FOOte and Prentiss.

Foote'S challenge to Davis, and Davis
departure for Europe, has revived the
story of the formers encounter with s.
s. Prentiss, whose biting sarcasm often
brought him into trouble. Long ago,
Foote visited Texas, and gave to the
world, gift which the world did not
seem to appreciate, work upon that
country. A friend of Prentiss was sick
unto death with delerium tremens, then
a fashionable complaint. The physi-
clans labored long and unsuccessfully
to put the patient to sleep. Prentiss
was informed that his friends case was
hopeless unless they could induce
slumber, and every known mar
cotic had been administered, but with
out effect. Damn it, said Prentiss,
"give him Foote'S book on Texas, and
/ will insure it's soporific effect" This
coming to the knowledge of the author,
he determined to administer q pill to
Prentiss that should produce sleep
eternal. A challenge was sent and ac-
cepted. A duel was fought near Vicks-
burg, and Foote was wounded. The
issue would have brought about recon-
citation, but for the fact that in the
field Prentiss' tongue bit as hard as his
bullet. The battle was witnessed by a
large number of people, many of whom
were mere lads. Anxious for coign
of vantage from which to behold the
edifying spectacle, the boys climbed
into the branches of surrounding trees.
Seeing them, Prentiss exclaimed jest
ingly, Boys. you had better take care,
Foote shoots mighty Wild" This re-
mark so annoyed Foote that he chal-
lenged Prentiss second time. Foote
missed again, when Prentiss generously
fired his pistol in the air. Unless Foote
had made wonderful improvement as a
marksman, Davis might have met him
without apprehension as to the result.

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.

If the crust to bread is wished tender,
as soon as the loaves are taken out OF
the oven, wrap them in wet cloth
wrung from cold water, and then lay
over it dry towel.
GROUND RICE GRUE1.-Boil one table
spoonful of ground rice, rubbed smooth
with cold water, in a pint and a half of
milk, with bit of cinnamon and lemon
peel. Sweeten slightly, or season with
salt.
To REMOVE FLEsHwoRMs.-Liq
of potassa, one ounce; cologne water,
two ounces white brandy, four ounces.
Wash with warm water, apply coarse
towel vigorously; then use this prepa-
ration.
SAGo CRUEL. three tablespoon
fuls of sage and wash in cold water
then add one quart of boiling hot milk
and boil for twenty minutes sweeten
and flavor with lemon peel, or a table,
spoonful of brandy.
TAPIocA JELLY.-Wash a teacupful
of tapioca-soak it for three hours in
cold water-turn off the water and pour
over it one quart of boiling water. Add
the grated peel of one lemon sweeten
to taste, and boil for one hour.
HONEY SoAP.-Dissolve two pounds
of yellow soap in dish suspended in a
kettle of boiling water. Add quarter
of a pound each of strained honey and
palm oil, and three cents worth of oil
of cinnamon. When cold, it is ready
for use.
STRENGTHENING JELLY.-Boil in two
quarts of water one ounce of rice, one
ounce of sage, and one ounce of pearl
barley, until reduced one-half. Strain
into a mold take a teacupful, morning,
noon and night. 1t can be sweetened
and favored to taste.

when first beginning to cook, will aid
greatly in killing the unpleasant odor
arising therefrom. Remember this for
boiled cabbage, green beans, onions,
chickens, mutton, etc.
Corn FRIrTHRs.- Young, sweet corn,
pepper, salt, nutmeg, butter hot in the
pan. Crate the corn from the cobs into
a basin, season and drop by spoonfuls
into the pan and fry until brown. This
is delicious breakfast relish, but re-
quires a considerable time to prepare.
IsINGLAss JELLY.-Boil one ounce of
isinglass shavings with slice of brown
bread crust and handful of Jamaica
peppers, in one quart of water, until it
is reduced to pint. Strain into a
mold. A tablespoonful of this jelly
taken in milk is "a good tonic for dys-
pepsia.
FRUIT CREAMS. Dissolve half an
ounce of isinglass in warm water enough
to cover it add this to pint of cream
sweetened with four spoonfuls of sugar
and boil it. When cool lay some
apricot, raspberry or peach preserves in
glass dish and pour the cream over it.
PRESERVATION OF EGGs.-Eggs are
preserved in France by smearing them
all over with solution of beeswax in
double the quantity of olive oil with the
finger. The shell is rendered ali. tight,
and when packed in bran or chat and
kept dry the eggs may be preserved
for months. Rubbing the eggs with
linseed oil has been successful in pre-
serving them for six months.
To PRESERVE CLOTHING PINs.-They
should be boiled few moments and
quickly dried once or twice a month,
when they become more flexible and
durable. Cloth lines will last longer
and keep in better order for wash-day
service, if occasionally treated in the
same manner.
To PREVENT Cold FEET AT BED
TINE. Draw off your stockings just be-
fore undressing, and rub your ankles
and feet well with your hand, as hard
as you can bear the pressure, for five or
ten minutes, and you will never have to
complain of cold feet in bed. 1t is
hardly conceivable what pleasurable
glow this diffuses. Frequent washing
of the feet, and rubbing them thorough
ly dry with linen cloth or flannel, is
very useful.
To MEND RUBBER SHOES. Get a
piece of pure rubber-an old shoe-vul-
canized rubber will not do cut it in
small bits. Put it into bottle, and
cover to twice its depth with spirits of
turpentine or refined coal oil naptha.
Stop the bottle and set to one side,
shaking it frequently, The rubber will
soon dissolve. Then take the shoe and
place the rip or cut close together, and
put on the rubber solution with camel's
hair brush. Continue to apply as it
dries, until thorough coating is
formed. Spirits of turpentine dissolves
the rubber slowest, but forms the most
elastac cement.

