A Formidable Movement.

A Washington special says Senator
Blaine left for New York Thursday night,
and will return here on Saturday. 1t is
stated by those who claim to know what is
going on that there is formidable move
ment on foot in the republican party in
opposition to the administration, and that
the first step in the scheme is to procure a
reversal of the decision of the president
which postponed the extra session of con-
gress until October. 1t is said that Pc
tition for session in June signed by a
very large number of members of congress
is 10 be prepared, and that this petition
will be published. The republicans from
Pennsylvania are reported to be at work
upon this scheme, and rumor even goes 30
far as to state that Mr.. Conkling and Mr..
Blaine have come to the same way of think
ing on this matter. 1t is furthermore re-
ported that the movement for an early SEES
sion has the support of two or three mem
bers of the cabinet. There is undoubtedly
an effort making in the direction indicated,
but until there are some further develop
ments in regard to it the reports which are
in circulation here should be taken with a
great deal of reserve.

An Extraordinary Tragedy.

The following recently occurred at Spa
latzo in the Austrian province of Dalma-
tia. Opposite the parish church lived a
householder named Tonic, who, becoming
suddenly a prey to mad rage, killed his
wife and then his father, who had attempt
ed to restrain him. When the police came
they found that Tonic had everywhere
effectually barred an entry, and taken up a
commanding position with a musket and
plenty of ammunition. They were there
fore compelled to turn back, and mean
while Tonic put bullet through young
man who crossed the street, and severely
wounded woman. The police then drew
a Gordon around the house, but Tomic's
musket commanded the space between his
house, the church and the top of the ad-
jacent streets, and no one dare TO cross the
STREET or approach the body of the young
man. AT length clergyman who had
great influence with Tonic bravely went
forward and imploTed him at least to give
up to his care his little child. The fathers
answer to this appeal was by throwing out
her limbs one by one Then he resumed
his fusilade. The authorities would not
allow the police to fire, inasmuch as they
deemed the man bereft of reason. So the
only course was to continue the blockade.
All sorts of devices were suggested. Some
were for firing on Tonic with supplying
cartridges, others for concentrating the fire
engine force on the house, and at this time
the unhappy sexton of the parish was
sending up from the bell tower wall for
food, be having gone to ring the bell just
before the tragedy began, and bis only
mode of egress being in front of the ma
MACS window. After the blockade had
lasted two days and Tonic showed no signs
of giving in, it was resolved to keep up
perfect hailstorm of stones at all the win
dows of the house while the door was
forced. The mailman flew to the garnet,
where it was no easy matter to disarm
without killing him. Altogether, he had
killed four and wounded five persons.

Patriotism VS.. Selfishness.

To aohOm IL may concern:
1t is undoubtedly true that the citizens of
the town would repel the assertion that
they are not as patriotic and generous as
citizens of other towns, and as ready TO do
honor (where it costs nothing) to the men,
DRY of the country's noble dead who in the
dark days of our nations history went
forth to endure the weary marches, priva-
tons, sickness, dangers and death, of
which only a soldier knows. And was it
for self? No But that you and yours
might have the blessings and prosperity
which you enjoy to-day.
The Both day of May each year has been
set apart by common custom and legal en-
actment as the day to publicly decorate the
honored graves with flowers. That these
ceremonies might be more fitting and be-
coming the occasion the few old soldiers re-
maining-comrades Of the deceased-have
arranged an order of exercises, grafton,
music, etc., that has proven acceptable to
the public. The ladies-God bless them
have always provided an abundance of
beautiful MOWERS, but 1t is not necessary to
say what every one must know that there
is considerable expense attending all such
occasions, and it is the duty and should be
cheeriully and voluntarily performed by
the many citizens who are omfortably well
off if not rich, instead of leaving the whole
expense to be met by the few old soldiers
The committee having the matter in charge
at the recent Decoration day, instead of
circulating subscription paper as usual
just among the business men, sent through
the mail 10 two hundred and fifty (250)
men in all parts of the town, every one of
whom is abundantly able to pay ten times
the amount expected of them-circulars
asking them to contribute such sum as they
were willing in aid of so noble an object.
There have only Just four persons contrib
uted, amounting to seven dollars. Is that
right, is 1t patriotic, is it an honorable rec
ord for the citizens of this town.

