ABOUT COOKING MEATS,

The orthodox rule for the cooking OF
meat, fish and fowl is to allow q quarter
of an hour to every pound; yet this re-
cipe needs to be mixed with brains.
Some families like rare, others well-done
meats; again, joint may be unusually
thick or remarkably thin. Again, full
grown and mature meats, such as beef
and mutton, are best with the red gravy
oozing from them; while immature, or
white meats, such as lamb, veal, pork,
etc., are absolutely dangerous unless
done through to the bone. A good rule
is to allow twelve to fifteen minutes, ac-
cording to the taste of the family and
the thickness of the joint, for the cook
ing of every pound of beef and mutton;
fifteen to eighteen minutes for the cook.
ing of every pound OF pork, veal, lamb,
ham, bacon, fish and every kind of
fowl.
Accidents happen, however. The
oven may be tco hot or too cool, the fire
too slow and--what not. So a cook
should learn to know by the appearance
of the meat itself when it is sufficiently
cooked. How can this be done2 By
carefully observing the appearance of the
meat around the centre bone or bones.
If the learner be in doubt, the blade OF a
knife can be run in about half an inch
| at the bone, and the meat slightly raised
and carefully examined for a moment OF
two. After one OF two trials this will
| be found to be an infallible method. It
is quite right that next to the bone beel
and mutton should be red and juicy, but
if the beef be blue or the mutton has
that strange raw look peculiar to mutton
that has just felt the heat of the fire, the
| joint needs little more cooking5 while
meats should be white, even to the bone,
with the exception, perhaps, of lamb,
which many people prefer with little
| pinky juice oozing through.
Fish-Fish is not eatable till the flesh
separates easily from the bones. BY
running knife in little way, say un-
der the fms, so as not to spoil the ap-
pearance of the fish, this can be judged
of.
Chops, Steaks OF Cutlets-An inch
thick mutton chops or steak, put over
clear fire on a piping hot gridiron, gen
orally takes about ten minutes to cook
pork chops and veal outlets little longe
but the rule of finding out whether they
are cooked or not by examining the bon'
also holds for them.
Turkeys, Chicken and Fowl OF al
Kinds-Look between the leg and thI
body of the fowl, and # necessary, sill
the skin little with a sharp knife, and
if the flesh there be still raw looking th'
bird is not cooked enough.
Salt Mests-Salt meats are not 81
easily tested as fresh meats, yet eveI
here look at the bone. Beware of al
lowing the meat to cook so long that
raises itself from the bones, as it were
for then it is what is graphically know
as being "done to rags. New Yor
Recorder.

In an attempt to defend the moderate use
of alcoholic stimulants prominent English
physician readily indicts it, for he says:
mix all liquors with food which shields the
tissues from its contact and aids its safe dis
persion throu gh the circulation"
Neal Dow, of Maine, now lightweight
years of age, has watched the operation of
the Maine law for forty years, and he testi-
ties that three-fourths of the territory of
the State is free from the taint of liquor, and
that the people of Maine save yearly more
than twenty-four millions of dollars which
would otherwise have been expended in
drink.
Since early spring the hospitals of the west

THE COW STALL.

The COW stall is having much atten.
ton and ingenuity lavished upon it, but
the horse worries along with the most
Objectionable kind of Imprisonment in
the narrow quarters where he is fastened
in painful manner. A few days ago a
stable was burned, and valuable horse
was slowly roasted to death, because
held by a chain that could not be
loosened or cut. Imprisonment in chains
is a refinement of cruelty awarded to
pirates and the most atrocious crimi mails /;
and this because of the extreme tor ment
of it. 1t breaks the heart Of sagacioas
horse and is the cause of those unavail-
ing protests, the constant kicki ng and
pawing-eloquent remonstrauoe against
the cruelty.-Chicago Sun.

DRUNKEN WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

There is a marked increase in drunkenness
among women in England. DIR Norman
Kerr, President of the Society for the Study
of Inebriety, declares that never within his
recollection had he seen so many drunken
women about the streets of London as dur
ing the Whitsuntide holidays. He had fire..
quently seen groups of four or five, some
quite young, ali in more or less intoxicated
condition. One of the coroners of London
asserts that he has held of late an increas-
ingly large number of inquests upon women,
many comparatively young, whose deaths
were clearly due to alcholic excess, A meG-
ical committee is now sitting in London to
devise more effectual means of dealing with
drunkards than treating them as criminals.
Sending them repeatedly to prison has no
reformatory effect. A case is cited of wo-
man who recently died in Marylebone work
house, at the age OF forty-eight who had
been convicted OF drunkenness 200 times.
1t is proposed to put chronic cases under
compulsory detention, and to treat drunk
ennt IS as disease rather than vice. Spec
ial provision will be made for those who
are not able to pay for treatment and main
tenance.-Picayune.