One Line In Eighteen Shapes.

Transportation z" is pleasant task
for winter evenings. A tutor gave his
pupil a line from the poet Gray
"The plowman homeward plods his weary way"
and desired him to transpose the words
without altering the sense or the rhyme.
When the tutor and scholars compared
their papers after half an hours study,
they found that the line was capable OF
at least eighteen transpositions. Here
are some of them

Back Again to Dead-Head Times.

In the circular issued by the Super
intendeht of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad on the LIST OF
January, setting forth who were entitled
to free passes under the new agreement,
section states that Conductors may
use their discretion in allowing persons
to ride, in cases of charity, free, but
will in all such cases enter the person
name on their report, with the reason.
Vagabonds and travelling paupers are not
objects of charity" This clause, the
managers of other roads contend, is Civ
ing wide latitude of discretion to con-
ductors, who, under it, can carry free
under such plea, whomsoever they
choose. Chicago Tribune.

Cure for Sheep Chasing Dogs.

Many people will assent heartily to
the principle that the best possible
cure for sheep-chasing dog, is to kill
him at the earliest practicable moment ;
but there may be exceptional cases. A
correspondent of the London Field
seems to think so at least, and relates
an instance where, after other attempts
have failed, fine Newfoundland dog
was cured by tying him to two old
Scotch rams, and left to such amuse-
ment as he could extract from their
society. The result was an extensive
ramble over hill and dale. hedges and
bitches, and diversified, of course, by
the discordant views each ram and the
dog entertained as to the route for en-
joying the best scenery. When all
three were very tired, they were loosed
and nothing thereafter was so extremely
offensive to that dogs tastes as the So
ciety of sheep.

A Plea for Internal improvements.

In 1910 Mr.. Van Buren,, while Presi-
dent, made quite an extended tour
through the West. On one of his jaunts
from town to town he took passage in a
stage-coach. The road was rough and
rugged, and very muddy. At length,
with dreadful splash, the coach upset,
and, when Mr.. Van Buren, had succeed
ed in crawling out from under boot and
baggage, he found himself standing up
to his knees in mud.
" In mercy's name, driver, how did
this happen p he inquired, as soon as
he could gain the ear of that individual.

murderer, suffered death a few days
ago, was the most revolving in the an
nails of history. After outraging his
grand niece, young girl of ID, he MUIR
dered her and shamefully mutilated her
person. Before his execution he con-
fessed the murder, and also the murder
of another little girl some years ago.
He is suspected, and with evidently
good reason, of having been the fiend
who murdered the Joyce children near
Boston about two years since. Hang
ing was too mild a death for him to die,
but the world will breathe easier now

"Reminiscences OF Lewis Cass.

Such "reminiscences as the following
of our public men are heritage of
value to other generations, and are
worthy of record. Let it be borne i'll
mind that the man who was able thus
to speak had seen his share Of hard life,
and severe trial, and sore temptation.
In the war of 1912 he was active and
efficient, serving through the whole
period. He entered as Colonel of the
Third Ohio volunteers. His first essay
was a march of 200 miles through a
swampy wilderness to Detroit, and thence
into Canada and to him is awarded
the honorable distinction of having been
the first man of our forces, i'll that war,
to put his foot, i'll arms, upon British
soil. He snuffed the sulphur of battle,
and withstood the leaden hail. His
manifold public services from that time
are matters of history. In 1886 Mr..
Cass was appointed Minister to France;
and on a public occasion, previous to
departing on his important mission, he
put on record the following testimony
III relation to his habits OF life. Said
he:
q have never tasted any ardent
spirits, nor nave L, at any time during
life, been in the habit of drinking wine.
1t is of course almost useless. to add,
that l know nothing of the effects of
stimulating liquors upon the constitu-
ton, except as have observed them in
others. L have, perhaps, during my
life been as much exposed as most men,
having lived, since boyhood, in a new
country; having served in the army
during war and having been led by
official duties to traverse almost all the
western region north of the Ohio, and
east of the Mississippi. What effects
might have resulted to me from the use
of stimulating liquors at periods of
great exposure and fatigue / cannot say.
l can only say that L have done well
enough without them.

known by the policemen in attendance,

would be arrested for the act. After
trying IN vain to deposit their ballots
without being detected by the policemen
or challenged by the opposite party, they
left IN disgust, to drink to Rindskopf's

are the liberties taken with American
