Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
McCreery is one of the most re-
markable men who has ever been in
the senate. Physically he is the most
conspicuous member Of it. His thin,
pipe-stem legs are surmounted by a
rotund body, and that in turn is
crowned with a head perfectly mas
siye in proportion, perfectly bald on
top and fringed with long, straight,
jet-black hair. The face is fat, large
and smooth shaver and the eyes small
and deep-set. He appears habitually
in a full-dress suit of rusty black, car
ries his hands in his pants pocket,
chews tobacco necessarily and has the
most benignant expression of counte-
nance imaginable. lie is a mod
ern Pickwick. As a humorous and
pathetic speaker he has no equal
in the senate, and neither Conk-
ling o Blaine command the at
tention Of the senate in a more
marked degree than he has on the few
occasions he has vouchsafed to speak.
His voice is deep and mellow and his
language more pure and simple than
that Of any public speaker of the day.
His fund Of information is exhaust
less, and the play of his imagination
delicate and boundless. But for his
chronic Incidence he would be one of
the most noted men in the country.
AS It IS. he is one Of the most notable.

MEMORIES OF THE OLD KITCHEN.


Far back in my musings, my thoughts have
To the cot where the hours of my childhood
were passed;
I love all the rooms to the pantry and hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was dearer than
all,
Its chairs and its tables, none brighter could
For all its surroundings were sacred to me
To the nail in the ceiling, the latch on the
door,
And loved every crack in the old kitchen
floor
remember the fireplace, with mouth high
and wide,
The old fashioned oven that stood by its side,
Out of which each Thanksgiving, came pud-
dings and pies,
That fairly bewifdered and dazzled my eyes,
And then, too, Saint Nicholas, slyly and still,
Came down every Christmas, our stockings to
fill;
But the dearest of memories I've laid up in
store,
Is the mother that trod ON that old kitchen
Day in and day out, from morning till night,
Her footsteps were busy her heart always
light;
For it seemed to me, then, that she knew not a
care,
The smile was so gentle her face used to wear;
remember with pleasure what joy filled our
eyes.
When she told us the stories that children SO
$ prize;
They were new every night though we'd heard
them before
From her lips at the Wheel on the old kitchen
floor.
remember the window, where mornings
I'd run
AS soon as the daybreak to watch for the sun;
And thought when my head scarcely reached
to The sill,
That it slept through the night in the trees on
the hill, r..-.
And the small tract of ground that my eyes
there could view,
Was all of the world that my infancy knew:
Indeed cared not to know of it more,
For world of itself was that old kitchen floor.
Tonight those old visions come back at their
will,
But the wheel and its music forever are still;
The band is moth-eaten, the wheel laid away,
And the fingers that turned it lie mold'ring in
clay;
The hearthstone, so sacred, is just as twas
then,
And the voices of children ring out there
again;
The sun through the window looks in as OF
yOre,
But it sees stranger feet on the old kitchen
floor.
ask not for honor, but this would crave,
That when the lips speaking are closed in the
grave,
My children would gather theirs round by
their side,
And tell of the mother who long ago died;
'Twould be more enduring, far dearer to me,
Than inscription on marble or granite could
be,
To have them tell often, as I did of yore.
OF the mother who trod on the old kitchen
floor

Unselfishness of Farmers.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
calls attention to a trait of farmers in
which, it thinks, they differ, as regards
each other from the members of any
other guild. "Each man is eager to
show his neighbor any new discovery or
acquisition which he has possessed him
self of that is likely to help on the bust
ness of farming. If he thinks he has a
good thing he wants others to know
about it, whether it be the result of some
successful experiment in raising crop,
an improved breed of cattle or variety of
vegetable or package of superior seed
which has come from a distance. APP
parently he does not for moment enter
tain the idea that it would be to his profit
to keep such knowledge or specimens to
himself. And if another farmer comes
to see him, he is pleased to show all his
possessions, and there is no corners OF
the place by which the visitor is hurried
because some experiment is going on
there which the owner does not care tC
have seen, as is often the case when visi-
tor makes the grand rounds of a factory
Contrast this habit of the farmers with
the way that neighboring merchants and
manufacturers do their business. Why
when it was first proposed to connect the
paper mills in Holyoke with their offices
in this city by telephone, objection was al
once raised that the paper makers might
possibly learn each others secrets as {
consequence"

Household Hints.

