A List Of Flay0rings.

Last week in discussing the
veriety of preparation of food
for the table, aud pointing out
the mistake most cooks make
in using salt and pepper as
seasoning for every thing andat
all times, we advised every
housekeeper to take an inven-
tory of her kitchen closet, and
if it did not contain a dozen or
more different kinds of season.
ing, to make haste to supply
the deficiency. We have been
asked by a lady IN mention
those seasoning. Instead of a
dozen, we will mention too
dozen Or more.
To be used in cooking the
daily bills of fare The store
closet should contain mace,
both powdered and in the loaf;
cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nut
meg, bay leaves, celery seed or
celery salt, parNley, blrnt sugar,
thyme, marjoram, onions, laurel
leaf, garlic and even leeks,
carrots, vinegar, tarragon, curry,
'catsups, tomatoes, mushroom
and the variety of manufactured
sauces, Liebig's extract Of beef,
white wine, sherry, chablis,
madeira, brandy and masachino,
lemon. Chill vinegar, parmesian
cheese and Drowned -four or
fried crontons crushed to 3
powder These are the ordinary
seasonings that should be used
in every family and are used
where good cooking is apprecia-
ted, and yet even such simple
things are unknown quantities
in many house Or are regarded
as unnecessary. The cook gets
into the way Of dropping in a
pinch o. salt and shaking the
pepper box over The dish which
is cooking and sends up every
thing to the table with no
further additions. 1t is a very
easy way Of cooking, and just
as easy a road to fsultfnding,
for such cooking day after day
pals upon the appetite and
everything grows distasteful.
StraightWay go up the cries.
"Nothing tastes good!' "Oh,
dear! l wish you'd get a good
cook" etc.
The whole trouble must be
laid at the door of ignorance;
many know of but few of these
seasonings, and those who do, if
they use them at all, use too
much. Many of them are like
cayenne pepper-hardIy a grain

FIRST DAY.
MORNING SESSION

On Friday morning, in spite
the inc'eEent weather, d goodly
mum Der of our best farmers had
put in their appearance to at
tend the Institute. At1Oo'clOck
Mr.. W. K. Pigford, President Of
tho Agricultural Society, called
the Institute to order. By re-
quest Of President Pigfnrd, Rev.
J.L. Stewart welcomed the Com
missioner and the Professors to
our town in a happy AID appro-
pirate talk Of ten minutes.
The President then announced
that the response by Col. Robin
son would be postponed till the
afternoon session, and that after
the permanent organization by
the election uf officers, the
Institute would adjourn, till the
meeting Of the County Alliance,
(Which was then in session.
should be over, so that all could
attend and be profted by the
Institute work,
The permanent organization
was effected by The election of
j. r. Beaman, Esq, for Presi-
dent, and Marion Butler for Sec
retary. Adjourned till 2 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the Institute was called
to order by President Beaman,
not only was every seat in the
Courthouse occupied, but many
were compelled TO stand. Pres
dent introduced Col. Robinson,
State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, who responded to the ad-
dress of welcome as follows:
The farmer is the object of much
more SOlicitude at this time, than
an other class, Or perhaps ali other
classes combined. And as a couse-
quence there is bestowed upon him
any amount of gratuituous advice.
There never was time when the
forces OF society for the enlighten-
ment Of the farmer class was greater
than at the present day.
The great ard prime object should
be to reach the average farmer, and
create in him a hungering and
thirsting for more knowledge and
for better knowledge. How can
this, best be done?
Tic old way Of reading and study
ing and experimcnting-while it
must not be dispensed with or
ignored, is too slow and too uncer
tain for his great needs and demands
at this juncture. What he needs is
immediate help. de needs the eX-
perience Of those who have succeed
ed wherein he has failed, he needs
the experience of all who have sue
ceeded in their special line Of work.
How better can this be accomplished
than through Farmers Institutes, the
object of'Which is to awaken a deeper
| interest in farming, ard to impart
practical information derived from
experience in the various branche-
| of agriculture.
In no other way can so much
good be accomplished at so small
an outlay as through Farmers 1nsti.
tuteS.
information that has been derived
from practical experience upon the
farm, the dairy, Or the orchard is of
more value than information derived
from any other source to the practi-
cal farmer.
1t is place where may be had all
interchange and exchange of views
and opinions which are of incalcula-
bic value to every intelligent tiller
of the soil. No farmer, fruit grower,
or brooder of fine stock can afford tt
neglect attending farmers Institute

POWER OF SHORT WORDS.

