India and America COMPARED.

Gopal Vinayak Joshee, the destin'
guished traveller from India, now visit
ing in San Francisco, was seen yesterday
by Call reporter, who asked his opin
ion of America, as compared with his
native land.
Materially" replied Mr.. Joshee, "this
country is far ahead of ours, but there
are things that l am disappointed in
There seems to be too much talk and
too little accomplished. Now, in India
we do great deal more than we say"
In regard to religion, Mr.. Joshee
thought that it was too generally dis
cussed in America.

everybody believes in it. We think you
as much idolaters as you think us.
When ask man here why he goes to
church, he says: TO pass away the
time'-just as he would 60 out to the
park and listen to the music. Hyou ask
one of my countrymen if he don't think
it foolish to pray to stones and rocks, be
will not argue with you, but would smile
and think you fool"
Mr.. Joshee thought America deficient
in literature, but was surprised at the
large circulation of the daily news
papers.
"India newspapers have circulation
of only about S,OOO,"h he said. They are
small sheets and are sold for much more
than the large papers here. They cost
subscribers about $40 year"
He was pleased to learn that hoodlum

the kind in India. Boys are brought up
to obey their parents and to take care OF
them, even in preference to their wives
Eve can marry from one to q dozen
women" he said "but we can have only
one mother and one father, and we are
taught to take care of them as long az
they are on the earth with u.s."
Mr.. Joshee does not believe in educat.
ion the masses, which, he thinks. unfits
them for work in their stations. He
also thinks that women should work
and not walk the streets. It will be re-
membered that he rather surprised the
attendants upon the recent teachers in
stitute by his views upon the education
of women.

A Go cd Time In Walnut.

Ed. GRAPHIC: Your reporter in COM
pany with three or four others spent a
couple of days the latter part of last
week, visiting old friends in Walnut
township. Our visit was so brief that
we hardly had time to enjoy the over
flowing measures OF kindness that was
constantly bestowed upon US. We
will endeavor to chronicle 2 few of the
most interes ting events of our trip.
We started from home Friday at noon,
and reached the farm of Mrs. Carey
Hopson, about o'clock. The remain
der of the day was spent walking about
over the farm. While walking about
we saw nine very fine steers that Mr..
Hopson, has just sold at the round
price of S45 per head. Mrs. Hopson
has quite curiosity IN way of bird
that can talk. 1t is a mag-pie, a na-
tive of the Western portion of the
United States and speaks some
words very distinctly.
Saturday morning we in company
with Mrs. Hopson' and family started
for the pier near the residence Of F.
S. Hoag. The people were called to
the speakers stand about 10 o'clock by
o. B. Milliken who announced the pro-
gramme for the dav. which consisted
of speeches by |. G Simler, F. S. Hoag
and old father Grimes; music bv Mrs.
James Holloway, Misses Hoag and
Notes.-The and Mr.. G. W. Notes.-The and
others. After dinner the young folks
amused themselves by swinging and
dancing. After the picnic our party
divided, part gong to Mr.. RANSOM s
and part TO 0. B. Milllken's. On Sun
day we had the grandest reunion you
ever heard of, at .Milliken's. There
were twenty-one ate dinner there that
day consisting OF the families OF Mrs.
Carey Hopson, VIM Ransom, wife and
son, G. w. Notes.-The and family, a. G.
Hlldreth and wife. also Mr.. .Newmeyer

things we had to eat while we were in

Next Year a Black One.

Somebody has unearthed an old
prophesy for the year 1886 of decid-
edly uncomfortable nature. 1t appears
that in the church of Obermmel, near
the city of Treyeri, in Germany, there
is stone tablet some centuries old on
which is cut the prophetic yerse-in
prose it may be rendered. 'fWhen
Mark shall bring us Easter, and An
thony shall sing praises at Pentecost,
and John shall swing the censer at the
feast of Corpus Domini, then shall the
whole earth resound with weepings and
waillings." Now 1t so happens that
next year Easter falls on St. Mark S
day, Pentecost on that of 81. Anthony y
OF Padua, and the Corpus Dominl
comes on St. John the Bsptist's day,
June 24th. Here, then, are the hrs
conditions of the prophecy fulfilled, SC
that now believers in prophecies and
anxious minded persons generally.
have only to sit down and think oi
everything disagreeable that can posi-.
bly, happen to this poor old planet and
the dwellers thereon between January
and December, 1886. And really i
the cyclones, and earthquakes, ant
epidem!cs. and "wars and runors O
wars" of the year ISS2-3-4-5 are to be
ecllpsed. the prospect Is not an agree
able one.-Ex.

A Portable Vat for a sheep.

