Athletic Club in Oakland last evening, and
the CLUB provided a most successful and at
traetive entertainment for the friends of the

given TO the spectators. every chair was
occupied and deep ring Of the members
looked ON from behind.
The Reliance Club has received a fresh
lease of life. and now has a very bright
future before it. List year it seemed in
some danger of breaking up. but new
Board Of Directors has infused fresh spirit.
More than $50 new members have Joined
this year, and the number Of exerci sing
members. which had fallen off to very few,
has steadily increased. The club intends to
move into larger quarters before Christmas.

A Dog Philosopher.

Not long since / had an excellent op-
portunity of observing one of the rovers.
am not learned in canine varieties,
but should suppose he was some kind
of mongrel terrier. Anyhow, he was
an odd little creature, with body de-
cidedly long in proportion to the legs,
with a gray and brownish coat, which
was so thin as to give him NANCY
look, and, lastly, with a moist, senti-
mental eye If dogs had their religious
sects one would set him down as a
Methodist. He belonged. with two
other dogs, to a friend of mine, who
used to bring them to my house when
picking me up in his morning walk.
The odd little creature contrasted
strongly with another of the trio, who
was about his own size, in the sedate-
ness of his manner and his philosophic
Indifference to small canine worries.
Thus it was not uncommon to see
his companion mentally upset by the
sight of a butchers cart proceeding, as
he no doubt thought, at an indecorous-
ly wild pace. Or his usual serenity
would now and again be rudely broken
by the appearance of a cat, or even that
apparently harmless creature, the cats
victim, the sparrow, which he would
pursue in a frenzy of rage, leaping in
impotent wrath underneath the tree to
which the nimble little creature would
naturally betake itself for shelter
None of these things moved our ca
nine philosopher. He paid not the
slightest heed to his companions vio-
lent rushings and barl1ings. As became
thinker, his voice was rarely heard.
L have seen him set upon by his more
mercurial companion in fit of OBJ
streperous jocosity, yet with admirable
self restraint he would suffer himself
to be barked at, knocked against, and
even scrambled over, without uttering
the slightest protest. 1t occurred to me
that, like recent British logician, he
found the racket of the street favorable
to philosophical abstraction.-Cor

Oil Makes Shoes Warm.

When the leather in your shoes be
comes old and begrimed with blacking
you will ascertain that the feet will be
cold Then it is time TO cast aside the
shoes and use them to wear beneath
arctics or for some other purpose. II
you want to keep your shoes in good
condition you should use vaseline on
them often. The life will be kept in
the leather, and if rightly applied you
can shine the footwear just as well as
if the preparation had never been used.
Put it on at night when taking off the
shoes. There are castor and like oils,
also, that will as well serve the purpose
and keep your shoes and boots in good
shape, imparting much greater warmth
to the feet.-New York Journal

Renewing Seed.

There is no question about the wisdom
of renewing seed, and especially small
grains, from distance. Grain that hai
been repeatedly sown in the same vicin
ity will ''run out'-that is, have a grad
ually weaker vitality, and to resist thes,
adverse conditions we must renew thC
life of the seed. Renewals from the
same county or the same parallel of lati-
tude are not sufficient, but the new seed
should be brought from locality that
has essentially different climatic condi-
tions. The general principle, according
to Field and Farm, is that we should
work from the north toward the south
in these renewals, but this rule, of
course, has its limitations from natural
causes. With wheat and oats the same
seed should not be used for more than
three successive seasons.

A Remarkable Accident.

A curious accident happened in the
autumn of 1889 during a trial of a
second class torpedo boat belonging to
the Danish government. The boat was
running at full speed in a moderate
sea, with the usual number of men on
board, when without warning she
rolled over and sank Both engineer
and fireman were closed in their COM
partment. The engineer, Angelo Ben
son, was standing just forward of his
engine, and as he felt the listing of the
boat he grasped the handle of the
hatch, meaning to open it; but the
boat went over, and just as he was
about to escape the oil tank was
emptied on his head, nearly suffocating
him.
Upon recovering Benson found that
the rush of water was too great to
allow his escape. SO he coolly waited
until the interior of the boat was filed,
and then pulled himself through the
hatchway and struck out for the sur
face, where he found several of the
crew swimming about and waiting to
be relieved. The accident was due to
some error in the distribution of
weights. The boat was raised, rear
ranged and is now doing good service.

A Cooking School in Earnest.
Ehe Curriculum Includes Marketing,
Scrubbing and Eating what Is Cooked

| The Curriculum Includes Marketing,
Scrubbing and Eating What Is Cooked
| A cooking school that is a cooking
school has just been opened in Gothen-
| burg, Sweden. 1t is an annex of the
girls part of the public school system
there, and every young woman who is
graduated must learn all that the prac-
tical cooks in the annex can teach.
The cooking course is q part of the Sc
nior year curriculum and includes
twenty-four lessons. Twelve of these
lessons are theoretical. The rest are
practical. Ten of the practical lessons
Of two hours each are devoted to in
StructiOn in the most popular meats
and vegetables. The girls are obliged
to peel potatoes, skin onions, pluck and
stuff chickens, spit roasts and the like.
They put on the kettles, feed and regu-
late the fires, wash the dishes and clean
up generally after all is done. Three
lessons of two hours each concern ex-
clusively the preparation of bouillon,
toast and rice water, barley soup and
other similar dishes for i'll persons.
The young women are instructed in
classes of five, and each group prepares
successfully every dish in the course.
The cooking is done mornings, the
cooked dishes are served for the din
ners of the pupils and teachers, and
every girl is obliged to eat what she has
had hand in preparing, or go with
out. During the afternoon each stu
dent writes a description of how and
what she cooked, and appends sugges-
tions as to epicurean improvements
that have occurred to her mind since
she finished the dish. These reports
are read and corrected by the instruct
ors, and at the end of the course the
girl who cooked best and suggested the
most palatable innovations in the proc
ess will get gold medal
The course is unique in two particu-
lars. All the girls must go to market
with the instructors very early and buy
all the stuff to be used in the kitchen.
Every Saturday is given over to house
cleaning. All the girls must then get
into their old gowns and gloves, twist
up their hair in tight little knots with
out friz in front or a fringe behind,
and knuckle down to securing the
floor, washing the windows, polishing
the brass and cleaning the walls.
The Gothenburg experiment is new.
If it proves successful other cooking
anneXes to public schools will be opened
in other Swedish cities-New York

CaliGraphist.

