Poor HoUsE-The annual report of
the State Board of Charities and Reform
makes the following remarks on
the system of poor relief in vogue in
Grant county. I'm this county, for
wonder the contract system works well.
The contractor, Mr.. Showalter, is paid
well enough so that he can afford to take
good care of the paupers and insane,
and he does so. The Grant county poor
house ranks as one of the best poor
houses in the state in spite of the wrong
plan ON which it is managed. The
same report gives the total cost of out
door relief to the towns as S3,7l9, AZ and
the total cost of pauperism in this county
indoor and out door relief, 5000, %.
The number of inmates confined in the
county poor house during the year was
50, forty-seyen remaining at the close
of the year. OF these 90 are insane and
10 idiotic Eight are blind.

pairing his annual spring edict to the

A LITTLE stir has been made among
the horsemen of this vicinity by the APP
pearance in thcirmidst of the celebrated
stallion Mambrino-Swigert, that was
lately purchased by Mr.. VIM. }. Dyer,
4 Lancaster dealer in bloodcd stock,
from Mr.. /. l.. Case, of Racine. The
horse is pronounced by good Judges to
be one of the finest ever brought into
this section. He is black, not quite
six years old, stands nearly sixteen
hands high and is said to be faultless in
disposition. From his pedigree, which
is given in detail in circulars which Mr..
Dyer has recently prepared, it will be
seen that Mambrino-Swigert combines
i'm his veins some of the best trotting
blood in the country, having double
cross, so popular with good breeders,
into two of the best families. To those
who are DESTROYS of improving the blood
of their stock this Importation affords /;
chance such rs is hardly ever offered

to appoint A. Michaeis city clerk for

salary fixed at $3.50 for the year, or a

Office. There was some discussion on
the question of sidewalk building, when
it transpired that the city had already
over seven miles of sidewalk within its
limits and some of the members of the
board were averse to building any more
so long as the city had to care for it,
taking the ground that the responsibility
was already too heavy

Watson, resigned, to accept situation

Miss Hedges, who follows Miss Watson

CURING "SCAREY HoRsEs.-A cor
respondent of the Oregon Farmer and
Dairymdn says he has cured "scarey
horses, old and young, of this disagree
able and dangerous habit by the follow
ing simple process: "My plan when
riding a horse, and he scares at any
object along the road, is to speak to
him kindly. Then stop him as soon as
convenient. Let him stand and take
good look at the object he scared at,
then give him few gentle strokes on
the neck with the hand and coax him
up to the object. Do not whip him or
urge him too hard at first but give
him time 10 see that he is not going to
be hurt. Then have him 60 up and
smell of the object-if it is not dead
animal or some other offensive thing.
when this has been done a few times
his confidence in his master and him
self has been gained. find that he
will soon stop if he sees anything he
does not understand. Some will say
they do not want horse to stop. He
viii not stop many times, for he will
soon learn that he is not going to be
hurt and will not scare. 1 find that
some horses scare from having their
foretops hanging over their eyes, which
gives objects the appearance of NOV

The Kitchen Discussed.

A feminine genius has been discuss
ing the kitchen. Some people, she
says, seem to think that it is as easy to |
bring about q universal kitchen reform |
as it is to start discussion on the sub
Ject. Bring on your improvements,
they say; but, alas improvements,
especially in the kitchen, are slow in
coming, and won't be brought on, till
modern digestion has borne all the
insults it is possible to bear. Then,
maybe, Bridget will cease to be cook
ing lady, and lots of frying pans will
turn their handles into wings and fly
their unhealthy ways. Every house
still has it's denominations. What is to
be done? In the first place, people
must be induced to think about the
kitchen; to see and admit that as it is
run at present it is, in a majority of
cases, first-class arrangement for the
waste of fuel and heat, a sure breeding
place for reaches, and a tip-top concern
for the development of dyspepsia.
The idea of each separate house hav-
ing kitchen, with fire enough used
each day to cook for twenty houses
and, by the process of steam, to heat a
whole block of houses! The idea of
each separate house having a Bridget
to cook, and often to spoil the food for
that particular house alone, when a
couple of experienced cooks could do
excellent cooking for the residents of a
whole square! The fire blazes in
every kitchen, the ashes accumulate
and the dust flies, and no man is very
much comforted. The steam bubbles
and wastes itself in the private boilers
constantly fretting to be of some ser
vice to mankind, but nobody reaps the
benefit.
What is to be done? There seems
to be no doubt that the present kitchel
is an enormous imposition on the breaC
winners Of the race, and an unnecessar,
burden and care for the housekeeper
and misstresses of each particula
home. To some people it has appear
ed plain enough that cooperative o
public Kitchens would be a vast bless
ing and saving to the community.
