Resources of the Frontier Editor.

81 was showed in once at Bristol, a
little station upon the Northern
Pacific" said man from Cincinnati
to ST. Paul Globe reporter. "It was
in the winter of 1885. We were there
for about five days. We had plenty
to eat, such as it was, but were all
anxious to get something to read.
The large majority of passengers on
the train were men, and we al wanted
late daily paper, but we could not
get it for love nor money.
"There was q little weekly paper
published at Bristol, and it tried to
fill the want. The first day of the
snow blockade the weekly paper was
issued, and nearly every one on the
train took one. [ suppose the paper
had q larger circulation at that time
than it has had since or ever had De-
fore. The editor, proprietor and re-
porter, all IN one, Was g wide-aWake
fellow. He saw that there was q de-
mand for daily paper, so he got one
out every day during our stay. He
came down and got our names and
residences, and published them. This,
of course, made the paper sell. The
next day he got something of our
histories and wrote them Up. The
next day he wrote up how we passed
the time. By this time he had ex-
hausted all his white paper.
"He didn't give up. Not much.
You don't find newspaper man in
the Northwest that will give up for
such little trifes as that, He went
out and got some brown paper, used
in tying up bundles at the grocery
store, and printed his edition on that.
He got all the brown paper and wrap
ping paper in town, and then he went
for the wall paper and printed his last
edition on that. We bought them
every day, more as little souvenirs of
the snow blockade than for anything
else, although I think I read every
thing that was printed, from a recipe
on cookies to the legal notices about
presumption of certain tracts of land.
When we got out of town he resumed
his weekly ISSUE"

The Simple Chinaman's Game.

Som Toy, or Chinese lottery, is a.
very fascinating game, says q writer
in the Brooklyn Eagle. The rules are
simple, the chances more attenuated
than an old maids list of beaux, and
the possible, although improbable,
prizes enormous. For absolute I'M
certainty and contingent good fortune
it beats Louisiana lottery with
Havana variations. Small brown
pieces of paper, about five inches
square, are stamped with 80 char
acters-4O above and 40 below a line
drawn 1aterally through the center.
The 40 characters above and below
the line are distributed in four rows of
ten characters each, SO that in ALL
there are eight rows of characters run
ming across the paper, making the
whole resemble g. miniature tea chest
label. These figures are not mere
marks without intelligent meaning,
but represent the names of 80 beauti-
full and cultivated Chinese ladies who
have hourished during the last 5000
years. The game consists in spotting
out with q stiff brush, which has been
dipped In ink, ten or more of the char
acters. Every day the great lottery
moguls congregate' at the head quarters
of the company and solemly draw the
numbers. Eighty little sticks each bear
ing the name of one of the characters
arethrown into a bowl, and one of the
Cinnamon, while blindfolded, draws
out twenty of them, the names being
recorded as drawn. These characters
are copied upon other slips, and as
soon as the drawing is over the agents
take them and spot out with red ink
the corresponding character. II the
player has caught five out of thetwen-
ty characters drawn he receives 50,
six spots secures him $40, seven $40,
eight $3.50, nine $3.50, and the whole
ten several thousand. Then by the
payment OF larger sums and the max
ing of combinations, prizes as high as
$4,000 may be drawn, but never
one. A mans chance for being struck
by lightning is fair alongside of his
chance for drawing q big prize, and his
chances for collecting one even more
shadowy. But in the payment of
small premiums ranging from So to
$40, the agents are scrupulously hon
est.

An Expensive Revenge.

It seems that hatred, as well as love,
can sometimes overcome the instinct
Misrepresentation. Ayear ago Squire
Palm, of Gumbinnen, in Eastern
Prussia, was drowned during boat
excursion, and q young man who had
tried in vain to save him soon after
married his widow But the la6y's
second marriage now threatens to end
more tragically than the first. There
were family squalls and family storms,
eliminating in mutual examinations,
in which the vixen tongue of the wom-
an must have aggravated her op-
ponent to an unbearable degree, for a
month ago he purchased the sweets of
revenge by the remarkable confession
that PALMS wife had aided him in
fuddling and drowning her first hus-
band. Palms successor knows the
probable result of his confession, but
declares that he cannot forgive his
wife, and prefers to go under for the
pleasure of dragging her along.

A Few Plain Truths.

