Whenever the cat o. the house is black,
The lasses o lovers will have no lack.


Mr.. Henderson, speaking of this SUI
perstition, tells us that an old North
country woman on one occasion said to
lady, .'Its ma wonder Jock IS
lasses marry off so fast, We ken what
Draw black cat they've got" 1t is con-
sidered unlucky to dream of a cat, a
piece of folklore prevalent in Germany,
where if one dreams of black cat at
Christmas, It is an omen of some alarm
ing illness during the following year.
| Equally unfortunate, too, is it for a cat
to sneeze, this act being supposed to in
| dictate that the family will have colds.
| Thus we are informed by Mrs. Latham
| that in Sussex, seven the most favored
| cat, if heard to sneeze, is instantly shut
| out of doors; for should she stay to re-
peat the sneeze three times indoors, the
whole family will have colds and
| coughs"
| Lastly, there are many quaint tradi-
tons in which the cat holds a promi-
| nent place; and an amusing one current
| in the north of England, we may quote
! in conclusion: A gentleman was one
evening sitting costly in his parlor, read
inc or meditating, when he was inter-
rupted by the appearance of a cat, which
came down the chimney and cried out,
Tell Dildrum Doldrum's deadn' He
was not unnaturally startled by this
strange occurrence; and when. shortly
| after, his wife entered, and he related
10 her what had happened her own cat
which accompanied her, exclaimed, SIS
Doldrrlm dead?" and Immediately rush
ed up the chimney, and was heard of
no more. OF the numberless cOnject-
| lures stated to account for this eXtraor-
| binary event, the most reasonable one
| appears to be that Doldrum had been
King of Catland, and that Dildrum was

MAY CNtLS
Bad luck begets

According to curious notion, still ex-
tensively credited by our North-coun-
try peasantry, black cats are supposed
to bring not only good luck, but also
lovers-in illustration of which we may
quote well-known rhyme on the sub
iect:

Sunerstitions About Cats,

In Ireland it is considered highly I'M
lucky for a family to take with them n
cat when they are moving, more espe-
cially, too, when they have to cross a
river. Mr. Gregor also tells us that, IN
the northeast of Scotland, if cow or
other domestic animal was seized with
disease, one mode of cure was to twist a
rope of straw the contrary way, join the
two ends. and put the diseased animal
through the loop along with cat. By
this means the disease was supposed to
be transferred to the cat, and the ami
mails life was SO saved by the cat dying.
This, of course, was only one of the ex-
tensive charms of which the leading
idea was that of substitution. A rem
edy for erysipelas,; lately practieed in
the parish of Locharron, in the North
west Highlands, consisted in cutting off
one-half of the ear of a cat, and letting
the blood drop on the part affected. AL
luding, moreover, to the numerous 9th
er items of folklore in connection with
the cat, there is popular notion that a
May cat--a cat born in the month of
Mays of no use for catching rats and
mice, but exerts an injurious influence
on the house through bringing into it
disagreeable reptiles of various kinds.
Mrs. Latham, in her .West Sussex SUI
perstitions," says that May eat is sup
posed '.to be inclined to melancholy,
and to be much addicted to catching
snakes and bringing them into the
house. / had heard that this West
country belief existed in our village
and, very lately, observing most de-
jected-looking cat by the fire in a cot
tage, said, in jest, II should think that
cat was born in May" "Oh, yes
said the owner of it, ''that she was, and
so was her mother; and she was just as
sad-looking, and was always bringing
snakes and vipers within doors" In
Huntingdonshiret there is common say
ing that "a May kitten makes dirty
cat" This supposed ill-luck attaching
to cat born in the month of May is nc
doubt founded on the old notion that
| May was an unfortunate season for
births of any kind, in allusion to which
there is an old proVerb, which says

HOUSEHOLD.

