The Psseeeh 2, the Feast.

Brehm informs us that the flesh of the young peacock Is very delicate and has "a wild odorn which is very agreeable. He thinks an old bird fit only for stewing. The Greeks must have found it marvellous costly feed ing if 1t be true, as lillian says, that single bird was worth thousand drachmas-nearly S60. The esteem in which it was held in the last days of the Roman republic did not dimin- ish under the imperial regime.
 Vitellius and Heliogabalus served up to to their boon companions enor- nous dishes of peacocks' tongues and brains, seasoned with the rarest In- dian spices. In medieval days it was still held in favor, particularly as a Christmas dish, and minstrels sang of it as flood for lovers and meat for lords"
 To fit it for the table was no ordi- nary culinary operation. After the skin and plumage had been carefully stripped of the bird was roasted, then served up again in its feathers, with gilded beak No, I have forgot ten that it was first stuffed with spices and sweet herbs and pasted with yolk of egg.

IL Is Purely Imaginary.

"ln conversation with several fire men it was ascertained that the Prescott admirers of the boys are disposed to put up big purse on their team as against any team Albuquerque may present, the mem bers ot the team being recognized as bona fde citizens. 1t is further understood that in case a contest is entered into, that the meeting take place on neutral ground at any date hereafter to be named. Your cor respondent suggests Winslow as a central point between Albuquerque and Prescott, where they keep a track in good order. Were it possi- ble, the Fourth of July would be a good date, as that place has a big celebration on hand, ,"-Correspon- dence Albuquerque Citizen. The above is romance pure and simple. The Prescott fremen have no inten- ton whatever of again racing with an Albuquerque team, and citizens of Prescott, who have been liberal heretofore in paying the expenss s of the team to Albuquerque, on three different oocassions, would not now pay the expenses of one m. n to Winslow to run a race.

It Is all very well to use the best parlor, the best furniture, the best china Ceven if you do not mind hav- Ing 1t broken). for the home folks. but prudence will suggest that you draw the line at the best tablecloth. No matter if your best" is poor enough as to quality, and but little better, if any, than that in daily use, you may stiu keep it free from stains and always ready for state occasions by only using it on such oc- sasions. During many, many years of housekeeping l have never found t anything but a tragedy when the best cloth and napkins must be re- placed. But even where the house keeping funds are limited 1t is possi- ble to have laid away fine cloth, with a pretty carving cloth and cen terpiece, which you will use only for guests.
 If the cloth is too soiled for anoth- CT company's entertainment, let 1t be laundered at once, but do not hatter yourself that you can use it for one or more home dinners first. That way come stain and soilure perhaps beyond the power of the laundress to remove. When my husband at a home dinner burned hole in my best cloth with his postprandial ci- gar, found that this was bad policy. Wash the embroidered pieces your self, using suds of ivory soap; rinse in clear lukewarm water, hang up and press before they redry. and the embroidery, if done with wash silks, will positively not fade.-New York Advertiser.

Williams Hunting care.

When the German emperor goes hunting, he arrays himself in such gorgeousness that the game ought to be proud to fall before so magnificent a conqueror. His hunting costume was designed by himself, and he is said to be so much taken with it that he omits no opportunity of wearing it. It consists of a bluish gray tunic, with short cloak of the same ma terial, both garments having green facings and broad epaulets. Tho emperor has round his waist broad belt of green leather, from which hangs a huge hunting knife, the handle mounted with the imperial crown of gold. He wears very high lacquered boots, gold spurs and a Ty- rolese hat of gray felt, edged with green and adorned with an enormous plume of feathers, which quivers at every step.-Berlin Correspondent.

He wasn,t shorInr.

A frenzied officer was trying to keep the crowd back from a horse that had fallen on Main street, and to add to his drowning appearance he howled out to the crowd in a gen. eral way, 'Fn break your head if come back there for showing that wayl"
 T ain't showing, and you know it. so don't get fresh, came wee voice.
 It emanated from the smallest bit of humanity in the mob, a 6-year-old youngster who felt he had been un. duly accused of exerting his strength to crowd the policeman. The laugh that followed the expression was joined in by the good natured officer himself. Buffalo Express.

AN AERIAL TRIP,
Two Pigs and a Gooae Carried Two
 Hundred Miles by Cyclone.

Two Pigs and a Goose Carried Two
 Hundred Miles by cyelone.
 ELLwooD, Ind, May 20.-During the heavy cyclone the other day two hogs and fat goose belonging to Sam Wainscott, were blown from his barnyard in Peoria, III. These very pigs and the companion goose are now in the barnyard of T. J. Hancock, near this city, where they were dropped by the cyclone which swept over this city at that time.
 1t was about two o'clock in the morning when Hancock was aroused from his sleep by the storm. He went out into the harnyard to look after his stock, and his attention was attracted to the clouds, in which he saw, during a lightning flash, the pigs and goose. Suddenly they dropped to the ground in his yard, and the next morning they were as lively as usual, having sui fered only slightly during their per llous trip of 207 miles through the ar.
 MT. Hancock wrote to MT, Vain scott, asking for description of the missing pigs and goose, and it tai lies exactly with that of the animals Tn Mir. Hancock's possession.

 John A. Webb and his brother are at work developing the Shylock claim, on the western slope of the Black Hills. It is located near Sanders Station. They have shaft on the claim 270 feet deep, and about 300 feet of drifts run in the mine.

Living In Italy.