Egg shells will settle coffee as surely
as eggs, but they do not impart the
richness and flavor.
In warm weather, refrigerator closets
should be washed with soda and cold
water once or twice week.
Pals and all vessels used in chambers
should be rinsed thoroughly in cold
water, never in hot or lukewarm.
Stale lard can be made sweet by
bringing to boil, with slices of cold
raw potatoes thrown in. The inn
purities will rise to the top and can be
skinned off.
Ii one quart of milk is set in cool
place for twenty-four hours, it will
yield enough cream, well whipt with a
Dover eggbeater, to furnish ten cups
of strong coffee.
Pulverized borax, sprinkled on
shelves and in corners of store closets,
is q safeguard from ants. If pulver-
lied borax is mixed with Persian
powder, the powder will be more ef-
fective.
Cold water and plenty OF it, prop
erly applied, with fair amount OF
soap or pearline, is the best thing to
clean kitchen floor. The regulation
"boiler suds" is apt to make a kitchen
floor greasy.
Feather beds and pillows would be
very much freshened and lightened if
left out in drenching rain every
spring; they should then be exposed
to the sun and air on every side until
perfectly dry.
Oilcloths should never be washed in
hot soapsuds; they should first be
washed clean with cold water, then
rubbed dry with g. cloth wet in milk.
The same treatment applies to astone
or slate hearth.
To preserve goods from moths, do
not use camphor in any form. Pieces
of tar paper laid in fur boxes and in
closets are better protection. Five
cents will buy enough to equip all the
packing boxes and closets Of a large
house for year.
Ginghams and prints will keep their
color better if washed in water thick
ened with -four starch. Flour is very
cleansing and will do the work of soap
in one or two washings in the starch
water. This, with the rinsing, will be
sufficient, and the goods will look
fresher than if washed and starched
in the old-fashioned way.
A fine frosting can be made of one
cup of granulated sugar and one-fourth
cup milk, without either egg or gelatine.
Method-Stir sugar into milk over a.
slow fire till it boils; boil five minutes
without stirring; remove from fire; set
saucepan in cold water, Or on ice,
while you stir it to a cream. Spread
on cake while it will run. The advant-
ages OF this frosting are that it will
keep longer than the egg Or eelatine
frosting, and it will cut without break.

Playing Poker.
[From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
ing.

From the st. Louis Globe Democratl
After gambling was abolished in the
state there were q party of US who
used to get together every Saturday
night and play little game of draw
poker, strictly on the quiet. A liking
for the game in me developed into q
fascination, that into passion and
that into a mania. When | once
started to play I never had sense
enough to stop until was broke. I
would firmly resolve to play in only so
much, but never had strength of mind
to keep the resolution. At first tried
leaving so much of my money in the
hands of friend early in the evening,
with strict instructions not to let me
have it until next day. I would lnva-
riably go to him, however, and insist
so strongly that he would become dis
gusted, hand over the cash, and walk
Off. Finally hit on the prize scheme.
I would take just as much of my sala-
ry as / could afford to lose, inclose the
balance in an envelope, direct it to
myself, and put it in the post-ofice.
That was sure thing. There was no
way on earth I could get it until next
morning. After that | never quite
went broke.

FARM AND HOME.
The Ghost Of the f3arret


Only a dusty cradle, worn and carved with
years, - ,f3
Yet oh lhow oft its dust has been washed off
with tears! t+f7
Often mother football sounds on the creak-
ing stair,
Often the sound OF a mothers voice steals
through the garrett bare
Singing an old-time lullaby that she sang in the
long ago, ii
When baby lay in her cradle, and she rocked her
to and fro. r5.
often the dusty cradle is drawn from the or
ner's gIoom, 944
And the sound OF its rafting rockers sweeps
through the deSOlate room;
And then, the weary singer, bowed down by sor-
rows hand,
Sleeps and dreams Of the 'far away" of baby In
heavens land.
Only the ghost OF the garnet, but it lives in her
And the sound of a baby's cooling dwels in her
soul for aye.
Only an old-time song, yet it's singing always
brings
The keenest of all keen anguish as it's melody
heavenward rings.
Only the little cradle, or a curl of golden hair
Yet sweeter far than the present is the nlem'ry
shrined there.
The song with it's loving cadence, the garrett,
dusty and bare
The golden curl, the cooling voice-al1, ali to
mem'ry dear.

ECuuderinG Horses.

Horses are seldom foundered in cold
weather with water. 1t is when the
horses blood is hot that he can be
foundered by standing in cold water
or by drinking large quantities of
water, and then standing still. The
temperature of the stomach is reduced
too suddenly and is chilled, which is
called founder. The sudden reduction
of the temperature stops the circula-
ton of the blood, which stiffens the
body and limbs, from which horse
never entirely RECEIVERS. When travel
ing on the road, although the horse
be very warm, he can with considerable
safety be allowed to drink literally, if
he immediately go forward at the same
gait. as that will keep up the circula-
ton. But if horse is hot and is GO
ing to stand still, not over q swallow
or two should at first be allowed him.
Let him stand and cool before more is
given. And the same is the case with
the human system. We have known
several cases where men have taken
large drinks of cold water when they
were hot, which either proved fatal to
life or rendered them invalids ever aft
er. This is the season of the year
when many noble horse is ruined by
ignorance and carelessness. There is
no danger of feeding horse when hot.
But be careful Of cold water.

