Way to Treat Venison.

The sportsman was explaining to a
few of his uninitiated friends.
IF you don't like venison," he said,
sit is because it has not been prepared
properly. ! think l know the kind you
have tried to eat, and l agree with
you it is not fit. After the deer has
been shot the carcass probably has
been allowed to lie around until the
blood has discolored the meat and
really has almost tainted it. Few
hunters dress their game carefully
enough. As soon as a deer is killed
tie carcass should be thoroughly bled.
skinned. the entraiIS removed and the
meat hung up in the dry air for some
hours Thorough and prompt bleeding
is of the utmost Importance. VenisOD
prepared in this way is comparatively
light in cOlOr-that is, it is a clear,
bright red, and the fat is white ana
clean. There is no strong, rank taste. ''

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The Sea Cucumber Can Part With Snd
Replace Its Organs.

The Sea Cucumber Can Part With and
Replace Its Organs.
Among the curious animals which in
habit the sea we may take the holO-
thuria, OF sea cucumber, so called from
its resemblance to the cucumber.
When this animal is attacked by an
enemy it does not stand up and fight.
but by a sudden movement it elects it's
teeth, stomach. digestive apparatus
and nearly all its intestines and then
shTiVels its body up to almost nothing.
When, however, the danger is past
the animal commences to replace the
organs which it has voluntarily parted
with. and in a short time the animal
is as perfect as ever it was.
DR.. Johnstone kept one in water for
a long time. and one day he forgot to
change the water The creature in
consequence elected its intestines and
shriveIed up, but when the water was
changed all its organs were repro
duced. Although the animal is not
eaten in Europe. it is a favOrite with
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an
important part of the industry of the
east. Thousands Of junks are annual
Iy used in fishing for trepang. as the
animals are called.-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

TOBACCO IN THE ARCTIC.
Resource of Miners When They Can
Neither Chew Nor Smoke.

Resource of Miners When They Gan
Neither Chew Nor Smoke.
"When the wind is blowing thirty
miles an hour and the temperature is
40 below it is some cold" said a man
from Alaska. "If a man used tobacco
in the ordinary way out Of doors dur
ing such weather and got his lips wet
through smoking a pipe or chewing he
would be apt TO get into trouble. First
thing he knew he'd have his lips crack
ed, and they would be raw all winter
long.
'"The regulars stationed at the mill
tary posts up in Alaska found that if
they tied a tobacco leaf in their arm
pit previous to undesired duty they
would become very sick and could pass
the post surgeon for hospital, getting
rid Of detail work they wanted to
avoid
'"The miners up there learned some
thing of this and found that the tObac-
co craving could be satisfied by bind
ing a quantity of the leaf either in the
armpit or against the solar plexus.
This avoided broken and bleeding lips
during the winter, and they weren't t
prevented from smoking indoors as
well if they wanted to. 1t was the out
door smoking or chewing that made all
the trouble. New York Sun.

THE DEAREST GIFT.
A Pathstie incident In the Life of Rob-
ert Browning Told by an Ameri-
can Traveller In Italy.

A young American woman was trav-
cling one day in an Italian railway
coach, the only other occupant OF the
compartment being an elderly gentle
man. Observing the interest of the
young woman in the country through
which they were passing and seeing
also that it was new to her, the more
experienced traveller pointed out OBJ
Jects and places of note.
From scenery the conversation drift
ed to books and authors, until some
thing suggested TO the young Ameri-
can one Of Elizabeth Barrett Brown
fng's sonnets, which she quoted.
She was astonisned and abashed be
cause the gentleman made no reply,
but during the rest of the ride sat look
ing intently out of the window. hay
ing apparently forgotten the very ex.
istence Of his travelling companion
AS they neared the station where the
young lady was to leave the car she
said timidly:
81 fear, sir, that I have offended you
Perhaps you do not like Mrs. Brown
ing's poetry"
The man slowly turned upon heI
tear dimmed eyes, and in a voice full OF
emotion he said:
Madam. that sonnet is the sweetest
as its singer was the dearest gift Goo
ever gave to me-"

ert Browning.-Youth's Companion.

TAR AND FEATHERS.
a Coat of These, Taking Several Days
to Remove, Means Excrueiatina
Torture to the Victim.

People who read of tarring and
feathering know that the punishment
is a very unpleasant one, but few i'm
agine how terribly painful and dan
gerous it is. Hardened tar is very
hard to remove from the skin. and
when feathers are added it forms a
kind of cement that sticks closer than
brother. AS soon as the tar sets the
victims suffering begins. 1t contracts
as it cools, and every one OF the little
veins on the body is pulled. causing tie
most exquisite agony. The perspira-
tion is entirely stopped, and unless the
tar is removed death is certain to en-
sue
But the removal is no easy task and
rec aires several days. The tar cannot
be softened by the application of heat
and must be peeled off bit by bit,
sweet oil being used to make the proc
ess less painful. The irritation to the
skin is very great, as the hairs cannot
be disengaged, but must be pulled out
or cut off. No man can be cleaned Of
tar in a single day, as the pain Of the
operation would be too excruciating
for endurance, and until this is done he
has to suffer from a pain like that OF
10000 pin pricks. Numbers of men
have died under the torture, and none
who have gone through it regard tar
and feathering as anything but q most

CYCLONE FORMATION.
Air Gets Warm and Light, and the
Mechanical Laws Are the Same
as In Whirlpool.

