A SECRET POLITICAL ORGANIZATION

1t was minated some time since that
. secret political organization, something
like the Know Nothings or Cresents, was
being organized, ostensibly for the purpose
Of furthering the aspirations of Gresham
of Indiana for President, but pledged to
support whoever may be nominated at
the Chicago Convention for President.
Eastern papers assert that it is now def.
initely known that this organization num-
bers over 800, 900 men. 1t is organized
on a military plan, and divided into
brigades, regiments and companies.
Great caution is observed in selecting
members, and no applications are re-
ceiyed, as the organization seeks the
man. 1t is said that over one hundred
companies already exist in Illinois alone,
and that their influence will be felt when
the Republican National Convention
meets at Chicago
Whether the organization has adopted
the principles Of the old Know Nothing
party is not known, as the strictest
secrecy is observed by the members, but
its motives will doubtless be manifested
at the State and County Conventions, if
not at the Chicago Convention.

The direct tax bill, which has caused a
deadlock of several days duration in the
House of Representatives, proposes to
pay out of the United Ttates Treasury to
the several States the amount collected
by direct Federal taxation during the
war. The States are not clamoring for
the repayment of this money, which was
collected of individuals Agents of the
States, however, are urging the passage
Of the bill because there is money in it
for them. Inquiries recently instituted
show that the Iowa agent is to receive %
per cent, or 1000 ON $3S4,27 the
Kansas agent, 10 per cent. on S62, 36O;
the Kentucky agent, 5 per cent. ON $6O6, :
al; the Maine agent, % per cent. on
$357, 7O2; the Massachusetts, agent, 25
nor cent. on 500, 1874; the Michigan
agent, 20 per cent. on $426. 300; the Min.
nsssta agent, % per cent. on $92, $50; the
Missouri agent, IS per ceot. on $647, 600;
The New York agent, l5 per cent. on s.. /.

psr cent on 1868, $40; the Nebraska agent,
50 per cent. ON 81, 200, and the agents OF
ether States not yet reported proportion

This explains why such determined
effort is being made to get the bill through
Congress. The agents, whom it would
enrich, have strong lobby at work in Its
interest, and doubtless, like Oakes Ames,
of Credit Moblier memory, are placing
money where it does the most so,d.

THE DErENDEsT PENSION BILL.

The House Committee on Invalid PEN
sions has agreed upon pension bill for
disabled veterans. The bill provides a
pension at the rate of one cent per month
for each days war service, for all persons
who have served in the military or naval
service of the United States for any
period, and who have been honorably
discharged, and who are now or may
hereafter be suffering from any mental
or physical debility, not the result of their
own vicious habits, which totally disables
them from the performance of manual
lahor. 1t also provides the same pension
for all persons who are sixty-two years of
age. or may hereafter attain that age, for
and during life. 1t further provides that
when the widow of any person who had
served in the war, and had been honora-
bly, discharged, is in a condition of de-
..pendence, or is suffering from any disa-
rbility recognized by the general pension
law, or is 62 years of age, she shall be
placed upon the pension roll, at a rate per
month of one cent for every days war
service of her husband.
This bill was adopted by majority OF
the Committee, and considering that under
the general pension law everybody who
served in the war, and was wounded or
contracted any disease while in the SER
vice of the country,is entitled to a liberal
pension, it's provisions seem fair and just
80 all concerned. Should the bill become
. law, every person who served in the
war, whether wounded or not, who is now
unable to perform manual labor, or who
has attained the age of 62 years, will re-
osive a pension, the amount to be deter
mined by the number of days which the
individual served in the army or navy.
The present pension laws OF the United
States are the most liberal OF any nation
On the globe, and this proposed bill ex.
tends the bounty of the Government to
all dependent persons, who served in the
war, as well as to their widows.

The Nutritious Canary Islands Goflo.

The modern eliXirs Of life seem to lie,
not in wondrous distilment. but in the
ordinary grains of which is made our
daily bread. A writer in the Popular
Science Monthiy says that one of the first
things to attract his notice in the Canary
Islands was the heathful appearance and
fine development Of the common people.
There is no doubt that they are by birth
a superior race, but it is also true that
they use n food which, being highly
nutritious, must contribute to their
physical development. There is nothing
mysterious about this article, which is
known as goho. 1t is simply the flour
made from any of the cereals, by parch.
ing or roasting before grinding. One
can scarcely pass through any village of
the Canari.s without witnessing some
step in the preparation of this food.
The grain is first picked over, then
roasted above charcoal fire. and after
ward ground ut the wlndmills which
abound everywhere. When it is to be
eaten, milk, soup or any other fluid is
mixed with it, without further cooking.
Nothing can be more "handy" than such
an article Of food. The Canarian laborer,
if he goes forth to his work alone, takes
with him some gofo in a bag made of
the stomach of a kid; il there are several
persons, the skin of kid is used. When
meal-timc has arrived, little water is
poured into the bag with the gofo, the
mixture is well shaken, and the meal is
prepared without further ado. The Ca
marian Archipelago consists Of seven in-
habited islands, with a population of
two hundred and eighty thousand per-
sons. At least two hundred thousand
Of them live economically on gofo, as
their fathers did before them, from time
immemorial. The food is said to be not
only delicious and wholesome for those
who are not accustomed to it, but to
possess also tendency to counteract GER
tain digestive ills to which the civilized
stomach is heir thus restoring man, in
measure, to the physical condition Of
the happy savage.

