BACKING DowN.-An Albany dispatch
announces that a majority of the Re-
publican members of the New York
Legislature have signed, or are about to
sign, a petition setting forth their entire
confidence in the ability Of the two Re
representatives. of New York in the United
States Senate to decide about the confr-
nation OF rejection of any nominations
for Federal offices which may be sub.
mitted for their approval. 1t is said this
is being done at the instigation of Sena-
tor Conkling, and is clear back down
from the resolution unanimously passed
by the Assembly requesting the prompt
confirmation of Judge Robertson, Mr.
Conkling's political enemy, as Collector
forthe port of New York.

The Chicago TTmss declares that the
Illinois Legislature is an ignorant and
corrupt body, and, with this as a text,
launches forth into the remarkable prop
osition to do away with all Legislatures
and let Congress make all our laws for
us. The New York Sun properly de-
nounces such revolutionary doctrines in
very severe terms. There are as many
people dissatisfied with Congress as with
the Illinois Legislature, it remarks. If
the Chicago Times plan was adopted
these people would probably call for SINH
lar action in regard to Congress, and
leave US, like Russia, without any gov
eminent whatsoever.

A Wholesale Cooperative Society.

An interesting account of the progress
of the Wholesale COOPERATIVE Society
has been published by the Manchester
Guardian, and some of its particulars
are worth reproducing for the lesson
they convey. The society was es-
tablished in 1868, and is federation of
retail cooperative societies carrying on
business all over England and Wales.
At its start it had a capital of only 1889,
and did business in its first year to the
extent of but 95, 962. Only forty soeie-
ties were embraced In it, with an aggre-
gate membership of 1855. According
to its balance sheet, made up at the
25th of June last, 618 different societies
have now got shares in it, and IT'S pur-
chase their goods through it. Its capt.
tai, share, loan and reserve, is now
9563, 907, and the last quarters sales
amounted to ESQ.,, 900, those for the
whole year being 93, 389,000. During
the seventeen years of its existence this
society has done business of nearly
EGG, 900, 900 at cost of only 9362, 1856,
or Ell IS. Id. per cent, its net profits in
the same period averaging FL Is. I'd.
per cent, which was enough to pay the
per cent. fixed interest ON the capital
and an average dividend of 81 per cent
in addition. The society has buyers in
Ireland, Rouen and New York, and lat
terly Copenhagen; it possesses two man.
ufactories of boots and shoes-one in
Leicester and one in Heckmondwicke,
but these have caused some disputes as
to the ALLEGATION of profits, the workmen
declaring that the profits of labor ought
not to be divided on the same basis as
the profits of the distributing trade.
The society, however, is evidently in
fourishing condition, although it has
departed in some measure from its strict
ly cash payment principle in lending
money to subsidiary retail societies. 1t
is the banker of 100 of these retail stores
as well as their source of supply, and
has advanced the money gathered from
its richer adherents in that capacity to
the poorer. In this there must be con-
siderable risk, but, apart from danger of
this kind, the great business thus
founded appears to offer favorable ex-
ample of what may be done by co-opera-
tion.-PaU Mall Gazette.

A Turkish Tea.Party.

A correspondent gives the following
picture of a Turkish tea-party;
Through the open windows that look
out on the garden come a scent of roses
and the hum of bees, mingled with the
laughter of children, who are playing on
a well-trimmed lawn, under the eyes Of
the dark-eyed Circassian nurses. The
mistress of the harem-the Bunk Hanum
(great LADY,, to give her full title
dresses much like an English lady nova
days, reads French novels and plays the
piano, though she dons the native dress
upon state occasions, such as the chalvas,
when she entertains other ladies. Chalva
means cake, but has come to designate
party at which that dainty is eaten,
Just as we say tea for a-party in Eng
land. When o Turkish lady gives a
chalva her husband is excluded while
the strange women are IN the house.
These guests begin to arrive towards 6,
accompanied by their maid-servants and
negroes carrying lanterns and bringing
their children with them. Closely muf-
fed, they divest themselves of their
burnonses and babouches in an ante
room, and put on delicate slippers which
they had brought with them in bags.
The reception rooms are brilliantly
lighted up with pink candles and scented
with fragrant pastilles. There is no
kissing or Misunderstanding between the
hostess and her guests; but each lady,
as she comes in, lifts her hand grace
fully to her heart, her lips and her brow,
which means I am devoted to you with
heart, mouth and mind This mode of
salutation, when smilingly performed, is
very pretty, The greetings being ended
the company seat themselves on chairs
if there be any Frank ladies present; if
not, they betake themselves to the div
ans and carpets, and the cake-eating be-
gins"

spiced sauces and hot pickle-iuice in
order to "give it q TASTE" the French
use delicate vegetable essences and
savory herbs. Carrots, turnips, onions,
leeks, cabbage, mushrooms and truf11es,
together with tarragon, thyme, chervil,
laurel and parsley, form the basis Of
French favors. Spices they use in ex-
ceeding moderation. The essence Of
common vegetables and pot-herbs com
bined with the juices of various meats, is
the basis of all their success. The almost
infinite variety of combinations which
can be made of these simple ingredients
is astonishing. This great variety of
favors keeps the palate constantly
amused, as it were, whereas the eternal
monotony of the average English kitchen
results in a sort of gastronomic boredom,
which is to be combated only by such
violentmeansa sstrong mustard, cayenne,
and that esculent fire known as shot
pickles" So perfectly is the food favored
by French cooks that at table not ever

