Poker In the Legislature.

In the years gone by certain Repre-.
sentative in our State Legislature was
supposed to have been s.seen'' on a
certain bill, but as he kept his own
counsel no one could get any proofs
against HIM. He had been elected as
an honest, upright man, and when his
constituents heard the rumors against
his integrity they were amazed. A
delegate was appointed to go down to
Lansing and hear his side of the story.
and when this man returned home he
was invited to make known his re-
searches before an open meeting.
MY friends, he began, II went to
Lansing with the determination to sift
the matter to the bottom found that
s. was living high and dressing like
a lord"
A groan went through the meeting
and men shook their heads in a solemn
way.
:. He sports gold watch and q cane, -
continued the delegate, "and he was
talking of buying $500 horse to bring
home with him. You remember he
went away from here poor man.
Then he sold his voter shouted
one of the yeomen.
l copfess it looked that way to me
at first. replied the delegate, but
when | came TO tackle him personally
he explained everything as clear as day.
He had not sold his vote. He had not
forgotten that an honest constituency
was behind him and no money could
have brfbed his conscience. No. NV
friends, there IS no stain on his reputa-
ton.
Then how did he get his money!,
asked three OF. four at once.
. Well. / don't know as can explain
it as well as he did, and TIM sorry I
didn't write it down. 1t seems that the
members don't have anything to do
evenings. and instead of reading novels
or attending the wicked fheater they
gather in little crowds around the table
and the one who has four of Kind OF
something or other rakes in some
thing or other called the pot. I don't
know where the money comes il, but
Its somehow or other. and some how or
other our esteemed Representative al
ways has more Of . kind than anv one
else. This IS g near as can remember

FARM AND PRESIDE.


BE sure when you boil corn in the
ear to drain it well, SO that no water
will be soaked in to run down ones arm
When eating the corn.
There are more than twenty nat
ural enemies of the potato beetle, which
destroy the mature insect, the young
grubs or the eggs.
TO utilize the feathers of ducks,
chickens and turkeys, generally thrown
aside as refuse, trim the plume from
the stump, inclose them in a tight BAG,
rub the whole as if washing clothes,
and you will secure perfectly uniform
and light down, excellent for quilting
coyerlets and not few other purposes.
Poultry World.
Sweet Potato Pie.-Boil until two
thirds tender then skin and slice. Line
a tin pie-plate with a good crust, put in
a layer of the sliced potatoes, sprinkle
abundantly with white sugar, dust with
cinnamon and then alternate until the
dish is full. Add little water, two
spoonfuls of melted butter and a tea
spoonful OF lemon extract. Cover with
paste and bake.
"A farmer who has had much ex-
perience in draining land, SAYS that
when quicksand or llnsound ground oc-
ours drains should be cut wider and in
some cases deeper, with their sods
trampled down along the bottom be-
fore either tiles or stone conducts are
introduced. Sods thus placed always
admit water freely and the substrata,
In consequence, very soon become solid.
Home made crackers are more
wholesome for children than cookies,
and the novelty of having them made
at home goes good way toward
making them eatable. Take three
quarters of cup of butter or lard, one
pint of sour milk, three teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. Stir all except the
milk in with the -four, and when thor
oughly mixed put the milk in. Be care
full not to knead them too much, as
there is danger OF their being tough;
roll thin and bake in a quick oven.

"A delicious dish, either for dinner
or supper, is raw tomatoes, made cold

few strokes, add half a teaspoonful
OF mustard, salt and pepper to
