which was perpetrated Saturday after
noon. He had left his vest hanging in a
back room of his place. In the outside
pocket was S2S in paper money, and an
inside pocket contained three $50 gold
pieces. Some one entered the room during
his absence and took the $2S. but evi-

Song Service

The song service held at the Ninth
street Methodist Episcopal church last
night, although the first one ever held
there, was grand success. The atten
dance was large, and had the church been
twice as large as it was, it would not have
held the people who were compelled to go
away on account of there being no more
standing room. A number of pieces OF
excellent music were rendered by the
choir to the complete satisfaction of every
one who was present. 1t is intended tC
have more of these song services in thi'
church.

men who used to be the most prominent
republicans in the city. Hon. Jerry
Murphy. Mayor Claussen, Hon. j. w.
Stewart and Mr.. G. c. Carsens were the
speakers of the evening. and right well
did they acquit themselves. They were
loudly applauded whenever a telling hit
was made against the rotten and corrupt
radical party. The bonfire was immense,
and the resonant sounds of the artillery
loud and sonorous, The meeting was
given up by the republicans to be the
largest assemblage ever gathered together
in the city, and the enthusiasm manifested
exceeded even the most sanguine ex-

Why Well-To-Do Families are Glad to
Import Help From Europe.
Almost every American wen-to-do
family that travels abroad returns with
one or more foreign servants. Maid
servants are most in favor, for Ameri-
can ladies find it difficult in this coun-
try to secure young women who are
willing to wait on them, dress their hair,
and perform other personal services.
American girls who s.live OUT have not
the submissiveness of the foreign
trained body servants. They resent any
appearance of authority, nor are they
as well trained as foreign servants in
those personal attentions that add to
the comfort of woman's life. Then
it is often an advantage to have girl
in the family who can speak French or
German, as they help in educating the
children into the mysteries of foreign
languages. Many men servants are
also brought over, but they do not stay
with their employer for so long time as
do the maids and governesses hired
abroad. The latter find it more diff
cult to change their employments, and
girls at service do not marry SO readily
as young women who receive their COM
pany at home or who work in shops
Domestic service in these modern times
is disorganized, because ministering to
the wants of another human being is re-
garded as mental and degrading. 1t
should not be SO considered. Adding
to the comfort and ministering to the
necessities of others should be looked
upon as the most laudable of occupations.
1t has been SO deemed in all the best
ages of the world. The squire and the
page of the Middle Ages did every
thing for the personal comfort of tn,
knight they served. To wait on a
kingly or noble person was mark Of
honor. Fidelity to any other person
than oneself is among the chiefest and
most useful virtues !; but reverence and
respect for others is dying out in
: America, and so our servants are drawn
in great part from classes trained in
European ways of thinking. Democrats

Peach and plum pits should not be
planted in the fall. as many of them

doors until spring, then crack and plant
very early.-7roy Times.
White Cake: Two coffee cups of
sugar; one coffee cup Of butter; the
whites of four eggs; one coffee cup of
cold water; three and half coffee cups
powder. Beat the butter until light,
add sugar and stir well, then add whites
of eggs (not beaten) and beat well all

and baking powder.-The Household.
An exchange says that rocky forest
land had better be kept in woods until
the rest of the farm is in the highest
possible state of cultivation. There are
millions of acres of poor land partly
cultivated that ought never to have been
cleared Off OF that which is plowed
not one acre in 1000 is made TO produce
half as much as it would produce if
thoroughly TILED and wisely fortified.
So long as stone is not too large
to be turned in the furrow, or pass be-
tween the harrow-teeth, it is a benefit
to the soil. 1t is merely a solid frag-
ment which gradually weathers away
and is constantly furnishing fertility as
the rain and frost crumble it down.
Hence to pick field clear of these ''in-
cumbrances" is to deprive it of source
of constantly accruing plant-food-pot-
ash. lime, phosphoric acid and other
valuable mineral matter.-NeW York

Raised Loaf Cake: One cup of but
ter, three and one-halfcups of sugar, one
cup of lard. seven cups of flour, one cup
of yeast, two eggs, one pint of milk,
one small pinch of soda, one-fourth
pound of citron. Warm the milk, then
add half the flour, and one cup of
shortening, one cup of sugar and the
cup OF yeast. Let this stand three or
four hours. Then take the remainder
with spice and raisins, and mix all to-
gether Let it stand i n warm place
over night. just before putting into
the pans add the soda and citron. =

The Country Gentleman says:
Sometime between now and next
spring every owner of plum orchard
or apricot tree should insert in the
trunk, or if the tree is large, int, each
main limb, an iron plug to strike on
with heavy hammer for jarrinS down
the curculios. The plugs may be easily
and cheaply made by blacksmith, by
ehopping up round iron rod, say
three-eighths of an inch in diameter
and three inches long; and then set in
holes bored in the tree an inch or two
deep. A blow on one of there plugs
will bring down every curculio, upon
sheets to be spread under the trees.

