PICKLED TONGUE-A:good sized tongue
requires to boil at least three hours. It is
a good plan to soak it over night in cold
water. To cook it put it on in cold water
aud let it come to boil. Some cooks
change the water when it is half done; if
this course is taken, be sure that the fresh
water is boiling before the tongue is placed
in it.

IHE FARM.-Belng asked the meaning
of the term ''soiling crops" Western
contemporary says: Probably no more
concise definition is to be given than that
in Webster's dictionary ''5oil-To feed
cattle or horses, in the barn or an inclos-
ure, with fresh grass or green food cut for
them, instead Of sending them out to pas
ture." The practice is very old. and has
had many advocates, not only in Europe
but in our own country. AS long ago as
1919 the distinguished Massachusetts,
statesman JOSIAH Quincy. wrote an essay
advocating it, for the Massachusetts Soce-
~ for promoting Agriculture. Few have
stated the case better than he. He points
out six distinct advant ges from soiling
land, of fencing, of feed; better condition
and greater comfort of cattle; more milk:
more and better manure. He states the
offset to all these advantages is the labor
of raising and cutting the food. and feed.
ing and taking care Of the stock" He
Celebrates most of these points with care
full avoidance of extravaganza opinion !;
pointing out the enormous cost of fences
made necessary by this system; that cattle
destroy grass or make it unpalatable, not
only by eating, but by treading, dunging
and urinating, lying down and by breath
ing on it. He fortified his opinions by
practice, and kept twenty head of cattle
! from May 1st, to September 18th, en- tie
produce OF seventeen acres; whereas he
had before allowed fifty acres for the pas
turing of fifteen head. After this date
second growth of meadws and the tops of
vegetables were used. With all the argu.
ments in Its favor, the practice of soiling
has not met with general favor 1t is the
rarest exception when cows are fed exclu-
siyely by this method, althougs large num-
bers of farmers soil as help to their pas
lures during part or all of the season.
The trouble is that the cost of labor usual
ly eounterbalances all the gain. With
high-prieed lands and food, and low-priced
labor, the system might be profitable. In
the Channel Islands, where these condi-
tions are found in an unusual degree, the
practice of lettering cattle in the fields
has been the nest satisfactory course
we mean betwee ordinary pasturing and
feeding OF cut feed in the yards or stables.

RICE BREAD mas es a pleasing variety
at the breakfas table. Take one pint of
we'll cooked rice, half pint of flour, the
yolks of four eggs, two tablespoonful of
butter melted, one pint of milk and half a
teacupful of salt; beat these all together;
then, lastly add the whites of the four eggs
which you have beaten to stiff froth.
Bake in shallow pans or in gem tins
Serve them warm.

A PHILADELPHIA correspondent
deals forcibly with some Of the causes
operating to Democratic disadvantage
in the recent state elections. OF these he
makes the chief the lack of an ufuen
tial Democratic newspaper in Philadel
phia. He is possibly correct in this,
since 1t is seen that where there are the
best party newspapers in the state
independent within the party lines and
with high principle--there are the best
party organizations. Nevertheless it Is
to be considered that many other causes
operate TO the disadvantage OF party or
ganizations in the larger cities nowadays;
and, with all the Republican and indie
pendent newspapers in Philadelphia, the
Republican party there Is badly shat
tered every now aud then. The desir.
ability aud prospective success Of live
and leading Democratic newspaper in
Philadelphia have long been the subject
OF consideration in the minds of thought
ful Pennsylvania Democrats, but there
are some serious obstacles which have
not yet been taken out OF the way. The
rats once upon q time were unanimously

