Handy Contrivance For
Pressing Meats.
An Invention intended for many uses
In the kitchen Is the meat press nb'iv.
shown, designed by a Wisconsin man
For making pressed chicken, von I 'it
other meat loaf and for complex ln,r
meat for sandwiches this livf i
suited. In appearance the itfialr U
much like a letterpress, except that
the lower portion, Instead of being a
flat plate, is a box deep enough to hold
a large quantity of meat. The meat
or fowl is chopped up into large
chunks and deposited In this box. The
press is then screwed down until the
contents of the box is compressed Into
a solid piece, from which slices may
bo cut as from a loaf of bread. This
is especially handy for making sand
wiches, as It eliminates all waste and
does not necessitate the slicing of the
roast or fowl only where large pieces
of meat can be obtained.
Kitchen Wisdom.
Salt meat and soup meats should be
put Into cold water. Skim frequently
and carefully.
.Meat should boll slowly and steadily.
Rapid or intense boiling hardens the
flbrlne. If more water is needed It
should be added when boiling hot.
A very hot iron should never be used
for flannels or woolens.
Mice are fond of pumpkin seeds, -so
bait the traps with them.
To glaze pie crust beat one egg or
the white alone and rub it over the
top of the pie.
To prevent a soggy undetfcruBt on
the bottom crust of fruit pies or any
other juicy kind. If it Is rubbed over
with a beaten egg It will be a sure pre
ventive of its being soggy;
Winter succotash can be made ot
dried beans and canned corn. Warm
them over with a little milk and but
ter and thicken the milk with flour.
Codfish and Cream.
Pick up and soak without boiling n
pint of salt fish for each four persons
to be served. Scald one quart of milk
In double boiler, with butter size of
small egg and when at boiling point
add one rounding tablespoonful flour
carefully blended In cold milk. If an
egg can bo spared, beat It well and add
it with the flour to the hot milk. Add
salt if necessary. Have ready two
hard boiled eggs nnd a tablespoonful
of chopped parsley. Pour codfish and
cream on to a largo platter. Around
the edge place strips or rings of the
hard boiled egg whites. Grate the
yolks over the whole. Sprinkle with
paprika and chopped parsley and servu
with mealy baked potatoes.
Creamed Crabs In Ramekins.
Remove the meat from six crabs and
season with salt, a dash of cayenne
and nutmeg and one tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Cook one tablespoonful of
flour In one tablespoonful of butter till
well blended, add gradually one cup of
rich milk in which one saltspoonful of
soda has been dissolved, stir until
smooth, add the seasoned crab meat,
bring to the boiling point, add the
beaten yolks, of two eggs and remove
at once from the fire. Turn Into but
tered ramekins, cover with buttered
crumbs and brown In a hot oven.
Baked Applo Dumplings.
Make a stiff paste of two cupful
tluur. two tnblespooufuls lard or two
thirds of a cup of butter (It is ulcer), a
teuhpoonful salt and one of baking
powder. Ituball together and moisten.
Do uot knead. Roll out one-eighth Inch
thick, cut up in squares and All with
pared and quartered apples to fold
over and make like snowballs. Bako
as pies. Make sweet boiled sauce end
servo hot.
Hot Water Gingerbread.
One cupful of molasses, one tea
spoonful of soda, one tpaspoonful of
ginger, one tablespoonful of butter or
lard (a pinch of salt If you uso lard).
Stir this together and pour on a half
cupful of boiling water and add ono
pint of flour. Uako in n sheet tin. It
is vcy nice if pains are taken to have
the water boiling and to beat it well
after the flour la added.
A Good Whitewash.
A good whitewash for lnsldo work,
one that will not scalo or rub off, la
mado In this way: Into a gallon of
jiwcct milk stir air slaked llroo until
the mixture Is a little thicker than
cream; tint any color desired, using
luko colors In powder, Add a cupful
of spirits of turpentine, stir -well and
apply with a soft paint brush.

OREGON'S EXPERIMENT.
It Contemplates a New Form of CH?te
Government.
Besides pointing tho way for tvik
Ing United States senators responsi
ble to tho peoplo, Oregon is ndvanclng
in other directions In tlip science of
government.
Presently wo shnll see nine-tenths
of the elective officers of Oregon elimi
nated. Governor, auditor, legislators
will be elected, but tho Governor will
appoint all other executive officers,
and must stand responsible for them.
The Governor nnd cabinet, as Is the
Canadian custom, will have seats In
the house. Three government ad
visers, experts In administration, will
bo chosen, and every three months
every householder In Oregon will re
ceive a copy of the official gazette re
porting every act of gove-nment.
In other words, the people of Ore
gon are going to apply o p'lte govern
ment a variation of the commis? on
system which has eoI -ed municipal
problems with such succe:s In several
middle class cities.
The machinery of government In
this country Is too complicated, too
heavy. Its very unwltldlne?s is an aid
to corrupt politics and the stronghold
of bossism.
