VOGXEl%fc CO., OPIUMSXllfr-S i#Vft^iwi^^|fij^$^^ Open Secrets in Cookery, Both doctors and epicurett aroed up on rare meatthe former for digestion, the latter for taste, and that all meats and game are the better, for slight cook ing, with the exception of veal aind pork which they do not recommend at all. It is quite common now for the physi cian to order a sandwich of beefthat is, a slice of uncooked beef, minced fine, seasoned, and spread between two thin slices of bread as far more nourish ing for weak digestion than cooked meats. It is only the idea of rawness, it seems, that is in the way, and not the taste, as when it is out of sight most people can learn to take this rarest beef. This same reason that ordains that the juice must run in the leg of nyitton when the knife goes in, and the game must onlyflypast the kitchen fire, is be hind this, and herein is why broiled meats are so delicate and palatable. The outside is so quickly cooked that the juices within are not Affected by the fire. Just what happens to miUc when it is boiled, the thickening of the skin on top, and what is seen also in a hard boiled egg, occurs in meats the albu menthe nourishing qualityis hard ened and toughened when meat is too long exposed to heat. So the careful housewife, who puts her meat in the oven early, well salted, and watches it from time to time as all the juices draw out of it with the salt and the heat, until a hard, brown round or rib is ready to be put on the table, has really extracted from the meat al jnost all its nourishment, and gives the family amass of dried fibres to chew. This also explains why much (and most) frying spoils good meat The "surprise," as a French cook says, is the main thing. You must have a hot oven for whatever is to be roasted, and a bed of very hot coals for broiling, or fat that is hot enough to send up a blue smoke for whatever is to befried. Then the outside is immediately hardened over, and the rest of the process must depend upon the size of the piece. The trouble with most frying is that the fat is not hot the meat, or fish, or mush, or oysters are left to sizzle a long,time, until they gradually brown, by which time they are dry and tasteless. But the sudden plunge into smoking, not turning, fat, which the quick change of color on the surface shows, keeps all the taste and freshness in the article to be cooked. So with all roastsa very hot oven at first, and no seasoning un til the meat browns, ke@ps the juice in tact. But the joints must not be suffer ed to burn, and the oven must be cool ed off a little as soon as the outside is well coated. After this the old rule of fifteen minutes to the pound can be'everybody varied to suit taste, and as the house hold can take its meat rare. But the meat must be elastic to the pressure of the finger, or it is "done to death." Fish also niUst be rapidly cooked oys ters to be merely dropped for a moment into the boiling liquor, because the juice of these must not be suffered to toughen into leather, but tfept as nearly as pos sible uncooked. 1 Gum Arabic. The most familar objects about us are often least understood, and probably few can pause to ask the question: What is gum arabic and from whence it comes? In Morocco, about the mid dle of November (that is, after the rainy season), a gummy juice exudes spon taneously from the trunk and branches of the acacia. It gradually thickens in the furrow down which it runs, and as sumes the form of oval and round drops, about the size 04 a pigeon egg, of differ ent colors, as it comes from the red or white gum tree. About the middle of December the Moors encamp on the border of the forest and the harvest lasts a full month. The gum is packed in large leather sacks and transported on the back of camels and bullocks to seaports for shipment to different coun tries. The harvest occasion is made one of great rejoicing, and the people, for the time being, almost live on gum, which is nutritious and fattening. Such is the commercial story of this simple but useful article, Pneumonia. The many deaths from pneumonia the present and past season may render a few words about it of interest, Bron chitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes pneu monia is that of the substance of the air cells and bronchiolesthe minuter ram ifications ending in the cells. If the bronchial tubes, with their larger divk sions, may be likened to the trunk and branches of a tree, the bronchioles and air cells may be likened to its twigs and leaves. Pneumonia is essentially a fever which specially affects the lungs, as typhoid fever specially affects the glands of the intestines. It more commonly attacks the lower lobe of the right lung, and