What to Take to Picnics.
Miss Parloa in the Boston Beacon.

Miss Parloa in the Boston Beacon.
At this season Of the year the ques.
ton arises 50 frequently that a few
suggestions may unacceptable. Many
people lose sight of the fact that good
bread and butter and cold meat are
articles of which there should be an
ample supply, even at the cost going
without some delicacies. A small
spirit lamp will enable one to get, with
very little trouble, a cup Of hot tea,
coffee or chocolate. Here is a short
list of good things from which to make
selections for aluncheon in the woods:
Buttered thin bread, buttered rolls,
pressed chicken, broiled chicken,
tongue, ham, pressed corned beef, sar-
dimes, stuffed eggs, hard-boiled eggs,
broiled smoked salmon, pickles, olives,
crackers and cheese, orange marma-
lade, hard gingerbread, cake, cold COT
fee, cold tea, lemonade. There are
many fruit sirups which, mixed with
cold water, make palpatable drinks.
Lemon juice for lemonade should be
extracted at home and carried to the
picnic grounds in bottles. The sugar
may be put with it or added with the
water when the lemonade is wanted.
When ice can be transported the bill OF
fare may be improved greatly. For
example, salads may be packed in ice
and they will be found tempting when
dinner is announced. Ice cream and
sherbet also will make the meal seem a
hundred per cent better on hot day,
and little ice in the lemonade will
make it SO much more refreshing as to
repay one TOR the trouble of carrying
the ice. But have good bread and
butter anyway. til we'll to distribute
crackers and cheese among the party
on first reaching the ground, so as to
relieve amy feeling of faintness.

Singular Conduct of a Horse.

A physician possessed a beautiful
bay mare called Jenny, remarkable for
sweet temper and pretty loving ways.
She was a great favorite with the doc
tors daughters, and would "shake
hands" when asked, and kiss them in
the most engaging manner, with a sort
OF nibbling motion Of her blacklips up
and down the face. She would follow
any one she liked about the fields, an
swer to her name like adog, and would
always salute any of her favorites on
seeing them with that low 'hummer-
ing sound so common withpe horses,
but never from those subject to ill
treatment. But with all these graces,
the pretty and interesting Jenny had
several pueciar antipathies, in one of
which she somewhat resembled a dog
Wag, and that was q marked dislike
to the singing voice Of one particular
person, a lady, a relative OF the doc
tors. This lady often went to feed
Jenny with lettuce or apples, and they
where always the best Of friends; but
SO sure as she began to sing anything,
Jenny Instantly forgot her good man
ners, lost all propriety and exhibited
the usual signs Of strong equine dis
pleasure, although she never took the
smallest notice OF the singing or whist
ling OF any other person, treating it APP
parently with Indifference. One day
as the doctor was driving this lady
out, he suggested, by way of expert
ment, that she should begin to sing.
In moment Jenny ears where down
Hat, and a great kick was delivered
with a hearty goodwill on the front of
the carriage, and more would, doubt
less have followed had not the lady
prudently stopped short in her vocal
efforts, when Jenny was herself again,
and resumed her usual good behavior.

OUR NATIONALD DEBT.

Cor. Cincinnati Times-Star.

Cor. Cincinnati Times. Star.
The decrease ofthe public debt in the
fiscal year will be over $50, 100000.
This Is not SO great as in former years,
but it is faster than we generally sup
pose. Five million of dollars a month
is 100000 a day, or S1OO minute.
That Is pretty rapid rate at which to
be extinguishing the public debt, in
spite OF the people who are crying all
the time that our debt is growing less
in an imperceptible way.
People who are in the habit fgroan-
ing about our debt being something
great to bear will do well to inquire
about the debts Of othernations. Take
Italy, for instance. Her debt is over
50, OOO, 100000, or about three times
AS much per head as our own. Russia,
who is apparently eager for war, has a
debt OF So, 500, OOO,OOO
Great Britain, whose population is
but 80, OOO,OOO against our 56,OOO,-
600, has adebt of about four times as
much per head as we have, and vet
Great Britain is supposed to be excen-
tionally well Off France, brilliant and
elastic France, whose recovery from %
terrible war a few years ago has been
the wonder Of the world, is CARRYING a
debt OF 81, 75O,OOO,0OO, or five times
as much per head as our country is
carrying. Our debt is about S25 per
head all round, that OF Russia almost
$40 per head, that ofItaly nearly s75
per head, that OF Great Britain SlOO
apiece, and that of France aboutSl3O
per citizen. The interest charged on a
debt OF this sort is something enor-
nous, more than the people can stand
under for any great length of time.
vi our debt only a little over a bill
ION bears interest, or to be exact ST.
1876, $50. OF this only as much
as s25O,OOO,OOO bears as much as
4 per cent. interest. It is interest,"
ing to see how much money remains in
the treasury unclaimed, after the in

was now up to fever heat. Generally
he IS q mild-tempered man, with a
constitutional tendency to peace. He
never could stand quiet and see
woman or child abused though, and
he tackled that madened brute withas
little conjunction as he would have
trampled the life out OF a snake orrat.
4 knocked him down, kicked him q
time or two in the ribs, and mopped
up the floor with him in a way that
sobered him so he fairly roared for
mercy. Never gave a man such an I'M
merciful thrashing In my life before.
And all this time his wife, her lace as
white as death and holding out her
arms implering, begged for mercy on
his cowardly hide.
That was womanlike too.
ssNow you get a team and move this
stuff likely!" said, as / let him crawl
up off the floor.

in a tremble, assured her he had nev-
er had anything do him as much good

Bold and Successful Robbery.


Friday night burglars broke into the
grocery store of George Hawkins & Co.,
and opened the safe by drilling hole
and forcing the combination of the lock
with some sharp pointed instrument.
The safe contained about 5000 in money
and notes and mortgages amounting to
some $500, all of which the burglars
secured. In the morning, however, G..
Manning, fireman on the st. Paul road,
found the drawer with the notes sd
other papers near the railroad bridge, and
they were promptly returned. A portion
of the money stolen belonged to St.
PauPs church. but this loss will be made
good by MIR. Hawkins, who is treasurer
of the church. The burglars. before the
robbery, stole tools from the wagon shop
of Prochazka & Whyte, with which to
do their work. With the exception of
one or two they left all the tools after
them. The robbers effected an entrance
into the store BY prying open window
at the rear, and the entire job shows
that genuine cracksmen were engaged in
it. AS usual there is no clew to the
perpetrators of this daring and successful
robbery.
