Third Party FalIac,es.

The New York Albany Journal says !:
In a letter of the Rev. Mr.. Lozier. a
prominent Methodist Episcopal clergyman
of Iowa, who was once the Prohibitionist
candidate for Governor of the State, are
some excellent truths applicable to
those tempted to go into the third party.
After recalling his thirty years services to
Prohibition, in which he ran the gantlet
of stones, knives, pistols and threatened
hangings, he recalls the fact that the
saloonis's assailed the Republican party
because 1t gave the people a chance
to vote upon the saloon question.
Mr.. Lozier feels that he can do temper
ance and morality better service by
voting with the Republican party.
He wisely says, e Ponder well
and cast your vote where it win inevitably
strengthen and perpetuate in power the
party that is the enemy of the saloon
keeper" Being Union veteran he feels
keenly the choice of Confederate Brooks
for place on the Prohibition ticket and
says that while it his duty to forgive peni-
tent rebels it does not necessarily follow
that he must vote for ex-traitors nomi-
mated for office. The fact that the Demo-
Gratis are working for the strengthening of
the Prohibition cause is another argument
why Mr.. Lozier is a Republican. We sug-
gest his maxim to New York State men:
"When the devil wants thing right bad,
l don't want it at ALL" The saloon men
are toe much delighted with prohibitions
temporary successes to entitle the cause to
good mems support in this State.

Picking and Drying Eee #.

In the first place, get good beef. The
part designed for drying is cut into uni
form pieces, which are packed into the
bottom of clean, sweet barrel, with the
boiling pieces on top.
To make the pickle, take thirtv-quart
kettle, put it over the fire and fill it to
within two and half inches of the top
with water. When the water begins to get
hot, dissolve salt in it until it will bear a
(clean) medium-sized potato on top, so as
TO show about one-fourth of an inch of it
above the surface. Now add one quart of
New Orleans molasses or two and one-half
pounds of clean brown sugar; dissolve one
fourth OF pound of saltpetre in basin
of hot water and pour in. Stir well few
minutes, and when near the boiling point
remove all scum rising. As soon as it
boils thoroughly, take off and set away to
cool; when nearly cold pour ii on your beef.

so nailed as to form a sort of lattice cover
to keep the entire beef under the LIQUID.
Two or three large, clean bricks should
be laid on the lattice. In about six weeks
take the meat all out of the barrel, rinse
in clean water and let drain. Hang the
piece for drying in room where the tenn
perature is about 75 degrees. Scald and
skim the brine, put the beef for boiling
back into the barrel, and when cool pour
the pickle on the beef again. II kept until
warm weather, the meat must again be
taken out, rinsed and put back in the bar
rel, the brine scalded and skinned. a
little fresh salt added and when cool

Changes of the chameleon.

If we take three pieces of glass, and dis
tribute over the one several small drops of
brown paint, by pressing on this with an
other glass, the drops are spread out, Civ
ing to the whole glass delicate brown
tint. If we now separate the glasses little
the paint collects in drops, and the tint
partly disappears. If we take the third
glass and place on it few drops of green
paint, and then press it against one of the
others, green taint will show through the
layer of brown dots. The skin of the
chameleon is, roughly speaking, made up
of three such layers, with dots of pigment
called chromatophores between them.
These dots may be contracted or spread
out in thin layers, the resulting color de-
pending on the colorof the chromatophores
affected. The power of adapting color to
surrounding objects is known to naturalists
as protective resemblance" and many
cases of it are to be found in both the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdoms.-TKe S.riss

In summer, during the warm weather,
Pietertje II. was kept in the barn day
times and turned to pasture at night. She
was fed three times day during the en-
tire year. The feed consisted of equal
parts in measurement of ground oats and
bran, ranging from twenty to thirty pounds
a day. If any were left it was ordinarily
taken away from her. Also during the
season for turnips she had about one-half
bushel day and some potatoes the amount
of both ranging from one-half to one and
one-half bushels. The potatoes were fed
during the entire year, and averaged from
one-half to three-quarters of bushel
day for the whole year. Whenever any
thing was refused it was usually taken
away. In the daytime during the summer
she was fed grass, and during the winter
her fodder consisted of timothy hay and
corn stalks, neither of them cut. During
cold weather she had water to drink three
times day at a temperature of 60o. No
drink of any kind was given her during
this record but good water. She was also
fed one pound of Batchford's Royal Stock
Food; also a small quantity of Thorley's
Horse and Cattle Food. These foods were
fed with the ground oats and bran, moist
ened with water. Her stable was I3x15
feet in size, and she ran loose in it.
The record was kept accurately, the
greatest care being taken to have it made
as public as possible from the beginning.
1t is believed that no record has ever been
given to the public except this one, before
being completed. The gentleman who
witnessed the milking are of undoubted

