WHY Colonies ARE NU-
NERVOUS.

Bill Arp explains, in a recent letter
to the Atlanta Constitution, that in old
time militia musters the Governor was
the Commander-in in Chief, but as he
could not be personally present, the
militia were reviewed by proxy. Every
county had an aid-de-camp with the
rank of Colonel. He held his rank
and title as long as the Governor held
his Office, and he was expected to hol-
Ter for him and talk for him and boom
him, and; if necessary, he must fight
for him on a suitable occasion. If the
Governor failed of reelection, these
Colonels had to retire too, and a new
set were appointed, but the old set
never lost their title, and so the State
II course of time got pretty full Of
Colonels."

THAT VICIOUS OLD BUCKET.

How fresh in my mind are the scenes of my child
hood,
AS fond recollections present them to view
The cow-stall, the pig-pen, the ten cords OF fire
wood,
And all the tough chores that 1 had to go
through.
The weeds in the garden, the stones In the stubble,
The errands to rum and the white beans to shell;
And (when I'd already a surplus of trouble(,
The bucket that viciously dropped in the we'll
The rotten-roped bucket, the iron-bound bucket,
The COMPOUNDED bucket that dropped in the well.
After trudging all day in the wake of a harrow,
The team / must water ere getting my grub;
Cross, footsore and tired clear into the marrow,
I'd seize on the windlass to fill up the tub
So downward that bucket demurely meandered,
And then with hard Juggling it "rose from the
well;
But ere 1 could dump it the rope had disbanded,
And spang to the bottom the 'tarnald thing fell
Then with grapples and "creepers" and like
deliberations,
I bent over the well like a capital A,
And mingled my tears with devout invocations
l sprinkled them down as / angled away.
How it caught-and slipped off-and at last caught
securely
/ pulled with a joy that my words cannot tell
And I Rugged, not for love, but to hold it more
surely,
The mud covered bucket that rose from the well,
The slippery old bucket, the rotten-roped bucket,
The mud covered bucket that rose from the well!

A CRUSHER.

Country boys are not such squash
heads as they sometimes look" said
the sociable drummer at the Broezel
house. zone day last week | was out
riding with a fellow who seemed to
think it his mission to say or do some
thing smart every minute. Presently
we overlook a barefoot urchin driving
a COW home from pasture, and my
companion reined up the horse and
spoke to him, saying, Say, my little
man, what time will it be at six o'clock
this afternoon p Without a moments
hesitation the lad answered: "Twill
be bed time for hens and fools. You're
not a hen, but twill be your bed time
all the same" ~ .1

and bake about two hours. Do not stir
after you add the rest of the milk. If it
is baked properly it should have whey on
the top like an Indian pudding. Use dark
molasses. Serve hot with butter and
milk. This is very nice.
CHOCOLATE.
Scrape or crate one ounce of chocolate,
add to it an equal weight of sugar, throw
these into a pint of perfectly boiling
water and milk, of each one-half, and i'm
mediately mix or stir them for two or
three minutes, until the chocolate and
sugar are quite dissolved; it is then ready
for the table. Some think that two or
three minutes boiling improves it. Choco-
late should never be made but when it is
intended to be used Immediately, for. by
suffering it to become cold and boiling it
again the flavor is injured.
BRoILED CHICKEN.
Cut the chicken open on the back, lay
on the meat board and pound until it will
lie fiat, lay it on a gridiron, place over a
bed of Goals and broil until a nice brown.
1t will cook better to cover with a tin
pie-tin held down with a weight, so that
all partslof the chicken may lie close to
the gridiron. While the chicken is broil-
ing, put the liver and gizzard and heart
into a stewpan and boil in a pint of water
till tender, chop fine, and add -four, but
ter, salt, pepper, and stir in a cup of sweet
cream; when the chicken is done, dip it
in the gravy while hot, lay it back on the
gridiron a few seconds, put it in the
gravy, and let it boil for a half-minute !;
send it to the table hot.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

