the boom that followed the National
party's triumph in 1878 was in full force.
Other mills have run on short hours, and
the industry has lanquishcd simply be-
cause the plant was too big for the mar

steamers OF the Canadian Pacific line

Mexican Tnmales.

Tamalc is the name Of dish prepared
by the Mexicans and Spanish. 1t requires
considerable expenditure of labor and
tine, and is for that reason Only in,f&e
up III large quantities. Usually .iiftoen
or twenty dozen tamalcs are cooked at
one time. The mode of preparing them
is as follows: First, small quantitt, oil
corn is placed in lye, than, after, being
thoroughly washed, is ground to fipe
dough on mclate-(a melate is n. Kind

ground the mess OF dough is next made
palatable by a good preparation of salt
and lard being mixed with it. Then the
next component part of the savory dish,
the meat, is prepared. A hogs head,
which had been previously Thoroughly.
boiled, is now chopped up very ;ilnc and
highly seasoned with thyme, garlic,
black pepper and chile, and is stewed a
little while. The two primo ihctors, that
is the dough and the meat, are now
ready, AID the tamale making begins in
earnest. a large tub full of snowy white
shucks is brought in, boiling water i.
poured over them, and rs soon as they
become softened, several hands dive into
the tub in search of nice large shuck.
A dab OF the dough is taken ALSO. and
nimblc fingers soon spread half way the
shuck, and so on, until all the .shucks arc
covered with dough. The stewed meat
now comes into play, spoonful of it be.

The shucks are then tightly rolled and
the ends turned up. SO rs to prevent the
meat from escaping. This being over
the tamales are next piled in the, form

placed under it, and boiling water il

walls. In the course; of two hours the,
dish is ready to be eaten. In Mexico, .an6

THE KITCHEN RANGE.

The management of the kitchen ranre
IS one OF the housewives accomplish
ments. Tho first necessity is cleanliness:
A range cloggcd with ashes will never
bake satisfactorily, neither can clear,
bright fire be kept up,in it. The CRATES
must be clear of cinders and ashes, and
the fuel must put in with some regard
for uniformity. Do not pile the wood
or coal all in ono end, but place it even.
ly, so as to distribute the fire over the
CRATE.
Open the hampers until tie fire is we'll
under way. No time is gained by trying
to save fire at the outset. Let it come
up briskly, and as soon as it is clear and
bright close the hampers, and take care
of it.
In baking cake, the proper tempera-
turc will brown the cake as soon rs it
has risen. The top should be even in
color, and will not crack if the oven is
right. If the oven is too hot, the cake
will bake too rapidly at the edges, and
as it must rise somewhere will burst in
the middle, ands sometimes: pour over,
the already baked edges
Bread should never bake too rapidly
at'first. Toomuch heat prevents rising,>
and the bread will be soggy even though
it s@ell done.
Great care must be taken that neither
cake nor bread is dropped or Jared, as
this is almost certain to cause hsnyy
streak through the loaf.
To tell If the cake is done, thrust a
clean broom straw into the middle. If
it comes out dry and clean the cake is
done. 1t is, however, best to leave it fot
moment to become thoroughly done.
Nothing is more unwholesome than half.
baked cake.
Many cooks test cake by wctting the
finger and, tapping the bottom of the
pan. If the metal Kisses the cake OF
dread is supposed to be done. i.
Some cooks take bread or cake from
the pan ut once; others leave it for
moment to steam, when it will come out,
much more easily. 1t may be covered
with cloth and left to cool. If cake is
to be frosted, it is we'll to have the frost.

The most manageable frosting is made
by breaking the whites OF two eggs in

simplest way of making frosting, and one

The New York Recordcr thinks that,
though there are many ways in which
man can manipulate for his own pur-
poses even the refuse of nature, there is
little or nothing that he can do in the
way of improving natural products. The
egg of the hen must come directly from
the nest and not be cunningly contrivcd
in the laboratory. The apple and the
orange have only one proper way of CON-
ing into existence, and that is the way
in which they have always grown.
especial creations" of this sort are works
for the production of which we must
look to higher power than that of man.

In 1884 an Englishman named Glad.
win Cave, while in New York collecting

porter the first published account of {,
remarkable suit he was about to bring
for the recovery of the estates of the
former Earls OF Newburgh, which was
worth about $40, 0O0,O 900. In the fol.

MIR. Caves claim turned upon the ques-
ton whether the last Countess of New

Will the Ncwburgh property to her hus-
band, whose heirs now hold it. No
novelist ever conceived stranger circum
stances than surrounded the deathbei of
this old lady. 1t was alleged that codi-
Gil to the will was framed after she was
dead and pen was put between her cold
fingers, which were moved to mark the
signature, while n buzzing fly was caught
on the window pane and placed inside
her mouth, so that the servants might
swear there was life in her body. Cave
lost his appeal, was made bankrupt, and
for a time disappeared. A year or two
ago he came to the surface again and or
ganized another assault on the property.
He succeeded at last in getting some
money together from speculative or sym
pathetic people, and began u new suit
on another tack. Through 1t all 1 saw
him often, a gaunt, sad eyed man, carry.
Ing forever with him black bag stuffed
with papers, incapable of thinking or
talking for moment of anything else
but his suit. Last winter his oppon-
ents were beaten on technical point

ton told me they half believed Cave
was going to win his suit The poor fel.
low himself was half wild with Joy and
confidence. Two days ago Lord Cole
ridge, on motion preliminary to trial,
dismissed the action as frivolous and
vexatious. shall be greatly surprised
if Cave does not go mad.

THE MILKY WAY.
Over the Milky Way,

Over the Milky Way,
The ancient Hindoos said,
Unseen by light of day,
I To Swarga go tho dead.
Along its cleaning reach,
Between tn ethereal poles,
When Yama calls them, each
Nlust tread the Bridge of Souls,
Over the Milky Way, Z.
Sang Grecian poets old,
Once, driven far astray,
The Suns red chariot rolled;
And each Olympian god
That samo wild path above
With winged sandals trod
Up to tho throne of Jove.
Over tho Milky Way,
The Mortimer tell with pride,
AS ray meets answering ray
Sulahmid met his bride.
Lonely in heaven afar,
Ills loves resistless might
Built out, with star on star,
That viaduct of light.
Over tho Milky Way,
Our later fancy runs
With Sciences self Mt play
Among its maze of suns,
Where reason can divine.
AS sages wisely guess.
Those thicker orbs outline
The cosmic wilderness.
Remoteness infinite,
Where sight its course may urge,
Where thought may fearless fit,
And touch creations verge!
But swifter faith o'crleaps
The fairness OF the spheres
70 where Gods splendor sweeps
Thro' nll tn eternal years.
His love yon pathway high
Built to life's summit land,
And bnde this emblem sky
Tell us, who longing stand,
as stars in countless sum
Ono stream of light prolonE
There joys so frequent come
They make ono nll-day song.
All, not in vain for hope,
And not in vain for me.
That lane up heavens blue cope
Trails its white ncbuln;
/ see the same eyes glow
That looked where jacob lay,
And tho samc glnd wings go
Over the Milky Way.
