Teaching A Bully.

In Dresden. Julian Hawthorne, the
author, is credited with the following
exploit: He had been driven from the
sidewalk many and many a time by the
German officers, till finally one day,
coming over the Elba on one of the
bridges without friend, he vowed that
the next German officer be met should
at least give him half of the sidewalk.
He soon met one, and neither being
willing to give way they walked d.
rectly into one another. Hawthorne
did not bulge; neither would the Ger
man. They glared at each other for
few moments, when the German drew
his sword and attempted to strike Haw-
thorne with the fiat Of the blade. In
twnklihg Hawthorne knocked the
officer down, took his sword away from
him, broke it across his knee and
threw it into the Elbe. The disgrace
of having lost his sword was so great
that the officer never dared mention the
circumstances: so Hawthorne escaped
without fine or punishment.

Rismarck,s Comradeshin.


A good Bismarck anecdote, showing
the Prince to have been a good comrade
from his youth up, is the following:
lin 1888 he entered the Potsdam Bat
TALON of 'Garde Jaeger as n one-year-
old volunteer. and six months later, at
his request, he was transferred to the
Second JaegcrS' at Greifwald. in order
to profit by the lectures in the Agri-
cultural School of Eldcna. One of his
comrades in the battalion was young
man, who at the present day is still
counted among the great landed pro-
prietors of the Province of Pomerania
He then stood in the second rank i'm
mediately behind Bismarck.

contrary. the Jacgers persisted in fire.

storks on the meadows near Greifswald

TO the barracks Bismarck's bind man
brought down bird with bullet.
The officers, although marching Il good
way ahead, heard the report, saw the
stork falling down, ordered the bat
talon to halt, and forthwith began to
examine the guns. Everything was as
it should be in the first rank. The
culprit in the second act began to
tremble all the more for his safety, in
asmuch rs his promotion to Lieuten-
antcy was at stake in case he should
be found out. This Bismarck realized,
and while his friend was on the point
of voluntarily denouncing himself, in
order to clear the rest of the men
from an unjust suspicion, he whispered
to him: Look sharp; take your gun
in the left arm, I'll throw you mine.
No sooner said than done, so quickly

not notice it, and the case of the killed

The Fine Art OF Cooking.

Good cooking is an important ele-
ment in home life and happiness. Many
people think that while girl must go
to school for years to accomplish
knowledge of her own and foreign
languages, and must have masters for
this and that accomplishment, she may
be safely left to pick up an acquaint-
ance with cooking after she has house,
hold of her own. This is a mistake /
myself once had dreadful time trying
to prepare dinner, in the absence of
my faithful Bridget, and / would have
given up Latin, Greek and French that
day to have known when the pota-
toes were done, and to have discov-
cred 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 eve, and
a patient temper One needs, too,
few rules and Trustworthy receipt
book. We have all seen the easy way
in which good cook makes cake.
She losses three or four things togeth
er, gives fiirt of the spice-box, and a
feathery touch or two of her foamy eggs,
pops the pan into the oven, and prestol
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, "Oh, 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 perform the Moonlight Sonata"
after learning two or three scales, and
no beginner with a pencil can paint such
gca-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 indepen-
dent.
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.

A Goat Farm.

A goat dairy farm is conducted on
the Surrey hills. in England. Goats
milk, and butter and cheese made from
it, with goat and kid skins as minor
products, are supplied by the farm. On
this Surrey farm is a herd of 100 milch
goats, and the milk, which is prescribed
by physicians, being comparatively
difficult to obtain, is sold in London at
81 to 80 cents perquart. 1t is preferred
by many for the food of very young
children. English and Swiss cottagers
find the keeping of goats for their milk
profitable business at the prices paid.
The yield is generally very small, but
the goat picks its own living with less
expense to its owner than any other
animal.

Spring Medicine,

Why does everybody take spring med
icine2. For three good reasons, viz: I.
Because one bottle of blood purifier
taken at this season will do more good
than two at any other. III. Because the
blood is in more impure condition than
at any other season. III. Because the
system Is so weakened by this impure
state of the blood that it has not Buffi-
clent vitality to Withstand the debiIita
ting effects Of spring weather. Hence,
by common consent, people seek relief
In medicine. The combination of Hoods
Sarsaparilla comnfends 1t to our judg-
ment as a good spring medicine and
blood purifier. Such things as Sarsa-
parilla, Yellow Dock, Mandrake, &C.,
compounded by competent druggists
like Messrs. Hood 81 Co., warrant us in
suggesting that all In need of a medi-
cine Of this kind give Hoods Sarsa-
parilla a trial.

land Made.
During the war old man Joe Garland,
| uncle of Senator Garland, went down to
his plantation near Red River to spend
few days of quiet, which the broad eX-
panse of field and woodland inspired.
Crows in large numbers had shown such
a persisteney in picking up the corn in
the fields that the OVerseer had TesOTted
to soaking the grain in strychnine wat
er and scattering 1t over the plowed
land. When old man Garland entered
the sitting room 'Of the spacious log
house no one was present. He saw a
bottle on the mantel-piece, and think
ing its contents to be whisky, he turned
IL up and took a couple of swallows be-
fore he could bite it off, when suddenly
the thought flashed across him that he
had swallowed dose of stuff prepared
for the crows. The old man yelled, and
when an old negro woman answed the
alarming summons the old man ex-
claimed:
Great Lord, I've swallowed a quart
OF that internal crow pizen. Get me
some hot water and lObelia, quickP'
The old woman, greatly excited, hur-
riedly prepared the emetic, and the old
man, throwing himself across the bed,
with his mouth prOtruding.Over the rail-
ing, began to heave.
"Oh, Lord, have mercy on me, for Ill
bet hundred dollars I'll be dead in ten
minutesl Gimme some more hot water.

why you want to punish any old fellow

BY this time the oVerseer arrived, and
learned that the old man had drunk
crow poison, turned deathly pale.

to the mantel-piece, looked at the bottle,
turned away and snOTted.

The Overseer approached the old wO-
man stealthily and said: Don't tell him
until get out in the field. That amt
pizsn, it's bottle of soft soap. That's
why the suds boiled out of his mouth
when he drank the hot water"
The OVerseer stole out of the house, and
the old woman turned to the old man

the old man, leaping from the bed and
seizing an old shotgun and darting out
OF the door. The Overseer saw him COM
ing and bounded like deer. The chase
was long and exciting, and night found
the Overseer in the top of a tall tree,
looking down at the old man who in
vain tried to fire a gun that had not
been loaded since the boys went to the