CUTTING oFF TIE BLOOMS.

The old fancy that cutting off the
blooms of potatoes will increase the
weight and quality of the tubers seems
to have broken out afresh, but careful
experiments made in England and Swift
zerland disprove this. The theory was
given to the world by a German ex.
perimenter, who published the results of
q series of experiments which showed
that a considerable gain in the weight
and quality of the tubers resulted in
cutting off the blooms.
An account of a series of experim ents
made by an intelligent Englishnan seem
to be so thorough that il is worth while
to give his results. His experiments ex.
tended over a period of three seasons,
with but one variety, Paterson's Vic.
toria potaso, profuse bloomer, and at
that time in general cultivation in Eng
land. In no single year was there any
difference in the quality and weight Of
the potato, and the average results
showed that there was no gain derivable
from this operation.
Thorough experiments were made in
oWltLetlauu 10 test the truth OF Inls
theory. The many varieties of potatoes
grown in that country we're subjected to
the experiment. The test was carried
through several seasons in order to make
the result more accurate. At the close
of the experiments the conclusion
reached did not corroborate the theory
advanced by the German experimenter
The Englishman, after reviewing the
experiments made in Switzerland ant
those by himself, draws this conclusion
"This system, therefore, is of no use t.
us while we have our present varieties o
potatoes, no matter what it may be else
where, and if properly tested it will il
all probabilities be found TO be of little
value anywhere. American Farmer.

ALCOHOL AND AropLrxY.

DR.. Andrew Wilson, in a recent paper, as
serts that apoplexy sis an ailment liable
especially to affect drunkards, for in them
the blood vessels are weakened by alcohol,
and rendered more liable TO rupture"
"See that no stimulants are given TO the
patient" continues the doctor "rhis is
very important IL you give brandy or
whisky to an apoplectic man, you may kill
him. The heart has to be kept quiet. You
don't want an increased supply of blood to
go to the brain. and you will send it addi-
tionally fast il you give stimulants."

IN THE HOSPITAL.
In a clean, cool ward, though the day was
hot
A crippled child lay in his cot;
The fever ragged in his shrunken hands
And his temples throbbed meath the linen
bands.
The white-capped nurse was standing by,
When the kind.faced doctor with sigh
Said, "Tim, my hero how do you dog'
Said Tim, "rm weak, sir, how are your

"His end is near, it is better so.n
Poor Tim called out through the shadows

The hymn was sung, prayer was said,
And the little hero, so brave, was dead;
But not before, while his eyes waxed bright,
He had said "Good-bye, poor Tins ali

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
SOAP MAKING.

The following Is good recipe for
making soap: To one pound Of potash
add three gallons of water until 1T is
dissolved; then add three pounds Of any
kind of soap grease, the cleaner the bet
ter, to the lye, and set it to boiling. Let
II boil slowly so that it will not boil
over. II usually becomes soap after
boiling from one to five hours. II it
boils down before il becomes sap, add
sufficient water to keep the same guam
tity in the kettle until it is soap; then
add nine gallons of water and stir we'll
together; when cool, this will be beau"
tiful white soap if the grease was clean.

aAL1owAY ANp ANaus cArrLE.

There is considerable difference be.
tween Galloway and Angus cattle,
although both are black and ho1nless.
The former belong to the west coast OF
Scotland, the latter to the east coast and
the neighborhood of the city of Aber-
deen, whence they are called sometimes
Aberdeen or Aberdeen-Augus cattle.
These are finer in form and HAIR than
the Galloways, which have long, silky
hair and a stouter build. Both are good
beeves, but the Angus are the better
mixers and give exceedingly rich milk.

SOWING RYE.

