Prevention of Diphtheria.

To prevent diptheria, then, and so
finally exterminate it, every man,
woman. and child throughout our land
and the world should be brought to
obey the laws of life and health
Parents should regularly feed, properly
clothe. and duly restain all children
before they come to the years of under
standing and accountability. This
alone would do much. A late promi-
nent physician of Paris estimated that
3 900 had died in that city during the
thirty years of his practice there from
short sleeves, short pants, and other
kindred imprudence in the dressing of
children. And lam fully convinced that
as large proportion are sacrificed, in
towns at least. in this country from the
same cause-all for a a0icked fashion.
And, from careful observation in this
country and abroad, am confident that
at ieast as manv more are carried of by
improper food and irregularity in taking
it, together with poisonous candies and
other unwbolesome and indigestible
trash that no child or other person
should eat.-EdwiR B Maxson, in the
6anitarian for April.

A Diamond King in Horses Hoof

A wealthy physician of Murfreesboro,
Tenn, bought 81, 800 diamond ring
for his daughter. About three years
since, while riding out, the ring was
lost. 1t was advertised and liberal re-
wards offered for its recovery, but moth
ing was ever heard of it. A few weeks
ago child of blacksmith was taken
sick, and the physician referred to called
to see it. While at the bedside he had
occasion to mention his daughters
name. At this the child's mother took
from her finger ring, handed it to the
physician, and asked him if his daugh-
ter had recently lost ring, for the
ring contained the name he had just
pronounced. The physician said she
had not, but that some years ago she
lost diamond ring, and as his eyes fell
upon the sparkling object he recognized
his daughters long-lost treasure. The

HOUSEHOLD Recipes.

OUNCE MARMELADE.-Such ounces
as are too knotty and defective to make
/ good preserves may be pared and cored,
cut into small pieces, and put into
the kettle with three quarters Of a
pound of sugar TO each pound Of fruit !;
put a small cupfuI Of cold water first to
prevent burning. When the ounce
begins to sof.en take a potato-masher
and mash it to pulp without taking it
from the fire. Let it boil gently for 10
or 30 minutes-not longer than 20.
Take from the fire and put into jars.
To PICKLE MANGoEs AND GREEN
PEPPEBs.-Cut a round piece out of the
top Of small muskmelons or peppers and
extract the seeds. Then tie the pieces
on again with a thread and put in a
brine for ten days. Drain and wipe :;
put hem into a kettle with nice leaves
under and over them, adding a small
piece Of alum, and put over a slow fire
TO green, keeping them tightly covered.
10 fill, make dressing Of scraped horse
radish, white mustard-seed, mace, nut
megs, pounded green ginger cut small,
pepper, turmerIc, and sweet oil. Fill
the mangoes with this mix ure, putting
Il small Glove of garlic into each one of
them, replacing the piece at the opening,
and sewing it with strong thread. Put
into stone jars and pour boiling vinegar
over them.
TOMATO SoUP.-One quart of nice
red tomatoes, two tabespOonfuls ofsoda,
a piece of red pepper pod. four or FIVE
cloves, three pints of good sweet milk,
IN = hn
toes, mash them fine and add the cloves,
soda, and pepper. Stir in we'll, add
iirst the boiling water and then the milk,
one-ouarter Of pound Of butter and
last the salt. This soup needs much
salt, which should be put in just as it is
sent to the table, as, if put in sooner,
it sometimes makes the milk curdle.
| suppose that all cooks know that the
soda Is to correct the acid of the toma-
toes.
To BRon ToMAToEs.-Cut off the
green part of the stem and place tie
tomatoes on gridiron over hot Goals,
and cover with pan or lid. They are
60 be cooked slowly. When done take
up, dress very literally with butter,
salt, and pepper.
10 CAN TOMATOES. Wash clean,
drain dry, or wipe; place them in
colander, pour boiling water over them;
peel, cut off all the green part and stew
until they are perfectly heated through.
If you use tin cans make thin long rolls
of putty; fill the cans, put on the lids,
lay the rolls of putty in the grooves and
smooth them with a knife. Canned
fruit should always be kept in cool,
dry place-not in cellar.

