ly pumpkin pie:
Take sharp knIfe-the best of it's
kind
And pare off the pumpkins golden
rind;
Then cut into cube-shaped blocks,
buff,
And slowly simmer till soft
enough.
Run through a sisve-the best to
be bought
Till you have of the sifted pump
kin quart.
Oh, the "cropple crown" hen will
mourn to day
For her ritled nest in the scented
hay.
For ere your pumpkin pies you can
bake
Out of her nest you must nine eggs
take
Beat yolks and whites in , separate
dish
Till both are foamy and light as
you wish.
White sugar, one cup and half
you take,
And two quarts of milk your pies
to make;
Then of cinnamon, nutmeg, and
mace, each one;
You take teaspoonful ere you are
done.
Next spices, sugar, eggs, pumpkin.
and milk,
You must beat together till "smooth
as silk"
THAT is the curious, homeiy
phrase
My grandmother used in those old
time days)
Now dozen of ralsins, more Or
less,
To each pie will add flavor, you
must confess.
The whole must be baked in a
shell-like crust,
And, just as it hardens, with sugar
you dust.
If you follow this rule, when done
you'll cry,
"Here's genuine, old-time pump
kin pie!"

In a published biographical sketch
of Hon. John +. Potter, of Wisconsin,
some reference was made TO the alter
cation which he had in congress with
Roger A. Prior, in 1850, which nearly
resulted in a duel. The ~biographer
says: For months afterwards Potter's
friends, somewhat against his will,
hedged him about with their vigilance,
accompanying him in his walks TO and
fro, as Prior had threatened 10 attack
him. One of these friends was Col.
William S. King, Of Minnesota, who
was as quick a. a cat and strong as a
tiger. Whenever Potter started from
his seat 10 leave the house King rose
at his side like an apparition. Isl.

A Very Costly Building.

Two young ladies Of Maine have
started TO raise funds for a town hall
1T Canton by the deceptive progressive
letter scheme. Each writes two letters
asking for ten cents, herself sends ten
cents 10 the central treasury and asks
each recipient of a letter to follow her
example until the series has reached
the fifteenth stage. A friend Of these
enthusiastic young persons remarks
that the plan seems simple, but the
young ladies' will raise enough for a
handsome building by these insignifi-
cant contributions, which no one Of
the givers will miss. But how about
the postage billi Uncle Sam will be
the gamer by the sum of s2,017.12

have TO spend for postage before they
get through, and then there are the

Teaching In East Tennessee.

The Listener has spoken before now,
he believes. of the school for colored
people at Morristown, in East Tennes-
see, where a couple of Boston girls are
doing O wonderful work in the ip-
struction Of a people who are keenly
intent upon mastering the secrets OF
''book larnin'." II is a noble exile,
the one to which these girls have con-
demned themselves; and yet there
are O of teachers in the public
schools of Boston who might well
wish that they had pupils SO eager
as these black people in Tennessee.
In a letter which one Of these la
dies wrote lately TO a near relative in
Boston, she told OF her laborious task
in directing two new teachers in their
work, in planning the thirty-nine
classes so that their work should
not conflict in examining and grad
ing the new pupils, who are Of all
ages, and directing things generally:
But the letter goes on: 81 enjoy it all
very much. It seems to me l never
had such kind, thoughtful students
and SO eager to learn; they drive me
from morning to night. II we could
only get our new building it would be
such a comfort" She takes much
pleasure in the views of the grand
mountains about her, and evidently
enjoys the odd mistakes of her pupils,

A Good Dog Story.

DIR. Boyer, of this place, has q very
fine Newfoundland dog, with a kind,
intelligent face, which accompanies
him on his visits TO the sick. His
name is Rover. He seems TO take a
deep interest in materia medica, and
TO understand the treatment Of ordin-
airy ills. Not long ago Christian Mil
Ter, who thinks the only good CANNES
are the dead ones, gave Rover a dog
button. Rover, installing il for a
mint lozengc, Of which he is very
fond, and believing Christian to be his
friend, ate ID. But he soon afterward
discovered that it was poison. SO,
running homo as fast as he could,
he went to the doctors dispensary, got
down a bottle of tincture of lobelia,
pulled the cork out with his teeth,
drank copiously Of il, and by the use
of this emetic escaped death bypoison-
ing. Since then his demeanor toward
Christian Miller has been cold and
distant. -Punxsutawney Spirit.

Not all persons are equally inter
ested in studying the laws Of nature,
but to such as have q taste for investi-
cation into the conditions Of life, the
following observations will be attrac-
tive. They were made by a medical
officer who was attached 10 an Eng
l!sh expedition sent in search of Sir
John Franklin T.s conclusion to
which they directly lead is that the
conditions under which life is possible
are fixed and limited.
AT the beginning Of winter | took a
norton OF cheese which abounded in
mites, and divided it into three por-
tons, one of which was exposed at
once 10 the intense cold of winter; an
other was dried and then exposed along
with the former until the return OF
summer; the third portion was pre-
served at a temperature which was at
no time less than probably twelve or
fifteen degrees below the freezing point
of water.
On the return of summer and warm
weather the three portions were ex-
posed TO exactly the same conditions,
but they we're not permitted to come
in contact
The two portions which had been
exposed TO intense cold, after two
months exposure to a temperature 10
to 90 degs. above the freezing point OF
water, did not exhibit the slightest
signs of life, while the last and third
portion was swarming with mites in
the most active state.
The cheese which belonged to the
ships stores was often during winter
exposed to 10 or 20 dogs. below zero.
Before winter it gave signs of possess.
ing the germs of an abundant race OF
mites; but having passed through the
| winter, after two months and a half
Of temperature above the freezing
point of water, frequent and careful
examinations with a microscope in
vaIiably failed TO detect any signs OF
returning life.-Youth's Companion.

A Bit Of Canadian History.

February 10, even more than the
LIST of July, is the anniversary Of the
birth of the political union Of our
Canadian neighbor. II was on this
day hat the British parliament passed
the act for the union of upper and
lower Canada. The lower province
reflected the France Of Louis XIV, in
the undecided character of its French
medievalism, frightened by nothing
so much as that terribly disturbing
thing which unresting people call
progress, and which these peaceful
Canadians allow TO rush past them in
its wild path quite unheeded. West
ern Canada, on the contrary, a
wilderness, in the newness Of life
filled with an eager desire 10 enjoy
all the benefits Of the com
mercial activity, clamored for political
change. The struggle for a liberal
government under q ministry respon-
sible TO parliament, vas interrupted
by the rebellion of 1887, which Lord
Durham put down with the iron hand
of military force. And though his
exercise Of dictatorial powers caused
him TO be dubbed Lord High Sedi-
toner" by The London Times, and led
TO his recall, the ministry and parlia-
ment were forced 10 substantially
adopt his plan for the Legislative union
Of the two provinces, a plan Of which
the ultimate result was tho British
North American act Of 1867 and the
establishment Of the Dominion of
Canada But the unfortunate creator
Of a new empire sunk under the load
Of opprobrium which his enemies cast
upon him, and died on July 25, 1871,
OF chagrin and disappointment.-PhiE

That life of stirring adventure

man from growing old nor brings on
premature decay there are many liv-

doubtful if there is more striking
case than that of the Hungarian pa
triot, Louis Kossuth He is over 80
years of age, yet, with good health
and undecayed faculties manages in
his rural home near Turin to extract
much enjoyment from life. 1t is
true that he is no longer able to
climb the Alps in pursuit of bis fav-
orite botanical studies, but he has
over 1000 dried specimens, and he
moves about in the handsome garden
which he had planted himself.
