FARMERS WHO "D1cKER."

Some farmers naturally love to 'dicker.'
They delight to wrangle with the merchant
srtheir brother about the last half cent in
trade OF some kind or other. Nothing Is so
likely to lessen our faith in mankind as this
universal effort of people to ''gouge" one
smother out of their dimes. In buying any
thing, these close-tisted chaps usually have
an idea as to what they will give, but in the
meantime they make strenuous efforts to get
It for great deal less. You say this is a
sqlare, bushes way OF doing things. l call
atan effort on his part to chisel the seller
cut of so much OF the value of his product.
In the first place, one should post hi,n-
selt as to the valne OF the article he desires
Dbuy or sell. He should then make his
price and stick to it, notwithstanding the
remarks of the seller that it is great bar
gam, putting it below cost and so on. But
Tile Usual way is for the seller to place fig
sre Oh the article several cents above It's
value and the buyer several below. Then.
after vast deal of gas and splitting of dlf'
'efences, they get at something near the
real value of the article. have seen two
able bodied men stand for hours and wage

when perhaps there was not fifty cents or
aoiar's difference between them. Their
VINE was worth much more to them than
'aa' paltry sum. Perhaps you May say

QWge 1nnSehold

Preserving Eggs.-Fill an egg-basket with
eggs, and innerse them in kettle Of boil
ing water while you can count twenty. Be-
sure and have the water boil all the time tha
eggs are in, and also see that it covers the
eggs completely. Let them stand till cold,
then pack in salt.
Cream Wafsrs.. Warm quarter pound Of
butter without oiIing it; work into it five
eggs, one at a time; then add quarter ofa
pound of powdered sugar, quarter OF a pound
OF sitted flour and a teaspooniul Of ground
cinnamon, mixing all these ingredients toa
smooth paste. Heat wafer-lroll, put in o
spoonful OF the paste, close the iron, bake
the wafer and trim Oft the edges before op-
ening the iron !; then open the iron aud roll
the wafer quickly into the form of a cone.
When all the waters are cooked fill them
with whipped cream, arrange them on
napkin and serve them.
Ice Pudding.-Two table-poontuls of Dur
yeas improved corn starch to one quart OF
milk ; mix tile corn starch with a little OF
the milk, and flavor with either essence Of
lemon, orange, almond or vanilla; boil two
eggs; heat the remainder of the milk to
nearly boiling, sweeten to taste, then add
the mixed corn starch and eggs; boil for
TWO minutes, stirring briskly pour out on
a dish to cool add quarter Of a pound Of
double cream, and freeze as you would ice
cream serve in as rocky u manner as possi-
ble, with frozen fruit round the base.
Backing Stoves.-The fine polish given to
stoves by those skilled in the art is produced
as follows: Have thin mixture OF black
varnish and turpentine apply this with
paint cf varnish brush to portion Of the
stove; then with cloth dust this over with
pulverized British lustrc or stove polish, and
rub with dry brush. The stove must be
perfectly cold. The stove dealers buy the
puiverized stove polish, which is carburet OF
iron, in twenty-five pound packages. The
process conducted in this manner is quite
brief, but gives beautiful results.
Orange Iarts.-Take six or seven fine,
large oranges, roll them under your hand OH
table to increase the juice, then squeeze
them through strainer over half pound
or more of crushed sugar. Mix the orange
| juice and the sugar thoroughly together.
Break twelve eggs into large, shallow pan
and beat them till thick and smooth; then
stir in gradually the orange juice and sugar.
Line some patty pans with good puff paste,
having first buttered them inside; then fill
with the orange mixture and set them im-
Mediately into brisk oven. Bake the tarts
light brown, and when done set them to
cool. When quite cold, take them out Of
the patty pans, put them on large dishs
and CRATE sugar over their tops. AL tarts
are best the day they are baked, but they
should not be sent to the table warm.
Strawberry Conssrve-Prepare the fruit as
for preserving, allowing half pound of loaf
sugar to one pound of fruit. Sprinkle the
sugar over the fruit at night; in the morn
ing put it on the fire in kettle. and boil
until the berries are clear. Spread ON dishes
and put in the sun until dry; after which
roll the fruit In sugar aud pack in jars.