Utilizing Solar Heat.


Certain ingenious Parisians are ex-
perimenting with an apparatus for util
izing solar heat and using it in lieu o.
coal. To effect this the SUMS rays are
concentrated by reflector, which SC
moves as to keep the rays focused on a
vertical boiler, which is thus heated,
producing steam enough to drive q
press. In recent experiment the sun
made steam drove large press, which
struck off several thousand copies OF a
specimen newspaper. Parties interested
in thus obtaining the cheapest attain
able heat profess themselves asswell sat-
isfied with the first test, and are in high
hopes Of soon being able to generate
steam without coal or any ether mum

The secret Of Making 1t Profitable ane
Good Advice.
The prevailing opinion expressed by
Western New York farmers. at recent
meeting of the Farmers Club at Roch-
ester, was opposed to the old time prac-
tice of wintcring our shoats and butch
ering them year or a yeai and half
old. The practice favored is to have
pigs Uttered in the spring by old breed
ing sows, OF improved breed, and butch
cred before the first of the next Janu
airy. This practice is based on the be-
lief that swine feeding pays best which
keeps the animals growing rapidly from
birth to butcher's-block.
One member, who had practiced
different method for some twenty years,
explained his system. He planned to
have portion of the pigs Uttered early
in the spring, in order to have some
really to kill at ten months. Others
were Uttered in June, when cows milk
is plentiful on the farm and there is
good pasture. The June litter he kept
in thriving condition the first season and
through the winter. The next summer
he allowed them the run of pasture, with
milk and Stops, fattening in the autumn,
when they would average in weight
about four hundred pounds.
The secretary of the club, an advo-
cate for the practice of having pigs lit
tered in the spring, advised feeding the
pigs for the first six months on clover,
peas, middlings and skim milk and
other feed in which the albuminoids
predominant, the leading object during
these months being the rapid making OF
muscle and bone rather than laying on
of fat A good clover-pasture with milk
and mill-feed promotes rapid growth
until midsummer, when gleanings of
the wheat stubble, a crop of field peas
and the like carries them on until the
first of October, when the final fatten-
ing process begins. At that season,
the secretary believed that no other food
makes good solid pork faster than old
corn-meal cooked. Whether it always
pays to grind and cook the corn is an
other question.
The presidents experience had led
him to believe that pork can be made
more rapidly on cooked barley meal than
IN corn-meal. A member reported sue
aessful results with feed of oats and
barley mixed with corn-meal. His OBJ
servation had been that old hogs thrive
better on corn-meal alone, while
younger animals require change of
food
The members agreed that the state of
the market is an important factor in
deciding the most profitable time to
butcher and sell. The opinion was,
however. very generally expressed that
It does not pay to hold the pigs very
long after extreme cold weather begins.
Unless the animals are warmly housed
considerable loss of flesh occurs, for the
sat-forming ingredients are expended in
keeping up the vital heat.-N. Y. World.

1t Rules the World, and Is Not Altogether
Pleasant Master.
The world is so old, men as rule are
snch inveterate imitators, literature is so
apt to shape itself in the molds of the
schools of the day, that voice perfectly
natural and fresh surprises us almost as
much as it delights us. The ancients
enjoyed the advantage in that they
wrote before the great art of writing i'll
had been invented, says Lichtenberg.
There are standards of taste, canons Of
criticism, DEGREES of authority that the
prudent and the worldly-wise will never
dare to defy. A genius. brave in the
consciousness of his strength, may now
and then venture to set them aside; but
mediocrity, however ambitious, will
always copy. The case would not be
so lamentable were the insincerity and
intellectual timidity confined to litera-
ture. Conventionalism rules the world.
In the conversation of those who are
ordinarily called cultivated people the
same old cut and dried opinion, the
same old stock of silent quotations, and
set phrases even, are reported ad nau-
seam. One might suppose that people
got their talk as the parvenu does his
manners, out of a handbook of etiquette.
But now and then we find child of
nature who is not afraid to speak right
out his or her own honest and simple
opinions, and however crude, however
wide of the mark they may be, we are
always charmed, for then at least we
have found something genuine, original
and natural. N. O. Rcayune.
