Conkling aud Thurman.

Judge Thurman and Mr.. Conkling
were great friends. They used to go up
to the Hot Springs in Virginia for their
rheumatism, when both were in the Sen
ate, and enjoyed themselves hugely.
Judge Thurman would often say, "Conk-
ling is mighty good company when he
chooses" A scene once occurred between
them in the Senate that is perhaps the
most graphic and graceful instance of the
retort courteous on record. 1t isn't a new
story, by any means, but it is true, and it
is a irst-rate story, too. Mr.. Conkling
was one day making speech, during
which he repeatedly turned to Judge
Thurman and addressed remarks to him.
They were not always of very gratify-
ing nature, and Judge Thurman, who
was very peppery old gentleman, at
last lost his temper.
"Does the Senator from New York" "
he roared, "expect me to answer him ey-
cry time he turns to me ?"
For a moment Mr.. COnkling hesitated,
and everybody expected terrific explo-
sion. Then, with an air of exquisite
courtesy, he replied
"When 1 speak of the law | turn to
the Senator from Ohio as the Mussulman
turns toward Mecca. l turn to him as |
do to the English common law, as the
worlds most copious fountain Of human
jurisprudence"
The Democrats gave rousing cheer,
and Judge Thurman walked over on the
Republican side and shook hands with
Conkling.

Domestic Recipes.

CURRANT JELLY.-Put the currants
over the fire in stone or porcelain ket-
tie, mash a little with wooden pestle
and cook until soft. Then drain them
through flannel bag over night into an
earthen bowl. Do not squeeze them or
the jelly will be cloudy. For each bowl
of juice, allow a bowl of sugar; heat the
sugar very hot, stirring often to prevent
burning. Boil the juice twenty minutes
and skim thoroughly. Add the hot su-
gar and boil twenty minutes, then pour
at once into glasses, and stand in the sun
few hours.
When you wish to serve apple sauce
with meat prepare it in this way Cook
the apples until they are very tender,
then stir them thoroughly so that there
will be no lnmps at all add the sugar
and a little gelatine dissolved in warm
water, tablespoonful TO a pint of sauce;
pour the sauce into bowls, and when cold
it will be stiff like jelly, and can be turn.
ed out on a plate. Cranberry sauce can
be treated in the same way.
Veal salad, if made with care, will ac-
tually take the place of chicken salad,
and will deceive the epicure. Use at this
season of the year a little lettuce torn in
small bits and plenty of celery salt.
Make the dressing just the same as if the
meat were chicken.
An economical and appetizing way to
cook very small new potatoes is 10 first
wash and scrape them well, boil them,
and the instant they are done, drain off
the water, dry them of, and then in the
kettle, right with them, make milk gra-
Wy. This is a nice dish for breakfast or
supper.

Hints on SlCintDiing.

AS the season of swimming is at hand
few hints to learners may be useful. Tho
first essential is to know how to use the
hands Alright, with the view to keeping the
head we'll out of water, and the next is to
keep one foot on the bottom until sufficient
confidence is acquired to raise it at intervals.
After few trials the learner will be able
to raise it altogether.
Then, be not in a hurry to use the hands,
as if life depended on striking out, but try
and acquire deliberation. Let every stroke
have full sweep of the arms, and let the
feet take care of themselves. II is not ne
cessary that the feet should be raised
to the surface Of the water. The body,
from the shoulders downward, should be
kept at an angle of thirty degrees to the
plane Of the horizon. This inclination,
with every forward movement, will tend to
throw the head out Sperm whales, when
frightened, sink their hukes and throw their
heads out Of water 10 obtain their highest
speed The head Of a sperm whale is ilat
at the front, and is one-third the size of the
body; the head of the fnback is pointed
the one throws his head out, the other rush
es through the water horizontally.
The learner who wishes TO acquire the art
of swimming for recreation and not for pro-
fessional purposes ought to pay little atten-
ton to the movement of the feet until he
has perfect control Of his hands then the
feet will instictively come into play and
perform their part without much thought.
Who think Of their feet when walking? in
the early stages Of learning a swimmer does
not seem to be satisfied until he brings his
| feet to the surface. This has a tendency 10
strain the body Just above the hips and 10
bury the head. Swimming in a seaway the
body will take many positions, according TO
the height of the waves encountered. Some
times it will be vertical, and at other times
more or less inclined to keep the head out.
1t is well for beginner 10 have a person
with him to keep his hand under the chin
at first, while the use of the hands is being
acquired These hints apply only to COM
mon horizontal swimming that having
been acquired and confidence obtained
there will be no difficulty in learning all
the other movements such as swimming on
the side or on the back, diving or turning
heels over head, forward or backward.
Remember this, too, that if person Ia
ken with cramps will throw himself upon
his back he will float without effort, even if
his legs should be drawn up. Never neg
lect to stuff the ears with cottonwood.
Many persons have attributed deafness TO
taking water through the cars when swim

MY NEIGHBOR AND L.

Oh. pity my neighbor over the way,
Who has nothing TO do but yawn all day
No little hands TO tumble her hair,
No little nuisance" to vex her with care,
No little torment to worry and tease,
Nothing to do but consult her own ease.
Poor, rich neighbor, am sorry for you
Sorry, because you have nothing to do"
Sorry, because as the days go by
You are restless and weary, you know not why
And once in q while can see the trace
Of many tear on your proud, fair face.
You see l am only laborers wife,
Doing my part in the treadmill oflife
Joe. my husband is of all day,
Fighting the giants of want away
Baby ard are busy too,
But we've plenty of time to be sorry for you.
Baby's a nuisance, plague and joy,
But then, you see he's my own sweet boy
I have no time for a groan or a sigh
No time to be idle as the days 90 by;
Ny arms are full as the day is long
Full as my heart with its happy song.
Poor. rich neighbor over the way,
Watching my baby and me at play,
What of your wealth if your heart is bare?
'Tis to love and be loved that makes life so fair
No neighbor mine l can tell you true,
Indeed, I'd rather be / than you.

that if he would write a caustic reply to

He caught me in his arms and then for a

with simple word of introduction, in

get his paper out Of the express office for
few days. 1t was a kindness to him and
did not hurt my paper in the end.

One Of the very latest ideas for ladies
whose time hangs heavy on their hands is
to make patchwork bedcoyer Of the backs
Of discarded kid gloves. To match and
combine the colors, both Of the kid and the
ornamental stitching, and to tin the shapes
affords an occupation far more fascinating
and prolonged than "crazy patchwork"
When finished, the quilt must be lined with
a delicate soft silk or satin. 1t will really
then look little nearer 70 being worth the
trouble of making it than might be imagined.

Johnney, who has been very much IN
terested in the life of Washington, thought
he would test grandpa's historical know
ledge. So, as the old gentleman sat be-
fore the fire reading his paper, Johnney
began: Grandpa, do YOU know what
great historical event happened in 1893 ?"
Grandpa slowly raised his eyes and look
edat Johnney over his spectacles. "Why,"
said he, "that was the year l was born"

The eScandinavians have but one church
in this country, rude little structure
near Danbury, Conn, where the founder,
Robert Sandeman, died in III. There
are said to be two in Europe. The dis
tinguishing tenet of this sect is simple as
sent to the teaching and divinity Of
Christ, and the rejection Of all mystical
sense from the Scriptures. Among their
custom is that of kissing, and it is quite
the thing during the religious exercises
for the brothers and sisters thus to ex-
change greetings.