As the days get warmer, the attacks
of insect pests will be more vigorous,
and frequent fumigation, with more
thorough syringings, will be necessary.
A free admission of aid will be needed
at all timet when the temperature out
side will permit. Shade will soon be
required, and is best provided by using
ordinary lime wash upon the glass To
make gradual shade this is firted
from the brush in drops, and increasing
the scattering as more shade is required
For windows this method will not ans
wer. A screen of common muslin is
most convenient and satisfactory. 1t
is easy to keepthe greenhouse attractive
all through the summer, when large
share of the plants have been moved
outside. Balsams grown in pots are
very snowy, and group of Gesuerias is
a pleasant object. A number of other
rapid growing ANIMALS, and other plants,
may help fill up the otherwise empty
shelves with attractive plants. Propo-
CATION of all kinds of stock for bedding
plants should be going on rapidly.--Am.

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, large proper
ton of the precious metal used, is need
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the neces-
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless so far as UTIL-
ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAS.
BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CA
SEES, this WASTE of precious metal is
OVERCOME, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third
to one-half of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is of the NEST sim
pie nature, as follows plate of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates Of SOLID
GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is strip OF
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centers, beZels, etc,
are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold IN these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds
of chasing, engraving and enameling ;
the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
This Is the only Case made 10Th ttoO Plates
Of Solid Gold and warranted 6y special cer-
tifcate. For sale by all jewelers.. Ask

SOME persons are disposed to criti-
else Senator Coleman sharply be-
cause he did not support the 1908
proposition to settle the State debt.
We did not hear any of Mr.. Cole
mans public speeches last fall, but
he told us in q private conversation
when he first became a candidate
that he was in favor of the 50-4 set
Element and would not support any
measure for a higher figure. We
supposed his position on that ques-
ton was well-known and under
stood. Senator Coleman has not
deceived us. He has done Just what
he said he would do. Whether he
has done right or wrong as a Ten
nessean and a patriot is another
question, and one which we at pres
ent do not wish to discuss.

RECENT LOCAL ELECTIONS IN
THE WEST.

The Democrats in Chicago have
elected Harrison mayor and nearly
their entire city and town tickets
by a fair majority. Harrison's ma
jority is about 5000. The socialist
ticket received no support. The
council will probably remain re-
publican, as at present. Columbus,
O., has also been carried by the
Democrats. ST. Louis is conceded
to the Republicans. The Demo
Gratis elected their ticket in Dubu-
que, Iowa, Monday, with three tick
cts in the field. The official count
of the Cincinnati election gives VIM.
Means, Democrat, for mayor, 2,514
majority. The council remains Re
publican. The Republican MAORI
ty in Michigan for Supreme Court
Judge and university regents on
Monday was about 10000. The
Democrats elected the most of their
local ticket in Little Rock, Arkan-
sas. Omaha, Neb., was carried by
the Democrats, and the whole city
government is reorganized under
the new law at this election.

Poor fellow He was in town
last week. Came to court. We
saw him 'fair to look upon" in the
morning. We saw him again in
the evening, but, alas how things
change. He was bracing himself
against a brick wall. His eyes were
glaring wild, his hair stood out like
punches Of sedge grass, his once
placid features twisted like a case
of cramp collie, his mouth ferment-
ing like keg of beer. He was the
best man in town! Knew it Could
clean up his weight in wildcats !
He was the great Octagon catamOunt
of Arizona! Big Injun with his
war paint on! The town marshal
saw him also, and persuaded him to
HE with him to a place where wild
cats and catamOUnts abounded. He
quieted down in the mansion pre-
pared for such, and was soon bat
thing in dreamland. When he came
out he was a sober and wiser man.

THE Democratic party in the Uni

mare to lead them. With the old
gray mare the whole drove would
stay together and go along quietly

mixed up, running here and there,
backward and forward, jumping
into everybody's fields, breaking
through the woods, kicking each
other, biting each other and acting
in every way very much like that
