Pleasing the Public.
claiborne Guardian.l


Every one engaged in any public vo-
cation early realizes that he has a mas
ter that is exacting, and often tyraDni-
cal in his demands. If prompt and ex-
act obedience is not rendered to his COM
mands Innnishment swift and terrible
will fa1i npon the Otfenders's head. The
public will tolerate no one who will not
pander to it's wishes. Among those
who have this exacting master to con
tend with may be reckoned the news
paper man. Every person who takes
the paper thinks he has an undoubted
right to direct and control the policy Of
the paper, and il in any respect his
wishes are disregarded he will stop the
paper, that is, stop his subscription, and
it is fortunate thing that it is in the
power Of no one man to stop a newspa-
peIss If this were the case it would be
a dangerous venture for anybody to in
cur the expense and trouble necessary
to bring out paper, for somebody
would be sure to be displeased with the
first issue. Something would be said
that should not have been said, or
something fail to be said that should
have been said, and the paper would
have to suspend. And then again, it is
impossible for anybody to please every
body. People are so widely different in
their tastes that what pleases one
displeases another, or more likely a
large number Of others, and the paper
that was run on the pleasing principle
would have to have as many policies as
it had subscribers, and every issue
would be go-back on every previous
issue. One man wants to read nothing
but politics, another nothing but
nro Is IN ha o1-oyc
some thing wonderful, and the paper
nnaccountable is dry and worthless,
while another thinks such incledulous
lies should not find place in the col
umns Of a respectable newspaper, and
thus the notions OF people vary. The
point where satisfaction is hardest to
give is in bestoWing sufficient notice
upon the self-impOrtant class. Per-
sous Of this description always want
t s. 9 their names in print, and imag-
iGt4 that the local paper is run for the
sole purpose of gratifying their personal
vanity. TO sin against this class is to

The three territories which are billed
to be set up as States-to-wit, New
Mexico, Washington and Dakota-have
an aggregate population Of $4,000. Of
the population OF New Mexico, which
is the most populous Of the three, it
may be said with safety that if all Of
that which is native were swept off by
a deluge, it would be filter for State.
Of all, it may be said with reasonable
certainty that each State will be owned
and run by a railroad corporation, en-
lowed with a grant of most OF the
land.-[Cinci innati Gazette, Rep.

THE REASON WHY.-The tonic effect

Constipation is positively cured by
Carter's Little Liver Pills. Not by
purging and weakening the bowels, but
by regulating and siren ngthening them.
This is done by improving the digestion
and stimulating the liver to the proper
secretion of bile, when the bowels will
perform their customary functions in
an easy and natural manner. Purga-
tive pills must be avoided. Ask for
Carter's Little Liver Pills. Price %
cents.

If you are suffering from indigestion
or any complaint of the Stomach or
bowels, you will obtain great relief by
using the Prickly Ash Bitters, as they
have the property of gently relieving
these organs and placing them in a
good, sound healthy condition.

New Races of Bees.

DIR. A. Jones, of Beeton, Canada, an
enthusiastic apiarist, sent Frank Benton
a New York bee-keeper and linguist, on
a tour around the world in search of new
kinds of bees. Mr.. Benton remained
during last winter upon the island of
Cyprus, starting an apiary and shipping
queens to Mr.. Jones, and this year he is
taking a trip in search of new races of
bees through the Indian Ocean. visiting
Hindoostan, the island of Ceylon, farther
India the island of Java, and perhaps
the Philippine islands Writing from
Columbo Ceylon, Mr.. Benton says: "I
have seen two native races Of bees here,
and the comb of a third. One is sting
less, but worthless. One race is Apis
Indlca, but Apis dorsata is certainly
wonderful bee, whether it can be domes-
tlcated or not. 1t builds in the open air
on branches, often making combs six feet
long, and l have good authority for say
ing that thirty natives have each taken
load of honey from one tree. call it
Apis dorsata; but do not know posi-
lively that this is its name as have not
yet seen the bee Everybody saws.
though, that there is a larger bee from
which great quantities of honey are
easily gotten, in the interior of the is
land But Mr. Benton did not 90 to
the interior Of the island, because, as he
says, 1T was too late when I learned
where to find it, to go to that part of the
island and reach this French steamer"
He will stop at Ceylon again upon his
return TRIP. Writing from Java, he
say " have not yet seen a bee of this
race (Apis dorsata), but have seen two
combs of these bees, which are three feet
by three and half feet, are one and a
half inches thick where the brood was
reared, about twenty cells to the square
inch. The bees must be seven-eiehths
OF an inch long"

The Fine Art of Cooking.

