ORG 1NI/ED LYING

Is there never to be an end OF lying? Here
is great political party already brought down
to defeat after fifteen years of continuous
power almost unchecked and unrestrained, try
ing to perpetuate itself by organized falsehood
and deception. 1t is painful comment upon
the political progress Of the past ten years
that the representative men-statesmen they
call themselves-of the dominant party have
deliberately set themselves at work to deceive
the country upon question of paramount in
terest to the people. Crowded to the verge
of defeat and compelled to take some action
for self preservation, this is the only method
they can devise-a Juggling trick of finance
by which they hope to deceive the country
with false and empty promise, upon the
strength of which they will be able to hold
their organization together and keep the party
in power. Is it not strange that men who
would shrink from the utterance of falsehood
or the practice of deception in their individual
dealings with their fellow men, can, in what
they consider the interests of party or under
the dictatiOn of a caucus, consent to and ap-
prove q deliberate and willful fraud upon the
people.
And yet this is precisely what the statesmen
of the Administration party have done in the
matter of the Senate Currency bill. Do we 20
too far in saying that the action of the party
with reference to this measure is organized
falseboodf Consider for moment the appar-
ent object of the bill, the diverse views
of the men who voted for it, the means
by which it's passage was effected, and
underneath it all the real purpose of the men
who drove it through under whip and
spur. This is a party measure; the child Of q
party caucus; it was carried through by
united party vote. 1t promises specie rcsump-
ton. The promise is so hollow that tho
avowed opponents of resumption voted for
it with their tongues in their cheeks. viii il

rs THERE No HELP FOB LOUISIANA.


Congress is in no hurry to NEEDLE with
Louisiana. And for that matter it never has
been. more calm and deliberate body Of
statesmen would be hard to find. And the
organs of the Administration are pretty much
of the same mind They are not aware that
anything has been done which calls for speedy
action on anybody's part. And they all unite
in deprecating haste. 1t is only a contest be-
tween two equally bad sets of politicians as
to who shall rule the State, they say, and it
is not worth while to get warm over such O.
matter Sheridan is there, and we can trust
him to preserve order and keep the peace, so
let us all wait patiently till the difficulty re-
solves itself, or the people make up their minds
to be content under the Kellogg Government.
And this is uncommonly disinterested advice.
The gentlemen who proffer it hold all the
cards, and have not only the game but the
whole stake in their hands. They are as calm
and serene as the Democrats Of the XXXIVth
Congress were when tho Border Ruflians were
in possession of tho Government Of Kansas

The first Intercollegiate Contest, whether con-
sidered with reference to the ability of the
work which it evoked, or the character and
numbers of the audience gathered to witness
it, or the enthusiasm which was displayed,
proved a much more marked and significant
success than even the best friends of the
undertaking had anticipated The judges
in the contest in essays gave very careful
attention to their task, and presented
a report giving at some length the reasons by
which they were guided in awarding the
prizes. 1t was more difficult for the judges in
oratory to reach satisfactory decision, and
several of the contestants, who re-
ceived no prizes from this Com
mittee, had the pleasure at least of secur-
ing the prize which every public speaker must
most cherish, the enthusiastic applause of his
audience. Mr.. Bryant in announcing the awards
made o graceful reference to the generous
gift of Mrs. Astor, by which the Committees
were enabled to make the prizes so handsome.
There can be little doubt that her action, and
the decided success of this first effort, will
lead to the establishment of this annual con-
test as permanent feature of American Col
lepp life

LOOK AFTER THE EYES. Multitudes of
men and women have made their eyes
weak for life by the too free use Of eye
sight, reading small print and doing fine
sewing. In view of these things it is we'll
to observe the following rules in the use
of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never read by twilight on a very cloudy
day.
Never sleep so that on waking the eyes
shall open on the light of the window.
DO not use eyesight by light so scant that
it requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in front OF
the light of a window
1t IS best to have the light from above,
or obiquely, or over the left shoulder.
Too much light creates a glare and
pains and confuses the sight, The moment
YOU are sensible of an effect to distinguish,
that moment stop and talk, walk or ride
AS the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be
blush tinge, the carpet green, and the
walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instlnctlvely IN
clined to rub the eyes that moment cease
to use them.
If the eydlids are glued together on
waking, do mot forcibly open them, but
apply saliva with the finger, and then
wash your eyes and face with warm
water

Any plan for preventing the freezing Of
water-pipes during these cold snaps will
be welcome. The following described
plan for accomplishing this object has
been invented in England:
1t is well known that when water freez-
es it expands, and that the force exerted
is so enormous that no pipe can resist it..
This invention is intended to give the
water chance to expand without bursting
the pipe 1t attempts this by securing in
the inside of the metal pipe a space equal
to the difference of volume between water
and ice, so when the water freezes it occu-
pies the space reserved for it instead OF ex-
erting its force on the pipe and bursting
it. This is practically carried out by pass
ing through the water-pipe small India
rubber tube, specially made for the pur-
pose, and of such diameter that the space
inside it is little more than equal to the
increase in volume of the ice. The India
rubber tube is always full of air, so that
when the water freezes it finds the neces-
sary space for expansion, for by compress
sing the air tube it displaces the air and
takes it's place. When the ice melts the
tube again expands, becomes filled with
air and is ready for another frost, and SO
on for any number OF times without re-
quiring attention.

Mixing Milk, or Keeping it Separate.

The Practical Farmer publishes an ex-
pertinent made at one OF the Experiment.
al farms in Pennsylvania. to determine the
relative advantage of setting the milk OF
different COWS separately, or mixed, as IS
usually practiced for butter making. -Four
COWS were taken, and their milk weighed
and divided equally, one half of each cows
milk being set. for one week, by itself and
churned separately. The other half was
all mixed together, and the cream churned
at once. The result of the experiment
will be little surprising to those who
have claimed that farmers lose large per
cent OF their butter by churning the cream
OF several COWS together, as the butter
will come from a part OF the cream quite
readily. while other portions are lost IN
the buttermilk. We are not aware that
any have claimed that it would pay to
thus keep the milk OF COWS separate, as
the increased cost of churning would be
very great but, from observations made
upon the structure of butter globules, it
has been claimed that an increased guam
tty of butter might be obtained from
herd of cows if each cows milk were
kept and churned by itself. The expert
ment at this farm showed that when the
milk was set and churned in one parcel, it
made 16 pounds and ounces Of butter.
and when it was kept and churned sep
arately, but IS pounds and II ounces were
made. 1t also took longer to churn the
cream when kept separate, than when
mixed The superintendent says that this
experiment has very little practical bear
ing, as no dairyman would want to keep
his milk all separated in this way, yet it
is satisfaction to feel that the most con-
venient way, in this case, at least, is also
the best

vanced to the hole and entered into con

he learned that the grave just completing

upon the frost in the ground and upon the

rived, however. he was on hand. and very
sedately conducted it to the grave the
Swede had dug, where the body was de-

neighborhood until the arrival of the fu-
neral procession with the second body.
