1t was good match, as her grandmother
said. And 50 it came to pass that there
was wedding one day at Mrs. Scrolls
boarding house, and that afterwards Linda
ard her grandmother went home to the
old house, where Tommy waited for their
coming.
Mrs. Posset gave warning. She could
not keep house for former nurse-maid,
she declared. But no hOusekeeper was
needed, and what Grandma Penfeather
said mattered little to young Mrs. Bel
lamy.
She is very happy, and so is the old
grandmother, whom Tommy adores; while
Mr.. Bellamy admits to himself that
though his sainted first wife was adorable,
his second one is simply perfection, and
has the advantage of sweet temper and
not nerves.

OLIVE OIL VS.. COTrON-SEED OIL
While SO much il being written about
food adulteration, how happens it that the
salad oil furnished US at 81 bottle, which
is nothing more or less than cotton-seed
oil, is passed by? Is the use of cotton
seed oil 10 quietly accepted because it is
considered pure and healthy No one
questions that it is pure cotton-seed oil or
would deny that castor oil is pure. yet no
one would fancy dressing his lettuce or his
lobster with the latter, or venture to con-
tradict the opinion of chemists aud physi-
clans that the use of the former as an ar
ticle of diet brings on Q chronic disease of
the intestines and is consequently UNI
healty. A little glucose in sugar is a
fraud to be sure, because it is sugar
with less saccharine juice in it than the
product Of the sugar cane, but it does no
harm, except to the purchasers pockets;
neither does the Georgia clay SO generally
mixed with pulverized sugar do any great
harm, or the plaster Of paris found in fine
table salt. or even 0leomargerine, IL it is
made of pure animal fat, but to have cot
ten-seed oil foisted on one Is one of those
things not to be tolerated. Olive oil 10
clear. and of pale green color. In does
not CONCEAL and look like lard in cold
weather. It does not stick to the teeth
and palate. Cotton-ssed oil is yellow and
not clear In cold weather it thickens in
the bottle and looks like lard. 1t sticks
to ones teeth and gums and palate. 1t is
well.kDown fact that thousands of tons of
cotton-seed are exported every year to be
pressed, clarified, and bottled abroad to be
returned to the American market as pure
olive oil.

Inside a Base Ball.

HOW THE POPULAR TOY IS MADE FIRST
TO BOUNCE AND THEN NOT TO BOUNCE
TOO MUCH.
In all the toy, game, and sporting goods
stores the new supply Of balls for the game
of baseball has been laid in, and the balls,
lying in pasteboard compartments and
rolled up in tinfoil, or having their cover
ings colored red or blue, are AZ pretty a.
SO many Easter eggs. The frst-class regu-
lation ball for this year ID not different
from that in use last year. It cost 81, so.
and sells at Wholesale at the rate Of SIS q
dozen. It weighs about five ounces, and
when thrown on board floor sounds like
a young paving stone. 1t is just about as
solid and as heavy as turnip of the same
size, and though it Is perfectly round and
smooth, and the stitches are almost even
with the leather, it stings the uncalloused
hand of it's catcher as If it were were red
hot or covered with the prickers.
Base-balls are dear because they are
made by hand, and they are made by hand
because they must be wound very tightly.
carefully and evenly. The basis of each
one is little lump OF Para rubber, round
and weighing an ounce. Wound around
this in every direction is worsted yarn. In
some balls, after thick layer of yarn 10
wound on, the ball is dipped In rubber,
then more yarn is wound on; then it is
dipped again. and finally yet more is wound
on and then the cover is fitted over it. One
ball affected by many professionals has
thin skin of concrete midway between the
cover and the rubber. Girls make all the
balls. The process is something like that
of certain mixed drinks, wherein the bar
tender puts In lemon to make them sour
and sugar to make them sweet. Players
want what is called dead ball, that ID,
one that won't bounce much. A stone will
bounce more than base. ball ought to. So
the rubber is put in to make 1t bounce Just
little, and the yarn is wound tight and
concrete is added to stop it bouncing at
all. Thus the happy medium is reached.
Sometimes, moulded vulcanized rubber is
used.
The best balls are covered with horse
skin, because it is strong and tough. Many
of these are sewed with catgut, but in
damp weather the catgut loosens, and
therefore at such times those balls are
used which are stitched with FAX.
Professionals have agreed upon the best
form of ball and have ruled that it shall
accord with these specifications
The ball must weigh not less than five

canized rubber in mould form, and shall

" Auf Wiedersehen.'

