l HOW TO STEW A CHICKEN.
The Chicago News says :
Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, lectur
ing to the ladies of the Athemeum,
after describing the various "meth
o, of cooking meats, fish and
poultry, came to the commonplace
subject of stewing chicken. Many
housewives think they cannot be
told anything about so ordinary a
dibit, but if they will tead what
Mrs. Ewing says they will get
some new and valuable ideas.
She said slewing, when pioperly
done, was the most petfect meth
od of cooking chickens that have
reached a greater age than one
year, atul, although as ordinarily
served, it is neither tooths6me nor
inviting, when prepared according
to this receipt it makes as delic
ious a dish as desired, namely:
Before placing in the pot to stew,
cut a chicken in pieces suitable for
serving at table. Separate the
joints neatly and divide the breast
into three or four compact pieces.
Lay the gizzard, heart, wings and
leg at the bottom of the pot;
then put in the neck and bony
pieces, reserving the second joints
and breast for the top. Use a
pint of boiling water for a full
grown chicken, boil rapidly for a
few minutes, then add a teaspoon
ful each of butter and flour,
stirred in a smooth paste, cover
close and simmer gently, but in
creasing till tender. Drain into a
bowl all the broth, and set the pot
with the chicken undistuibed in
it, upon the stove. If the broth is
too fiily, skim from it so much
grease as is desired, add a spoon
fuli of ilour, stirred with a spoon
full of sweet cream or milk to a
paste, and season lightly, as the
gravy must give seasoning to the
dish. Pour the seasoned gravy
jwer the chicken, simmer"' -Ion
minutes,and serve meat and gravy
together. Pursuing essentially
the same method, stewed chicken
can be varied by using less water
and more cream or milk by
browning the chicken either be
fore or after it is cooked, and add
ing oysters, mushrooms or other
things.
And by these slight and
seemingly unimportant variations
it becomes chicken fricasec, chick
en saute, chicken marengo and so
on, until a dozen or more dishes
with fanciful foreign names are
artistically evolved from a very
bi triple, unpretentious stewed
chicken. A chicken a 3'car old
requires slewing foratleast an hour,
and each 3'ear added to the life of
the fowl necessitates an additional
hour's stewinjr.
Big Tree.
A gentleman who recently visit
ed the Skagit countrj- states that
at the mouth of Deep slough, near
the mouth of the river, is a spruce
tree, forty feet in circumferance,
-which at some time has been up
rooted and washed there, where it
will probably remain. For at least
bixty feet the tree is the same size,
and is described by our friend as
equal to the famous bir trees of
Cidifornia. JPostSntelligencer.
A mortgage for $1G0,000,000

