. PEN PORTRAIT OF PRESIDENT
3+.sf HAYES.

r. a Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press describes PreSi-
dent Hayes as a very cheerful man,
with a full sandy beard, slightly touch
ed with silver streaks; a full face, rud-
.dy and glowing with health; no crows
feet, no burrows. 8 well shaped mouth,
good teeth; two large, open blue eyes
of kindly expression; smile on his
lips; high, broad, clear forehead: a
voice deep, strong and sonorous: large.
|shapely limbs; full breast, quick but
not nervous of movement; moderately
quick but not rapid of speech; a good
listener, calm, cool, dispassionate, any,
thing but radical never cross, short or
sharp; always affable, kind and candid,
with no secrets to whisper, no plots to
promote, no tricks to explain: open as
the day, f1rm as rock, pure as a Wo-
man, with no bad habits, whether of
tobacco whisky, or any thing else;
pure and plain of speech, popular among
all classes, without affectation, mock
dignity, or least the suspicion of dema-
goguery; wearing the same face for all,
speaking the same language to all,
bearing himself with dignity and mod
est reserve; regular in his hours, happy
in his family relations as man can be,
strong in the affections of the people;
such is General Hayes, the new PreSi-
dent Of the United States. No man was
eyer SO fortunate. He has not single.
personal enemy in Ohio, fact true
perhaps of no other prominent politi-
clan in Ohio. In all his long public ca
reer IS Congressman, General in the
army, Governor three times, there is
nothing to explain, and no charge has
ever been made against him of any
kind whatsoever 1t is doubtful if any
man living is less open to criticism or
|reproach. Even the Democratic men,
bers of the Ohio General Assembly, at
the end of this protracted campaign,
speak well Of him.

LEMON SYRUP FOB, LEMONADE.

Press the lemons, rolling them on the
table SO as easier to squeeze out the
juice, and press into wooden dish all
that will readily drop out. Then re-
move the pulp, put, say, pint of wa
ter a dozen pulps, and let it boil short
time in the preserving kettle Then
strain, add the pure juice, let it boil a
quarter of an hour, then bottle an seal
ready for use. A teaspoonful or two
of this will make glass Of lemonade
good enough for anybody to drink Do
not put into very large bottles, as it
keeps better not to be very long opened.
This same preparation will do nicely
Favored with extract of lemon, for pies,
but some can be made expressly. Crate
off the yellow rind-never the white,
as that is bitter-and add this to the
prepared juice before boiling it down.
Boil it more into jelly for pies some
times putting into jelly glasses, which
saves b0ttling up, 1t is not, however,
as convenient to make up as the thinner
syrup, but sure to keep-if you don't
use it right up. Then, any time, if you
have no lemon at hand, or if company
comes Unexpectedly, you can hurry up
a lemon pie, and make it as from fresh
lemons

Charles O'Conor's peculiar wooing is
thus told by the Washington CORES
pondent of the Cleveland Herald: ''Ehe
young and beautiful widow Of Commo-
dore McCracken Of our navy returned
from abroad, and, finding her financial
affairs in complicated state. went to
Mr.. OConner to get his legal advice.
Mr., O'Conor discovered that the Com
modore had died insolyent, and the
beautiful widow was left to the cold
mercies of a selfish world without a
penny to call her own. This he was
obliged to break to her, Whereupon she
held up her hands in piteous dismay,
crying: oh, Mr.. O'Conor, what shall
do? [ who have lived in luxury all
my life! Madam, said the great law
yer, the best advice I can give you is to-
marry me- They were married"

Washing Blankets,

It looks almost as if the weather
would soon permit you to take off the
blankets, and so we give you "Pipsy
Potts simple method Of washing
them:
Put tub full Of blankets to soak in
tepid water in which you have dis
solved cts worth Of good borax. Do
this the afternoon or evening before
the day you want to wash your blank
cts. Occasionally press them down OF
turn them over. In the morning, pour
on hot water, add q little soap, and
press and squeeze them thoroughly be-
fore wringing. Then put them
through one clean, hot suds, and they
will be soft and white. We hope you
all have washers and wringers, and
that you use them and take good care
of them, and award to them just
sense of appreciation.