may be confined to it, or may extend successively to the middle and the up per lobes, and to the left lung. The physician can easily ascertain its loca tion and extent. The lobe attacked is first engorged (congested) with blood this is the first stage of the disease. It then becomes solidified this is the second stage. The third is that of convalescence, or of death. In convalescence the exuded matter, which had filled the cells and bronchioles, is absorbed, and the lungs resume their function in fatal cases suppuration takes place. The attack generally begins abruptly with a chill and shivering, followed soon by pleuritic pain. The matter expec torated is at first rather scanty, but lat er becomes sticky and of a rusty hue. The time from the attack to convales cence, or death, varies from a few days to about three weeks. In some cases persons have died almost instantly from suffocation, having been previously well. The most common exciting cause is exposure. It is more prevalent and more fatal at the South, especially among the colored people. In this lati tude its chief prevalence is in the win ter and spring months, but especially in May. Recovery is the rule, if the dis ease is uncomplicated, and the patient has a fair constitution and is not enfee bled.YoutWs Companion. In Vain, Alas! in Vain.

An old Colorado miner says: "While I was yet at Leadville a man came up there from Denver named. DexterJim Dexter they called himand he was full of life and hope and had some mon ey. Dexter looked about for awhile und finally bought a claim on Carbonate Hill, which haa at that time not been prospected Very well. Hepaid, I think, About $15,000 for it and set toworkput ting in machinery and sinking the shaft, which was already down some hundred feet or more. He worked away on the mine, people laughing at him a good deal, but he never once lost heart The mine had not shown up a 'single thing in the way of mineral, and the shaft had been sunk by that time several hundred feet Dexter did not know what to do. He had now spent nearly all the money he had and nothing was coming in. One day in the early part of the year 1879 a party came to him and asked him what he would take for his mine. Dex ter told hint, and a bargain was made between them. The price paid was, I think, $80,000, some $5,000 more than Dexter had spent on it altogether. He was mighty glad to get the $30,000, and thought himself wellout of a bad bar gain. He rushed out onto Carbonate Hill and ordered the miners to drop their tools and quit work. This was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He said: Boys, I have sold this dd hole, and I don't want youtowork another minute in it for me. I will pay you off right now, and you can quit* Well, the miners had just finished a drill and were going to place a blast and uncover some rocks, and they asked to be al lowed to finish it before they quit work. *No,' said Dexter, 'come out I don't want you to work any more there's nothing in the old hole.' The. fng nHftft] a tey Now, young man, what I am goinv to tell you is the sol emn truth,'" said the miner. "Those fellows went up there to that mine and laid a fuse to the blast left by Dexter's men and touched it off." After the smoke cleared away they went in to see how much rock had beenloosened,when what do you think? There before their eyes they saw the richest body of silver ore which has ever been seen since the world begun. At that time hundreds of thousands of dollars met the gaze of the delighted owners of the richest kind of ore. Well, young fellow," continued Mr. Knowles, "that mine was the cele brated Robert E. Lee, which has made rich who has hadanything to do with it since Jimmy Dexter solo: it. Millions of dollars have been turned out of it, and it is the greatest silver mine in the world." The reporter asked the miner how Dexter took the misfortune. "Well," he replied, "they say Dexter would cry for along time after whenev er he would hear'the name of the mine mentioned, but I don't know how that is. He got hold of other mining proper ty with the money received, and is now a rich man, living in Denver in fine style. He has tbe.reputation of having the most elegantly furnished house in Denver, and it surely is a beautiful place." CjuneJrBiding. On the Western plains, when the "boys" wish a little amusement with a "tender-foot," as a newcomer is called, they mount him on a breaking horse. The fun lies in seeing him illustrate the nursery doggerel, **Now you go up, now you go down." Judging from the following narrative of an Egyptian traveler's experience in riding a camel, the Arabs also have much fun in seeing a "tender-foot" riding a camel for the first