According to DIR. Endemann, an
excellent method of preserving meat
consists in cutting it into thin slices.
and drying it in current of warm air
not exceeding 140 degrees F. The
operation should be completed in three
or four hours, in which case the pro-
duct is hard, and may be easily ground
up in mill, whenG is in a condition
fit for use The fibrane and albumen
are not coagulated, and consequently
are still able to take up water, and thus
expand to their natural condition. The
powder prepared in this way has a light
brownish-yellow color, slight smell
like that of roast beef, and : v Y pleas
ant taste. For making 5 -, two
ounces are to be boiled, with the usual
ingredients, in sixteen ounces of water.
Such soup is much stronger than when
prepared with half pound of fresh
uncut meat, as the latter does not give
out its extractive material so completely
after any amount of boiling.

"And how did you come by these

"Spoons, you jackanapes ~ said the cap
tain, "duelling pistols"


"Do you call these pistols ?" said the
policeman, holding up to view one Of the
silver spoons, marked T. B.


The captain, astonisbed, gasped "It is
the wrong valise again, after ALL"


"Stop not SO fast p said the police
functionary, now invested with great dig
nifty by the Importance of the affair he
found himself engaged in. eff SO be how
you've got the lady's valise, she is all right,

The dispute waxed fast and furious.
The outsiders began to take part in it, and
there is no telling how it would have ended
had not an explosion, followed by heavy
fall and a scream from pain, been heard in
an adjoining room.


The crowd rushed to the scene Of the
new attraction.


The door was fast. 1t was soon burst
open and the mystery explained. The
thief who had carried off the captains va
lise by mistake for his own, had taken it
up to his room and opened it to gloat over
the booty he supposed it to contain, thrust
ing his hands in after the spoons. In doing
so the pistol had gone off, the bullet max
ing round hole through the SIDE of the
valise, and corresponding hole through
the calf of his leg.


The wounded rascal was taken in charge
first by the policeman, and then by the
doctor; and the duellists and the wedding
party struck up a friendship on the score Of
their mutual mshap, which eliminated in
a supper, where the fun was abundant, and
where it would be hard to say which was
in the best spirits, the captain for recover
ing his pistols, the bride for getting hei
night-cap, the bridegroom for escaping the
station-house, or the duellists for escaping
each other. All resolved to "marL thai
day with white stone." and hencefortf
to mark their names on their black travel

a word of Spanish and he was almost
equally ignorant of English. He made
me understand by words and signs that
he had lost all his money playing monte

sell me back my pistol for couple OF
ounces.


He was awake when got up, and
intended to make the offer before my

therefore speedily jumped on the feet

a sixth. Upon the day of the wedding
a man called at the house Of the groom

The farmers constitute the true land
ed interest of the country. 1t is the
most fixed and permanent interest in
the State or the nation 1t is the only
interest that cannot move away, or run
away, or be driven away. 1t is the in
terest which underlies all others, and on
which, as on a foundation, all others
depend 1t is the fundamental basis of
the whole social, political and economic
structure. If it prospers, the State and
the nation prosper if it languishes, the
State and the nation lang,lish destroy
it, and the State and the nation must
inevitably perish. 1t is not SO with
any other interest that can be seen or
imagined. Capital is stream of water,
flowing whithersoever the attraction for
the time being is greatest. To-day it is
in New York, tomorrow in London, the
day after in Paris or Vienna. Nothing
on earth is more unstable, less fixed,
less permanent, less to be depended on.
When most needed, panic drives it to
hiding place, even to the opposite side
of the globe. War annihilates it, and
puts debt in it's stead, which land only
is left to pay. The land only is the
ever-reliable basis of the State.

