The Bow Didn't Smoke.

While we were lying around the camp fire
cine evening after supper a boy some 10 or II
years old came along driving some COWS, and
stopped for short call. Briar had been for
some time meditatively watching the smoke
of bis pipe curl up and mingle with that of
the fire, when he turned to the boy and said:
'sWon't you have smoke? I've got an
extra pipe in my pocket, and here's some to-
bacco."
81 don't never smoke" replied the boy.
''That's right" replied Brian. 81 supposed
you did or I wouldn't have asked you. l
wouldn't try to induce any boy to use to-
bacco-it's bad habit wish l had never
begun its use myself-you just keep letting
it alone Haven't you sometimes found it
hard to keep from smoking when around on
the farm where nearly every man has a pipe
in his mouth?"
"No, I dunno as have very" replied the
boy. "You see, I've chawed ever since I
was z, so that has kinder helped to keep me
from wantin' to smoke. If you've got any
good eatin' terbacker handy wouldn't mind
takin' a bite-dark plug is my style-fne cut
is only about right for babies!"-Fred II.

Editor Vindicator:
Your issue of Dec. 16, 1887, containing
an account of the death of VIM. Towber-
man of Illinois, brother of John Towber-
man and Mrs. RAIDER OF your county, came
to the notice of their only surviving uncle,
John Towberman of this place, who is now
in his ninetieth year.
He is the only surviving member of his
fathers family, all of whom were born and
reared i'll Rockingham County, Va. During
the last forty five years of his life he has
resided in Missouri, having formerly lived
IN Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa. His father
was coach-maker in Philadelphia in 1850,
and soldierin the Revolutionary war I'M
der Washington. He has three surviving
children-Col. Philip Towberman OF Sey-
mour, Texas; Jas. r. Towberman of Los
Angeles, Cal ex-mayor of that city, and
Mrs. Jas. H. MINIS of Carrollton, Mo-,
with whom he now resides. lie has been
blind for the last five yers but otherwise
enjoys good health, and always votes the
straight Democratic ticket. A. d. G.

They were discussing the awful problem
of the inefficiency of 50 many men. There
were three of them-all ladies who had known
plenty and now were their own bread Will
ners in consequence Of the failure of husbands
to even keep the wolf from the door. Il be-
lieve in setting out the slippers and all that
old time nonsense about a wite's duties" said
one, ''if the husband provides the home and
it's necessities. But when | am obliged to 80
out into the world and earn the money to buy
his bead as we'll as my own, as do now, l.
give up the practice Of setting out the slip
pers." Another remarked that a married
woman made the mistake of her life when
she began to do anything to earn money. Tho
third said she also believed that the efficiency
of woman was creating a race OF inefficient,
irresponsible men,
After talking it over in plain language, in
which use was found for tremendous en-
phasis, they all agreed that as women were
so frequently obliged to earn their bread,
everything should be made as easy as pos
siblc for them; but the old way OF the nus
band earning and the wife expending the
money for their mutual comfort was tho best,
and any departure therefrom showed that
there was something radically wrong some
where.-New York Press every Day Talk"

EATING WELSH RAREBfTS.
"A Hotel Man Gives Few Points Con
corning the Famous Dish.

