Heroes of Jacksonville.

The Philadelphia Telegraph says
there is one pleasant story which
comes up to Us from the plague strick-
en- town Of Jacksonville. Fla. 1t is
that all the clergymen of that place,
without single exception, are at their
posts nursing the sick, ministering to
The dying and reverently paying the
last sad rites of religion to the dead.
While we give SO much glory to men
who in tumult, fury and excitement,
give their lives in battle, these brave
men, who fight the insidious, often
more dangerous enemy the pestilence,
in its chosen stronghold, should not
be forgotten nor deprived of any
honor that is their due, 1t is much
easier to die heading an impetuous,
impulsive charge, with all the world
Ioo':ing on through the published &C
counts, than to sit quietly down by
the side Of one who is afflicted with
the deadly, contagious disease. Thi:
is what The heroic clergymen and ply,
sicians of Jacksonville are doing ir
their perilous day. They are taking
their lives in their hands hourly, with
noble, serene courage, facing death
through their simple sense of duty like
this, and those VINO rise to the heish
OF it should he not only gratefully
tat Esyerepsly remembered.

Political demagogues are too willing
to employ reporters to manufacture
campaign material by no means COM
plimentary to the candidates of the OPP
poslte party, and never once trouble
themselves with the tho ught Of its fall
slty.
We know that the public record of
a candidate is considered as public
property; but that does not justify the
common practice of circulating SIAN
derous reports about the private char
aCter OF the man. The good name
of public man is as highly esteemed
by its fortunate bearer as the boosted
integrity of the most retired citizen.
This custom will drive the best
men from the public service, and
leave the legislative halls in the pos
session of demagogues.
Man has no more right to rob his
fellow men of COED name, than the
midnight robber has to stealthily creer
into the merchants store and steal his
goods. Yet Madam Gossip has her
followers no less among private citl-
zens than among political aspirants
The politician claims that it is his
duty 10 expose the faults of those who
ask the suftrages of a free people, and
the society man excuses himself BY
saying that the truth ought to be made
known. While this is true to some
extent, yet it is not the duty of every
one to circulate what he kn0u,S to be
true, There are times when the truth
should not be told-when silence i.
necessary,
But what is the evidence upon which
80 many charges are made, by the
politician?
Is it positive or doubtful
He who cirCulatcs a false report
even II he is ignorant Of the fact tina

by allowing himself to be the subiec

A u r FOR LAZINESS.

A late reverend gentleman who re-
sided in Yorkshire, and was as well
known for his eecentricity as, his tai
ents, one day sent his son, q lazy lad
about twelve years of age, to catch his
horse. The lad went sauntering along
with, a grain Of corn in q hand and
a bride in the other, dragging the
reins along the ground, Thomas"
said the father, calling after him in a
very solemn tone of voice "come here,
Thomas, l want to say a word to you
before you Co." The lad returned,
and the parson proceeded: "You
know, Thomas, that I gave you a
great deal of counsel. You know that
I have taught you, before closing
your eyes, to say, Now Lay me down
to sleep ETC., besides a good many
other things in way of explanation
and advice. But this is the last OPP
portunity l may ever have of speaking
to you. [ couldn't let it pass without
giving you my parting charge. Be a
good boy, and always say that pretty
prayer before going to sleep. [ fear
l shall never see you again. AS he
said this in a very sad and solemn
manner the poor boy began to be
frightened, and burst into tears with
this exclamation: "Youu never see
me again, pa ?" mo; for I will prob
ably die before you get back with the
horse" This quickened Thomas ideas,
and gathering up the reins, he ran and
caught the horse in less time than he
had ever done before.-Londom Queen.

PENS FOR SWINE.

It pays to do things in a proper way,
and there is, a proper way of caring
for swine. W. presume that no reader
of this journal is without proper pens
for breeding and feeding swine. Many
breeders, however, are without them.
On some farms there is nothing of the
kind. On others, while there is some
p~retense, there might as well not be.
There ought to be on every farm a
pen or pens that are perfectly suitable
to the business. They need not be ex-
pensive, but they should furnish per-
feet shelter and necessary warmth in
winter. A portion of the pen should
be rooted, therefore, with doors so ar
ranged that it can be closed or opened
at will. If the floor is made slanting
to the front, it can be easily washed,
and that is desirable. Pipes running
from an elevated tank that is filled by
windmill power to the pen, r en-
ployed by some, and they thus are
enabled to cleanse the floor whenever
it is desirable. It is a good plan to
divide the pen into two or more COM
partments, with means to throw them
all into one when desired. If for any
reason it is desirable to separate the
hogs, with this plan it can readily be
done Western Rural.

ing. Then butter a tin baking-dish, put
the paste into it, and set in the oven In
ten minutes the cake should rise like a

FLOATING ISLAND.
Take a tablespoonful Of either plum or
currant jelly or raspberry jam to each
white of egg. Beat them until you can
pile the egg foam into pink rocks. Pour
a plain custard into the dish for the sea,
and pile up the island over it. Have some
additional supply of custard in a little
pitcher to use for the first helps, as you
cannot get at the under custard very well
until you have disposed of a few islands.
SALMON SALAD.
Two punches of celery and one very
small head of cabbage, chopped fine, then
add one can of salmon with the bones
picked out. For the dressing take one
tablespoon Of butter, four tablespoons of
sweet milk, four tablespoons vinegar, salt,
pepper and a little French-made mustard,
n egg. Cook like custard, and when
cool put over the chopped cabbage, celery
and salmon. To be eaten as soon as the
dressing is put on. r
CREAM CAKES.
A reliable layer cake. One cup of milk,
three cups Of -four, two cups Of sugar
one-half cup of butter, three te~aspoonfuls
OF baking powder, five eggs (whites or
yolks). Take the whites of the eggs for
a white cake and the yolks for a yellow
cake. Cream, filing, One-half pint Of
milk, two small ~teaspoonfuls of corn

one-half cup of sugar. Cook as boiled

VALUABLE ADVICE TO YOUNG
-.- GIRLS.

% A lady of intelligence and observa-
ton has remarked: III wish [ could
impress upon the minds of the girls
that the chief end of women is not to
marry young If girls could only be
brought to believe that their chances
for a happy marriage were better after
twenty-five than before, there would
be much less misery in the world than
there now is. To be sure, they might
not have so many opportunities to
marry as before, but, as they do not
need to marry but one at a time, it is
necessary that one should be satisfac-
tory. AS a girl grows older, if she
thinks at all, she certainly becomes
more capable of Judging what would
make her happy than when younger.
How many girls of twenty would
think of marrying the mar they would
gladly have married at sixteen? At
thirty a woman who is somewhat in
dependent, and not over anxious to
marry, is much harder to please and
more careful in her choice than one at
twenty. There is good reason for this.
Her mind has improved with her
years, and she now looks beyond mere
appearances in Judging men. She is
apt to ask if this man, who is SC very
polite in company, is really kind
hearted. Do his polite actions spring
