The flavor of bean soup is improved
if a few thin slices of ham .are boiled
with the beans in beef stock. They
may a removed before serving the
soup.
Arrow root is recommended as the
thickening for custards and sauces of
all kinds, both for
meats. Itj

A bit of economy is to wve. the peel
of oranges; dry it and grate it for flavor
ing mincopies and orange rakes, and
custards also. If it is dried perfectly,
and is kept in a dry closet there is no
danger of its becoming musty.
A handsome lambrequin for a corner
bracket of ebony is mad of dark blue
satin, with a band of plush or velvet
across the bottom. The satin should
be fringed out to form tho finish on
the satin paint or embroider some
streaks of golden red, with a butterfly
fluttering over them. Another pretty
way to fix a bracket is to have simply
a band of fringed out crimson satin
tacked ta it, with a delicate vine painted
in oil or water colors on it.
Sponge drops are nice to mix with
other cake in the basket. Beat four
eggs to a stiff froth; then stir in one
heaping cup of sugar and one cup and
a third of flour. One teaspoonful of
baking powder should be thoroughly
mixed with the flour. Flavor with
lemon and drop from a desertspoon on
buttered paper spread on tin plates.
The oven should be hot, and tho cakes
will bake in a few minutes. They re
quire watching, as they are very likely
to brown too much.
Here is a suggestion of value for a
small family, say for two persons.
Bake a cake in a long tin, cut it in two
parts, and put in any filling you please
You will, havetwp' nico layerscrJ the I
caKo will pronauiy oe eaten opiore it is
loo dry to be enjoyed. A good recipe
for this cake is: The whites of two
eggs, one cup of white sugar, half a
cup of milk or water, otic cup and a
'half of flour, liilf a teaspoonful of bak
ing powder. If made with caro, the
butter and sugar beaten to a cream,
and as much pains taken as if it were
an expensive cake this will be deli
cious. Happy is the woman who can have
forusein cooking genuins, freshly made
butter milk. The following recipe for
crullers is a proof of this: Half a pint
of butter milk, a small teacupfool of
butter, two cups of sugar and three
eggs. Beat the eggs and then add the
milk and sugar. Half a teaspoonful
of soda, dissolved in a little hot water
hhould then be added. Gra'e half a
nutmeg and stir in with a half a tea
spoonful of tsalt and have a teaspoon
ful of ground cinnamon of good
strength. Work in flour enough to
make a firm, smooth dough. Boll this
and cut out cakes in fancy shapes, or
I twist like ordinary fried cakes. Fry
in hot lard.
A spice cake which costs but little
and which if eaten while fresh is ex
cellent, is made after this rule: Bub
half a cup of butter and one of sugar
together, until they are light as cream.
Beat the yolk and white of one egg
separately; add this andjUno bait a cup
of snoot milk, one teasscymful eaoliof
nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves; riix one
teaspoonful of baking powder vf.h one
cup and a half of flour. Bake in a
loaf, and frost, using the white of one
egg, and frost the top only. After
spreading the frosting over it, set in
tho oven and brow it slightly. If you
chose you can vary this recipe by add
ing half a cup of raisins or currants.
A Canadian clergyman, not long
since, was called upon by an Irish girl
who inquired how much he asked for
"marrying anybody." He replied "A
dollar and a half," and Biddy departed.
A few evenings later, on being sum
moned to tho door, he .was accosted by
the same person, with the remark that
she had come to be married. "Very
well," said tha minister; but, perceiv
ing with astonishment that she was
alone, he continued: "Where's the
man!" An expression of -disappointment
arill chagrin, too ludicrous to be
described, passed over Biddy!s features
as she ejaculatedi "And don't you
find the man for a dollar and- a half.?"

THE WONDER WUtCII A WILLOW RANCH
CORRESPONDENT OF TIIK "EXAMIN
ER" ALLEGES HE SAW.
Having become somewhat dissatisfied
with the monotonous duties of my se
dentary occupation, I at last determin
ed to become a fisherman, and engage
Sling and profitable business
ncling for the finny tribe. I re-
paird to the borders of oar beautiful
Goose lake, and after catching a few
minnows weighing only two or three
pounds each, in the mouth of the creek",
myself and companion built a raft and
after providing ourselves with suitable
fishing tackle, launched boldly forth
for the middle of the lake and were
soon in the midst of a school of fish of
respectable size, where our efforts were
soon rewarded by a catch of eleven fine
fish of a sice and variety
HERETOFORE UNKNOWN
in this valley. We did not remain to
catch more, for the size and capacity of
our raft, hastily built, would not admit
of transporting them to the shore.
The raft being only forty feet in width
by two hundred in length. These fish
are truly remarkable and beautiful,
and we think can only be caught in
the center of the lake on stormy days.
