Civil service in America is an expert
ment. It is death-bed conversion of
the Republican party. and the heirs
are left to do the penance. That PEN
ance has been performed as well as hui
man beings ever do such things-better
than Hale, or Cameron, or Conkling,
or any of the bosses of other days
would have endured. Ifthe people be-
lieve President Cleveland ought to be
defeated while reducing taxation be-
cause he gave 10000 Democrats fifty
dollar post-oflices in one end of the
general stores of the country, then. Of
course, let justice be done! Let Hale
put back his 40, 200 blowers and strik-
ers so that they may each contribute
the 800 for which he struck the noble
host in 1878, as shown by the circular
which Senator Butler unfeelingly

Blaino's Loft Bower Posing as y Civil
Service Reform Saint.
Senator Hale (Republican), of Maine,
who is Blaine's right-hand man, has
assailed the President on slightly bet
ter grounds than those chosen by Blaine
and Sherman. They have set up the
theory that Cleveland is dishonest be-
cause he is honest, that he is wasteful
because he is frugal, that he is oppres-
sive because he desires to lessen taxa
tion. But Hale avoids this kind of q bat
tle-ground. He calls up the Civil-Sprv-
ice question, and delivers q philippe
against the discharge of Republicans
and the employment of Democrats.
On this point he is able to say many
loud things, and to pound his fist on
the desk, and still not distort the truth
SO lamentahly as Sherman twisted it
the ether day. For instance. Hale says
no other Administration ever displaced
so many men, which sounds we'll to q
Republican, but there are two sides to

THRILLING ADVENTURE.
A Famous sportsman's Narrow Escap
from an Enraged Panther.


from an Enraged Panther.
How It feels to find ones self in the
Jaws Of panther is that kind of knowl-
edge which most people are well oon'
tent to acquire at secondhand. Prob
ably all men would not have the same
sensations, but this is the account which
Colonel Barras gives of such an ex-
perience. He was born sportsman,
and, OF course, could enjoy many
things which to ordinary persons would
seem any thing but pleasant:
The panther came for me with light
ming bounds could see nothing, ow-
ing to its tremendous speed. but
shadowy-looking form with two large,
bright, round eyes fixed upon me with
on unmeaning stare. as 1t literally flew
towards me. Such was the vision OF
moment! My presence OF mind did
not desert me. I raised my gun and
fred with all the care l could Mt such
short notice. But I missed, and the
panther landed, light as feather. with
Its arms round my shoulders. Thus
we stood for few seconds, and l dis.
tinctly felt the animal shifting for my
throat. Mechanically l turned my
head so as to keep the thick, wadded
curtain Of my helmet-cover in front OF
the creatures muzzle; but still l could
hear and feel plainly the rapid yet
cautious efforts it was making TO find an
opening, SO. as to tear open the jugular
vein.
was helpless, and so stood perfectly
still, well knowing that Sandford would
liberate me. il possible. At the first
onslaught we were so placed that he
could have hit the panther only by
firing through me, which would have
been injudicious, at least. AS may
easily be supposed, the animal did not
spend much time in investigating the
nature of wadded hat-cover. and. be-
fore my friend could take aim without
jeopardizing my own life, the beast
pounced on my left elbow, taking a
piece out, and buried its long, sharp
tangs in the joint till they met. At the
same time was hurled to the earth
with such force that knew not how
got there nor what became of my gun.
Still, throughout, maintained clear
impression of what was going on.
l knew that was lying on the ground
with the panther on top of me, and
could feel my elbow-joint wabbling in
and out as the brute ground its jaws,
with movement imperceptible to the
bystanders, but which felt to me as
though was being violently shaken
all over. Now listened anxiously for
The report of Sandford's shot. which !
knew would be heard Immediately, and
carefully refrained from making the
slightest sound or movement, lest his
aim should be disturbed thereby. In II
few seconds the loud and welcome de-
tonation, which from its proximity al.
most deafened me, struck upon my ear
/ sat up. l was free! the panther
gone! Hooked round and found that
was some distance from the place
where had fallen, so that the beast
must have dragged me some little way.
Sandford. as soon as he had got the
chance, had placed the muzzle of hi.

HOW TO COOK OATMEAL.

"Auld Scotland"

"Auld Scotland"
In making oatmeal porridge, tn
meal is stirred into boiling water wit
a porridge stick, while the water is kept
all the time at brisk boil. Care
should be taken to prevent the mea
from forming knots, as it will do il
dropped into tho water in too large
quantities. The best way is to take q
handful of the meal and let it drop into
the receptacle by the rubbing of the
thumb against the fingers. At first the
water will show ebullition or boiling
up soon after the meal begins to 90
into it, and this will be kept up until
about the time when enough of the
meal has been added. Fine meal is
more likely to knot than the coarse
meal, II takes experience to tell when
Just the amount of meal needed has
been used. the thickness of the porridge
being the test. No measurement OF
water and meal will do. The oatmeal
may be stirred in cold water before
cooking, but this makes more labor and
the cooking is not so we'll done as in
the other way. But if the cold water
mixing is resorted to, the meal should
be ground to the finest flour.
If any other meal is mixed with oat-
meal, as is sometimes done, rice meal is
regarded as the best, though barley,
bean. peaand wheat meals may be used.
Only q small quantity of the rice meal
should be used. but straight oatmeal
would be preferred by the true lover Of
this cereal.
Acidity is developed when oatmeal is
soaked in water for q few days. and this
meal makes the "hummery'' of the oat.
meal districts of England, Scotland and
Ireland.
Milk is used instead of water in max.
ing milk porridge; less meal is required,
but more water. Ale is also used in
place of water. Porridge is eaten mixed
with milk. Cane syrup and butter are
also used.
In making "water brose," boiling
water is poured on a handful of oatmeal
in a bowl, until the mess is of the
thickness of porridge, and then some
new milk is poured in. This is to be
eaten Immediately. Brose meal should
be kiln dried and coarse. The art OF
making this dish lies in making the
boiling water fully surround each par.
ticle of meal at the first pouring. Mill
brose is made by using boiling milk
