Chicken For InvaIids.

Some people think it would be i'm
possible to boil less than whole chick
Gu to produce satisfactory result, and,
as an invalid can only eat n very small
portion, the rest would have to be
eaten by other persons-a needless eX-
travagance. as Il half or even quarter
of II fowl can be prepared thus, and so
both monotony and waste can be avoid
ed
If possible, stew the piece in stock
enough TO cover the chicken, but II this
is not at hand put an onion. Il carrot
aud n few pieces Of bacon rind into the
water to give 1t flavor. Bring the
liquid to the boil put in the piece Of
chicken, boil for minute and then
pull back the pan off the fire and sim
mer gently until the chicken is tender.
When it is done take 1t out and make
a sauce by adding to one cupful Of the
stock in which 1t was boiled four table
spoonfuls of milk and beaten egg.
Stir this over the fire for n minute or
two, but do not let it boil. and serve
while hot

ArlSansas' Dfp Debt.

A mighty small proportion Of the peo-
pie of the United States know that
the state of Arkansas owes the famous
Smithsonian institution, In Washing
ton, nearly 100000, which it has not
the faintest intention of paying. In
1888, the first year of the reign of the
late Queen Victoria. the United States
received on account of the Smithson
bequest, the details of which are too
well known to require repetition, a
sum aggregating SJ00,0oc. A good pro-
portion Of this was by act Of congress
invested In bonds of the state(of Ar
Lansas. Not Il cent of the principal or
interest of this ever has been paid.
The bonds now are moldering in the
vaults of the United States treasury IN
Washington, with coupons untouched
by the scissors. And there they prob
ably will remain for all time. The fed
eral government was forced to make
good Arkansas delinquency and appro-
pirate money for the inauguration and
maintenance of the institution which
is now famous all over the country
Brooklyn Eagle.
