Roasting a Fowl a In Japanese.

A fowl prepared for roasting by a
Japanese is a thing of beauty, as far as
a dismantled bird can be. Carefully
picked, even to the head, and skillfully
drawn, the thighs are then pushed back
close to the body, which pumps the
breast out in an enhancing manner,
and the drumsticks tucked into the or
ifice through which the drawing was
done. Two or three stitches fasten the
legs in place and close the aperture.
The long, dangling neck is then deity
twisted under one wing and both wings
turned and folded at the back. This
brings the head into position, with the
extra neck fullness disposed of. If one
doesn't mind seeing his roast fowl serv-
ed like woodcock, with its head on, he
can find no fault with the tout ensem-
bic Of his chicken cooked la Japan

A Story of Job Ia HorrIsscy.


 Henry L. Dawes of Pittsield, Mass, successor of Charles Sumner in the senate, told the following story:
 "When was a judge in pittsfeld, Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan fought l prize light at a neighboring place called Boston Corners. Sullivan was arrested and fined $1,000. He handed over the money and went his way. A day CT two later, while was sitting on he bench, a fine looking man entered the courtroom and sent a letter up to me. It was from a friend of mine in- iroducing John Morrissey. He, too, was fined $1,000 and said to me that he would send me his check on his re- turn to New York.
 Well, I didn't know what might happen if he was let go on that under standing, but I said to Morrissey that any arrangement for settlement which he made with the sheriff would be sat isfactory. The sherlf. feeling as did, insisted upon hay 2 the fine paid in cash. and since /. rrissey didn't happen to have that ch cash with him the sheriff locked him up until the amount was sent on from New York.
 "I fancied that Morrissey felt he owed me a grudge because of this in. cident. Years afterward in Washing ton a number of new congressman were brought up to be introduced to me. Among them was Morrissey. When he came forward, he smiled and said. MT. Dawes. I believe we have met before.'"

DAIRY UTENSILS.
Clennlfness the Only Safeguard
 Against Bacterial Infection.

Cleanliness the Only Safeguard
 Against Bacterial Infection.
 Never neglect the care of the churn, says George E. Newell in The Ameri- cna Cultivator. Slight negligence in this direction may cost you the price of many a pound of butter.
 After q churn has been some time out of use it should be thoroughly secured with salt and repeatedly scala ed before being again employed.
 Nothing will penetrate the crevices of churn like hot water, and it needs to be at boiling temperature when ap- piled.
 There is nothing gained in patching up old utensils about a home dairy or manufactory. Like farming tools, the apparatus of a creamery or cheese fac tory generally deteriorates more quick ly in value from neglect than from practical use In its especial sphere.
 The greatest care should be taken to expunge evory atom of salt or briny water from the ironwork of dairy uten- sils.
 Rigid drying by both an absorbent cloth and heat will do this satisfac- torily. l have known new $2o curd mill to be so eroded by rust in one sea son as to be nearly ruined.
 By proper care it could have been made to run ten years without repair
 If it is important to keep butter tools scrupulously clean, how much more important Is it to be rigorous in the treatment of milk utensils.
 In private dairies it would be well to emulate the methods in vogue in milk shipping stations and creamerics.
 First, after a rinse of cold water, the cans and other timed lacteal utensils are washed thoroughly with warm Wa ter, changing the bath frequently to keep 1t clean.
 Now follows the coup de grace, the death dealing blow to bacteria and spores. This Is the scalding process.
 Where good steam pressure can be obtained superheated steam is the best agency to employ, whirling the cans rapidly while 1t is applied to every part of the interior.
 On the farm, however, water if used while boiling will be effective enough to render utensils asceptic.
 Do not scald milk receptacles by pouring the hot water from one to the other. It cools too rapidly to be ef- fective on even the second can so treated.
 We should always bear in mind that the fungi and bacteria inhabiting milk vessels are of microscopic character, and seams which appear clean to the naked eye may in reality be teeming with millions of these vegetable or ganisms

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Porto Ricsn Tariff Question stin Un.
 settled.

