Frank was one of the bravest, heart
TEST and most CHEEKY young fellows l
have ever known; and when, tired of
the hard work on the diggings, he bade
us good-by one April morning and
started off to walk, as his first homeward
stage, across country to the main road
leading to Melbourne, we all felt that
we had lost comrade not easy to re-
place.
In those colonial ante-railway days
Gsj4l we, who were located in out of
the way places, never saw a newspa-
per, although to some of the more pop
ulous diggings the Melbourne Argus
was a frequent visitor. We therefore

villain caught his heavy weapon by
the muzzlc and hurled it at me with all
his strength. Quickly guarding, sue

We have not, as nation, attained to
any degree of perfection in the cooking
Of meats which are to be served cold.
The English have great variety Of
potted meats, pressed beef and veal
loafs, which are designed to be served
cold and these cold spiced meats are
especially delightful in summer, when
IL is not always desirable or convenient
to have hot fire sufficient for roasting
or broiling A plain corned beef pressed
in the liquid in which it is boiled is par
ticularly delicious served cold. A cold
pressed beef is prepared about as fol-
lows: Rub twelve pounds of round
of beef with half a pound of coarse su.
gar. Let 1t stand for two days, turning
it two or three times. Pound together
large teaspoon of mace, teaspoon OF
black pepper, two of cloves, half tea.
spoon OF cayenne pepper, an ounce OF
saltpetre, one small nutmeg and two
ounces of juniper berries. Mix this with
teaspoon of sugar and rub it thor
oughly into the meat on all sides, and
let it stand for three days Then rub
half pound of fine salt into the meat.
Let it stand for twelve days, rubbing
and turning the meat daily. 1t is then
ready to cook, or it may be dried, if you
please, like tongue. If it is to be
cooked, wash it, but do not soak it.
Law it in pot that just fits it and pour
over it a quart and half beef-stocle or
water. When it begins to boil, skim it
well, add small onion, carrot, pieces
of parsley and bay leaf. Let it sim
mer gently for four and half hours,
being careful that it does not boil down
in the pot and burn. This is really q
roast in the pot. Let it get cold in the
liquid it was cooked in, then put it in
the press, pressing it without removing
it from the liquid in the pot. Let it be
pressed for twelve hours, and serve il
sliced cold for tea.
A veal loaf is an especially nice disf
served in this way. TO prepare it
mince three pounds of the lean part o.
an uncooked leg of veal, add six but
tered crackers pounded fine, butter the
size of an egg, one teaspoon of pepper
half teaspoon of cloves, an even table
spoon of salt and little parsley. BinC

There should be water in pan unde
it, and it should be basted frequently
When it is thoroughly done, take it NJ
and let it get perfectly cold. Serve i

NAPLES AND NEW YORK.
Tho Beautiful and Typical Marine View
Presented by Each City.

Th0 Ieauttul ana lyplcai NIbrlne view
Presented by Each City.
Artists and descriptive writers regard
the bay OF Naples as one of the most
lovely views ever disclosed to human
eyes. On that favored eXpanse of
shining sea and verdure-lined shore the
choicest gifts of our fond and partial
Mother Nature are showered lavishly,
as though she would attune the children
of summer and the sun to harmony by
the graceful beauty of their environ
ment. The soft tones of the blue Med
iterranean, the yet softer tones of the
clear Italian sky with its heecy, floating
cloud-islands, the bright colors of the
fishing craft, the dots of white canvas
in the middle distance and the smaller
dots away toward Capri and the hazy
horizon, and the subtle, indescriba BILE
charm of the mellow Italian atmosphere
merge into one perfect picture. Small
wonder it is that the Italians have
coined the saying 'See Naples and
diel'
Americans who can not journey to
southern Europe, can enjoy view
nearly equal in some particulars and
superior in others to the Neapolitan
waterscape. From the span of Brook
lyn bridge than can view an eXpanse of
greater variety in human interest and
quickened by more forms of life, even
though the view be without the eX-
quisite sky and sea tints and scenic
effects of the other. The lower stretches
of the harbor are bordered by the green
uprise of Staten Island, fianlled by the
Knickerbocker estuary, named Kill Won
Kull, and by the Narrows, guarded by
the esplanades and parapets of Fort
Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton. The
harbor itself is busy with the mighty
transatlantic steamships, the coastwise
shipping and steamboats,, ferry boats
and pleasure craft of all descriptions
passing between the Bartholdi statue
and the national ensign flying at the
army post on Governors Island. Forests
of masts and spars line the shores. The
panorama of the busiest port in the
western world is before the eye.
Each view is typical: The Neapolitan,
of poetry and artistic culture; the Amer
lean, of direct utility and progress
Each has it's lesson. Y. Ledger.

