SYNPATuErIc RERUBLIcANs.-Ther are
hosts OF voters who have acted with the
Radical party on the old slavery quarre.,
but who are in full sympathy with the
Democratic party on evcry other question.
With that old issue OF. of the way they
will come back 30 the Democratic party
and aid i. in gaining victory over those
who are seeking to pervert the ends of the
Government by concentrating the powers
which rightfnlly belong TO the people in
the hands of Congress. There are thous-
ands of Republicans who arc discoutented
with the action Of their party leaders, in
warning upon the Constitution and the re-
served rights of the States. If the Dem
ocratic party will stand upon the living
national issues of to-day, and not the sec
tional issues of yesterday, all viii be we'll.

TO Make DOugh-Nuts.

REQUIRED: Twelve ounces sugar, three
eggs, one pint of milk, one-half pint of
lard, one-half pint of yeast, one good
sized nutmeg, with salt and flour. Melt
the lard, and be careful to have half pint
of lard when melted-no more, and no less.
Put the pint of milk upon the stove to
warm, and pour into the melted lard.
While this is warming lit should not be
hot), take about three pints of si(ted flour,
and CRATE into 1t good sized nutmeg,
then add about two teaspoonfuls of salt |;
next roll the twelve ounces of sugar (cof
fee-sugar is best because it is soit), and
add that to the flour; then beat the three
eggs, and stir them in with the sugar and
-four. When that is mixed up well, stir
in the wetting of milk and lard, and then
add the half pint of homemade yeast add
more flour, and knead soft like biscuit
Be sure not to get it stiif, for dough-nuts
should be made very soft; they do not re-
quire much kneading, only sufficient to
mix all the ingredients well together.
When you are through kneading, put the
dough into warm pan or pail to rise IA

which holds the air may not be broken,

them fry slowly to nice brown, turning
them several times while cooking. DO
not let the lard brown, but have it hot

that it is better than to use clear lard

Making Love.


In Seville, which is popularly believed
to be in Spain, there is in use most fe'
licitous invention in the way of making
love-clandestinely After dark, young
caJeller0s steal beneath the lady's lattice
which, perchance, is in the third story
and softly unscrewing the handle of their
walking sticks, proceed to extract from the
same, which are hollow, length after
length of hollow tubing, screwing them
together after the fashion of japanese
fishing pole, or the old apparatus where
with sweeps clean chimneys. A mouth
piece is fitted into each end and one raised
to the window above. Soon by the aid of
this improvised speaking tube, two souls
with certain unanimity of thought and
two hearts with possible union Of pulsa-
tion are softly communing
Now this is all very nice, seductively
romantic and all that sort of thing, but
mark what the knowledge of it brought to
a certain youth of Baltimore. He had
read of it, or heard oft, and happening to
have surrepitious affection for young
and wealthy lady, which she as surrepti-
ftiously reciprocated, he determined with
her connivance, TO avail himself of it.
He got tin pipe of the desired length,
made by a timer, and in each end of it
placed, for want of better mouthpiece,
funnel. Delicious conversation went on,
he sitting on the top of water barrel
and she leaning from her window
above. They would converse for hours,
and exchange all the soft nonsense
in the world, and then he would
unship his apparatus, put the fun
nels in his pocket, wrap the pieces up in a
newspaper, and go home in condition OF
ETHEREAL bliss. The course of true love
never did run smooth, and one evening
the old gentleman, smoking in the back
garden at an unusual hour, saw the young
gentleman arrive, fix up his apparatus, and
commence his soul-communing operations
He made up his mind in minute. He

Keeping Bees.

TIE time is not far distant when every
farmer, and almost every suburban resi-
dent of our large towns and cities, will
have their swarms of bees as much as
they have now their hens.
There is at present popular prejudice
against the honey bee, either as very un-
certain possession, or one of doubtful COM
fort and easy management But this pre-
iudice is founded wholly on the ignorance
and mismanagement of former genera
ton We shared this feeling in full meas
ure till induced by,a friend, q few years
ago, to accept swarm of bees and try our
hand at their management. But short
time was sufficient to disarm us of all
prejudice against the honey bee, and we
were not long in becoming decidedly at
tached to them. Our experience was suf-
ficient to learn that their management is
easy, and even more so than that of poul-
try; and by the introduction of movable
comb hives, the management is rendered
still more easy, and their income and
profit greatly increased
We therefore advise every person living
in the country, especially those of small
means, to procure a hive of bees and gel
information on their best management
from the many sources now open.
One swarm will soon increase to several
and in a few years to scores. Their pas
turage costs nothing, and yet their pro
ductions command high price, and the
price of a swarm of bees will continually
advance as knowledge of their value in
creases. Be Journal

The remainder, nine men and five
women, will be scattered along between
sixty and eighty years-an age at which
almost any one would be expected to
know better. 1t will be seen, however,
that The desire as well as the opportunity
for marriage falls off rapidly in both sexes
after thirty-up to that age both seem to
increase. In twentyseven thousand five
hundred marriages, or thereabout, there
will be. one hundred and nineteen men and
only sixteen women between sixty and
seventy years of age, while fourteen men
and four women will be between seventy
and eighty.
Interesting as these ancients are, there
is still another class deserving of some
thing more than a passing notice. We
mean old maids. How many are there, and
what are their matrimonial chances? We
have already stated that twenty-one out of
every hundred women who reach the mar
riage-age, namely 25 40 years, never marry.