The Use of Oilin Cooking.

II is said by Eleanor Bates, in Ddugi.
ters Of Imericd, that n lady once attend
ed concert, at which she fell into dis.
cussion with friend concerning divers
modes of cookery; the theme of the con.
versation proved more enchanting than
the music, which came to sudden
pause just us her unruly tongue, in spite
of herself, proclaimed in hearing of the
whole audience to their undisguised de-
light: "We fry ours in butter"
Beloved sisters, fry no more in butter,
il is expensive, burns easily and needs
constant watching. Not many of you
turn to lard, that modern American pro-
duct which has been scornfully thrust
from foreign markets. The housewife
who raises her own pigs on the banks of
a running stream and feeds them plenti-
fully on sweet corn meal and buttermilk
she and none other may use lard with
out fear and without reproach, but the
lard of the market is fearfully and won-
derfully made. Produced from unclean,
sometimes diseased animals, and as
proved by recent revelations, more often
adulterated than not, it is an unwho'e-
some article of food. Let us forthwith
inaugurate crusade against it.
What then shall we use for frying?
Clean beef drippings are delightful in
their way, but some of the objections al
ways made to animal fats are in place
here. There is an article, however,
against which none of these can be
urged. 1t is cotton-seed oil.
You don't like the taste of oil2 Do
you like the delicate flavor of fresh,
sweet chicken fatl The tastes are almost
identical. The cost is less than that Of
lard. A kettleful may be used again and
again. 1t will cook without burning ut
n much higher temperature than either
butter or lard. 1t being purely vegetable,
can carry no trichinU, no form of
scrofula into the human system. 1t
"takes up" in cooking less than lard.
Its merits have long been known to for
eign chefs, and are proclaimed aloud in
cooking schools, though sometimes dis.
guised under the name of olive oil.
They who have used it the longest, are
its warmest friends aud tirmest ad-
nerents.

AmphibiOus japanese.

Like n terrapin which the rain kills,
although they live in water half of the
time, the Japanese afford contradictions
on the water question. They never
drink water, and the men who have
been working in the lotus ponds at
Shibi, grubbing out the old stalks and
leaves from the muck in which the
sacred plant grows, standing meanw lille
in water up to their waists and shoulders,
will not work in the pond on rainy
days.
In Yokohama harbor on the incest
days, the Coolies who load and unload
cargo lighters and are in and out of the
water continually, often refuse to work
if rain begins to fall. The little boys
and girls and the unoccupicd women,
with babies tied on their backs, who are
always gadding about the streets with the
aimless unconcern of hens, take no ac-
count of the weather and en- ioy the open
air regardless of the barometer. jim
rickisha Coolies pay no heed to the rain,
and, although they draw the hoods and
tie their passengers in snug and dry
with oil paper or rubber aprons, they
trot along themselves in their two scanty
cotton garments that are more abbre-
waited than ever. Their substitute for
an umbrella is huge fiat straw plate of
a hat, and instead Of putting on goloshes
they take off even their straw sandals
and run barefooted. They show some
consideration for the big toe by tying
that honorable member up with a bit of
rag or wisp of straw, but this amounts
to nothing more than decoration.
Those pedestrians who wish to be
stately aud dry shod thrust their bare
feet into a half slipper arrangement of
wood and oil paper that is perched on
two wooden rests three inches high.
This adds so much to their statue that
one often thinks that he has been ia.
vored by passing an unusual number of
stately and dignided-looking men, and
concludes that the japanese are not such
race of pigmies after ALL Globe Demo

Bluest9ne as n Disinfectant.

have come in the course of some ex-
periments, says writer to the New York
Tribune, TO regard sulphate of copper
otherwise known us bluestone-as a more
eifectual disinfectant and germicide than
sulphate of iron by more than ten to one.
1t seems to me that for disinfecting
sinks, drains, ETC., one ounce of blue
stone will do as much as pound of cop
peras, while the stains of the latter are
almost entirely wanting in the former.
In fact, bluestone seems to approach in
power as gentle germicide and disin-
fectant that dangerous and corrosive poi
son, the bichloride Of mercury, otherwise
corrosive sublimate, while possessing no
more poisonus properties than copperas.
The popular fear of the salts of copper,
as seen in the green of copper and brass
utensils, has little or no good reason to
be; truth demonstrated by a commits
sion appointed by the French Govern
which reported pickles and other pre-
served vegetables might be "coppered {"
within certain limits without making
them unwholesome.
