HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

A fruit-grower says II is n good
plan TO trim trees high and pasture
orchards with sheep. He prefers 1t to
blowing or mulching.
If straw hat has been wet, and the
stiffness has departed, rub little white
of cgr mixed with cold water over 1t;
nut il on with a flannel cloth.-N L. PoSt.
A writer in Gardening illustrated
uses thin gutta-percha in his grating
operations. Pieces about two inches
SQUARE are put in hot water and placed
around the graft. He likes it better
than the common mixture for the pur-
pose.
Walnut Cake: One cup of powdered
sugar. one-half cup of butter, one-half
cup of sweet milk, two eggs, well beaten,
one tcaspoonful of baking powder, one
and one-half cups of flour, one-half cup
of walnut meats, and little salt.-The
Household.
1t is said that one of the best ways
of preparing cut flowers to send to a
distance is to cut Sits in potatoes and
insert the flower stems, taking care that
they are firmly fastened in and sup
ported by little cotton or paper. Po-
tatocs may he used in the same way in
floral decorations by concealing them
under leaves and fiowers.-M !. EC,
aDliRer.
To Cure Sites: With fine camel-hair
pencil paint the inflamcd papilla with
n tinciiIre of iodine. The lids should be
held apart bv the thumb and index
finger of the left hand while the tincture
is applied and until the part touched is
dry. A few applications in the twenty
four hours is sufficient. This treatment
has been used with success by writer
in the London Lancet.
Peter Henderson says the best Shad-
inc he has ever used for the glass in
greenhouses or hotbcds is naptha, mixed
with a little white lead, so as to give it
the appearance of thin milk. This can
be put on the glass with a syringe, very
quicklv. at a cost not exceeding twenty
five cents per one thousand square feet.
1t holds on the entire season until looS-
cncd by the fall frosts.-Ch Chicago Jour-
nal.
Dreaded Eggs: Boil hard and cut in
thick round slices. Pepper and salt;
dip each in beaten raw egg, then in fine
bread-crumbs or powdered cracker, and
fry in nice dripping or butter, very hot.
Drain off every drop of grease, and serve
on a hot dish. Have ready some veal
gravy or chicken broth, heat TO boiling
in saucepan with little chopped
parsley, salt, pepper, and three table
spoonfuls of cream to cup of broth.
Boil up and pour smoking hot over the
eggs, serving for the table in covered
dish. boston Transcript
The odor of flowers sometimes
comes from the petals, as, for instance,
from the petals of the rose. The petals
or floral leaves of the rose give out an
odor long after they have been gathered.
This is not the case with most flowers.
A recent writer has called attention to
the fact that the sweetest carnation is
odorless soon after it is cut, as are most
of the sweet flowers used in cut flower
work. The mignOnette and heliotrope
were supposed to be exceptions, but as
these continue to open new flowers
when cut and placed in water, it is
probable the odor comes only from the
opening blossoms. ~ \. independent.

RUNNING A BLOCKADE.
How a Yankee Schooner Did 1t Seventy
Years Ago.

How Yankee Schooner Did 1t Seventy
Years Ago.
During the summer of 1914 the Brit
ish took possession of all that part of the
State of Maine living east of the PenOb-
scot, and claimed il as part of their
lawful territory. They established a
sort of naval headquarters at Castine, and
from thence sent out their cruisers.
Upon the Kennebec River at that time
We're many thriving towns, and quite a
number of Yankee privateers were fit
ted out there. Several sailed from Bath,
and even as high up as Hallowcll were
fitted and manned some of these trouble
some little craft. In consequence of all
this the British turned their attention to
this latter river, and established a
blockade at its mouth. They knew that
some privateers 1ere being fitted out
somewhere up the stream, and they
We're determined to take them if they
came out.
And there was another thing which
the enemy had in view in this blockade
There was fort up the river short
distance, and also several military store
houses; and they (the British) had
were expected from Boston or Salem for
these places. SO they meant to kill two
birds with one stone: They would pre-
vent the privateers from coming out,
and also prevent the stores from
going in.
Many still living. who resided upon
the kennebec during that war, remem-
Der well the season of that blockade
They depended for much of their pro-
visions upon the coasters which came
from Massachusetts; and Low that the
small vessels were prevented from COM
ing in they suffered much. In Hallow-
well, Waterville, Gardiner and other
places, provisions were so scarce that
many people who were considered well
off in ordinary times lived upon the
swill-gatherings of the more wealthy;
and silver dollar worth of meal could
be carried away in a common pocket
handkerchief. The suffering was great.
The people knew that there were sew
eral vessels anxious to get in, but the
British war-brig at the rivers mouth
prevented them.
Among the vessels which were ex-
pected at Hallowell was heavy schooner
named the Polly Ann. She was owned
and commanded by man named Eber
Wait. Also another schooner called the
Eliza, which belonged to Abner Jen-
kins.
The Polly Ann and the Eliza botf