ACHEAP HARD SoAP.-Many housekeep-
ers in the country know how difficult it is to
obtain good article of bar soap. The yellow
soap, sold at stores, cuts as soft as cheese, and
rubs away as easily, and unless the housewife
orders box of soap at time and puts it up
in the attic or some dry place, the yearly re-
cord will show good SUM paid out for soap
purchased by the bar. The following receipt
will prove desirable item of economy:
Four large bars of yellow soap; two pounds
of sal.soda three ounces of borax one ounce
of liquid ammonia. Shave the soap in thin
slices, put it into eight quarts of soft water
Grain water is the best). When the soap is
nearly dissolved, add the borax and sal-soda
stir till all is melted. Pour into large tub
or shallow pan; when nearly cool add the
ammonia slow y, mixing it we'll. Let it stand
day or two, then cut into cakes or bars, and
dry it in warm place. No better soap can
be made to wash white clothes, calicoes, and
flannels, and it is excellent for household pur-
poses. 1t costs three cents per pound and is
made in less than halfan hour. This receipt
has been sold for FIVE dollars, and will be of
service to every family.-Southern Farmer.

AREA OF FARMs.-According to the Gen.
sus, twelve of the States of the Union have
farms that average less than 125 acres in ex-
tent. In some of the States the average runs
up as high as 500 acres. These twelve States
are: Maine, averages SO acres New Hamp-
shire, 1872; Massachusetts, 1903; Connecticut,
SO; Rhode Island, "a; New York, 1O3; New
Jersey. SO; Pennsylvania, 1903; Indiana,
112; Ohio, Ill; Michigan, 1Ol; Wisconsin,
114 While the total value of the farms in
the United States is put down at s9,262, ,SO3,-
361, the value in the above small-farm States
foots up s5,4O7, ,5S7 ,17S, or nearly three-ffths
of the total--and this too while the area of
these States is less than one-tenth of the area
of the whole country. This proves the supe.
riority of the small-farm system so far as Pc
cuniary results are involved.

s@ When the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada was completed, in 1860, many of the
farmers had never heard of, much less seen,
a railway; but it soon got reported around
that passengers could travel by it, and even
cattle. A backwoodsman, who was indebted
to country merchant, was pushed by the lat
ter for payment of the amount due, and the
only means of liquidating the debt was by
taking fat OK to the Quebec market. For
this purpose he tied his OK to the back of his
cart, and drove to the railway station, dis.
tance of nine miles. On surveying the train,
and seeing an iron railing around the platform
of the hind car, he concluded that that was
the place to tie his OK, which he accordingly
did, taking place in second-class car HIM
self forward. Presently the train began to
move off slowly. The speed increased; quick
er and quicker it went. The poor man got
very 6dgetty, the speed still increasing, until
large drops of sweat became visible on his
brow. By this time the conductor had reach
ed his car to collect the tickets. Nearly
out of breath, the man ran to him, exclaim-
"My dear conductor. my OK will never be
able to keep up with this pace; it is not pos
sl6le.'
"Your OK! Keep up to this pace! What
do you mean? I don't understand you.
Have you an oxen on board?
"Not on board, of course. I tied him to
the railing of the hind car
"You tied your OK to the railing of the hind
car? Who told you to do so?'
mo one; but that is the way we always do
in the country"
Of course the conductor could not stop his
train before reaching the next station, when,
it is needless to say, on looking for the OK, they
found attached to the rope a pair of horns,
with small portion of the neck.
Mr.. Bergh could scarcely call this cruelty
to animals, as it was not intended.
The humane conductor made collection
among the passengers on the spot, realizing
larger amount than the OK would have
brought at market, which he presented to
the crestfallen farmer, who Immediately re-
turned home, vowing he would never have
oxen taken to market by railway again. He
has kept his word, and to this day he leads
his OK to market behind his own cart.

JAPANESE METHOD OF COOKING RICE.-A
letter from Japan says: "They know how to
cook rice here. Only just enough cold water
is poured on to prevent the rice from burning
to the bottom of the pot, which has close
fitting cover and is set on moderate fire.
The rice is steamed, rather than boiled, until
it is nearly done; then the cover of the pot is
taken of, the surplus steam and moisture are
allowed to escape, and the rice turns out
mass of snow white kernels, each separate
from the other. and as much superior to the
soggy mass we usually getin the United States,
as fine mealy potato is to water'soaked ar
ticle."
