4 Puzzled and Indignant Witness.

A paper IN PittStield, Mass, relates
the following "rhey were trying u
horse case in coart the other day, aud
the lawyer was questioning witness in
reference to ths animals habits and dis
position. Haze you ever driven her,
was asked. Il have was the reply.
WAS there any one with yen at the
time p was the next question. There
was lady with me- the witness an
swerod, and he bIushcd litil>. WAS
she good drivor:' was the next ques-
ton, the lawyer referring 20 the animal,
but the witness understood that he
meant The lady. She was, he replied.
WAS she gentle and kind 2 asked the
legal limb, and the reply was in the
affirmative, though the witness, still
thinking of the lady, looked little sur
prised. 'Shc didn't kick 2 was the next
interrogation, and decisive No was
the answer. She didn't rear up or kick
over tho traces, or put her hind feet
through the dashboard, or try TO run
away, or act ugly, or'-thc witness was
boiling over with indignation by this
time, and interrupted tho lawyer with,
DO yoH mean the horse or the lady :.
81 mean the mare we're talking about,
Numbered the counsel. 'Oh was the
response, Il thought you meant the gal
And with this explanation the pursuit
of Justice was resumed"

Household Hints.

In making frosting for cakes or pud
dings, a little lemon juice, tartarlc acid
or cream OF tartar Is very pleasant adj
dition to the taste, besides making the
trosting much lighter.
In cooking oatmeal, hominy, wheaton
grist, cracked wheat, or any of those
nice breakfast dishes, cook 1t In a cover
cd thin dish sc: in 4 kettle of boiling
water In this manner there is no
danger Of scorching. Cornstarch pud
dings, seamoss, farna, and all other
articles mixed with mix can be cooked
in the same way.
In roasting poultry one thickness OF
writing or nice brown wrapping paper,
tied round tho wings and drumsllcks,
will keep them from being baked to a
crisp and spoiled.
Bleeding from the nose may DO stop
ped by pnlting bits OF lint into the nos
trils, and by..ralsing the arms over the
head.
Vegetables should Fever be cooked in
iron pots unless the latter are cnameie,t
or otherwise coated internally.
A correspondent WI ties 10 the Scicnti-
tic Amcricdh that the worst toothache,
or neuralgia coming from tho teeth,
may be speedily and delightfully."- ended
by the application OF a small bit OF clean
cotton, saturated in q strong solution OF
ammonia, TO tho defective tooth. Some
times the late sufferer Is prompted to
momcntary nervous laughter by the APP
plicalon, but the pain has disappeared.
At this time OF the year 1t is CT great
importance to arrange plants in houses
so that they shall have supply OF light
somewhat equal to tho climate from
which they came. All retarded autumn
flowers should have rs light situation
as possibIe-near well-cleaned glass and
not far from quiet ventilation. y strong
draft Of air is injurious to them.
There is rarely, if eyer, any need OF
using soap on the face, except for dirty
people, or where there is much oil Sc
creted by the skin. Pure soft water IS
generally quite sufficient. As rule,
avoid the free usc of soap en- the skin
except the mildcst kinds. Face powders
injurc the skin, just as dirt does, by OBJ
structing the pores. If there is any
poison in the face powder, as there often
is, it only adds poison TO dirt, and makes
tbs matter so much the worse.
To any quantity OF gluo use common
whisky instead Of water. Put both to
gcther in a bottle cork tight, and set
it away for three or four days. 1t will
then be fit for use, without tho applica-
ton of heat. it will then be found a
useful and handy article in every house
hold.

two terms, and custom should grant
Martin that privilege. The only objcc-
ton that is publicly raised against Geo.
w. Martin is that Herman, his partner,
is . Reformer and on the strength of
that several papers have gone off on
long dispositions about "kiDg Caucus"
and the necessity of giving offices only
to Republicans, etc. Martin is the cam
didate-not Herman. Martin is Re-
publican and 10 him the Office is TO be
tsndcrod-not Herman. Ii Martin
chooses to associate purely in business
relations with Reformer, We cannot
see how the Republican party is to suit
fer. Herman runs the book binding
establishment, VIC believe. Constantly
in the society of so good Republican
as Martin, Herman may be converted 10
Republicanism. And then wont there
be moro rejoicing over one Reform
CT sinner saved than over ninety and
nine just Republicans made perfect J!
We think so. Probably all those
who aspire to succeed Geo. w. Martin
would be moro than pleased TO strike
even q Retormcr with capital enough to
assist them in buying the ext cnsive ma
chinery and material which Is necessary
in starting such concern as STATE
Printing Louise. While we are in favor
of drawing party lines as closely as most
we DO not think that here
is an occasion for the application of that
principle.
