RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION 10 WEEKLY wcRLr

According to the Washington Post,
the Postmaster General is receiving
complaints from the newly appoint
ed fourth-class Democratic postmas-
ters all over the country that they are
being boycotted by the Republicans.
The later are accused of supplying
themselves stamps from the large
cities and of mailing their letters on
the cars In some places, also they
have banded together and refused to
rent boxes, and adopted other "freeze
OUT methods. The income of a
iourth-class postmaster depends upon
his cancellation and sale of stamps,
and consequently this method of boy
'cotting, il presisted in, would deprive
such officers of a good share of their
legitimate pay. 1t cannot be claimed
'nat this is very manly way to ex-
press disgust with Democratic ma
uohal administration, but the worri-
ment it gives these newly made post
masters, who imagined their troubles
were at an end when they received
'helr appointments, will not escape
tne sense of humor of the American
people. And Postmaster General
Was proposes to dignity these COM
paints by calling the attention of
congress to them. l&

SOME ONE AT THE DOOR

Awake o hearth and sleep no NOR
There's some one knocking at the door;
His feet have come weary way;
And still abide your long delay.
Though chilling dews have wet his locks
He patient stands, and gently knocks,
Your silence grievcs him. Rise, o heart,
Unbar the door lest Christ depart.
For Chr st IL Ia who deigns to stand
And ask for what he might demand--
An open door, a ready scat,
A welcome for his presence sweet.
He comes to save you by his grace;
He comes to bring you heavens place.
Awake q heart and sleep no morei
There's some one knocking mt the door.

Potato Wisdom.

Potatoes are three. fourths water.
The solid matter consists largely
Of starch, with a small quantity OF
albumen and mineral matter held
in solution in the juice. The guam
tity of starch increases during the
autumn and remains stationary
during the winter. The sprouts
i'm potatoes should be removed as
soon as they appear, since if they
are allowed to grow they exhaust
the starch and render the potatoes
unfit for food. Potatoes should be
kept in a dry, cool cellar. Potatoes
belong to the same poisonous Orde:
as tobacco and nightshade, and
contain an acid juice which is I'M
pleasant to the taste and often rem
ders them indigestible. This lies
in and near the rind of the potato,
and is drawn out by the heat.
When the potatoes are baked it
escapes in the steam, if they are
opened at once, and when they are
boiled it is absorbed by the water.
Potatoes when first peeled are
white, but turn brown on exposure
to the air. For this reason they
should be covered with cold water
as soon as they are peeled. New
potatoes are watery, as the starch
is not fully formed, and they have
a very thin skin, which may be
rubbed or scraped of. Boiled po-
tatoes should be served as soon as
they are soft, and should be skin.
ned the moment the heat bursts all
the starch grains-which may east
ly be determined by their soft tex
ture when pierced with fork-else
the starch win absorb water, and
the potatoes become pasty and I'M
wholesome. To prepare the pota-
toes a Ia neige select potatoes OF a
UNIFORM size wash them and scrub
them with a brush kept for the pur-
pose; pare them and put them i'm.
mediately in cold water. Put them
into boiling sailed water, allowing
one quart of water and one table
spoonful OF salt for large potatoes.
Cook half an hour, or until soft
but, not until broken drain OF
every drop Of water. When they
are well drained and mealy beat
them thoroughly with a fork, aid
salt to taste, and serve at once
piled lightly on hot dish.

gcEIss AID SOSTING APPLES.

naaeon L. W. Weeks of MarlbO-
rough, gives bis method of harvest
ing winter apples. He selects
enough large sized barrels to fill
spring wagon; takes them to the
orchard for filing uses handle
baskets to pick in, that are small
enough to turn over inside the
barrels. Have the pickers I'LL their
small baskets, which can be care
fully emptied into the barrels
without bruising the fruit. Even
eggs can be poured from a basket
if one knows how to do it. The
barrels are not filled quite full, as
they are handled easier and no
apples are spilled by hitting the
barrels into the wagon, or by I'M
loading them again. AT the barn
or cellar, the barrels are taken from
the wagon by two men, one on
each side, and are carefully em2t-
led upon the ground or floor, for
sorting and barreling for market.
BY this method the apples can
be picked and placed in the barn
or cellar ready for sorting, very
rapidly and without bruising, and
the pickers have no responsibility
about selection, as the apples are
picked clean from the tree. In
harvesting fall apples that are to
be sold Immediately, if the quality
is good, the picking and sorting
are done at one operation, all IN
ferior fruit being left on the tree,
or dropped upon the ground.
Mr.. Weeks objects to pouring ap-
pies upon the ground under the
trees, to be sorted, as the grass Is in
the way of picking, and when
carried direct from the orchard to
the barn or cellar, the sorting and
barreling can go on during rainy
weather, or before the dew would
be of in the morning. lie finds
that it pays in the long run to sort
well, putting in no inferior speci-
mems. A good reputation here as
elsewhere is worth attaining and
keeping.-New England Farmer.

