The entertainment given by the

the programme by singing the beau

with wreaths and festoons OF flowers

ties. hence old bachelors and young
sprigs were relieved of considerable
cash, but they had the consolation OF
knowing that it was spent in good
cause, and were only sorry that they
had not more to spend. We have
not learned what the proceeds OF
the entertainment amounted to, but

establishments at one time, paying
cash for everything, and availing our

He hath gone to Arkansaw, sire" D"
And is the fever and ague bad in
Arkansaw this year Daniel?"
Exceedingly bad, sire"
KnOwest thou, Daniel, of case
wherein the fever and ague of Arkan-
saw hath been fatal?"
AYE, that I do, master; many such
cases are on record"
All, we'll, Daniel, do thou write a
friendly letter to the secretary telling
him in my name that l will look after
the electric interests of the Government

Daniel-much levity doth not become

mark that l cherish the hope that the
ague of Arkansaw will save me the
trouble ofgiving the eminent Attorney

Famishing Flies.

A fly cannot sustain active life with
out drink. If you do not give him his
drink he must go where it is and find
it. If for fOrty-eight hours you can
keep every drop of liquid from the
room the flies in it will leave. But the
prohibition is absolute. A drop of dew
on rose leaf, still more the congealed
breath on the window pane gives quite
as much fluid as the thirsty little fly
will ask for. But good housekeeper
will remember this rule, so as never to
leave a pitcher of water uncovered in
a room in which she wishes to place a
guest. And she will carefully cover
any other cup, mug, glass or other YES
sci which contains liquids.-Middle-
tO'On (Va.) Rural Progress.

Hints to Housekeepers.

Stewed beefsteaks: Roll with a roll
ing pin, flour, season, and fry with
sliced onion to light brown then lay
them in a stew-pan, pour as much boil
ing water as will serve for sauce, stew
for half an hour, and add spoonful of
catsup before serving.
Chicken jelly for invalids: To a
quart of cold water put half a raw
chicken cut up fine; let it stand an
hour, then boil slowly till it is reduced
to half the quantity; season with salt
and pepper, if allowed by the doctor.
Strain it through a colander first, then
through a cloth into a mold.
A delicious cream omelet is made by
mixing together six eggs, one cupful of
sweet, thick cream and a tablespoonful
of flour. Mix the flour smooth in a
little of the cream then add the rest,
beat the yOlks of the eggs; when light,
stir in the frOthed whites, turn into the
buttered pan, and cook quickly.
To salt sweet corn The corn is boil
ed, then cut off the cobs. Half an inch
of salt is put in the bottom of an earth
en- jar, on top of which two-inch layer
Of corn is placed; fill the jar with alter
nate layers, leaving salt on top. A
rather clOse-ftting cover is weighted
down over it. 1t will keep for years,
and when freshened and cooked with a
little sugar it is equal to the best can
ned article.

FACTS Pre- EJUDTCE

Prejudice is hard to combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years.
FOrinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed so
before them. So did their grandfathers:
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, Notwithstanding this prejudice.
but the trouble is to make people think so.
The only wayne know to meet popular IN.
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS. and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. It is a fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof Of it too. 1t
comes from those who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been COM
pletely cured by this remedy. -Allwho have
tried it have had this experience. Some of
them permit us to print their testimony. 1t

Under the date of August 10th, the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington makes up the crop report for
the country, and sums up the wheat
yield for 1886 as Opproximating the crop
of last year; but the corn crop estimate
has fallen off about twenty per cent.
The great decline comes from the great
corn States west of the Mississippi
Illinois and Wisconsin. Europe's
wheat crop is reported as ten per cent.
less than last year, which will require
an additional part of the crop of this
country to make up.
