Kitchen Holders.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITHOUT AND WITH
THEM.

OUR EXPERIENCE WITHOUT AND WITH
THEM.
The kitchen holder was lost 1t should
have been on the reservoir, or the sink
shelf, or under the stove, or perhaps be-
hind the woodhox cover; in fact, almost
anywhere in the kitchen, but it wasn't.
1t was verging toward noon on baking
day, and the three hurried and fear
slightly irate women of our household, all
wanted the missing holder. We searched
in vain. No one could say who had it
last OF what was done with it.
Then the hired girl, the most interested
of the three, having the greatest number OF
burnt fingers, made a solemn vow that
before the next day she should have hold
err all her own. She would carry that
holder in her apron pocket and she only
would use it,
We bridged over the chasm made by the
lost holder as best we could that day, and
that evening we made three holders, and
put them in the pockets of our several
work aprons, ready for the next day.
We made the holders of four thicknesses
of cotton cloth, and stitched them from
corner to corner to keep them firm. When
finished they were about five inches square
The next day peace reigned in the XII CHI
en- for we each had holder and knew just
where to find it, nor have we had any
trouble since, for the apron pocket was q
convenient place to put them and it WIS
soon as natural to seek the holder there as
it was to seek a handkerchief.
We have now increased our set 10 seven
or eight, for we found that we often needed
clean one and we did not like to be with
out one, while those were being washed
We now rank our holders among the
necessities of the kitchen. Being small
not very thick, and lin their proper state,
while they are very nice in transferring
hot plates from the stove to the table a

who read the household department tina

M sure they will like it.

CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER.-Abundan
reasons are given by men of science, says
a western writer. why clover is so useful
as fertilizer. The results of clovering
land are so universally understood and its
benefits so generally acknowledged to
commend it 10 any farmer. All land in
wheat. oats. rye and barley not intended
for fall blowing should in the spring be
sown in clover. If intended for corn or
oats the next spring the fall pasture will
often more than pay the cost of seeding,
besides the clover keeps down the weeds
and gives a sod for spring blowing that
puts the ground in condition for a much
larger yield of grain than if it had not
been seeded in clover.

STOCK Tories Perhaps the time m y
come when buyers will compel a proper
system of dressing poultry for market by
refusing to purchase turkeys, geese, ducks
and chickens rendered more or less Offens
i've and unwhol, some by retension OF
entrais and useless offtl. Among obvious
advantages of the system OF immediate
drawing would be escape from the impOSi
ZION in weight caused by extra feeding
just previous to slaughter, and ability to
detect internal evidence of unhealthful
condition of the bird. Writing strongly
on this subject, the Philadelphia Records
intelligent agricultural contributor, 81. ;"
well says:
Almost Immediately after the death of
fowl decomposition first takes place in
the entrais, and the gases at once begin to
permeate the flesh, until in II few hours
every atom of it is more or less tainted
thereby. So perfectly is this understood
by sheep butchers that they begin to take
out the entraiIs almost before life is ex-
tinct and there is an old proverb Whcr
ever he wool touches during the sklnning
the flesh will be tainted, which is MOI
true, but derives its origin from the facl
that the flesh of the sheep has been found
tainted when the skinning process was
delayed or was slow and tedious. A:
with sheep, so it is with poultry, and al
hough we may not exactly be aware OF
he TACT, yet the moment the bird is dead
he carcass is operated upon by the de-
com posing process which begins in the
stomach.

Two Firms in Place of One.

1t having become common rumor that the
firm of Beaupre, Allen & Keogh, Wholesale
grocery dealers of this city, was about to be
dissolved, the GLOBE proceeded to investigate
the matter, but at the urgent request of the
firm withheld any statement as premature.
The confidence having been violated by an In.
correct publication IN an irresponsible sheet
the facts are now given. The copartnership
rangements members of the firm have made
for the future are such as to probably lead to
its termination at an earlier date. As the
GLOBE has heretofore stated Messrs. Beaupre
& Keogh are TO occupy the new building to
be erected as early as the season will permit on
the lots on the river side of Third street next
to Wacouta street, which have been made
ready for laying the foundations during the
present winter. The firm name
at the new location will be
Beaupre s. Keogh; but it is currently re-
ported that A. II. Wilder will be associated
with them as a special, limited partner, yet
contributing handsome capital Mr.. Allen
will retain the buildings now occupied by the
present firm, and will have for his partner Mr..
Allen McQuillan, son Of the former head of
P. F. McQuillan & Co. The McQuillan name
being SO widely and deservediy favorably
known in the trade, it is probable the firm
name will be Allen & McQuillan.
Thus st. Paul will gain one wholesale gro
Gerry house this year, and the capital and repu-
tation of the several partners in the two firms
is assurance that the two houses will maintain
the good reputation gained in the original
house; while the greatly increased wholesale
trade of the city affords ample scope for the
enterprise of the new firms.

Cor. Dacis' Lecttf,.c.

The lecture of ex-Gov. C. X. Davis in the
library course last evening attracted an excel
lent audience to the Opera house. His theme,
Shnkspeares creation of "Hamlet," was a
most interesting one, and was treated in a
scholarly and eruditc manner. The lecturer
regarded the character as intended to depict
the more subtle phases of insanity. He was a
prince who allowed himself to be despoled of
his kingdom without protest, soldier who
delighted not in war, q courtier who spurned
the formul;e of court life. He was not pecu-
liar in his madness, for the records of the medi
cal profession show many instances of similar
mental arrangement, not, perhaps, all en-
bodied in one person, but in many. All the
phases of his disease, however, have been
mentioned in treatses upon mental distempers.
His brooding over the subject of suicide was a
common description of insanity. The lecturer
proceeded TO show the workings Of the mind
of Hamlet while in pursuit of his one purpose
in life, the avenging of the death of his father,
and reconciled all his acts with the theory of
unsoundness of mind, closing with an elo-
quent perOraton.