Thin slices of bread dipped in tomato
sauce, and then fried in butter until they
are brown, take the place of an omelet.
This is good way to utilize stale
bread.
The rind of lemon is recommended
by noted cook as giving q delicate
flavor to tomato catsup. It should not
be put in until the catsup is done and is
cool. Cut it in small pieces.
When about to broil fish it is q good
plan to grease the gridiron we'll with
little lard. You will not be troubled
then by having about half the fish stick
ing to the gridiron when you attempt to
remove it to the platter.
If you wish to clean your spice mill,
you will find that by grinding handful
plished. The particles of spice and pep
per or coffee will not adhere to it after
the rice is GROUND through it.
Pretty and odd chairbacks are made of
squares of linen and of satin. This
seems at first strange combination, but
the effect is excellent. Where the
squares are Joined cover the seams with
fancy stitches. The satin squares may
be left without ornamentatlon, and all
the work put on the linen ones. En-
broidery, or painting, or etching are the
favorite methods employed.
Sometimes the mackerel intended for
breakfast is not fresh enough in the
morning to be eatable; it is then q good
time to serve boiled mackerel. Wrap
the fish in cloth securely, 80 that you
can lift it from the kettle when it is
tender without breaking it. If you
change the water two or three times, it
will freshen in q very few minutes; do
not change from boiling water to cold,
but pour from the teakettle each time.
Lemon shortcake requires rich and
very light crust; it must not be too
thick, either; when baked, cut it open
and spread butter on the upper and un-
der parts; then put in filing made Of
the rind, juice and pulp of two lemons,
one heaping cup of sugar. and cup of
cream; If You cannot procure cream,
make the filing as for lemon jelly cake,
with WAGER thickened with cornstarch,
in place of cream; cook in basin set in
a pan of boiling water.
Tomato salad is anRgreeable entire, and
goes exceedingly we'll with almost any
dinner, but particularly we'll with fried

moved and the tomatoes sliced, add the
yolks OF two hard boiled eggs, also one
raw egg, we'll beaten and mixed, with q
tablespoonful of melted butter, q table,
spoonful of sugar, with cayenne pepper
and salt to suit the taste. When all
these are mixed thoroughly, add half of

Appearance Of Arst mic Eaters.

whenever you clap your eyes on q
woman as plump as partridge, with o
milky Wilderness of complexion, puffy
eyelids and swollen skin, you've found a
victim of the habit" said physician to
reporter in abiding to the growing
use of arsenic among ladies. IF there
is delicate tinge of red ON the cheeks,
don't be deceived. Paint, not nature, is
responsible for the bloom, made hidsous
and CHASTITY by contrast with the corpsey
Wilderness of the rest of the face. The
arsenic eater is seldom downcast or
Respondent, como what may, for the
drug not only affects the skin, but pro.
duces mental exhilaration. The plump
ness produced by arsenic is not
natural plumpness, but rather dropsi-
cal condition of the skin. Cessation of
the habit causes this water-distended
skin to collapse, and wrinkles and SAL
lowness are the inevitable results. OF
course no woman is willing to submit to
this ordeal when it may be prevented, at
the mere sacrifice of health aud intellect,
by continuation of the drug. The in
evitable results of the arsenic habit are
hideous and iucurable cutaneous erup-
tions and loathsome diseases of the scalp,
falling out of the hair, drepsy and often
times insanity. But what care the foot
light favorites or the society belle for
these trifing observation-disclosures so
long as they can borrow Elusive charms
and fictitious beauty by the use of a
deadly drug?"

ITO become q first-class proof-reader is
very easy task-so easy that the wonder
is more young people don't take to it in

step is to serve an apprenticeship at
printing, which enables the student to
discern typographical irregularities. A
general acquaintance with history, bio
graphy poetry, fiction, music, geography,
the drama, etc., is important.
Politics should have earnest atten-
ton, for you must be able to
identify every man who has followed
that business from Cain down to the
present day. No matter where his res
idence or what his calibre-whether he
is or was the Premier of England, the
Oaliph of Bagdad or Bridgeport "tar-
rier"--you should have minute knowl-
edge of his public and private life, and
be able to select the proper spelling
from the half dozen ways which the au-
thor is sure to employ. Read, ponder
and assimilate Webster, the bible and
Shakespeare, Anthon's classical diction-
airy. Rogers Theasaurus, Lippinoott's

Draft Horses.

ones that will bring renumerative prices

change 10 evident, as much of the labor
that was done on the farm by man is

There were plenty of seats in the car,
but as he walked down the aisle he
looked sharply to the right and
left until he reached a pretty girl who
was sitting alone.
"Seat engaged, Miss?" he asked, with q
knowing wink.
"N-o, sir" stammered the girl, look.

