A curious sceno was witnessed tho other
day in the Office Of Lincoln county hotel
A farmer brought in n big basket in which,
carefully wrapped in clean napkins, were
nine yellow skinned ducks, evidently dressed
for the market with great care. The farmer
threw the basket on the register book before
the gaze Of the hotel man, and brushing away
tear, heaved deep sigh and said: II mado
up my mind to kill em tho other night. We
I'LL set q sight by 'em. There is Sally, us
pretty duck rs cycr had web foot, and
Betsy, sho always slept behind tho kitchen
stove, and John, he was proud drake and
used to follow mo all over tho farm" And
thus tho farmer went on, taking up each
dead duck in turn, calling it by some atfcc-
tomato name, and telling how wonderful
pet it was. Said tho farmer in conclusion,
II was whole day i:iliins these ducks, tho

GoloSf,eS.


Goloshes formerly called galoshes,, from
galoche, C. word through the French derived
from galochu, tho Spanish for patton, clog
or wooden shoe. The French applied tic
term ct first to shoes partly Of leather and
wood, the soles being wood and the uppers of
leather. The term was introduced into Eng
land Us a cordwainers tcchnicality to signify
method of repairing old boots and shoes by
putting a narrow strip Of leather above tho
solo so as to surround the lower part of the
upper leather 1t was also adopted by the
patten and clog makers to distinguish what
were also called French clogs from ordinary
clogs and pattens. Clogs wcro mere soles Of
wood, with straps across tho instep t., keep
them on. Pattens wcro tho same, with iron
rings to raise them from tho ground, but tho
galoshcs were wooden solcs, usually with

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

CLEAN brasses on mahogany or other fur niture by rubbing with chamois skin dipped in either powdered whiting or rotten stone mixed with sweet oil. !,
 FAT bacon is good food for those with consumptive tendency; so is the homely sardine, with it's wealth of oil and earthly phosphates. A well-soaked sardine, eaten bodily, bones and all, is no mean help to q consumptive patient.
 ONE can get on nicely without fresh meat for two or threo months, if they only think so, and fruit, berries and vegetables arc much better. Good bread and butter, with saucer of berries, is the only dessert needed, and such simple, plain fare keeps the blood cool, and makes one feel better, and is less work.
 FRIcAssEED SwEETBREADS.-Tof fricassee cut up the sweetbreads, which must be pre- viously cooked, in small pieces, prepare 8 gravy by melting two tablespoonfuls of butter and stirring in q tablespoonful of flour and adding a toacupful of soup stock or water; lay pieces of sweetbread in pan with the gravy, season with pepper and salt and boil up once. Garnish with sliced lemon or pieces of fried bread.
 BAKED PEACH PUDDING. Break stale bread in small pieces and cover it with cold water enough to soften it completely; then press it in @ colander to extract all the su- perfluous water. To quart of soaked bread allow pint of peaches free from stones and skin, and custard made ot 8 pint of milk, four eggs, and as much sugar as will pleasantly sweeten the pudding; mix all these ingredients, put them in an earthen dish, and bake until the pudding is nicely Drowned and the custard firm. Serve the pudding hot, with sifted powdered sugar.
 A GOOD general recipe for spiced fruit, including peaches, entrants, crab apples and green tomatoes is as follows: Peel the peaches and stick 8 few cloves in each. For seven pounds of peaches take three and 8 half pounds of brown sugar, two ounces of stick cinnamon and one quart of vinegar; boil these together Q flew minutes and then put in the peaches. When tender take them out and put them into glass or stone jars, boil the sirup down almost one-half and pour it over the fruit. In the case of entrants, etc., put tho cloves, one ounce into the sirup. Spiced fruit make an exec! lent relish to serve with meats.

AMUSING ANECDOTES,

A FAMILY live in Harlem who never hav6 any clocks in tho house, because canary which they have always warbles the hours At twelve o'clock the bird turns three springs backward and sings "Annie Laurie" The people are awakened at seven o'clock each morning by the strains of 'Bid Me Good-bye.'
 CARLYLE when a youth attended Pres- byterian church at Commertrees, Dum- friesshire. The preacher, Red Davie Gil. lespie, spoke on "Youth and beauty being laid in the grave" Something in the dis course tickled the future philosopher. He ''smiled audibly," ~'hereupon the dominic turned on him, remarking: "Mistake me not, young man; it is youth alone that you possess"
 ARCHDEACoN COLBY, while preaching in London 8 short time ago, was speaking rather unkindly of the devil. Recollecting himself in the midst of his fervor, and re- calling the motto that the devil Is not so black as he Is painted, he replied to the fancied remonstrances of those who would ask him to give the devil his due. "Ah, my friends" he exclaimed, Eff we give the devil his due, many of us would be miss ing"
 ONE day clergyman's wife, preparing to give 8 collation. to her husbands associa-
 
