ONE Of the sspiencies who edits b
democratic newspaper in Texas, refer
ring to the resolution Of the republican
state convention concerning soldiers
home, moralizes as follows:
THE republicans want the confeder-
ate home In this state turned into q
soldiers home. The government OF the
United States certainly does enough for
the manned federal soldiers, as it pays
them about $50, 900, 900 q year."
This is rich. The resolution was
adopted to aid the confederate home to
secure state appropriation under the
guise OF soldiers home. 1t was mo-
ton made solidly and purely In the In.
terest of the disabled confederate sol.
soldiers, and yet 1t Is damned because II
comes from republican state conven.
ton. Such Ia democracy.

JAY GOULD, In a recent interview In
New York, expresses himself concerning
the management of his railway proper
ties in Texas. He says that the suit of
the attorney general ofthis state, If sue =
cessful, will absolutely destroy the value
of the International and Great Northern
stock. That the international was
spending 5000, 900 more per snnum than
its gross earnings and that his efforts
had merely been to preserve the rights
of the stockholders. AS between the
Missouri Pacific and the Kansas and
Texas the former, he says, has given
much more to the latter than it has re-
ceived from 1t and that 1t is not his busi-
ness, bat the business Of the new own
ers to see after their connections.
Gould congratulates himself evidently
upon the condition OF the Missouri Pa
cific which he says is freer from positive
guarantees than any road he knows Of.

Anime Glaciers.

Glaciers filed every valley and ravine,
and the ice stood up in tall ramparts
wherever the space was too marrow tC
hold its rigid waves. Glacier ice is
snow that has for a considerable time
been sub ,ected to enormous pressure. II
YOU squeeze n SNOWFALL in your hand un.
til it is very hard it becomes icy. So in
the Alps, the continual fall of snow is
the pressure and the suns heat the
warmth which produces those seas OF
ice that are called glaciers. There arc
over 606 of them in switzerland, aud
some are coeval with the glacial period
of this continent, while Others are now
in process of formation. Winter is their
season Of rest, but with the Spring they
resume their onward motion, due to the
combined action of heat and gravitation.
For in spite or their apparent immobility
all Alpine glaciers do move constantly,
although with different degrees of speed,
and, like LIQUID streams, they carry with
them debris of all sorts, but principally
the stones that fall upon their surface
| from the mountains sides. The glacier
starting in its purity from some white,
uusullied peak, loses before many years
| its spotless character. The wintry frosts
gathering into iron bonds the streams
| that trickle down the mountain sides
expand the water in freezing and shatter
rocks with force that the most solid
cliffs cannot possibly resist. Thus
broken fragments drop on TO the once
unspotted bosom of the ice sea and swell
its burden with advancing years. The
debris thus brought down form what are
called moraines. Each glacier has a
moraine on either side of it; its end is a
terminal moraine, and when two glaciers
unite, their lateral moraines join and
form medal moraine. One of the
largest medal moraines hereabouts | saw
as we came down from this excursion.
1t is in the centre of the Morteratsch
Glacier and is about 80 feet or more
broad and perhaps 20 feet high in it,

Mother and the girls were quite in
ecstasies over the new house. The
masculine members of the family were
inclined to be dubious as to its advan-
tages. The chief objection which we
had to it was that it was one of row

tremely difficult to be sure of the right
door.

Farmer. We find that in making all
kinds of chopped pickles, it is a very
great saving Of time and labor to use o
sausage cutter to prepare the vegetables.
AS good part of the work consists in
cleaning the cutter, we met and cut OF
ground our cabbage, tomatoes, onions
and peppers. 1t was all done in very
short time. We took the chopped vege.
tables home in pals. Mrs. Howe, the
lady at whose house the work was done,
gave me this recipe for making them up
One peck and half of green tomatoes,
three small heads of cabbage, six large
onions, six ripe peppers, and six green
peppers; chop all very finely and cover
all with salt for twenty-four hours, then
drain the juice off thoroughly cover with
two quarts of strong vinegar; add one
and half pounds of sugar; scald all ono
hour, then add three heads of finely
chopped celery and one pint of grated
horse radish root; boil all fifteen min

The Care of Lamps

People who live in houses lighted by
gas escape much that is disagreeable in
the care of lamps-or their lack of care.
But the kerosene lamp is the almost
universal illuminator.
The best light IS obtained from lamp
where the surface of the oil is at all
times at the same distance from the burn
ing part of the wick. Where the reser
voir containing the oil is directly under
the burner, as in most common lamps,
the blaze burns less and less brightly as
the oil decreases and the wick grows
more tardy in supplying it. We need
an improvement in hand lamps on this
account.
The wick serves principally to elevate
the oil, the combustion of its own sub
stance being very slight, but there is a
choice IN wicks. Felt wicks are preferable
to woven, as they can be more easily
trimmed to give a good shaped blaze.
Some housewives in trimming a wick
will cut off all the black every day. Thi:
is undesirable, for by pinching off tho
loose fibers and smoothing over the tor
a better light is obtained. The inside o.
the oil reservoir should be carefully
cleansed with soda dissolved in watel

careful to drain and dry them well. Thi
can be easily done by standing them il
the open oven few moments. Do no
let the soda and water come into contac
with any bronze or gilt about the ousidt
of the lamp.
Oil should be strained before it is pu
into a glass lamp. The burners should
be boiled in soda water once in a montl
or two. If you live in or near wher'
there is a factory in which brass i!
handled, take the burners there and
have them dipped. 1t will cost but I

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
CHANCE.

L
When first we parted,
The barren fields lay bare beneath the sun,
And crimson leaves dropped downward, one
by one;
The heart of nature bled, that now was
done
Her labor sweet.
Her pulses beat
Slowly as the tear drops fall from aged eyes,
For all the poor dead blossom at her feet
No more would rise;
Yet gray clouds held for us a rosy dye:
Love smiled through pain on Love in that
goodbye.
When next we met
The summer fields were green with hopes
warm tints,
The waves were shining with the golden
dnts,
That sunbeams make, when on foam-crests
each glints
In showered gold;
And wide unrolled
The carpet, nowerdecked, by Nature spread,
And silver arrows held with azure thread
Glanced DER the sea;
But all was gray and cold, fair Love was
dead,
And spring a frozen waste to you and me.