THE author being asked II one could Witt a.
forcibly in monosy1Ables as In words OF length, ai
once wrote the following lines:l
Think not that strength lies In the big, round
word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs be weak
To whom can this be true who once has heard
The cry Of help-the words that all men speak
When want, or woe, or fear is in the throat
So thai each word Is gasped out like a shrek
Pressed from the heart or as a strange, Wild
note,
Sung by some fay or hendi There Is n strength
Which dies IL stretched too far, or spun too fine,
Which has more height than breadth, more
depth than length.
Let but this force OF thought and speech be mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat
phrase,
Which glOws and burns not though it CLEAN and
shines;
Light but not heat, a fash without a blaze.
Nor is 1t naught but strength the short word
boasts;
1t serves far more than wind or storm can tell,
Or roar Of waves that dash on rock bound coasts;
The crash Of tall trees when the wild winds
swell;
The roar of guns the groans OF men that die
On blood stained fields. 1t has a voice as well
For them that far OF on their sick beds lie;
For them that weep, for them that mourn the
For them that dance. and laugh, and clap the
hand
To joys quick step, as well as Grief's sac
tread;
The sweet plain words we learn at first keep
time,
And though the theme be sad, or gay, or grand,
With each, with all, these may be made to chime,
In thought, or speech, or song. or prose, or
DIR. Addison Alexander,

No class of men is SO fond Of old shoes
as printers. 1t isn't hat they wear old
shoes, for they don't, except when stand
ing at their case. Then they either in
case their feet in shoes of the most dis
reputable character or have one or more
pairs of shoes that a ragman would sniff
at tuck under their frames in such a
position as to attract instantly the atten-
ton of all who enter a composing room
and who are not of it.
Everything about the new composing
room of The Times is in the most admi-
rable condition, except the shoes. The
same old shoes that disigured the old
frames in the old composing room orna-
ment the new composing room. When
the printers marched upstairs, cases in
hand, they marched down again and re-
turned, shoes in hand. They liked the
new room, with its white walls, its lofty
ceiling, its abundance of light and air.
There was absolutely nothing in COM
mon between it and old shoes, yet the
printers took great care that not a single
old shoe should be deserted, and the new
composing room of The Times contains
Just as many old shoes as did the old
composing room in its palmiest days.
The printer likes comfort during the
hours of toll. Old shoes mean comfort
to him in the fullest sense.-Printers'

German Discipline in Penal Institutions.
The lash has never been abolished as a
means of discipline in penal institutions
of Germany. Generally they use a
thong twenty inches long, fastened to a
handle a yard long. The lash is thick
est at the end. The thickness varies ac-
cording to the provinces. But the small
est lashes are two inches thick. Only in
Saxony are the dimensions fixed by law,
the handle there being thirty-nine inches
long and the lash thirty-six inches.
The maximum number of blows is left
to the Judgment of the prison directors,
but it must not exceed twenty-five in
Mecklenburg and Oldenburg, thirty in
Saxony and sixty in Prussia.
The German penitentiary regime pro-
vides still another means of repression,
namely, confinement in cells, the walls
and floors of which are covered with
sharp points. In these they put prison
ers dressed in wooden, with nothing but
socks on their feet. The cell contains
no chair, bench or bed, and after a GER
tain time the prisoner can neither stand
up nor lie down. His body and feet
bleed everywhere, and for a month after
he is let out he cannot walk. Such con-
finement was resorted to in Prussia fifty
six times during 1888, and of the suffer-
ers fifteen were III