ONE HONEST TRAMP DISCOVERED

The Hudson IN. I y Register says
" AS proof that the tramp is not always
the soulless creature that he is gen
orally credited with being, we note an
incident to his credit which recently
happened. One Of these wayfarers
called at the house of citizen and
begged pair of pants with which to
cover his nakedness, and received them
with gratitude. Sometime after his
departure he returnd saying that in the
fob pocket he had found a gold ring,
inscribed with initials, which he had
thought might at least be valuable from
association, and he had therefore found
his way back to restore it. The ring
had been missing some months and was.
gladly received by the rightful owner.
Score oRe for the tramp"

THE GARDEN A pleasant writer
gives expression to the following:
| The first recollection of early life is
amid the shrubbery Of my mothers
garden. To me Eden was just such a
lplace. [ have carried the picture
through long years since, in the town
or country, at home and abroad, my
one desire has been to possess just such
a spot. The future culture and enjoy
ment in this country is to be upon the
farm Not the dreary, slovenly, uncul-
tivated farm, but the improved farm,
che art garden, the landscape, and the
orchard. A possessor of a farm and
director of any of the many operations
of neat, handsome, thoroughly titled
and embellished homestead is to be
among the most elevated and respect
ed positions in the nation. The future
Of the nation is in the farm and the
fruit, art and landscape garden. Wed
yourself to a piece Of land and make it
an Eden, and hold to it in spite of all
the temptations of the world.

The laborer's cottage may have an
air of thrift and refinement about it as
we'll as the rich mans palace. To
bring about this condition is both easy
and cheap. If it has no paint upon it
and the owner is not able to have it
painted, or if it has been so built that
it is not adapted to painting, it may
have grape vine or trailing rose up
the side of the wall. If some panes of
glass are patched, "a helotrope or fuchsia,
or verbena in box upon the window
sill may entirely hide the defect. If
there is no gravel walk running in
graceful curves to the front door, few
trees or inexpensive shrubbery set in
good taste along the humble foot-path
may form scene equally as attractive
to most persons, and far more attract
i've to some; such, for instance, as hap
pen to have the spirit of poetry or of
romance about their compositions. In
deed it is not money and the great dis
play of it's workings that tells the true
story of thrift and refinement, but it is
that general appearance of order, good
taste and industry that makes it plain
in the eyes of all sensible people.

A PROPHETIC WARNING.

Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota, has
received q letter that sounds like a
voice from the grave, protesting against
a conciliatory policy toward the South.
On the 9th of the present month, D. A.
Weber, tax collector of East Felicia
ma parish, Louisiana, was shot and
killed in the street near his home. The
verdict of the Coroner's jury assigned
the guilt to persons unknown. Bena-
tor Mcmillan received from the same
Mr.. Weber the following letter, dated
March Sd, three days before his death :
MY DEAR Mr.. SENATOR: [ see by
the Associated Press dispatches that
President Grant will not recognize
Gov. Packard. It is even asserted that
President-elect Hayes is committed to
such line Of policy. If this should
prove true, if after our services to the
nation we are to be left in the hands
of Nichols and his murderers, you
MI. Senator, who have had the oppor-
tunity to judge our cause, will under
stand how soon the murderers will be-
gin their work. 1t would be but a few
days work to wipe out of existence ev.
cry white Republican, and with Cul
i downfall comes that of the innocent
negroes whose vote saved the nation
| appeal to you, Mr.. Senator, not as q
Republican, bnt as friend of justice
to do battle for those who are power
less. Our lives, our property, and the
|security of or families depend upon
you, and those of your confreres in the
Senate who understand our position
Since my return from New Orleans anC
my attendance upon your committees
| have been at home cooped up in the
house, unable to appear on the streets
without mourning danger. If I were
alone, without wife or children or prop
erty, could easily adopt myself to the
present condition of affairs, but can
not desert my all, even if it should cost
me my life. Hoping you will pardon
this liberty in addressing you, [ remain
very respectfully yours,
D. A. WEBER"

PEACH PROSPECTS IN MICHIGAN.-
tits said that the peach buds along the
eastern shore of Lake Michigan are,
very little injured. If this is so, the
prospects at present are excellent for a
fine crop of fruit. What the weather
of the next few weeks may be is of
course. uncertain, but from present
indications it is hardly likely that the
buds will become forward too fast, as
was feared during portion of Febru-
airy, and be cut off by Spring frosts.

