POTENT NEW DRINKS,
oyster Cocktails and Trapped Cafe Royal introduced With Success.

oyster Cocktails and Trapped Cafe Royal introduced With Success. Have you tried an oyster cocktail or Q cafe royal frapped9
 Up in the great white marble palace at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street the two new drinks are all the rage. The young gbarkceper of the Manhattan club, who dispenses drinks over the Mexican onyx bar in the basement of the club house, is re- sponsible for thetw innovations.

 | It is made as follows. The juice of half q lemon is strained into large goblet, to which is added n dash of to- baeco sauce, a teaspoonful of pepper sauce, n trace of vinegar a pinch of salt. suggestion of red pepper and q slightly larger quantity of white pep per. This entire array forms but the seasoning for the liquor of half dozen 1 freshly opened, succulent Blue Point oysters, which Is next added to thecon- tents of the glass, and completes the ! cocktail.
 Tho idea of the newly devised drink is to combine the preliminary cocktail I and the first course of dinner. With this end Ill view half a dozen oysters are submerged in the liquid and allow ed to stand for a brief period, after ! which they are drawn forth singly with an oyster fork and eaten.
 The balance of the liquor that re- mains in the glass serves the purpose
 of washing down the the repast. It is | a hot but very stimulating drink. The

Meat in England.

Our silly protectionists sometimes venture the statement that free trade has worked disastrously in England for the laboring people. While they can point to many occupations in England in which wages are lower than with us, they consistently ignore the steady i'm provement in the condition of tho British workma
 The following fact is but one of hun dreds showing that improvement: The meat imported into Great Britain in 1876 represented 8 ratio of only one pound to every family of five persons The re- cent returns of tho British Board of Trade show that the annual imports, chiefly from America and Australia, now amount to forty pounds of ~desd meat" for every such average family of five persons.

What Jerry simpson Saw in Florida.

Vh&t coAAN oiAhPScA o"" AAA A AOAA~s~s
 In recent speech in New York City, Hon. Jerry Simpson, member of Con- gress, told what he saw in Pensacola, Florida, as an illustration of the way in which our tariff prevents the importation of forein goods needed by our people
 "When 1 was down in Florida last summer" said Mir Simpson, "I spent a day or two at Pensacola. Being sailor, l went along the water front to take . look at the shipping. There were sixty five vessels there of all classes at tho wharves and in tho roadway. Out of the lot, two little schooners flew the Ameri- can flag The rest of the vessels flew the flags of many nations, but the largest and best of them displayed the British union jack at their peaks. I talked with 8 number of the shippers, and asked them what they brought to Pensacola. All tho vessels then in that port had come in ballast They brought us dirt and rocks, some of 1t so foul that it had to be unloaded at quar- antine. and in many cases had to remain there for thirty days Or so before they could he sufficiently purified to be fit to come into Pensacola harbor But they didn't go away in ballast They went loaoed with things produced in this country that were wanted in other coun- tries, and we had got, in exchange, dirt, rocks and filth, Now, there were many things produced in tho countries from which these vessels came that we wanted, and those vessels would rather have loaded with them than with the dirt, rocks and filth, and the people of those countries would have been glad to have exchanged their goods for our goods. But our protective laws stand in the way; we cannot trade, ard we in Kansas know tho reason why, and we intend one of these days to sweep that reason out of existence"

