Physicians usually sneer at the re-
puted merits of beef tea as an article
of invalid diet, and declare that by no
ordinary method of manufacturing il
is any particular nutriment derived.
Beef juice is another matter, and that
may be extracted according to the
following directions: Have a juicy
piece of beef cut one and a half inches
thick from the tender part of the
round or the rump, taking away all
the fat. Heat frying pan and rub it
lightly with bit of the fat, just enough
to keep the meat from sticking, but
leaving, Of course, no fat in the pan.
Lay the beef on the hot pan, adding a
little salt and cutting into it as it
heass. Press with knife and turn
over and over, but do not let it cook
much. Then take from the fire and
press thoroughly in lemon squeezer.

A RELENTLESS QUESTION.

There's phrase that keeps haunting
wherever you turn,
A mockery subtle and cold;
No matter for what your ambition may
yearn,
Nor how honest its purpose and bold,
Hope withers away like the rose that has
died
At the piti!ess touch of the frost;
Like spectre through glsfious dreams it
will glide
The query. Glow muchH e cost?'
The laoorer turns from his visions of cheer
To his toll that is ever the same;
One nabob is calm meath anotner's bland
sneer,
And the tone of an emperor's claim
Grows mild when he asks if the things he
would gain
Are worth what perhaps may be lost;
And the world plods along to the sordid re-
frain
OF the query, "How much'llit cost?'

1t has never been stated yet how
and when Mr.. Spurgeon learned to

to Monday. Admiring the Zest with

John Wadleigh, better known as the
king of Beggars," has returned to
ihis city after an absence of over
year. He arrived a few days ago with
his wife and family to seek pastures
hew among the charitably inclined,
but as mis- true character is we'll known,
he may not reap the amount he did on
MS last visit. Wadleigh and his wife
have been in the habit of travelling
rom place to place, and by their plausi-
Die tales of want and suffering have
succeeded in gaining living without
much exertion. The title of king was
given to him by his class, owing to his
great ability as beggar. 1t is said
~ those who know that his earnings
IN his last visit amounted to nearly
5000 month.
The "."King' is in the habit of oc-
,upying nicely furnished flats and en-
Dying the comforts of home life. At
lis leisure he follows the races with
'arying success, and is also addicted
10 the use of intoxicating liquors. His
wife, Irene, is little woman, with a
.weet face, and hos an air of worldly
ignorance about her which leads peo-
pie to listen to her story, and Otter
moves them to assist her. 1t is her
scheme to obtain donations of furni-
;ure, bedding, provisions, etc., from
IS many people as she can and then
dispose of the same at the highest
price she can receive for cash. The
asst time these unworthy alms-seekers
we're here they played on the sym
oathies of the various charitable or
yanizations with great success until
;hey were shown to be imposters.

LAMBS FOLLOWED THEIR LEADER.
And They Made Things Lively in a Ken
tucky Cabin.

tucky Cabin.
Sim Cook is always getting himself
OF some other sinner into trouble. This
observation is caused by the sudden
recollection of an experience of Simeon
and some sheep, or rather some silly
lambs. One hot day last June Cook
and the lambs started to town. 1t was
q fpretty big drove of lambs. The
weather was extremely hot, and as the
lambs neared the city, after their jour-
ney of four or five miles, they got very
warm and were inclined ito stop and
blow at every point on the road where
trees cast shade. Just on the edge
Of town the lambs were halted in front
of a large double house, occupied by
colored folks. The front gate was
open, likewise the front door of the
house. The sun was behind the build
ing, and the deep shade thereby made
was very inviting. In a few moments
one of the lambs, more venturesome
than the rest of the flock, started
through the gate. A shout from one
of the men in the yard frightened the
animal and it made a leap for the door.
This started the entire outfit, and like
flash the fifty or sixty lambs were 60
ing into that door in stream, and so
rapidly that they just made white
streak between the pike and the door,
way. Inside an old colored woman
was washing. She had stove red hot
and was also cooking dinner. When
the lambs began waltzing around in
that room they stirred up things. They
began running around and around like
scared turkeys. They turned over
washtubs, tripped up the cook and up
set the stove. Cries of fire and moans
Of distress filled the air. and at every
aew sign of grief the lambs became
more ratified
After reign of terror which lasted
only a few moments, but seemed an
age, the lead sheep saw an open win
low, and out he bounced. Then fol-
owed another white streak of mutton
nto the front yard, over the fence and
Down the pike. One lamb came out
With short Joint of stovepipe over its
head, and others carried visible evil
lences of the warfare. Nothing has

SPANISH PEASANTRY.
characterized by Poverty and Appa1.
ling Ignorance.


ling Ignorance.
In the Spanish lower classes you will
find poverty and appalling ignorance
q neglect of the intelligence which is
positively animal-yet nevertheless not
unallied with an obvious capacity of
education and improvement, an actual
and admirable pluck and cheerfulness,
n temper grateful, hosptable, and af-
fectionate, and a marvellous sobriety of
living.
There is one especial word partfcu-
larly applicable to this gente baja. 1t
is the Spanish word sufrida, which we
must render in single English word
by patient; but it means more than pa
tient; it means patient and unvindic
tive under grievous injury and wrong.
Such are the Spanish peasantry-the
cream of the Spanish people. Their
only province in relation to their gov
ernment is to pay. They are passive
vehicle for ministerial extortion. The
contribuciones are already heavier
than they can bear, and grow more
merclless as each successive admins
eioeiOh PidhSCo IAc Nouhtis uSNPVl anu
deeper into debt. In return for this
continuous disbursement they receive
nothing. Their lands are without a
road, their children without a school;
their navy is furnished with ships con-
tracted for at double the price of ours,
whose only quality is to go to the bot
tom without the shadow of cause
their army is unpaid unofficered, and
undrilled, and absolutely incompetent
to engage with any European power
The last Spanish census shows that of
a total population of 100000 over g.
100000 can neither read nor write,
while over half have no determined oc-
cupation. This statement is in itself
so damning that 1t appears hardly nee
essary to inquire further. 1t simply
serves to show that for the present
Spain is a country of Europe, but not
of Europeans; that the Moor, and the
very worst and most savage part OF
him, is still predominant in the despots,
who, by the sheer exercise of terror
aided by complaisant and feeble
monarchy, an army, an armed police, 9
suborned clergy, and suborned press
abuse the holiest attributes of trust
and government and power.-West

The story Of the discovery Of an old,

McClelland, on August II, while pros
pecting in the foothills eight or nine
miles south Of Globe and three and a
half miles to the left of the toll road,
discovered an old shaft, and near by on
the hill above the ruins Of breastworks,
which had evidently been erected for
defense against Indians. The evidences
Of great age observable in the decayed
shaft, almost filed with debris, and the
crumbling breastworks, excited the
party's curiosity, and they stopped to
Investigate. The old shaft was found
to have been sunk on a well-defined
ledge, from which they took promising
specimens of ore which tested well in
copper and gold.
Owing to the unsafe condition of the
old shaft, after having removed two or
three feet of the debris, they aban-
doned 1t, and having made their loca-
tions. they started a new incline shaft
below the old works. From the sur
face down they had twelve to four
