In the days of Gen. Sam Houston

he sent n challenge to Houston. The
bearer of the. challenge was received
with courtly civility. He handed the
written challenge to Gen. Houston, who
read it, and taking up his pen wrote

The United States publishes E great
many books, but it is not generally
known that among them is cook book
And it is not &c the benefit of the white
house, either. There is q white house
cook book, but it is published privately,
and is as big as the family Bible. Tie
United States cook book is q small oac,
enlarged slightly, however, in the re-
vised edition, which, according to the
Pittsburgh Times, will be out shortly.
1t is for the benefit of the army, and in
two sections, the first containing ruses
for the cooks at the posts and stations,
and the second for cooks in the field.
The latter are not hard and fast, of
course, but suggt stions, rather. and are
the results of actual experience in that
line of duty. 1t is said that the book
will be of great value To the army, and il
the rules are obeyed that can well be
believed. for the army cook left TO his
unassisred intellect does not rank with
the chefs. The copy for the new edition
has been carefully and conscientiously
scrutinized by the secretary of war,who
is understood TO be an excellent judge
of cooking. and it is probable that ne
has added some useful suggestions.
The women show very little interest or
dinarily in the publications of the
United States government, but it is safe
TO say that they would take pleasure in
nerusin0 this cook book.

shoddy Manufacture.

Shoddy manufacture, according TO the
improved system Of production now in
vogue, is said to include only such mate
rails as soft wooden and worsted rags, par
ticularly the clippings from tailor shops,
on account Of their clearness and softneSs,
an essential point, however, being tn II
they be fulled but little, as the less they
have been felted and matted the less grind
ing is required to separate the fiber. In
addition to these clippings such stock as
cast away wooden knit garments and stock
ings which have been but moderately full
ed are acceptable material. Cleaning and
oiling, as may be necessary, having been
resorted to, the material is subjected TO
the grinding operation, accomplished by
means Of a system Of powerful steel point
ed cylinders and rollers. The substances
to be ground are fed onto table or feed
sheet and conveyed to two fiuted rollers,
on emerging from which they are vigor-
ously seized by the rapidly revolving teeth
of the main cylinder, the latter containing
about 500 strong, sharp steel teeth, turn
ing at the rate Of sometimes $50 revolu-
tons per minute. This high speed results
in tearing the rags apart and separating
the threads and fiber in such a manner,
says The Tradesman, that the whole is
finally reduced to a soft, woolly condition.

Il Part OF Kansas.
In the Missouri river, near Leaven-
worth. there is an island which has
furnished the land law officers Of the
government novel problem. This is
land was on the Missouri side when il
was SUI veyed in 1858. Now it is a le-
gal part Of Kansas. But that is not the
queer thing about it. Islands in the
Missouri frequently shift their ale
glance.
The trouble with this island is that il
has been growing. When the govern
ment officers surveyed it. they found
500 acres. and that was the amount en-
tered in the records. When two Leav-
enworth men, Skillings and Diffen-
dorf, took out patents for the whole is
land the amount of land put in the pat
ents was 500 acres. But the island has
been growing through all Of these years
in a way Missouri river islands have a
fashion of doing. There are now !, 400
acres in the island. A coalbed, it has
been discovered. runs under the island,
and that tends to make the land more
valuable.
Recently squatters have tried to take
possession Of the surplus over and above
the 500 acres claimed by the patentees.
The later set up a claim to the growth.
The land lawyers of the government,
after taking plenty of time to think
about the case, have decided that Skill
lings and Diffendorf are entitled to the
whole island under their original pat
ents.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
