BOUlANGER RESIGNS.
of Deputies. Which May be Followed by Duel.

A Stormy Scene in the French Chamber
 by a Duel.
 PARIS, July 13.-Gen. Boulangers resigna- tion yesterday was the result of remarkable scene ill the chamber and was characteristic of the man.
 He entered the chamber for the first time since his return, and amid much confusion ascended the tribune and moved his resolu- tion for the dissolution of the house.
 M. Floquet, the prime minister, opposed point blank refusal to entertain the motion, and burst forth into furious diatribe against the general
 Gen. Boulanger was wrought up to 0 high pitch of excitement during the speech, and
 five times stigmatized the premier as an inn t?udent liar, each time raising @ storm of i'm precautions.
 The general was repeatedly called to order. The members became highly indignant Cries of rage were heard from all the benches. The most insulting epithets were hurled at him.
 At last the outraged sense of the house took the form of a vote of censure upon the member for the department of the Nord, which was moved and seconded amid an up roar of approval. 1nereupOn, DeIOre Cne house could come to a vote, Gen. Boulanger, protesting that the liberty of the tribune was threatened, ten dered his resignation to the president and quit the chamber amid cheers and laughter, l members following and hooting him to the steps of the palace. The general may be said to have been | driven from the house by tempest of rage. ! It was an expulsion rather than a resigna ation. It is expected that duel will take place
 to-day between Boulanger and Floquet, on ! account of what occurred in the chamber.

Their friends have coaxed and scolded, telling them how much younger and handsomer they would appear, and what . great advantage new teeth would be to them in every way.

Removal Of Largo Palm Trees.

The huge palm trees on tho Saunders

people. They were there long before the

the largest is fully four feet and the
height over sixty feet, while the bodies
of all rise like well-roundcd pillars sym.

Why Uncooked pIeot snoi,s.

For some hours after an animal is
killed the muscular fibers arc soft, and
consequently tender; it is only after all
vital heat has passed away that the flesh
becomes hard from the gradual stiffen
ing OF Its muscular portions. Once that
tense condition of the tissue is estab.
lishcd it remains until the relaxation sets
in which prccedes decomposition; with
this relaxation the flesh softcns; and it
becomes tcnderer as it progresses until
the meat is upon the verge of putretac-
ton. Until the meat taints it is suitable
for food. When meat is upon the verge
OF putrcfaction the color becomes very
dark, the odor gradually offensive, and
the iibcrs moist and soft; rs putrefaction
advances peculiar grcenish, damp mould
forms upon the exposed surfaces, and
the odor grows intolerabe Heat
and moisture favor this dostruc-
ton of animal tissue, which is
commonly called tainting. In damp
summer weather meat which has been
preserved by the agency of ice spoils
quickly after it is exposed to normal
summer temperature, probably because
this generally combines heat and moist
urc. When freshly killed meat is SUBJ
iected toa dry summer heat it is rapidly
converted into the wcll-known "jerked
beef" Of the plains; this method of
preservation is as widely known as it is
primitive Meat dried by the action of
sun and air, after being cut in strips, is
subsequently powdered aud mixed with
Tat in the form of pcmmicau. Hunters
and explorers prefer this preservation
of meat to any other because it yields
the greatest amount of nourishment in
relation TO bulk. The preparation of
pcmmican is quite within possibil ties
for housholdcrs who are removed from
trade centers. when they do not wish to
salt meat. -HousewDe.
