Fish is not only a very important and

than meat. The nee of fieh affords one of
the eazdeet and oheapest ways by which to
have a veriety. Care Abould be taken in

Freezing Dreams.
The first requisite hi a good freczar—get
a large one, it should hold four quarts at
least. A small quantity can be trczen as
well in a large as in a small freezer. The
ice should be pounded in a bar; a meal bag
is the beet kind. Use a wooden mallet for
breaking the ice. Always use coarse rock
salt and never try to freeze cream with fine
salt. Pound the ice nearly as fine as the
salt. Never try to freeze anything while it
is yet warm. Strain creams before fretzIng
as it will make them finer grained. Use a
saucer for measuring ice and salt and take
three saucers of ice to one of salt. Never
pour off the salt water that comes from the
melting ice as this helps freeze the cream.
Have the salt and ice come to the top of the
mixture in the can. Atter freezing a cream
remove thebeeter and press down firmly
with a spoon. Take off the handles and
place a cora in the hole in the cover. If
the cream is not to be used for several hours
pour off the salt water through the hole in
the side of the wooden pail of the freezer
and repack with the ice and ialt mixed in
the same proportion as before. Have the
ice come to the top of the can • cover with
a piece of old carpet or blanket and set
away. To turn out dip the can for an in-
stant in warm water and turn out on a plat-
ter. To mould creams in bricks or melons
Blithe moulds with the frozen cream; lay a
piece of paper over the cream before the
cover is put on, then tie on the oover and
bury the moulds in nit and ice.
How to Eat.
The etiquette of eating a soft boiled egg
has. been the subjeob of more than one clever
essay. The English custom is to eat it
directly from the shell, when of course a
small egg cup and egg spoon are necessary.
The American way is to break the egg into
a cup or glass by- striking the shell in tne
center and turning .the contents into the
glass. In"eleis case it ie usually eaten with
a teaspoon, as an egg spoon, unless extra.
large, would be too email, and we have seen
the egg held by a corner of the napkin, but
this is not only tiresome but dififieult to do
nicely, without soiling the napkin -
Celery is always taken from the dish and
carried to the mouth by the fingers. If in-
dividual salts are not provided, it is eti-
quette to use one half of the butter plate
for salt. If salt shakers are used, hold the
celery in the left hand just over the rirn of
•
your p!ate and gently sentokle it with sett,
and the old cuatom of putiog sp000fel of

tial election. This is due to the feeb that
there is no common unit of repreeentation, in
the Electoral College, that is to asy, an
elector from ono State may represent ten
times as many people u an elector from
another. For example, a Montana elector
reposente about 13,000 people, while a New
York elector represeute over 147,000. Ten
votes of the people in New York, therefore,
have no more power than ono in Mon -
tau, In the next Electoral College
there will be 414 votes, and the "Herald's
table shows that tho aggregate population of
thirty-one States which will have 208 of these
votes is 21,788,000, while that of cloven
States which have the remaining 2C6 votes is
27,832,000. Should the States divide in this'
manner at a Preeidential elution, the aide
having a popular majority of over 6,000,000
would nevertheleas be in a minority of two
in the college. This, of course, would be an
extreme case, but, as ourtreaders aro aware,
at the last election the candidate who was
the choice of a minority of the people secured
the Presidency.
South Flondin Tbe crew of the schooner
"Mabel F--" while on shore at Hey Mina
heard a strange rumpus, and pushing round
it turn in the beach they saw it huge logger-
head turtle in deadly battle with a big black
bear.
From their positions it seemed that the
bear had sprung on the turtle as it was
retreating toward the water, and had tried
to overturn it. In some way it had stepped
in front of the turtle which, thrusting 18
head out, had seized one of bruhne hind legs
and held 6.
At this the bear roared loudly, pawed
furiously at the turtle's hack, and tried to
force letm over on Ins back. The turtle
horn will miter° the handle and the back.
This bo done by putting the amalleat
toilet ohina in the bum with it. Dry vtell

resided with all Ito strength and weight. He Mik heated to much above 100 degrees
settled down dose to the ground whenever
the beer made an extra effort, and then ss
the bear relaxed his efforts, he would sud-
denly start up and endeavor to get nearer the
water, keeping his firm hold °nthe bear's leg
all the NOW°.
Finally, by a sudden push and a powerful
musonlar effort of his head and paws, brain
managed to get the turtle half -set, one side
being raised it foot or so. Pursuing his ad-
vantage, he seized one of the turtle's big
flippers in his jaws, and the snap that follow
ed. showed that bruin felt that things were
evening up.
He kept chewing the fiipperand endeavor-
ing to overthrow the 'Witte. • But his antag-
oniab worked around, and finally got. 18a
stroke with its sharp claw that badly ripped
the bear's under side. This infuriated bruin
eo much that he let ge his grip on his antag-
onist's flipper, and, reaching his bead down,
tried to read; and free his hind leg. Bub he
made a bad mistake, and the enraged, logger-
head quickly improved his opportunity.
As bruin's noseocame within reach he let
go the leg, and, quick as a flash, fastened
hie iron grip on the bear's jaw. The bear
was thoroughly taken by surprise, and roared
lustily with pain and rage. The turtle
pushed on, and dragged bie unwilling captive
along.. The bear saw his danger and felt it,
too, for they were so near the water's edge
that the waves splashed over them.
The bear kept up the struggle ferociously,
but his strength soon began to fail, for the
turtle dragged him deeper and . deeper.
Fighting with his head half the time under
water so exhausted him, that presently he
stopped to rest. That moment was tatal.
The old /oggerhead marched off into the sea
with his enemy, and the last seen of bruin
was the feeble kicking of his hind legs. Next
day his body was washed ashore, cut into a
dozen pieces.

Stanley's Geographical Diseumies.
Stanley's geographical discoveries have
been noteworthy, albeit; the object of the
relief expedition has not been exploration.
He has traced the Aruwimi hundreda of
miles from the Congo to the highlands flank-
ing the Nile basin. He has demonstrated
the extent and character of the enormous
forest belt that extends northward from
Tanganyika to the equatorial lakes. He has
discovered a snow-capped mountain which
he thinks rivals Shims -Niue in height.
He has described the tributary of the Ry -
son, which undoubtedly. connects that my
stenions lake, Mute /imp, • with the Nile
system. If he seta out for Zanzibar from
the southern edge of the Nyanza, he will
make material additions to geogra phical

Empress Engenie's Stolen Wealth.
Besides the large sums of money remitted
to England by the late Emperor Napoleon
during his reign and duly invested on his
behalf by Menne. Coutts, the Empresa
Eugenie has also the capital aunt which was
handed over to her on account of the sale of
suoh possessions in France as were proved to
the Redefinition of the Fres& Courts to be
the private property of the Emperor. A
third source of her large annual income is in
Spain, where she had several valuable estates
in the neighborhood of Granada. It will be
to visit this Spanish property that the ex-
EmprePs will shortly leave England, and she
will probably stay on the most beautiful of t,
her estates during the Spring months. Her
abode will be a Chateau en Eepagne of the
most substantial kind, which she has not
previously visited since she left it to become
Empress of France, thirty-seven years ago.
