A Heroic WOmnn.

There has been a fine example of
woman's heroiSm this season in the
town of Caribou. The heroine de-
serves Howell's title, "The Lady of the
ArooItook," with all tho nobility ex-
pressed in that much.abused word. G.
ID. King and his wife live in the deep
solitude of the forest, thirteen miles
from any town, with their nearest
neighbor eight miles away. Mr.. King
cut his foot badly recently, and the
following day his need of medical aid
was so pressing that his wife started
for Caribou, Equipped with pair Of
snow shoes, in case the crust should
fail, and hauling her child on a sled,
she walked the entire thirteen miles,
six being through a painless forest.
She seemed none the worse for her
long walk, and the necessary aid was
at once sent to her husband.-Spring-
field Republican.

Cooking Vegetables.

All cooks understand the different
effects produced by soft and hard water
in cooking meat and vegetables. Peas
and beans cooked in hard water contain
ing lime of gypsum, will not boil tender,
because these substances harden vegeta.
BILE caseine. Many vegetables, as onions.
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be.
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this. as in
the case of onions, causing the vegetables
to retain the peculiar flavoring principles,
besides such nutritious matter as might
be lost in soft water. For extracting the
juice of meat to make broth or soup.
soft water, unsalted and cold at first, is
best, for it much more readily penetrates
the tissue; but for boiling where the
juice should be retained, hard water or
soft water sailed is preferable, and the
meat should be put in while the water is
boiling, so as to seal up the pores at once.

Didn't Mean Free Trade.

lhladelphla lrese.
Discomfort and open rebellion against
the mad assault upon American interests
are manifest in every neighborhood where
a factory chimney pierCcs the sky and
wherever man has peopled the hills with
sheep or planted the valleys with grain.
The uprising against the conspiracy
which prefers Mr.. Clevcland's free trade
message to the Declaration of Independ,
cnt as a Fourth of July document gains
fresh recruits every day, and unless some
thing is done TO check it. the Democracy
is doomed to overwhelming and humila-
ting defeat. In this supreme crisis the
old tactics of the old party do not fail it.
The old, familiar whine, pcevish, fretful,
and babyish, goes forth again: I'VE
didn't mean it. Let bygones be bygones."
Mr.. Watterson goes to Harlem to make it;
Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Mills pipe it out in
tremulous treblcs in Tammany Hall;
President Cleveland, in ponderous tones
more gruntful than whining drones it
forth in solemn letter: We didn't
mean it. Let bygones be bygones." And,
taking the key from these fcryent but
timid dodgers and apologists, the free
trade organs all over the land peep and
pipe in voices trembling with terror: I'VE
uiuh mean IL. Let DygoHes nc bSgoneS.
What brave politics. Having issued the
challenge. chosen the groand, selected
weapons and named its seconds. this
brave, fat party of Jefferson, Jackson,
Grover Cleveland, and free trade pauses
on its way to the battlefield, and with its
knees knocking together in terror, piteous.
ly whincs:"We didn't mean it. Let bv-
cones be bygones." The plea has be-
come threadbare; it has been accepted too
often, and this time it will be rejected.
1t will never win either mercy or pity
again until it issues from the graves Of
dead parties where the Democracy itself
lies among the unhonored bygones, with
the word Coward" inscribed upon its
coffin

Old moneybags mopes in his office all day,
As snappish and cross as bear;
The clerks know enough to keep out of his
way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and
swear.
Even Tabby, the cat, is In fear of a cuff
Or kick, If she ventures too near;
They all know the master Is apt to be rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and grim,
And behave so confoundedly mean?
There's certainly something the matter with
him
Is 1t stomach, or liver, or spleen?
We've guessedit-his liyeris sluggish and bad,
His blood is disordered and foul.
IT'S enough to make any one hopelessly mad,
And greet his best friend with growl.
The worldwide remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, will correct disordered
liver and purify the blood, tone your system
and build up your flesh and strength.