every kind, reaWand personal, to

Britain by rail, third-class a dis

less than 3, or lo. The time
consumed in the journey is a little
less than twenty-four hours.
and Icebergs
Waters-
in Alaskan
Capt. Morse, of the schooner
Grander, states that on his recent
voyage to Alaska, he saw quite a
number of icebergs, or hummocks,
varying in size from one or two
hundred feet in length to pieces
as large as a bale of hay. This
drift ice comes from the great gla
cier in Prince Frederick sound,
thirty miles northwest of Stickine
river, another glacier in ITolcom
ba' in Steven's passage, and from
the head of Takou inlet. On the
17th of July last, Capt. Morse
counted 130 of these icebergs in
Ilolcom bay. The largest he esti
mates as about twelve feet high
from the surface of the water.
This ice is perfectly fine, and trans
parent as a crystal. As the glaciers
slowly force their way to the
shores, masses of the ice become
detached by the heat of the sum
mer sun, and fall into the salt
water. Capt. Morse sa3s that these
glaciers, when seen with the set
ting sun shining on them on a
clear still afternoon, present a
spectacle of unparalleled beauty;
the ice glitters from every juttjng
point like countless diamonds, and
the solid body of the glacier show
ing the most vivid colors, from
delicate pink to deep sky blue.
Capt. Morse states that, on one oc
casion, Capt. Carroll, of the steam
er Eureka, ran the stem of the
vessel gently against one of these
transparent icebergs and detached
a large piece of ice which was
taken on board the steamer for the
use of the passengers, who enjoy
ed the fun as well as the ice. AVe
predict that it will not be long be
fore Yankee enterprise will make
those glaciers available to com
merce. Puget Sound Argus.
On the eve of the Yorkshire
election Mrs. Wentworth Beau
mont (a great coal owner), an aged
lady, drove in her chariot and four
to Downing street, and sought an
interview with the , then prime
minister, with whom she was well
acquainted. "Well, my lord, are
you quite determined to make
your man stand for your scat?"
"Very well. 1 am on my way to
Yorkshire with $400,000 in my
carriage for my man. Try and lo
better than that.5 Lord Dacre
who told this story, said that he
liati known the government to
spend $200,000 secret service
money on an election.
Those whe contemplate moving
to FargOjD. T., should go prepared
to encounter difficulties, if the fol
lowing story be true. A man ob
served a tall silk hat in the middle
of the street, and he waded out to
get it. On taking it up he was
astonished to see a human face
looking at him. lie offered to
help the unfortunate man out of
the mud, and received the reply:
"I ain't stuck in the mud; I'm sit
ting on the top of an omnibus
down here.
An Arkansas editor, in retiring
from the editorial control of a
newspaper, said: It is with a feel
ing of sadness that we retire from
the active control of this paper,
but we leave our journal with a
gentleman who is abler than we
are, financially, to handle it. This
gentleman is well known in this
community, lie is the sheriff.
ArJcansaio Traveler.
Inquiries at the Bureau of
Immigration for Oregon and
Washington elicit the fact that
about eighty per cent, of the white
steerage passengers who arrived
within the last month are actual
settlers. Each family brings from
500 to 1,000 in cash, and more
than half of them bring their house
hold effects.
Glacieis
Coiean Troubles
Washington. Sep. 4. Rear
Admiral Clitz, commanding the
Asiatic station has made" a report
to the department on eastern af-1
fairs under date of Yokohama,
Aug. 19th. He states on the 1st
of August news was received at
Yokohama of the outbreak of the
anti-foreigji party in Corea. Sev
eral Chinese had been murdered
and a numberof Japanese escaped.
Great excitement prevailed at Yo
kohama, and it was thought Japan
would declare war, but later news,
while confirming the outrage on
the Japanese minister, showed the
move was not national, and the
queen and man' prominent mem
bers of the progressive party were
killed during the attack on the
palaces which occurred about the
same time (about July 23d). Ad
miral Chtz said the Japanese gov
ernment has been prompted in
making preparations for guarding
the interests of its people, several
war vessels having been sent to
Freson with troops and policemen
on board. Tie learned through
the American minister there was
no intention to declare war, but
simply to re-establish the minister
with proper dignity and guard the
legation and afford a place of
refuge for their subjects in case
of further trouble. The Japanese
do not regard the outrage as a
radical one. August 1st, Admiral
Clitz read a telegram from Minis-
r Young, informing him of this
outrage and suggesting that he
send a vessel to Corea to assist
American interests. Before acting
on this dispatch he received a de
partment telegram of August 2d,
informing him that the treaty with
Corea would be ratified and di
rected him to communicate with
Minister Young.
Troubles in Mexico.
Tomhstoxi:, Ar., Sept. o. The
Epitaph has information from So
nora that an impending civil crisis
is about to explode, and a state of
dread and uncertainty exists along
the Sonora valley. Nearly every
gun shop in Tombstone has been
cleaned by Mexicans, who como
by dozens, buying up all the arms
and munitions of war that can be
obtained, and rushing back again.
It is understood that Governor Or
tiz has ordered a draft of all the
able bodied men in the state to
sustain him.
Consent Given.
COXSTAXTIXOPLE, Sot)l . I.
Lord Duflerin yesterday informed
the sullau he had been authorized
to assent to the landing of two or
three thousand Turkish troops at
Port Said. It is understood Der
vish Pasha will command the
expedition and Bnker Pasha be
his chief of staff.
Mr. W. II. Byars, win was
elected to the office of state prin
ter at the last election, has con
sulted Judge Watson, whose opin
ion is that the -present printer, Mr.
Odell, is entitled to hold the office
for the ensuing two years. Mr.
will not, therefore, claim the office.
Mr. Odell's successor will be elect
ed at the next biennial election.

Cinchona Iluliro.
TI10 Count Ciiielion was the Spanish
Viceroy 111 IVru in UUX). The Countess
"lfa wife, was prostrated by an intermit
tent fever, from which she was freed by
Iho. use of. the native remedv. the Peru
vian bark. or. as it was railed in the
language 01 me eoutury, -quinquina.
Grateful for her recovery, on her return
to Europe in HEM, she inlioiluml the
remedy in Spain, where it was known
under various names, until Jmnanis
called it Cinchona, in honor of the ladv
who had brought them that which was
more precious than the gold of thelncas.
To this day. after a lapse of two hun
dred and fifty years, science has siven
us nothing to take its place. It elnvtu
ally cures a morbid appetite for .siiinn
lants, by restoring the natural tone of
the stomach. It attacks excessive love
of liquor as it does a fever, and destioys
bothalike. The powerful tonic urtue
of the Cinchona is preserved in the
Peruvian Hitters, which are as efTcethe
against malarial fever to-day as tliev
were, in the days of the old Spanish
Viceroys. We guarantee the fmrrcdi
ents ot these, bitters to be absolutely
pure, and of the be-st known quality.
Atrial will satisfy y(u that this is the
bc&t bitter in the world. "The proof of
the pudding is in the. entinj:." and we
willingly abide this test. For sale by
all druggists, grocers and liquor dealers.

A cough, cold or bore throat .should lie
stopped. Neglect frequently results, in
an incurable lung disease or consunii
tion. JJrown's Dronchial troche do not
disorder the stomach like cough .syrups
and balsams, but act directly on the in
named parts, allajing irritation, give
relief in asthma, bronchitis, coughs,
catarrh, and the throat troubles which
singers and public speakers are subject
to. For thirty years Urown's bronchial
troches have been recommended bv
physicians, and ahvavs give perfect
satisfaction. Having beeii toted bv
wide and constant use for nearly an en
tire generation, they have attained well
merited rank among the few staple
remedies of the age. Sold at 2." cents a
oox everywhere.
The best family remedy is un
doubtedly Pfunder's Oregon lilood

relief where many other medicines
