A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that too, by lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her, and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she eoughed necessarily and
could Dot sleep. She bought of US a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night, and with one bottle
has been miraculously cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Iutz." Thus

The Milwaukee Journal keeps right
on in the good work of showing up
the shameful manner in which the
public funds of the great state of Wis
consin are handled for private gain.
So far Gov. Hoard has failed to heed
the demand that he compel treasurer
Harshaw to comply with the law in
the case provided, and turn into the
treasury the interest upon public funds
which he has deposited in banks. If
the citizens of the state are not alto
gether blind to their own interests
they will do what they can towards
righting the matter at the next gen
eral election. Men who will not with
alacrity do their plain, simple duty in
such case are not fit for public ser
wants.

The Indianapolis News, is edited by
personal and political friend of the
president, and the lesson which it has
drawn from the fall elections is of in
terest. The News attributes the losses
of the republicans 4" to failure to fulfill
campaign promises and the enlighten-
ment of the people on questions which
have not been clearly and correctly
understood" If there are other "ques-
tions than those involved in the tariff
policies of the two parties The News
does not mention them, but it says
that tariff reform educational work
has been greatly helped by object les
sons which have been carried into
every mans home within the last
year" The News sees it as it is.

TO CARVE A TURKEY.

The methods of carving turkey given
occasionally in the housekeeping depart
ments of our magazines, have reference
to those instances in which the entire
bird is to be used at a single meal. In
small families this is not likely to be the
case. At a dinner party, where there
are other meat dishes to choose from,
the carver is necessarily in doubt as to
Just how much of his dish will be called
for.
Another point is noticeable. Those
who delineate the art of carving a tur-
key, seem to think there is some special
merit or evidence of skill displayed In
leaving the fork sticking triumphantly
in the breast bone until the turkey is
completely carved. 1t is far better to
use the fork in helping to distribute the
shown hereafter.
First, take the CONSTRUCTED part of the
drumstick between the tines of the cary
ing fork with some frmness. The grip
upon the bone can be made pretty secure
by giving the fork a rotary turn as may
be needed. Now, with a few skillful
cuts, loosen the meat from the drumstick,
leaving it attached to the meat of the
second joint. With the left hand raise
the drumstick, cleared of meat, so as to
open the joint at the union with the bone
above. If necessary, sever with the
point of the carving knife any hgament
that resists. Thus the drumstick bone
is removed and placed on the opposite
side of the platter. Open the dressing
with free incision.
Now the way is clear, and the next
thing is to begin serving. The white
meat and the dark meat are before you
ready for service. That from the drum
stick goes with the dark meat, and slices
may be removed from the wing while in
stu, TO be served as white meat. You
are prepared to serve choice parts and
those less choice, in due proportion as
judgment dictates, and in accordance
with the preferences of those you serve.
You can easily supply the plates as
rapidly as your wife or helper can sup
ply the vegetables and other accessories
that naturally fall to that side of the do
nestle economy.
By proceeding In this way, you VIII
find time for the most deliberate and
graceful movements, and avoid all undue
haste on your part, and awkward wait
ing on the part of the guests. Remem-
Der to avoid serving chunks of meat; aim
to reduce everything to the form OF
tempting slices
Should the turkey be very tough-and
sometimes the turkey does prove tough
it is advisable not TO try to remove the
hip bone. The attempt to do this some
times produces an awkward contre-
temps As regards the breast bone, let II
remain in place until the end. The sec
ond side, if required, may be carved IN
like manner. In this way your work is
always neat and clean, and what is LEFT
win be In such shape that you may con-
6dently expect to receive the thanks OF
the hostess. Christian az Work.

day was observed, until the custom was
revived by Lincoln in 1868.
During all this time the New England
states were holding annual Thanksgiv-
ings on their own account.
1t is but fitting that in the evolution of
this truly national holiday the original
occupiers of the soil should have their
part. The Protestant Episcopal prayer
book of 1889 gives the first Thursday in
November as the day for the observance
Of the annual thanksgiving, except some
ether day is selected by the civil authori-

The Tatiff and the Price of Wool.
The Milwaukee Journal.

Inc MILWAUKEE, JONrnSl.
The handful of men who are extern
sive wool, growers in America are be-
coming alarmed at the evident awaken
ing of the people TO the fact that in
protecting wool they are doing them
selves a grievous injustice. 1t has
also been satisfactorily proved that the
times in which the wool industry has
particularly languished, have been
those identified with a highly protect
i've administration; to wit: during the
free-trade epoch of from 1850 TO 1860,
the selling value of wool advanced 40
per cent. From 1870 to 1880, during
term of the high tariff, prices de-
clined over 20 per cent, while from
1880 to 1888, when the high-taxers
distaneed all of their previous efforts,
prices on the home product took ar
other tumble of so per cent.

A Clam Episode.
The Darlington Republican.


Barney Herril, of Red Rock, who
some ago time narrowly escaped being
blown to atoms by dynamite, came
very near getting ninety days in a
dungeon for attempting to sell CLANS
in Warren. 1t appears that Barney
has been engaged for some time past
in digging the festive clam from the
bottom of the Pecatonica and selling
them in this city for penny apiece;
but as a great many other men were
engaged in the same business, the
market became over stocked anu he
was compelled on several occasions to
return home with his load of pearl
producing shells. Last week he con-
Guided to take load to Warren, which
he did, and entered the gates of the
city yelling clans! clans! at the top
of his voice. A large crowd gathered
around his wagon, and Barney with
the eloquence of Webster explained
how to open the shells and that each
and every clam was liable to contain
valuable pearl. Several parties pur-
chased shells, but as they found no
pearls, they summoned an officer of
the law, who threatened to prosecute
Herril for obtaining money under false
pretense, if he didn't "shy his castor :"
out of town. Barney tried to explain
that his business was legitimate, but it
was no go, and he was compelled to
leave town. We understand that he
sold his load in this city the next day
and that several fine pearls were taken
from the shells. Our Illinois friends
made fatal mistake in ordering Mr..
Herrill out of town, as he intended to
marry one of Warren's fair damsels.
but since being insulted by the officials
of that city, has gone back on the girl
aud swears vengeance on every person
south of the state line.

