HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Newspapers in the Kitchen.
has Any properly abundance conducted household
an of old newspapers.
Many uses can be found for them, but
none more important than in the kitchen.
Nothing is better for cleaning lamp
chimneys. Instead of blacking the stove
every day, take a newspaper and rub off
the covers and top of the stove while still
warm. If grease is spilled on a cover,
turn it over and let it burn off before
attempting kettle and to clean. coffee Brighten up the
tea pot by the same
means. If you have a greasy skillet or
pan, wipe out with a piece of news¬
paper before washiug. The paper will
absorb most of the grease, and hot water
with a little sal soda or washing soda
will complete the cleaning with less
detriment to the hands than usually ex
peiienced.— Farm , Field and Stockman.

Why Uncooked Meat Spoils.
For some hours after an animal is
killed the muscular fibers are soft, and
consequently tender; it is only after all
vital heat has passed away that the flesh
becomes hard from the gradual stiffen¬
ing of condition its muscular portions. Once is that
tense of the tissue estab¬
lished it remains until the relaxation sets
in which relaxation precedes the decomposition; and with
this flesh softens; it
becomes tenderer as it progresses until
the meat is upon the verge of putrefac¬
tion. Until the meat taints it is suitable
for food. When meat is upon the verge
of putrefaction the color becomes very
dark, the odor gradually offensive, and
the fibers moist and soft; as putrefaction
s d vances a peculiar greenish, damp mould
forms uj.on the exposed surfaces, and
the odor grows intolerable. Heat
and moisture favor this destruc
tion of called animal tissue, which is
commonly tainting. which In damp
summer weather meat has been
preserved by the is agency exposed of ice spoils
quickly after it probably to because normal
summer temperature,
this generally When freshly combines killed heat meat and is moist¬
ure. sub¬
jected to a dry summer heat it is rapidly
converted into the well-known “jerked
beef” of the plains; this method of
preservation primitive Meat is as widely dried known the as it is
and after by action of
sun air, being cut in strips, is
subseqentlv powdered and mixed with
fat in the form of pemmieau. Hunters
and explorers prefer this preservation
of meat to any other because it yields
the greatest amount of nourishment in
relation to bulk. The preparation of
pemmican is quite within possibilities
for housholders who are removed from
trade centers, when they do not wish to
salt meat.— Housewife.

Food for Building Brawn.
“What is the best food for producing
muscle'” Some foods are particularly
muscle-formers; others produce fat, and
still others brain and nerve, while most
of the common articles of diet combine
these uses in varying degrees. But the
question, to cover our physical needs,
requires to be broadened into this:
Wbat combination of food will best
nourish the modified body? Even then the answer
must be to suit individual
cases. For the digestive power differs
greatly in different persons. Moreover,
different there is an bodily independence and between the
organs tissues, so
thst the body must be built up as a
whole. If one part lacks, the other
suffers, and if one part is overfed, the
others will be underfed Thus a person
who becomes unduly fat loses in muscu¬
lar fiber, either in quantity or quality.
So, too, muscular development may be
carried to such excess as to impoverish
the brain, and also to reduce the fat of
the body below what is necessary both
as surplus food laid up for emergencies,
and changes as a of protection against The best sudden food
producing temperature. therefore,
for muscle, must,
while being duly appetizing, contain a
large per cent., first, of nitrates for the
the muscles; second, of phosphates
for the brain and nerves; and,
third, of carbonates for the fat.
Of the first class, the nitrates, beans
stand at the head at twenty-four per
cent.; then peas at twenty-two; cabbage
and salmon at twenty; oats at seventeen;
eggs and veal at sixteen; and beef at
fifteen. Of the second class, the phos
phates, then codfish salmon stands beef first and at seven;
at six; eggs at
five; beans and veal at four; and cabbage,
peas, and oats at three. Of the third
class, the carbonates, butter stands at the
head at one hundred; rice at eighty;
corn and rye at seventy-two; wheat at
sixty-nine; oats at sixty-six; and peas at
sixty; beans at iifty-seven; fried cabbage
at forty-six. Fresh codfish, about in fat
or served with butter gravy,
equals beef in all respects, and so do eggs
fried in fat. Beef with cabbage makes
a very nutritious diet. But we must
add: first, the mere eating of food can
not make muscle; the muscles must be
called into vigorous daily exercise, excessive yet
without ing is weakening, overdoing; and second, must be avoided; eat
it is the amount digested and assimilated
that tells, not the quantity taken into
the stomach ; third, ail the laws of health
must be steadily observed. — Argonaut.

A Curious Cane.
Mr. E. G. Osgood, of Maine, has a
curious walking cane. is The white stick is oc¬
tagon in shape, and of maple
with cherry head, the entire displaced body being
made hollow, with the wood
m ade into different designs and left in
t jje follow space. In the carved head is
se j. a compass; in the first joint or hol
low space ^ are three loose balls; in the
secon three dice; in the third, a
mounted cannon; in the fourth, a roll
in f £ piu . in the fifth, a chain; in the
si t a sailor’s log, and in the seventh,
a dumb-bell and nondescript somewhat
resembling an hour glass. The whole is
tipped off with an octagonal ferrule of
brass. In circles around the eane is the
following inscription:* “Made by E. G.
Osgood, Portland. Me., in 1B84. Total
abstinence from all that intoxicates—E.
G. O.” Mr. Osgood has been stick offered
quite a sum of money for the to
place in the Boston museum. —Detroit

An Indian Fighter.
“I see Gen. Crook, of theU. S. Army,
on the floor of the Board of Trade nearly
every day,” said one of the rounders to
me yesterday, him “but no one who doesn’t
know would take him for an Indian
fighter. He is of medium height, bul is
well built, broad shouldered and deep
chested. He wears a full beard below a
pair of well bronzed cheeks. His eyes
are quick and penetrating, and he has
the nose of a hawk. It is the nose of a
warrior—like Wellington’s or Napier’s.
He wears a light sack coat of grayish
silk, dark trousers and a straw hat. He
is seldom without gloves. I advise Gen.
Crook t o watch out. The Board of Trade
is not the Indian country by any manner
of means, and our scalpers are a great
deal worse than the oues he has been in
tbe habit of meeting. They will show
him less mercy than the Apaches.”—

Howto Heli> Yom- Digestion.
Almost every day we feel the unpleasant sen¬
sations of indigestion. Try Allcock’s Porous
Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Davenport, of
Canarsie, New York, writes:
X have been very much troubled with a vio¬
lent pain below my cheat bone. I was told by
several physicians that it was rheumatism of
the diaphragm. It resulted from cold and ex¬
posure. I had very little appetite and digested
my food with great difficulty. I placed one
Allcock’s Porous Plaster below the breast
hone and two on each side. In the course of
twenty-four hours ail pain ceased, and I was
able to eat and digest a good square meal, some¬
thing I had not done before in two weeks. I
got better constantly, and at the end of seven
days found myself entirely well. Since then I
have used Allcock’s Porous Plasters for
colds, coughs and pains in my side, and I have
always found them quick and effective.
