Senator HOar at the Front.

The keynote of Senator Hoars great
speech at Worcester is in two sentences:
IL cannot follow those leaders who so
fear that the American people will be
"dd6auched by the appointment of Gus
tom House officers and postmasters that
they are content that suffrage itself shall
"be suppressed. cannot be satisfied
with a civil service reform which con-
tents itself with one New York post
''master, while the doctrine TO the victors
"belong the spoils' is the rule tor the rest
''of the country" Senator Hoar's discus
sion of the Southern question is remark
ably strong aud convincing, but he is, if
possible. even more emphatic in his de-
nunciaton OF President Cleveands disre-
gard of all his pledges and professions in
his appointments and removals. Nor
does the Senator neglect the tariff ques-
ton. but he urges earnestly that the
American market must be preserved TO
our own industries. and that those indus
tries must not be thrown into confusion
and uncertainty hy the constant tampering
of rashness and ignorance"
In the campaigns that are coming, this
strong speech will be of great use as a
document for circulation Rarely has the
argument on the Southern question been
stated more clearly. or the indecency OF
trying to brush aside that question with
sneers or with polite Indifference been
more strongly portrayed. As the Senator
says, there is scarcely a Republican who
would not gladly be rid OF the odous
subject. and never mention it again, if
che could but reconcile that course with
"honor and with his duty to his country
'and to posterity." But the attempt to
sheer down the proofs of wrong doing
which are presented, the attempt to treat
such a statesman as Senator Sherman as
il he were sort OF benighted Bourbon,
behind the age, and trying to win continued
confidence by dwelling upon dead issue,
is handled by Senator Hoar with singular
effectiveness. After showing Senator
Shermau's part in resumption, and in all
the practical work of the Republican
party. he SAYS: I'VE might perhaps give
sup his brother William to these critics.

The only reliable remedy that we ever found
is Johnson's Anodyne Liniment.
Nearly all diseases that sfflict humanity
originate in the stomach, liver or bowels, and
might be prevented if people would use
little common sense: but they will not. They

The shocking explosion in the Solar
Iron Works at P.ttsburg is apparently due
to lack of proper inspection of the steam
boilers. The end of the mud-drum blew
ont, and it was then found to be eaten
down to the thirty second part of an inch
in thickness. Frequent inspection would
have discovered this weakness, and the ia
tai explosion might then have been pre-
vented.

RnIldinr a Han-stach.

The great point to be secured in stacking
hay is, to keep the center the highest. If
this is done, water cannot penetrate into the
stack. but will find its way to the outside
under the most unfav orable circumstances.
If on the other hand, the center is hollow,
the water must drain into the center, and so
ruin the stack. An excellent way to build
a stack is to set a tall sapling firmly in the
ground, with a foundation Of rails around
it; then begin at the center, and place the
hay about the pole, gradually spreading,
until the edge of the base is reached. Con-
tinue building up the stack, the highest in
the center around the pole, the builder
standing in the center so as to tread the hay
firmly there. As the stack settles, the out
side sinks more than the center, and helps to
make the stack better. The top Of the stack
is finished by fastening a covering of hay to
the pole, with hay bands wound firmly
around it. A stack so made will not leak,
and aver clover hay may be safely stacked
in this manner, because Ghs water must make
its way to the outside by force of gravity,
and escape there by dropping to the ground
clear OF the stack.

BeeOher on Butter Cloths

Il Is not known to many Of our readers
that forty years ago Henry Ward BeecheF
was eiitor Of an agricultural paper in In
dianapoliA Here is some Of his wisdom,
which Is as pat now a it was then. Do any
farmers wives in our part Of the world
make their customers eat butter cut of old
undergarmentsI
1.-THE comparative degrees IF butter ara
horrible, bad, tolerable. We seldom see any
butter in the market which merits a higher
term. Vast quantities exposed for sale and
bought upon compulsion, and eaten through
dire necessity, would, in New York or
Philadelphia, never be quoted as but
ter, but only as grease. Sour, bitter
cream, from dirty receptacles, yields
butter depraved from the very churn,
but lard being added and butter
milk not subtracted, it travelsto market in
hot weather, and its charms are exposed in a
very melting mood. Oh, for a reformation
in the daryl While old farmers hunt good
breeds Of cows, we hope young farmers will
find q breed Of wives who shall know that
there Is such a virtue as cleanliness. The
practice of rolling butter in linen CLOTHS j.
not good. In warm weather it sticks, and
in all weather butter takes a peculiar taste
from the cloth. Besides, though we believe
in saving old shirts, we don't like ths econ
omy Of tearing them up for butter-rags. AT
any rate, it behooves us to know out IT whose
undsrgarment we are eating, for, We sup
pose, even cannibals have a choice Of what
men they shall eat"

