Reed Worn Ont With the Ga,el.

No one looking at the massive frame
II Speaker Reed would imagine that
this exercise of the gayel in maintain
ing order would have any effect on his
muscular organization. But it does,
all the same. \ few DAYS ago in
riding from the Capitol in a street car
with the Speaker, in reply to my ques
tion he said:
"I don't know whether I will 60
nome during the recess. feel too
tired to do anything, and have a strong
craving for rest and quiet and bottle
of arnica. You will be surprised, per-
hsps, TO learn that pound ng on the
desk with the gavel ha- made all the
muscles of my right arm painful. 1t
has given them an exercise to which
they have not been accustomed. But
it is 8 great privilege to pound with
that gavel, and / guess can stand It as
long as the II, use can. Still, IL does
seem ridiculous for me to say that tap
ping on the desk with an instrument
so small and light not only makes me
tired, but sore, ;" and the hurley Speaker
chuckled at what he believed would

How to Take Care OF ChInaware.

To season glass and chinsware TO
sudden changes of temperature, so that
it will remain sound after exposure to
sudden heat and cold, Is best done by
placing the articles In cold water,
which must be gradually brought to
the boiling point and then allowed to
cool very slowly, taking several hours
to do il. The commoner the material
the more care IN this respect Is requir-
ed The very best glass and chinaware
is always well seasoned or annesled be-
fore it is sold. If the wares are prop
erly seaso ned in this way they may
be washed in boiling water without
fear of fracture except in frosty
weather, when even with the best an
nealed wss IS, care must be taken not to
place them suddenly In too hot water.
All china that has any gliding upon
II may on 40 account be rubbed with q
cloth of any kind, but merely rinsed,
first in hot and afterwards in cold
water, and then left to drain till dry.
II the gliding is very dirty and requires
polishing, il may now and then be rub
bed with q soft piece of wash leather
and a little dry whiting, but this opera
ton must not be repeated more than
once q year, otherwise the gold will
most certainly be rubbed of and the
china spoIed.
When the plates, etc, are put away
In the china closet, pieces of paper
should be placed between them TO pre-
vent scratches on the glaze or paint
ing, as the bottom OF all ware has little
particles of sand adhering to it, picked
up from the oven wherein it was glazed.
The china closets should be in Il dry
situation, as a damp closet will soon
tarnish the gliding of the best crock
cry.
In q common dinner service it is a
great evil to make the plates too hot,
as 1t invariably cracks the glaze on the
surface, if not the plate itself We all
know the RESULT comes apart. "No-
ody broke it." sit Was cracked be-
FIRE" or sit was cracked a long time
ago."
The fact is, when the glaze Is in
! red, every time the "things" are
,ashed the water gets to the interior,
yells the porous clay and makes the
fhole fabric rotten. In this condition
ley will also absorb grease, and when
xposed to further heat the grease
,akes the dishes brown and discolored.
Tan old ill-used dish be made very hot
ldeed, fat viii be seen to exude from
he minute assures upon its surface.
he latter remarks apply more particu-
GlY to common warea-SeJected.

NOT AFTyR A DAY JoR.-Past-com-

Army OF the Republic of this State,

about man he sent down to the Gus

healthy brood, entirely free from lice.
Tobacco is valuable insecticide Tor
the poultry house.
The days OF spring chickens will soon
be numbered, but in preparing them
for market let Us suggest that il is not
G good plan to shut them up Just after
they have had free run all of their
lives, under pretense of fattening.
They will always fret and pine and
grow thin. Adult fowls that have
been al various periods of their lives
confined and therefore VERY, fatten
better when deprived of exercise. But
as for half-grown chickens-we are
syeskiLg of most breeds-they will
-sot take on much fat, anyway. while
their frames and feathers are increas-
ing at such rate, and whatever fat
tening may be possible is best secured
by keeping them upon their accus-
toned ground and faeding them every
few hours with all they can be induced
TO eat OF a variety of grains, ground
and unground, raw and cooked

II was sn OLD expression smoDg
farmers that when the summer nights
are warm enough so peop did not
want any bcd-ciu'GCs over them, the
corn would grow. One woman had
so much faith in this rue that one cold
season when the condition of the crops
was in doubt she actually laid and
shivered night after night, thinking
that if she could stand il the corn
would grow. And she was as con-

meadow, and putting the manure all
on few acres about the house. 1t

IL is certainly better than spreading
his labor and fertilizer over too much
land. It has been me SO long on
many farms that under present con-
ditiOns the owners are not able 10 90
back and undo it. This is one reason
why farmers cannot get rich whero
their ance-tors did. IEe soil has been
skinned and exhausted. the pasture i
almost barren, the timber j. sold of,

A Story About Bismarck.

an advance copy of the third volume
Of II. v Sybers History of the Ger
man Empire" has been received. Pro-
badly the most interesting chapters
refer to the relations between Prince
Bismarck and Count Rechberg, the
Prussian and Austrian Ambassadors
respectively at the German (Frankfort)
Diet. Prince Bismarck (then Herr Won
Bismarck Schonhausen) soon found out
that Count Rechberg was hot-tempered
and passionate, but IN the main honor
able and good-natured. Count Rech-
berg, on his side. cordially disliked
Prussia and its astute representative,
but did his best all the same to keep on
amicable terms with his colleagues.
Both officially and socially there was.
however, plenty of friction between
the two. On one occasion things came
to such pitch that Count Rechberg,
entirely losing his self-control, passion
ately exclaimed: "One of my friends
shall wait on you in the morning"
"Why all this unnecessary delay"
Herr Won Bismarck coolly replied. I'm
all probability you have a pair of
pistols handy. Let US settle the matter
Immediately. While you get the things
ready, ! shall write report about the
whole transaction, which, in case l am
tilled, l request you TO forward to
Berlin" Both set about their work.
When Bismarck had finished, he hand
ed the sheet to Count Rechberg, re-
questing him to examine the same.
Rechberg's passion had in the mean
time given way to sober reflection.
After having perused the report he
said: What you say here is quite cor
rect; but IS it really worth while to
tight duel for such reason?" That
Is exactly my opinion" was Bismarck's
answer. and the matter ended.-PaA
