Reverse and let the opposite side become
similarly scared and brown. Then put
it at once in the oven, the heat of which
should be firm and steady, but not too
intense, aud leave it undisturbed unit
cooked. The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound, if it is to
be rare, less half an hour deducted from
the aggregate time on account of soaring.
In other words, five-pound roast of
beef will require an hour and quarter,
q six-pound roast an hour and a hall, and
30 on.
If the oven is not too hot the beef re
quires no basting and is better without
w hCh tAC ONCh ls at luC BlODNl
temperature and the cooking is going on
all right, the meat will keep up gentle
sputtering in the pan. If, upon opeuin g
the oven door, this sputtering is not
perceptible, more heat is required. But
II in addition to the sputtering any
smoke is discernible in the oven, the
heat is too intense and should be lessened.
Unless the heat of the oven is too great
the drippings in the pan will not burn
and smoke, and when tine meat is cooked
there will be a thin coating of brown
jelly in the pan where the meat rested
which by the addition of stock or waite
| will make delicious gravy.
Aroast of beef should never be washed
and if it has accidentally been wet o
moistened, it should be carefully wipeC
dry before it is scared or put to cook
Soaring almost instantly coats the Gu
side of piece of meat, and prevents tn
escape of juices in the after-process o
roasting, while firm, steady heat gentl
but thoroughly cooks it, and thus bot

| process. And as salt and water have
tendency to tougher and extract tn
! juices of meat, they should not be use
on it while roasting, if it is desired t
have the meat sweet, juicy and tender

Eating 100 Eggs at One Sitting.

Jersey, won a pocketful of greenbacks

The cotton industry in the Southern
States is gradually becoming one of the
most important industries in the coun.
try,n says Demores'. "All over the South
great activity is displayed, and now mills
are continually being erected. At Co.
lumbus, Georgia, one company has added
5000 spindles TO its mill. The cost OF
building some of the mills has been from
500. 900 to $500, 900, and after they
have been erected it has been found ne
cessary, owing to the large increase in
the work, to extend them. At Calves
ton, 81, ,0O0, 600 has been expended in
building a mill. All this vast expen.
diture OF capital has been the means of
giving employment to thousands of peo-
pie, and the result has been that the
working people of the South have bet
tered their condition. All the reso, rces
of the Southern States are being ra pidly
developed, and if this activity contin.

And never rest, and never wait,
But from its bosom, soon or late,
Cast the dead corpse. Time even so
Runs On and on, and may not rest,
But from it's bosom casts away

Once best, may not be always best
That which was but the dream of youth,
Begot Of widest fantasy,
To our old age, perhaps, may be
A good and great and gracious truth
That which was true in times gone by,
AS seen by narrow, ignorant sight,
May in the longer, clearer light
OF wiser times, become lie.

The last year has been unusually disas-
irous to navigation on the great lakes.
The Chicago Tribune presents startling
array of figures of losses which have oc.
cured iu the last twelve months. aud
which is appalling. Two hundred and
four human lives have been sacrificed
and 50, 800, 900 worth of property de
stroyed. Seventy-three vessels went to
the bottom as compared to fifty-seven
during 1886. Whether the increase was
due to the greater severity of the storms
or negligence is unknown. The effect of
the property losses will be to replace the
lost yessels-mostly sail-by steam pro
pellers, lessening greatly the risk of los
and increasing vastly the efficiency of the
lake transportation service. While the
loss this year was about 81, 600, 600 tons,
the increase for next year will be about
100, 900 tons.

A SENSATION IN RENO.

hanger, disappeared from her home on Mill
street last Sunday night about 7:I5 O'Clock,
in very peculiar manner. She had been
about the house all day in her usual spirits,
attending to her household duties. At the
hour named she threw light hood over her
head and stepped out of doors. Her parents
thought nothing Of the circumstance until
late, when she failed TO come in, and Mrs.
Talbot stepped to the door and called for
her. Not receiving a response, search was
instituted, but not trace of the missing
girl could be found. The officers have been
informed, and every effort is being made to
find the girl. Her name is Daisy Talbot,
and she is described as Of medium hight,
light complexion and weighs about 95
pounds.
The question for solution is whether it is
a case of kidnapping or elopement.

Frank McTigue, who shot the Silver Peak
postmaster last week is brother OF the young
lady who was asphyxiated in San Francisco
a couple of weeks ago. McTigue is step
son of A. A. Pollard, of Silver City, and
has gone by the name of Pollard as well as
McTigue. He had some difficulty with the
postmaster about letter that he knew to be
in the Office for him, in which he supposed
were the particulars of his sisters death. He
called for this letter under the name OF Nc.
Tigue and when informed that there was nc
letter there for such a person he asked il
there was letter for Pollard, and was in.
formed that there was. After explaining the
circumstances to the postmaster the letter
was refused him and he naturally became
very indignant, finally quarreled with and
killed the postmaster. He left the place
the same day and was not found for two days
after, when he was brought back and given a
hearing and bound over to appear before the
grand jury. He is now in Jail at Hawthorne.

The Walker Lake Bulletin says: George
Davis, a teamster, who had been in
dulging in little too mnch tangle foot OF
late, was locked up last Saturday for safe
keeping. Early in the evening the jailer
heard strange noises coming from Davis's
cell, and investigation disclosed the fact
that the prisoner had broken pane OF glass
from the window and was engaged in des'
perate effort to saw his windpipe in two
When the glass was taken from him he de-
voted his remaining energy to butting his
brains out against the stone walls. DIR. Reed
was summoned and found cash about four
inches long in Davis neck, which required
FIVE stitches to close up.
George says he has not the least recollec'

greatly distressed to learn what sensation
he had caused. He declares that henceforth
he is Prohibitionist from the base up.
