A Ninth Ward schoolboy administered

ishment for his pugnacity his teacher re-

composition before the school. The
youth has in him the making of great
poet, as his effusian shows. Two hours
of solitary confinement evolved the fol-
lowing:
When was awalking around one day met

Before said a word to him he begun Airing

Do you suppose I'd stand ADDING nothing on

While he was singing rocks and stones and
everything aroundl

begun to cry.

The First Presidential Home.

President Cleveland was the first OF
the twenty-five Presidents to build HIM
self a home in Washington and occupy
it while the chief executive. General
Grant owned three houses in Washington
during his second term, but never occu-
pied any of them. Heretofore the sum-
mer homes of the Presidents have been
in cottage at the Soldiers Home, COM
monty known as the Presidents cottage.
1t is not the property of the Govern
ment, but of the soldiers, and they have
rendered 1t free to the different Presi-
dents. Mr.. Lincoln always spent his
summers there. General Grant would
spend q portion of the summer there,
but most of the time at Long Branch.
Hayes always spent his summers there,
but Arthur never did. He would gener-
ally 20 off on fishing expedition during
the summer. When President Cleveland
was elected he was invited to make this
his summer home, but he declined, and
purchased Oak View as summer home:
I learn that Mr.. Cleveland will not sell
Oak View, but will retain the property
and rent it, for he believes the amount
of money invested will bring him a bet
tor income from this source than by any
other investment he might make. Then
in case he ever decides to take up his
residence in Washington, he will have a
home. e.-Atlanta Constitution.

1t will not surprise anyone to learn
that, although there was some falling off
in the value of the gold product in this
country duling the year 1883, the output
of all the precious metals was greater
than ever before. The mining industry
has been active, and the gain has been
especially noticeable in the production of
copper, the increase for the year in COM
parison with 1887 being $7,S9s, 744.
The decrease in the value of gold pro-
duced was s2,512, 1865, but this was
nearly offset by the increase in the item
of silver alone, the gain shown being
80, 31s, S63, while there was also an in
crease in lead of 81, ,632, 557, making the
total increase in the value of the precious
metals for the year So, 337, 799.
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1889-03-21

There are twenty-eight Rear Admirals
on the retired list living in Washington.
1t used to be said that if one threw a
brick over the wall of the League Island
Navy Yard on pay day it would hit at
least four Rear Admirals, but these ven
cradle heroes would seem to be still
more numerous nowadays at the Capital.
Washington is notoriously a snug har-
Dor for officers in both branches of the
military service. The Post counts up the
army and navy residents at ten Generals,
fourteen Colonels, FIVE MAJORS, twenty
five Captains, eleven Lieuteuants. twen-
ty-eight Rear Admirals, sixteen Commo-
dores, and three naval Captains. Most
of them are rich and live in fine houses,
which they own.

Rendering Lard.

A prominent Chicago packer gives the
following directions for rendering lard
so it will be nice and white: "Grind
the fat or chop it as you would sausage
meat, where you have but small quan-
tity, using the chopping bowl and potato
masher. The object is to get the fat
into such condition that the tissue and
fbrine will separate quickly from the
clear fat. Now, by the mild heat and
constant stirring, melt to the consistency
of thin Cruel, then scatter salt enough
over the surface to carry down all tho
scraps. Salt does not melt in pure lard,
and therefore will not give it saline
taste. Then allow it to settle, and dip
the clear fat out into vessel, using, a
strainel, or into another kettle, so as to
remove all scraps from the bottom.
After removal of scraps, cook for fifteen
minutes, 80 as to roast any scraps still
remaining in the fat, and your lard Is
ready to put away and will keepas long
as wanted. To keep lard it is necessary
to raise the heat at 1sO degrees. 1t meits
at 10 to 12O degrees. Let our farmers
and their wives try the above method
and they will never 60 back to the old
way of cooking lard again. In answer
to an inquiry as to how to prevent lard
from boiling over while cooking, put in
a little salt. This is the best known
remedy.--New York Herald.