Down he pumped and braced himself
for the campaign. He was regular
passenger, and held his Communication

''Shall open"
"Tickets!" reared the conductor, who
had watched him from afar.
The regular passenger smiled sweetly
on the pretty girl and put up his PASTE

promptly nipped.

been nominated by the republican

that convention, and no one knows
better than he that neither Mr.. Brown

not want it for several reasons-first,
they knew that the convention was

The postmaster denies our assertion
that Byron Daniels once wanted the
post office. Byron Daniels also de-
mics it, and further complains that we
are trying to ALLEVIATE the affections of
the post office from him. Under the
weight of this impending affiiction we
are of somewhat inclined to with
draw the assertion, notwithstanding
we have heard this thing repeated
many times. We do not Yish to de-
privs Mr.. Daniels of any affections, as
they are very necessary thing to
have in a political campaign, and he
may need all he claims as his own to
"mingle'' with those who may posi-
bly, sympathize with him after cleo
ton. He has great fear of the lice of
indifference which chills so many
hearts'' and should save all his affec-
tions as the moral warming pan of
which he will then be in need. How
ever, to keep full the list of offices and
office-seeking for which we set him
down, we will just mention what we
forgot before, that Byron Daniels was
one term in the legislature, served 2
terms as county school superintend-
ent, and also applied for Hileman's
place in the land Office. As this apol-
ogy is already long enough we will
leave the balance of the record until
another time.

The Pioneers.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

EDITOR INDEPENDENTS;
My attention has been called to an article
in Mr.. Daniels paper, the Register, of last
week, in relation to the recent meeting
of the pioneers at the fair ground for the
purpose of organizing a pioneer association,
which for downright stupidity and meanness
has never within my knowledge, or the
knowledge of the oldest inhabitant, been
equaled.
1t is just such a case as our old and genial
friend John F. Caples would call ''meanness
boiled down." / was sorry to see it, be-
cause had supposed Mr.. w. Byron Daniels,
who am informed writes the editorials for
the Register, was, if not q kind-hearted and
generous gentleman, at least man enough to
attend to his own business, and not need
lessly and heartlessly abuse and wound the
feelings of people who never did him any
harm, and who do not deserve his abuse.
claim no exemption for the pioneers from
the judgments justly melted out by their
fellows to other men. But hold in simple
phraseology that the men and women who
long years ago parted with their friends and
homes 5000 miles away, for the purpose of
settling up o wilderness, and have endured
the hardships and privations of frontier life
to pave the way for a civilization which we
now enjoy, have ennobled themselves, and
are entitled to our tenderest regards. But
here comes man, cynic-like, with ribald
jests and jeers, and insults these people by
the use of language which no man with
heart in his body as big as peanut would
use.
But who are these men and women who
are the objects of his vile abuse? They
are Judge Columbus Lancaster, David r.
Fales, s. d. Maxon, VIM. H. Dillon, Geo.
w. Jones, VIM. Ginder, John Eddings, s.
Marsh. Jacob and John Proebstel. Chas. and
John Bird, Louis Sohns, G. T. Mcconnell,
Matt Sturgeon, Thos. Nye, Orson Seward,
Col. b. F. Shaw, Geo. J. Tooley, C. r.
Stegert, M. M. Gibbons. A. M. Brown and
their families. and in addition b. F. Preston
and Thos. Merton, lately deceased and
kindly remembered. and their families and
others which we have not space to mention.
And here is what Mr. Daniels has to say
about them and the meeting called for the
purpose Of organizing pioneer association.
Read and blush to think that he's man and
has mother. I quote from Mr.. Daniels
article AZ follows:
''This performance has excellent drawing
qualities and should assure rousing attend
ance. It 1.-THE meeting] should take place on
the grand stand, where everybody can get
an unobstructed view, and in order that it
may be entirely successful, the usual dis
play OF onions should be increased to as
great an extent as the agricultural resources

should be provided for. that excessive ''sor-
rers" over the real and the emotional may
be conveniently drowned in the Aowin'
bowl" 1.-THE ice Of indifference which
chills 90 many hearts, a. evidenced by the
