DRESSING POULTRY.
How to secure the Best Prices in the
City harkets

City harkets
There are two ways Of dressing poul-
try for marhet-dry picked and scalded
says Poultry Yard Fowls dressed in
the former way in all cases bring the
highest prices. 1t should be the aim
of every farmer in disposing of his
poultry to ship it in as good condition
as possible, in order to catch the eye Of
the butcher, or grocer, and secure a
ready sale. Greater skill is required to
dry pick poultry than most people i'm
agine, in order that the bird may
look plump and handsome. To do this
work properly, or with any degree of
satisfaction, the fowl should be plucked
when warm-that is, Immediately after
it is kiiled-as if allowed to get cold
before stripping the feathers. you are
very apt to tear the flesh.
Commence first by plucking the wing
and tail feathers, then the back, from
head TO tail. Pluck the feathers from
the "craw'' erossways; stomach end
breast feathers should be plucked
downward-that is, from the legs to
the head
In dressing poultry by this method,
you get a double advantage of those
dressed by the hot water process. as
you can save all the feathers, being
careful to keep separate the tail and
wing feathers and where many are
dressed, the sale of feathers amounts
to quite an item of profit
pressing poultry by the scalding
process is by no means a coed and
profitable one, as it depreciates the
value of the birds, they look anything
but dainty, and, do whatyo viii, they
will never look enticing to the buyer;
moreover you Sc the value of the
feathers.

A Japanese Dinner.

A grand dinner party in Japan is a
very formidable thing indeed. Accord
ing to Sir Edwin Arnold the guests are
surrounded by twenty or thirty dishes,
of which you may partake as often
as you please, and just when you please.
You may leave off and chat, he says,
and begin at the beginning again if you
like Even after everyone has had
enough, the substantial part of the
meal only commences-for the Jap
anese. The wine is removed and a big
white tub is brought in filed with hot,
boiled rice. Along with it fresh tea ar
rives once more, and then each native
guest will eat two bowlso rice and then
another soaked with tea. 1t IS hard to
see just where the enjoyment comes in.

AN INDEPENDENT PRINCESS.
Tho Way Her Mother Acted Was Good
Enough for Her.

Tho Way Her Mother Acted Was Good
Enough for Her.
When the present dowager empress
of Germany first arrived in Berlin, says
the Boston Beacon, the stiff and
starched old dowagers of the Prussian
court took great offense because the
wife of their future sovereign insisted
upon not calling upon her lady in wait
ing to perform any little service for her,
such as picking mp her gloves or hand
kerehief if she let them fall, or bring
ing her a book from a shelf or table at
the other side of the room.
The princess royal Of England had
never been accustomed to such total in
action, and she did not see why she
should be compelled to practice it when
she became crown princess of Prussia.
Finally she brought down on her head
a sharp remonstrance from some
naughty old countess who discovered
her in the act of carrying a chair across
her drawing room.
"Highness," quoth the severe old
dame, 'the future queen of Prussia
never does such things as that"
The princess set down the chair and
looaed the speaker full in the eyes.
My mother, the queen regent of
Great Britain, waits upon herself al
ways" replied the princess, ''an6 what
she is accustomed to do the crown
princess of Prussia may certainly inn
itate without derogation to her dignity"

Now nobody ever makes a boast of
being conceited, or stupid, or untruth
full, but, on the contrary, you could not
insult friend more surely than by ac-
cusing him of possessing any Of those
traits. Yet nine out Of ten persons are
rather complimented by having their
acquaintance declare that they have
noticed their quickness Of temper.
The reason possibly is this: quick
tempered and hasty people are
often very generous and kind
hearted lmpusive in anger, they
are also impetuous in their desire to
give pleasure So the two opposite
qualities become confused in our minds,
and in many cases when we are prais-
ing the quicker temper we are really
thinking of the generosity Of heart.
am very sure, however, that on re-
Election we all admire more the self
control which represses hasty words,
than the ill-temper which blurts them
out with no regard to the feelings Of
others.

A Strange San Francisco Tale.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16-Dectective
Woods of Denver is here, claiming that he
mas been employed by the friends of DIR.
Graves. He says he has thirty afiidavits
from people in this city, showing that
Mrs. Barnaby was not poisoned by Dr.
Graves. Detective Woods further says
that he has discovered that strychnine
was purchased here ostensibly for Mrs
Barnaby, the purchaser stating that it was
wanted to poison rats. AS Mrs. Barnaby
boarded at hotels all the time she was
here, it is not probable she would use
strychnine for such purpose. The de-
tective claims that he knows who pur-
chased this poison.
Another affidavit is from a servant at
Arrow Head Springs Hotel, San Bernardo
no county, where Mrs. Barnaby stopped.
IL is claimed that this servant heard a
woman, who has figured very prominent
ly in the case, say that she wished Mrs.
Barnaby would die; that she was great
trouble To her, and that the only reason
she stayed with her was the hope that
Mrs. Barnaby would leave her some
money in her will.