Dor of manageable women who are wait

the best authority that can be had upor
this exceedingly interesting topic, 1t ap

marriageable women, within those hereto,
fore mentioned as the manageable ages,
namely, fifteen and forty-tive, is about
twenty. five per cent. of the whole number
Of women living between those ages.
1t seems to be part of the creed o
the discontented sisterhood, whether wives
or spinsters, that one of the inalienablC
rights of woman entities her to husband
| 1t will be seen that nature sets her fac,
against this assumption, and makes yer,
different decree. The truth is, that every
woman living between the ages of fifteeI
and forty five has twenty-five chances il

is, her chances of marriage are as four L

Trees Girdled by Mice.

AT meeting of the Northern Illinois
Horticultural Society, d. b. WAR, of
Lacon, read paper on "Saving Girdled
Fruit Trees" He said he had over a
hundred, seven years planted, completely
girdled by mice. There had been for
some time heavy snow upon the ground,
and mice being plenty, and in starving
condition, with nothing else to eat, they
ate all the bark from the trees as far as
they could reach, some of them for a foot
up and down all round; and portions of
the sap-wood in some places half an inch
deep AS soon the damage was discov-
cred, which was on the first thawing days,
he banked the snow around the trees, and
as soon as the soil thawed, he banked that
q foot high about the trunks. This was
all the attention they received; and to-day
they have all the damaged parts covered
by almost as thick coating Of bark as the
uninjured portion of the trees When the
girdling is done high up on the trees,
banking with soil will be impracticable,
If the wounded parts are too high to
reach by banking, clay may be bound on
with bandage. The sooner the surface
is protected the better. The death of the
tree is caused by the seasoning of the sap

The Hazards Of Winter.

The feeble and delicate dread thS winter, and
with good reason. The weather at this season has
a depressing effect upon the vital organs and the
animal spirits, and they have Vitality or mental
animation to spare. The aged and inhrm, in whom
the flame OF life Is waxing dim, are always un-
pleasantly affected by the temperature Of winter,
and should fortify their systems against 1t. The
extra vgof and resistant power which the enfeebled
system rexuires to enable II to meet with safety
the assaults of cold and damp, may soon be ac-
euired by the regular use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters fho tonic effect of this wonderful medi-
cine is soon apparent, in d1 Increased appetite, a
more active digestion, and a brighter, happier
frame of mind. Food is the fuel of the body, and
II 1t is not properly dgested the fires of life burn
low When this ia the case, the disability can al
ways be remedied within short space Of time, by
taking full dose of the Bitters twice a day. The
stomach will soon begin to perform its allotted
task regularly and steadily; the food, being
thoroughly assniated, will yield the amount oi
vital heat and nourishment which the body re-
qures under the external pressure of cold and the
winter ailments which are apt to assail the weah
and untoned physique will be avoided.

Does SubsOiling Pay2

In answering this question, the Rural
OdrOlinGGn, among other things, says;
"Some soils win hold water like pan !;
some, the water will percolate through
and go out at the base of the hill. Not
only the kind of soil, but the pecu1iaries
of locality should influence our decision
on this subject. There are localities where
the surface soil has been exhausted, when
eight or ten inches below, you may strike
soil as good or better than the original
mold on the surface, Here, say, by all
means, subsoil and not only subsoil, but
bring portion of the subsoil to the sur
face, if possible; but if you have two
inches of soil and pipe clay substrata, sub
soiling can do no good, for in a wet season
it will hold too much water for the crop
without subsoiling. What you now want
is thorough draining, close and deep, with
main trunk as an outlet"

The Way to Cook Beans.

The usual way people cook beans is to
parboil them put them In Kettle or pan
set them in the oven to bake, with a
chunk of fat pork in them. The grease
bakes out into the beans, making most
unwholesome and indigestible mess, de-
stroying all the good flavor of the beans.
Now. my method for cooking them (Which
all who have tried it pronounce eXcellent)
is as follows; Parboil as usual, putting in
salt to suit the taste. Then put them in a
pan and set in the oven to bake, putting in
piece of good sweet butter-the size Of a