Until we meet again! That is the meaning
OF the familiar words, that men repeat
At parting in the street.
All, yes, till then! but when death intervening
Rends US asunder with what ceaseless pain
We wait for the Again!
The friends who leave US do not feel the sorrow
Of parting. as we feel it, who must stay
Lamenting day by day,
And knowing. when we wake upon the morrow,
We shall not find in its accustomed place
The one beloved face.
1t were double grief, If the departed,
Being released from earth, should still retain
A sense Of earthly pain;
1t were double grief If the true-hearted.
Who loved us here should on the farther shore
Remember us no more.
Believing, in the midst of our Affections,
That death is beginning, not an end.
We cry to them, and send
Farewells, that better might be called pre- diction
Being fore shadowing of the future, thrown
Into the vast Unknown.
Faith overleaps the confines of our reason,
And if by faith, as in old times was said.
Women received their dead
Raised up to life, then only for season
Our partings are, nor shall we wait in vain
Until we meet again!

DIET FOR INvALIDs.-A fowl can first
be served freshly roasted or boiled. For
the next day leg or wing can be warmed
up for the invalid, with some nicely pre-
pared potato snow. and spinach or cauli-
flower. The breast and merrythought are
best eaten cold. The scraps of mince from
the CARCASS should be very finely minced
almost to powder, in fact, and made into
croa uettes. or scallopped in French white
china shells. All the bones must be care
fully stewed down for many hours, in very
little water, and some excellent chicken
broth will be obtained, which will. when
cold. be quite jelly. 1t requires flavor
ing with scrap of very thiniy cut lemon
peel, and some sweet herbs tied In piece
of muslin. This can either DO eaten as
cold savory jelly or melted down. Either
way IL nourishing. and extremely nice.
Beef essence should be made in the oven.

Congress and the Land Grants.

The House of Representatives at
Washington has lnaugurated policy
on the land grant question which de-
serves to be commended. II adopted on
Monday a series of resolutions declar-
ing that unearned land grants hereto
fore given to railways should De for
feited at once and the land opened to
actual settlers under the homestead
law. The resolutions further declare
that all laws which facilitate the ac-
quiring of lands in large bodies by pre-
emption or otherwise should be repeal
ed. In order to make sure that the res
oiutiOns are not mere sentences, mean
ing nothing, the committee on public
lands is instructed to prepare bills car
rying into effect the views expire. sed in
the resolution and to report the bills
80 prepared at any time, subject only to
revenue and appropriation bills. This
virtually gives the land legislation the
right of way in the House and prevents
it being buried under a mass of other
business. AS the resolutions passed by
a vote of 258 cas- to Is nays it is easy
to see what the fate of the land grants
will be when the bills are reported.
The recklessness of past Congresses
in the matter of giving away the pub
lie domain to importunate railway
corporations is simply amazing. A re-
cent statement OF the land grant busi-
ness now before the committee on pub
lie lands shows the various fOrfeitable
grants to amount to 10G 1000, 900 acres,
an area great enough to make three
states as large as Pennsylvania and Il
fourth larger than Massachusetts. 1t
is entirely superfuous to say that no
such grants should ever be made ia the
first place. Having been made, how
ever. they should be restored to their
original status at the first possible OPP
portnnity. The land should be reserv-
ed for actual settlers who desire to
make honest homes for themselves and
families and not be permitted to be-
come the possession of clique of rail
way magnates, whose pockets are a.
ready sweiled to bursting with unearn-
ed wealth. -1fa@.

e. HARPER JEFFRIES DEAD.