SECRETARY OF STATE EyARTS Die

SECRETARY OF STATE EvARTs pro-
poses to take foreign bull by the
horns and twist it's neck. It seems that
heretofore the State Department has
either been afraid, or been possessed by
a morbid delicacy, about making Con-
suls to Germany of German-born but
naturalized citizens of this country. 1t
would seem as if such men, possessing
the proper qualifications for the posi-
ton, ought to be the very ones who
should represent the United States
and as for Germany SO for other coun-
tries. Secretary Fish did not act upon
this liberal view of the matter, how
ever, for some reason; but his successor
will proceed upon the basis that such
citizens are proper persons for those
foreign offices. and will give them the
recognition of his new official policy in
appointments. This is right and fair,
and would be only a proper apprecia-
ton of the justice due, to our foreign
born citizens.

SHAKER BURIALs,

y now OOO11 AC1 UOoOClAs Ny A1NiOA =
W. Evans, of the Church Family Of
at MT. Lebanon, to publish
the following article on shaker Buri-
ais" a'l."tElD @taD @<@ to sas-i"a
Mt. LEBANON, Feb. 10, 1917.
The world buy Shaker brooms, wear
Shaker bonnets, plant Shaker garden
seeds-why not adopt the Shaker form
OF Burials DO the general public
know how simply and sensibly these
people bury their dead? They are like
Socrates, to his friend Critic, who was
anxious as to his disposal, after he had
drunk the hemlock- do what you like
with me Critic, if you can catch me."L
Shaker burials are plain-plain all
through. The boards of the well-made
coffin are plained-nothing more. A
plain white cloth is thrown over it.
Through window, near the head Of
the coffin, friends can take 8 last look
at the neYer-again-to -be-a animated form
and features. Truthful, kindly, words
are spoken of the departed, but still
present spirit. Honest praise, to which
all present say Amen, may be given,
and confirmed by candid, friendly crit
icism of faults and weaknesses, that
others may notice to avoid. AS all
present know the departed like a we'll
read book, there is place for neither de-
traction nor flattery. Time and again
disembodied spirits attend and officiate
at their own Obsequies, to the ediflca-
ton and comfort of the survivors,
thus, settling anew the ever recurring
questi0n-"if a man die, shall he live
again?'
Cody sorrow there may be-often
is-but no mourning as the children
of this world mourn. Has the life of
the departed been widely known-and
we'll spent, spirit Of heavenly triumph
and pure rejoicing ofttimes pervades
the whole assembly. "Not he that put
teth on, but he that putteth off the har-
ness, may rightfully boast
Thus the Shakers love, and thus they
live their quaint, quiet, simple and
practical lives-and thus do they bury
their dead ont of their sight, not unto
sight, by making ostentatious mani
festations of love to them, and sorrow
at their demise which they do not feel
The popular custom of exhibiting and
measuring private grief by the length
of the cortege and costumes of the
casket and it's appurtenances, making
public show that the public knows is
huge falsehood, would be more hon
ored in the breach than in the Observ.
ance. Often, we are informed Of fami.
lies reduced to real poverty, by the ex-
haustive sickness of the deutschland
nursing and doctors bills, supplement.
ed by an expensive, senseless, knocking
funeral that the friends are not at all
able to bear. Sometimes debts are
thus contracted.
Who among the leaders Of fashion
will inaugurate new era in Burials?
When the dead Christian requires q
veneered mahogany, gold and silver
plated casket, carried to the cemetery
with gaudy trappings, plumes and
tassals amid fashion-dressed, kid-gloved
mourners, we'll may the finale be $10,-

gan, barbarian condition.

The Poet Laureate, Mr.. Tennyson
opens new English magazine, styled
the Nineteenth Century, with the fol
lowing sonnet:
Those that of late had fleeted far and fast
To touch all shores, now leaving to the skill
Of others their old craft SeaWorthy still,
Our true co-mates regather round the mast,
OF divers tongues, but with a common will
Here, in this roaring moon of daffodil
And crocus, to put forth and brave the blast;
Of boar, high-templed Faith, have leaeued
again
Their lot with ours to rove the world about;
And some are wilder comrades sworn to seek
If any golden harbor be for men
In seas of Death and sunless gulf of Doubt.

ladies who have invaded the profess

prominent men in the East who have
seen and tested it's qualities for several
years past. 1t is said to be superior to
any other grape cultivated in New

qualities of a First-class Grape, and
contains larger amount of sugar, ten
