Plucking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished in this way: As
soon as the bird is dead immense it in q
pail of very hot water, the water to COW
or all the feathers. One minute is usu-
ally long enough to keep the fowl under
hot water. Too long soaking is liable to
discolor the skin. After this hot bath
the feathers are SO loosened that they
can be almost rubbed of. The bird is
then rinsed in cold water and wiped
with a soft cloth. 1t should then be put
into a cotton bag kept for this purpose
and hung in a cool place. When fowls
are not to be used at once, they should
always he loosely rolled in cloth or pa.
per to keep them from turning dark.
Ducks cannot be managed In this way,
as their feathers contain 30 much oil
that the water does not penetrate them.

the Original Gospels Exists.
Some If our readers there may be
who find it difficult to understand why,
since God has revealed to us his will i'll
a book, or rather in q library of inspired
books, as the Bible truly is, he has not
at the same time given us an infalllble
text. How much labor would have been
saved had we possessed the autographs
of four e%vangelistsl To this we answer
that, had one such autograph existed,
some branch of the Christian church.
possibly every branch, ourselves inolud-
ed-would have made an idol OF the
writer's parchment while neglecting
its teaching altogether. We can only
seek to comprehend the ways OF Provi-
dence in one sphere by observing them
in another. Man is the heir of all
things, yet he is sent into the world to
depend for food, clothing and all The
comforts and adornments Of life Oh his
wits. How greatly is he thereby differ
entiated frcm the brutesl How immeas-
urably is the educated man, and espe-
cially the scientific investigator, raised
above the savage simply as the result of
his own efforts!
Is it not possible that he who gave
the word Of life designs to quicken our
interest in it by arousing afresh in each
successive generation of Christians the
desire to approach nearer to its sources,
to remove the underground of legend
and tradition which has sometimes OBJ
structed its free course, and that we are
saved from the danger of finding it trite
by the feeling that we possess a divine
treasure which, though a gift, is not en-
tirely independent of our own exertions
for the measure in which it shall min
lister to our Observation-Disclosures Smith