THE alleged reductions IN the rate Of
internal revenue taxation have not gr"al
ly reduced the amount of surplus reye
nue. from that source and the country
is still confronted with the problem Of
what to do with thehuudred and twenty
or thirty millions OF surplus revenue
raised by unnecessary taxation, which is
now devoted to the payment Of bonds
imperilling the national banks aud
threatening to derange our financial
system. The Democrats say abolish the
needless taxation. Wharton Barker
John Stewart, Gen. Beaver and other
feather. heads favor maintenance Of the
taxation and the continuance OF the
oflicehoders, 10 raise revenue for 4
"diyide among the states. The Slal-
warts, like Quay and the Pitt5burg
Commercial and Lancaster Examiner,
say the endorsement Of Barker's "mODu.
shine" scheme by the last Republican
state convention was merely giving a
rattle to a cross baby, that it was done
to catch the "dudes and cranks,
and that it never was seriously intended
to adopt it as a party policy. That they
are right is evident, from the fact that
the Press, which recently gave its sup
port to the scheme, now seems TO desert
it, and, instead Of favoring ''divi5.uu'
of the surplus, the Press now urges its
abolition by removing the tax on tobac
co and by establishing free trade in
sugar.

TWO rnAusuIrs IN RUSSIA.

\ Young Lady studeat Executed tor SIhIIIsm
Hud Another Commits suicide.
Nih.ism in Russia has resulted in two
more tragedies, both eliminating at st.
Petersburg Thursday, and each having a
woman for its victim. Two women were
hanged, Que by the official eXecutiOner, the
other by her own hand, evidently in full
view Of tho fact that death awaited her in
any case. The official victim was Sofia
WaskgeP5nsEy . young lady student, a
member of the Society Of the Red
Cross ono Of the women arrested at
the time the imperial institute at
Warsaw was discovered TO have
fallen into NihiIism control, and q
sister OF o leading ReyOluti0uist. It is
said that on her trial, which was conducted
with great dispatch and secrecy, it was
shown that, owing 70 Influence obtained
aJ court through the institution being
under the direct patronage Of the empress,
the prisoner had been engaged IN intrigues
with palace Ottlcials having for their ulti.
mate object the assassination of the CZlr.
These statements, in connection with the
developments of the recent trial Of Red
Cross Socialists, which reGulted in the de
pUgtat!Oa Of sixty three Of them TO Siberia,
have caused q profound sensation in the
Russian capital. The execution Of Mile
WaskvePansky took place early in the
morning in the presence only Of officia
pTelators, aud she IS said to have met death
bTaVely.
The suicide was a woman named Ossin
SKY, who had by her vehement eloquenc,
and reckless devotion TO the principles o.
NihIism made herself leader among thu
Terrorists of Little Russia and othel
southern provinces of the empire. ShC
was recently arrested at Kharkov, thu
capital Of the province OF the same name
aud sent TO St Petersburg for trial. Mex
morning she was found dead in her cell
having hanged herself during the night
with a towel to the bars of window jus

for the young men now coming to the

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV, 10. 1898.
A Doubtful Boon.

We fear that the Philadelphia CORES
p0ldent who so confidently declares IN
another column that the Democrats do
not carry Philadelphia because they do
not have Democratic organ there, says
n vast deal more than he can prove. 1t
"a very common idea with which be Is
prepossessed, but 1t has the shadowy
foundation which very common ideas
very often have. If our correspondent
would but have turned his eyes over to
New York and observed that the great
and steadfast Democratic majority in
that city has grown and lived with the
leading journals against 1t and with the
fe,blest aid and comfort from organs, be
must surely have been shaken in his
belief that q Democratic organ was the
Philadelphia Democracys lack. We do
not believe that an organ per SC Is OF any
benefit at all to party, though . news
paper may be of great value to It, 1t
may be q comfort to Democrat to read
journal that defends Democratic
men and deeds, right or wrong,
yet 1t does not make his party
votes; but q discriminating journal,
which is intelligent enough to know
the right when it sees it and independ
ent enough to proclaim it wher
1t knows 1t, cannot fail to command
the ear and convince the reason of the
good citizen Of every party. What q
party wants is to be put in power when
1t is right and what it needs is to be
put out when it is wrong. When it /:
blessed with leaders, orators and organs
which will proclaim this, and let their
party live or die under It, it will be
blessed indeed and may hope for eternal
life.
The Philadelphia Democracy are not
very badly off for newspapers disposed tC
do them Justice they are little less
blessed or cursed with organs than the
Republicans. OF the four morning
journals of chief circulation the Ledger
