FAIRS AND SCHOOLS.
This year the Agricultural Socie

This year the Agricultural Society
Of Walworth Co., offered premiums
for educational exhibits to be made by
tie district and different graded
schools in the county. Supt. Isham
and the different teachers took hold
of the matter and promised to make it
a success. We were calculating to at
tend the fair at Elkhorn on purpose
to see this exhibit, but press Of bust
ness prevented lis from so-doing, but
we have learned that it was a success
beyond all anticipations. A large
number of the district schools were
represented, and five Of the graded
schools, viz.-Geneya, Sharon, Lyons,
Whitewater and Elkhorn.
The school at Elkhorn carried off
twelve premiums first, and six
second premiums, including the fir t
premium for the largest and best col
lection
The high school at Elkhorn entered
examination papers in Civil Govern
ment, Arithmetic and Grammar, and a
collection of over one hundred pressed
flowers each one correctly analysed
and no two of the same species. These
were finely mounted and attracted a
great deal of attention. Each of the
studies and the flowers carried off a
first premium.
The intermediate room received
second on Arithmetic Pemanship, and
Maps of Wis. The Grammar grade
received first on Maps Of Wis, and
second on Arithmetic and Grammar
The Primary room got first on Maps
of Walworih Co., and second on free
hand drawing.
Whitewater showed some very fine
drawings from the different grades,
and each of the other schools had fine
work in some branches.
But the best feature connected with
the exhibit was the interest manifested
by the people. A regular superintend-
ent was appointed, and from the time
the work was opened "wednesday
murning) until the close of the fair
Saturday evening" the stand was
thronged; and it is safe to say that
no other stand, in the building re-
ceived more q ttention.
Those having the matter in charge
feel we'll repaid for the time and
money spent, for they feel that the
Walworth county schools have done
we'll, aud that the people appreciate
the work.
Will our Agricultural Society do
anything for us next fall?

LIES
The whole campaign against the Re
publican party rests simply on a basis
OF lies; and which only live by constant
repetition and brazen assertion.
1t is lie that the Republican party
has contracted the currency.
1t is q lie that the currency has been
contracted.
1t is lie that there is not as much
currency in the country to-day as in

the rich man.
1t is lie that any Of it's legislation

ITEMS FOR FIELD AND HOU USE.

ALMOST every year we have some
germs of disease in the potato crop. If
the weather is dry they are mostly harm
less; but in the cool spell they deyelop
rapidly. One affected potato in the
middle of large heap will soon cause a
heavy loss in its vicinity. Last summer
in England was cold and wet. Potatoes
rotted badly in consequence. The
wonder is, in the moist climate which
there prevails, that potatoes should ever
be free from disease.

is prepared, about the thickness of
sweet oil, and placed in shallow trough.
The colors are sprinkled on the gum and

sheets of paper are taken, one by one,
bent in the form of bow, and gradually
let fall on the composition in the trough.
The colors, which float on the surface,
and portion of the mucilage adhere to
the paper, which is then taken up and
hung on racks to dry. The paper is
then finished by furnishing.
A CAKE called General Washing
toms breakfast cake" is made by using
two pounds -four, one quart milk, one
ounce butter, one teacupful thin yeast,
three eggs, one teaspoonful salt; warm
the milk and butter together, and pour
it lukewarm into the -four, and add the
other ingredients; mix this at night,
and put in pan three inches deep; in
the morning bake in quick oven three
quarters of an hour This cake was al
ways on General Washington's breakfast
table the last few years of his life.
CUsTARD pies may be made without
milk. Beat together thoroughly five
eggs, five tablespoonfuls of sugar and
little salt; pour into this one pint of
boiling water, stirring briskly while
adding the water flavor with spices
most pleasing to the taste, and complete
the pie the same as other custards
This quantity is sufficient for two pies.
They are very nice, and custard made
in this manner may be eaten after
pickles, or any sour fruit, by people
with weak stomachs, without producing
any disagreeable effect.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Los Angeles
Herald relates the effects of placing
few leaves of the castor-oil plant under
trees that were being destroyed by grass
hoppers. So remarkable was the result
that an actual count of the number
killed under one tree was four hundred
and ninety-eight dead choppers" with
about twenty more in dying condition.
Judging from the effects so soon pro-
duced by the small portion of the leaves
eaten, there must have been material
left to kill ten times as many. The

