LONDON, Nov 12.-The Local Government
Board has made public it's reply to the letter re-
Gently addressed to it by the Social Democratic
Federation, calling attention to the alleged
enormous increase in the number of the poor

percentage of paupe1s in London was % to every
1000 of the population, while in the same month
of the year 1868 the percentage AZ to the

Cares Of Housekeeping,

Philadelphia Times: 1t is not sur
prising that the reluctance OF women
to the cares of housekeeping is every
year growing greater and that the
wives of so many men of ample mears,
who have all the aid that abundance
of money gives, are doing all in their
power to shrink these difficulties and
to escape them as much as they pos
sibly can. It is not a fashionable
freak that is leading so many thou
sands of people to desert the city every
summer to travel hither and thither,7
and to crowd the summer resorts, and
especially the suburban hotels and
boarding houses that have increased
so rapidly within few years. 1t Is all
more than anything else the result OF
this growing tendency to escape the
trials and annoyances OF housekeep-
ing, even Tor a season, though so often
it is fleeing from the ills they have
to "others that they know not
Of" OF course there are many who
see in it all the necessary results of
the extravaganza of living and the
false and frivolous ideas respecting
domestic life. toward which society
has long been drifting. So long as
wives esteem domestic duties and
practical housekeeping beneath them,
and foolish parents bring uptheir sons
and daughters with ideas that might
suit princes and princesses on some
feudal estate, but are utterly out OF
harmony with plain, practical Ameri-
can modern life, these difficulties must
increase. There are many thoughtful
and sensible people who contend that
an adjustment must come and that
domestic life must soon lose all it's
comfort or charm, or else there must
be somewhat of a return to the sim
plicity of the times when grandmoth-
ers of the present generation did their
own spinning and knitting, and when
the daughters of the household were
proud to serve at table and good cook
ing was a great accomplishment.
There are many who see some ten
dency in that directian now and who
are trying all they can to help bring
it about.

The Most Nutritious Food.

Beans are the most nutritious food,
says the New York Times. They con-
tain twenty-foul per cent. OF protein
in the shape of legumine-a substance
having the properties and very much
the same composition as caseine, and
OF which very good cheese can be made
and forty-tive per cent. of carbona-
ceous matters, against ten of protein
and sixty-eight of carbonaceous mat
ters in corn. Hence, with corn in
nearly equal quantities, the mixture
will make a perfectly balanced food,
and therefore one that would be found
an antidote to the fatal hog cholera
which prevails where corn is the sole
pork-making food. When beans are
ground with corn. the meal is readily
eaten by all animals, and is especially
valuable for horses. When given to
cows the meal produces rich and
abundant milk. Hence discolored
beans can be most profitably used for
feeding, and should not be sent to
market to lower the price Of good
ones,

Burning Stubble.

Waldo f. Brown assures the readers
of the Country Gentleman that it is
better to burn stubble on fields to be
plowed, in all cases where it is practi-
cable. Wherever the stubble was
burned, he noticed that blowing was
much easier, and the soil crumbled
fine behind the pillow and remained
moist, while the strips where the stub
BILE stood turned uprough and clodaHy
and soon turned out. he says:
'"I'he largest yield of wheat ever re
ported on a field in Ohio-being over
sixty bushels to the acre-was grown
in Lorain County, on a field where a
crop of mammoth clover had beer
grown to pillow under, but the owner
after trying for q half day, found that
he could not turn under so heavy q
growth, so fired it and burnt it of
clean. l read the statement at the
time in the Ohio Farmer, and meet
ing Prof. Townshend, of the Ohio
State University, lately, and knowing
that his farm was in that county,
asked him about it, and he confirmed
the facts, saying that to his personal
| knowledge they were true.

Measures That Should De Taken for Poultry in
the Fall,

In the Rural New Yorker p. III. ia
cobs writes on this topic: Before re-
ducing stock, select all hens that have
mou!ted or show signs of moulting, as
they will complete the process and be-
gin to lay before cold weather comes
on. Though the rule may not be in
fallible, yet the hen or pullet that be-
gins to lay on the approach of winter
will generally make good winter lay
er, while the one that does not COM
mence before cold weather usually
postpones operations until spring
The hens intended for market, there
fore, should be those that have not
moulted, as moulting requires about
three months. The best food for the
moulting hen is oatmeal, with meat
and milk, whenever such can be pro-
cured. Feed very little corn, as she
should not be made very tat.
AS the fall begins to1~pass over and
winter approaches by careful manage
+ ment the hens may be made to lay all
winter and the beginning of the winter
preparations should be made in the
fall. In some sections the season is not
very severe until January, and ad-
vantage should be taken ofthe warmer
weather. Lice must still be kept down
and the poultry house must be made
rs comfortable as possible. To get the
hens in good laying condition those
that are very fat should be separated
from the others and be fed upon oats
as the only food, compelling them to
hunt and scratch for the grain in cut
straw, leaves or some kind of litter as
the consequent exertion will reduce
them in flesh and keep them in health.
AS soon as the hens begin to lay they
may be fed on plenty offood, provided
there is a variety, as the production OF
eggs will enable them to appropriated
to that purpose. Whenever a hen ceases
to lay, if even for few days, she be-
gins to fatten, and this must be guard
ed against, as a fat female, whether
quadruped or birds, is not very pro-
life.
If soft food is given, it should con-
sist OF ground oats three parts, shorts
one part and bran two parts, and if
the hens are laying we'll there should
be added one part OF cOrnmeal and
one of ground meat. Bone-meal,
ground shells, and pure water should
always be where the fowls can have
access to them, and the soft food
should be seasoned with salt, scalded
and fed warm. No food will be neces-
sary then until night, when oats and
wheat should be given, unless in cold
weather, when corn may also be al
| lowed.