1t is said that by cen triiugal
force the cream can be IN ore thor
oughly separated from the milk
than by skimming, and perfectly
fresh cream and skim milk are pro-
duced. This is a very important
consider alton to the dairy farmer.
He wants all the cream to make
butter, but also needs the milk
fresh and sweet for feeding to his
young calves. In this way as
much or more butter can be made
and the calves do much better
than when the milk is allowed to
become sour before skimming, as
in the old process Of making but

OFFICE RULES.

The following simple rule
should be placed in a conspicuous
placed in every editorial room IN
the country, for the guidance Of
visitors:
We have plenty of time-it's
money we are after.
None but chestnut vendors al
lowed to remark, smiling, to the
editor using his scissors, All writ
ing original editorials!'
When the visitor says he be-
lieves it is time for him to go, it is
consistent to show his faith by his
works.
Always ask what the circulation
is now.
fyou want to please the editor,
never compliment what he has
written, but praise what he has
clipped from an exchange.
Ii you don't find a chair handy,
sit on the editorial desk.
Don't hesitate to speak to the
editor when he is writing; you
may catch brilliant thought, hot
from the wires, so to speak.
Never subscribe until pressed to
do so, and then remark casually TO
send the bill around some time.
Don't fail to look over what
proof and copy may be on thedesk.
This may prevent serious error.
BY all means, suggest to the edi-
tor how the paper should be run.
They all do it.
When you want an exchange
down in the bottom of the basket,
never accept the editors invitation
to look for it. Assume a helpless
expression, and let him waste his
time digging it out for you.
Always ask if the fighting editor
is in. This is not a chestnut out
side of the guild.
Come again.
Good.by.- Merchant-Traveler.

Humanity 10 Work Animals Worthy EIam-
pie by a Negro.

A farmer living near Vicksbnrg,
Miss, noticed that most of the OK
teams that hauled cotton from the
country to vicksburg were roughly
treated. The long whips of the
drivers were often severely applied
to poorly fed animals. The drivers
seemed to take a savage delight IN
their skin in cracking and display
ing their whips, and in the severity
with which they could apply them
to their prosecuted teams.
An old negro had an excellent
team, and he usually hauled two
bales at load more than the other
teams. His oxen were fat and al
ways looked comfortable and con-
tented. On being asked why his
oxen looked so much better than
the others, and at the same time
hauled larger loads, the negro re-
Piled that he never whipped or
scolded his oxen, always watered
aud fed them well, never let them
suffer for want ofanything-that he
loved his oxen, and they loved him ;
and that's all the reason he knew
why his oxeHIooked so we'll satisf-
ed, were so fat, and hauled larger
loads than the other oxen. The
greatest sin of even Christian ma
tons is their cruelty to their do
nestle animals, and set cruelty is
an element that leads to poverty,
and humanity leads to thrift as
proved by the example Of the negro
and his fine OK team.

There is nothing better as a drink
for the thirsty than plenty of sweet
skim.milk ; it is nourishing, cooling
and satisfies thirst, and what else
can do as much ? 1t will pay any
farmer having four or five cows and
a lot ofhired men at work, to build
an ice.house and procure a creamer
Just on purpose to have the milk
to drink while it is fresh. With
the use of ice and deep setting, the
milk strained at milking time in
the morning will be so separated
from the cream at the bottom by
the time of going to work, that the
jug can be filled without the
loss Of cream or interference with
its rising. This can be continued
as often as the jugs are emptied
until the milk is exhausted. Our
men on the farm drink all the
milk that can be spared them, and
it does them a heap of good. But,
remember, there is a wide difference
between skim.milk only few hours
from the COW produced by deep
cold setting and the oldfashioned
blue skim.milk of the shallow
pans.