"A Hotel Man Gives Few Points Con-
corning the Famous Dish.
"The quantity of prepared cheese nightly
consumed by actors and men about town is
surprising" said James Butler, of the Gilsey
house, the other day "After the theatre all
of the uptown chop houses and cafes are
crowded with gentlemen seated at well ap-
pointed tables slipping malt liquors end eating
Welsh rarebits, or rabbits, as some call
them"
4'Why is this dish called Welsh rarebits,
when according to Brillat-Savarin it is of
Swiss origin?n asked the writer
''Welsh rarebit is a slang term" said Mr.
Butler, belonging to large group which
describe in the same humorous way the
special dish or product, or popularity of
particular district. 1t is quite English to
call things by some outlaudish name. In
England an Essex lion is calf A field
lame duck is baked sheepshead. Glasgow
magistrates and Norfolk capons' are red
behring's Irish apricots and Munster
plums' are potatoes, and the dainty salt
water shfimps are called 'Gravesend sweet
meats The original Welsh rarebit was
made as follows: Take as many eggs as you
wish, according to the number of guests, and
weigh them. Then take piece of cheese a
third of the weight of-the eggs, and piece
OF butter weighing one-sixth as much. Beat
the eggs, after which add the butter and the
cheese, either grated or cut into small pieces
Put the ingredients into saucepan, and over
"a good fire stir until the mixture is smooth
and thick, yet SOFT Add salt to taste, and o
liberal quantity of pepper, which is one ct
the principal charms of this dish.
81 imagine the foregoing dish would set
baox 81 Of bn
late supper eater. DR.. Austin Flint, how
ever, has been quoted as recommending his
friends and patients to eat Welsh rarebits, or
anything else they take a fancy to, whenever
they are hungry. He said: 'Dyspeptics arc
chiefly persons who eat regularly, restrict
their diet to simple food in small amounts
and constantly have their stomachs on their
minds The only time the busy New Yorker
thinks of his stomach is when it is empty
Even then business may prevent him from
satisfying its demands"
s'Does the modern Welsh rarebit contain
eggs?" asked the writer.
"No, the American Welsh rarebit is made
as follows: Cut up a quarter of pound of
mild cheese. Put it into a saucepan with
pat of butter and stir over the fire until it is
thoroughly melted and free from Jumps.
When quite smooth add 8 xineglass of old
ale and mix it well into the cheese. Put
thin slice of hot toast on a hot plate or side
dish. pour the melted cheese over it, and
serve as quickly as possible. 1t should be
eaten from the plate in which it is served.
GA golden buck is made by adding a
poached egg to a Welsh rarebit. York
shire buck is made by adding bacon to q gol-
den buck. 1t is quite fashionable for gentle
men to cook their Welsh rarebits in chatting
dish at table. A few of the patrons at our
restaurant are celebrated for their mode of
preparing them. New York Evening Sun.

Charm of Little Dinners,

The sincerest form of hospitality, and by
far the most enjoyable left to u.s. is ''littlen
dinners Snowy banquets and display feeds
may possess some interest as spectacles, and
various forms of glorifcation, private and
public, individual or collective: but the real
soul of good fellowship is in gathering of
six to dozen persons-intelligent congenial
round the table of discriminating, ex-
perienced host or hostess Tor both, who in
wife their friends not to show the extent of
their wealth and the luxury of their plate
though there is no objection to the use of
beautiful things, if one possesses them-but
whose first thought is comfort and a littlo
season of unclouded, and, therefore, rational
enjoyment, on such basis as can be repeated
and made part, indeed, of the daily life
its milestones and happy occasions. Jennie

Education of Women.

A woman who cannot cook dinner as
well as eat it, make a dress as well as wear
it, a woman who cannot turn her hand to
anything when occasion requires, who is not
able to train her servants practically, and
teach them the value of economy of time as
well as money, is not, in my opinion, edu-
Gated at all, though she may be very much
cultivated, and even have been to college
and taken degree.
Look at Hester in her dairy, now Would
she look any fresher, healthier, happier i'll a
cap and gown, OF be more usefully employed
in porting over comic sections or reading
questionable Greek plays? Take my word
for it, girls would be all the better and
homes all the happier if more time and at
tention were given to domestic affairs, and if
every woman knew how to be her own cook,
housekeeper and dressmalzer. Such things
are far more easily learned than dead Ian
guages or mathematics, and are of infinitely
more use to woman in going through life

Give Us u Little Time,

Americans are accused far and wide of

are so, it is only because we are young, be-

when it has found bread for the millions that
depend on young mother, the country will
show its ability to make beautiful things of
its own.-Chicago HeraM.

Gen. LOYelI II. RouSSeau.

The account recently printed of the killing
of Gen. Nelson by Gen. jeff G. Davis, at
Louisville, brings to mind the late Gen.
Lowell II. Rousseau. He was not connected
in any way with that unfortunate tragedy,
but he commanded a brigade in Nelson's
army and was quite prominent actor i'll
the stirring scenes around Louisville at that
time. He was large, splendid looking man,
fond of the pomp and circumstances of war,
and always appeared in full uniform, even in
battle. He gloried i'll a fight, and bore HIM
self so CALAMITY wherever he went that he
became the idol of the soldiers not only of
his own command, but of the entire corps.
He was one of the few officers whose appear
ance in camp brought every man from his
tent to join in the roar OF cheers which
greeted him as he passed. One day several
officers were at Gen. Steadman's headquar-
tiers, whose brigade adjoined RouSseau's,
when that well known roar broke out in the
camps all around them. 1t spread from
regiment to regiment and from camp to
camp until 10000 Threats were yelling like
