A very good cake is made OF two
cups OF graham -four, one cup Of
sugar, one cupiul OF sour cream, two
eggs beaten very light, and one tea
spoonful Of soda. Bake an hour.
Porcelain fruit knives are among
the novelties. The blades are white
and semi : transparent, and the
handles are in different colors. These
knives are really revival Of an old
style. They are beautiful. and pos
sess at least one advantage over sill
YER, inasmuch as they may be kept
clean without SO much trouble. But
it is not advisable to drop them upon
the floor.
A delicate souffie is made as fol-
lows: Dissolve a quarter Of pound
OF chocolate in luke warm water !;
add the yolks Of four eggs and cup
OF powdered sugar, and mix we'll to-
gctber until you have . smooth
frothy paste. Beat up the four whites
10 a stiff froth and add them to the
mixture. Pour all into baking dish /;
leave for twenty minutes in the oven
and serve.

While Dean Stanley was q canon
at Canterbury, 4 gentleman, who was
invited to breakfast, found all the
servants assembled in the garden
gazing up at the laburnum in which
. parrot was at large. At that mo-
ment the canon came out. Tho par
rot looked down ct him and said in q
low, but distinct voice, exactly like
Stanley's: LET US pray" He was
captured by the help Of fishing rod.
A gray parrot was stationed in q nur-
sery, where his greatest delight was
to see the baby bathed. An infantile
complaint seized the child, and the
parrot was removed to the kitchen.
There, after time, ne set up terri
BILE cry, "The baby the dear baby!"
All the family rushed down to find
the parrot in the widest excitement
watching the roasting of a sucking
pig.

PEN PARALYSIS.
new it Affects Those Constantly In
gaSs1 In Writing.

Many stenographers and persons
0ho make their living by constant
ase Of the pen or pencil are afflicted
with pen paralysis; and, although as
. general thing. this trouble can be
cured by few months rest, some Of
those writers afflicted with 1t never
recover. Nobody knows the strain
OF incessant pcninanship upon the
muscles and nerves Of the hand and
wrist better, or perhaps as we'll. as
those who pass through daily expe-
rience Of that nature.
Telegraph operators are likewise af-
hicted with paralysis Of the same
muscles. A Times reporter had a
conversation recently with . first
class operator, and asked this ques-
ton:
IL understand that first-class tcle-
graphers are the only ones who get
tslegrsphcrs' paralysis; why don't
the second and third-rate operators
get it?"
because" replied the Morse man,
"a good operator Is paid good salary,
and IL consequently kept constant
ly working ct the board, while sec
ond or third-rate man has many rest
Ing spells, which allow him to stretch
his arms and thus escape paralysis.
Many men who have been working
Ter the company for years. and were
getting good wages, have been COM
PEELED to give up their lucrative en-
ployment by telegraphers' paralysis.

yer arm, which become numb after
. hard days work, and within six
months after the first shock the stout
est operator will succumb. This par
alysis, however, does not destroy the
uee Of your arms and fingers entirely,
but while you are able to lift and
handle objects Of any considerable
sise, you will not be able to button
your coat or suspenders."
Don't that account for some mis-
takes made IN tclegraphing"
"Yes, indeed. Many mistakes in
tclegraphing. charged At first to de-
1scts in the machinery, have been
traced 10 paralysis in the operator,
because Il soon becomes evident that
TIE operator has lost his sense Of
touch. You see, the slightest press
urv - the key over what is required
will produce another letter than the
oas intended by the operator. and SO
+ sooa comes about that what the
unfortunate operator at first attrib-
utica 70 overwork finally comes to be
IN evident loss Of sensitiveness Of
touch. This usually occurs from six
70 eight years alter an operator has
been working steadily as a first. t.class
man.

Governor and Council.

The Governor and Executive Council were
in session yesterday. Nelson Howard, ex-
Mayor OF the city of Lewiston, appeared be-
fore them and advocated the appointment of
special constable for that CITY, to enforce
the liquor law. He claimed that the sheriff
of the county, at previous meeting of the
Council, had made declaration that the
liquor law was not enforced in that city. and
could not be without the aid of additional
force, the present city government doing
little OF no thing towards the enforcement IF
the law, and that its provisions were violated
for the want of an efficient force The State
had given official notice to the present mayor
of the city that there would be hearing on
this question, but no one saw fit to make an
appearance In consequence of what appeared
at a former hearing and what was said by ex-
Mayor Howard, the Council unanimously
voted that the petitioners had made out a
appoint special constable for the locality.
1t is understood that the Governor will i'm
mediately make an appointment.

Railroad Notes.

An official Of the Bos on & Maine, when
asked if there is any Significance in the ap-
pointment of Mr.. f. w. Cram of the Maine
Central as general manager of the New
Brunswick Railway GAO miles,. replied
that there is none. 1t bears no relation to
the rumored consolidation In fact, no con-
solidation scheme is pending. Mr.. Cram
was formerly superintendent Of the European
& North American Railway. and is therefore
qualified better than most men for his new
position; and as MIR. Blrpee, the late man
ager, desired more time for financial duties,
he becomes vice-president. The business re-
lations between the company and the Maine

For the information of those who may not

important section.

tInue il; and if he neglects or unreasonablv
delays to do SO, he forfeits not exceeding one
hundred dollars; and said committee or off,
Ger shall cause said nuisance to be removed
or discontinued; and all expenses thereof
shall be repaid 10 the town by such owner or
occupan. or by the person who caused or
permitted it,
DR.. Geo. W. Martin, city physician last

nation as to the need of the enforcement of