They are built somewhat after the pat
tern of an ordinary fish, being, of
course, larger, as I havo intimated by
acknowledging the incapacity of our
insignificant raft to transport more
than a dozen of them. Their beau
tiful and intelligent heads measured
eleveh feet in width by fifteen in length
The size and beauty of the scales on
their bodies compare favorably with
that of a hired girl's kitchen apron, and
the size of their fins and tails can only
be compared to that of a mainsail on
an ordinary ocean sloop. The average
width of their bodies by actual measure
hjnfc-Trrjh our tajje. lifiwjyasspycntcerr
iKKt, anu mruu luciies, auu uieir leng'u
over all
SEVENTT-FOUR FEET
and nine inches. We are glad we
went fishing, for we consider the catch
truly, remarkable, but wo are con
strained to entertain the idea that as
yet none of these fish have been intro
duced in the placid waters of the beau
tiful lakes that adorn Surprise valley,
but should they in time become an in
habitant of those waters, we are in
clincd to the belief that theso amiable
fish would not condescend to feed upon
the minor edibles that the
MONSTERS AND DRAGONS
of that locality are prone to digest,
such as sheep, angora goats, deer, elk,
horses, horned cattle and the like.
No"; thy would bo quite secure, for
their size as an edible for these Goose
Lake fish is quite too insignificant.
Such trash would stick in the cavities
of their teeth and never reach their di
gestive apparratus. We must admit
(here is a little mystery as to tho nature
of the food upon which these fish sub
sist, but scieuco will yet solve that
problem. We were only too glad to
know the fish existed and that we had
met with such remarkable success.
We brought our catch ashore, and have
thus far been enabled to supply only
the inhabitants of our own valley, but
we actually contemplate a trip- to Sur
prise with a few hundred of these fish
to pay our expensed. As an ediblo
foc-ilm table, these fish have no equal;
their flavor is superb exquisite, Mr.
Editor do you eat fishl We shall be
only two happy to fill your pan.

The matter of buying and npplying
a three-cent stamp is insignificant in
itself, but the traffic in stamps for the
whole country is enormous. The
number and value of stamps, stamped
envelopes and postal cards called for
by postmasters' requisitions received
at the post office department recently
was as follows: Number of stamps,
28,000,000; envelopes, 1,000,000 postal
cards, 2,100,000; aggregate value,
700,000. These orders exceed in the
aggregate any before received in one
day. So to, would seem the business
of peddling milk. Yet the city of
London annually consumes 51,000,000
gallons of milk at a cost of about $20,
513,000. "Little drops of water" has
a double significance in this instance.

THE SAUIO.1lfMTI.IIOT OF THE .NUUTII-WtST.
One of the greatest interests of the
northwest is the canning of the mag
nificent salmon which frequent the wa
ters of the Columbia and the other
streams emptying into the Pacific
Salmon canning was begun on this
coast by the Hume brothers and An
drew Hapgood, all of them having been
engaged in salmon canning on the
Kennebec rivor jp Maine. They
opened their first cannery opposite
Sacramento city in March, 1864. In
1866, Wm. Hume, hearing something
regarding the salmon prospects of the
Columbia river, went up thflre and
found that abundance of fish were
being taken at Oak Point, Oregon, by
Joi a han Beed and his partner, two
men from Maine, who had also been
engaged in fishing on the Kennebec
DO O
river, and who had for several years
been fishing and salting salmon on the
Columbia river. William Hume re
turned, and from his reports, the com
pany decided to establish a cannery on
the Columbia, and in the fall, George
W. Hume went there and constructed
the works at Eagle Cliff, Washington
Territory. In 1867, their first season
on the Columbia, the firm packed
4,000 cases of salmon, B. D. Ilumc
and A. S. Hapgood making the cans.
From this small beginning the busi
sine.ss has advanced until there are
new on the Columbia river alone not
less than thirty-five canneries which
produced in 18S2 about 540,000 cases
of canned salmon and including the
other rivers from the Sacramento to
tho south of Alaska. On the north the
product of canned salmon for 18S2 was
not far from 1,000,000 cases with a
value of about 5,000,000.
In Mr. Hittel's "Commerce and In
dustries of the Pacific Coast" we find
the following information
e canning mteresW,
concerning
:,f tW O-
lumuia: The salmon fishery of the Co
lumbia gives employment in tho season
to 5,600 men, 3,100 Chinamen being
employed in the canneries, while 2,500
whites take chargo of tho boats and
net?. The cannery proprietors own
1,200 boats, and lease them with nets
and all tho necossary tools and sup
plies to the fishermen, a largo propor
tion of whom are Scandinavians, Ital
ians and Fins, who, as rent, must give
one third of the catch, and must sell
tin other two thirds at a stipulated
price. Each boat has two men, a cap
tain and o helper. Tha former hires
the latter boards him, and gives him
ten cents for every fish caught. Tho
fisherman who own their boats and
nets sell where they please, but usually
recieve the same price as is paid to
the men using the cannery boats. It is
expected that the captain of the boat
make at least $100 and his helper $70
a month for their labor. The average
catch of a boat for a season may be
2,000 fish worth $1,200, equivalent to
$300 a month, of which $100 is allowed
for the use of the boat and net and
other mateiK?:. The price on the Co
lumbia was sixty or sixty two and a
half cents a fish in 1881, the price
having increased gradually since 1866
(and is still increasing.) In the can
neries about 850 white men are em
ployed as superintendents, clerks, fore
men, etc, earning from $50 to $175 a
month, averaging $62. White men
make the nets, cans, boats aud cases,
and havo all the capital -in the
used in tho business. The
3,100 Chinamen receivo $372,000 for
their work of four months; the 850
whito laborers in the canneries receive
$210,000; the 2,600 fishermen, $850,
000. The wnges in tho fishing season
and cost of fish paid by the canneries
amount to $1,432,000; and of this the
4,000 Chinamen get less than a third,
while the 3,500 whites divide tho oth
er two thirds among themselves. The
proprietors get $2,750,000 for the
product leaving them $1,316,400 above
the cost of the fish and wages in the
fishing season to pay other cannery ex
ponses, interest on tho investment and
profits.