DR.. JOSEPH HoLT, referred to il
connection with the reported yellow
fever case In New Orleans, reported In
our last issue, has been for some years
President OF the State Board Of Health,
and has made q special study Of con-
tagious and infectious diseases, es-
pecially the saffron scourge. In an adj
dress delivered last winter In opposi-
tion to the conventional method Of
quarantine, DR.. Holt stated, with en-
phasis, that yellow fever was a perma~
nent guest Of New Orleans and South
ern Louisiana, its Pbiding place being
as definite there as il Cuba; but at
moSpheric and hygrometric conditions
do not so frequently combine to WITTY
the germs In the climate Of New Or
leans as in that Of Havana. Instead
Of the recognized quarantine, which
crippIes trade and travel without ar
resting that disease. DR.. Holt favored
a quick and thorough disinfection Of
vessels and afterward an immediate
license to depart.--Courier-Journal

A gentleman travelling in New South
Wales discovered one Of the most curious of
natures freaks in vegetation. It was a
group Of bottle trees. Do they not look like
1t in shape9 1t might be a round bottle with
a bunch Of lilacs stuck into it. Australia Is
a country full of strange things, but here is
certainly one Of the oldest of them all.
There were nine trees in the group. They
were from thirty-fve to sixty feet high.
They are Of immense bulk around, too. DR..
Bennett measured one that was thirty-hve
feet In circumference. The trees are Gov
cred with long, sharp leaves. 1,,
These strange growths were never known
until about 1874 When the bark is tapped
a sweet sap flows from it. something like
sugar-water, only more gunmy. 1t u re
freshing drink The bottle trees ara old,
very old. They are believed to have been
growing there, just as they are, for thou
sands Of years Before there were any human
beings at all in those regions it is thought
they we're there, looking down upon the
strange monsters that peopled the earth and
wa.ers In those ages.

A Rabbits Eye.

New York Herald.
It is said, though we rather hesitate
to accept the story, that DR.. ChIbret, a
famous French oculist, has transferred
a rabbits eye to the empty socket Of
young girl. The last report was that
the eye had retained its vitality and
was doing as well as could be expected.
How the young girl is getting on.
however, deponent saith not.
If this experiment shall prove sue
cessful it will inaugurate a new era In
the science of optics, and enable us to
see things as we cannot see them now.
John Roach, for instance, could re-
move one Of the eyes Of Secretary
Whitney and put into its place one Of.
his own blazing orbs. Then IL he
could pursuade Mr.. Whitney to close
the other eye, and look at the Dol
phin with the John Roach eye.
a disagreeable controversy would
come to a satisfactory conclu-
sion at once. He could see that noble
vessel ploughing the placid waters Of
Long Island Sound al the rate Of six
teen knots an hour, and he could per-
ceive at once. what Roach has known
all along that the United States does
not need a cruiser, but only an excur-
sion boat for the delectatiOn Of the
Advisory Board. The difficulty with
Mr.. Whitney is that he has the wrong
eyes in his head.

$50, that's one way Of catching a monkey"
said Mamma Hanley, shutting her book
"They haven't got much sense, then said
Herbie. If they had, they'd pull their
paws out and turn the bottle downside up
n get the corn that why. Iguess that's a
fish story about amonkey, mamma. Idon't
believe they'd be SO foolish. / don't believe
anything would"
For answer, Mamma Hanley did a funny
thing. She took a china vase of the mantle
piece and dropped a piece Of candy in it, and
set 1t where the 16-monthsol baby, May,
would see it.
Then they all watched her-Mamma Han
ley and Bee and Lulu and Herbie.
Baby Mays bright eyes soon spied tie
vase, in a minute the candy. She put in her
wee hand, but when it was doubled into a
wee fist, with the candy in it, she couldn't
get it out And she wouldn't, no she would
not let go the candy.
"How about the monkey story, Herbie|
asked Mamma Hanley, and they all began
to laugh. Come, baby, open your hand
noW.n
But baby wouldn't open her hand; she
wanted the candy. The poor little wrist
got red, and pretty soon the baby began
to cry, and still she kept her fist doubled
tight up.
II believe I'll have to break the vase"
said Mamma Hanley; and l really think she
would If the baby hadn't just then thumsed
it against the table leg, and shivered IL in
pieces herself.
"DareI' said she; and so she got her
candy.
"Wel monkeys and babies are all the
same,' said Herbia
But Mamma Hanley doesn't think so.

Cooking Tomatoes.

Here also is Mr.. Beecher's recipe for cook
ing tomatoes. He said: Begin by parboil-
ing two onions. While this is being done
peel the tomatoes, which is easily done after
hot water has bean poured over them; cut
them up and add the onions, also a ~teacupful
and a half Of bread crumbled fine, a table,
spoonful of salt, a heaping teaspoonful Of
black pepper, a lump Of butter of the size Of
a turkeys egg, or about four tablespoonfuls.
Beat these thoroughly together and set them
over a slow fire gradually to stew. They
should cook slowly and for a long time,
never less than three bours, but the longer
the better. About fifteen minutes before
they are - be used beat up SIX eggs and stir
them in, and put them on fresh Goals and
give them one grand boil up, stirring them
all the time. When so cooked" wrote Mr..
Beecher, mo directions will DO needed how
to eat them.