To Keep Beds from HaUing Bugs.-A
hotel keeper says: My plan is at this
season, to have all my beds taken to
pieces, to scrub all the joints and ends
with water and soap, and then to use any
hard varnish for the ends, Stats, etc. I
know of no other method as easy or as
thorough. have used this in Georgia
and Florida.
Hair Baushes.-A few drops of harris
horn put in little water will clean a
hair-brush better than anything else,
and does the brush no harm If very
dirty rub little soap on the brush. At
ter cleaning, rinse in clear water, and
hang the brush up by the window to dry,
Do not let the bristles ON any hard SUBJ
stance while wet. It is better to tie a
string round the handle and hang up.
A Good; "GreQser. I'm baking buck
wheat and other griddle cakes, piece of
fat bacon as a ''greaser" is by many
thought to be almost indispensable.
Those who are of this opinion will, on
trial, soon learn that turnip, divided in
two, answers the same or better purpose,
as the Odor-the most unpleasant part of
cake baking-comes from the greaser in
contact with the hot iron, whereas with the
turnip very little of this is perceptible.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Profitable Farming.


The most vital question affecting the
farmer is how to make farming profitable.
Especially is this felt in the depressed
condition of our markets at the present
time, when produce of all kinds does not
pay the cost of production. Below we
give condensed summary of the more
prominent causes affecting the condition
of the agricultural class. We do not
propose to present to readers all the cause
affecting the successful outcome of the
farm, but rather to point out the more
important and prominent ones. We call
particular attention 10 the following.
l. The enormous loss which many
farmers sustain from the neglected con-
dition of the manure piles.
2. From the exposure of farm machin-
cry to the inclemencies of the weather.
3. From the loss which is sustained
keeping more animals than the owner
can properly provide food and shelter
for.
4. From raising scrubby and inditfer
ent ANIMALS, when good ones could be
raised at the same cost and twice the
profit.
5. Tilling more land than can be prop
erly cultivated, thereby raising on two
acres that which might be more profta-
bly, raised on one.
6. Making specialtles of certain crops,
to the ultimate exhaustion of the soil.
:. From disposing of the crops in the
condition in which they are raised, in
stead of converting them into beef, pork
or mutton.
s. In neglecting properly to attend to
the little details of the farm.
8. In not keeping strict account of
the transactions of the farm.
10. In not using proper judgment in
disposing of the produce of the farm and
the purchasing of machinery and other
necessaries.
II. Purchasing provisions which
should be raised at home.
12. In not having machinery enough
to properly harvest and save the crop.
We believe that failure to make farm
ing profitable may be traceable to one or
several of the above causes, which little
study and forethought will successfully
obviate. 1t will be apparent to every one
who gives the above causes due consider
alton that the remedy for Improbable
farming lies with the farmer.-I0aoG, an
Prairie Farmer.

Some old fraud writes that Gin garden
ing every portion of the body Is exercised,
and the mind refreshed" The writer's
experience in gardening has evidently
been confined to sitting in the shade and
bossing hired man. IF he were to dig
garden until his body became nearly the
shape of a croquet wicket, and it almost
snapped his back bone in half to assume
an upright position, he would quickly
acknowledge that there is such a thing
as exercising the body too much; and
when his old man wasn't looking, he
would jump over the back tence, go down
town, and refresh his mind by engaging
in game of base ball-and perchance
get four fingers knocked out of Joint, his
nose mashed and a new bump erected on

on which they can implicitly rely, since it pre-
vents the effects that any unhealthy climate,
vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or un-
wholesome diet, bad water, or other conditions

duce. On long voyages, or journeys by f1nd
in ATTITUDES adjacent to the equator, it is
especially useful as q preventive Of the febrile
complaints and disorders Of the stomach, liver

in such regions, and is an excellent protection
against the influence of extreme cold, sudden
