A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
resale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curicus incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise

knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for a law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception. for what bet

time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-

Samuel Dickie, in answering the ar
gument that the drink traffic is product
i've of wealth, says: "The man who
goes tonight and breaks into bank
and carries away 100000, if he escapes
the officers of the law, may be wealthy
for the balance of his day, but the
burglar is not engaged in a wealth-pro-
ducing business. The gambler may &C
cumulate money, but the gambler pro-
duces no wealth. The successful pick
pocket may acquire vast possessions,
but neither the burglar, gambler, nor
the pickpocket is engaged in wealth
producing industry. In every one of
these cases that | have referred to by
way of illustration the party takes the
money from his victim and gives no
valuable thing as consideration. Now
| submit it to the intelligent judgment
of this great people, may not intro
duce fourth term into the proposition
and declare that the burglar, the
gambler, the pickpocket aud the sa-
loon keeper all take the money from
their victims and give no valuable
thing in return?"

The Burden of Big Houses.

An ideal of earthly comfort, so com.
mon that every reader must have seen
1t, is to get IA house so big that it is
burdensOme to maintain it, and fill it
up so full of jimcracks that it is con-
slant occupation to keep it in order.
Then, when the expense of living in
1t Is SO great that you can't afford to 90
away and rest from the burden of it
the situation is complete, and boarding.
houses and cemeteries begin to yawn
for you. How many Americans, do
you suppose, out of the droves that
flock annually to Europe, are running
away from oppressive houses? When
nature undertakes to provide house,
it fils the occupant. Animals who
build by instinct build only what they
need, but mans building instinct. if
it gets chance to spread itself at all
is boundless, just as all BIS instincts
are. For it Is mans popularity that
nature has filed him with impulses to
do things, and left it to his discretion
when to stop. She never tells him
when he has finished. And perhaps we
ought not to be surprised that in so
many cases it happens that he doesn I
know, but just goes ahead as long as
the materials last. If another man
tries to Cypress him, he understands
that and is ready to fight to death and
sacrifice all he has, rather than submit
but the tyranny of things is so subtle
so gradual in its approach and comes
so marked with seeming benefits, that
it has him heiplessly bound before be

Old People and the Changes of
Temperature.

1t is said of the Duke of Wellington
that at four score it required him TO
keep his room so warm, in order to rem
der him comfortable, that few persons
could remain in it with any degree of
satisfaction longer than very few mo-
ments at time, and that be always
put his head out of the window on ris-
ing in the morning to determine by
his feelings the temperature of the air,
and then would order coat to be
brought to him adapted to the tempera-
ture. 1t was by such carefulness that
he was able to reach a good old age.
No one after three score" can afford
to neglect these little precautions. 1t
can not be done with impunity. 1t is
for the want of it that so many per-
sons after that age, in apparent health
are hurried to the grave in few days
from pneumonia, known commonly as
Inflammation of the lungs. A differ
ence of twenty degrees or more, es-
pecially if there is much wind, impera-
lively demands warmer dress for the

Ounces.

katherine b. johnson in the american
AgrtcultWist gives some good recipes
for preserving ounces:
BAKED OUNCES. Re iect all knotty
or stunted ones Rub off the down and
remove the blossom ends. Place close
together in an earthen or agate dish
cover the bottom half an inch deep
with cold water, and bake until they
can be easily pierced with a steel fork.
Serve warm in saucer at each plate.
II mashed with a knife or spoon, the
core is easily removed. Then put on a
little butter and liberal allowance of
powdered sugar
OUNCE JELLY.-No variety of Jelly
has more delicate or delicious flavor
than has ounce, when properly made.
Rub of the down and remove the bios
som ends. Cut them in small pieces
rejecting the seeds, but allowing the
core to remain. Add water, but not
enough to cover, and boil slowly for an
hour and a half. Strain through a
linen jelly bag, and allow one pound of
graduated sugar to each pint of juice.
Boil the juice and skim carefully; then
add the sugar, which has been heated
in the oven, and boil together twenty
or twenty-five minutes.
OUNCE AND APPLE PRESERVES. -
Take equal quantities of firm, sweet
apples and ounces. Pare, quar- ter and
core. Boil the cores and parings of the
ounces as above. When the ounces
have been cooked in this liquid until
they are tender, skim them out and
cook the apples in the same liquid.
Make syrup of the previously weighed
sugar, pound for each pound of frnt
Cook the ounces in the syrup first,
and afterward the apples until they

How to Drink MILK.