From its fashion and form cut loose,
And would go where the strawberry grows or

And the gooseberry grows on its goose,
Where the catnip tree is climbed by the cat
As she crouches for her prey
The gulleless and unsuspecting rat
On the rattan bush at play,
l will watch at ease the saffron COW
And her cowlet in their glee,
AS they leap in joy from bough to bough,
On the top of the cowslip tree;
Where the musical partridge drums on his
drum,
And the woodchuck chueks his wood,
And the dog devours the dogwood plum,
In the primitive solitude.

SOUL BEAUTY.

How sweetly sounds that myth of old
Which tells of Beauty's birth,
OF how she sprang from oceans foam
Immortal to the earthl
The goddess rising from the spray
That tips the fieeting billow
Yet springing into deathless life
From cen so frail pillow
It seems to speak across the void,
From ages far away,
To tell how human hearts may read
lesson in decay
A lesson that is taught us now
In every evening sky,
In every rose that blooms on earth,
In every dewdrop's dye.
In every note that stirs the soul,
As music sweetly swells
Or falls upon the listening ear
The sound of distant bells.
1t tells us though the sunset fades,
With all its golden splendor,
Though dies from off the deWdrop's breast,
Its beauty pure and tender
That though the frost may blight the rose
And music pulses perish,
There is "a beauty of the soul
That Heaven seeks to cherish
A beauty that will ever last,
a gem that Gims-no neyeri
For though the outer casket fades
It's beauty lives forever.

THERE was terrific speculation on
the oil market in both New York and
Pittsburg recently. The New York
sales reached over 100000 barrels in
ten minutes. Some Wall street
houses that had long dealt in oil
were caught 100000 barrels short,
and the corner produced on that oc-
casion was believed to be only one of
the incidents Of a greater move. The
deal was said to be engineered by
the Standard Oil Company and
the Producers Union. Honolulu is
feeling the effect of the " corner"
very severely, the price of oil having
advanced largely. The carrying out
Of the private electric light project
ought to be fastened in consequence
Of the exactions Of the foreign oil
monopoly.

nese return passports were outstand-
ing on the advent of the present Min
istry to office. Yet the increase to
the Chinese population has during
the past year been kept down by the
strict operation Of previous legal
powers to a rate that should not
be accounted alarming in view of
the high demand for plantation la
Dor. In fact the Chinese immigra-
ton returns for 1887 are positively
reassuring that under the new adj
ministration the tide has already
been effectually checked. The new
law is more stringent than any pre-
viously enacted on the subject, and
the faithful enforcement of its pro-
visions will imply sailing as close to
the wind as would be safe for the in
terests of the principal industry of
the country At all events, the Leg
islature would only make laughing
stock of itself by piling law upon
law upon the books without waiting
to test the merits of each last pre-
ceding one. There are grievances of
business men and mechanics of other
races attendant upon the too numer-
Gus presence of the Chinese in this
city which are undoubtedly real
These grievances are subjects that
should command the earnest at
tention of the Legislature for
the purpose if possible of
devising prompt remedial meas
ures. The prayer of the petit
ton, which asks THAT all further

grants, either Chinese or Japanese,
be Immediately restricted to the
actual wants of the individual plant
ers in labor for sugar and rice planta
tions," is a specimen of the thought
less craft that indited the document,
and like unto it are succeeding pray
ers that would impose intolerable
restrictions, not upon the Asiatics,
but upon the planters in whose enter
prise this nation lives and moves and
has its being. No, Mr.. Marques, you
cannot get the business down to such
a fine point.

being dragged into an old world
