How to Make Ii Out of the Food Gem
orally Thrown Away.
We are not apt TO regard the Irish
peaSantry as either thrifty or patterns
N any matters OF cooking, yet the
emmy Scotch are no more severe econ
onlists than the Irish of the northern
country. The genuine Irish stew is a
dish that deserves every praise. Its as
great a success in its way as a Scotch
broth of mutton, and it is culinary
lesson IN the use of what people general
~ throw away.
To make this dish the peasant
secures what scraps of meat and bones
ne can get for few cents. The pur-
chase is chiefly bone. and the meat is
either beef or mutton, or it may be OF
both.
The bone and meat are separated and
the fat is removed. The best way to
make the broth is to throw the meat
in one kettle and the bones in another,
and cover them both with cold water.
After the contents of the two kettles
have simmered very slowly for one
hour salt is added. The cook now gath
ers any sound vegetable tops, the green
tops of celery, the green leaves outside
the Gu hbage, which in less thrifty parts
CT the land are the perquisite of the pig.
These are chopped together and added
TO the kettle containing the bones, and
simmered with them for the next hour.
For every two quarts of the stew two
small onions cut in slices are added.
When they have simmered half an
hour, six small potatoes, cut in quar-
ters, are put in. When the potatoes
have cooked half an hour, strain the
broth off the bones and chopped vege-
tables. pressing the vegetables hard IN
extract all the pulp and flavor from
them. Thicker the strained broth with
heaping tablespoonful of -four mixed
with large tablespoonful of butter.
If mutton is used the broth must be
carefully SKINNED befoi- adding the
thickening. Let the thickening cook
in the stained broth for ten minutes,
stirring it carefully, then pour it in the
kettle of meat. onions and potatoes.
Let the stew simmer a moment or two,
stirring it constantly. Taste it to see
if it needs more salt, add pepper, and
serve at once.
1t is largely pot of luck. depending
upon the vegetables at hand and the
amount of meat it contains; but it is
nutritious, even when il is made largely
of vegetables, and it is always excellent.

Chung TO Him While Commercial Traveller in The Middle
West, Notwithstanding all Efforts TO Get Rid Of it.
Hot Springs Of Arkansas, Of no Avail
From the Cnrontclc, Chicago, III.

Mr.. William Clement, of Freeport, Illi-
nois, is well-known commercial traveller,
and represents the large Chicago house OF
Reed, Welsh & LANCE. In his early life Mr..
Clement migrated 10 the breezy west and be-
came cowboy in Colorado. After doing as
much at COW punching as he desired, he
turned his attention to mining, the exposure
from which and his life On the plains under
mined once strong constitution, and rheu-
matism, liver and kidney trouble and dropsy
made their unwelcome appearance.
The Hot Springs of Arkansas were visited
in the hope of relief, but he was disappoint-
ed, and so he took up his residence in Hi
nois, and obtained employment as drum
mer for large house in Chicago that has
long since gone out of business. Physicians
were consulted both at home and while on
the road, with only pecuniary benefit to the
doctors, for Mr.. Clement grew worse instead
of better, and constantly had to lay up for
weeks at time.
1t was then that the sufferer conceived the
idea of trying DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and did so.
=" thought" Mr.. Clement said to the re-
porter, that fifty cents would not be much
expenditure, so | bought box of the pills
and began taking then according to direc-
tons.
" | did not have many days TO wait before
found marked improvement in my condi-
ton, so / kept on with the treatment. First
my kidneys began to do their work thorough

" and we'll, and all bloat left me. Then the
rheumatism and pain in the region of the
heart went, my liver is cured, and l may say
| am as well as ever | was. If | had only
known of DR.. Williams Pink Pills a few
years before, | should be good many thou
sand dollars richer"
As usual, when such testimonials are re-
ceived at the Office of DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., they are sent for verifcation to the
leading druggists of the vicinity or other
persons in good standing. The above was
not an exception, notwithstanding Mr. Glenn
ent's excellent reputation, and the returned
reports certified that all of the foregoing
statements made TO the reporter were strictly
true.
An analysis of Or. Williams Pink Pills
shows that they contain, in condensed form
all the elements necessary to give new life and
richness TO the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects of Ia grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow compilations, all forms of
weakness either in male or female, and al
diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the
blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of price, so

water for House pants.