just when it is in full bloom. At that
time timothy or clover contains the
greatest amount Of saccharine matter
and other flesh and fat forming ele-
ments. But usually hay cannot all
be cut in day, nor when it is in full
bloom. Hence the necessity of begin
ming early, and then in most cases
haying will not be ended before the
seeds are ripe in the heads. Most per-
sons cut their hay too low. The hard
butts of the stalks are woody and are
seldom eaten. We recollect the old
Saying to the boys when hay was cut
with seythe-"one inch at the butt is
worth five at the top'-was simply
hoary error. If the soil be dry, in the
hot days of haying, when the sun is
suddenly let in on the roots of the
grass, it is very hard on the
vitality OF stubble. The stubble
ought to be at the least two
inches high, and if the ground be dry
with air and sun hot, it would be bet
ter to cut four inches high. It needs
at all times to have all departments
of haying done with careful fore
thought for the present and future
crops. The second crop of clover is
most valuable, if it be treated fairly.
And frequently the aftermath of timo-
thy is worth as much for fall pasture
as the hay crop. To have the second
crop of either what they should be,
the first crop should be cut early, and
not too close, as the hot sun will bake
the ground and dwarf the growth, if it
be exposed in bare condition. Fifty
years ago haylng was aserious matter
on the farm. But with the assistance
of the hay machinery of the present,
the crop can be speedily secured in the
best condition. But in haying "shoot
down on the spot" the first man who
claims eight or even ten hours perday
as enough. Quit only when the hay
is all secure for the night.-Iowa State
Register

A New usa for rnads.

The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid ofroaches and water bugs
we have heard of is related by q citi-
zen of Schenectady whose kitchen was
infested with them.
A servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote caught three ordinary hop
toads, and put them in the kitchen.
Not a roach or water bug, it is stated,
can now be found in the house. The
toads have become domesticated,
never wander about the house, and
are so clearly and inofensive that
there is no objection to their presence.
Another use for toads is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the gar
den. They are determined enemies OF
all kinds Of snails and slugs, which it
is well known can in single night de-
stroy vast quantity of lettuce, car
rots, asparagus, etc. Toads are also
kept in vineyards, where they devour
during the night millions of insects
that escape the pursuit Of nocturnal
birds, and might commit incalculable
havoc on the buds and young shoots
of the vine. In Paris toads are an
article of merchandise. They are kept
in tubs, and sold at the rate of two
francs dozen.

Flow the Meadows.

1t pays to flow meadows. Several
years ago, built dam and flowed g.
meadow containing some twenty
acres. Previous to this time the
meadow was quite uneven and the
grass was light and not of very good
quality. In the spring following 1
drew off the water and let the ice up
on the meadow for day or two, so
that the heft of the ice might settle all
the high punches. Then l shut the
gate and flowed again, and when |
drew off for good the meadow was as
level as a barn floor, and consequent
ly fine moving. I have continued to
flow each year, and the quantity and
quality has continued to improve
each year, and I feel we'll paid for the
expense, to say nothing about it's be-
ing very nice, handy place to gather
ice for family and dairy use, which is
q great luxury during the summer
months. think on most of our New
England farms there is some stream
that could be damned with but little
expense, and then add to the value of
the homestead, and be ready to 60 in
to the cooperative creamery when the
proper time cOmes.-J. I Hall.

BY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
BY MAHLoN NJ. DE LEWIS.

A certain lonely traveller
Mid thieves and robbers fell,
Who stripped and left the wounded man
Half dead-the Scriptures tell.
There came bigot priest that way,
Who could not e'er abide
A hereto he coldly passed
By on the other side.
Likewise an impious Levite came,
With proud and stately stride;
He scarcely deigned to look. He passed
BY on the other side.
At last q mean Samaritan,
Who journeyed on the road,
Bound up his wounds and sootked his pains,
Supplied him rest and food.
How like the world to-day is this!
The drama o er and DER
Is now repeated day by day
E en- at our very door;
We whirl away from weeping eyes,
And hearts that ache and bleed,
No kindness show, unless they be
OF cur own set, or creed.
We spurn the unassuming poor,
Wkate'er their needs may be,
Nor use our Christian spectacles,
That we their worth may see,
But lest our skirts become defled,
And humbled lie our pride,
We turn Our dainty heads, and pass
By on the other side.
Yet here and there man we find
Rejecting caste and creed,
Who, like the Good Samaritan,
A neighbor is indeed. -
In sickness, sorrow, want or death,
In suffering, or distress. @
He gladly lends a helping hand,
And gives a fond caress.
His soul expands for all mankind;
Each man to him is neighbor
Whether he live in luxury
Or by his daily labor
voice strong with authority
Comes ringing from the skies,
And speaks to us in tender tones:
go thou and do likewise"
