Obituary..

Sunday the brittle thread of life was
snapped for jap Skinner and the spir-
it part left its tenement of clay and
winged its flight to other spheres. The
interment took place Monday in the
Maple grove cemetery, the funeral SER
vices being conducted by Rev. Conner
of the Evangelical, church from the
church.
The deceased was forty years of age
and has been sufferer for several
years with Bright's disease and has
had long weary waiting for the time
to leave, but has borne with patience,
born of heroism the affection that he
knew meant death.
He leaves wife and daughter to
mourn for one whose patience taught
them many lessons of self-sacrifice in
life that will remain on the tablets of
memory's states, as lesson in right
living. Though the spirit that held
to earth, the house we call man, is
gone, its memory will long remain
green and pure for the, things he has
done.
AS citizen he always tried to full
fill every duty and obligation that
came to him in manner that would
cast no reflection upon the govern.
ment he lived to serve. He treated
his neighbors with consideration and
his friends with trust. His name will
long be remembered with tendermem
cries by all who knew him.

MARYLAND CHICKEN.
When Properly Cooked 1t II u Deli
ciOus Dish, Fit for the Table OF
King or Prince.

If chicken is to be cooked for
breakfast, a delicious variation Of the
common fried broiler is dish called
Maryland chicken. 1t is really the
most appetizing form possible Of
southern fried chicken. Dress, clean
and cut up young fowl; sprinkle
with pepper and salt and roll in flour.
Dip in a beaten egg, to which have
been added two teaspoons of water.
1t is not possible to egg chicken by
laying it in the egg; instead hold each
piece in the hand, turning it every way
30 that it can be thoroughly wet, and
pour the mixture over it with spoon.
Then lay in finely sifted bread crumbs
and cover thoroughly with them. Ar
range the pieces OF, chicken int a drip
ping pan. SO that as much surface
as possible will be exposed to the heat,
and set in a hot oven. When it has
been in for five minutes pour over it
one-quarter of cup of butter, being
careful to haste each piece. Twenty
minutes will cook it if the oven is hot
enough; each piece will be inclosed in
crisp brown crust. Lay the chicken
on platter and make a cream sauce,
using the melted butter in the drip
ping pan for foundation. Set it on
top of the stove and allow the butter
to become kissing hot; then add two
tablespoonfuls of flour and liberal
seasoning Of pepper and salt. When
stirred smooth, pour in one cup OF
cream. Beat till very smooth with a
wire whisk, then strain over the chick
en-. Garnish with parsley.-Good

CHINESE SANDWICHES.
They Are Not Composed of What Com.
mon Prejudice Might Lead
One to Suppose.

Patrons OF certain restaurant in
this city frequently call for Chinese
sandwich" and the order is not de-
layed.
The prejudiced might suppose that
Chinese sandwich was made dwell,
D ever mind, it isn't. =,
It doesn't seem quite clear why this
particular sandwich should be tagged
with Monaghan label. In compo-
sition it is more Teutonic than oriental.
In short, it consists of two generous
slices of rye bread spread with finely
chopped raw meat.
q" That there should be demand for
such sandwich is not surprising. Ger
mans have for a long time relished raw
meat, even without the bread, Posi-
bly, the idea spread from Great Britain
and the continent, where the hospitals
have for years nourished certain pa
tients with raw beef and raw mutton.
The raw beef sandwich has also had
a place in the regimen of New York
hospitals for long time. The me1i-
cal mems theory is that raw meat is
more nourishing and more easily d.
gested, and is especially adapted to
weak stomachs. .a- -.

own name is Isabel Somers. She is
the daughter of Earl and Countess
Somers, and is now just 50 years
old. In 1872 she was married to Lord
Henry Somerset, NJ. p, who is second
son of the duke of Beaufort. In
1890 she first achieved considerable
Importance by her election to the

IMPORTANT QUESTION.
When Do Swine Make the Cheapest
Gains, In the First Season or
at Mature Agee

1t is now pretty generally under
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains the most cheaply near the
birth period, and also the most rap
idly. This is owing to the greater
activity of the secretions when an
lmals are young. But this explana-
ton does not SO well apply to the
case of swine. After several years of
experimenting at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, it has been ascer-
tanned that pigs do not gain nearly
SO rapidly when they are young as
when of more mature age. When
they were on the sow it was found
difficult to make them gain pound
day. After weaving for two or
three months they seldom made more
than one-half pound per day, but aft
er say five or six months for the next
two or three months they gained we'll
on to two pounds per day. Thus it has
been shown in several instances, that
between the ages of five and eight
months pigs have made the most
rapid increase in weight. The exper-
1ments referred to were not made
with view to test this question, but
these results came out incidentally
in large number of tests. AS re-
suit of the casual manner in which
these conclusions were reached, the
relative cost of the gains cannot be
given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly. owing to the small amount
relatively of the food consumed.
This is a great question. 1t ought
to be further investigated. The ex-
perience referred to calls up the
thought that it may be possible to
market pork too young to bring the
grower the greatest profit. even
when swine are sold as young as six
or seven months, the popular age at
which to sell. These results in swine
growing, SO different from those OBJ
tanned in growing cattle and sheep,
are well worthy of the closest study.

WASHING FINE LACES.
lt Ia the Most Delicate Task Which
the Average Woman IL Called
Upon to Perform.