One great advantage of living in Italy lies in the fact that there is far less work in the kitchen on account of charcoal being used instead of coal. These fires brighten up in a moment, causing neither dust nor smoke, and as they are lighted just when they are required for cooking and then allowed to go out this ar rangement obviates the necessity of keeping up roaring fire all day long. Three francs week is suffi- cient to spend on charcoal. The dustman comes every day to remove the refuse, and 1t is customary to give him 3 or pence at the end of the week It is a golden rule when housekeeping in Italy to keep as few servants as possible; other wise gossip instead of work is the or der of the day, and as their voices are all pitched in 8 high key the noise is considerable. With regard to washing, it is generally sent out unless a number of servants are kept. The ironing, however, is al ways done in the house. .-Pittsbufg Dispatch.

ExEMPTToN GOES.
Chief Justice Baker Decides That The

Chief Justice Baker Decides That The
 Acts of 1891 and 1898 are Valid
 Yesterday morning a decision was reached by Chief Justice Baker on the demurrer of the board of equali- ration to the petition of Yavapai county, asking for a mandamus that would compel taxation of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phenix Railroad. The demurrer was argued last Tues day, as heretofore reported in the Gazette. In his decision sustaining the demurrer, Judge Baker holds that it IS not sufficient for Yayapai county to set up the general tax law and ask that the railroad be subjected thereto, unless the latter could show that it came within the provisions of some exemption laws subsequently, passed. It devolves upon the petitioning county to set forth the exemption laws, aud
 allure on the railroads part to comply herewith. Permission was given Yavapai county to amend the petition, and cite the exemption laws of 1891 and 1893. But Judge Baker stated that even then he would sustain those laws and the action of the board of equalization in exempting the north and south railroad hereunder. Such action was within the discretionary author ity of the board, and therefore no. subject to review by the courts. Unless this position can be over thrown by the supreme court on appeal, new railroads, built under the laws of 1891 and 1893, will be free from tax during the twenty years therein specified. - Phenix Gazette.

 Slimness.
 The hygienic craze has peuneated society to quite an incrediblS extent It has become almost a point oS hon or with us all to be slim. 1 have thought the whole matter out, and having watched the various patients of t,-o two great doctors who have male corpulence their special stndy I have come to the conclusion that you must in this case, as in all oth- CTS. make your choice between two evils. It is a question now of face CT figure.
 That the very stoutest people can decrease their size by following strict dietetic rules cannot be doubted, since a duke has lost 17 inches of girth and a lady lost two or three stones in weight in two CT three months But I am sure of one thing-I am sure it ages the patient, and I would recom- mend any comedy lady of middle age and fair proportions to leave the cure alone. 1t is only young people just beginning to grow stout who really benefit by it If the stretched akin is no longer filled out, it must fan into wrinkles, and these are a1streas- ingly ugly. Shall give you the diet, which nearly every body has tried e is trying now, and which both the great doctors recommend with vari, ationsG Here it is, copied from diet card:
 sA m--sip thFss-euArters of plns sf hot water.
 e8-Two cups of tea with nothing so i., un- lass saecharin; one 0ancs of dFy to&sR e.Eht ounces of lean meat or hsh.
 u-SiDa tumblsr of bot water.
 lseo-Ten ounces of lean meat or eows CT game: six ounces of stewed fruit.
 ts0-Tee as at hreakfAst and one or two spe- cial bisouits-
 SD. m.-FouF ounces boiled nzaa; foug to six ounces of lean meat; six ounces of stsWed frufk
 And you may have brandy or whisky and soda when you go to bed At lunch or dinner you may have any vegetables that grow above the ground = not roots -- and you may drink brandy or whisky or dry Mo selle, as advised. One doctor recom- mends particular Moselles. one doc tor recommends particular biscuit, and if one doctor Is more fashion able because he numbers royalties among his patients the other charges only instead of 25 guineas. Both allow you to drink at mealtimes, which is something of a conces- sion. I have heard many peO- pie say that not to drink at meal times IS in itself cure for stoutness. Several people. among them a very pretty, smart woman-she is a well l known countess-raye about the lady | doctor in Grosvenor street and de- clare that their faces as well as their figures have been improved by sys- tenn of electrical massage, Every body recommends exercise, and it is wonderful to see how many people do walk nowadays.-London World.

 The plank in reference to silver coinage was good enough, but has never been carried out. It made a great noise about doing something, when it repealed the Sherman law but by no means redeemed its pledges by providing for the coinage of silver instead of its purchase.

DEMOCRATS ON FREE COINAGE

Whereas, the Constitution of the
 United States provides that Con- gress shall have power to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coins, and also pro vides that no state shall coin money or make anything but gold and sil- yer coin legal tender Tn payment of debts, we declare it to be a duty enjoined upon Congress by the Constitution to coin both gold and silver money for the use of the peo- pie of the states; that Congress has no rightful power to refuse the coinage of either metal"
 The above IS taken from the plat form of the Missouri state demo cratic convention. It is a declara- ton of principles that will meet with the hearty approval of repub- licans, democrats and populists alike. It is the self same platform adopted by the JOURNAL. MINER long ago and upon which it has stood ever since, viz. thlt congress has no right under the constitution to re- fuse the coinage of silver.
 The provision of the constitution prohibiting states from making any thing but gold and silver a legal tender in the payment of debts, carries with it the implication that these metals, coined by the United States, shall be the money of the country and that neither shall be used to the exclusion of the other. The constitution says that congress shall have power to coin money It does not say that it shall have the power U coin gold into m oney and refuse to coin silver.
 Silver is recognized in the constitu- ton, as money, the same as gold, and the congress of the United States oyersteps the authority con- ferred upon it by that instrument when it undertakes to say that it shall not be recognized as such, and when it closes the hints of the United States against coinage.
 The only thing for congress to do to settle this question is to stick to the constitution, fix the values of gold and silver and open the hints
