Beef Tea, and KIev sts Fro
pare it.

First let us take that probably
most valuable of all inyalids pre-.
parations-viZ., beef tea. The quick.
est and best method of preparing
good beef tea is as follows: Take
q pound OF good lean gravy beef,
cut it up into little .pieces, and
squeeze these in every direction, in
order, as much as possible, to ex-
extract the juices out Of the meat.
Next place it ALI. e., both water
and meat-in an enameled saucepan,
and put it by the side Of the fire
not on the FIRE, aud gradually heat
it, taking the greatest care that it
does not BOIL, Having continued
this process for about an hour and a
half or two hours, during the last
half-hour keeping the beef tea hot
without even simmering, strain the
whole of through a strainer, press.
ing the meat again with a spoon, so
as to squeeze as muck as possible
all the goodness cut o. it. Then re.
move all the fat. This can be done
by carefully SWIMMING it, Or, if
time will allow, by letting it get
cold, when the fat will harden On
the top. Now to my mind good beef
tea is a Of the things we can take
when i'll, but sick persons often tire
of it, and loathe it. When this is
the case, very often by adding a
little sherry, and allowing it to get
cold (when if properly made it will
be a jelly, patients will take it in
this form when they could not in
the liquid state.

Rumors have been rife here all
the week concerning aAorrible affair
fair which occurred the night Of
the 10th abouttwomiles from the town
Of Lafayette. The report Is thata
party of men went te q negro cabin

to burst open the door the negro
fred on the crowd killing John ~Ju,
dice and wounding several others.
Next morning the negro vas found
dead and little girl about II years
old with her throat ~cut from
ear to ear was lying near him. OF
course this will be charged up to the
Regulators. We do,not believe and
hope it was not they who committed
sueh an atrocious crime as the brutal
murder Of an innocent child. We
have Regulators in this parish and
plenty Of them but we are proud TO
sag they they do not engage in any
night prowling Or atrocities of this
kind. What they do is in the broad
open light of the day and generally
approved. The Regulators Of Lafay.
cite owe it to society, to themselves
and the fair namo of their parish to
see that these men are hunted down
and brought to justice as were the

tors.

no such name as Nirvana appeared upon
any chart Of travel or business Then, at
Effle's suggestion, note was sent to the
doctor, her father debating it, and she
writing in his name with adistractinglyp pref
ty feminine hand. The last thing in it was
the question "Whcre is Nirvanap and II
appeared in a postscript as an unimportant
after-thought.
The doctor answered the note, although
he received it on the very day he was re-
turning home, and he said carelessly, after
replying to the main question involved,
that Nirvana was not place but state.
This was surprise. Mr. Harkins flew
into a rage.
"As il didn't know the name Of the
States! !" he said; "if it's any thing it's a
territory-State, indeed aud the sick man
ran over the entire list Of thirty eight
States to satisfy Efie, who could not have
told for her life whether Nirvana was q
State or not.
When the doctor returned he waited a
day or two before calling on his patient. He
did this as a sautary measure, denying
himself the most urgent desire Of his life.
When he did call he found the sick man
up, a wholesome flush Of health and energy
in his face, and seated at u table on which
railway guides, Biographies and tourist
books were piled in promiscuous heap
"Glad TO see you, DOCTOR" no said
brusquely, as Ellie ushercd in the man Of
science. ''rd have been Off before this IL
could have found that infer mean, that
place you told US about"
The doctor looked conscious
at isn'ta place; thought wrote you
that It's stated"
But tell you it isn't state" retorted
the invalid. 1--WE got every State and
Territory on the list right here before me-
Now, find me that Nirvana II you can"

vowed inwardly he would never air his
learning again. "a state Of humiliation 10
which the Buddhists consign souls. IL

Efie TO take you there. 1t Is a common
thing FOR a-a-physican to say go 10

But Mr.. Harkins was furious "9o 10

But here Effie, who had been laughing 2
soundlessly in the next room, came 70 the

with becoming modcsty, the young lazy 5
allusion to himself
"But we may both be in Nirvana by that
time" she responded
$50 much the better, " laughed the doctor;
~ often go there myself"
When the physician was gone Efie Hark'
ms hurried into her fathers room. Az
sight OF the pale, morose face OF her De-
loved parent, her heart smote her for neg.
lecting him, and the Doctors diagnosis OF
the disease returned TO her with alarming
force.
"Papa, dear" she said, in her gentless
tones, "did he tell you what it was
"No!n calculated the invalid with consid-

Out with i'll can stand any thing better
than suspense. What is it, grlF'
His tragic manner really frightened poor
Effie out Of her senses, but she managed To
gasp:
"The doctor says it's h-h-hypo"
"Hypo The d-l!' retorted her father;
"that's as much as to say l am making be-
lieve sick and paying out my money Tor
nothing. He must be fool!'
"Then it won't kill you, dear" said his al.
fectionate daughter, sitting down by him and
taking his hand in hers; land he said, papa,
that we must go TO Nirvana.'
uWhere the dickens is NirvanaW asked
the sick man, with energy.
"Why, thought you would know, dear"
"Well, 1 don't. Sounds like a mining
town. It's probably away up in the north
ern peninsula in tho lumber region. Get
railroad guide, or sn almanac, or some
thing, and find out"
