Prospects of the Fruit Business

There is at the present time, a FEELING

been less than the price Of picking them,

AFTERNOON.
EVENING.
SATURDAY.


Saturday was known as children's day
at the Monona Lake assembly, at Lake
side. The regular early morning devo-
tional exercises were INDUCED in. At
about 1870 possession of children
formed, numbering not less than five
hundred, and to the music of Lueders'
band, march was made about the
grounds. After this feature, which
brought real enjoyment to theIittle ones,
and TO all, in fact, the regular pro-
gramme was taken up.
The exercises in the afternoon was of a
musical nature, to start with. Signori
Fanelli and Vitale were called out several
times. A lecture by Mrs. Alden (.'Pansy''l
created great deal of merriment. A
lecture by Prof. Holmes kept vast au-
dience in close attention. Lueders' or
chestra entertained the vast throng for
more than an hour.
In the evening the programme was
a MUSCLE one. The gathering at this
time, as during the forenoon and after
noon, was exceedingly large.
About 300 tents are already occupied,
and it is expected that fully $50 will be
occupied before the close.
For the second time in its history,
the Monona Lake Assembly has suffered
from burglary. The large lodging tent,
just opposite the cot tent Office, was en-
tered Thursday night, and two watches
and small amount of money stolen from
the inmates. A couple of suspicious look
ing characters were noticed about the
grounds Thursday afternoon. and it is
presumed that they are the guilty parties.
Pres. Coleman has warned the campers to
be on their guard and the night force of
police has been increased. 1t is not
thought that any of the burglars will at
tempt any more depredations after hav-
ing so thoroughly alarmed the people.
OUNCE trees should be mulched as
protection against extreme heat and cold,
as the roots are small and usually near the
surface. The ounce bears every year,
but requires some care and may be pruned
annually with advantage.

The circulation of sap, says the New
Hampshire Mirror, is like the circulation
of the blood in the human body when
the blood is started from the stommach
where it is made. If this blood is stopp-
ed before it reaches the lungs the blood
becomes poisoned, and produces disease.
So with the potato vine, which, If the
sap be stopped, produces disease called

THE HOUSEHOLD.
FRUIT STAINS.


Fruit stains may be removed by wetting
the spot and placing out in the frost.
FRIED. OYSTERS.
Take large oysters, wash and drain; dip
them into flour; nut in hot frying pan
with plenty of lard and butter; season
with salt and pepper; fry brown on both
sides. Fried in this way they are similar
to broiled oysters.
An omelet may be made with shrimps.
Put half a pint of fresh or canned
shrlmps in pan with a little hot butter,
and toss them about for moment or
two. Season them with little salt and
pepper and a teaspoonful of tomato
sauce. Just before folding the omelet
place the shrimps upon it.
TOMATO oMELET.
Peel four ripe tomatoes and cut or chop
them into little dice. Make heaped
tablespoonful of -four into smooth paste
with little cold milk; add little salt
and pepper, six well-beaten eggs and the
tomatoes; beat the mixture thoroughly,
and fry the omelet in the usual way. 1t
may be folded over if liked, but it must
not be turned. It will require from six
to eight minutes to cook properly.
BREAKFAST CAKE.
One cup of Indian meal, one teaspoon
of salt, and one teaspoOnful of sugar.
Scald the meal, then add two tablespoon
fuls of milk or water, one egg and one
tablespoonful of flour; stir well. Butter
the grlddle, put on large spoonfuls of the
batter and fry until well cooked.
GOOD CUP OF COFFEE.
Good housekeeping gives this rule for
making coffee: "Have coffee finely ground
but grind only the quantity you wish to
use; one part of Mocha to two of Java is
good mixture, Add for each cup of cot
fee one tablespoonful of coffee, and one
cup of water; stir well together, place on
the fire and let coffee come to q boil, then
fill up with boiling water, pour out of
coffee, then pour back into coffee-pot.
Serve with good cream and sugar. This
coffee will be clear, fragrant and enjoy
able. The use of cold water in making
coffee is not fully understood, but it's
superiority will be all at once acknowledge
ed.
WARMED POTATOES.
Chop very finely cold boiled potatoes,
and cook slowly in sufficient fat about
twenty minutes. Do not let them brown
the least particle, but only take out the
raw taste, and become very hot and we'll
mixed together. To one pint of potatoes
allow two tablespoonful of rich milk or
cream and half d raw egg. Beat them
well together; take the potatoes from
the pan, and stir in. Season with pep
per and salt; put in the same pan, and
replace on the fire, first pressing well
down with spoon that they may lie COM
pactly over it's whole surface. Do not
stir them, but let them become nicely
Drowned on the under side, which will be
in about fifteen minutes. Have an oval
dish we'll warmed; place it over the pan,
and then, reversing the position of the
two quickly, there will be sort of potato
omelet in good shape, and nicely Drowned
side on top.

Mr.. Blaine's Great Speech.

| From the Whitehall Chronicle of Sept. 4,
Official paper of Washington county, New
| York.
Mr.. Blaine's Great Speech.
The Hon. James G. Blaine opened the
Maine political campaign at Sebago Lake
with most remarkable speech on Tuesday
of last week. This speech or the state
ments it contains ought TO be placed in the
hands of every voter throughout the country.
He discusses all questions fully and complete
ly and seems to have thoroughly thought out
and comprehended every one of them. Mr..
Blaine is a man with a head on his shoulders.
He is man of positive and decided convic-
tions. He had become conversant with pub
lie affairs during his Congressional career
and had been obliged to still more thorough
ly consider them and grasp the principles in
volved in them in the preparation of his
great work. There is no man before the
public to-day who is so completely and per-
fectly equipped for the Office of President of
the United States as Mr.. Blaine. There Is
no one with such well settled convictions and
thorough understanding of principles as he
or one from whom the country would more
freely and confidently accept them. And
that is the kind of man the people will re-
quire for the next President of the United
States. The people are sick and tired of
men who have no such knowledge of princi-
plies or any such deep and we'll settled con-
victions and are without the power to i'm
press them on the country if they had them.
The country is sick and tired OF common
mediocre men who can't get on a higher
plane of craftsmanship than on the mode in
which political appointments shall be made
and whose idea of independence is to ignore
their own party associates and affiliate with
disgruntled mugwumps who are too cranky
to belong to any healthy political organiza-
ton. The country demands leader who has
gone to the very bottom of the questions in
which the public is interested, and has ascer-
tanned the principles on which they rest. 1t
demands man with capacity enough to COM
prehend these questions and with power
enough to impress them on Congress and on
the country. 1t won't be satisfied with men
who have nothing but bull head luck in their
favor. 1t won't be satisfied with unknown
men, obscure men or second rate men. 1t
will demand the greatest man in the country
and that man at the present time is James q.
Blaine. We have room for only a few
extracts from his speech but we commend
them to the consideration of workingmen and
all voters generally.
1t is a mastery speech and every wage
worker and every sincere American who
wishes to see the honor of his country vndi-
Gated should read the speech and get its
contents by heart.
Give us a statesman for President; give
US James G. Blaine.

Mr.. Blaine's speech at Etna, Monday,
was a most powerful rebuke of the iniqui
tous crushing out of the rights of the col
ored people OF the South at the ballot box
by the democrats, and his exposure of the
injustice and fraud upon which their pow
er in the House rests and their electoral
vote is based was enough to startle the
nation. The Boston Herald and other
papers of that sort have been clamoring
for Mr.. Blaine to discuss important nation
al issues. They now have their wish and
let us see how they like it, these purists
and whited sepulchres who are continually
singing praises of the administration OF