 ing in the habit of doing extra work on Sun- day, told her cook that she had better boil the ham for the sandwiches on Saturday, lest if boiled on Monday it might be too warm to slice. "W'y," drawled the cook, ''Miss W'ite, yer don't think it ud be wickid ter bile it Sunday, do yer, eff we billed l it slotps"
 A CAT in Mississippi recently gave up his life to save the community. The river was very high, and the dyke which had been built to keep out the waters gave way in | one place. and the water was pouring in l unnoticed, when tho cat passed by and realizing the condition of affairs, crawled into the hole and stopped the flood. It is estimated that sSO. 900 and number of lives were saved by the heroic feline, and the l villagers have built beautiful tomb of red l granite, with mice carved in relief, over tho bones of the animal.

POINTS FOR PouLTnRERs.

EcALDED sweet milk and cooked rice win stop diarrhea in chickens. Avoid giving sloppy food when in this condition.
 WHEN eggs are the sole object, no males are required Hens often lay better with out them and eggs keep fresh longer.
 LET poultry have full range as soon as feathered. Plenty of exercise will make them thrive better, grow faster and keep healthier.
 DUCKLINGs, poults and chicks should be furnished with their drinking water from inclosed fountains. Open dishes of cold water are death traps.
 WHEN fowls are molting, give them tinct- ure of iron in their drinking water in the proportion of tablespoonful of the tlncturc to one quart of water.
 NESTS should be cleaned often and new straw put ln them. Where sitting hens have raised a brood too much care can not be shown in this direction.
 DON'T forget to provide shady places for your chicks on hot days. They require it as much as persons do and suffer moro in pro portion from the effects of a broiling sun.
 WHEN eggs of pure breeds command a high price it will pay to feed such fowls with common eggs. By so doing good low rate food is furnished and high rate re- suits produced, at the least possible cost.
 PERcnEs, nests and all woodwork about the poultry house should be watched care fully during hot weather for vermin, and kerosene should be often and freely used Be liberal with carbolic powder also on the floors and runways.
 DRY bread soaked in either warm water or milk makes the best food for young chicks until they are three weeks old. At ten days old begin to give an evening feed of cracked wheat. When three weeks old give corn bread crumbled fine three times a day, alternating with soaked bread and plenty of greens. Let them have plenty of pure water at all times. They should have good range, but not be allowed to run in the grass until after the dew is oil.
 THE egg-eating habit in hens may be cured by outwitting them. Build the nests in such way that the hens can not get at the eggs, such as nail kegs stood on end half filled with hay or straw, then the hen can not reach it when standing on the edge. Another way is to make nests in dark places where the hen can see to go into the nest but not after she gets there. Feed plenty of crushed oyster shells so as to make the eggshells hard. When hens are at liberty or have plenty of exercise they are less liable to contract this habit than when kept in confinement.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.

According to the dispatches received from New Orleans, MT Andrew Price, the democratic candidate, was yesterday elected congressman from the third Louisiana district over Mir Henry c. Minor, the republican candidate, to succeed the late Edward J. Gaya Though the district has been known as the sugar bowl district, the republican managers did not put out sugar enough to corrupt the honest vote and elect their man.
 The eyes of the nation have been centered on this election, not because of any actual importance so much as for the presence of committee of visiting republican statesmen from the north who exercised sort of paternal supervision over the polls. Congressmen Burrows of Michigan, Powell of Illinois and Peters of Kansas have been down there for several weeks studying the methods employed, and incidentally presumably laying plans for counting out the demo- crat after he should have been elected. For the republican maj jorlty in the fifty first congress is most inconveniently small. The declaration made by Congress man Burrows in an interview telegraphed to the New York Press, and published in yesterdays issue of that paper, that no election can be fairly con- ducted ill the south, is significant of the purpose of his party in regard to this particular case in the next congress. A favorite theory with republican con- gressmen has been that their candidates,
 when defeated, have been counted out, and it may easily be presumed that MT
 Burrows and his associates will paint the alleged miscount in the third Louisiana district ill the most lurid colors for the edifcation of the next house. But the
 fact remains that MT Price was elected
 and very largely because of dissatisfac.
 tion among republicans themselves with
 his candidacy. Mir Minor was distaste
 full to the Kellogg faction, and it may be
 easily imagined that the immaculate
 gang that follow this impeccable states
 man found no difficulty in cutting the political throat of the man who was
 distasteful to them.
 There is no room for an honest allega tion of fraud or miscount in yesterday
 election. Mir Price was fairly and hon estly elected.
