the new style rolling pins didn't have lids, as they were made with an open front.
 Miss Hattie D. said that she had been a member sf club once, and the incest cake the club ever made had been bought al the bakers. Miss Sallie w. wanted to know if she brought skillet, had she better get a brass or copper one, as the brass one might make the bread green and poison ous.
 Miss Virginia K. wanted to know fl they made pie crust thin with fiat iron because if they did, she thought she could get an iron from the laundry with out any trouble. Miss Estelle l.. said if griddle cakes were made in layers, she could make a nice one. for she had taken lessons in making layer cake.
 Miss Kate NJ. wanted to know if they made corn muffins the same way they made corn beef, and how much soda went to the pound of flour. Miss Mollie (. said if they had to wash the potatoes with strong rosin soap she wouldn't belong, because she wasn't go- ing to spoil her hands.
 Miss Ca,harinc V said that poor folks might wash them with rosin soap, but the best families only use the finest toilet article.
 Miss Winnie ]. was requested 10 cock beefsieak, and she asked if it should be put in boiling water, or in cold water and brought to boil slowly.
 Miss Fannie F. wanted to know If they washed eggs, or put them in the oven right out of the nest.
 Miss Sadie Nj. asked if they fried cof- fee or broiled it.
 Miss Zerelda E. thought that coffee was better if stewed over slow fire.
 Miss Agnes N. asked if in making a drawing of tea they used oil or water colors
 Miss Mary S. said she wasn't certain, but she thought they used crayons.
 Miss Madge D. asked if hens laid but ter in the winter time, because if they didn't. the girls couldn't afford to start the club. if the prices of everything was going to be too high.
 Thus the informal talk ran on. and when the supper bell rang, the meeting adjourned until the following week. when active measures would be taken toward permanent organization. The young ladies appeared very well pleased with the intelligence displayed, and are in high hopes of being ready to invite their gentlemen friends to a feast along in strawberry time.

Cincinnati Cooking Club.
The Drummer.i

The young ladies of an ultra fashion able quarter of Cincinnati have organ ized. or rather made start at organizing, a cooking club, but from reports of the first meeting which we have received, we have some doubts as to its successful ac- complishment. On the day set for the meeting all the young women interested turned out in force and their good clothes, and some twenty or more were present. No regular order of exercises was adopted, but an informal talk took place just to test the sense of the meet ing.
 Miss Daisy H. said that as she under stood it, the object was to establish a club in which they could all learn to cook good plain dishes.
 Miss Clara D. said she didn't know that 1t was necessary to cook the dishes. She wasn't certain, however, because she had never been in the kitchen to see just how meal was prepared. She did re- member, though, that the dishes were always hot when they were brought in, which was no doubt the result ot cook ing.
 Miss Mary (. was told she would have to bring rolling pin to the next meet ing, and vesy innocently inquired if they wanted one with lids on or not.
 This raised . little laugh, which vas subdued by Miss Fannie R. saying that

Kentucky State Journal.
 A few days ago couple of Cincinnati ladies called on our Herr Hans Wager for the purpose of getting him to subscribe for the benefit of the heathen Chinee. After gaining access to the living room ithe dead room being in the graveyardl and seating themselves, Hans standing up and looking wonderingly at the two asked:
 Il belief you vas some more book-pcd- dlin' agents vimmens, ain't ii?"
 '.No, said one: "we come on quite a differen, mission" kind of fearing to make the attack.
 Was dot SO? dought meppy you gome on der de schdreed gar"
 Our mission is one of sweet char ity and love. We come to get you to subscribe to the China missionary fund i T nefer heard aloud him before. Who vas him!'
 "The object of our society is to collec, funds sufficient to send the Rev. Mir Skedally to China to convert the heather Chinese"