What is Repartee?

Repartee is a sudden flash. 1t is
turning current of thought in an OPP
posite direction. 1t is the upsettinc
OF train of thought. 1t Is really de-
forming a thought. Repartee is case
where one speaker makes plain state
ment, aimed in certain direction,
which q nearer coll:des with and re-
verses so as to shoot straight back
at the speaker.
"What l want" said a. pompous
orator, aiming at his antagonist, ''is
good common sense"
Exactly" was the whispered re-
ply, chats just what you need"
Repartee is often very unkind, but
its unkindness is excusable when the
person indulging init has been attack
ed. For instance: Abernethy, the
famous surgeon, swore violently at
poor Irish payer who had piled some
paving stones on the doctors side
walk.
Remove them! away with themp'
screamed Abernethy, with an oath.
"But where shall l take them tor"
asked Pat.
ITO hell with them!" exclaimed the
doctor.
Hadn't l better take them to
heaven? Sure, and they'd be more
out of your honor's way there" said
Pat, as he leaned on his spade.
An instance of unkind repartee is re-
corded OF Charles Lamb:
One day a loving mother brought
her beautiful golden-haired baby into
dinner in her aims. She was very
proud of her sweet babe, and holding
it up with Joy and pride in her eyes,
she said:
"Mr. Lamb, how do you like
babies?"
81 like 'em boiled, madam-boiledf"
OF course that mother never loved
Mr. Lamb after that.
The finest piece of repartee in the
English language is the instance where
two Irishmen were walking under the
gibbet of Newgate. Looking up at the
gibbet, one of them remarked:
''Ah, Pat, where would you be if the
gibbet had done Its duty?"
Faith, Flanagan" said Pat, "and
I'd be walking London-all alone!''
A fine bit of repartee is attributed
to Douglas Jerrold:
"Have you seen my Descent Into
Hell?'' inquired an author, afgreat
bore, who had written bookwith a
fiery title.
No" replied Douglas Jery4d, "but
| should like to-" 81

Terrible Cholera Scenes.

Vienna Dispatch to the Lond on Daily News.
The cholera is slowly but firmly
taking it's seat in the Austro- Hungari-
an monarchy. Energetic measures
have now been taken in Pola to pre-
vent its spreading further. In Buda-
Pesth there have been eight new cases.
Ten persons ill of cholera are lying in
the barrack hospital, and several
more in private houses. One man
died half an hour after being taken i'll.
But it is worst in Lie, village near
Agram. Out of 900 inhabitants nine
ty we're taken ill., twenty-eight hav-
ing died almost Immediately. The
uncultivated people distrust all
doctors and conceal their sick
brethren as long as they can.
When the great number of cases
made concealment impossible, the
doctor who came to look after them
was received with volleys of stones.
The people refuse to help each other.
Wherever cholera appears the house
is Immediately isolated. A commits
sion goes from house to house to as
certain the number of cases and to
procure help. In one house they dis
covered a mother and daughter half
naked on the bare floor, both writhing
in agonies. A little boy stood near
crying, but not attempting to seek
help. After opening another door In
the same house the commission found
the father, who had died of cholera,
on the cold hearth with the dead body
OF his 2O-year-old son flung over him.
1t is almost impossible to make the
people believe that the doctors are
not the originators of the epidemic.
The entire population is deep in mis-
cry, because the traffic with Fiume,
their only resource, has been inter
rupted.
Morris tribune., 1886-10-27

The southern states have once more
been shaken up by earthquake. The
shocks appear to have affected a
larger area than has been disturbed
since the great calamity of August 81,
in which Charleston suffered so severe
ly. Happily, no one, SO far as known
at the present writing, has been in
jured, and the damage to property
has been very slight. Summerville, S.
c., is evidently the headquarters for
earthquakes in this country. The
shocks are more numerous and noisy
there than in any other place, and
would have been more destructiveh had
there been as much to destroy as in
Charleston.
