Socialist Up to Certain Point.

I was travelling in a department. OF the
south, after the revolution Of February.
met one day mayor of q village, pro
prietor of a maetaiaic. "Sir," said he to
me, "what do they mean down there at
Paris by that word Communism 1t
is some sluggard's business, is it not?
So, at least, our curate says" " 1t is a
system of PARTITION" replied |, invent,
ed once on q time by q, dreamer.
"What did he dream?" "That man
who has million should share it with
the commune" His eye frightened.
"Not . bad dream, either" said he.
"But further" resumed, "that the
man who has 100000 francs should aban-
don the half to his neighbor." =" We'll,
he would still have enough with the
other half" "Then, that the man who
has $4,000 francs should come down to
$4,000 francs, through spirit Of frater-
nifty" The face of the mayor assumed
q thoughtful tinge. "That may still
do" Lastly, that the man who pos
sesses $4,000 francs" -" Twenty five
thousand francs" he interrupted, spring
ing up with bound, "that's the value
of my farm; let him who would have a
vine-stock belonging to it, come and seek
it. He will see how / will receive him,

A Wasted Life.

A strange character died in the Tombs
prison at New York recently-a woman
who for twenty-five years had been a
voluntary inmate of the prison, which
she had grown to look upon as home.
In her youth Mary Valentine was a
handsome, hayward girl, and as she
grew older she went from bad to worse
till she used to be frequently arrested
and imprisoned in the Tombs for trunk
enness. When she got to be fifty years
old she resolved to reform, and she
would 60 to the police courts and volun-
tarily give herself up when she felt a
craving for drink, and in this way she
placed herself beyond temptation. At
last she came to love the Tombs so much
that when, some twenty-five years ago,
the term of one of her voluntary inn
prisonments expired, she begged to be
allowed to spend the remainder of her
days there. The charity commissioners
humored the prisoner, and upon the ma
tron'srecommendation she became a tier
woman" whose duty it is to care for the
prisoners on the tier, which capacity she
had ever since remained.

found that while the manure from feed
ing ton of hay is worth $40, that made
from feeding ton of cOttOn-seed meal
is worth $1S.
THE stock kept upon farm affords
the owner ready contingent marke tor
all the grains and grasses raised, and
this market is never overstocked, but the
demand is always greater then the sup
ply. Cultivated fields are subject to
wear and tear, and, like the man, require
replenishing with food. The best way
to furnish it to consume all that is raised
on the farm; in fact, this is the only way
to make the land respond literally to our
behests; hence the farmer has double
inducement, and should act upon the
suggestions that point out the right
way.
Mr.. JAS J. DAVIDSON, farmer, Pick
ering, who has always doubted the fertii-
ling qualities of salt, has suddenly be-
come converted to its efficiency an
application to land. He sowed five bar
rels of salt on portion of his barley
field, and on coming to harvest the bar
ley, found the contrast so great as to
efectuaIly give the quietus to the doubts
that had hitherto existed in his mind on
the subject. The portion under salt
was much stronger, and the dividing line
as we'll defined as if the sailed portion
had been standing wheat and the remain
der down barley. The yield from ap-
pearances will be from 10 to Is per cent
better-Camada Weekly Globe.
THE experiment has been made of
sowing oats and wheat together with a
view to obtaining winter covering for
the wheat. The seed, in the proportions
of one part of oats to two parts of wheat,
was sown in the fall and the oats sprang
up quickly and were killed by the early
frost, the stalks and leaves lying on the
ground all winter, keeping the snow
from blowing away and preventing the
sun from thawing the frozen ground
In the spring the dead oats
made good top-dressing for
the growing wheat. The crop Of
wheat secured on the following season
was reported to be excellent, while
wheat on adjoining land planted in the
usual manner was of no value.~-Scrsbne,

From the Evening Wisconsin, Milwaukee,.

FROM the Evening WISCONSIN,, MllWaukeS'
A few days ago we passed the elegant new
residence OF our townsman George Bossert,
with Pfister & VogeD No. 179 Franklin street,
and were wondering what all those clay pipes
meant piled up in front of his house. They
could not be intended neither for sewers nor
for water. Our curiosity induced us to enter
and there we found masons st work to erect
the first clay heater at Milwaukee. Just think
OF it, a furnace built entirely of clay. At the
east, we were told, these heaters are III use for
several years, giving perfect satisfaction on
account Of their pure, healthy air, free from all
poisonous gases, such as will be produced by
IRON furnaces. The agents here, Messrs. Wm
Frankfurth q Co., No. 367 Third street, say
that in these clay heaters, coal, wood or coke
can be used, that they require less fuel than
iron furnaces, and hardly any repairs. If all is
true that is claimed in favor of the clay heater,
there will be quite revolution in the furnace
trade. Somehow we believe that Messrs VIM.
Franfurth & Co. have taken hold OF good
thing. They are sole agents for Wisconsin,
and will gladly give all information.

SEASONABLE RECIPES.
COCOANUT PUDDING.

