MaIne's PrOhlbliOry Law.

A dispatch from Portland says; The new Prohibitory law has gone into effect Drummers can no longer solicit orders for liquors. On this point the law is very emphatic. The next im- portant change is one intended 10 pre- vent a liquor dealer from concealing the fact of his guilt by destroying his stock. No fine is imposed in cases of intoxica- ton. Drunkards will be imprisoned from five to thirty days for first offence, and from ten 10 ninety days for second offence. Gen. Dow believes that very little good will result from those and other changes made by the last Legislature in the prohibitory laws. It is reported that "bottle carriers" have again become quito numerous. These men have only bottle at a time, from which they peddle out drinks. of course they are liable to arrest

How to Make an Omelet.
SOME PLAIN DIRECTIONS FOR PROPER
 PREPARATION AND COOKING.

As a rule, an omelet is wholesome and inexpensive dish, yet one in the preparation of which cooks frequently fail, owing to carelessness of detail. With little attention the housewife can easily become the perfect cook in this branch as we'll as others. The favor ing and the ingredients of omelets may be varied indefinitely, but the principle is always the same. In making an ome- let care should be taken that the omelet pan is hot and dry. To insure this put a small quantity of lard into the pan, let it simmer few minutes and remove it, wipe the pan dry with towel and put in little fresh lard, in which the ome- let may be fried. Care should be taken that the lard does not burn, which would spoil the color of the omelet.
 It is better to make two or three small omelets than one very large one, as the latter cannot be well handled by novice. The omelet made of three eggs is the one recommended for begin ners. Break the eggs separate put them into bowl and whisk them thor oughly with a fork. The longer they are beaten, the lighter will the omelet be. Beat up teaspoonful of milk with the eggs, and continue to beat until the last moment before pouring into the pan, which should be over g hot fire. As soon as the omelet sets, remove the pan from the hottest part of the fire. Slip knife under it to prevent sticking to the pan. When the center is almost firm, slant the pan, work the omelet in shape to fold easily and neatly, and, when slightly Drowned, hold platter against the edge of the pan and deftly turn it out on to the hot dish. -
 Salt mixed with the eggs prevents them from rising, and when it is so used the omelet will look habby, yet without salt it will taste insipid. Add little salt to it just before folding and turning it out on the dish.-Tte Cook. @ r. q

A Narrow Escape.

Not long ago dynamite drummer" put fifty pounds of that explosive in a cheap trunk and checked it, at the Grand Central Depot, New York city, for some Northern mines. While the por- ters were conveying the trunk to a bag gage-car the cover was knocked loose, and several of the cartridges rolled out on the platform. Presently he came up to look after his property, and was asked, timorously, what the cartridges were.
 "Oh," he replied, in an impatient tcne, "don't you know what mining candles are9 Give me some rope, and I'll tie up this trunk.
 The rope was procured, the escaped cartridges were returned to their inclos- ure, and the "baggage' was sent safely to it's destination.

When are Women Old I

"when does a woman begin to grow old ?" was latoly asked in an assembly of French women, who are said to be even more afraid of UieiHir than the wo. men of other countries, although from the nervous concealment of their age one should imagine even in this country that not to remain eternally young was a thing to be ashamed of. "With tho first gray hair" suggested one of tho ladies, and "When she ceases to inspire love" thought another. The decision was finally put to a charming white haired maiden of some 70 years. who at once replied, "what do know about itP You must ask an old woman to an. swer you such a question" Which shows that at least one among tho ladies had the right recipe for remaining young.

Grants Plain Dress.

During the war, even when Con- mander-in- Chief, Gen. Grant went about wearing an old slouch hat and com- mon soldiers blue overcoat, worn and dingy one at that. When advancing on the rear of Vicksburg he gave orders to his army to ''move light" His personal example gave emphasis to his order. The only "baggage" he took with him was briar-root pipe, tooth brush and horn pocket-comb.
 At City Point, his headquarters the last winter of the war, the General lived in a two-roomed log hut in the greatest possible simplicity. Nine-tenths of the captains in his army lived more luxuri- ously. His food was that of the com mon mess of the officers. A huge fire was built outdoors in front of the hut, and before this, wrapped in his old over coat, with two or three of his staff about him, the General liked best of all to sit. Toward the last, unknown to himself, these devoted friends watched him night and day. Plots against his life had been formed-an attempt to blow up his head quarters with torpedo had almost suc- ceeded. In the final days the General became sleepless, and sometimes sat under the stars in the cold night till and o'clock in the morning. His staff made a private plan to take turns in remaining up with him. Even when he threw himself upon his camp-bed one or the other of the faithful friends watched in front of the log-cabin door. "He never knew of this," says Badeau, "but we often bargained with one another fol an hour or two of rest"
 The Generals wife and children spent part of the tedious months with him ir the loR-cabin.

Three days after ward he was found again. 'I read that to her," he observed, sadly, land she said she never said anything of the kind"

An Eyewitness of Lees Surrender.

