A DEFENDER OF GRANT.
A Politician Challenges A Naval
 Lieutenant For SlaRdering The Dead

A Politician Challenges A Naval
 Lieutenant For SlaRdering The Dead
 Hero.
 BAR HARBoR, Me, Aug. 24.-A sensation al story has leaked out here, the substance of which is as follows: While a prominent poli tician of New York, personal friend of Gen; eral Grant, was visiting the flagship Tennes- see with party of ladies lieutenant on board still wearing the mourning crape upon his arm indulged in slanderous remarks against General Grants character and career. The politician became very angry and on his return to shore sent the slanderer challenge to fight duel. The latter declined on the ground that duelling is in violation of navy regulations. The irate gentleman then noti- fled the officer that he would shoot him on sight unless he accepted the challenge. The lieutenant finally accepted the challenge, but while the preliminaries were being ar ranged the admiral heard of it and declined to permit the lieutenant to go ashore at the time appointed for the meeting and so for the time being there will be no gore spilled.

l'orcite Powder.

Among the explosives now in the American markets is forcite powder, which is rapidly winning name for itself among the older powders and is battling for popu- lar recognition in its claims for a front rank ill efficiency and econo. my.
 The new powle is very eimilar to explosive ge!atinc, the most powerful agent known among the explosives; it was invented by K. J. Sundstrom, Swedc, and patcn. ted in this country in 1881. It is a Pasty or plastic golatinized nitro. glyccrine compound, and is com posed of cellulosc and niter and nitro glycerine.
 It's advantages as an explosive are stated as fellows: Ii is five times less sensitive to shock than dynamite, and iS much safer, it's scmi-sohd state permits it to be used with ease under any and all conditions; like explosive gclative, it is mpervious to water, and i5 thus valuable for military, nav al and submarine work; it is claimed to be, on the basis of volume, 9 to 70 per cent stronger than dYna- mite, and it's cost of manufacture is about the same as dynamite.
 In support of these claims for the new powder we notice, says Engin, cering News, that Gen. Henry L. Abbot, Tn an official report on this powder, says that taking dynamite No. as standard, and giving it a value of 100, the iorcite. with 90 degrees equals an intensity of l33; with D per cent it equals l24; and with 40 per cent strength it equals an mtesity of g.. In personal letter to the manufacturers of the forcitc, published with the report, Gen. Abbott also says; Your ex, ploSiye is the strongest to be had in our market; and must therefore be prominent candidate for adop- ton in our torpedo serYlco in pla co of dynamite No. l.-Scientiflc American.

Husbands.
American Farmers

American Farmers
 Miss Carson said at the Balti- more cooking school that Ra'ti- more lady had written a recipe for cooking husbands 50 as to make them tender and good. 1t is as follows: ".l good many husbands are spoiled by bad management. Some women go about as If thicr h usbands were bladders and blow them up, others let them freeze by their carelessncSs and indifference Some keep them in stew of irri- tating words and ways; others roast them. Some keep them iii 4itklc all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good managed in 4his way, but they are really deli ciouS when properly treated. In selecting your husband you should not be guided by the silvery ap- pearance as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to market tor him, as the best are always brought to your door. IL is far better to have nor Q unless you will.paticntly learn how Co cook him. A preserving kettle Of the finest porcelain is best. but if you have nothing but an carthcn- ware napkin it will do with care. see rnat the linen in which yon wrap him is nicely washed and mended. with the required number of buttons and strings nicely sew ed OF. Tie him in the kettle with a strong silk'c called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak. They arc apt to fly out of the kettle and be burned and crus- ty on the edges, si43eo like crabs and holsters you have to cook them while alive. Make a steady fire of love, neatness and cheerful ness. Set him as near to this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and iizzcs do not be anX. anxious; some husbands do this until they arc quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confecti0ners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgement. Do not stick any sharp instruu elt into him to see if he is tender 1T he is becoming tender. Stir him gent ly watch the while lest he lie too flat and close to the kettle and be- come useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If thNs treated yoa will find him very di- gestiblc. agreeing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as long as you want, unless you become careless and get him into cold a place.

How to Grow Wise,

Here is a bit of advice from St,
 Nicholas which is just as good for grown ID people as for the boys and girl:
 After reading a book or an arti. cle or an item of information from any reliable source, before turning your attention to other things, give two or three minutes of quiet thought to the subject that has just been presented to your mInd; see how much you can remember con corning it; and if there were any new ideas, Instructive facts, or poi its of special interest that i'm - pressed you as you read, force yourself to recall them. IL may be alittle troublesome at first until your mind gets under control or learns 10 obey your will, but the
 very effort to think it all out will engrave tue fact dceF1y vpoa the memory, so deeply that they will not be efflced by the rushing in of "a new and different set of ideas: whereas if the matter be given no further consideration at all the in. pressi0ns you have received will fade away so entirely that within a few weeks you will be totally una ble to remember more than dim outline of thens.
 From the good habit then of al- ways reviewing what has just been read. It exercises and disciplincs the mental faculties, strengthens the memory, and teaches concen- tration of thou sht.
 You wi}l seen learn in tIis way to think and reason Intelligcntly, separate and classify different kinds of informa.ion; and in tine the mind instead of being a lumber room, in which tho various con- tents are thrown together in care less confusion and disorder, will l become store house where each | special class or item of knowledge, | neatly labeled has it's own particu- lar place. and is ready for use the instant there is need of 1t.

 Mir. Gus Williams, an old hunter living in the northern part of this county, was out looking for a deer last Friday. Snddcly in an open z lade he found three red deer. grazing, and off, perhaps fifty feet was mix white deer. The 0lI hunter gazed al this animal in won, der, of which he had so often heard fabulous tales repeated by the hearth stone and around the lone camp fire, and for the first time ill fife he says, II took the buck agcr land shuck like a pine tree in a storm, it seemed so unearthly, and l felt so strange. It was some time before l could level my gun and
 ire.' He says he followed the bounding beautiful creature sove. ral miles and at last killed it. Im- mcdiately with violent excitement after removing the hide he looked for the mysterious white stone said to be found in this remarkable animal, His curiosity was gra;ifed and traditions told from childhood were verified by occular demonstra tion. and the pearl or stone of great price had been found, the wonderful antidote for the poison causing hydrophobia. Tho two hams he sent to President Cleve- land, the hide he sold to Mr. Meh- finger of this city, who will dress it and forward to the worlds fair. The small pearl like stone, trans parent almost and about the size of an almond, he intends have it con yerted into a watch charm. Pine Bluff Commercial.

Educated and intelligent farmers are more than ever required in az riculture. The competitive tenden- cy of the age makes this necessi- ty. The closer the competition the better must he the system of farm ing followed and the adlniniStra- tive ability of the farmer.
