About Being q Guest.

All my life have been accustomed to
great many guests. 1t often puzzles
me that some people, who in many re-
spects were as agreeable as others, were
so much easier and pleasanter to enter
tair. 1t has only lately dawned upon
me that there is talentin being enter
tanned just as in entertaining. .m
Ifone and all of us W, Md cultivate
this gift, we would have more and
heartier invitations. In watching one of
the most successful of visitors, l learned
these simple rules: ~ o. "7 '@alsf
l. Be always ready for everything IF
you must fail in any one particular,
never let it be breakfast. When YOU
are late for this meal you keep back the
whole households plan for the day.
2. Always look interested and, if pos
sible say often how ayr cable YOU think
things. It is much easier to work for a
friends pleasure if one thinks she real

Irish Conference at Dublin.

!. A Dublin special says; iParnell,3 Dillon,
Dayitt and other Irish leaders have issued a
circular callinga conference OF representa-
tive men at Dublin on the 18th Of October
for the purpose of discussing pro. ramme
of reform for Ireland, which will be sub
mitted. The programme which has been
mapped out is really that which will unite
all the sections of'the party and enable all
the various interests to join in one move
ment which will within the law carry on
the work Of the now defunct land league
This new movement will embrace peasant
proprietary as to the parliamentary pro-
gramme and the relief of evicted tenants,
and tie increasing war against landlordism.
The plan which is now to be tried is that of
the practical naturalization of land. .....

Our EARNINGS and Saw nes

According to Mr. Ed ward Atkinson, but
half of the 100000 people Of the United
States can be reckoned in the working force
OF the nation. The earnings ofthis working
force, male and female, cannot exceed an av-
erage of 81 day each for the 1865 days of the
year, so that the annual income ofthe people,
in round tumbers, is $40, 00O, 600, 600 He
estimates that tn sustenance of our popu a
5lon averages 45 cents a day for each man,
woman and child, so that 80 cents of every
1ollar earned is consumed leaving ut 10 per
cent. oil the annual earnings to maintain ex-
listing capital and increase the nation,
wealth. His opinion is tn t the increase u
wealth is less than $5OO.OOO,0O0 annual y
His purpose in this exhibit is to encourage
economy. r.rfEI III -.

Fattening Food.
New York Sun.


Corn at 20 cents bushel is still the
cheapest fattening food for pigs; but
when corn is so dear it is best to study
the most economical manner of feeding:
corn in the ear, boiled with small pota-
toes, will be worth twice as much as dry
corn and raw potatoes. Indeed, raw po-
tatoes will scarcely do more than support
life, and may often be injurious being
indigestible and drastic in their effects
upon the bowels. Corn-meal boiled to
thick mush and mixed with skinned
milk and fed when nearly cold will make
the cheapest pork. A bushel of corn fed
in this way has made "a pounds of pork.
Corn-meal stepped in water is about as
good as boiled whole corn, and the latter
is the cheaper of the two. Pigs do not
thrive well upon warm feed, and they
do better with four light meals day
than with two heavy ones

The wine business of California is no
small item in the resources of that
state. About 100000 gallons of wine
are produced annually, and about 2,o00,-
OOd gallons are yearly sent eastward,
where it is adorned with foreign labels
and sold as an imported article. The
quality is said to he good, and even
some professed connoisseurs are de-
ceived when California wine is offered
them under the guise of well-known
foreign names Much of the wine con-
sumed in the state is also ! randed by
the winners with such names as st
Julien, Chateau La Rose, or Chateau
LATTE Wine which retails at Sc case
sells readily under these names for ST.
or SlS'a case. 1t is probably the fact that
very little foreign wine is sold in this
country, and that a large share of the so
called imported wine for which Ameri
can tipplers pay handsome prices so
readily comes from the vineyards of the
slope" The only imposition practiced,
however, is inrespect to the price. The
quality of the wine is perhaps quite as
good as the most of that sent to America
from France and Spain.

General orders No. 81 rreprimanding
Major Joseph H. Taylor, Assistant-Ad-
iutant- General, for having asked politi-
cal assistance from the 'kenturky sena-
tors to Sc ture the revocation of an order
transferring him from Newport, Ky,
= 10 Omaha, is published. The order
is 'ong, consisting mainly of recitation
of facts, and the reprimaud is thus
mildly administered: In the army the
rule has been, is now, and ever must
be, that an officer must obey first, and
. afterwards, if any wrong is felt, he
may properly represent through inter
mediate commanders up to the
very Highest. the President of
Che United States. To seek
outside Influence, or to accept out
side influence when a sure mode of re-
dres for all real grievances is given by
the statues and usages governing the ar
my, is destructive to all good discipline,
and the higher the officer, the more ex-
allied his reputation and fame, the worse
the example. If Major Taylor may with
impunity defy any orders, regulations
and usages and resort to irregular and
forbidden methods, other ffiocers will
surely do the same with equal if not
greater impunity.

End Of the Christiancy Divorce Case

The Christiancy divorce case, which has
been the gossip of the country for several
years past, has reached climax by a decree
ofthe equity court at Washington granting
separation to theex-minister on the ground
of d. ertion. This decision was made on a
supplemental bill and its effect will be to
throw aside the voluminous testimony taken
before an examiner, in regard to adultery i'll
treatment etc the record now being held
by the stenogrepher for non payment of the
cost of transcribing. 1t is stated that this
conclusion of the case is the result
of an interview between the prin-
cipals a few weeks ago, and tn at
Mrs. Christiancy consented to allow her
husband his freedom without putting in a
cross bill, and thus putting him to addition
al expense. Thousands of dollars have
been spent by Mr.. Christiancy in court fees
and alimony to his pretty wife, and the in
roads on his means were more than he could
stand. He therefore consented to an inter
view with Mrs. Christancy, at which the
scheme was consumated.

Confiagration at Grand Meadow

"a Half of the village of Grand Meadow,
Mower Co., Mimi, is in ashes. The fire
was set by incendiaries last Sunday Mig bit at
midnight. Nine dwellings and a business

tire destruction would probably not involve
