TEMPE RANCE LEGISLATION.
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE GRAHAM LAW.

A bill to regulate the sale of in:ox'cE
ting liquors was introduced in the Legs
lature Saturday nigh hy Mr.. Voee II
Milwaukee. The authorship of the bill
is attributed mainly to Senator Colshau

League" 1t is said to have the unapi-
mou, approval OF tho Reformers In both
houses rf the Legislature.
We have not seen the full bill. Judg-

IN several respects. The surety bonds
required should he increased eight 81

A GEM FROM WHITTIER.

From the Boston Globe, Febru airy, 8.
To appreciate the truth and beauty OF the
ollowing Ines from the pen Of Whittier
1t is necessary to know the circumstance
under which they were written. friend oi
Whittier's youth, who had spent most OF
his life on the lilipois prairies, called on the
poet at his home in Amesbury, and together
they recalled the scenes ofSthe, childhood
and briefly recounled sthe course OF heir ar.
ter life. Whittier seemed much affected by
the illusions OF his friend 10 his prsirie 10 ne,
where wife, children, and grandchild
CConsfance") awaited his return and on
being asked for his autograph, replied
"call on your way TO the cars, ana | will
hare it to you" The friend called. and re-
ceived the following. The lines show the
delicate texture Of the poets heart, the ten.
drills OF which were evidently stretching after
some hing beyond his reach;
"Tho years that since we met have flown
Leave, as they found me, still alone;
Nor vile, nor child, nor grandchid dear,
Are mine. the heart Of age To cheer.
More favored. thou, with hair less gray,
Than mine, eanst let thy fancy stray
To where thy little Constance sees
The prairie ripple in the breeze.
For one like her TO lisp thy name
!. Ia better than the voice OF Fame"

PRESENTS AT WEDDINGS, GOLDEN
WEDDINGS, SILVER WEDDINGS, AND
WOODEN WEDDINGS, are not always
what they purpoet to be.
For proof that they are not we refer
to an article under the caption "A
Buncomb Check printed elsewhere in
this paper. Such Buncomb Check
at a wedding purporting to be brid-
al present should check the giving Of
presents at weddings even when the
presents are genuine. Parents and
Others, if they desire to make either
bride or groom presents, can do it
without making a display # the
presents at the wedding. Golden
wedding, Silver weddings, and
wooden weddings, of recent origin,
and the display OF presents at them,

A Farmers Experience.

That success of farming is exper-
icnee.
That to ask mans advice is not
STOPPING. but often of much benefit.
That to keep a place for everything,
and everything in ITS place, saves many
step, and is pretty sure TO lead to
good tools, and to keep them in good
order.
That it is good thing to grow into
farming and not Jump into it.
That kindness to stock, like good
shelter, is saving Of fodder.
That by making home pleasant you
keep your boys out Of the city.
That TO fight weeds is to favor
grain. and do justice to your neigh
bors.
That ii is good thing TO keep an
eye open 10 experiments, and note
all both good and bad.
That il is a good. paving thing TO
take papers, keep posted, and be soci-
able with the neiehbors.

Eggs VS.. Meat.

Would il not be well to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet
About one-third the weight of an egg
is solid nutrimcnt. This is more than
can be said of meat. There are no
bones and tough pieces which have TO
be laid aside. A good egg is made up
of ten parts shell, sixty parts white
and thirty parts yclk. The white of
an egg contains eighty-six per cent.
water; the yelk tifty-two per cent.
The average weight of an EGG is about
two ounces. Practically an egg is an
imal food, and yet there is none of the
disagrceable work of butcher neces-
sary TO obtain il. The vegetarians of
England use eggs freely, and many of
these men are eighty and ninety years
old, and have been remarkably free
from illness. a good egg is alive.
The shell is porous, and the oxygen of
the air goes through the shell and
keeps up n kind of respiration. An
egg soon becomes stale in bad air, or
in very dry air charged with carbonic
acid. Eggs may be dried and made to
retain their goodness for long time,
or the shell may be vanished which
excludes the air, when, if kept in a
moderate temperature, they may be
kept good for years. The French pco-
pie produce more eggs than any other,
and ship millions to England annually.
Fresh eggs are more transparent at
the center, old ones ut the top. Very
old ones are not transparent in either
place. In water in which one-tenth
of salt has been dissolved good eggs
sink and indifferent ones swim. Bad |
eggs float in pure water. The best |
eggs are laid by Young. healthy hens |
If they are properly fed, the eggs are
better than if they are allowed to eat |
all sorts of food. Eggs are best when
cooked four minutes. This takes |
away the animal taste that is offensive |
20 some, but does not so harden the |
white or yelk as TO make them hard to |
digest. An egg, if cooked very hard, |
is difficult of digestion, except by those |
with stout stomachs: such eggs should |
be eaten with bread masticated very |
finely. An excellent sandwich can be
made with eggs and brown bread. /
An egg spread on toast is fit for
king, if kings deserve any better food /
than anybody else, which is doubtful |
Fried eggs are less wholesome than
boiled ones. An egg dropped into hot
water is not only a clean and hand
some, but a delicious morsel. Most /
people spoil the taste of their eggs by |
adding pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter is the best dressing. |
Eggs contain much PHOSPHORUS,
which is supposed to be useful TO
those who use their brains much

Pasturet.

One of the great advantages of nat
ural pastures is, there are varieties
following each other, SO that there are
always profusion of young and
tempting heritage for all kinds of ami
mails: then another great desideratum
is gained bya crop always snrc with
ont any blowing or cultivation, or

wearing of implements is important
in this country of dear manual help.

might sell it TO bring in more than all

A Good WhiueWash.

To make whitewash that will not
wash off by the rain: One peck of
lime should be Stacked in five gallons
of water, in which one pound of rice
has been boiled until it is all dissolv-
ed. The rice water should be covered
up closely until the lime is Stacked.
Then pound Of salt should be added,
and the wash heated to boiling when
