CHICKEN TAMALES.
How to Prepare Dish Which s
Esteemed Quite Highly in Some
Parts of the West.

To make chicken tamales, boil two
pounds of corn and a handful of lime
in water enough to cover until the skins
of the corn will slip Off; then wash the
corn and grind it very fine. Boil a
large chicken, and mix the liquor in
which the chicken was boiled with the
ground corn, adding a pound of firm
lard and salt to taste. Having boiled a
pound of red peppers until soft, remove
the seeds and mash the peppers to q
pulp; add garlic button (chopped)
and one-half pound of ground chillies
Mix this preparation with the chicken
Fill wet corn husks Gnner husks) with
the mixture, alternately with the meal
and chicken, tie up, and b9il from AZ
minutes to an hour in a gallon of water
When all are half done turn the top ones
over. This mixture will make dozen
hot tamales." Serve hot, with the
husks opened, and the tamales piled Oh
a napkin.
A more simple process is to use q
quart of scalded corn meal instead OF
the hulled corn, and a lump of butter
the size of a walnut instead of the lard
In this case take a lump of the dough
pat it out into a thin, fiat cake, put one
spoonful of the above chicken mixture
on it, roll them together, then roll the
tamale tightly in the corn shucks; tie
the ends of the shucks together in a
knot to keep the tamales from coming
open; these need to boil only about 2t
minutes.-Mrs. w. L. Tabor, IN Farm
and FirpSi1e

CHICKEN LANGUAGE.
The Cries of the Fenthered Folk Are
Said to he Comprehensive to
Human Beings.

Chickens speak in a language that
human ears learn readily to compre-
bend. For the most part 1T is instinc-
tive. A fuzzy toddler six hours out
of the shell has FIVE distinct calls. The
first and loudest of them is the lost
note, uttered when it loses sight of
it's mother or finds itself out in the
cold. 1t is loud and very shrill: Pee
ee-op! Pee-ee-ee-op! Pee-eee-op."
The second, the hunger note, is as
shriIl, but more plaintive, running
somewhat thus: "Yeap! 4eeap! 1ee-
eeap." AS soon as eating begins it
changes to a sort of satisfied chitter-
ing: "Wit-wit! Wit-wit! Wit-wit-
weet." After eating the chicks grow
sleepy, and cry to be covered The
note is somewhat like that of hunger,
with a peculiar tremolo, breaking it in
the middle: "Yee-pl-leepI Nee-pl-lee-
pl!" does not fully represent it, but
comes as near as the limitations of
vowels and consonants admit. The
fifth note, the chir-r-r of fright or as
tonishment, is the quaintest of all.
This chir-r develops at last in the graf
ing call of warning, at sound of which
from their mother even the youngest
scatter and scutter to cover. Any
thing, a bird, kite, even very small
passing cloud, sailing in the sky over
head, will evoke this warning cry. Let
one hen sound it, every other will take
it up. Often the alarm is false one,
but centuries of hawks have impressed
upon each feathered mind that danger
cometh out of the air" and they govern
themselves accordingly.
Everybody knows how hens clucll to
their broods, but it may be news to
many that though n hundred hens may
be clucling in the same inclosure, the
voice of each will be individual and un-
mistakable to her immediate family.
A chick just out of the nest may not be
able to discriminate, but let it follow
for day and it is past making mis-
takes. Even more wonderful is the
hens ability to differentiate her brood
from all the rest.
Upon finding food hen calls her
chicks somewhat thus: "Co-cu-co-cu-
cu-cu-ee!" The rooster calls his wives

nearly the same notes, but deeper and
more resonant in the beginning and
running at the end into a high treble.
There is something clownish in his

Monument t, 5eauregard.

The proposition to erect a monu
ment in New Orleans to the memory
of the late General Beauregard is
again being agitated. Sometime ago
an effort was made to collect funds
for the purpose and 81 900 was Sc
cured and safely invested. This
was not deemed sufficient to erect
monument worthy of the distin-
guished soldier, and since then moth
ing has been done in the matter. An
effort will now be made to secure ad-
ditional funds. General Beauregard
was native and for large portion
of his life a resident of Louisiana.
"It is strange" says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, "that Louisiana,
which has erected monuments to
Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney John
ston and other Confederate leaders,,
should have neglected the most dis
tinguished Louisianian that served in
the Confederate army"

The Nicaragua Canal.

Ftank Lesle's Popular Monthly.
In spite of the impetus recently
given to geographical study, it is
probable that ten out of twelve WELL
read persons will estimate the dis
tance between Liverpool and San
Francisco and, via Clpe Horn, to be
at least one thousand miles longer
than from New York to the same
port of the Golden Gate; but it is
actually 80 miles shortel!-the two
routes being respectively 1850 and
14,S4O miles long. The greatest
surprise, however, is to find that
New Orleans is further away than
either of the two cities, being 1902
miles from San Francisco. When
the Nicaragua canal is opened this
southern city will be only 4,047 miles
from her western sister: New York
will be a distance of 1916 miles and
Liverpool 1854 miles. The economy
to the shipping interests Of England
and America alone would pay for the
canal twice over in short time, to
say nothing of the advantage to COM
merce of reaching markets hitherto
inaccessible.

She should not forget that if she
treats her boy as gentleman, she
will do much towards making him a
gentleman.
She should not treat her boy to
perpetual frowns, scoldipg and fault
finding. Sugar attracts more flies
than vinegar" Love wins her boy
to a noble manhood.
She should never be so busy or
hardpressed for time that she cannot
listen to him. If he lives to be a
man he will all too soon leave her.
She should make the most of him
while she has him.
She should encourage outdoor ex-
ercise or sports, and should not for
get to train him with proper regard
for his personal appearance.
She should never allow him to
form such habits as coming to the
table in his shirt sleeves, neglecting
his nails or teeth, or carrying soiled
handkerchiefs about with him.
She should never nag him, or for
get that he is creature of reason,
not an animal that requires to be
driven.
She should not try to break her
boys will, but be thankful that he is
manly enough to have mind Of his
own and devote herself to training it
to the noblest uses.
She should not fail to instil in him !
a distaste for all that is vulgar.
