THE Republican press has already

THE Democratic party proposes to
protect labor in its wages, but it also
proposes to strip Off the Republican
protectionists' pretense of protection
TO labor where its b6unties are mere
bonuses to monopoly, which oppress
labor instead Of protecting, which com-
pei the laborer to pay double price for
most that he uses in his daily life
without enhancing his wages, thus
making him poorer.-[News Journal.

Organs In History.

In the Bible the organ is mentioned
eighteen different times. 1t is, how
ever, obvious that this instrument was
very small, and capable of being car
ried about. Organs are also mention
ed by Pindar five hundred years before
the Christian era. The first mention
we have of an organ, which must have
been a large instrument, is one that is
said to have been given to Charlie
magne, and is reported to have made
"a noise like thunder" The earliest
organ mentioned as having existed in
England was az Westminster abbey,
where there was one in the tenth CEN
tury. The first organ erected in Paris
was at the church of st. SEVERN, in
the year 1858. though they had been
introduced into France as early as the
third century. In the year 1863 the
cathedral church Of Toulouse had five
organs, all on the rood-screen, which
shows that even up to that period the
instruments were generally small.
The earliest organs now existing date
only from the end of the fifteenth or
commencement of the sixteenth CEN
tury. Several in French and German
cathedrals are of this date.

A writer in the Souther7s Farmer
says that his COW gives all the milk
that is wanted in a family of eight, and
that from it, after taking all that is re-
quired for other purposes, 260 pounds
Of butter were made this year. This
is in part his treatment of the cow. If
you desire to get large yield OF rich
milk give your cows every day water
slightly warmed and slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the rate
Of one quart to two gallons of water.
You will find, if you have not tried
this daily practice, that your COW will
give twenty-five per cent. more milk
Immediately under the effects Of it, and
she will become so attached to the diet
as TO refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink almost any time and ask for
more The amount of this drink nee
essary is an ordinary water pail at a
time, morning, noon and night.

Aaron Burr's Pistols.

Some weeks ago the writer ran across
perhaps the most famous and fatal fire.
arms on this continent--the superb
duelling pistols of Aaron Burr. They
are bone-breaking brace Of the first
caliber, and the property OF Captain
Brent Hopkins. One Of these pistols
fred the ball that killed Alexander
Hamilton Of Weehawken. 1t is iden-
tilted by long, deep notch indented on
the handle. The pistols were made by
Mortimer Of London, England, and
were imported by Burr at the close Of
the Revolutionary war. The barrels
are thirteen inches long and carry an
ounce ball. They are flint locks, and
the pans for the priming are lined with
gold, and the touchholes are brushed
with the same metal They are hair
triggers, and shoot with great force
and accuracy. The locks are very
superior and of exquisite mechanism.
The pair came into the possession of
Captain Brent Hopkins, the present
owner, through his uncle, Captain Sam
Goode Hopkins of the forty-second reg
iment of United States dragons, who
purchased them from Burr in Washing
ton city in the winter of 1913 or 1914,
paying $500 in gold for them. Burr
remarked at the time he would not let
any one else have the pistols, as he had
used them with Hamilton.
The weapons have surely a blood
stained history. They have been used
with falal effect in eleven duels.
Among the sanguinary combats, Pettis
of Virginia, killed Biddle on Bloody
Island, near st. Louis Edward Towns
of Virginia, killed Frenchman near
New Orleans; Captain Sam Goode
Hopkins, killed Spanish count near
Madrid, Mo. (; Hugh Brent killed man
from Georgia on Diamond island near
Henderson, KY. They were used sew
eral times in Virginia twice in South
Carolina, and more than once in Ken
lucky with deadly effect. Robert Trip
lett of Owensboro shot the old lawyer,
Phil Thompson, through and through
with one of them, but, strange to say,
Thompson recovered, and grew as fat
as bear. Henry Clay and Capt. Hop
kins were fast friends, and the former
was to have used the pistols in one of
his duels, but they arrived day too
late.

Give Chickens Range.

Young chicks will do. much better
with liberty than without it. Sitting
hens are very liable to be more or less
infested with lice. These, of course,
will cover the chickens almost as soon
as hatched, unless great care is taken
TO clear them out. Given large
brood, with hens confined in small
coop, and the chances are greatly
against the chickens.
Moving the coop daily helps the
matter greatly, as when the coop re-
mains long on the same ground the
vermin viii! infest that also, and swarm
over the chicks at night,
| If possible, give the hen free run
about the grounds; but if your inclo-
sure is limited, give her as much as
possible. The feed you give young
chicks is all needed by them for their
rapid growth, but if they are obliged

growth will be slow and liability to
disease augmented.
II your garden plot is inclosed, put
your coops up near the fence, so that
the young chicks will naturally run
through the small openings, and they
will wage busy warfare on the in
Beets which would do great damage if
left to themselves in that garden. The
old hen getting worried about their
absence, or hearing the commotion as
they run down some nimble-winged
butterfly or cabbage miller, will call
them to her coop often enough to keep
quite large chicks from doing any real
damage to the vegetables. Keep the
hens confined and let the chicks roam,
for remember it is "the old scratch"
that does the mischief. Fowls are ac-
tive and willing workers but you must
place them in the position where they
can be most serviceable in destroying
insects and Larvae. Misdirected energy
is productive Of quite as much evil as
lack Of force.-Pouztry World.

Receipts.

Tomato Souce.-A quart of toma-
toes, a slice of onion and half dozen
cloves. Cook ten minutes. Put into
frying pan two spoonfuls of butter
heat and stir in two spoonfuls of -four.
Stir until smooth and brown. Add
the tomato, cook two minutes longer,
season with salt and pepper and pass
tRFaugh a fine strainer. Excellent
with roast or broiled meat.
6atet Prtdd5ng.-Chop fine one cup
Of raisins and one-half cup of suet
Zone cup, if wanted very rich), add
two cups of sweet milk, one cup of
sugar, four cups of -four, one tea
spoonful of cream of tartar, two tea
spbonfuls of soda, and a little salt.
Cover tightly and steam or boil two
hours. Leave room to swell Pork
chopped very fine, or little less in
measure of pork fat, may be used. Eat
with liquid sauce.
Steaoed Veal.-Stewed veal need not
be the tasteless dish it often is, says the
New York Post. Cook it in as little
water as will possibly answer, and with
it stew few thin slices Of ham or ba-
con. Nicely-cured bacon is one of the
Iuxuries of modern civilization. Science
has conferred lasting benefit upon
the world by teaching the farmer to
feed his pigs in such way that the
result may be traced in slices of fine
grained fat with little strips of lean.
This is the kind of bacon one should
look for when marketing.
Fish Sauce-A good fish sauce is
made of half cup of vinegar, half a
cup of water, the yelks of one or two
eggs, tablespoonful of butter, third
of tea-spoonful of ground mustard,
and half a tea-spoonful of cornstarch,
little sugar, pepper and salt. Stir
the Jumps from the mustard and corn
starch when mixed with the vinegar,
beat it gradually. and let it boil for
about one minute. This may be used
cold, on canned salmon or lobster; it
will need little more vinegar in that
case to thin it. 1t may also be used in
