Sprinp Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired, with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs toning
up. The trouble is, that during winter
there has been an accumulation OF waste
matter in the system. Herbine vii! re-
move it, secure to the secretions a right
exit. and by it's tonic effect, fully restore
the wasted tissues and give strength IN
place of weakness. soc at Alb. j. Jones

located in the Penobscot district, about
u miles northwest from Custer, and is
owned by Messrs. B. r. Wood, Ford
Mclaughlin and Joseph Heumphreus.
The amount specified in the bond has
not been publicly announced. The deal
was promoted by Mr.. Aaron Dunn, who
has spent a good part of the winter look
ing up the most meritorious mining
properties of the southern Black Hills,
and has selected the Aspen as among
the best he has found. 1t is in a good
neighborhood. 1t adjoins the Penobscot
and is close to the North Star and the
Saginaw, both of which are being oper-
ated with a strong force Of men. MIR.

THE CHRISTMAS BIRD.

How to Prepare and Cook a Goose.
, Old or Young.
4 goose is the typical Christmas
bird, although most families dine on
turkey that day, and some like a pair
Of ducks and Il fine roast Of beef. The
goose must be young, or what is called
u green goose: Yellow and flexible
feet are a sign Of youth. A goose is
dressed and trusscd in the same man
ner as Il turkey. but the skin should
lie thoroughly washed.
Sage and onions arc the traditional
s%easonings. and ii very good way to
stuff a goose is to boil and mash some
white potatoes and season highly with
onion juice, sage. also salt aud pepper.
Dredge the outside lightly With salt
and pepper and thickly with flour.
Lay the goose on a rack in the baking
pan and put a few tablespOonfuls of
water in the pan; haste often. Twenty
minutes to the pound is the average
time to allow for the baking. Garnish
with blood oranges u In sections on
parsley, celery tips or any other green
garnish. -
Make n sauce from the contents of
the pan, :thickening with -four, and
after straining add the giblets, which
have been cooked until tender IN wa
ter and chopped coarsely.
An old goose cannot be cooked salts
| factorily in this way. 1t will need to
be parboiled and then braised..-Cbica-

A series of festivities beginning min"

Christmas eve marks the Yuletidc cplc

friends it is arranged that nine visit;
shall be paid to nine, different houses.
Each evenings gayety begins with
prayer and the. lighting. of candl"s.
These are followed by the presentation
Of a gift from each guest to the host
or hostess of the evening. The first
evenings gift is of small worth. but
the value of the Offering increases with
every succeeding evening. That there
may be nothing unfair in the distribu-
ton, the recipient of the first evenings
Offering one: year becomes the last the
following year. After the presentation
there are dancing and supper. At mid
night the candles are extinguished. .
No two evenings entertainments are
exactly alike save in the Offering of
prayers, the lighting Of candles and
the presenting Of gifts. On Christmas
eve. a few minutes before midnight,
all proceed to church to hear the mid.
night mass, and this ends the Christ.