 and courage.
 Atetntion to little things is the econ omy of virtue.
 Nothing grows much faster than troubles that are nursed.
 The right time for man to repent is when he finds out he is wrong.
 The less religion there is in q church the less they want in preacher.
 The fact that a man wants knowledge is proof that hehas some already.
 The terror of being thought poor has been the ruin of thousands.
 Wine and passion arc racks oft used to extort words from us.
 Some use their wits as bravoes their stilettoes, not for defence but mischief.
 Most men know what they hate, few what they love.
 Content hangs not 50 high, but that . man on the ground may reach it.
 He that loses his conscience has nothing that is left worth keeping.
 Liberality consists less in giving much, than in giving wisely.
 Want of employment is the most irksome of all wants.
 Love that does not take of its coat and try to do something is all blar- ney.
 The devil hates theman who makes him take good, square look at him. self.
 Vice is sometimes more courageous than virtue, because 1t has less to lose. They declaim most against the world who have most sinned against it.
 There are no other persons capable of stooping SO low, as they who are over-anxious to rise. Sorrow, in it's exultation, has an instinctive sympathy with the suffer ings of others. Our wealth is always a temptation to others, and often snare to our selves. The devil doesn't want to break up the church. What he wants is to run 1t.
 If the whole truth were known the world would be full otpeople with hanging heads. Coveting what we need not takes from us the true use and fr,iition of what we already have. Men and actions, like objects of sight, have their points of perspective, some must be seen at distance. Who cannot keep his own secret ought not to complain if another tells | it.
 There are moments when the heart wakens from a sleep to feel itself alone l and in the dark.
 He is no mean philosopher who can give reason for one half of what he thinks.
 Many gain favor because their en- mity is not dreaded, and others be- cause it is. Inmoderate pleasures shorten the existence more than any remedies can prolong it. The spirit of poesy is the morning light which makes the statue of Mem non sound. Interest speaks all languages, and acts all parts, even that of disinter- estedness itself, As long as we remain ignorant oi our duty, our intelligence IS in a state ofinactivity.
 Men should allow others excellences to preserve a modest opinion of their | own. |
 Trust him little who praises all; him less who treasures all and him least who Is indifferent about all.
 As we grow older, 1t is with hearts as with heads of hair--it is not easy to distinguish the true from tho false There are many who had rather meet their bittercst enemy in the field than their own hearts in their closet. Iet not modesty take away thy courage in good cause; but let not thy courage incline to impudence ir Q prosperous one. The reason that most people cast their eyes upon the follies of others is that they may not have to perceive their own.

THE protectionists in France have been trying to protect labor" for ten years; but labor in France is meeting with precisely the same experience as labor in America. A French writer points out that Belgian, Swiss, Italian, and even German laborers come into France and compete with French labor at lower wages. The attempt to protect labor by putting duty on commodities fails everywhere; for commodities do not compete with labor. Labor alone com petes with labor.

the liberty of feeling the texture of the

much it had cost, remarked that he
would like to own such one himself.

From the above, chemical science
assures us that wheat is higher in
heterogeneous material. or flesh and mus
Gle matter, than any other grain by 80
per cent. The minerals are contained
more largely in oats and barley, while
corn and rice represent more promi-
nently the oil and fat producing diet
From the above we see that young
chicks should be fed on wheaton bread
for the first few days, and then cracked
wheat, because it is by far the most
nourishing. When the chick breaks
the shell it absorbs the yolk, which is
fat, and it is overfat, SO we do not want
to feed that which produces fat such as
corn and rice. We want food that will
make muscle and strength instead of
fat. Corn meal is the usual feed, but it
is mistake, or corn in any shape, un-
til the chick is more than a week old.
Then our table suggests wheat for the
first week, both bread and fine cracked
wheat, and if kept warm they will
have gained strength so tn at the food
can be changed at that time to furnish
greater variety.
AS oats and barley will make three
times more bone than corn, after one
week old make mixture of crushed
wheat 20 pounds, oats Is pounds, bar
ley 10 pounds dampen this. with milk,
if you have it, If not, cold water just
so that it will hang together; then add
teaspoonful of soda, tablespoonful of
vinegar, little pepper and salt, and to
three quarts Of the above cup of lean
meat and an ounce of Underground
bone. Steam this for two hours and
you have the best possible feed for
chicks and ducks up to three weeks
old. After this age give them head
of cabbage to pick for green stuff;
feed one meal or two meals of soft
food, we'll scalded, each day, and give
whole wheat at other times. Keep
your young fowls growing as fast as
possible until three weeks old; then
give them as wide range as possible
and feed well, but not overfeed. Let
wheat be the principal food. e. W.

ABOUT CUTWORMS.
Starving Out the Most Reliable Remedy
Yet Discovered.

Starving Out the Most Reliable Remedy
Yet Discovered.
The entomologist of the South Dakota
agricultural college has been investi-
eating the habits of the cutworm.
There are many species, but their
habits are all similar The moths,
which are plain brown in color and
about three-fourths of an inch in
length, are abundant from midsummer
until late autumn. There is only one
brood in a year and the worms usually
cease working in June, so though their
life cycle has not been closely observed,
they must be among the earlier moths
to disappear. Though the worms may
be destroyed or driven away by the use
of insecticides, etc. this is practicable
only in small gardens. Where the
fields are infested, preventive measures
must be used. The worms must have
food during the summer, so if the crop
can be harvested early and the ground
left bare they will die of starvation.
Millet has been found TO be good crop
in Dakota for this purpose. Burning
off and spring blowing are also sue