ANY one can make the exact counter
part of a cyclone if he so desires. OF
course a cyclone is caused by the air
over a big area getting warm and
light with small pressure. This air
consequently tries to rise almost in a
body and leaves partial vacuum be-
hind, but the outside cold air Tushes
in from all sides. Now, it is a scien-
tifc and mechanical truth that when a
fluid runs in from all sides toward u
central point it causes a whirlpool or
rotation of the fluid The exact anal
Ogy of a cyclone, then. although with
the fluid water instead Of air, is seen
when the stopper is pulled out of the
bottom of a basin full of water An
almost perfect vacuum. as far as the
water is concerned, is caused by the
water Immediately over the stopper
running out. The rest of the water
rushes in from all directions, and q
whirlpool is the result. There is one
difference here from the air cyclone.
In the air the force with which it
rushes toward the center greatly COM
presses the air whj'ling at that point
and makes it very dense-so dense. in
fact, that a straw carried in the cen
tral whirl can be driven into a big
block of wood without bending. OF
course in a whirlpool the water is not
compressed, remaining practically the
same in density all the time That
is one highly important property of
water; it is practically incOmpresSible.
Nevertheless it is very interesting TO
see the whirl form in a basin and
know that the mechanical laws are
the same as in the formation of cy-
clone many miles wide.-Harper
Weekly.

Cows That Never Drink

The wild cow of Arabia, in reality
an antelope. the Beatrix Oryx, is said
never to drink. which is probably cor
rect, for unless these animals can de-
scend the wells they can find no drink
jig water for ten months in the year.
There is no surface water, and rain
falls but precariOusly during the win
ter. Only once during my journey did
1 find a pool of rainwater, caught in a
hollow rock, and even this l should
have passed by without knowing Of
its existence had not my camels sniff
ed it from q distance and obstinately
refused to be turned from going in
that direction. These antelope, how
ever, are provided by nature with a
curious food supply, especially design
ed as a thirst quencher. This is a
parasite which grows on the roots of
the desert bushes and forms a long
spadix full Of water and juice. The
antelope dig deep holes in the sand in
order to get at these.-Wide World

Fast" answered the captain gruff-

A DEED OF DARING.
One Man Swan to Sinking vssssl
Twenty seven Times, Returning
Every Time With Human Being.

A historic case of daring and endur-
ence rarely equaIed in life saving an
nails was that Of the rescue Of twenty
seven souls by one man in 1861 The
fishing schooner Sea Clipper was driv-
eE by the tempest against a reef near
the Spotted islands on that coast and
speedily went to pieces. Captain VIII
liam Jackman. in charge of a fishing
crew at these islands, had wandered
in a direction he had never been be-
fore as If by inspiration and suddenly
saw the whole tragedy enacted before
his eyes. Hurrying his one compan-
ion back to the fishing station to sum-
mon help, he plunged into the bowling
swirl himself and eleven times swan
to the ship. Each time he took back
a human being to safety, battling
splendidly against wind and tide.
Then help arrived. but no means was
available of communicating with the
vessel, SO Jackman fastened q rope
around his waist and made fifteen
more trips, returning nth a castaway
on each occasion. It was then discoy-
cred that a woman had been overlook
ed and left Oh board, and the belief
was expressed that she was dead, but
he declared that he would not leave
her there, living or dead. Accordingly
he plunged into the surf again and
soon bore the hapleSs creature to the
shore, where. divesting himself Of his
fannels, he wrapped them round her,
as she was almost at deaths door She
expired a few hours later. but lived
long enough to thank her preserver
for his noble efforts in her behalf

His Bad Dream.

Truly oriental was the defense put

Charged with stealing a Hindu idol
with its ornaments, he stated that the
goddess told him in a dream the night
before that, as she was not properly

would be better taken care of by him,
a MOhammedan, and that unless he
took charge of her worship she would
in her wrath destroy his whole family.

accused to two months rigorous i'm

IT, was once made from the leaves Of
one Of our prettiest New Jersey wild

ton, when they had so much trouble
over the imported article and used
various beverages as substitutes for
that to which they had become accus-
toned.
New Jersey tea, or red root, as It is
also called, is a low growing shrub
with many branches, seldom over
three feet high. and is found from
Canada to Florida, growing usually in
dry wooded sections. It is very abun-
dant in New Jersey, for which it is
named. 1t blooms prOfuseIy in July

icled white blossoms, as to be quite
worth a place in the gardens as an
ornamental shrub. 1t has a dark red
root, with leaves dOwny beneath and
very much veined, by which it is easily
distinguished from the pure tea. An
infusion of the leaves prepared n the

grades of the tea of the orient. but is
