THE PANTRY IN SUMMER.
Much Care Should Be Devoted Toward
Keeping 1t Wholesome.

Much Care Should Be Devoted Toward
Keeping 1t Wholesome.
If the atmosphere Of a cellar or pantry
is not sweet and the refrigerator can
not be thoroughly ventilated, it may
be greatly improved by placing a few
trays of charcoal on the floor and
shelves. The air will soon become pure
and sweet. The temperature of a pam
try may be kept very cool by hanging
at the window or door a wet cloth or
sheet.
Bacon, joints, or hams should hang
from hooks driven in the ceiling, rather
than be laid on shelves. Again, where
there is but little or no ice, Joints should
be sprinkled with powdered charcoal.
To keep fresh fish in warm weather
it should first be thoroughly cleaned
and dried well inside with a clean linen
cloth, then rubbed internally with good
brown sugar, after which hang it in a
well-aired and absolutely dry place.
Wash off the sugar before cooking.
Soups, broths, gravies and soup
stock can often be kept from turning
for two or three days by boiling them
once, or, in great heat, twice a day.
Of course many of these precautions
may be entirely dispensed with where
the household boasts a large, we'll
packed refrigerator.
Too many cooks from ignorance, and
their mistresses from carelessness, have
a mistaken idea that refrigerator is
an excuse for neglecting simple hy-
gienic principles. When meat is
brought in from the butchers, it should
be well looked over, all Objectionable
little tag ends of fat and bristle should
be removed, and, after sailing, the meat
should be placed at once in the ice chest
Great care should be taken to remove
all crumbs and scraps from the shelves
and floor of pantry, since they attract
insects more than anything else. If
there are windows in the pantry, net.
ting should be nailed tightly over them
to prevent the flies from gaining ac-
cess The bread box should be we'll
washed and dried two or three times a
week and placed in the sun. The fresh
loaves should be wrapped in slightly
lid of the box left little open, so thai
the fresh air may circulate through it.
All stale crusts and bits of bread should
be placed in a china dish with cover,
until they are ground into bread
crumbs.-Philadelph Inquirer.

Granniss, who guarded them most care
fully from fire and accident. Mr.. Ban
croft was never able to secure them
from Colonel Granniss, and it is said
that after systematic search, conducted
for score of years by Mr.. Bancroft and
his agents, these are about all the docu-
mehts that are known to exist outside
of his library.
English manuscripts dating from
1894 to 1850 are of great Importance.
The names Of Sutter, Fremont. Larkin,
Ide, Bartlett, Semple, Cotton, Bryant,
Weber, Hull, Halleck, Leidesdorff and
many others are represented. The ma
jority of these documents, both Spanish
and English, have never been referred
to and will greatly assist the future
historian in his researches. Among
these one of the most valuable is Hal
leck's manuscript history of the Cali.
fornias from the discovery to 1849.
The collection is rich in placards and
broadsides of the Spanish and early pi'
oneer days, which were not secured
even by Mr.. Bancroft. In fact, it repre-
sents more than three-quarters OF all the
printed matter issued in the early years
of the American occupation of Cali

JnIeu years a1u now claims as MS TO
ward government title to strip OF
land, or rock-for Pixies peak is
solid mass Of granite-a quarter Of
mile wide and mile long, extending
directly over the summit of the peak.
The disputed point in the controversy
is as to whether President Cleveland's
proclamation actually and legally trans
ferred the land from the war depart
ment to the interior department. At
torney Miller, who served in the gov
ernment land Office under Harrison,
held that it did, as have several other
prominent land and title lawyers.
Henry N. Copp, author of "Copp's Pub
lie Land Laws" upon which the gov
ernment bases all decisions in land mat
ters, after thorough investigation Of
Office at Washington wrote in part as
follows concerning the information he
had gained there: "It was also stated
tn at settlers in good faith on these lands
would be protected, and be permitted to
make filings or entries when the land is
surveyed aud opened to the public. I
would therefore advise you to continue
your residence and improvements, and
there can be little doubt of your obtain
ing title to the land you occupy"
Mr.. Copp is still one of the lawyers in
| the case.
The story Of the Doctors occupation
of the peak is an interesting one and
contains much history of value concern
ing the entire mountain. During the
latter part Of Cleveland's first term and
for some time previous to the abandon
ment of Pixies peak as signal station
it was known by the signal officers on
the peak that the station was soon to bt
done away with.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

MONEY COINED FOR CUBA.
First Issue OF the Kind Authorized by tho
Embryo Republic.