THANKSGIVING.

The little brown house by the road,
With vines running up to the caves,
Where the summer long there were bursts of
song,
And flutter of wings in the leaves;
oh! the little brown house was merry
In the days that used to be-
When the boys and girls, with their sunny
curls,
We're close at the mothers knee.
But the little brown house by the road
Is lonely now and still,
For Robin is dead, and Alice is wed.
And Louie must bide at the mill;
Father is gray and silent,
And the mothers foot is slow,
And you hear the clock with its faint tick
took,
AS you could not long ago
The little brown house by the road,
From the swift train flashing by,
watch 1t stand in the quiet land,
Under the quiet sky;
From the time of the golden daisies
To the hour of the falling leaves,
From the time of seed to the waving mead.
And the flush of the ripened sheaves.
The little brown house by the road,
When passed it yester cen,
Sudden and sweet it laughed to greet
My eyes with dazzling sheen;
There were lamps in the twinklng windows,
knew as ratified past
That the fire was bright on the hearth alight,
And the children home at last
To the little brown house by the road
Had come Thanksgiving day,
And the wintry air. If they felt it there,
Had the tender warmth Of May.
The fathers tongue was lOOsened.
And the mothers laugh was clear,
For the chrism Of love was poured above
The home N the waning year.
The little brown house by the road
Oh! mother, old and gray,
Honest and true they return to you,
The children who went away;
And Rev, who is of in the army,
And Archie afar on the sea,
Never forget the tasks they were set,
Athome, by the mothers knee.
From little brown homes by the road,
The strength of our land is brought,
Paying their way from day to day,
Simple and pure in thought.
The chord of grand Thanksgiving
From homes like this ascends,
To the glory Of Ore beyond the sun,
Whose kingdom never ends.

land of billiards and complied with
the government requirements in the

went back on William and died and a
land pirate Jumped the claim and told
William to 60 to Hades. He tried to
establish his right to the claim before
an agent of the government but learned
the other day that the decision was
Risken about 500 which is a severe
loss to him.

MY THANKSGIVING.

The clouds hung low the livelong day,
could not see their silver lining,
And out of some deep, ranking pain
My heart was heavy with repining;
The bird within its gilded cage
Brought dreams of happy days departed,
A prisoned plant in every note
Smote memory till the tear-drops started.
My psalm of life was out of tune,
Its minor chords were full of sadness,
Nor could 1 reach the upper height,
The sunlit hills of joy and gladness;
The splendor of long vanished days
Mocked the dead calm of things around me,
The broken chains OF fahhlesS love
Seemed stronger than the ties that bound me
Oh bitter ashes of dead faith,
That sprinkle every after altar,
The echoes of a lost loves wrath
That make its sweet renewals falter.
/ know why all the weary day
My heart could utter 10 Thanksgiving,
And why The anguish of Iife'S f~et
Had made it seem not worth the living.
And yet, dear hands that clasp my own.
Fond eyes that tell me tender stories,
would forget life's bitter draughts
For what you give me of its glories.
Now in the twilight of the day
hear a song of happy measures,
And SO kneel low in the dust
And thank the Oliver of my treasures.
Mrs. D. NJ. Jordan.

The Public will Annreciate il.

INV "cihS VIM CtihtC
The public are indebted to the Royal
Baking Powder Company not more
for having perfected and prepared a
leavening agent that is pure and
wholesome beyond question than for
its exposures, so boldly made, of the
numerous impure, adulterated and in
furious articles that are sold under
the name of baking powders, bread
preparations, etc, throughout the
country. in making these exposures
the company has, of course, made
itself the target for all sorts of counter
attacks, but the animus of these at
tacks has been perfectly understood
by the general public, and by their
very yirulence have served to more
prominently call attention to the good
work of the Royal" Company.
Ordinary authorizations such as are
found in coffee, spices, etc, although
they are swindleS i'll a commercial
sense, are often tolerated because they
do not particularly affect the health of
the consumer. But when an article
like baking powder, that is relied upon
for the healthful preparation of almost
every meal, is so made as to carry
highly injurious if not rankly poison
Gus elements into our daily food, it
is the duty of the public authorities to
take cOgnizance of it.
In this fight for pure food made by
the " Royal Company, it is to be no.
ticed that the most trustworthy scien-
tific authorities are emphatically upon
its side. In all the contests of this
company with the alum and other i'm
pure baking powders the result has
proved that every statement made by
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
both as to the purity of its own and
the adulteration of other baking DOW
ders OF the market, was fully author
lied by the most competent chemical
and medical authorities of the country.
In this contest two facts have been
pretty conclusively settled in the minds
OF the public-the first that the Royal
Company has found the means, and
uses them, to make chemically pure
article of food; and the other that the
market is full of poisonous, alum and
other adulterated baking powders
which, no matter how strongly en-
dorsed by commercial chemists, are
to be studiously avoided.
A pure baking powder is one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per-
feet and wholesome food The recent
controversy in the press has left it no
longer a question with those who de
sire purity and wholesomeness of food
what baking powder they shall use.