If cold settles on the outer coverings
of the lungs, it becomes pneumonia, in
fammation of the lungs, OF lung fever,
and in many cases carries of the strong
est man to the grave within a week. If
cold falls upon the inner covering of
the lungs, it is pleurisy, with its knife
like pains and its slow, very slow recov-
cries. If a cold settles in the Joints,
there is rheumatism, with the agonies
of pain, and rheumatism of the heart,
which in an instant sometimes snaps
asunder the cords of life with no friendly
warning. 1t is the utmost practical i'm
portance, then, in the wintry weather,
to know not so much how to cure a cold
as to avoid it. Cold always comes from
one cause-some part of the body being
colder than natural for a time. If a
person will keep his feet warm always,
and never allow himself or herself to be
chilled, he or she will never take cold in
a lifetime and this can only be ac-
complished by due care in warm cloth
ing and avoidance of drafts and ex-
posure. While multitudes of colds come
from cold feet, perhaps the majority
arise from cooling off too quickly after
becoming little warmer than is natural,
from exercise Or work. or from confine-
ment to warm apartment.

We subjoin the following description of
its appearance At the left is beauti-
fully executed vignette of Samuel Dex-
ter, Secretary of the Treasury in 1901,
occupying nearly half the face. The
words "Fifty cents" appear in dark
scroll-work parallel to the right border.
The same in figures ornaments the two
left-hand corners of the face, the two
right hand corners of the back, and is
also seen in figures of large size in the
center of a circular piece of green scroll
work that forms the back of the vignette.
The national arms in scroll-work is
among the ornaments of the face The
Spinner signature presents the old pc
culiarities. Upon the back is the
familiar legend, instructing the people
in what sums and for what the bill is
receivable. The peculiar qualities of
the paper and the abundant scroll work
will make it next to impossible to coun-
terfeit it.

A GOOD STORY TELLER. The New
York S0a's st. Paul, Minnesota cor
respondent Wandering Minstrel, in
late issue ofthat metropolitan journal,
says:


In Minnesota it is SO cold that even
st. Paul freezes up. The people out
there warm their hands by lump of
ice. 1t is an awful cold place. There
was a friend of mine out there last
winter: he went to chase bear, but
the bear chased him. He wasn't
afraid, only he climbed a tree to get
out of the way, leaving his gun on the
ground. The bear longed for a savory
mess, and not knowing that he chewed
tobacco and drank rum he did picket
duty around that tree until my friend
drew forth his whisky flask from his
breast and poured it down on the gun.
The whisky troze in one solid streak
from the flask to the gun, and my
friend took hold Of that frozen streak
of whisky and drew his gun up hand
over hand, and shot the bear. For
the truth of this, | refer you to st,

DEEP SEA CURRENTS. TS.-The princi-
Piles involved in the circulation of the
waters Of the sea were beautifully
shown before the Royal Geographical
Society by simple experiment. A
trough with plate-glass sides, about
six feet long and a foot deep, but not
more than an inch wide, was filed
with water. At one end a piece OF
ice was wedged in between the sides
to represent the polar cold; while the
tropic heat was represented at the
other end by bar OF metal laid across
the surface OF the water, the project
ing end Of which was heated with q
spirit lamp. Red coloring matter
was then put in at the warm end, and
blue at the cold end, so that the cur
rents could be traced. The blue water,
chilledby contact with the ice, immedi-
ately fell down to the bottom, crept
slowly along, and gradually rose
toward the surface at the equatorial
end. after which it gradually returned
along the surface to the starting point.
The red water erept first along the
surface to the polar end, then fell to
the bottom just as the blue had done,
and formed another stratum, creeping
back again along the bottom and com
ing to the surface. Each color made
a distinct circulation during the half
hour in which the audience viewed the
experiment.

Justice Chase there will disappear from

whom President Lincoln called into his
Cabinet during the war of the rebellion.


Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Fessenden and
Chase were men Of diverse character and
qualities, but each in bis own way was un-
rivaled. In the high arena of Senatorial
debate Mr.. Fessenden was the master of
them all. In the capacity of War Minister,
with million of men in the field, not one
of them could have matched Stanton's i'm
perious energy. In the direction of our
foreign affairs, neither could have exhib-
ted the copiousness, the fertility, or that
genial felicity of exposition that marked
Mr.. Stewards diplomacy. And it is not
too much to say that no man in the whole
country could have equaled Mr.. Chase in
that most embarrassing task of all-the