In little book just published In Paris,
called 'sThe Two Republics, " the fol-
lowing story Ii told; "Ons day In 1872,
at the residence OF NJ. Gambetta, the
conversation fell upon the expulsion Of
Prince Napoleon from France. II.
Theirs caused the arrest Of the prince
ut the chateau Of NJ. Maurice Richard
at Millemont, and had him conducted
TO the frontier. Iasked Gambetta what
he would have done, IS he was severe

~ HAVE received no information

Buaraza, the Gillian minister, on
Wednesday. "Of course I should hear
Of any important action taken on either

should be concluded between the com
batants, II Chilli should advance OF
Lima, or commence Its bombardment,

He thought that right and Chill would
triumph. The state department hears
nothing from Minister Christiancy, and
supposes that no important change has
occurred on either side. II Is hoped
that mediation will be accepted and the
war ended.

AN oriental traveller describes this
busy scene, witnessed on historic shores
''Our steamer landed on a beach which
was the port Of Antioch, where the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
There was no town ut the waters edge,
no people, no wharf. The passengers
and the merchandise were put ashore
In lighters, which ran up into the sand.
A troopo { camels, with their drivers,
lay on the beach, ready TO transfer the
goods into the interior. Among the
articles landed were boxes marked 'DR.

u. s. A., showing that they contained
medicines and whence they came.
These with other goods were hoisted on
the backs Of camels, for transportation

Now that IL Is settled that the it was
4 vessel OF the Spanish navy which fired
upon the Philadelphia schooner Ethel
A. Merritt and the Boston schooner
Eunice p. Newcomb. on the Cuban
coast . few weeks ago. the most impor-
tant question which Admiral Wyman.
Of the United States man-of.war Ten
nessee has still 10 investigate IL As 10
how far II was from land where the out
RACES occurred. fthe American vessels
were within mi league, or three miles,
Of the Cuban coast ut the time, there
would be no doubt OF the right OF the
Spanish gunboat to overhaul them on
suspicion, since by international law q
government is recognized rs exercising
jurisdiction for one league from its coast
line. The American schooners, how
ever. both claim to have been much
more than u league from land when
they were fired upon. Spain, unlike all
other nations, claims jurisdiction for
two leagues. or six miles from shore,
and holds that the schooners were
within this limit when overhauled,
though Captain Rand's statement
would put tho Merritt beyond even this
limit. However this may be, II is vir-
tually conceded that the American YES
sells were beyond the ~one-league limit.
and that Is rs far as our government
will recognize Spanish authority to ex-
tend. Spain clings tenaciously to the
longer limit, and this Is not the first
time the two governments have had
difference yer this point. In the Span
ish Cortes, one Of the members Of that
body recently said: LET tho United
States demand an apology and redress
for any damage sustained by her YES
sells; we will make the apology and pay
any damages; but we propose, in the
present condition of affairs in Cuba, to
search all foreign vessels on the coast
who are regarded as suspicious" Lit
tie doubt Is felt here that Spain will
make the apology, but our government
will make q definite rule On the subject
for the future, before dropping 1t.

A Barber's Mistake.

An amusing incident occurred in Utica
barber shop, which has created considerable
sport at the expense of Il clergyman from
the town of Annsville or Ava. The domi-
ME had pretty full growth Of grey whis-
kers. He came to Utica for the signatures
of the leading politicians to an application
for chaplaincy in public institution.
With mind bent on the subject of his mis-
sion, he entered barber shop, took a seat
in the chair, and asked TO have his whiskers
trimmed. The barber was busily engaged
in talking politics and evidently misunder-
stood his patrons order. He took out his
dye stuffs. and within twenty minutes the
whiskers of the dominic were blacker than
his coat The Odor of sulphur did not give
the barber away, and remarking that he
did not want his hair dressed he paid FOR
the job and went out. When ne called at
the office of United States official who
knew him well, he was not recognized and
had some trouble in making himself known.
When the official was satisfied he laughed
heartily and remarked to the clergyman that
he evidently was endeavoring to beat old
age by dying. The would-be chaplain did
not see the point of his highly colored joke
until the official spoke plainly. The clergy
man looked in the mirror and for the first
time saw how he had altered in appearance.
He took the affair good naturedly, but
lost no time in returning to the shop end
having his face shaved clean. 1t took HIM
some time to get acquainted with his wife
upon his return home, but the joke was too
good to keep, and his friends are enjoying
it. If he ever has an opportunity of fixing
the penance of that barber it will be Sc
we're ore.