VIII Come to Providence--He VIII Re-
main Here Until spring-The Case Not
Half Done.

"A NEWS representative called at the
Narragansett this morning and found
John ii. Conrad, who arrived in the city
last evening, standing beside the desk in
the Office.
The Montara man was apparently in
good health and is very robust fellow.
He said that only just gotten up and had
breakfast and had met no one. In regard
to the Graves verdict he said that 1t was
not TO be questioned at all. If the case
went to the supreme court it would be
only on the question of whether there
were errors in Judge Rising's rulings. OF
the correctness Of those rulings he felt
that there was no doubt, as Judge Rising
was one of the ablest judges In the West.
AS 10 the evidence, Mr.. Conrad said il
was all he needed To satisfy himself of
DIR. Graves guilt. People, he said, had a
wrong impression of the action of the Su-
preme Court. That court could not inter
fere with the verdict but could only order
a new trial on the ground of improper
rulings.
Mr. conrad stated that he expected TO
remain in the East until spring and added.
. 1t has been long and tedious trial and
il isn't half over vet. There are other
people mixed up in the affair who have got
to pay the penalty before it is done"
'Isuppose then, Mr.. Conrad, that you
have definite evidence against some per-
sons" said the reporter.
Yes, sir: man ought to have who
makes as strong "a statement as the one /
just made, ough'nt he," was the reply.
He would not. however, say anything
more on that particular point. Continu-
ing, he said that District Attorney Stew
ems would be in this city sometime next
week and Lawyer Lafe Pence the Goth.
"Did you state that they came Tor pleas
ure ?" asked the reporter.
"Well, / was asked that" replied Mr..
Conrad with a slight hesitancy of man
ner. II think i have said enough to ex-
plain that.n
"Will your family come to Providence, I"
asked the reporter.
''perhaps they may come later" he re-
piled.
as there anything new about the will
contest that you know of ?" was asked.
''No, as have said that Is In the hands
of Col: Van Slyck. l have not seen him
since / arrived -
The hotel clerk came up and handed
Mr. Conrad great roll of bills from the
bank, which the latter counted very delib-
erately and put in his pocket, and at this
point the interview terminated, and Mr.
Conrad went to his room, after cordially
inviting the reporter TO call on him when
ever there was anything he wanted to ask
him. The Montana man is one whom
any person would notice in crowd or
alone, from his great size and very non
cha,ant air. He has very quiet, smooth
voice for big man and is a very pleasant
man TO talk with.

LONDON, Jan. 16.--The delay in fixing
the date of the funeral of the Duke of
Clarence and Avondale is embarrassing
the lord chamberlains department 1t
will probably take place on Thursday. but
a difficulty has arisen between the Prince
of Wales who desires private funeral at
Sandringham and the Queen who wishes
her grandson TO be buried at Frogmore.
The Queen is expected TO carry her point
and, according TO the present program,
the body will pass through London on its
way TO Windsor, the procession passing
from the Eastern railway station down
Bishopsgate street 60 Cornhill, past the
Mansion House and Exchange and through
Cheapside.
The body will then be conveyed past St
Paul's churchyard, down Ludgate Hill TO
Ludgate Circus Then the procession will
enter Fleet street, and pass up the Strand
To CharinR Cross, through Trafalgar
square TO Waterloo place.
From that spot the funeral procession
will pass into Regents street TO Oxford
Circus, along Oxford street to the Edge
ware road aud through that thoroughfare
TO the Great Western railroad station at
Padington, en- route TO Frogmore. The
body will probably be entombed by the
side of the remains of the Duke of Albany.
The nobility and gentry are putting on
full mourning, as well as nearly all trades
people, who indeed have best reason, SO
that the aspect of London is as dreary rs
could easily be imagined.
The report that the queen IS very seri-
ously i'll Is gaining wider and wider cir
culation.
Mr.. Gladstone wishes TO return from
the south Of France to attend the funeral,
but his friends fear the results of such "a
journey in winter weather, and have tele-
graphed him not to come.

No one thinks that harsh measures of any

jority of the Senate is large enough To
have its way on any legislation, and il
could not afford to act in such way as To
