CRACKER DESSERT. Choose whole
soda-crackers, and lay upon a sepai ate
email plate. Pour upon it enough boil
ing water to soak it we'll, and leave none
upon the plate cover with dressing

CERTAIN CURE FOR A RATT1EsNAKE
BITE OR SPIDER STNa.-A physician in
| Oregon writes Take the yolk of g
/ good egg, put 1t in a teaeup and stir in
as much salt as will spread a plaster
and apply TO the wound. Do this when
bitten or stung, and 1 will insure your
lie for a sixpence. I have tried this
remedy IN number Of cases, and never
known it TO fail"
| To BAKE HAM.-Most people boil
| ham. 1t is much better baked, if baked
right. Soak for an hour in clean water,
and wipe dry. Next spread it all over
/ with thin butter and then put it in a
deep dish with sticks under it to keen
it out of the gravy. When it is fully
| don ,, take off the skin and matters
crusted on the flesh side, and set it
| away to cool.
ERAsIvR SoAP.-Recipe for making
! genuine erasive soap that will remove
grease and stains from clothing: Two
| pounds of good CASTLE soap, half pound
OF carbonate of potash dissolved in a
haif-pint of hot water. Cut the soap in
thin slices, boil the soap with potash
until it is thick enough to mold in
cakes R'so add alcohol, half an ounce;
camphor, half an ounce hartshorn,
half an ounce color with half an ounce
of pulveTized charcoal.
PRESERVATION OF CUr FLOWERS.
Cut flowers may be kept quite fresh for
length of time, even in warm apart
ments, by the following plan Pour
some water in dish, then place the
vase or glass containing the flowers
therein, and put bell glass over them.
\ The heat of the room will cause an ex-
| halatiOn to arise under the glass, and
/ the dewy PARTICLES thereof, descending
/ on tho flowers, viii keep them for a
/ ong time IN bloom and freshness.
MARK YouR TooLs.-You can easily
mark your name upon steel by a pro-
| cess called etching. Coat over the tools
/ with thin layer of wax or hard tallow,
| 10y frat warming the steel and rubbing
on the wax warm until il flows and let
/ It cool. When hard, mark your name
L through the wax with q graver and
/ apply some squefOrtis (nitric acid);
alter few moments wash of the acid
thoroughly with water. warm the metal
enough TO melt the wax, and rub it of
with soft rag. The letters viii be
found etched into the steel.

In FOR IT AGAIS.-D. R. Anthony has another
libel sdit on his hands. He has recently been
engaged in lawsuit for the highly moral and
lawful purpose Of collecting gambling debt
or a bet, which is the same thing. man named
Hines was a witness, and his testimony was
strongly against Anthony. Thefore the Times
came out and charged Hines with knowingly
and willfully swearing to a lie. Hines at once
brought an action for libel The fact of the bus
iness is just this: if the Legislature does not
soon abolish that Criminal Court of Leavenworth,
and permit the existence of only such Courts as
Anthony can brow-heat and run, it will not be
many months before he is bankrupted by fines,
and gets soeked into Jail on sentence of one
year, for lying.

representing Daniel S. Dickinson, as he was
seen when attacked with strangulated rupture.

must be! Daniel S. Dickinson was great and
benevolent man; yet here you see what fear

pursuing poor old man, with his murderous
weapon drawn upon him. The old man has
dropped his hat and cane, and stands bent and
covering, momentarily expecting Daniel S. Dick

House Bill No. s99.

Mr.. Motter has introduced into the House a
bill entitled "An Act to Encourage Persons or
Corporationsin the Protection of Valuable Lands
against Floods and foundations" The gist of
the bill lies in the first Section, which is as
follows:
SECTION l. Where any person or corporation shall for
the purpose of protecting valuable work Of public
lands in the State Of Kansas by use Of dixie. piles nip
shall be permitted ont upon said Improvements
nifty per centun Of all taxes to be paid by such person
men into the County Treasury of the County in which
such work shall be performed PrOrided That this
hanks 50 dsiance Of al least one mile and
the said s.aoas. Of fsy sh-i h.-o been .st.-
prorded further that the benefits Of ts act shall not e1.
tend beyond period of five years to any such
corporation.
1t allows persons who construct the works
their taxes by such work. Any man, association
of men, bridge or railroad company, who con-
struct Ievees, dykes, ripraps, to protect their
own land or property, if such works are one mile
or rmore in extent, they escape the payment of one
half their taxes, in consideration of such work
As there must be certain amount of revenue
raised, the consequence will be, the balance of
the taxpayers must pay an increased tax, to
make good that deduction If railroad Comma
ny is taxed $4,000, it may pay $4,000 by pro-
tecting its own property, and the people of the
County must pay 81, 1000 more than they other
wise would, to make up that amount. 1t is
simply taxing the people of the entire County
for the protection of private property, and max
ing the County party in carrying on the i'm
provements. We have no doubt that land along
the Missouri River needs protection, and the
owners would hail this law with decided approv-
al. But we doubt whether the people of the
balance of the County would relish paying for
the improvements.
Mr.. Bridges sends us copy of the bill, and
wishes to hear from his constituents in every
part of the County, so that he may vote so as to
represent a majority of the people, should the
bill reach the Senate. We publish the first sec
tion, in order to let the people know what the
proposition is. The comments are our own, and
are intended as our response to his request.

Y The Kansas House of Representatives
have passed bill regulating the prices for State
Printing, which, if it becomes a law, will make
it impossible for any man to do the work. In
many cases, the prices are fixed much less than
hands can be hired to do the work for, to say
nothing of q fair profit for the Printer. The
new law makes it the duty of the Secretary of
State to furnish the paper-which is simply
opening up broad avenue of jobbery in that Of
fee. The prices need reducing, but lot of men
have taken it in hand, who have no more knowl-
edge or discretion in the matter than so many
tree-frogs. 1t is to be hoped that the Senate
will consider the subjectin spirit of justice and

We think he is too sweeping in his assertions, for
we believe that the proportion of virtuous wo-

one to believe. Still, there is no doubt that the
crime Of which he treats prevails to fearful ex-

about it than the majority of the people.

STILL BETTER.-A friend in whose judgement
we have great confidence, has suggested that he
thinks our military position is one in the caval-
ry, and not in the infantry. That just suits us |;
for if there is anything upon which We pride our
self more than upon our military valor and our
disposition to shoot or stick something, it is up
on our horsemanship. We are, in that case, en-
titledto almost two years back pay for our horse.
That will be several hundred dollars more. We
are just making money hand over fist Another
fat lead that this opens up, is the chance of get
ting pay for horses lost in the service. We know
men who served in the army, who have been
putting in horse claims ever since Whenever
they get hard up, and can no longer borrow or
steal few dollars, they make out claim for a
horse lost in the service, swear to it, and divide
with some honest claim agent who succeeds in
diddling the Government out of the amount