Some complain that they can not
drink milk without being " distressed
by it," The most common reason why
milk is not well borne is due to the fact
that people drink it too quickly. If a
glass of it is swallowed hastily, it enters
into the stomach aud then forms in
one solid, curdled mass, difficult of
digestion. If, on the other hand, the
same quantity is slipped, and three min
utes at least are occupied in drinking
it, then on reaching the stomach it
is so divided that when coagulated, as
it must be by the gastric juice, while
digestion is going on, instead of being
in one hard, condensed mass upon the
outside of which only the digestive
fluids can act, it is more in the form of
a sponge, and in and out of the entire
bulk the gastric juice can play freely
and perform its functions.-American

What She Did.
Gazette.

Christiana Dickson, the wife of one
of the settlers of Erie county, Pennsyl-
vania, was a small, blue-eyed, low
voiced woman, extremely timid, but
she had a horror of drunkenness.
What this caused her to do is thus re-
lated by an authentic writer She
lived in days when the use of liquor
was universal. But when her sons were
born she resolved to put stop to
whiskey-drinking in her home Her
husband being absent, her brothers
called for the help of the neighbors, ac-
cording to custom, to put up barn
needed on her farm. They all assem-
bled and went TO work, while she pre-
pared great dinner. After an hour
or two whiskey was asked for. She
refused to provide it. Her brothers,
and at last an elder in the church, came
to reason with her, to tell her that she
would be accused of meanness. With
out a word the little woman went
to the barn, and, barring her head
stepped upon a log and spoke to them :
"My neighbors," said she, this is IA
strange Thing. Three of you are my
brothers, three of you are elders in
tue CuufCu-all Oh you are my lrleuuS.
| have prepared for you the best dinner
in my power. If you refuse to raise
the barn without liquor, so be it,.
But l would rather these timbers shall
rot where they lie than to give you
whiskey." The men angrily went
home, the little woman returned to
the house, and for hours cried as
though her heart would break. But
the next day every man came back,
went heartily to work, enjoyed her good
dinner, and said not a word about whis,
key. This led to dscontinuance of
the use of whiskey at barn-raisings in
the county. Her sons grew mp strong,
vigorous men and did good work in
helping to civilize and Christianize the
world; their descendants are all of IA
high type of intellectual and moral
men aud women. If she had yielded
this little point, they might have be-
come, like many of their neighbors,
drunkards, Our stout-hearted pioneer
forefathers redeemed the land and
drove out the wild beasts and SER
penis, but there are vices and malir-
nant customs still to be conquered, for
which we need women of high sovls
and gentle spirits, like Chistiana Dick
son.

The Tobacco Habit.

The increase in the amount of tobacco
consumed in the country furnishes
abundant evidence of the steady growth
of the tobacco habit. According TO the
report of the commissioner of internal
revenue, there were consumed during
the past fiscal year, in excess of the
amounts taxed the preceding year, II, =
535 636 pounds of manufactured to-
bacco; G26, 631 pounds of snuff; o.
Cos 900 cigars, and 2SS, 7S9, 260 cigar
cites. There was a slight increase in
the amount of manufactured tobacco
and cigars exported, and an increase of
60 900 $50 in the number of cigarettes
sent abroad, There are 500 .013 dealers
in manufactured tobacco on the tax
lists, and $50, 1874 make up the total
number of special Taxpayers. The
revenue collected from tobacco in its
various forms exceeds $50, 900, 600 an
nually, and the total aggregate spent
for it is something startling. The tax
singularly enough, seems to have very
little effect in discouraging the use of
the weed. When times are good and
the working classes steadily employed,
the tax is no hindrance to liberal in
diligence, and when there is period
of depression in business, men feel all
the more iuclined to seek consolation
in the quid and the pipe. The increase
in the number of cigarettes used, not
withstanding the warnings of the med
ical fraternity and the legislation
against selling to minors, indicates a
growth of the tobacco habit among
boys and young men which is anything
but gratifying.-Pittsburg Commercial