Good cooking is an important element
In home life and happiness. Many peo-
pie think that while girl must 90 to
school for years to accomplish knowl-
edge of her own and foreign languages,
and must have masters, for this and that
accomplishment, she may be safely left
to pick up an acquaintance with cooking
after she has household of her own.
This is a mistake. 1 myself once had
dreadful time trying to prepare dinner,
in the absence of my faithful Bridget, and
1 would have given up Latin, Greek, and
French that day to have known when
the potatoes were done, and to have
discovered how to get the peas and beans
out of the water in which they were
floating.
To be good cook, girls, one needs
light, firm hand, an accurate eye, and
patient temper. One needs, too, a few
rules and trustworthy receipt-book.
We have all seen the easy way in which
a good cook makes a cake. She losses
three or four things together, gives a firt
of the spice-box, and feathery touch or
two of her foamy eggs, pops the pan into
the oven, and presto there appears the
perfect LOAF. And if you ask her how
she did this or the other part of her work,
she will very likely smile and say, ooh,
l used my judgment"
The Judgment is the quality which no
novice In cooking can expect TO possess,
Just as no novice on the piano can per-
form the Moonlight Sonata" after learn
ing two or three scales, and no beginner
with pencil can paint such sea-pieces
as De Haas
But if you are watchful and persever-
ing, the judgment will surely come, and
by and by you will be as Independent.
Whatever else you omit, girls, do not
omit to learn to prepare food properly,
for
You may live without friends, you may live
without books,
But civilized men cannot live without cooks.

Charcoal for Sick Animals

In nine cases of out of ten when an
animal is sick, the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid
corrective. The hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
COWS was very sick, and a kind neiehbor
proposed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being i'll and unable to ex.
anime the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from over-eating. and
ordered teaspoonful of pulverised
charcoal to be given in water. 1t was
mixed, placed in a Junk bottle, the head
turned downward. In five minutes i'm.
provement was visible, and in few
hours the animal was in the pasture
quietly grazing. Another instance of
equal success occurred with a yonne
heifer which had become badly bloated
by eating green apples after hard wind
The bloat was so severe that the sides
were as hard as a barrel. The old
remedy, saleratus, was tried for correct.
ing the acidity. But the attempts at
putting 1T down always raised coughing,
and 1T did little good. Half a teaspoon
lul OF fresh powdered charcoal was given.
In six hours all the appearance of the
bloat had gone, and the better was well.

While care should be taken to cover
strawberry-vines before the weather be-
comes too freezing, equal care should be
taken not to cover them before the warm
weather is about over. To cover lust
enough, requires good judgment, as well
as some experience. The plants should
be protected, but not smothered.

The fret paragraph declaring Camp
bell mot entitled to the seat" was
unanimously adopted. Substitutes for
the second paragraph were offered by
Moulton and Ranney, which. in effect,
set forth that CAnnon's private character

The Minneapolis Minnesota, Tribune of
late date said General Freight Agent Ham
naford, of the Northern Pacific, was busy
yesterday in exhibiting to stock anu COM
mission men nine of the Cincinnati COM
pany's parlor cattle cars, just received from
the factory, and part OF the equipment the
car company has contracted to supply to the
Northern Pacific. These nine cars, with one
formerly received, will be sent to Miles City
this week, to be loaded with Montana cattle
for Chicago, and will then be run through to
Chicago without unloading the cattle, in
about four and half days. These cars, as
will be remembered by the full description
given in the Tribune last season, are sup
piled with movable partitions, so that each
animal is stalled by itself with room enough
to lie down, and are also fitted with appli-
ances for watering and feeding the cattle on
the cars, each of which will carry eight days
supply of food, and water enough for two
days for eighteen animals.
