Both Of the Wheeling dsiies were yester-

CHARITY" with some show of propriety,
selected the REGIsTER for his gentle rebuke,
while Democrat" with keen discern
ment of the fitness of things, chose the In
teNgencer fer his assault.
By this double notice from friend and foe
"Facts" ought to feel profoundly honored.
And he does. His sole regret is that, "the
English language, despite the Vastness Of its
capabilities, is inadequate for full expires
sion Of his grateful acknowledgements" (as

premise that just as facts, as such, cannot
always be agreeable to Charity, in its true
sense. so too they are apt at times to be
obnoxious to a Democrat who prefers to

The air is so tonic, the work is SO ex-

ssr.wb.rrt... Set Thorn NOW.

Now is q good time to start o bed
OF Strawberries. Few who have not
tried realize how small an ares and how
little trouble it takes to grow strawber-
ries in plenty for family use. The
young plants, either common rune
or potted plants, can now be safely set
where they are to grow. The latter set
on rich soil will bear we'll next June.
One hundred plants we'll cultivated will
give an abundance for family use.
There is no farmer in the state of Mich.
igan but may have all this delicious
fruit that his family desire for use
during the season or for canning.
They are as sure as the wheat
crop and for the space used more prof
table. The lot owner in town will find
more satisfaction in o plat of strawber-
ries than in anything else he can raise.
A class of fruit that is so easily spoiled
by handling one only knows its true
worth who can pick it fully ripe from
his W garden. He can never get it
second hand in perfection, and besides
when one depends on the market he
does not provide his family with half as
many as they want.
Ii 100 quarts are used during the
season they will cost at a low price ten
cents per quart or $40. This will seem
a large amount to pay out for one fruit,
but they can be easily grown on four
square rods of ground and will bel
perfect surprise to the family and o
great saving as well. Who will not try
them.

An American in Holland.

My companion will persist in jabber.
ing the language Of the country and ls
constantly getting us into trouble. J
have warned him time and again, but tc
no effect. He will ask when the train
leaves, and usually translates the an.
swer about three hours after it's depart
ure, thus necessltating another day in
town. The other day he called for q
tariff card in a restaurant and got a
railroad time table. At breakfast this
morning he asked for some ice water
and obtained ice cream. And SO it
goes. I am made the victim of for
eigners on the one hand and my lin
guistic friend on the other. If there is
one thing that makes me downright
mad it is to be swindled. It is a re-
Election upon ones business acumen.
We have been constantly subjected
to petty thefts. At first it took
us SO long to count the money
that we would seek a secluded spot to find
out if the right change had beengiven.
If we then discovered fraud it was too
late to remedy it. The last tlme was
swindled was at Amsterdam. / blame
no II but myself. We were at the rail
way station, and my friend priced u
ticket to Antwerp. which we understood
to be two forins and fifty cents. He
bought a ticket and went of to count
his change. l then bought my ticket.
Had l looked on the ticket J. would
have seen the price marked at two for
ms and fifteen cents. I gave the man
a French piece of money worth 81, up
on which he allowed me eighty cents,
and then I emptied my pockets of all
the Holland change l had and borrow
ed all my friend had to make up what
| supposed to be the price of the ticket.
I came within one cent of it. 1 asked
the man if that would do, and he said
it would. When 1 got on the train and
studied the financial problem I found
that l had calmly stood at the ticket
Office and had given the agent fifty cents
more than was necessary Correspon-

A Corn-Husking Festival.

How wildly to all those of us who
were born in the country the re-
membrance of husking-time. We wait
ed for it as for a galaday of the year.
It was called q frolic. The trees hay
ing for the most part shed their foliage,
the farmer waded through the fallen
leaves and came through the keen
morning mir to the gleeful company.
The frost which had silvered everything
during the night began to melt off Of
the top of the corn-shocks. While the
farmers were waiting for others, they
stood blowing their breath through
their fingers or thrashing their arms
around their body to keep up warmth of
circulation. Roaring mirth greeted the
late farmer as he crawled over the
fence. Jokes and repartee and rustic
salutations abounded. All ready, now.
The men take hold of the shock of corn
and hurl it PROSTATE, while the moles
and mice which have secreted them
selves there for warmth attempt to es-
cape. The withe of straw is unwound
from the corn-shock, and the stocks,

A sitka Romance.