 'He is not engaged anywhere just al present but it is hoped the Lord will call him 10 that land of the heather to save souls."
 "Ugh! He vas out of job, eh?
 Just at present, sir"
 What vas der madder init dem fellers oud dere in Schinaland ?"
 "They are heathens. They don't know God. They never heard of Him. and the object is to send a minister there to teach them who God is and thus save their souisa
 ''I dinks 1t vas better ouf dey don'd go, acquainted init Gott; den dey couldn', swear by Gott' und 'Gott tam like dey do in dis gounty."
 The first lady speaker here stopped and slid glance at her partner which meant as much as, You try him awhile. " And she began as to-wit:
 "Do you not know, my dear sir, that all who do not know God will be lost v
 .'Ouf you don't know Got,, und don'd know his laws, how you got lost :''
 "The Rev. MT. Skedally Is most eN- emplary Christian and would bring many souls 10 God in the land of the heather.

 'Now you've got it; just so. see you are beginning to understand us,' the speaker said, cheering up with hope. when MT. Wager put in:

It is said that King William of Ger many wrote poetry when he was young. We never read any of Williams poetry, unless he wrote Beautiful Snow,r and the chances are that he did-not The fact that William culminated into a king, and is not compelled to wear boiler-iron clothing for the benefit of his health, would seem to indicAte that if he wrote poetry in his youthful days, he had the good sense not b puhlishit.

Shouting for Subsidies.

Mt. John Roach has been testifying
before the senate committee on educa-
ton and labor, and, rs usual, is for the
old flag and = subsidy. ''Ships." says
MIR. Roach, "are necessary, If the ship
ping interest cannot support itself the
government should do So" That is TO
say if Mr.. Roach cannot make that per-
centage of profit which he deems neces-
sary to the advancement of his material
wealth then the people, who form the
government, should submit 10 that
amount of taxation which viii bring
about the reduction of the difference be-
tween the ship builders receipts ana his
wishes. The theory is plausible, but il
has not the merit of originality. 1t has
been stated many times previously and
much more forcibly by the French CON-
munists.
Mr.. Roach admits thai before the war
American ship-builders were the rivals
OF England; he admits that American
ships dotted the seas In all parts of the
world, and drove English bottoms to
the wall, but the gentleman fails to see
that he is admitting too much. Dur
ing this fiowery time of American ship
building such thing as subsidy was
unknown, and he would have been a
rash man indeed who limited at any,

1t is limited that Gov. Butler, of Massa-

thing of the kind. The secret of the
present need, says Mr. Roach, is the high
price of American labor, which forms
ninety-five per cent. of the cost of ves-
sci. Yet the gentleman must be aware
that the relative difference between
American and foreign labor in ship
building lines has not undergone any
appreciable change in the past twenty
years. The taxes imposed upon Ameri-
can shipping, again says Mr.. Roach,
have paid the nations debts, brought
its currency to par and built the vessels
now engaged in destroying the shipping
of the nation. This to say the least is
doing pretty well for marine which
is noted mainly for its invisibility and
would appear to necessiate a liberal ex-
PLANTATION on the part of the claimant
for a subsidy. But explanations do not
appear to be in his line. As if to in
yolve himself still more in the labyrinth
of enigmatical statement Mr.. Roach
asserts that the iron ship of to-day is
built cheaper than the wooden ship Of
of 1858. Yet on his own admission,
backed further by facts so well known
that the veriest school boy is not unac-
quainted with them, it is shown that
American ships ruled the seas at the
date mentioned. If then iron ships OF
to-day can be built cheaper than wooden
ships of thirty years ago, and the profit
on the former was so great that ship
building yards stretched from Maine to
Florida, how is it that Mr.. Roach has
need of a subsidy in order to enable
him to continue in business, unless on
the supposition that such subsidy is a
present made by the people of the United
States to that gentleman for continu-
ing in business. 1t is doubtful whether
the people will consider the honor equal
to the outlay. The great majority will
probably incline to the opinion that il
Mr.. Roach's dividends in his present
business are not satisfactory, the sooner
he effects q change to something else
the better. In the meanwhile they will
doubtless decline to assist tho gentle
man in any such manner as he indicates
and it will be we'll for their representa-
tives to consider well before they lend
themselves to any scheme of the kind.