There is far more danger of giving
house plants too much rather than too
little water in winter. During the short
days and long nights, with very little
sunlight on the soil, it is hard TO keep
it at temperature where the plants can
grow vigorously. All the surplus water
added lowers the temperature until it
reaches point where the plants barely
exist without making any growth. If
the soil has much vegetable matter
hu1nic acid viii be developed at a low
temperature, and this will poison the
plant roots.

Its floor is a huge smoothly chiseled
slab of Rhode Island granite, weighing
more than a ton, while similar gigan-
tic slab of stone, which weighs 2,700
pounds and can be handled only with
the aid of derrick, forms its cover.
The walls of the grave are of ce-
mented pressed bricks, solid as ada
mant, and as thick and enduring seem
ingly as those of modern fort,
Mrs. Johnson is greatly pleased with
the remodeled tomb, and convinced
that after her body is placed between
its two ponderous granite slabs it will
be absolutely secure.
Not long ago Mrs. Johnson had a
magnificent granite monument erected
ON her cemetery lot at a cost of $4,000,
which is said to be the most ornate,
unique and expensive private NOR
tuary memorial in New England. 1t is
lofty, shapely shaft, handsomely pol
ished and carved, bearing the allegori-
cal figures, also superbly sculptured, of
Faith, Hope and Charity. The monu-
ment was erected by famous granite
cutters of Westerly, r. l.
Mrs. Johnson's ruling passion is an
immoderate fondness for diamonds, on
account of which the title of Mrs.
Diamond" Johnson was popularity be
slowed on her more than a quarter of
century ago. At all times she is a.
glitter with the gems from head to
foot, and she rarely appears in public
with less than $25, 900 to $4,000 worth
of them displayed on her person.
It is said to be her intention to have
her fabulous store of jewels buried
with her body, a fancy that may ac-
count, in part, for her determination
to make her tomb absolutely impreg-
nable to grave robbers.

Mrs. Mary futile ("Diamond'') John

a remarkable grave constructed in her

Mrs. johnson purchased her ceme-

completed her grave when she decided
that it was not strong enough to battle
a possible assault after her body had

HeiD it Along.

Nevada is getting more Advertising
this year through the East than ever
before. The big dailIes of the East
ern cities arr devotiDg a good deal Of
their space to showing up its mineral,
agricultural and stock raising re-
sources. This is sure to do the State
great benefit, as heretofore ttit Sc
papers have looked upoL it AS merely
a Struggling community Of played out
mining camps. They have piped
upon this tune so long that ninet~
per cent OF the people of the Eat
think that Nevada has no reaou:cu.
outside of mining aud that her mines
are all worked ont and that her few
people are almost unworthy to be soy
ereiSn citizens Of the United States.
This awakening of the Eastern
press will cause the home8eekers Of
that section to turn their attention TO
Nevada for the homes denied them in
the over crowded cities Of the East.
The indications from every section
of the State point to greater activity
this year than at any time since the
failure OF the Comstock lode to pour
lts millions iuto the channels of com.
MERGE. This argues we'll for the fu-
ture Of Nevada and should give her
citizens courage to go forward liz the
development and %upbuilding of d
prosperous wealth.
This cannot be done, however. bv

whose energy and enterprise have
brought capital here and whose aim
Is to assist in Quilting up the State.
If this course he followed capital and
enterprise will be driven away and
seek fields where the conditions are
more favorable.
The conditions are ripe for a boom
this year and every citizen should do
his part to help it along. Let us all
put our shoulders to the wheel of
progress and lift Nevada's car of state
out OF the deep ats OF depression in
which it has run for the last fen
