and korn dodgers are the tuffest chunks,
of the bread persuasion, known tew
man.
Korn dodgers are made out of water
with injun meal mkt into it, and then
baked on hard board, in the presence
ov hot fire.
When you can't drive 10 penny nail
into them with a sledge-hammer they
are sed, bi good judges, to be well
done, and are reddy tew be chawed
upon.
They will keep five years, in damp

THE STATE FAIR.

| 1t is sometime before our State Fair
takes place, but it is not too early to be.
gin to talk about the matter. There is
no doubt but that ehis win be the best
had most thorough Fair ever held in
Kansas. The society, with the aid of
the people of Topeka and Shawnee
county, are determined that nothing
shall be left undone, and no expense or
| trouble shall be spared to make it the
biggest success possible, in every re-
spect. And now that railroads pene-
trate every quarter of the State, we
may confidently expect large atten-
dance of both articles for exhibition,
and people.
The Kansas Farmer for May has the
following information about the prep
arations for the Fair:
"The active and efficient Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society has made
favorable arrangements with ali the
railroad companies, for carrying stock
and passengers to and from the State
Fair. They differ somewhat, however,
in their rates.
The Missouri River, Fort Scott &
hAASdS 1DTdHCn
Pacific, Leavcnworth, Lawrence Il Gal
weston, Atehison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
and Missouri, Kansas & Texas Roads
all agree to carry passengers and articles
ror exhibition at half fare rates. The
Hannibal 81 St. Joseph agrees to the
same terms. The Missouri Pacific pro-
poses to carry freight free from Jeffer-
son City TO State Line, and passengers
at one and one-filth fare for the round
trip. The st. Joseph & Council Bluffs
Road agrees to make the same terms as
were made last year.
The city of Topeka aud the county of
Shawnee have united in the purchase of
the bridge across the Kansas river at
Topeka, and it will be made free from
and after July Is.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad Company will run special
trains every half hour from the Kansas
Pacific depot, on the north side of the
Kansas river, to the Fair Grounds.
The President of the Society will
open the Fair with an appropriate adj
dress.
Invitations have been extended to
some of the most eminent Agricultur-
lists of the United States to be present
during the Fair, and address the people,
When the resu is known, notice Will
be given through the press.
Lists of names for premium lists are
earnestly solicited from friends of the
Society, from all parts of the State. Ad-

BURLEsQUE MOURNING.

The hollow mockery of American flu
nerals finds singular illustration in a
case IN one of our courts, in which an
undertaken sues TO recover the amount
OF bill for an expensive funeral spec
tally ordered by the corpse of course
before arriving at that condition of
mortality. The deceased of course was
woman, and, resolved, like Pope's la
dy of fashion, not to look frightful
when dead, she had ordered "a brown
cloth robe, trimmed with gros grain
sllk" as STROUD, and San extra size,
square built coffin with plenty of room
in il, " upholstered in satin, and "trin-
ed In splendid STYLE" the whole, with
accessories, costing 8, 1896 II-"such a

that "she got it. meanin ..c coffin

The offensive displays of upholsters
and undertakes on these occasions are
not, however, the only violations of
decency or good taste which are to be
witnessed. It frequently happens that
the burial service itself, beautiful and
impressive chiefly because of its sim
plicity and sOlemnity is burlesoued |
by ministers summoned in haste, and
unacquainted with the character of the |
dead or the circumstances of their life |
and death. Will ministers, friends, !

THE TRIUMPHS OF PEACE.

"Peace hath her victories" Two of
these victories have occurred in the
past few months. We allude to tie
settlement of the Black Sea question
which threatened strongly to involve
Russia and England in war, and the
final settlement of the Alabama claims
and other questions which have been at
issue between this country and Eng
land, for some years, by the commits
sion which has just ended its labors at
Washington. We can contemplate
nothing so horrible, in ali its details, az
war, and its prevention, by this peace
able means, between the great powers
which were so lately threatened by its
dark clouds, marks an epoch in the
worlds history. There is no doubt but
that little common sense, with less
foolish pride, would end, with the treaty
making power, nine out of ten of the
questions which arise between nations.
and which so often involve so much
blood shed and financial ruin.
How much better would it have been
with France and Prussia had they SET
tied the trifiing questions at issue be-
tween them in the way Russit aaa
England, and England and America
have settled theirs, instead of appealing
to the sword. The matters of difference,
indeed, between Prussia and France
were more insignificant than those
which have but lately been amicaoly
adjusted by the other powers named.
We shudder when we think what hui
man life has been sacrificed, what works
of civilization have been destroyed,
what misery has been brought to the
human race by the silly ambition, and
worse than fqolishness of two men
vested with 50 little brief authority
Instead of raising the standard of true
national honor or national dignity,
they have been lowered in the eyes OF
civilized and refined people, unless the
additional military glory gained by
Prussia can compensate for all the sac
rifices which have been made.
But we intended simply to call atten-
ton to the triumphs of f3eace IS mani
tested in the settlement of the Alabama
aud the Black Sea questions. May We
not reasonably hope that the examples
set in these cases will lead nations "to
learn war no more" and to exhaus;
every peaceable means to settle theiE
difficulties.
Thousands of American people with
wrong ideas of national honor, and ma
tional pride, wcro ready, few months
ago, to march against England. There
Is no doubt but that the Washington
treaty will be ratified by both govern
ments concerned, and we congratulate
the shot bloods" on their escape from
the bloody fields of strife. The absolute
refusal of England TO settle the Alaba
ma claims would have furnished SOM
excuse for bad blood, but now that sh
has satisfactorily arranged the matter
we see no reason why there should no
be the best of feeling for the future
We hope other nations will choose tn
wiser course, and follow the example
set by the three greatest nations of til
earth, America, Russia and England.

THE USE OF SODA AND sA+ERATUs.
RY A. H.


] have sean housekeepers who seem
to be ignorant of the effect of soda up
on the materials used in cooking.
They seem to have an idea that soda
alone has q tendency to make anything
rise. Hence they use it indiscriminate-
~ in bread, biscuit, or cake Years ago
/ knew an old lady who had this idea,
and it was impossible to convince her
to the contrary Whenever she was
afraid that the bread would not be light
enough, she would add q quantity of
saleratus. Her bread was often as yell
low as saffron and not fit to eat. of
ten see yellow pie-crust, especially up
on chicken ana meat-pies, plainly show
ing that soda has been used, Soda or
saleratus should never he used unless
the bread or pastry Is sour, or unless
you add to the -four, or to the dry soda,
before mixing, proportiUnate quanti-
ty of acid-snch as cream of tartar. LII
you add soda alone to perfectly sweet
material, it has no more effect in ma
king it rise than so much salt. It will,
however, affect the favor and color of
the material. When using soda, be
careful to use only enough to neutra-
lie the acid. Some persons consider
the use of soda at all in cooking, as
positively injurious. They labor under
u t1lStakS, t0lnk. w mere the alkatl
and acid are properly proportional
and come together in the moist mater
ial, they completely neutarlIZe each
other and form q conpound-Rochel
salt--the presence OF which in small
quantitiesis not perceptible, nor is ii
considered unwhOlesome. When too
much soda has been used in bread or
biscuit, it is readily manifested by the
color. In cookies or sponge cake, il is
not so easily detected, as the yellow
tinge may be supposed to be due to the
egg used. ! am not thus deceived.
The color given 10 cake aud cookies by
eggs is 3 bright, rich, golden yellow,