time: Mounting the camel is not difficult, but it has some Weet surprises for the novice. The camel lies upon the ground with all his legs shut up under him like a jackknife: You seat yourself in the broad saddle, and cross your legs in front of the pommel. Before you are ready, something like a private earth-quake begins under you. The camel raises his hindquarters sud denly, and throws you over upon his neck and, before you recover from that, he straightens up his knees and gives yo a jerk over his tail and, while you are hot at all certain what has happened, he begins to move off with that dislocated walk which sets you into a see-saw motion, a waving back ward and forward in the capacious saddle. Not having a hinged back for this movement, you lash the beast with your koorbash to make him change his gait, He is nothing loth to do it, and at once starts into a bigh trot, which sends you a foot into the air at every step, rolls you from side to side, drives your back bones into your brain, and makes cas tanets of your teeth. Capital exercise. When you havo enough of it you pull up, and humbly inquire what is the heathen method of riding a dromedary. It is simple enough. Shake the loose halter-rope (he has neither bridle nor bit) against his neck as you swing the whip, and the animal at once swings in to an easy pace, like that of a racking horse. But everything depends upon the camel. I happened to mount one that it was a pleasure to ride, after I brought him to the proper gait. We sailed along over the smooth sand, with level keel, and on cushioned feet. But it is hard work for the camel, this constant danting of his spongy feet in the yield sand. Quick Work. The rapidity with which a sheep has been sheared, its wool spun and woven into cloth, and a suit of clothes made therefrom, prompted doubtless the fol lowing feat in iron: A mass of pig iron was cast at the blast furnace of the Calumet Iron and Steel Works at Irondale, near Chicago, one day last week, and the next morn ing in the shape of nails, it found its way into the barn being erected by the Englewood & Chicago Express Compa ny. This is believed to be the quickest work on record. The iron was placed in the boiling furnace, runthrough the squeezers, then recut reheated and rolled a second time into place Wednesday evening, and finally, sheared and cut into 20-penny nails the following morning. The en tire round of work was accomplished in eighteen hours. The usual time oc cupied is forty-eight and seventy-two hours. It is the general impression that a tin paafastene to a strange dog's tail will afford the average boy about all the fun ne wants but a dogs' teeth fastened in a boy's coat-tail hasbeen knowntogive hit companions just as much sport. Boys have no prejudices that are per mitted to interfere with their enjoy ment. ^:".tf!*V- WHOLE NUMBER 227 M. Mackart recently withdrew, with out giving notice, his picture of Sarah Bernhardt from the Vienna salon, and in its place hung the portrait of a Vien nese belle, Mme. De Teschenberg. Vis itors unfamiliar with the actress's face, not knowing of the change of pictures, were thereafter frequently heardtoex claim: "Ach, Gott! How fat Sarah is is growing!" An enterprising justice of the peace in Russell county, Alabama issued a warrant of arrest for a freedman, charg ing him with stealing rations, breaking his contract, and living in adultery with* a woman. This J. P. is an honest, clever colored man. He framed his warrant so as to cover accidents and found the prisoner guilty of living in adultery, and thereupon committed himtojau. The Russian newspapers announce that the Holy Synod is contemplating the necessity of reducing the number of religious holidays, observed by the Greek Church. The number of saints' days upon which workmen have a hol iday in the course of the year is 160, so that, instead of doing about 300 days' work in a year as in other countries, in Russia they hardly do more than 200 days. Notwithstanding the volumes which have been printed and published con cerning the capricious and gifted Sarah Bernhardt, the fact of her real name not being Bernhardt has escaped the notice of her biographers andcritics. Her real name is Sarah Ker-Bernhardt and she dropped the Ker at the request of her family when she went on the stage. Her mother, now dead, was the most dread ful old woman imaginable, and wonld have delighted the dlseasedimagination of Eugene Sue but with this exception the Ker-Bernhardt family is a worthy one, and looked at first with great dis taste upon the unsuccessful debut of Sarah.London Life. Hank Blodgett, whofor thepast twen ty years has followed sea-otter hunting on the coast of Washington