When the high water came he had the
finest crops in the county. His potatoes
were immense; his corn was from
twenty-four to forty feet high; his bean
stalks had grown out of sight, and his
cabbage heads we're big as base drums.
His frau ard himself were the happiest
couple in the State of Indiana, and were
about to send to the Fatherland for all
of their relatives.
But, according to the tax collector,
the rains and the foods came. Swiftly
and steadily the water encroached upon
his farm; it touched the bottom of his
fence; it crawled through the cracks and
spread through his potato vines; it rose
to the top of his mammoth cabbage
heads, and threatened to climb the bean
poles. He WAS troubled.
Gone mornin'-the mornin' we stood
on the river bank as aforesaid-he took
boat an pair of grapplin' hooks an

THE following method of rendering
raw meat palata bic to invalids is given
in the Industrie Blaetter: To 81 ounces
of raw meat from the loin add &c
ounces of shelled sweet almonds, IT
ounces of shelled bitter almonds and 2.8
ounces of white sugar-these to be
beaten together in marble mortar to a
uniform pulp, and the fibers separated
by strainer. The pulp, which has a
rosy hue and very agreeable taste, does
not at all remind one of meat, and may
be kept fresh for considerable time,
even in summer, in dry, cool place.
The yelk of an egg may be added to it.
From this pulp, or directly from the
above substances, an emulsion may be
prepared which will be rendered still
more nutritious by adding milk. Lailer
prepares 3.5 ounces of dried raw meat,
IA ounces of sugar, Z ounce of wine,
and one ounce of tincture of cinnamon.

L" To Have and to Hold"
Detroit News.l


Several days ago prominent Episco-
pal clergyman of this city was invited
to one of the hotels to marry a couple
from Canada. They did not want any
witnesses, and they wanted the ceremony
to be about one minute long. To this
the reverend gentleman objected. Under
the laws of the State marriage is not
valid which is not witnessed by two per-
sons. They were procured, and the
couple struck an attitude calculated to
show to- advantage an array of fine
clothes, and two rather good looking
faces, the owners of which would ESQ the
marriage certificate stately never see
their twenty-sixth birthday again. The
ceremony ran smoothly until the pledges
were given.
Il Kate" continued the minister.
II Kate" she faltered.
Take thee, William"
"Take thee, William"
"To be my welded husband"
"To be my welded husband"
"To have and to hold"
A smile puckered the corners of her
mouth, which was finally extended in a
hearty laugh; no response. The minis
ter was astounded at the untimely ex-
erbition of frivolity; the witnesses were
highly amused, and the would be BRIDE
groom struggled to retain his self-pos-
sission.
"To have and to hold" repeated the
minister.
"To have-Te! hel he!" and she
broke down again. A repetition of
the former scene was broken into by the
solemn and commanding voice.
" To have and to hol-"
"To-" she began then INDUCED in
a frenzy of mirth which spread to all
but the dignifed, and chagrined tyer of
knots.
&C You think this a very trivial mat
ter" he said sternly, "but I fancy you
won't find it SO funny if you intend be-
ginning life together in this ridiculous
manner. Eve mind to punish you by
refusing to complete the ceremony, but
on second thought, l think it will be bet
ter to read you homily and then l will
finish that which l have begun if
| have to stay here till tomorrow morn
ing"
The homily was delivered, and the
couple, now quite serious, resumed their
trying position, and were duly mar
ried
" | wouldn't have laughed" said the
bride, by way of explanation, "but
never heard the Episcopal marriage
ceremony before, and it was so funny to
think that had got to promise to hold

meant by loving salutation) all the rest
of my life, that couldn't keep from

morning, after Tom had gone, she had
found dollar in the coffee cup. She
knew that he had left it for her. She
had been out and bought tea and sugar
and -four and butter, and bit of tender
steak and all day long ray of light had
been dancing and shimmering before
her-a ray from the blessed light of
other days. With prayer and hope she
had set out the tea table, and waited, but
the sun went down and no Tom came.

The Northeastern Railway Company
in England was recently sued by Chin
ney sweep for breach of contract in re-
fusing to carry him as passenger. The
defendant argued that the sweep would
have been nuisance to the other pas
sengers, or to later travellers who might
occupy his seat. But it was to an empty
carriage that the sweep was refused adj
mission, and the judge held that the an
noyance must be to persons who were
actually fellow-passengers, and that no
account could be taken of persons who
might subsequently enter the car. The
law applies equally to millers and it is
suggested that separate compartments