A convenient little tool
has just
been patented in Germany for boring
a hole through an opening much small
er in diameter than the hole itself.
Tho tool consists of a shank in which
small knives are concealed; the shank
is inserted into the hole, a spring at
the end is pressed, and the knives
spring out of the shank to the re
quired diiance. They are, ot course,
curvi d and shaped so that they work
together on the same principle as an
auger.
Brgarillci or the law.
A week or so ago, two Clackamas"
county citizens, who shall bo nameless,
without the fear of tho laws of Oregon
before their eyes, concluded to kill a
deer. They soon killed one and had
just finished dressing it, when a neigh'
bor happening along saw what they
were doing. For silence he demanded
and received both hams. The pair
that had killed the deer wnrn chagrined
to see the choice parts on the road to
a gridiron other than their own, but
not to be outdone nnd to get own wit It
the "reciever," they managed to bend
still another party to interefpt tho
possessor of the hams. The latter was
met in a grassy glade, his features one
broad smile, and his chuckles of satis
faction were not 'ow and smooth. The
last arrival demanded possession of tho
hams or else he would inform and the
carrier of the hams, the possessor of
the smiles and the utterer of tha
chuckles reluctantly gave them up and
went a sadder and it is hoped, which
he will be when he reads this, a 'wiser
man. The way of tho transgressor
should be always hard. "Enteprise."
Salt for Hog.
I havo seen salt fed to hogs for more
than fifty years, says a correspondent
of the "Southern Farmer," and in the
last twenty years have fed many heavy
bogs, ranging from 300 to 600 pounds
net. I fed them liberally with salt;
have never lost one nor has one been
sick an hour. These hogs have been
in a close pen, and their principal food
was corn meal made into a dough.
This dough I have salted at least onco
a day. Sometimes my hogs would fail
to clean out their trough; in that case
I would put a
salt into my
bucket, '
our it into
Id lick it up
with much re
''on to gU
I feed coals from
I niako
it a regular custom
coal, and it
is astonishing what a quantity a hog
will eat, and how healthy and robust
it will make him. Let tho hogs bava
plenty of salt and charcoal and wo
shall hear a great deal less of the
cholera.
Tramps that is "tramps" as is
"tramps," in its incipient stages, is be
ginning to developo itself in tho towns
and villages along tho main arteries of
travel in the state. It is ono of those
diseases that above all others should bo
nipped in the bud. Although a se
rious affliction to any community that
may be cursed with it, it does not ap
pear that it needs strong medicine.
Intelligent and experienced experts, all
seem to be agreed on the courso to bo
pursued, not only when the discaso has
oroken out but beforo there is any
manifestation of it at all. It acts as
a preventative as well as a cure. To
eradicate tramps from any community
give them exerciso and a low soothing
diet. The mildest case should havo
nothing stronger than bread and water
and ten hours work per day. We sug
gest that our city council put such a
prescription among our ordinances.
We tlnnk that many farmers would
tan sheep and other skins with -the
hair or wool on if thoy wero told how.
They are very convenient for sleighs,
wtlgons, house-ruga and many other
purposes, wo give the following trom
a reliable source, remarking that it is
essentially the same that we have
found in use by the trappers and hun
ters in tho wilderness: All fatty and
fleshy matter should first be removed
from tho skin, and with sheep skin's
the wool should be washed clean with
soft soap and water, and the suds bo
thoroughly washed out. For each skin
take four ounces of salt, four ounces
of alum and half an ounce of borax;
dissove these in one quart of hot water,
and when cool enough for use tan with
this mixture.
Many an old farmer will remember
that when railroads first began to bo
built it was feared that that method of
transportation would seriously interfere
with stock raising, a3 no mere horses
would be required for stage coaches.
This was a prevalent idea, but the fact
is that to day there are mere horses
engaged in hauling-produce to and
from railroad depots alone than
thi whole country possessed fifty years
ago, and stock raising is one of the most
remunerative enterprises in which a
farmer can embark.
