Senator Edmunds's Weakness,

New York Graphic.
Senator Edmunds is passionately addicted to
onions, said a lady who goes camping with him
every season. His craze for the pungent, pest.
ferrous vegetable is simply awful never saw
anything like it. When he starts off for his
annual holiday in the woods he has an enor-
nous supply of onions among the stores provided
for the trip, and then every farm house he comes
to he wants to stop and buy few more onions,
until everyone feels as though he belonged to an
onion caravan. While he is in camp his morning
meal is an onion and graham cracker; for his
luncheon he takes a graham sandwich and an
onion; his dinner consists of meat and onions. "
In his inordinate appetite for onions may be
found an explanation of the dark and mysteri-
Gus hints as to the personal habits of Senator
Edmunds which formed the basis of the Suns
opposition to him as possible Republican nomi-

Fashions In Hair-Dressing.
Tho EraphiC.


The Grecian knot has been so long the pre-
vailing style for wearing the hair, and flowers
were so exceedingly unbecoming to this style,
that people have almost forgotten how pretty
and becoming they were when artistically worn.
Not so many years ago it was a general custom
but that like many other pretty customs, died
out on the birth of the little tight wad of hair
the smaller the better-fastened low in the
neck and worn indiscriminately by young and
old, mistress and maid. But just now few
sensible people are awakening to the fact that
the little wad is not becoming to all peculiar
styles of beauty, and are recovering from the
mad alteration for a professional beauty whose
hair was low in her neck in the back to conceal
blemish on an otherwise perfect neck and
whose front hair bushy tangle The out
come of this awakening is that women are stud
wing the shane of their own craniums, and as a
consequence many are wearing their hair high
on their heads; some wear it half high, and
some still cling to the little wad wrongly mag
lining that they are following after their beloved
professional With the hair high flowers and
jewels may be worn again; but flowers, like jew
els, must be carefully placed or the effect is far
from that desired.

Corned Beef.

There are several recipes for pre-
serving beef in this way. Allinclude
the addition to the p.ckling brine of
saltpetre to keep the fibre of the meat
tender. Ifpacked in strong salt and
water only, beef becomes tough and
hard, and besides soon absorbs so
much of the salt as to be altogether
UNBEATABLE. Sugar is also added to
counteract the salty taste, and spices
to give an agreeable flavor to the
meat. A good recipe for plain corn
beef is the following: Put four gal
Ions of water over the fire, and add
to it two pounds of brown sugar, ten
pounds of salt, and three ounces of
saltpetre. AS the water boils skim it
well, and when all the contents of the
water are quite dissolved take it from
the stove and set to cool. Cut your
beef into pieces of a convenient size
and pack closely into a cask or barrel
When the brine is quite cool pour it
over the meat. This quantity OF
brine will suffice for 200 pounds Of
meat. Beef should lie in pickle for
at least two months to become thor
oughly corned, and will keep in ii
for at least six months or more. II
you wish to smoke it., take the pieces
from the brine at the end of month
and expose to wood smoke in a smoke
house for eight or ten days.

Good Men Make Good Horses.
Farmers Tribune.

Farmers Tribune.
We saw farmer the other day
with a fine looking team passing our
residence. One of the horses had q
familiar look. Hating the farmer,
we said, on looking closely at the
horses: "Why, your off horse is the
counterpart of neighbor-'s balky
horse-the one he had so much trou-
BILE with yearor two ago." "Why,"
said he, "this is the same animal.
After few days 1 never had any
trouble with him." GLOW did you
break the balky creatures" we in
quired. "By Kindness" retorted the
farmer "the same way that 1 have
broken lots of other horses in my life
time that were considered unsafe,
either in saddle or harness." Well,
well, this proves what some one said,
that a horse is never vicious or in
tractable without direct cause. fla
horse is FESTIVE or timorous you may
besure that these faults arise from de-
fects in his education. He has been
treated either awkwardly or brutally.
Commence the education of a horse
at his birth accustom him to the
presence, voice and sight of man,
speak and act gently; caress him ; all
chastisement or cruelty confuses the
animal and makes him wild. They
are good men who makegood horses.
We do not now remember of ever
seeing an uncertain, unsafe, balky,
horse belonging to man of this char
acter. They make the horse good.

Holston Review: So long as hogs
will get their living running in an
orchard with only little thin swill
as drink, many farmers think this
the best method Of keeping them.
Later on they will stuff twenty to
fifty bushels of good corn down these
hogs at an enormous waste to make
them fat. A small pail of this fed
now would keep the pigs in thrifty
condition, and the fattening after
would be done with much greater
profit. Corn, however, is not the best
food for pigs while they are growing.
If peas are grown in the orchard and
the pigs turned on the stuble after the
bulk of the crop is off, the pigs will
thrive, the apple trees and the apple
crop will be benefited, and the peas
will probably pay better under the
shade of a bearing orchard than any
other crop that can be grown there.

In various respects italian bees are
considered superior. They have larg-
er tongues, and are thus enabled to
gather from flowers that are useless
to the common black bee. This adj
vantage is not so noticeable in times
when honey is plentiful ; butts plain
ly apparent in poor seasons or times
of scarcity, when the Italians will be
found to have stored surplus from
red clover or other sources not avail
able to the black bees. They are less
disposed to rob, or to be robbed, than
the black bees. They are not as liza
BILE to injury by the moth. They are
more disposed to be quiet and to re-
main on the comb when handled, by
which the operation avoids much

the same time more energetic as

Room AT THE tor.


They say the professions are crowded,
BY seekers for bread and for fame;

Who have that indOmitable "pluck,"
Which people everywhere worship,
And say 'what fellow for luck"
But luck has nothing to do with it;
1t is this--work, work, never stop;
If you only have heart in your labor,
You will surely come out at the top.
Work, work from dawn until evening.
Improve every moment Of time;
Don't stay on life's lower flooring,
But onward and upward e'er climb.
If SOME one does feel above you,
Don't let this your endeavors stop;
For If they do practice off-showing
And have of fine airs large stock,
They'll find ere they die am thinking,
1t is brains which find room at the top.