territory, above Gray's harbor, says that he now averages a hundred shotsfor every otter obtained. In early times, when an ot ter was shot it would come ashore, but the animals have become so shy that unless killed instantly they put out to sea. They can not be approached now nearer than six hundred yards. Blod gett uses a Sharp's rifle, 45 caliber, car rying 120 grains of powder. The fur of the sea-otter sells from $75to$150, and is becoming more rare every sea son. Beer of German manufacture has for some time past been conveyed in large quantities by steamer from Adriatic Eut ortstoAden and other towns in Arabia so fond have tho natives become of the beverage that a temperance move ment has been started in various parts of Southern Arabia. The religious au thorities have been prominentin further ing the agitation. At Muscatit is said that all the mosques have publicly con demned German beer, and: pronounced direful future punishment on all who partake of it. The Sultan, however, permits Jews and Hindustanees to sell the drink, on condition that the object is medicinal. The number of the sick has accordingly increased in very per ceptible proportions. A very interesting lecture on appli ances for working under water or in ir respirable gases was lately read before the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, by Mr. W. A. Gorman. The first account of the use of a diving-bell in Europe is given- by Tasnier, who says that in 1538 he saw two Greeks at Tole do, Spain, in the presence of Charles V., let themselves down under water in a large inverted kettle without being wet. From this primitive contrivance to the apparatus invented by Mr. Fleuss, of London, a year or two ago, indicated the progress of divinsr, or going with im punity into places charged with suffo cating gases. The Fleuss "dress," it will be remembered, renders the wearer quite independent of any communica tion with the outer atmosphere, and he can thus breathe with safety while sur rounded with a most noxious atmosphere in mines, or explore a wreck for several hours under water. Cultivate a Sweet Voice, There is no power of love so hard to Sand et and keep as a kind voice. A kind is deaf and dumb. It may bo rough in flesh and blood, yet dot work of a soft heart, and do it wi* soft touch. But there is no one Uii-_ that love so much needs asasweet voice to tell what it means and feels, and it is hardtoget it and keep it in the right tone. Qne must start in youth, and be on the watch night and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thought of a kind heart. But this is the time when a sharp voice is most apt to be got You often hear boys and girls say words at play with a quick, sharp tone, as if it were the snap of a whip. When one of them gets vexed yon will hear a voice that sounds as if it were made up of a snarl, a whine and a bark. Such a voice often speaks worse than the heart feels. It shows more ill-will in the tone than in the words. It is often in mirth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks tohim through life, and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls like a drop of gall on the sweet Jlome 'oys at home. Such as these get a sharp voice for use and keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere,just as they would serve their bestcakes and Jorstheir tie for guests and all their sour food own board. I would saytoall boys and girls, "Use your guests voice at home.'" Watch it by the day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth moretoyou in the daystocome than the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is a lark's song to a hearth and home. It is to the heart what light is to the eye.Jewish Messenger. "The Great Beard of Bams,'' There's a plant in Ceylon that seems madetogrow where no other green thing can. The curious thing about it is the way it manages to scatterits seeds over the dry and desert places. The seeds grow in around case, shaped like a dandelion's seed-head, but much stronger and larger, being as big as a child's head. When they are ready to Se ow, the boxes of seeds gel loose from stalks, and the first strong breeze tarts them off on thesand. Away they gnjike balls, scattering the ripe seeds on their path for miles, and wherever a seed falls it takes root and grows If -the ball comestowater, it is so light that it floats easily, while the wind still carries it on. In this way the seeds are carriedtothe most barren shores, and begin the work of covering them with green. This curious plant is' the water pink, called by the natives "The Great Beard of Rama." ^*jg*5 Surmises are not facts. Suspick which may be unjust need not be r"-* Abraham. J, mz&. mm "i