Colonel Charles Marshall, Chief of General Lees staff, speaking of the sur- render at Appomattox and of the meet ing of Generals Grant and Lee, says:
 When shown into the room General Grant advanced and shook hands with General Lee. The Federal Commander was in undress uniform, and without side arms, while General Lee was in fun uniform. General Grant, by way of apology to General Lee for coming with out his side arms, said that his sword was with his baggage, and because of hi- desire to reach the place for the confers ence he had hastened on in undress uni form. This was the only allusion to a sword that was made at the interview. After the terms of surrender were settled General Grant explained that he was ad- vised that General Lees forces had a number of Federal prisoners who, like their captors, were out of rations. Gen. Sheridan said that he could supply 25, 600 rations. General Grant then in- structed him to send 25, 1000 rations to General Lees commissary. After the interview General Lee asked for General Williams and thanked that officer for kindness shown his son, General Custis Lee, who had been captured several days before. When General Lee and Colonel Marshall rode off the Federal of
 ficers filled the front porch. Colonel Marshall is not sure that General Grant was among them, for his thoughts were busy with other matters at the time. {.

 ImaaInntiOns a Benefit.

City officials of HIOberIy, Mo, Give their
 1maxinntiOns Benefit.
 The city of Moberly, Mo-, is stirred up over a wonderful buried city, which was discovered at the bottom of a coal shaft 360 feet deep which was being sunk near Moberly. A hard and thick stratum of lava arches in the buried city, the streets of which are regularly laid out and inclosed by walls of stone, which is cut and dressed in fairly good although rude style of masonry. A hall 30x106 feet was discovered, wherein were stone benches and tools of all de- scriptions for mechanical service. Fur ther search disclosed statues and images made of composition closely resem- bling bronze, lacking luster.
 A stone fountain was found in wide court or street, and from it stream of perfectly pure water was flowing, which, upon being tasted, was found to be strongly impregnated with lime. Lying beside the fountain were portions of the skeletons of human being. The bones of the leg measured, the femur, four and one-half feet, and the tibia, four feet and three inches, showing that when alive the figure was three times the size of an ordinary man, and possessed of wonderful muscular power and quick ness. The head bones had separated in two places, the sagittal and the coronal suture having been destroyed. The i'm. plements found embrace bronze and flint knives, stone and granite hammers, metallic saws of rude workmanship but proved metal, and others of similar character. They are not 80 highly polished nor so accurately made as those now finished by our best mechanics, but they show skill and an evidence of an advanced civilization. .".s...
 The searching party spent twelve hours in the depths, and only gave up explorations because of the oil in their lamps being low. The facts are vouched for by MT. David Coates, the Recorder of the city of Moberly, and MT. George Heating, City Marshal, who were of the exploring party. A further ex- tended search will be made in day or two.

THE OLD MILL.

Here from the brow of the hill look Through a lattice of boughs and leaves On the old gray mill with it's gambrel roof, And the moss on it's rotting caves, I hear the chatter that jars it's walls, And the rushing waters sound, And see the black floats rise and fall As the wheel goes slowly round. I rode there often when was young, With my grist on the horse before, z And talked with Nellie, the miller's girl, As waited my turn at the door. And while she tossed her ringets brown, And fiirted and chatted so free, The wheel mightstop or the wheel might go It was all the same to me. 'Iis twenty years since last stood
 On the spot where stand to-day, . And Nellie is wed and the miller isdesd, And the mill and are gray. But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck, To our fortunes of toll are bound, And the man goes and the stream flows, And the wheel moves slowly round.

Dakota legislators and politicians are not
supposed to be often guilty of freaks like
this recorded by the Scotland Citizen: Abe
Van osdel, member Of the house from the
Iankton district. received five annual passes
from as many different railroads in Dakota.
and the Yankton Herald says that ''Honest
Abe" sent them all back, preferrng to be
relieved from tine obligations which he be-
lieved the reception of the passes would
subject him. Hon. B. r. Wagner, member
of the council from this county, also returned
the pass sent him by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee IL st. Paul railroad. The reason lie re-
turned it was because it read 'good on lines
west of the Mississippi river" When the
company sends him one good over all its
lines it will not be returned.

Mr.. Pick,cici;'s Story.

The jamestown Capital says:
THE ST.. PAUL GLOBE is booming Denny
Hanniin for governor. Denny is the man
who was Hancock's personal adviser in 1880,
and is one of the most successful poker play
ers on the Missouri slope. Such distinction
as this should not go wholly unrewarded.
Hannifn is one Of the earliest and repre-
sentative pioneers on the upper Missouri and
the hero of many Of Stanley Huntiey's writ
ings in eastern publications. In the last
number of D-ake's Travellers magazine we
had an elaborate account of him. Hannifn
is now resident of Emmons county. Re
Gently the editor of a new Democratic paper
wrote him for a list of representative Demo-
Gratis. Hannifin replied that there vas but
one in the county, and he walked twenty
five miles in order to vote in November.
Dennis is not an office seeker, but if he is
wanted for governor, he is too patriotic TO
refuse to serve, although he does not enjoy
the ways of alleged civilization. He is sort
OF Daniel zone and prefers the society of
buffaloes and Indians.
