The democrats WIZ have nineteen majority on
joint ballot in the West Virginia legislature
which meets on the 18th OF January. The Sena-
torlal contest IS the event Of interest connected
with the legislative session The leading candi-
dates are Congressman Kenna, Ex-Governor Mat
thewS, ex-senator Hereford, and, as now under
STOOD, Senator Davis with numerous dark horses
In The background In the late election the demo-
Gratis narrowly escaped defeat and the close shave
the party had now enters as factor In the Sena-
toriai race congressman kenna was the only
one OF the leaders who held his district I'D to the
usual party vote. All the others, and among them
several Senatorial aspirantS, suffered heavy losses
In their respective portions Of the state and there
Dy I0St the election OF members OF the legislature
friendly to them. One result IS that Kenna's dis
trict where the democrats made some gains, sends
majority OF the democratic members OF the
legislature As the district has elected Mr.
kenna four times TO Congress, and as his friends
were active in securing the nomination OF legisla-
tive candidates favorable to him. the supposftion
that he viii have the united support OF the
members from his Congressional district. which
would give him majority OF six in the democratic
caucus, and thus secure him the nomination Mr.
henna Is only "a years Old. but he has attained
rank as one or his party leaders in the House As
member OF that body he has given active SUD-
port TO all measures for the Improvement and
benefit OF the national capital, and If elevated to
the Senate, the District could count another good
friend in that body

The Mississippi river committee which rejected
o government soat because IL was not large
enough and fine enough, and chartered a paIattal
steamer for their inspection tour down the Father
OF Waters, are not oyerburdening themselves with
labor, according TO the Memphis papers. or all
The points along the Mississippi Memphis is one
which demands consideration In connection with
any general plan for the improvement OF that
river The current Is, and has been for years,
steadily encroaching upon the Memphis shore and
some public money has already been expended In
works 10 check these abrasions OF the stream.
Considerable expenditure will be necessary to
permanently remedy this evil, and to prevent a
threatened "cut-or" OF the river lust above Men,
PMS The people OF that city expected the con-
gressional committee u make a thorough inspec-
uon Oh the condition OF the river and river works
there; but IN this they were disappointed. The
committee arrived late one evening and departed
early next morning, actually passing Memphis by
without any sort OF inspection The citizens OF
Memphis are Indignant at the treatment they have
received and the press there is OF the opinion that
the committee Will not have any infor nation for
Congress worth considering.

Poetry and Practical Work,

Charles Sprague, a Boston boy, cash
Ter and poet, whose Fourth-oi-July ora
ton has been 'got by heart by moro
than one generation, was indebted for
his intellectual cultivation to his own eff
forts. He began with q common-school
education, which then meant the three
reading, rting and 'ritlmeiic.'
But he supplemented those hy reading
good books and by the practice Of com
position in prose and poetry.
Entering groccrs shop, he worked
up until he had store of his own. Sew
eral odes he wrote, especially one, rccited
at the Shakespeare celebration in Bos-
ton, in 1928, attracted public attention.
He was appointed cashier of the Globe
Bank and held the Office for forty years,
thus showing that literature and banking
may be intimate friends
His Shakespeare ode, which has been
greatly admired contains one passage,
the one descriptive of the murder, which
was favorite OF the late Jane. T. Fields.
On mentioning this fact 70 Mr. Sprague,
he said, -
"Ah. howwcll do remember the day
wrote that was keeping grocer =
shop on fremont Row at the time, II
was cold, stormy, winters day, and ]
was alone in the shop siltmgoycr Il sheet
iron stove.
Il had just reached this passage and
was hoping nobody would come in,
when a man opened the door aud asked
for quart Of train-oil Well sir, | flied
his vessel for him and handed it back,
and then, my hands reeking with train
oil, finished that passage
The anecdote illustrates that we'll
filled and trained mind can do lis work
amid the most uuiayoyable surroundings.
Few would think grocer shop suitable
for a poets room, or that traiu-oil was
favorable to poetic compositions But
MIR. Sprague had the mental power TO
master even these surroundings.

