An Arcadia dog went mad last
week and bit five children and
one man, besides a number of
dogs that were running at large
on the streets. AS soon as it
was learned positively that the
dog had rabies, Pasteur treatment
for his victims was ordered and
the Mayor ordered that all I'M
muzzled dogs found running at
large should be shot. Twenty
eight dogs, therefore, were killed
on Monday. In view of Area
dia's trouble in this respect, we
beg to urge the mayor of Punta
Gorda to order that all dogs run
ming at large here be muzzled
forthwith, for rabies may make it's
appearance here.

BEANS AND BROWN BREAD
Appstixlns Combination Not 40 Easy
to Cook 40 Most People Seem
to Imagine.

When considering the results, the
bean and the bean pot are most i'm
portant. The bean pot must be brown
earthen, with . handle At the side
and closely fitted cover with white
glazed lining. The beans must be
pea beans. To . quart allow a pound
of salt pork, a solid chunk, lean and
fat about equally divided. Soak the
beans over night in the bean pot.
In the morning set them on the
range and let the water just come
to boil, but do not let them cook
at all after that. Drain off the water
and take out about cupful OF the
beans. Pour boiling water over the
pork and score the rind with 4 sharp
knife. Put 1t into the center OF the
bean pot and dispose the beans you
took out around it. On the rind place
a half teaspoonful of bicarbonate
of soda and three tablespoonful OF
molasses. +
Fill up the pot with boiling water,
cover closely and cook In a very slow
oven all day, filling up with boiling
water from time to time. II you use
a gas oven have the rear burner lit
and turned down to the lowest point
of ignition and the door of the lower
oven open. Ill
There are many recipes for the
so.called Boston brown bread. Some
call for rye meal and some for flour
to be used in combination with the
cornmeal. The following is the recipe
which the writer's family has used Tor
years, almost in sight of Bunker HILL
50 1t deserves the name: One cupful
Of cornmeal, one cupful of graham
flour, one cupful of white flour, three
fourths teaspoonful of soda, one tea
spoonful of salt, three-fourths cupful
Of molasses and one and three-fourths
cupfuls of sweet milk. Mix the dry In
gradients, add the milk and moiasses'
mix we'll and put in buttered molds'
Fill the molds about two-thirds FULL
leaving space for the bread to rise.
Steam until the bread is done and then
set in q hot oven to brown. TO cut
hot brown bread, draw a clean, strong
white thread sharply and firmly across
the loaf, pushing it down equally on
either side The result will be clean'
smooth slices, free from the sticki'
ness that comes from knife cutting

mixed, resulted in the good old-fash-
toned sausages of our grandmothers'
days. -.s
With the handy meat chopper house
wife may prepare few pounds OF
sausage and season 1t to suit her
family with but little trouble. The
cases for the sausage may be made
of cotton cloth, eight inches long and
three inches wide. II these bags are
boiled in sailed water and dried they
will then be ready to fill.
Pork sausaqe.-Take five pounds OF
fresh, raw pork, five teaspoonfuls Of
salt, five teaspoonfuls Of pepper, three
and q half teaspoonfuls of sage, one
teaspoonful Of summer savory, and
three.fourths of teaspoonful Of
thyme. These herbs should be meas
ured lightly, not as we usually level
OF the teaspoon when measuring.
Place all together in a large mixing
bowl and mix thoroughly before put
ting into the cases. Pack the sau.
sage into the bags, leaving two-inch
lap at the top to tie with a string
When the sausage is wanted the cloth
may be turned back and the sausage
sliced in rings.
A most attractive sausage may be
put up in corn husks and tied up
with strips Of the husk, then sacked
with the rest of the meat. The flavor
Of the corn adds to the savory sau.

Bologna sausage.-To one pint of
pig meat. lean and fat, take two pints
of beef, mix well and for each pound
of meat add teaspoonful of salt, a
half teaspoonful of pepper, and a
half Glove of garlic, finely chopped.
Put this in castings and smoke for two
weeks After smoking freeze and

Our Teachers.

1t may be safely said that many
schools In which morals are never:
taught from textbooks. or by formal
exercises, furnish most stimulating
drill in the higher and finer moralities
every day. Many of US know teach
ers, who, without much preaching, con-
yey, in all their intercourse with their
pupils, the influences, and qualities
which purify and invigorate character.
A considerable acquaintance with
teachers impresses me with the belief
that the feeling Of their responsibility
for the moral welfare of their pupils,
and their appreciation Of the values
of character, are steadily deepening
amones them No profession is so;
sacred that shallow and self-seeking
persons do not fiud place In It; but
I believe that as much seriousness and
devotion may be found among the
teachers Of our common schools as
among any other class Of persons-the

much to its credit for lovers to be
