A Visit to King John.

King John of Abyssinia has no mean
opinion of his dignity as a monarch and
evidently desires to impress the others
with his greatness. The London Chris
tdGn World thus describes the visit recent
ly paid the king by the English repre-
sentative: Sin order to conciIiate the
King of Abyssinia and get his help in
our Egyptian muddle, Admiral Hewitt
and some of his officers have paid a
visit to that monarch. After having
waited his pleasure for five monotonous
weeks IN he Valleg of Adowa, they were
at length able to see him in his mud
palace. Two seven-pounder guns they
had taken to present to him were fred

growth than the same quantity Of corn,
even If the farmer had the latter IN has
crib, which in August and September i
often not the fact.
Sweet corn is the most important Of
all garden vegetables, and take similar
place with US to that of peas in England.
There is no vegetable more affected by a
change of climate; the cultivation fo1
two or three generations a few hundred
miles either north or south produces
changes equal to a new variety; change
of soil affects greatly, of course, the IN
dividual plant, but it does not seem to
affect the tendency of the variety. Peas.
on the other hand, are easily modified
by soil and not BY climate.
Where binder is used it is common to
have one man set the bundles in shocks,
but if the grain is heavy this makes very
lively work, and it is better to employ
two, as the work can be done to better
advantage. With common reaper four
or FIVE men are needed to keep up, &C
cording to the heaviness of the wheat.
Oats are not usually bound the same day
they are cut. and one or two or three men
can follow reaper, keeping as near to ii
as they can and setting up towards night
every day to protect the grain from injury
by rain.
Although the outside rows of corn are
more or lessinjured by tramping in turning
at the ends. farmers often find at harvest
that the corn is as good, or better, than
in the field. This shows that the plants
need more sunlight. Probably as good
q way as any in planting coan and pota-
toes in field is to alternate, putting five
or ten rows of corn together through the
field alternately with five or ten of pota-
toes. Five rows of corn are usually cut
through field at time, and in digging
potatoes four or eight are usually dug SO
as to allow the wagon to be driven
through TO gather most conveniently.

Recipes.

YOUNG ONION SoUP-Peel and blanch
your. onions carefully; cook them in lit
tie fresh butter until good brown color.
put them into your stock with pinch of
black pepper; when boiling clear the
soup of all grease and pour into the soup
tureen over slices OF fried bread.
INDIAN MEAL CAKE-Sift one pint of
cornmeal and one half pint wheat flour.
into which first put teaspOonful baking
powder, and small spoonful salt; one
grated nutmeg; one teaspoonful ground
cinnamon; put three-quarters of pound
granuated sugar and one-half a pound
butter together Beat eight eggs very
light, and add to the butter and
sugar, alternately, with the meal-little
at a time-and one-half cup of milk, and
have dish or pan we'll buttered; bake in
moderate oven.
CUCUMBER PIcKLE--A new way to make
cucumber pickle is to CRATE the cucum-
bers before putting them in the vinegar.
Take three dozen good-sized cucumbers
and six small white onions; after grating
sprinkle pepper and salt to your taste
over them. Heat enough cider vinegar
to cover them and pour over. Put In
large mouth bottles and pour melted wax
over the cork. If freshly gathered GU
cumbers are sliced and laid in salted
water for an hour or two before serving
their who,esomeness is much improved.
The salt seems to draw out, as it does
with the egg plant, some acrid juices.
Ox-TAIL STEwED-Cut an ox-tail in
joints, put it over the fire in quart of
cold water, with tablespoonful of salt,
and boil it slowly for fifteen minutes;
then drain it and dry it on clean cloth,
roll it in -four seasoned with salt and pep
per and put it over the fire to brown in a
saucepan, with two tablespoonfuls of hot
butter; while it is boiling peel quart of
potatoes and cut them in quartersl when
the ox-tail is brown put in the potatoes
and sufficient boiling water to cover them,
season the sauce thus made with salt and
pepper, stir it until the -four is smoothly
mixed with it, and then cover the sauce
pan and cook the ox-tail slowly until it
is tender; then serve it hot; care must be
taken that the sauce does not evaporate
SO much that there is danger of burning !;
more boiling water must be added, if
necessary, to prevent the burning.

Disease and Filth.

Whether infectious epidemics are di-
rcctly due to vegetable germs, or to vari-
ousinorganic poisonS, they depend largely
on bad sanitary conditions. Facts of
constant occurrence prove this.
The cholera which, some over half a
century ago, started from the unutterable
filth of India-its native home-and,
following the track of trade and COM
merce, swept around the shores of the
Caspian sea, into Russia, and thence into
England. and, in 1882, sped from nation
to nation in Europe, and thence the same
year to our own land. everywhere sought
out and riotcd in filth. No spot was so
signal an illustration of this as New Or
leans. The city is built on alluvial soil
two or three feet thick, resting on tough,
blue clay, that lets nothing pass through
it. Miles and miles Of streets were often
inundated by overfows. which left behind
slime to putrefy in Ihe hot sun. The
climate was exceedingly moist The city
was without drainage From generation
to generation the soil beneath 1t had be-
come loaded with the excreta of man and
beast. Nearly all the dead of the city
were buried above Eround-the tombs
often being left in state of utter neglect
and decay.
On October %, 1882, the cholera
reached New Orleans The city then
had population of some forty-six thou
sand. Eleven thousand of these sought
safety in fight after the disease APP
peared. OF the remainder, six thousand
died of the pestilence in twenty days
on some days at the rate of five hundred
day. The cemeteries were too small
for the victims, and they were dumped
into trenches by the CARLOAD, while
large numbers, weighted with stone,
were thrown into the Mississippi. AT
the same rate of mortality there now
would be thirteen thousand deaths a
week.
Essentially the saAe has been true of
yellow fever. Between 1887 and 1S43
five thousand five hundred died of it in
New Orleans; in 1847, two thousand
eight hundred in 1858 and the two fol-
lowing years, the deaths numbered thir-
ty-seven thousand. Five dollars a day
failed to secure grave-diggers enough.
Vice and crime became rampant.
The people of New Orleans have since
become convinced of the value of SAM
tatiOn. Says the Century: measures
are growing and bearing fruit day by
day which have already reduced the in
salubrity of New Orleans to q poiEt
where it may be compared with that Of
other great cities, and which promise be-
fore long to make it really and emphati-
cally the home of health, comfort and
safety. -" Youths Coupamion.

The News gets Its information from Hon,
Dan Blotcher, of Holman, Scott County, Ind.
It was in 1916 when Ham Davis was the
Democratic candidate for the Legislature IN
that county. Just before the polls closed
William II. English asked Mr.. BIotchsr if he
knew any voters who had not voted. He
said yes, ''there was Wash Owens but the
had no boots. Mr.. English insisted that
Blotcher should get Owens, so he started for
him. Ovens refused to come to the polls be-
cause he had no boots, but Blotcher bys
deal of persuasion got Ovens to start on the
promise that he would lend him his boots.
Accordingly, when the pair got within half
a mile of Lexington, Blotcher pulled off his
40 Tn
days 1t was universally the custom
to treat voters and Owens received his
dram and fifty cents and leaving Blotcher
standing barefoot in the cornfield started
for the polls. He voted and then pro-
ceeded to invest his fifty cents in Jersey
lightning. The consequence was that Owens
got gloTiously drunk and forgot all about
Blotchers boots. Thiz was a modification
Of Daniel in the lions den. 1t was Daniels

grew lonely, and started after Owens with
