Warren hurled the weapon, with unerr-

Then, as the line ran whipping through
the chocks of the boat, the kinks which
had been arranged by Thompson to en-
snare the life of the mate, flew upward
like wreathing serpents, forming a
"bight," which, glancing past the first Of

recaptured, killed and towed to the ship.

Country Ho ell Recipes.

SCRAMBLED EGGs.-Take nine parts OF
eggs and one part of good oil lard. Ii
suspicious of the health of any OF the eggs
give them the benefit of the doubt and
put them in with the rest. Then turn
into skillet which has previously held
fried mackerel, and scramble them with
a potato-masher. Fry until tough or
thoroughly impregnated with the fish
and lard; add little of the uncooked
eggs which remain in the pan to give
them a fresh appearance; set IN place
to cool, and then serve.
SrEAK.-Catch bull and cut off
piece so near his horns that you can
smell powder. Pound in the morning
before people are out of bed; hang it up
in the sun to get tender, and fry for sup
per- Retry for breakfast. Fry again for
supper, and so on ad lib., until the steak
gets discouraged. Cooked in this man
ner, it will provoke such flashes of In

Corn CAKES. Stake unbolted oatmeal
ten cups full; add one slop-bucket full

and three quarts of buttermilk. Stir
cook until they are black-and-tan, an6

wit, but ungainly in appearance and

eye, she watched him very intently. The
clergyman was quite equal to the emer-
gency. Walking directly to her he took
her hand and said: my dear Marie,

father and venerable mother and when
did you come to town ?" Overwhelmed

the Grant reception, saw one of the
street cars coming down Clay street, and
rushing into the crowd yelled ont: "Get

RENTS IN IRELAND.-O Our Dublin cor
respondent writes under date of August
14th: The agitation for reduction of
rent, which has hitherto been confined
to some districts of the south and west,
has now penetrated to the north, and the
first demonstration in support of it was
held yesterday at Toomonridge, County
Antrim. 1t was composed of persons re-
presenting the farming classes from the
adjoining districts of Antrim, London
derry and Tyrone, and was held in large
hall called the Temple of Liberty, and
was crowded to excess, the meeting num-
bering, it is stated, over 1000 persons.
Mr.. Brown, farmer, presided. The
meeting was addressed by several tenant
farmers and seven resolutions on the
subject of rent and the land question
were adopted. They declared the ne
eessity for the reduction of rents to be
mandatory" in the present alarming
and critical state of agriculture, and ap-
pealed to the landlords ''to consider the
propriety, the wisdom and humanity of
sympathizing with their tenantry in their
distress, and of showing practically their
appreciation of the circumstances of the
case by voluntarily conceding an ade-
quate reduction of rent" They further
IL.
the landlords and tenants were partners
in the land, the law should make provis-
ion for determining, in case of dispute,
what is fair rent, without the necessity
and barbarity of ejecting the tenant be-
fore the court can interfere; also that the
restriction of free sale of the land,
which was caused by the laws of primo
geniture and entail, should beabolished,
but as a temporary expedient, until a
general distribution of the land should
be made, they were in favor of extending
the Ulster tenant-right custom to all parts
of Ireland, and they declared that the GUS
tom consisted of ''free sale of his hold
ing by the tenant, fair rent and contin-
uous occupancy" They finally express
ed approval of the policy embodied in the
Bright clause of the Land act, and re-
solved that Parliament would be asked
to ccneede facilities for giving more eff
feet to these clauses, and promoting the
the formation of a peasan, ,ry proprietary.
These resolutions contain definition of
the tenant custom, which it sought to
have affirmed by the Legislature, but
which is inconsistent with the terms of
thr Land act.-London Times.

Sick Room Rules.

/. Whenever you go to see sick per-
son never take a brass band; brass bands
are more or less expensive. If, how
ever. you take brass band with you, let
each man play different air, finishing
up by 'sTom O'Shanter" on the bass
drum. 1t is best to have this last exc
cuted in the room directly underneath
the sick chamber.
2. Always ring the bell as though you
were trying to pull the back yard out by
the roots Continue this until you get
seven or eight fire engines playing on the
house.
3. IF you can't get in by the front way
either knock out a window, or go up on
to the roof by the lightning rod. This
latter plan will enable you, if the house
is frame one, to kick all the boards
loose and provide matinee for those in
side the house. After you have reached
the roof, if you haven't strangled your
self with profanity, cough up your false
teeth and yell down the scuttle for step
ladder.
4. Always bear cheerful countenance.
| If YOU 90 into the sick chamber looking
| like 35 cent chrome of d Pawnee ceme-
| terry, it will be apt to throw a damper on
the festivities.
| 5. Talk cheerfully. Commence by
| saying that the Asiatic cholera has started
on pleasure trip at reduced rates, and
that the hoop business is quite brisk; or,
say that seventy-fve tons of nitro
glycerine began business engagement
near circus in some place in New York,
and that the authorities in all the princi-
pal cities of the country have been tele-
graphed to wait on the remains as they
arrive.
g. Talk as loud as You can, SO that
people in the next township will think a
| theological student, home on a vacation,
| is keeping his lungs in training.
A few such rules as these kept in mind
during visit to sick friend will be apt
to prove beneficial, as it will inspire the
patient with more will and a stronger de-
Termination to live, and create a sort OF
vacuum in your family.-Keok,tk Con-

PERFECTLY PLAIN. - In the Police
Court of Chicago wife thus ingsniously
explained away serious charges of harsh
treatment of her husband: One day
when she was coming across the room,
with fork in her hand he jumped in her
way and struck his wrist against the
fork, wrenching it from her grip by the
tines, which he ran into his wrist. Then
he undertook to strike her, but she held
up pan of hot dishwater between them,
and he spilled it over his head. Then he
got still more angry at this accident, and
started to jump at her, but his head came
down against her hand. and he fell down.
She took hold of his hair to raise him up,
and the hair was moistened by the hot
water SO that it came off. Then. she saw
it was no use to try to reason with him
any longer, and she lest the house.

A CENTENARIAN SMoKER.-We lately
chronicled the death of stout centena-
rian in the Isle of Skye, an old woman,
but the really s'oldest inhabitant" is only
now dead, and she, too, was Scotch, Mrs.
Margaret Robertson, or Duncan, died
two days since at Coupar Angus in her
10th year. She was born in Glensee,
we are told, in 1878, and had lived under
the reign of three British Kings and one
Queen Until about six or eight years
ago she retained possession of her facul-
ties, but then she became blind, and,
about year since, bedridden. She was
very intelligent, it is stated, and talked
in terms of becoming scorn of the poor,
feeble creatures who could not manage
to live longer than paltry eighty or
ninety years, which, she declared, ''nae
age ava" (Anglice, sat ally. But how
did this seasoned old dame, it may be
asked, manage to sstop" the century in
longevity? For one thing she was de-
voted smoker. The clay pipe was con-
stantly in her mouth, and she repudiated
the notion that it could do her any harm.
When spoken to about the injurious
effects of the tobacco, her invariable an
swer was, "I've smoked a my days. It's
has plenty time to dae me i'll, and it's
never socht" (sought). Mrs. Duncan s
deduction from her long experience will
be admitted to be perfectly sound, and
every smoker will refer with pleasure to
the tough old lady, of Coupar Angus as a
conclusive proof of the antiseptic proper
ties of his favorite weed.-[ London Tele