In connection with the debate on the Quay case in the senate on Thursday Mir. Gallinger charged MT. Penrose with stating falsehood. Mr. Ray, chairman of the house committee on judiciary, in- troduced q proposed antitrust amendment to the constitution.
 11Ie senate on Friday passed the S2,- O00,OOO appropriation for the relief of Porto Rico after amending it. Senator Allison named n steering committee to formulate a tariff measure. which, it is asserted. will have the support of 45 Re publicans when it comes up for consid- eration. In the Quay case the senate agreed to take up the matter of seating the Pennsylvanian on April 3. The house devoted its session to the consid- eration of private bills.
 The house on Monday refused to con cur in the senate amendments to the Por- to Rican appropriation bill the packers of the original bill insisting that all mon- eys heretofore collected and to be collect ed go to the Porto Ricans. They re- quested a conference. and each house ap- pointed three members to agree upon a compromise measure. Senator Beveridge (Rep.) of Indiana offered an amendment to the Porto Rican bill providing for free Aidut anu tApitSSiA NAiPhtsiAiAE AhsaA ho part of the constitution be extended to the island. A resolution rcyiving the rank of lieutenant general was introduced in both houses.
 The conferees of the house and senate on Tuesday came to an agreement on the appropriation bill for the relief of the Porto Ricans. Mir. Morgan G~cussed the Porto Rican question ill the senate. The house began consideration of the Loud bill relating to second class mail matter Mir. Sulzer of New York denounced the administration because the war depart ment refused to give out secret informa tion as to British Qualifications on oui northern border. He declared England had used the United States to accomplish her own selfish ends.

Winter Flavor,

When the weather holds down below zero and the mercury sulks day after day, says The Creamery Journal, the thrifty patron sets his milk cans away in the horse barn and covers them up like so many Eskimo babies to keep them from freezing, and arter two days he loads them up and sends them to the creamery and expects the butter to sell for three-quarters of a cent above highest quotation.
 Were he at the other end of the line he would, find that the butter has a dirty flavor after it reaches the deal CT and that it is due to tainted milk. It is easy to say that the butter maker should refuse all milk which is the least tainted; but, all the same, the creameries are few where there will not be at times some milk which is not strictly up to the desired standard, and the fact that the boys ask their patrons to take special pains when they are making butter for a conven- tion shows that they sometimes take milk in for the everyday make which is not so fine as it ought to be and that they see no way out of it under the law of competition. Where, then, does tact come In? Right here for one place. There being two or more grades of milk delivered as to cleanliness, skim as little milk as possible into the cream from milk which is not, like C&sar's wife, above suspicion and then dump warranted milk right into the cream. This shuts out as much as pos sible of the taint from questionable milk and puts in enough casein of the accepted quality to set up the right kind of fermentation. In practice this milk is generally in part or as whole "started'' in fermentation the day pre- vious. but adding good, fresh milk has of itself a good effect.

A .Iudre in Tears.

The unusual spectacle of judge in tears was witnessed at Cardiff when MT. Justice Bucknill pronounced the capital sentence for the first time in his judicial career. The sentence was on a woman, and the judge, whose voice was very shaky from the first words of the sentence, entirely broke down at thepend and burst into tears. The scene, especially after the pathetic appeal of the prisoner for mercy for the sake of her children, was almost without parallel in the annals of trials. Even the leading counsel were obliged to use little subterfuges to hide their emotion. Tit Bits.

Prominent Republican Dead.

Hon. John A. Bingham died at his home in Cadiz, O.. on Monday. aged S5 years. He had been in ill health, the result of old age, for some time, and his death was not unexpected. Two daughters survive him. Judge Bingham was noted orator. He served eight terms in congress from the Sixteenth Ohio district and was minister to Japan from 1872 to 1885. He was a member of the house committee which brought the impeachment proceedings against President Johnson and as judge advocate of the army sentenced Mrs. Surratt for conspiracy in the murder of Lincoln. He was the author of the first section of the fourteenth amendment to the constitu- ton. During his public career he was a leader in the national councils of the Re publican party and was a close friend of Lincoln and Stanton. He was voted a pension by congress in recognition of his distinguished service to the country.