One quart of milk, one cup of Cocoa
nut, three crackers, two eggs, butter the
size of an egg, salt and sugar to taste.
APPLE FRTTTERs.
One quart of milk, four eggs beaten
light, the whites to be added last thing !;
salt and -four enough to make batter;
a bowl full of very finely sliced apples.
LETTUCE DRESSING.
Five eggs beaten together, a level
teaspoon of salt, same of pepper, table
spoon each of butter, cream and mixed
mustard, and half teaspoon of weak
vinegar. Put all into tin bucket, and
place it in q vessel of boiling water, stir
ring all the time until it thickens.
When cold, add four tablespoons Of
saIad-oil.
TO REMOVE sUNBURN.
Milk of almonds, obtained at the
druggists, is as good as anything to use,
and to keep wrinkles out of the face use
tepid water instead of cold; if the wrin-
kles are deep-seated apply little tur-
pentine to the wrinkles for few nights
before retiring. Some ladies use patch
of court plaster for the wrinkles, which
soon eradicates these emblems of care
and age.
ENGLISH PICKLE.
TIVE quarts vinegar, two ounces curry
powder, two ounces mustard. Rub
curry powder and mustard together with
half pint salad oil; add the vinegar,
one ounce turmeric, half pound sugar
and boil together five minutes. To pre-
pare the pickles take small cucumbers,
nasturtiums, caulifowers, onions, etc.
Let them stand in brine thirty-six hours

them the above mixture boiling hot.
Ready for use in a month.
sTEWED CORN.
Remove the grains from the ear BY
scoring the ear with a sharp knife, then
using the back of the knife to rub off the
kernels When corn is even old, by
doing this the tough skin on the grains
remains on the cob. Take "a ears and
remove as above Ghe kernels; keep the
cobs, which put IN water, just enough to

Easily Incurred, Terribly Obstinate,
Is rheumatism Even at the outset, the ordi-
nary remedies are frequently powerless to cope
with it. This is more particularly the case
when tendency to it is inherited. 1t should
be combatted before it becomes chronic.
When the first twinges are felt, recourse
should be had to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a depurent which expeIs from the blood those
irritating principles which, by contact, cause
Inflammation and pain in the muscles and
Joints Poisonous medicines which are usually
administered for this disease, but which. in a
slight overdose, may terminate it by destroying
life itself, should be avoided, and this safe and
more effective medicine used instead. Those
disorders of the bowels, stomach and liver
which frequently accompany rheumatic and
equity ailments, are invariably removed by this
excellent botanic corrective.

SEPTEMBER.
BY II. H.

The golden rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
lis hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-slde
Make aster5 in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all tiutter
With yellow butterflies.
Rut all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which foods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
IT'S thing which remember;
To name it thrills me yet:
One day Of one September
/ never can forget.

Hint,tO Worktnsmen.

The honest workingmen Of the country,
many Of whom have large and increasing fam
lilies to support, have been the chief sufferers
from the great financial pressure under which
we have labored for the last few years. Di-
unfinished wages have not been attended by q
corresponding diminution in price of every
thing which the workingman needs Rents,
fuel, food and clothing. are cheaper, but these
do not constitute all his necessities. It is
sometimes necessary for him TO employ law
yer or physician, yet the fee rates Of physi-
clans and lawyers are as high as they were IN
"aush" times. Yetcheap medicines are as nee
assary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap medi-
eines are not necessarily poor medicines. 1t
must be obvious to every intelligent person
that medicines compounded and put up at
Wholesale. can be sold at much lower rates
than when retailed from the doctors pill bags.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets have completely re-
stored persons who had spent hundreds OF dol
lars in vainly seeking relief from private prac-
TONERS, and all at 81 very slight expenditure.

The Habit of Devotion.

You ought to aim to form the habit of
8 devotion. Itis not enough that when
some particular trial or temptation
meets you, you ask Gods help. You
will not be likely to ask in the particu-
lar case, unless you are in the habit of
always asking the help of God. In or
der to do this, it is best to have Il fixed
time when you go by yourself to read
and pray. Take the most convenient
time-atter you are dressed, and before
you go down stairs in the morning,
perhaps-and just as nearly at that
time as possible every day "enter into
your closet and shut the door, and pray
to your Father which seeth in secret"
1t will soon come to be the brightest
hour in the day to you; and oh, how it
it will help you all the day through
But unless you form the habit, the hour
will not be so bright, and you will not
get so much help, you may be very sure
of that. And then, too, unless you form
the habit, you viii be very likely to
forget to pray ut all. What poor,
miserable soft of day that is on which
we have not asked the blessing of our
Heavenly Father to rest How I'M
fitted we are for duty and trial without
Gods strength -

The Unfortunate Witness.
AN UNEXAGGERATED PICTURE OF WHAT
is DONE IN OUR COURTS.
From the Cairo Qll) Bulletinl


GFrom the Cairo 1ll.) Bulletinl
The manner in which attorneys ques-
ton witnesses is exasperating to the
listener beyond expression.
The great purpose of the average GRIM
inal lawyer, for instance, is to draw
from the witness all the facts in his
possession, except the facts touching
the case under consideration.
A cOuntryman, chopping down a tree.
stops bis work and buries his AK up to
the eye in the brain of his brother-ip-
law. The witness who saw the whole
bloody transaction is brought into
court, and his examination runs about
thus:
"You say that the prisoner was chop
ping a tree down. Now, will you please
tell the court and jury where he bought
the AK ~
''You don't know; very well, sir,
We'll see about that"
Nov, sir, look at the jury-don't
stare in that helpless manner at me
now, sir, do you say, upon your oath,
that you don't know that the defendant
stole that ak before he left Paducha ~
You do say so, eh7 Well, now
mark me sir. How many feet was il
from the tree the defendant was chop
ping to the nearest grist-mill You
can't say Yn
WAS it ten feet ?n
Certainly, good deal more.n
Weh, then, was it a thousand