THE VANISHED HAND.

And why should the slope OF my swarded path
Seem suddenly oil uphill2

So cheerily on my way;
How could believe so calm a light
Could turn to so chill gray
And whereforeY Because the hand
That hold in its clasp my own
Whose touch was benediction such
As only the blest have known
Was caught by the viewless hand
or an angel, and upward drawn.
What hope, what comfort what guidance now,
Since the stay OF my life is gomez
"But a stronger is left to thee

"The arm that shall carry thee safe to Him
when thou crossest the tides of DEATH"

Had need Of the chosen three,
TO watch with Him through the awful throes

For the touch of the vanished hand"

There was one feature of the fight
between the Seventh cavalry and the
Sioux at Wounded Knee which indicates
in the most unmistakable manner the
effect of modern firearms on the defen-
sive, and which is, as far as | know,
without parallel in history. After the
fight was over and the Indians had been
killed or captured the cavalry set to
work to bury the dead. Suddenly shot
was heard and horse fell wounded.
The troops were puzzled to know
where the shot came from, but their
mystifcation was soon ended by a puff
of smoke from the top of a chimney-lilse
rock on neighboring bluff, the ring Of
rifle ball followed by the whip-lille
crack of Winchester An Indian shot
through the shoulder had managed TO
drag himself TO the rock and was firing
upon the troops as fast as he could pull
the rigger in his disabled condition. A
squad was detailed to silence him. but
so we'll was he covered that not shot
could reach him, while his bullets were
sent to all parts of the battle grounds.
The fact was finally recognized that
the solitary wounded Indian with his
Winchester completely dominated the
field and that it would cost half dozen
lives to dislodge him. AS it was not con.
sidered worth while to go to this ex-
pense the only thing to be done was to
march off. The regiment accordingly
withdrew, having been fairly driven of

Prince Alexander of Prussia, the queen

Rights of Suburban People.

The remark is occasionally made that
che owners of suburban property should
be very modest in giving counsel to the
municipal authorities. and that they have
no sort Of right to object to any legisla-
ton proposed for the city of Richmond.
We do not take this narrow view of the
matter. In the first place, most OF these
property.owners are now and long have
been tax-paying citizens OF Richmond.
But II they were not, we should always DO
willing to hear what they have to say. be-
cause In Q few years all such suburbs as
Barton Heights and Chestnut Hill will be
made part OF the citv of Richmond. This
our suburban friends foresee, and this
gives them some right to make their views
known oil questions Of public moment.
Richmond's suburban development has
been of grea. advantage TO her. How rich
and prosperous would we be if all OF our
peoples investments were in our suburbs
tnstead Of in far-of "boom townsi" The
architects who plan these villas and the
contractors who build them. with few ex-
ceptions, are our citizens. The supplies
OF the families are bought from our mer-
chants, who also patronize our lawyers
and doctors and places of amusement.
True they escape city taxation, hut they
will not always be able to do so, and the
majority are even now ready and soiicitous
20 DO annexed" TO Richmond.
No more suicidal policy could be
adopted than for Q city like ours to dis
courage suburban development. especially
n d the case here in half . dozen In.
stances. where the plans are laid and thu
buildings are erected in contemplation Of
Che near future when the locality will be
made part of this corporation.
Indeed, but for the enterprises OF which
we have spoken. II is exceedingly likely
tl,at the prosperity Of Richmond woult
have been much impaired by the high
prices at which the comparatively few va
can't lots now remaining within the cor
porats limits are held.
The Suburbs are serving as well now
end the advice Of their residents wal
always have weight with our thoughtful
citizens. Moreover. the time is not far dis
can't when they will be part and parcel" o
Richmond. Until then do not reject gooi
edvios because II comes from them.
