Ihaye no doubt about the result OF
the contest of 1872, if the Democrats
make wise nominations; but they
must not give their adversaries the
advantage of the war issues, as they
did before by nominating Blair on the
strength of his BrOadhead letter; nor
will they succeed upon the strength OF
the Pendleton financial theory, which
drives to tn o Republican support
thousands and tens of thousands Oh
conservative men who look upon 1t as

CHICKEN JE1LY.-For chicken jelly,
take large chicken, cut it up into
small pieces, bruise the bones, and put
the whole into a stone jar, with cover
that will make it water-tight. Set the
Jar in a large kettle of boiling water.
and keep it boiling for three hours.
Then strain off the liquid, and season
it slightly with salt, pepper, and mace
or with loaf sugar and lemon juice, ac-
cordipg to the taste of the person for
whom it is intended. Return the frag-
ments of the chicken to the jar, and
set it again in kettle of boiling water
You will find that you can collect
nearly as much jelly by the second
boiling. This jelly may be made OF ar
old fowl.

The Voting Power Of the South

We take the following from the Dos

One of the hopeful manifestations OF
Southern politics is to be found in the
interest which the people there, with
ont political or social distinction, are
beginning to take in questions af1ect-
ing their industrial development ana

" interesting, because the Southern
states must continue to be m the 1u'

wealth-producing section Of the Union.
Nor can their influence upon the reve-

upon its politics, be overest'mateu'-
There is a common and dangerous SEN

How TO MAKE TEA PROPERLY

How TO MAKE TEA PROPERLY
The proper way to make a cup of good
tea is a matter of some Importance.
The plan which have practiced Tor
these twelve months is this. The tea
Dot is at once filled up with boiling
water, then the tea is put into the pot
and is allowed to stand for five minutes
before it is used; the leaves gradually
absorb the water, and as gradually
sink to the bottom; the result is that
the tea leaves are not scalded, as they
are when boiling water is poured ove'
them, and you get all the true flavor
of the tea. In truth, much less tea il
required in this way than under the oil
and common practice.-[James Cuthill

it turns out that the item referred to is

DEMOCRACY OF ST. LOUIS
For the benefit of the croakers, men
who delight in preaching the fun
eral of the Democratic party on
street. corners and billiard saloons,
we reproduce the following result
of the late charter election in st.
Louis from the Republican of that
city. The political significance Of
the election is unmistakable, and
should quiet the fears of croakers,
so far as the Democracy of st Louis
is concerned South Western.
There is one fact revealed by it
which is worth considering; the in
significance of the Administration
party in st. Louis. Three years ago
that party ruled the city and the
country with a rod Of iron, and in
1868 it carried both the city and
county for Grant by good round
majority. But in the election o.
Tuesday it is left in a minority O
1922. 1t failed to EJECT a single
one of the twelve>aldermen chosen
it did not carry a single ward; onl.
one Republican was elected to tn
city council, and he is an ant
Grant man, and most excellen
> and useful official, and popular cit
izen. In fact, the defeat of tn
Administrator folks was humilis
: ting; q majority of 300 against
! in vote of $4,000 is enough to dir
arm cruelty and excite pity. Th
vote in detail shows that the Gel
e mans are lost to the Administr;

Hurley in Livingston County, Kentuc-
Ky, has developed the fact that the dis
ease among hogs, which is taking them
off very rapidly, and which by most of
our farmers is pronounced hog cholera,
is nothing more or less than worms
He noticed in hogs that had not been
physiced and treated~with proper REM
edies, that the entrals were nearly a
mass of worms of all sizes, and in all
shapes, while in those that had been
treated for worms none were found
He thinks if the hogs are treated fol

will be healthy.