Country Controller f. Harper Jetfries
of Philadelphia died at his home, 379l
Spring Garpen street, at o. 40 O'Clock
on the 2lst inst, of pleuro-pneumonia.
His death occurred just two weeks af-
ter taking his seat as Controller, lie
haYing assumed the duties of that Office
on Monday, January Z, between the
hours of 8 and 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. lie went home sick about the
same hour on Monday Of last week and
never left the house again. The cause
of his fatal illness was a severe cold,
contracted in the latter part Of his first
week in the Controllers office. 4 great
many friends had been calling to con-
gratulate him and he had ordered the
double doors leading into the main cor
ridor to he opened for their better ac-
commodation. Whenever the doors
were opened draft blew through Mr..
Jeffrie's private office, and 1t was while
standing at the door one day, talking to
a departing friend, that he caught the
severe cold that subsequently developed
into his death sickness. He remained
at his Office for several days, attending
to his duties, though suffering from
what he thought was an attack of in.
fuenza. On Monday morning he went
to his office, but felt 50 badly that he
returned home. For several days his
condition was not considered dangerous
by the outside world, although since
Friday his physicians regarded his con-
dition as, serious, entertaining little
hope for his recovery.

THE st. Paul Pioneer Press, pa
per of influence and ability recognized
as authority in the West regards the
business prospect much brighter now
than it was toward the end of 1888.
Among the Western papers which pay
special attention to this matter there
is none, perhaps, better informed than
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, and it
says, in a late number, that THE
most encouraging fact disclosed by
multitude of business reviews and
prophecies is the rapidity with which
the commercial community has re-
ceived and assimilated the great fun
damental law of trade, that activity
and depression are bound to succeed
each other in every recurring cycles;
that business men more than year
ago accepted the warning that they
had been going too fast; that for this
they prepared themselves, and that
such preparation saved crash" AT
ter q careful review of all the condi-
tions it concluded that, while we may
not be on the eve of general and
speedy revival of business activity, it
seems certain "that there is nothing
unhealthy even in the experience of
last years failure and that the present
outlook has far more of promise than
of threatening" In the East, too,
the same opinion is expressed, for the
Boston Globe remarks that careful,
conservative and experienced business
men all admire the outlook as much
brighter than it was few weeks ago,
and that there is a growing feeling
that the worst is over.'

Democratic Warning from
Nebraska.

| am glad to see signs of moder-
alton and caution in the position of
Mr.. Carlisle against the possibility
either of alarming or injuring great
interests. No other course, in my O.
pinion, can save our party from de-
feat in 1884. But with the Ohio
declaration of the sound principle at
bottom and ofitsprudent and gradual
incorporation into our tariff taxes, we
can win the next contest aud a grand
victory. for the people, and also for the
manufacturing industry itself Ne
braska should speak on that subject
this winter with a voice of wisdom
and prudence through the ten dele
gates which it will be her duty to
send to the next National Democratic
Convention to assist other States in
upholding the principle of taxing for
revenue through the tariff, and also
in reassuring the country that no
revolutionary or yioleut assault is to
be made upon any industrial interest.
In no other way can the Democrats
expect to carry the great manufactur-
ing State of New York, which is to be
again pivotal in the impending strug-
gle of '84.-From Omaha Herald.

THE Philadelphia Times speaks thus
highly Of the principal Democratic city
nominations:
The Democrats Indorse the
People.

The several Democratic City Conven-
tions broadly and cordially indorsed
the clearly indicated sentiment of the
people in nominating the following
ticket:
Mayor-SAMUEL G.. KING.
Receiverof taXes-JoUN HUNTER.
City Solicitor-FURMAN SHEPPARD.
The Republican Convention reflected
the insolent hoodlum element of the
party; treated with open disrespect the
intelligent convictions of the Republic
an people, and the best of the candi-
dates has already retired from the con-
test TO escape defeat, while the others
are trembling in the presence of disas-
ter in the face of large party majorityN
The Democrats have profited by the
blunderS of their opponents; have en-
phaSi2ed their respect for public senti-
ment; have taken the best men named
for the responsible offices TO be nlled,
regardless of their politicalco nyicitOns,
and have brought the Democratic on
ganiZation fairly and broadly up tothe
standard of honest government in mum
icipal affairs.