Any means of slmp'lfying govern
ment will be welcome, and every
state In tho Union should watch Ore
gon closely in hep experiments in
that direction. Chicago Journal.
New Salad Flantc.
Salads and their constituents form
an ever green topic with epicurean
writers, and especially during recent
years much has been written about
the hosts of neglected wild plants
which mnke excellent eating.
Tho Royal Horticultural Society is
about to undertake an extensive ex
periment in this connection, at tho so
ciety's gardens at Wlsley, Surrey, for
planting with many thousands of
strange plants reputed to be good for
salads.
S. T. Wright, superintendent of the
gardens, stated tHat the aim of the ex
periment Is to discover what varieties
of plants can be used for salads.
"Much has been said about the good
qualities of hundreds of plants which
only a few persons have ever really
tested. We shall try everything we
can get hold of which in any way can
be considered good for salad purposes.
"The plants and their varieties
may run into tens of thousands. Many
of them will be introduced from the
Continent and from America, and
there is no doubt that a large number
will be wild plants." London Mail.
Star-Wells.
The hills in the neighborhood of
Nice are cut and seamed with remark
able gorges, among which are found
deep holes locally known as puits aux
etolles, or star-wells. They are bo
called because of the belief that from
their bottoms stars can be seen even
in daylight, although It has been
proved that the old notion that stars
can be seen in the daytime from the
bottom of deep wells is untrue. These
abysses have been formed by the
action of water, and at the bottom
there Is usually an opening into a
narrow gorge, by which the water
escapes. Some of them contain cas
cades. The greater number of the
puits aus etooles are so profound and
narrow that the rays of the sun never
reach their deeper parts. They are
always very moist, and the temper
ature in them is almost Invariable.
Below the point to which the sunlight
penetrates the only vegetation is roosa.
For the Sake of Science.
Prof. Angelo Mosso of Turin, Italy,
la well known for his many experi
ments relating to human physiology.
Tho confidence that his scientific
kndwledgo inspires was recently il
lustrated by one of his fellow citizens,
Teodoro Scrlbante, who placed himself
unreservedly In Professor Mosso's
hands for confinement in a hermeti
cally sealed chamber where nlr mixed
with increasing quantities of carbonic
oxide was administered to him. When
the proportion' of carbonic oxldo to
ajr rose to ono part in 233, Slgnor
Scrlbante fell into a cataleptic state,
from which ho was rescued with tho
aid of oxygen. The object of the ex
periment was to determine how much
carbonic oxide In the air Is fatal to
human life.
A Census of Bacteria.
Doctor Ehrllch, a physician of
Strassburg, Germany, has recently
published the results of an examina
tion, made at the University of Stmss
burg, of the colonies of bacteria resid
ing on the surface of unwashed fruit,
taken from the markets. He computed
tho numbers of bacteria found on half
a pound of each of the fruits named as
follows: Huckleberries, 400,000; dam
sons, 470,000; yellow plums, 700,000;
pears, 800,000; gooseberries, 1,000,000;
garden strawberries, 2,000,000; rasp
berries, 4,000,000; grapes, 8,000,000;
currants, 11,000,000; cherries, 12,000,
000. Doctor Ehrlich advises thatffruit
bo cleansed by the use of running wu
ter. Wireless Telegraphy on Railroads.
The administration of the Prussian
railroads has recently experimented
with wireless telegraphic signals on
the line between Berlin nnd Boelltz,
employing a train of four cars carry
ing antennae and receiving apparatus,
the transmitting apparatus being In
stalled between Berlin" and Sanger
hausen, The transmitting wire was
suspended upon telegraphic poles for
a distance of 200 feet, about a foot be
neath the ordinary telegraph-wires.
Within a dlstanco ot about seven and
a halt miles, on each side of the trans
mitting station, the signals were clear
ly and distinctly receiving on the mov
ing train.
NOBLE OYKEMAN
Henry DyUemiin mind was occupied
with deeds of daring. Our little set of
newspaper reporters Dykcmnn was
ono of us was constantly treated by
him to some fanciful exploit in which
ho had been engaged, though he mod
estly left all the credit to some one
else. At one time ho had come upon
a man overpowered by footpads Just
In time, with tho assistance of others,
to drive tho rascals off. At another he
had rescued a child from tho fourth
story of n burning building, mention
ing, by the way, thnt a woman had
been rescued from the fifth story by
some ono else under far more dtfllcr.lt
circumstances. Then there were con
stant encounters with men In the
"dives," where Dykcman considered It
necessary to go in the pursuance of
some of Ills assignments for criminal
news. Occasionally some one not ac
quainted with him would hear hi m re
count these episodes nnd sneer, but
those of us who belonged to the
"gang," as we disrespectfully referred
to ourselves, believed that Dykcman
was simply suffering from having got
Into the wrong sphere of llfo nnd his
stories of adventure were hissings of
steam from his safety valve.