The view of Jerusalem from the west is
usually the first obtained by travellers from
Europe who have landed at Jaffa, the
ancient Jappa but tine best Is from the
Noun, Of Olives, on the east Of the city.
This last quite OverlOOks the town, and
the spectator who stands upon the Mount
can see every considerable building and
most Of the principle houses. The city
seems to slope from west to east, with
slight depression in the centre. On the
southeast is the Mosque Of Omar. sur
rounded by extensive and beautiful grounds,
occupying about One-eighth of the modern
town. The inclOsure is covered by green
sward and is dotted over with olive, cypress
and other trees. towering above which is
the mosque with its surrounding buildings
Another mosque stands in the southwest
angle OF the Harem, as the sacred inclOsUre
is called and beyond, in the same direc-
iioH, appears huge Armenian convent. In
the northwest Of the city we can see
great Latin convent. Between these is the
castle or citadel. The northeast is less
built upon, but the centre is crowded. and
in that direction rises the famous Church
of the Holy Sepulchre, or Of the Holy
Places, with its conspicuous dOmes- Eight
or ten minarets also catch the eve, indica,-

came from their huts upon the roof.
Round the statue of Alexander gathered
medley throng of officers in full uniform,
maids of honor, coachmen, grooms, soul
lions and hundreds of the inmates of the
palace, whose names are supposed 10 be
registered by the Minister of the Imperial
Household, but who are in reality as little
noticed by him as the coloniSts who settle
in Russian forests are noticed by the pro-
prietOr of the estate. The first impulse of
all these people was to hasten to offer their
congratulations 10 the Emperor. Their
second was TO return thanks for the preser-
vafion of the palace itself. In their eyes
the building is sacred. The gilt cross on
the cupOla of the private chapel, which sur
vived the fire of 1887. symbOlizes to them
the blessing which rests upon it. 1t was
this feeling which animated the wOrkmen
by whose industry it rose again to its old
magnificence. 1t was this feeling that
caused the humblest mujiks to bring their
contributions to the expenses of reconstruc-
tion. The news that no damage had been
sustained by the heirlOoms Of the palace,
that the portraits was undisturbed, the i'm
perial uniforms unsinged, the court jewels
uninjured, was received by the inmates
with extreme satisfaction. All along the
river side, between the Neva, and the
Palace. surged mass of the populace, III
sheepshIns and furs, and torches flashed to
and fro upon the ice. Many of the aristOc-
racy hastened down to Newsky Prospect to
offer their congratulations, but the police
had strict orders to let no drOvsky pass the
gates. At early morning the Emperor
drove to the Kazan Church and returned
thanks to the Virgin for his fifth preserva-
ton from death.

The Czar's Narrow Escape

On the 18th of February the Gar was
in his Winter Palace discussing the politics
of the Balkan provinces, the elections to the
Bulgarian Assembly, the loyalty Of the
Princes subjects, the attempted compTo-
mise between the two parties in the State,
when a servant announced that dinner was
served. The Car and his guests were so
intent upon the subject of their conversa-
ton that ttheannouncement was disregarded.
Shortly afterward the servant returned. As
he opened the door the Emperor rose. At
that instant a terrible explosion was heard.
The Gar had taken Prince Alexander's arm
and was walking to the door. He stopped
short az the sound. lie then disengaged
his arm ard raised his eyes to heaven in
gratitude. Neither spoke a word. The
Car was perfectly calm, and an hour later
sat down quietly to dinner beside the great
gap in the floor. The Empress
was asleep in her room and heard
nothing of the explosion, and express
orders were issued that she should be
left in ignorance Of the event. Others de-
scribe the scene in the Winter Palace after
the explosion. As soon as the news got
abroad the corridors were filed with an ex-
cited crowd, each member of it giving a
different version of the affair From al
the private apartments poured the stream
Court chamberiains, in. coats that CLEANED
with rich gold embrOideries, hurried dowI
from the Hall of st. George: and an army
of white capped cooks defiled from the sub
terranean kitchens. Court ladies, witt