A weak solution of salt is a remedy for
indigestion.
Hang up everything that will hang in
go to sweep it.
Keep your bread pans and pie dishes
free from i'll flavor by always washing
them in hot water after using.
When out of machine oil use kerosene
and fresh lard, equal parts, well mixed,
and it will answer the purpose.
Immersing potatoes in cold water for
an hour or two previous to cooking, i'm
proves their quality at this season of the
year.
Old wall paper can be very much i'm
proved in appearance by simply rubbing
it well with a flannel cloth dipped in oat-
meal.
Olive oil saturated with camphor makes
an excellent application for infammatory
swellings, also for rubbing rheumatic
joints.
Keep this liquid to soften putty: Dis
solve potash in water and mix with fresh
slaked lime. Pour off the fluid and bottle
for use.
In washing dishes, pots and pans, a
wisp of broom-corn and a small quantity
of soapy water is handy and useful in
cleaning them from all bits and grease.
To brighten dingy, spotted gilt frames,
moisten a small sponge with spirits of
wine or oil of %turpentine and rub gently.
The seecks and dirt will be removed. Do
not use the sponge very wet and allow
the frame to dry of itself without wiping'
Do not appropriate the best room for a
guest chamber. Take that for yourself;
your friends stay is short. Still, make
the room as cheerful as possible; hang
the wall with pictures, and supply such
beautiful things as taste suggests and
means allow.
Silk, or anything that has silk in it,
should be washed in water that is almost
cold. 1t may be washed in suds Of nice
white soap, but soap must not be rubbed
on; rinse in clear water, almost cold.
Avoid the use of hot irons to smooth silk.
Either rub dry with a soft cloth. or put
between towels and press with weights.
An easy way of cleaning the marble on
bureau and washstand: First rub as clean
as possible with dry channels, then brush
on it a thick coat of gum-arabic solution.
Let this dry and then peel it off. If it
does not come off easily, wash with a
clean cloth and a little warm water. Polish
the marble with a piece Of soft flannel or
old felt.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the Importance of making soup an habit
ual food. Even where the family taste and
the ex~igencies of custom preclude the
service of one of the lighter soups as part
of the regular dinner, an effort should be
made to serve some of the thick, nutri-
tious soup at least two or three times as
week as the bulk of the meal. Much of
the enjoyment of this kind of food de-
ponds upon the seasoning, a portion of
which should always be cooked with the
soup. T-E

Dealers Opposed to This
Course, as Being Detri-
mental to the City. :
The New Convent Of the Wis.,
itation--A Brick Block on s
Dayton Avenue. \
Kavanagh & Dawson Have
DiSSOlved--The Market ID
for a Week.

There has been a good deal of talk
among real estate dealers during tfe
week in regard to the report that East
ern syndicates had been formed for the
purpose of buying up large quantities
of realty in st. Paul for speculative
purposes. In this connection it is re-
ported that one dealer in this city has
sold over 100000 worth of property.
The matter has been kept secret and no
one has been able 10 ascertain any of
the parties to the transaction. There
is no doubt that something Of this sort
is in progress and that large sums of
money will soon be invested in st. Paul
realty. Some of the real estate dealers
are doing their best to put stop to this
kind of business. These gentlemen see
nothing but harm in this scheme if it is
carried out. They state that nothing of
this kind has ever existed in st. Paul,
but the market here has been an open
one and free from the manipulation Of
syndicates that could raise or lower
prices at will. Under this policy the
city has proSpered in a very gratifying
manner. On the other hand, if all the
best and most desirable property in st.
Paul is to be picked up by syndicates
that have unlimited means with which
to hold the same. stagnation in
real estate and general dizziness will
follow. These syndicates can put
prices upon their property far in ad-
vance of the market, and thus practi-
cally take it out of the maket. That is,
in some measure, the case in Kansas
City. There property is held for $1,000
and $1,000 per front foot that, if
similarly located in St. Paul, would not
sell for more than $500 to $1,000. Ere
quent and rapid sales at reasonable
prices, and for improvement, are better
for city than few sales for very high
price. Under the latter system, there
would be less building and less bust
ness. Sales of realty should be more
numerous and at moderate prices. This,
it is claimed, stimulates business, and
tempts others to buy and build, and
this is what causes activity, If, how
ever. large part of the town, and the
best part of it, is owned by strangers.
who are able to hold the property, and
consequently will not build or sell, it is
q misfortune.