A LudicrOus Blunder.

Readers of newspapers are sometimes
amused at ludicrOus blunder,
which the proof-reader has failed to
correct. But few, however, have ever
laughed as heartily over an accidental
muddling as did the Parisians one morn
ing during the reign of Louis Philippe.
The morning after the day on which
a ministerial crisis had occurred, and
NJ. Theirs had been sent for, there APP,
peared in the Constitutional the follow
ing startling paragraph:

A few lines lower down there was an
other paragraph to the following effect:
The efforts of justice are promptly
crowned with success. The murderer
of the Rue du Pot-de-fer has been az
rested. Led at once before the Judge
of Instruction, the wretch had the har-
dihood to address that magistrate in
terms of coarse insult, winding up with
the following words:
"'God and man are my witnesses that
l have never had any other ambition
than to serve your august person and my
country Loyalty to the best of my abil-
ity.'"
The printer had interchanged the adj
dresses. But the joke was that all Paris

He Kicked Against tho Dog Tax.

A curious incident happened in the collect
ors office on Thursday. The investigations
into the matter Of unlicensed Gogs by the police
has resulted in record of every one who
keeps a dog and the practice now is, when
making out the bill for taxes to add the dog
tax where the party is liable.
Ono of tho earl lest visitors to the assessors
Office, after asking for his bill, was questioned
by the clerk:
"You have dog, haven't your
eyes two of them," was the reply, not
suspecting why tho question was asked.
When he received his bill he rushed round
into the collectors office with the money in
his hand TO pay the taxes on his property, but
on looking at his bill was surprised to find an
additional 81 for two dogs He violently
protested against this; said he would pay his
real estate tax. but he'd be-blessed if he
would pay the dog tax.
Collector Cook said the bill could not be
receipted without the full amount oftaX called
for, and he wedged his way out of the crowd
swearing and fuming. As he got to the door
he discovered that u 500 bill which he had in
his hand had been dropped or abstracted
during his excitement At any rate he didn't
find the bill; so he was $50 out, beside being
compelled to pay his dog tax.

= A we'll attended coalition ,rneeting was
held at Johnsons hall, near Arlington post
office, Va, last night Addresses were made
by Con, Green h. Raum aud Mcssrs. Hawk
hurst and Reeves, candidates respectively
for senator and member of house of delegates.
The hall was packod the larger portion of
those present being colorcd mon.
Con. Raum spoke for moro than an hour.
He compared tho two parties and their re.
spective records, showing what tho bourbons
had not done for the state and its people, and
what the coalitonists had done for every
man, woman, aud child in the state, regard
less of color or condition. The misgovern-
ment of the bourboDs had reduced the public
schools in every way, depleted tho state
treasury, prevented fair elections. raised the
taxes, and in many other ways injured the
credit of the state, On the other hand,
the read listers had placed the schools upon
n level with those of other states, replenished
the treasury, purified the ballot, cut down
expenses, lowered the taxes, and done every
thing that is possible to restore prosperity to
the people. Tho speaker asked his hearers,
and through them the coaltionists of Vir-
ginia, whether they intended to mako it
possible for their present prosperity to con.
tnue, or would they return to the old days
of bourbonism? He was answered by q
perfect storm of noes. The general sub
stantnted all he said from authenticated
records. which he had at hand and read In
conclusion, he called upon the coalitionists
to buckle on their armor and Go strike for
justice and equality for Virginia on Tuesday
next, and thereby make it possible for her to
wheel into line in 1854, Tho generals words
were received with cheers.