was travelling in Europe with the jarrett
& Palmer Uncle Tom Combination, he
received large mail daily. One day he
was showing his letters to Mr.. jarrett
who was reading them to him, as he had
never learned to read. Suddenly Mr..
Jarrett was overcome with emotion.
Where did you get that letter ?" he
asked, holding out one with the royal
insignia printed on the corner, and
signed by court official.
"Dat one? Why, I've carried dat il

"Why, you idiotl'' shouted Jarrett
"that is a command to appear before

is misnomer to call our improved
implements 'labor-saving machines. Z"
They render labor more productive; but
labor is as much in demand as before.
Indeed, it is the rule that where farm
tools are clumsy and poor and labor is I'M
productive, there it is but poorly paid
and but little in demand. As implements
improve, labor becomes more productive,
and being worth more, higher wages are
paid. This rational solution of the labor
and wages problem is wholly misunder-
stood in Europe where the implements
are resisted by the laboring classes.

me ONO Legislature EIgnty Iears Agv.

Michael Baldwin, the irrepressible and
lrcSi1iglbie, vas no more dignifed, alb
stemious or moral in his position as
Speaker of the first Ohio House of Rep
resentatives than he has been in former
over the Chamber in 1903, 1904 and 1905.
It is matter of tradition that for his
own pecuniary benefit, and for the entor-
tainment among those of the Legislators
who had penchant for gaming, he es-
tablished in his rooms the game of "vingt-
et-un," himself acting as banker and
dealer, and as matter OF course winning
more frequently than any of the other
players. On one occasion, after much
drinking and late setting at the gam
bling-table, Baldwin found himself In
possession not only of all the money Of
his companions, but of many of their
watches. In the morning the House of
Representatives was found to be without
q quorum but Baldwin, accustomed
to heavy drinking and late hours, was in
his place back of the Speakers desk.
Rapping sayagely with his gavel, he de-
manded the roll-call of the House, and
then sent the Sergeant-at-Arms out with
orders to bring in the delinquent mem
bers. After an hour or SO that function
airy returned, followed by about dozen
members of the Ohio Legislature, whose
blood-shot eyes, sufused faces, unsteady,
shambling steps, and general air Of
shamefacedness indicated the late hours
they had kept, and their heavy indul-
gences. With much austerity of man.
ner, Baldwin reprimanded the tardy
members, reminded them of the cost
to which the infant State was subjected
by paying of their per diem1s, and was
proceeding to further elaborate his CEN
sure on their late arrival and the conse-
quent delay of legislation, when one of
the delinquents, exasperated beyond
control, cried out, Hold on there, Mr..

reason, for Mrs. Jones is pretty as well
as smart. She was lecturing on temper

THE phrase "Speaking for bun
combe" originated near the close of the
debate on the famous "Missouri ques-
tion," in the Sixteenth Congress. Il
was then used by Felix Walter, who
lived at Waynesville, N. O., near the
County of Buncombe, which formed
part Of his district. The old man rose
to speak, while the House was impa-
tiently calling for the "question. Sew
eral members asked him to desist, but
he declared that the people of his dis
trict expected it, and he was bound to
"make speech for Buncombe."
ST.. NICHOLAS is said to have been
Bishop of Myra, in Lycia, and to have
died in 1876 A. d. OF this personal
history little or nothing is known with
certainty. The young were universally
taught to revere him. He is said to
have supplied three destitute maidens
with marriage portions, by secretly leav-
ing money at their window, and, as this
day occurred just before Christmas, he
was made the purveyor of the gifts of
the season to all children in Flanders
and Holland, who put out their shoe or
stocking in the confidence that Santa
Claus, or Knecht Klobes, as they called
him, would put in prize for good con-
duct before morning.
THE following is the list of moral
virtues, being rules drawn up by Benja-
min Franklin, to which he paid constant
and earnest attention: Temperance
Eat not to fullness; drink not to ele-
walton. Silence-Speak not but what
may benefit others or yourself; avoid
trifing conversation. Order-Let all
your things have their places; let each
part of your business have its time.
Observation-Disclosures to perform what
you ought perform without fail what
you resolve. Frugality-Make no ex-
pense, but do good to others as yourself
that is, waste nothing. Industry
no time; be always employed in some
thing useful, but avoid all unnecessary
actions. Sincerity-Use no hurtful de-
ceit; think innocently and Justly, and,
if you speak, speak accordingly. Justice
Wrong no one by doing injuries, OF
emitting the benefits that are your duty.
Moderation-Avoid extremes; forbear
resenting injuries. Cleanliuess-Suffer
no uncleanliness in body, clothes. OF
habitation. Tranquillity-Be not dis
turbed about trifes, or at accidents, com
mon or unavoidable. Humility-Iml-
tate Jesus Christ.
