the heads of several slaughtered cattle. In
the dry atmosphere of that latitude meat

to the fierce pangs of hunger of the two
dogs,

Meat boiled quickly is always hard and
tasteless, and it should be remembered
that "A very large quantity of water takes
the goodness out of the meat \ saucepan
only sufficiently large to hold the joint
easily should be used, and just cover the
meat with water. The time for boiling
should be from quarter Of an hour to y

shepherd in the state of Durango, has
suddenly become IL rich man. He was
herding flock of sheep on the ranch
of Julio Flore. when he discovered q

4 Curious Trance,

A strange case is reported from Day
ton, Ohio, where plumber, named
Thomas Purdy, has been in IL sort of
trance for week past. Every part of
his body is stiff and immoyable rs
though in the rigor of death, except
his face, of which the muscles betray
a slight mobility. He was engaged IN
digging sewer trench when lie was
stricken, and he had stood there as
though transtixed for three l.ours when
found. shovel iu hand, with statuesque
stiffness, as if on guard, and it requir-
ed the combined efforts Of four big po-
lice officers 10 release his grip. He
has been as stiff as Il poker since then,
and shows signs Of great anguisl, when
approached. The case has puzzled
the doctors, who think he is conscious
of his surroundings, but fears a prema-
ture burial His condition will most
certainly conduce to insanity.

plates doing at an early day because

When Mr.. Wilson was defeated for re-
election to the House, tho President
offered him the Chiian mission, but
he declined on the ground that he
preferred to remain at home. The
distinguished West Virginian deserves
to be rewarded with justiceship of