Domestic Recipes,


Potato Soup. Six large or ten medi-
um-sized potatoes, one onion, one stalk
Of celery, one tablespoonful Of butter,
one tablespoon of salt, quarter of tea
spoonful Of white pepper. Cut up onion
and celery, add TO milk and put it on in
a double boiler to boil slowly while the
potatoes are cooking Boil them by
rule already given, mash fine and light
when done, add the butter and season
ing and then the boiling milk. Rub all
through coarse sieve and serve at
once, as it spols if allowed to stand.
Boiled Leg of Mutton. Allow twenty
minutes TO the pound and put on in boil
ing water to which tablespoonful Of salt
to the quart has been added. 1t is
whi'Jf and more delicate boiled in
cloth, but does not require it, Fast boil
ing hardens the meat II should merely
simmer till done, and if to be eaten cold
is better cooled in the water, rs this
makes il more juicy Strain the broth
into the stock jar,
Caper Sauce Melt in saucepan
piece Of butter the size of an egg and
add two even tabIespoonfuls of Sifted
-four Stir steadily till smooth and add
slowly one pint OF milk or milk and wa
ter, or water alone, the milk being most
delicate and making what is called
cream r0Ur Add two tablespooniuls Of

also nice, and q speck of cayenne pep
per may be used,
Potato Pulls Boil aud mash the
potatoes by rule already given, and
while hot make into balls the size of
large egg. Butter a tin sheet, brush
over the balls with yolk of an egg and
brown them quicklyn a hot oven which
will take from five to ten minutes. Slip
them from the tin with a knife to hot
platter and serve at once.

Blend tablespoonful of butter and one
of -four smoothly, add n salt,poomful of
pepper and two Of salt. simmer all to-
gothcr ten or fifteen minutes and serve
in deep dish.
Tea No matter what variety may be
used, there are certain rules absolutely
essential for all To begin with. never
use tin teapot if an earthen one is OBJ
tainable. An even teaspoonfnl of dry
tea is the usual allowance for q person.
Scald the teapot with little boiling wa.
ter and pour it off. Put in the tea, pour
on about teacupful of boiling water,
letting il stand minute or two for the
leaves TO swell. Then fill with the re-
quirod amount of water, still boiling this
being about a small cupful to person,
Cover closely and let il stand for five
minutes. Ten will be required for Eng
fish breakfast tea, but nerer boH either,
above allin tin pot Boiling lberates the
fannie acid of the tea which acts upon
the tin, making a compound bitter and
metallic in taste and unit for human
stOmachs.

Driving a Horse,

Some OF our readers may be instruct
ed by reading the following hints about
preparing horse for his work:
The horse that is about 10 be driven
on Journey needs hardening by cycr-
cising preparing by sweating out the
body to purify and increase the circula-
ton OF the blood, and also by hand-rub-
bing the legs TO make them firm and
elasiic--a preparation in some degree
corresponding with that attained by a
horse that is daily driven ON the road
for ordinary work
For one week previous 10 the start
they need daily exercise, commencing
with eight or ten miles, and gradually
increasing to twenty per day
This exercise, with appropriate food,
will harden their muscles, strengthen
their limbs aod prepare them TO perform
their tasks without giving out on the
road, materially declining in flesh, or
seriously eXhausting their physical pow
crs
II we perform long drives with horses
accustomed to short work only, the sud-
den transition from Incidence to great
eXerton will relax their muscles, weak
en- their joints, depress their spirits and
break down their constitution.
The leading cause of so many valua-
BILE horses being spoiled by long drives
is from being short of work. They are
not prepared for such severe exertons
Condition will prepare them TO per.
form their work cheerfully, last out
with sound limbs and preserve their con
stituiional vigor for future usefulness. -
