Cold Weather Disasters.

The recent cold weather will be re-
the cause OF a great many disasters.
The Ohio became chokcd with ice be-
low Cincinnati, and dynamite was used
to open the channel. \ man who stole
ride on an Illinois express train was
found frozen solid when the train
stopped at Joliet. A snowslide oc-
CURED in the Montana mountains nea-
Great Falls which rivaled an Alpine
avalanche. Trees, rocks and snow
swept down the mountain. striking 4
snow-plow on the Northern Pacific
railway, and sweeping it, the locomo-
tive and train down the slope. -Four
men were killed. Out on the western
prairies severe cold weather and storms
are looked for every winter, On De
cember ) five men, Il m and 4 lit
tie girl started from Okeen, O. T, on a
journey of a hundred miles. in 4 north
west direction. The second day out
rain began to fall. After ten hours of
cold rainfall q snowstorm set in, and
for twelve hours the party could not
see ten yards ahead of them. The
kept falling until on the level it was
twelve inches deep, and piled up in
some places to twelve feet in
depth. The blizzard continued for two
days and nights, and when it ceased ali
trails were obliterated, and the sun
was obscured by heavy clouds, SO that
they lost their way on the prairie.
They travelled about for four days, hav-
ing 4 fire for only a short time. On the
evening of the fifth day the party
reached the 'black oak" country, in
Kansas, and for the first time went into
camp. On the following morning two
of the men started on horseback to find
a trail, and after riding eight hours
were successful. 1t was not more than
four miles from the camp, and revealed
the fact that they had crossed their
own track three times. At the end Of
the thirteenth day the party reached a
settlement, just in time to avoid starva-
ton. They were out of provisions and
feed for the horses, and their hands and
feet were badly frozen. Since the Win
ter of 1855 no such intensely cold
weather has been experienced in the
United Stairs.
s1uGOOism In the South.
Ehe southern negru still shows many
traces in character and disposition Of
his ancestors of the dark continent,
particularly in his strong faith in the
medicine men, of his own race. who

OF these quacks the most dangerous
are those who add something of the
white mans smartness to their own
native cunning. One Brutus Cesar, ar
rested in New Iberia, La, for prac-
ticing medicine without Il license, be-
came frightened and offered, in return
for clemency, to show the authorities

forty of these practitioners crowded
into the Jail within three days These
quacks reap a great harvest from the
ignorant negroes, especially from Ia
borers who flock into Louisiana during
the sugar-rolling season. The laborers
pay to the medicine men" a fee of a
few dollars in advance to insure free
treatment in case of sickness during
the season and protection from all man.

BOILED MEATS NOT BOILED.
Best Cooks Quickly .set" the Surface and
Then Only simmer.

AII5t SooHs HuAtAA % VIZ "TNA As--~ N@DN'
Then Only Simmer.
Boiling is a branch of culinary art
that is understood by comparatively
few cooks, although It s'generally
supposed to be the most simple form OF
cookery known.
Actual boiling as applied to meats
very rarely occurs, excepting for a few
minutes at d time, and then at the be-
ginning of cooking. When these few
minutes are over. the aim OF the expert
enced cook is to keep meats h a are to
be boiled from boiling. and to let them
simmer until done, for as surely as the
meat boils it will be spOilt. 4 good
rule for boiling is tie following:
Fresh meat. fresh poultry fresh fish,
all alike, should be plunged into rs
much boiling water as will co-er them.
Boil quickly three or four minutes in
the case of meat, ono minute in the
case of fish. then draw the kettle back,
add 4 little cold water to reduce the
heat. and keep it covered. and let the
contents simmer only until done.
The quick boiling ''sets" the surface
of the meat, which keeps in the flavor
and goodness, while the inner portion
is gently cooked until done: this is all
the boiling" needed.
When really boiled, fresh meat is
tough and favorless. so that to boil
meat ccessfully it should not be boiled
at all.
That fresh meat should invariably be
put into boiling water, and salt meat
into cold, is another rule worth remem
bering. Salt should always be added
to the water for fresh meats.-N. Y.

IN SILENCE.

~ ShSSS.8
Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to ~womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, i'll the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and 'flocal treatment"
Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nine of them "local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why

with a large force. 1t is reported that
Capt. Gen. Weyler has been wounded.
All news from the scene of the en-
gagement is suppressed by the ofici-
ais at the palace. The Herald, COM
menting on the above, says:
"The report that Maceo has crossed
the Trocha is in line with the expecta-
tons of the Cuban junta in this city.
Since Gen. Maceo, by order of Gen.
Gomez, and in defiance of Gen. Wey-
Ter, invaded the province of Pinar del
Rio, in March last, Spanish, as we'll as
Cuban reports have represented him
again and again as having crossed the
trocha, constructed by Gen. Weyler to
keep him from rejoining Gen. Gomez.
"The Spanish have his crossing of
the line in disguise as his way of get
ting out of the trap into which, &C.
cording to them, he had entered. The
Cubans, on the other hand, have re-
ported his crossing in defiance of the
alleged security of the Spanish line.
Maceo has from time to time stated
to those supposed to be in close COM
munication with him, that he would
cross the line when it should be time
for him to meet Gen. Gomez again in
Havana or Mantanzas province.
"According to the recent dispatches.
Gen. Gomez was in Santa Clara prov
ince, near Mantanzas with his extreme
vanguard alread near Havana itself.
Some of his men are said to have par
ticipated in the raid of Guanabacoa,
just across the bay from Havana, on
Dec. [. Under such circumstances it
would seem that the moment had
come when Gomez and Maceo would
naturally wish to combine their forces
for a strong attack on the Spanish
army"