'Through persistent push," says a
late writer, almost anything can be
accomplished, " and the earnestness of
Peter Bales, born in 1547, is a fine ex-
ample. 1t is recorded of this man that
he was one of the first to present a sys-
TEN of shorthand writing, and very GER
tain it is that unusual skill was attained
by him in his special line of work. In
1875 he accomplished a wonderful feat
of handicraft, arranging within the cir
Gle of a single penny the Lords Prayer,
the Greed, Decalogue and two brief
prayers in Latin; also his own name, a
motto, the day of the month, year of
the Lord and reign of the queen, to
whom he presented it at Hampton
court
This remarkable facility of pen work
received a quaint setting. 1t was en-
chased in o ring with borders of gold,
and was protected by q crystal. So ac-
curately traced was every word as to
be plainly legible. No marvel that it
was greatly priced by her majesty Queen
Bess, so eminently fond was she of rare
and curious additions to her stock of
treasures, and of this offering to her
royal highness by cher humble subject
we are assured that she expressed de-
cided pleasure. .-Harper's Bazar.

THE CARNIVAL AT NICE.

How the Procession of DIaskers Appeared
to an American Visitor.
Of course the procession of maskers
was more Imposing on the afternoons of
contest for valuable prizes and when no
confetti were allowed. Here comes a
gorgeously attired prince and elegant
courtiers, splendidly mounted and fol-
lowed by a large company of retainers.
Now we have love sick swain with a
guitar, addressing the new moon on
wheels in front of him. Then a dozen
artichokes opening and closing their
petals. We must admire this lovely
maiden, covered with daisies, and capa-
BILE of the character without a single
flower but we need waste no time on
that horrid man who thinks he fairly
personates a proper old maid and ought
to chaperon the young lady. Dudes in
silks and satins, and carrying mirrors,
brushes and feather busters, preserve
the eXclusiveness of their own company.
Very funny is this figure with two
heads, two bodies, three legs and
crutch, representing an English admi-
raj and companion. Next we have
a bottle of French wine and bottle of
German beer, with legs, arms and weap-
ons, and fighting incessantly. Peace
might be meant by the enormous Ger
man giant who follows, smoking a great
pipe, but for his jamming boys and
girls into the bowl instead of using to-
bacco. Here comes a full kindergar-
ten, teacher, pupils, house and all.
And now lot of the most waxy, wood
emmy and sawdusty of dolls, giant in
race, keeping time with all their limbs,
and walking as only dolls can walk,
with most laughter provoking stiffness.
Let us look at this sausage factory.
A litter of pigs run about on the lower
floor and are ready to be seized by the
twenty foot workman. He thrusts
them, alive, into a hopper on top of
the building, and then grinds his mill
until hams and strings of sausages
come out from the bottom, and, as if
this idea were not sufficiently new or
carnivalesque, he shows that the prod
uct can be put through second mill
and come out in the shape of lively
pigs again. An Overproud hen comes
along with an immense brood of boy
size, fluffy, yellow chickens. And here
is a whole circus of acrobatic vivid
green frogs being put through their
performances by q clown who tops the
houses. The BELLS of Corneville"
chime in with the bands of music and
dance merrily.
A society initiates novice by throw
ing him high in the air from blanket.
A cavalcade or knights errant attracts
much attention, and SO do individuals
in the character of tailor, shoemaker,
ratcatcher, railway agent, patient with
toothache and corns, or many another,
either commonly known or appreciated
solely by the people of Nice. Endless
in variety and just long enough in du-
ration, the most satisfactory thing
about the pageant is the holiday max
ing spirit plainly evident in both mask
ers and guests-a happy spirit, unfor-
tunately too distinctly un-American.-

You often meet with men who give
you the idea that they would die rather
than eat something to which they are
unaccustomed. How foolish and mar
row minded this seems! Who can tell
to what straits of destitution one may
some day be reduced? To be sure, our
civilization is 50 very mighty in these
days that we can, with fair pre.ump-
ton of success, challenge Dame Nature
herself to bring us within trembling
distance of famine Still, it is as well
to be prepared. Have you ever tried
a salad of buttercups-blosso and
roots-or u dish of speckled snails; or
tender kitten, killed in the first month; !;
or a horsenesh steak? Save the last,
these 'plats" are very inexpensive, and
not at all an insult to the stomach.
None of them are nauseating, and they
might well serve as n preliminary to q
much enlarged list of edibles to which
the man who is not too particular
might habituate himself. ALI the Year

TO THE
FARMERS Of VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 90,
10 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you
only penny for a postal card
on which to send me your ad-
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method of taking off,and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and SO request.
In most ofthe towns of Yer
mont | have buyers but in
localities where I have none |
would suggest that a half doz-
en- farmers club together and
ship their skins in quantities of
25 or more in which case |
will pay all freights after de-
livery at X. r. depot. | cannot
allow you wholesale prices in
towns whereI havea a buyer but
where | have none | will
gladly arrange with any reli-
able farmer who is willing to
attend to the matter of collect
ing skins taken off in his
vicinity, and in such case will
of course allow the buyers