A very tragic little story was told ia
a company slipping tea around a shin
ing samovar the other night that in.
vests even the garrison days that sue
ceaded the transfer with something of
romantic incident. The captain and
lieutenant of one of the companies sta
toned at Sitka in the first year of Unit
ed States possession fell desperately in
love with the same beautiful Russian.
She was a most charming woman, with
soft, mysterious eyes, a pale, deli
cate face, and q slow, dreamy smile
that set the Two warriors wild.
All the garrison knew of their fierce
rivalry, SO marveled not a little when
their old friendship appeared to be re-
stored, and the two suitors started off
or a hunting expedition together. One
haggard man returned two days later
and told that his companion had been
attacked and gored to death by an en-
ragged buck in the forest. He was
gloomy and strange in his manner, and
at nightfall went to the house of the
Russian lady to break the news of his
rivals death. The friends of the lost
officer talked the thing over, and gus
pecting that a duel had been fought, de-
cided to go out the next day and search
for the body. In the morning the sur
viving rival was found dead ia bed, with
o look of agony and horror on his face.
One story was that his victim had
appeared to him, and he had died of
fright and terror; the other was
that ONE unknown and sub.
tie poison had been administered tc
him in a cup of tea, and the official re.
port ascribed his death to heart disease.
The body of the lost rival was found
at the foot of q steep bank on the shore
of Indian river, where q tangle of ferns,
bushes, and grasses shaded and almost
covered the clear, still pool in which
he lay. His rifle lay near him, and a
bullet-hole in his heart told the sad
truth that his friends had suspected.
His death was officially attributed to
the accidental discharge of his own ri
f1e while hunting, and under these two
virdicts the real truths were concealed.
The family of the Russian beauty dis
appeared from Sitka in a few months,
and the story had been half forgotten
until the recent opening of a path along
Indian river recalled it to some of those
who lived her" at the time.-Cor. of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Oatmeal Hine Day. Ola,

I find that oatmeal porridge is great
ly improved by being made some days
before it is required, then stored in a
closed jar, brought forth and heated for
use. The change effected is just that
which theoretically may be expected,
viz, a softening of thu fbrous materi-
al, and o sweetness due to the formation
of sugar. This sweetening I observed
many years ago in some cruel that was
partly eaten one night and left standing
until next morning, when I thought it
tasted sweeter, but to be assured of this
Ihad it warmed again two nights after
ward, 81 that it might be tasted under
the same conditions of temperature,
palate, etc, as at first. The sweetness
was still more distinct, but the expert
ment was carried no farther. I
have lately learned that my ensilage
notion is not absolutely new. A
friend who read my Cantor lectures
tells me that he has long been accus-
toned to have seven dishes of porridge
in his larder, corresponding to the sew
en- days Of the week, 80 that next Mon
days breakfast was cooked the Monday
before. and so on, each being warmed
again on the day fixed for it's final
execution, and each being thus
seven days old. He finds the result
more digestible than newly-made por-
ridge. The classical nine days old
pease pudding is o similar anticipation,
and 1 find, rather curiously, that nine
days is about the limit to which it may
be practically kept before mildew-
mouldiness-is sufficiently established
to spoil the pudding. Ihave not yet
tried a barrel full of pease pudding or
moistened pease meal, closely covered
and powerfully pressed down, but hope
to do so.-From "The Chemistry of
Cookery" by w. Mattieu Williams, in
Popular Science Monthly.

THE HOME CIRCLE and FARM.
Household Hints.

The gravy made from roast lamb is
much improved in flavor if a few thin
slices of bacon are laid over and under
the roast.
The best way to boil corn is to boil it
with part of the husks on it. Remove
the silk and the tough outer covering,
leaving the white inner leaves. The
corn will BIO much sweeter if cooked in
this way.
If you are to have winter window gar
dens, now is a good time to start them.
The experience of amateurs is, general
ly, that the slips do better with ordin-
AIRY soil and care than the old and stocky
plants.
A correspondent, "E," asks how to
clarity sugar: To three pounds of sugar
allow three pints of water; melt the SUI
gar in the water, and let it como to a
boil; then add the well-beaten white of
n egg. Let this boil from eight to
ten minutes, and then strain it.
A delicious dish for breakfast is made
by boiling some potatoes until tender,
but not soft; remove them from the
water, dry them on a hot plate, then
rub them through o coarse sieve. If
they were boiled in salt water, they will
require no other seasoning. Rub them
through a sieve held over the dish in
which they are to be served, as any
handling will make the particles fall,
and the effect will be spoiled.
Preserved Tomatoes are q luxury
appreciated in winter. To sever pounds
of tomatoes add n pint of vinegar,
three and a half pounds of sugar, one
ounce each of cloves, allspice and Gin
amo Scald and peel the tomatoes
very ripe mes are best); drain them.
Let the vinegar, sugar and spices boil
for five minutes, then put the tomatoes
into the kettle; these should boil for at
least half an hour; if they were not SUE
cessfully drained, three-qnarters CT an
hour is o n to long. Keep them in
jars closely covered.

