Just wait, my brave lad, one moment, 1 pray;
Manhood Town lies where: can you tell me the
way?
Oh, by toiling and trying We reach the land
4 bit with the head, a bit with the hand
It's by climbing up the steep hill Work,
It's by keeping out of the wide street Shirk,
IT'S by always taking the weak ones part,
It's by giving mother a happy heart,
It's by keeping bad thoughts and actions down.
Oh, that is the way to Manhood Town.

fired Oct. 10, 1885. There was no severe

period after it, and should be written Mr. if
any mark is used. The apostrophe 9 Is used
to mark contraction by e%lision; the period y
to mark contraction by division. But univer-

rule.

Christmas is often written Xmas in place
Of the regular name. The x is supposed
to represent the cross upon which our saviour
was cruciied, and is used in place of the
name Christ. It is perfectly proper, but

Good Home Made Apple Butter.
Home made apple butter used to be a part
Of every country family's provision for the
winter. Mrs. S. D. Power tells just how this
article is made as excellent as it ought always
to ba
The basis is sweet cider, which is to be
boiled down to one-hak its original quantity,
when three-fourths as much, by measure, OF
apples, pared and cut small, are to be added
and boiled to a pulp. Good care is required
to have everything clean, to skim the cider
well and keep it from scorching by too hot o
fire after it boiis, and when the apples begin
to cook the whole must be watched and
stirred constantly with a long wooden bat,
having a scraper eight inches long and three
wide fixed at right angles to the handle.
This stirrcr scrapes the bottom Of the Kettle
at each motion, and keeps the mass from
scorching, which is ruin to the whole in one
moment. With the apples are added CHINA
mon and cloves tied in cheese cloth and sus-
pended in the kettle by a long string; also
one-fourth the weight of the apples in sugar,
or less If they are sweet. It takes two days
to finish one boiling of apple butter, boiling
down the cider and pairing the fruit the first
day; the next, stewing the whole, which is
then turned into firkins for keeping. It needs
no sealing.
Prime apple butter, like mince pie and rich
fruit cake, should be six weeks old before
using, to attain its full flavor.

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity OF the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but it's circulation
Isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority In
the world on the true history and pedigree oil
the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey'd dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. of Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. OF Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-emnenty the kind of informa-
ton that all gentlemen OF intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history Indeed, the trac-
ing of some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the lite and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS
TER to go upon every farm in the country,
from Maine to California I; and there are sew

A BLAZING TIME.

Chicago's Fire-Fighters Have an Exciting
Experience Subduing a COnflagratiOn in
Which a Large Business Block and Sew
eral Tencnlents were DestrOyed-Sevcral
Firemen Seriously Injured.
CHICAGO, March 3O.-ShOrtly after mid
night fire destroyed the Davis & Rankin
block, at Lake and Peoria streets, to-
gether with several tenement houses and
cottages adjoining, causing a loss of about
100000. The block was a five-story brick,
l25xl5G, and was occupied by half a dozen
firms, the largest being Davis e. Rankin,
dealers in creamery supplies. In the
building were also Zimmerman e.
Co., refrigerator manufacturers; Line,
Weaver & Co., fruit cans: the
Goss Printing and Press Company,
Lintholm Picture Frame Company, Chica-
go Egg Condensing Company and the
Steele Keye Drive Chain Company. The
FIRE was q furious one and o all alarm
called out thirty engines. The blazing
building lowered above a nest of closely
huddled frame houses, occupied mostly by
wOrkingmen. These little houses sur
rounded the big block, and every wall
crushed a home. The fire was one of incl
dents, narrow escapes of firemen follow
ing each other in quick succession, and it
was remarkable that no one was
killed. Marshal Murphy, with. COM
panies Nos. II and 81, made
his way to the fourth floor, while
truck 2's men were on the floor below.
Suddenly there was an explosion of hot
air that knocked down every man on the
fourth floor. All were badly bruised. The
names of the men are: Assistant Marshal
Murphy, Captain Anderson, Lieutenant
SlOat, Pipeman John Mcdonald, Pipeman
j. j. Leahy, Pipeman John Goodman,
Pipeman William Cannon and Driver Ben
Allison, of No. II, ard Captain Weber,
Lieutenant Lynch and Pipemen Haas,
Kelly and Lesser, Of No. 81, and Pipeman
Kirkland, of No. Is. Anderson and Kirk
land were the most badly used, but all
scrambled down the stairway and escaped.
Most of them remained on duty, though it
will be some days before they recover
from the effects of the explosion. The
total loss will probably reach 100000.
Davis & Rankin owned the building,
which cost them $4,000 two years ago.
The owners had over $4,000 worth of
stock, machinery and fixtures. The build
ing and stock were insured for 10000.
GOss & Co. lose S5O,OOO, insured for S25,-
600. The loss of the other firms will
bring the figures up to about $4,000 No
one seems 10 know what started the fire,
but the Waterman is sure it started on the
top floor.
During the time of its progress it was
one Of the most stubborn and difficult fires
to deal with that has been experienced in
long time.

removing a portion Of his larynx, per-
formed by a skillful physician. Herr Kay
ser had previously submitted to the opera

which is held to greatly diminish the risk
attending the operation Of laryngOtomy.
Within six months two such cases
have resulted fatally, in one Of which the
patient, who was operated upon by DR..
Bergman. died within four days. Tine
fatal termination of these cases is consid-
cred sufficient justification Of the position

there can be no hope Of harvest from