Sheep should be dipped twice a
year. They suffer a great deal from
vermin, which are destroyed by the
dipping. After shearing, the ticks
greatly annoy the lambs, upon which
they gather from the shorn sheep, and
prevent their growth. The lambs, at
least, should be dipped, to free them
from these pests, 1t is well to dip the
whole flock, as safeguard against the
prevalent scab, and other skin diseases
A very good dipping vat may be very
readily made OF one and a quarter inch
tongue and grooved pine boards, put
together at the joints with pitch, and
is furnished with handles, by which it
! be moved from place to place. 1t may
be SIX feet long, three feet wide, and
three teet deep. The sloping ends have
cleats nailed across them on the inside,
by which the sheep are assisted to get
out of the vat. upon a drairing floor
placed to receive them. The dip is
made of one pound OF sulphur, steep
ed in five gallons of boiling water. 1t
is most effective when used at tenn
perature of one hundred end twenty
degrees, and the sheep should be left
IN the dip long enough to have the
wool saturated, and the skin well soak
ed by the fluid. A quantity of fresh
dip should be kept in a boiler, to re-
new the old dip as it is diminished by
use.-American Agriculturist for Sep
tember.

IMMIGRATION.

Statistics show that foreign immigra-
ton to the United States has steadily
decreased during the past three years.
The arrivals for the first five months OF
this year were only 2IS,I7S. and the
prospect is for decided falling off in
the total compared with any recent
year previous to 1879. In that year
the stream of immigration set toward
America, and in the five years from
1880 to 1885 about 5000, 900 foreign
ers landed on our shores. The great
proportion of people coming here
from Germany, Ireland, England,
Sweden and Norway, sought homes in
the West and Northwest and their To-
cation there explains the remarkable
growth of the far Western States and
Territories since the last census was
taken. Dakota nearly doubling Its
population, and Nebraska increasing
from 452 .4o2 in 1850 TO 10000 in
1885.

items concerning our trip from old

My friend and | started in wagon
from Adair county last Monday 1880

Saturday evening aud will remain in
the city until Monday morning when
we will resume our journey westward.
We are stopping at the Grand Avenue
Hotel.
Perhaps it will be of interest to some
of your readers to, know something OF
the crops IN the counties though which
we have PASSED. They are Sullivan,
Grundy, Livingston, Caldwell, Clinton
and Clay. The crops of all kinds so
far as we were able to discern are
what we would call remarkably good
but the people say the crops are not so
good as in former years; if so, would
like to see what they call good crop.
The best school houses we saw on the
road are in Clay county, and teachers
wages are as high as $50 per month.
Tile roads were very dry and solid un-
til we reached the southern part of
Clinton county, when 1t began to rain
Friday and continued all day when it
ceased untll this, Sunday morning, it
commenced again and is raining yet.
The people say they have had plenty
of rain in these counties all season and
part of the time it has been too wet.

How To Make Coffee.

Mix the ground coffee with the
white of an egg and little cold water
stirring them well together. Add
one.third of the amount of the water
required, ard set The pot containing
the mixture on the stove where 1t will
heat gradually The moment it comes
to boil, add a second portion of the
water, and when 1t again reaches the
boiling point add the third portion.
After the whole quantity of water has
been added, let it boil up once, pour
little cold water into the pot, and
remove from the stove, or set back
where it will keep hot without boiling,
and after standing a few minutes to
settle, the coffee vii, be ready for use.
Cold water makes a stronger in
fusion and extracts the aroma OF coffee
better than hot water, and tits advisa.
BILE to let coffee steep two or three
hours after it is mixted before putting
1t 10 cook. The test of rawness. in
cident to most cofees stepped in, or
filtered with, boiling water, Is destroyed
by sleeping in cold water, and then
heating gradually until it reaches the
boiling point. A little cold water
poured into the pot the moment the
coffee bolls settles nicely without the
use OF egg or any foreign substance,
and makes it much clearer than the
arhcal usually served by the average
/ cook. But it does not clarity it per.
ectly. A fine sediment which gives
coffee slightly muddy color, remain:
and detracts from its appearance and
flavor. When the white OF an egg i:
added, this sediment is precipitatec
and in addition to being settled, the
coffee Is clarified and rendered {
bright amber color. An inferior grade
of coffee properly made and perfectly
clarified, will give better satisfaction
than the finest grade made and i'm
perfectly settled; but the very bes
quality of coffee is generally found tt
be the cheapest and most satisfactory
The flavor of coffee is materially i'm
proved for most people by the addition
OF sweet, rich cream; but when cream
can not be obtained, milk. heated t,
the boiling point, is an excellent sub
stitute. Egg yolk should never b
stirred into coffee. 1t is liable to sticl
to the bottom of the pot and burn, an,
instead of making the coffee richer, a
: many cooks suppose, it simply injure
, its fayor.-Nrs. EUfng.