ioweret. She reddena when he spesks,
when she answers, when he goes away,
and when he returns. There are gener.
Gus natures that cannot stand this.
They seek opportunities of inspiring
that girl with hope, and in due time re-

Then perhaps she springs to her feet,

ed that some maidens can blush At
their own sweet will by holding their
breath, clenching their precious little
fists, straining their tender little mus.
cles, and letting all go with o run. We
do not credit this legend. In the first
place, we have persuaded several guile
less and whole-souled young ladies tc
try-which they did with a willingness
most lattering and a failure most un-
%equivocal; in the second, it is not to be
believed that any creature bearing, APP
proximately, the sacred name of woman
would thus trifle with the fondest illu.
sions cherished by male kind.

Imported Horses.

A writer from France to the Breeders
Gazette thus describes how some deal
ers purchase horses for the American
market: I'VE have seer this year some
very selfish Americans who came to
Perche and have. spent their time in
looking after the poorest stock because
it was the cheapest. Such expectations
can only do harm both in America and
in Percl:e. No doubt some are regis
tered and by means OF this may be
palmed off as the crelm of the perche.
l can not help relating to you how an
American of your Western states trans
acted his business. He did not even
pay a visit to the Perche. As soon
as he arrived in Paris he took q
cab, went to q dealer there and
said: I want fifty horses and sat
down while the dealer gathered them
for him. These animals came from
the Lord only knows where, very likely
the most of them from Belgium, with
which e few from the Perche or else
where are mixed; but it is all the same to
this gentleman from the West as long
Us they are cheap. As 1901 us he had the
required number he herded them to-
eether and shipped them to America,
where I am told they are sold under the
name of "Normans." It is indeed q
wonder that the old dukes of Normandy
do not get out of their graves in their
wrath at the idea of calling these heavy
draft-horses "Normans." In view of
such practices it is we'll for buyers to
know frora whom they purchase when
paying good prices for imported
stock"

An Excellent Stock nu1e.

New York Tribune:-An excellent
rule for owners o five stock of all kinds
to be guided by is this: that what is
bad for his own health is bad
for his stock. A man feeds him
self reasonably he would not think of
eating the hard, unripe, windfall apples
which he gives to his COWS, nor make q
meal of chaff instead Of bread, although
his cattle may be forced to feed upon
swamp weeds and dead and dry heritage
picked up from what has been rejected
during the summer; nor will he drink
foul water, nor live in such filth as he
keeps his poultry or his pigs in. I
don't know but what mankind can stand.
more OF this than our, domestic animals
can, but at any rate as s. rule we try to
avoid it, and if we should have sound,
healthy stock we must treat them, as
regards sanitary laws, precisely as we
do ourselves, and in some cases better.

When General Hancock was a candi.
date for the Presidency, the venerable
Hebrew philanthropist, Sir Moses
Mentefiore, of London, sent a gift OF
some beautiful wood CT rvings to the
Generals wife, accompanied by a grace
full message. The gift and the com.
munication were transmitted to Mrs
Hancock by Mr.. Marcus, of Boston.
The one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Sir Moses Montefiore will oc.
cur on the Oath of October next, and
the event will be extensively celebrated
by the members of his race, with the
warm sympathies Of other admirers of
his life and character. At the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Marcus, who was aware Of
her talent for musical composition,
Mrs. Hancock has written the score OF
an orchestral piece for performance on
this occasion. It is probable that the
first rendering Of the composition will
be in Boston. as application has been
made for the privilege of using it In a
synagogue there on the Jewish New
Year, which falls on the Goth Of the
present month.