Rye is a crop easily raised and is sub
ject to fewer casualties than wheat and
grows freely on soils that will not
produce remunerative crops of other
grains. 1t may often be proftably sown
in the fall on light soils as kind OF
supplementary crop which may be used
for winter pasture when the ground is
frozen, and also be cut for solling in
early spring, when the green stubble
can be turned under as a fertilizer for a
coming crop. On ground we'll adapted
to the culture of the sweet potato rye is
an excellent crop to precede it, and,
whether pastured or cut for soiling, the
remains of the rye when plowed under
will be of considerable benefit to the
root crop. Then, if equal care is taken
to turn under the sweet potato vines
after the harvesting, successive crops
may be raised with but little fertilizing
material other than what is furnished by
the rye and the potato vines. The
latter contain much fertilizing matter,
which, if all saved, will go good ways
toward making up for what is carried off
in the tubers. The trouble in such cases
often is that the rye is so promising in
its appearance in the spring that the in
ducement to keep it few weeks longer
for the grain and straw is too strong to
permit of its being plowed under for
green manure. While the amount of
fertility derived from the green rye
would not be large, the cost of the seed
would be small, and the seeding would
be done at a time when farm work is
not pressing. 1t would therefore seem
that such use of land at a season when
it would otherwise be unemployed might
often be advisable.--N York World.

with which the Democratic party got on
both sides of the question. This bill
would enable the wealthy class to pay
laborers 20 cents worth of silver for a
dollars worth of toll. The majority re-
port showed conclusively that the pur-
pose of the trainers of the bill was to
place this country on q silver basis, and
let it stand side by side with India,
Mexico and China.
Hopkins of Illinois said the remor Ell
zation OF silver would benefit only two
classes, the rich silver mine owners and
bullion holders and spectators. Dur
ing the last session it was demonstrated
that syndicate of these mine owners
had established a literary bureau in
Washington and sought to create senti
ment in favor of silver. One of their
stock OF arguments was that more money
was needed for business, and owing to
poor crops this argument found ready
believers in the west. In 1860 we had
Sl5 per capita OF money, and everyone
would admit that was a prospe rous busi-
ness year. Since then there has been a
great increase in the circulating medium
until we had more money per capita
than England. France was pointed to
as country with more money per
capita, but France had no such banking
facilities as ours. We should take heed
Of the Argentine Republic.
hopkins protested against the bill as

Compton OF MARYLAND offered an
amendment to the bill to restrict the
free coinage Of silver to that produced
IN the United States.
Epes of Virginia supported the bill.
He asserted that there had been long
series Of oppressive financial acts of
which the worst was the decentralization
OF silver at the instance of foreign
money lenders and American million
aires. These men were crushing the
life out of the rank and file of the
country.

StyloCraphic Ink.

Not every one knows the difference
between stylographic ink and ordinary
black ink. The stylographic ink is
strained, so that all the minute particles
which are found in ordinary ink are re-
moved and it will flow freely through
the point of the pen in which it is used
This process of straining also renders it
valuable in households where careless
people are likely to spill ink, and where
children go away to school in white
aprons, too often returning from their
writing lessons ink begrimed. Stylo-
graphic ink will wash out without diff
Guilty in clear cold water. 1t is the mi
mute particles of matter in unstrained
ink which become clogged in the fiber
of cloth and which render a stain from
it practically indelible.
There are great many kinds of stylo-
graphic ink, but we believe they all pos
sess this excellent quality of washing
out if taken care of at once. Certainly
the first bleaching will bring out all
remnants of the stain in white goods. -.

limitations OF the Einsl Tower.

The great success of the Eiffel tower,
both financially and otherwise, has led to
host Of imitators. The Watkin tower,
1900 feet high, is being designed by Sir
Benjamin Baker, and it is to be erected
at Wembley park, near Willesden, the
foundation being nearly completed. The
cost is estimated at e200, ,0C0, of which
10000 has been subscribed privately.
The Blackpool tower has been designed
by Messrs. Maxwell 81 luke, and the
contract has been let to Messrs. Heenan
& Froude for G40, 800, the total weight
of the structure being 1,500 tons. 1t will
be between 400 feet and 500 feet high.
The Isle of Man tower at Douglas is
now well advanced and does not i'm
prove in appearance as the work pro
ceeds. The Brighton tower has not yet
been started, and the plans are not def
nitely decided. The Columbian tower
at Chicago, designed by Mr. G. S. Mori-
son, is to be 1870 feet high from the
bottom of the foundation to the top OF
the flagstaff. 1t has profile very SINH
lar to the Eiffel tower, but the construc-
ton is entirely different The total
weight of the structure alone is 1000
tons; of the floors and staircases, 1900
tons; live load, 1900 tons, making a to-
tal of 900 tons-London Industries.

used as hospital for wounded soldiers
after the battle of Germantown. The
red brick tiles of the roof, which were
imported from Holland, have all disap-

standing. The more modern structure
which was built adjoining about the
commencement of this century, is still
standing in good state of preservation
and is at present occupied. Philadel-