There is no better rule to give for
having one s laces spotless than to
keep them always clean, and to be
more careful OF them than of rold
and precious stones.
An earthenware slab is the first
thing needful. Sometimes there are
old platter trays which are perforat-
ed. or even, with small pieces, the in
side of an earthenware butter dish
would do. Whatever is used first get
your slab. 1t should be, according
to rule, eight to ten inches square,
and pierced with small holes about an
inch apart. The next requirement is
a piece of book muslin or bobbinet
large enough to cover the slab, and
tie securely in the back. 70 make this
possible, the material is hemmed all
around and double tape run through
the hem, by means of which it is
drawn up.
Next take the lace and fold it quite
small, place it on the slab and cover
1t smoothly with the muslin or bob
blnet; pull snugly over the lace and tie
1t In the back. An earthenware tub,
or one of metal, should be used for
washing, and into this pour a gallon
of cold water, to which three ounces
OF soap have been added. If it is pos
slble to allow the time, the lace should
soak in this water for IL hours. Be-
fore taking it out it must be washed
with the palm of the hand for st least
i've minutes. Then it goes intt, tub
OF perfectly clean water, and is washed
In the same way for two minutes.
Boiling is the next process, and a
copper boiler should be used. A gal
lon of water, in which four ounces of
soap have been dissolved is poured
over this, and the lace is allowed to
boil for two hours at least. Again
the slab is placed in the tub, and over
1t is poured gallon of hot but not
boiling water, in which have been
dissolved two ounces of soap, the lace
being again washed with the palm of
the hand as before.
Now take the lace from the slab,
reverse it without unfolding, replace
on the slab, cover with the muslin, tie
tightly with the tapes at the back,
and wash at least five minutes with
the palm of the hand. Put again in
tub of clean cold water and wash
it until it is quite free from soap.
1T it is badly soiled it can be placed
in the sun instead of being left so long
boiling, and can remain until it is dry.
Starching laces seems a desecra-
ton, but here is the way to do it il
one must. To one ounce of starch add
two tablespoonful of cold water, and
when the starch is dissolved pour
over it one pint of boiling water. This
Is for "val' lace, Cluny, Maltese and
old Devonshire. For Honiton, point
and antique laces one ounce of starch
should be mixed with ~ pints of wa
ter.
With the lace still on the slab, the
starch is thrown ever the center and
from there will saturate the whole
surface. With the slab placed in a
slanting position the starch will drain
off in about IS minutes. Then place
the slab with the lace on it fat on a
table, and with. clean, thick cloth
four or five times doubled, pat until
all superfuous moisture is absorbed.

ence between the various races. but
those who ought to know, credit the
Cingalese lady with more affection
ate disposition. and with less prone
ness to quarrel. She is, like I'LL other
Asiatic feminines. very fond of per-
sonal ornaments, especially jewelry,
and although her taste may appear
faulty in some details, no doubt her
native admirers would offer similar
criticism on seeing an English lady
in ball costume of up-to-date fash
ion. At all events, these gentleman
nered women make dutiful daughters
and faithful wives when kindly treat
ed, as is said to be usually the case.
Thoroughly domesticated by early
training, they devote all their
thoughts to the details of household
work, and do not consider it in the
least derogatory, as some western
wives appear to do, to cater for the
tastes of their husbands. It is not
much matter for surprise, therefore,
that contentment reigns in most
Tamil families.-London Graphic.

THE USEFUL ANGORA.
His Mission Is to Supply Mohair 10,
the Manufacture of Delicate
Dress Fabrics.

Unlike that of the Belgian hare, tho
Angora goat business cannot be
called a fad, for the reason that tho
animal in question is, and has been
for long, long years, an animal OF
utility, and will continue to be an an
1mal of utility just as long as mohair
is imported into this country or ex-
ported from it, as it is most assured
ly bound to be some day, says Shop
herd Boy in Wool Markets and Sheep.
AS meat-producing animal he will
no doubt take his stand with cattle,
sheep and hogs in feeding the ever
growing meat-eating population Of
the world, but he is never intended
or destined to kill either the beef,
mutton or pork trade of this or any
other country. When venison is
scarcer, and, consequently, dearer.

When to Slaughter n Pig.

When to slaughter a pig must de-
pend on what we have to feed him, and
the price at which feed is selling in the
market. The price of pork also cuts
some figure, but not so much as the
price of feed. For instance, this year
in some localities pig feed is SO high
in price that every pound of additional
weight put on costs ten cents, which is
far above the highest market price
possible. Where the hog raiser lives
near a creamery and can get skim
milk at low figure, or near a cheese
factory and can get whey for prac-
tically nothing, it often pays to keep
the pigs till they are of good size, even
when other feeds are high. This year
a good many pigs are being got rid
of as soon as they attain weight of
$50 pounds.-Farmers' Review.

Treating Bloat in Sheep.

The trouble of hoover or bloat in
sheep, caused by various gaseous foods
being taken into the stomach, such as
green clover, alfalfa, ETC., is easily re-
Geved by tying a, round stick back in
the mouth. This is done by taking q
piece of an old broom handle or other
round stick of about that size. The
stick should be eight or ten inches
long, cut grooves around the stick near
each end and tie at these places q
string which can be tied back of the
head, when the stick is put in the
mouth. This arrangement forces the
mouth to remain open The gas will
quickly escape and the animal will be
relieved. This treatment is as APP
plicable for the cow as for the sheep,
but larger stick is required for the
cow.-Nebraska Farmer.