"You v.( it- missing last night, Dykc
man." 1 would say to him at dinner
when wi- w to assembled nt tho little
restaurant i.i i'.k alloy where wo all
dined togoth"i "Where do you spend
your evenings when o" duty?"
"Last night let me sec. Ah, I re
member! Last night I was walking
on street when a womau threw up
a window in a house I was passing
and cried for help. I went In and
found a thief, who had got into the
second floor of the house while the
family were at dinner, just climbing
down a latticework from a rear porch.
I reached over nnd, seizing his coat
collar, drew him up. Just then n po
liceman entered, and I turned him
over."
"Did any one else come in for any of
the credit?" asked one of tho gang.
"Yes; It was all duo to the woman
who called for help. She had Induced
the man to enter a closet ty assuring
him that he would And the silver there,
and when she got him In she slammed
the door and turned the key. How
ever, the door was frail, and ho broke
It down. I tell you she was plucky,
that woman."
"But where were you the night be
fore and the night before that? You
are never with us any more. Do you
rescue some one every night?"
A pained expression came over his
face, and I hastened to add:
"Never mind, dear boy. You shall
spend your evenings where you please."
Nevertheless curiosity got the better
of us, and many were our discussions
as to bow Dykeman occupied his lei
sure hours. One said that he was se
cretly taking boxing lessons, another
that be bad joined the militia and was
giving all his spare time In drill. Dyke
man himself when twitted with the
subject gave out that he had a Job to
shadow a multimillionaire.
Time gave no explanation, so at last
we concluded to hunt up one for our
selves. Choosing an evening when we
were nil off duty together, we made
our arrangements to follow E "-eman.
"Will you go to the theater .
ing?" I asked him. "We are a.i
tonight and can take in any show you
like."
"Thanks. I would like to be with
you, but you see"
"I don't see."
"Well, then, there Is a bank"
"Which is to be robbed tonight.1'
"How did you know that?"
"Never mind. Go on."
"They need some man who Is quick
on the trigger, who has plenty of
muscle"
"That will do. Business before pleas
ure. You can go to the thenter with
us some other evening."
We left Dykcman sitting over a glass
of sour wine and sallied forth, osten
sibly to the theater, really to places of
concealment, from which jve watched
till he came out, then followed him.
ne soon stopped at a candy store,
from which he emerged with a paper
of sweets.
"Is ho going to head off the bank
robbers by peppering them with buu
bons?" remarked one of the "gang."
A second stop was at a fruit stand,
where ho purchased some luscious
poaches and yellow bananas.
"I see," said another. "He's going
to scatter the skins on the floor in
front of tho vault, nud tho robbers
will And their feet in the air and
themselves ou their backs."
Thero were no more stops till Dyke
man entered a little frame trap on the
outskirts of the city. He went in at
tho door, and wo took position at tho
window. A dim-light shone within,
and there was half an luch of space
between tho wind6v shado and sill
through which we peered from tho
outside. A little girl of somo seven
or eight years was lying on a couch.
Her cheeks were thin, her eyes were
large and lustrous with disease, and
t.'.elr expression as they Aarod upon
tho great muscular Aguro of Dylomau
was that of one who had wnltod hun
grily for him ail through tho day. She
threw her thin arms about him as he
bent over her nnd patted his broad
back, tho only manifestation of her
delight vlsiblo to us now that ho was
between her nud us. Then tho candy,
ind tho fruit camo out, and then
Then something like shame came
over us for eavesdropplug, and ono by
ono wo drew away from tho window
and tho sight of this man, who was
screening his tenderness aud gentleness
with his stories of muscular prowess,
md tho child ho had rescued and to
whom ho was devoting hn

The English Manor House Bathroom.
A writer in tho American Magazine
gives the following directions by which
a visitor may always find the house
hold bathroom in an old English man
or house:
"The household bathroom may be
reached by descending the narrow
stone steps from the second floor back
of the uorth battlement. Follow the
fall in a southeasterly direction until
you come to the armor gallery, then
turn sharply to the left and follow the
corridor to the top. Open the door at
the end of this long hall nnd take a
half flight of stone stops (Oliver Crom
well once kissed a serving maid In this
dark passaget on the right and pass
Into the open hall at the end. You will
easily discover the bathroom, because
It is the fourth door from the mulllon
window, a beautiful piece of glass of
Charles II.'s time."
Didn't Like Course Dinners.
A colored woman, native of the
south, had been working for a flat
dwelling family of moderate means In
the east end. but resigned recently to
accept a place bringing higher wages
with a wealthy family who live in a
large house on Euclid heights and
have their dinner served In courses
every night just as If there was com
pany. This colored woman had been
brought up to put everything on tho
table at once, with the exception pos
sibly of the dessert, and did not take
kindly to the course system. A few
days ngo her former mistress met her
on the street and inquired how she
liked her new place.
"Oh, not ve'y well," she replied. "I
don't like this hyah wny of su'vin'