First Issue Of the Kind Authorized by tho
Embryo Republic.
The first coins authorized by the Gu
ban government were issued in New
York city recently. Ten thousand Of
them were ready for distribution, and
there is contract for the coinage Of
$3, 900, 900 as fast as they are needed.
They will likely soon be called for, as
orders for lots of 1000, 1000 and 3, 900
have been fled, and the total amount
Of subscription now amounts to more
than $40, 900. They will be sought for
as souvenirs, and collectors and dealers
in coins are ordering with the expecta-
tion that they will be quite valuable.
The coin is a silver piece 900 fine
weighing 348 grains, or exactly the
same as a four shilling English piece
quoted in this market at SO cents. 1t is
authorized by the Cuban junta, which
has authority from the Cuban govern
ment to issue money and credits to raise
funds for the prosecution of the war,
and this is one of the means. The
scheme of the coins was devised by
Financial Commissioner Jose de Zayas
of the Cuban delegation in New York
city. and the design is the work Of the
Italian sculptor Philip Martigny.
On the diverse of the coin is the head
of the Goddess of Liberty surrounded
by the motto, "Patria y Liberty" (Coun.
try and Liberty, and the word "Sou.
| venir."
The model for this head is Miss Leo
nora Molina, prominent Cuban society
lady of New York, who always takes a
leading part in all entertainments for
the benefit Of the Cuban cause.
The reverse of the coin bears the Gu
ban seal, with the words, Republics
do Cuba" (Republic of Cuba), and six
stars, representing the six Cuban states.
These states are not we'll understood,
even by Cubans, who often confound
them with the six Spanish provinces.
They are Oriente, Camaguey. Las Villas,
Matanzas, Havana and Occidente.
Each coin will be sold for 81 in
United States money, and the money
received will go directly into the FUND
for carrying on the revolution.
The authority and order for thes,
souvenir coins provides for their re
demption at 81 each in United State
silver money so soon as Cuban indie
pendence is established. .-Exchange.

CLAIMS PIXIES PEAK.
MOST REMARKABLE CLAIM EvERFILED
AT WASHINGTON.

DIR. Lewis Lived ON the Summit Of the
Peak For Three Years-He Now Wants
the Government to Issue . Homestead
Patent to Him.
DR.. Albert G. Lewis, mayor OF Man.
ltou, Colo, will 60 to Washington
shortly to lay claim to the top of Pixies
Peak. With him will be corps of the
best known land and title lawyers in
the country, who will attempt to pre-
vail upon the supreme court to ac-
knowledge Lewis as the rightful owner
of the south half of the southwest
fourth, and the south half of the south
east fourth of section z, township IA,
range 6S west in El Paso county, Colo,
which land is and comprises the whole
summit of the famous mountain.
The claim is based upon filing made
by Lewis under date of Feb. Q, 1889,
when at the Pueblo land Office he filed
an old soldiers declaratory statement
upon the land in question. This filing
was made Immediately after President
Cleveland's proclamation transferring
the entire mountain from the war de-
partment to the department of the inte-
rior. Lewis will 90 to Washington load
ed down with his affidavits of promi-
nent citizens of FL Paso county who
will testify to his having legally taken
possession of quarter section on the
very top of the mountain, and to his
having lived upon it the required length
of time and made the necessary i'm
provements stipulated by law for the
proving up Of an old soldiers homestead.
The doctor will attempt to prove that
he settled upon the land in good faith
while it was yet part of the public
domain, and that he had established his
ownership to 100 acres there before the
peak was converted by the government
into timber reservation.
This is the most astounding claim
ever made at the government land Office
If DIR. Lewis is successful, il will pu
him at once in possession of property
worth almost fabulous sums of money
It will give him control Of the most fa
nous mountain peak in the world. i
would place at his mercy the tens q
thousands of tourists and sightseer
who make the top of Pixies peak the
objective point of their wanderings
and who annually give up their littl,
quota of So each just TO ride the min
miles to its summit. He would have a
his mercy the capital invested in Tn
cog road, and could, IL he so chose, lev
exorbitant taxes for franchises an
rights of every kind. The property
which he lays claim bears the distint
tion of being the highest piece of groun
ever settled upon for homestead purpos
In the United States.
At it's highest point IL is IA, 40 fee

was not broken. The Jersey goes out in

bit goes out, and the two fondle and

Uncle Tom Coming.

''Uncle TOMS Cabin" was given to
the public at d time when all civilized
humanity were hesitating between
their prejudices and their established
modes OF thought, and the growing
conviction felt in their innermost heart
that slavery was all wrong. One result
was the testimony of many colored per
sons and fugitive slaves who said to
Mrs. Stowe 'since that book has come
out everybody is good to u.s." I'VE
find friends everywhere Its won
derful how kind everybody is"
In England many demonstrations
were made Oy antl-sIavery societies.
and many addresses were presented the
author, and even when the civil war
was initiated the workingmen of Eng
land did not lend themselves TO any
popular movement which would go to
crush the oppressed in America,
although this war brought hardship to
their very door,
Among the noble ladies of England
the book had many fervent admirers.
In fact, the appearance of this work
developed the latest sentiment against
and was potent factor in en-
listing men in the ranks of those
actively engaged in suppressing it.
