The first Demorest silver medal contest
ever given in this city was held in the
First NJ. E. church Saturday evening,
under the direction of Mrs. E. D. Carson,
of Wa-Keeney. The contestants were
greeted with a good house, and their
work, as also the singing by the choir
and the children, was thoroughly appreci-
ated and enthusiastically applauded. Too
much cannot be said in praise of Mrs.
Carsons work among the children and
youth In these contests.
The judges, Rev. d. @. Milnar, Rev.
]. A. Swaney, and Elder A. J. Thomson,
while according more than average ex-
cellence to all the other contestants,
quickly agreed that Miss Pearl Wycoff
was entitledto the medal. We learn that
the young lady led by only one or two
points, several speakers closely following
her. However. the best of feeling pre-.
vailed, and the other members of the
class joined the audience in applauding
the decision of the judges.
An unexpected feature Of the evenings
program was the presentation of beauti-
full boauet to Mrs. Carson by the class, as
a testimony of their gratitude to her and
the high esteem in which SIZE is held by

A Great Cyelopedia.

The twenty-second volume of the Co
lumbar Cyclopedia is announced as lust
ready; the entire set is to be completed
the present year, in 80 volumes, aggrepa-
ting about 10000 pages. It's price is re-
markably cheap, only $3.50 for The entire
set, with easy installment terms to those
who want them. The high character of
the work is vouched for by innumerable
witnesses, among others by Prof. James
Strong, S. L. D., Editor of McClintock
Strong's Cyclopedia of Biblical, Eccles-
iastical and Theological Literature; who
speaks of it as follows:
1.-The Columbian Cyclopedia seems to
me to strike happy medium between the
loose, superficial works, and the too elab-
crate and profound ones, which few are
competent or DESTROYS of using. Most of
the larger general cyclopedas are over
loaded with mass of technical science
and official detail that is embarrassing and
useless to ordinary readers. The Column
bian is eminently practical, sufficiently
full, and carefully compiled, well got up.
convenient in form and extent, remarkably
cheap, and, as l should judge, admirably
adapted to families and general consulta-
ton. l think that if properly presented
to the public it will have very wide sale,
and be an exceedingly useful work.
There is ample room in the market for a
Cyclopedia like this, which combines, like.
wise, the advantage of being an excellent

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL Is, 1891.


One of the mistakes of the times is the
popular belief that everything in bust
ness way must be big. The idea has
grown out of our haste TO grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation, such MS,
II one acre pays 500, 100 acres would
payNsio,0O0. Men seldom make such
money out of vary large orchards, Gad
while source of envy to small holders
they are often, in fact, just holding on
or are running ahead on borrowed capt.
tai. The men who make money and are
getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent. of profit,
if they are properly conducted, The
idea that living cannot be made out Of
small place has retarded many from go.

now be making an independent living. -

p. L. Barnum, the great Snowman
who has just died leaving an estate
valued at several millions, had this to
say about advertising:
81 have schemes coming to me
every now and then showing me how
/ can get public notice more cheaply
than | do, and presenting the most
alluring methods for either underpay-
ing the papers which serve me-by a
wholesale deal--or else taking from
them a certain part of their legitimate
advertising by spreading my announce
ments, in part, in some new way.
To all of these schemes | have had
but one answer. | can't afford tc
save money here. must use the
press. And | must use it for all it is
worth. No doubt will save thous.
ands at first by some of the devices
and ways suggested, but this is econ,
omy that does't pay. If l am ever
profoundly thankful for any instru'
mentalities, it is for the editor and his

Windon, Mem.nto.,

The morbid curiosity of some people
was shown in connection with the death
of Secretary Window at the board of
trade dinner at Delmonico's. The menus,
800 of which had been printed for the
occasion, cost the board just $50, The
day following the dinner as much as SEQ
was offered for one, SO great was the de
sire in certain quarters to secure some
souvenir of the sad event, Half an hour
after the assemblage had dispersed every
scrap of paper, leaf and flower had been
carried away,
Manager Tillman, of Delmonico's, told
me that the day following the banquet
he was overrun with applications for
menus.
"We had dozen copies of WINDOWS
speech for the newspapers" said MEM
Der of the board, "that cost us few
pennies to have struck off. We have
received from one man 800 for one OF
the copies. We are now having printed
a memorial of the sad affair for distribu-
ton among the members of the board. "

2,2S6, 532. having an average value of
1873 The number of mich cows is
16,0l9,505, an increase of 66, 70S from last
year, The average value per head is
22i.G2. There is tendency to increase
of dairying in the south, especially in the
mountain region. Other cattle aggregate
36.S75, SAB, including those on ranches.
The highest value is s2S.64, in Connecti-
cut the lowest IS. 49, in Arkansas. The
number of sheep is 43,431, 1876. The aver
age value is $2.5l, an increase of more
than 10 per cent. All other kinds of farm
animals have declined slightly in price.
A tendency to increase of numbers is
seen in most of the states. The aggre'
gate number Of swine is 80, $40, 106, show

average value is 81. Is, a decrease of 81

ROTATING THE TuBER AND CUTTING THE
EYES.
hand holding the stem end downward
and toward the operator, Turn it so as
to bring the lowest eyes toward you,
then with sharp thin knife cut them
out, making curving downward stroke
extending to the center and base of the
tuber Turn tuber slightly to bring
other eyes toward the operator, and re-
peat tac operation. The eyes of po-
tato are arranged more or less regularly
around spirally ascending axis, and by
turning the potato slightly after each
operation they can be cut away in COM
pact pieces SO as to give each one a nearly
equal proportion of the tuber. This, of
course, cannot be done at the seed end,
and when the operator has removed the
eyes as close as practicable to the seed
end a good practice is to cut it down
through the center
This method of rotating the tuber and
utting the eyes away successfully is
shown in the cut. There, however, the
illustration represents the pieces cut tc
one eye; but the system Of emitting works
equally well with the two eyed cuttings

Infant phenomena in the style OF
the Siamese twins have, according to u
telegram received from Cannes, just
made their appearancein village in the
neighborhood of that town. The babies,
who belong to the fairsex, are connected
by hgament which binds them back to
back, but, barring this eccentricity of
nature, they are described as being re-
markably well formed, and apparently
very healthy. Their mother is a French
woman of 25 summers, whose family
had been settled in the village for years.
1t is needless to say that the infants
are being examined with considerable
curiosity by the doctors in that part Of
the country, who are of opinion that the
death of one Of the twins would at once
be attended with fatal results to the
other, SO that their lives may be regarded
as hanging literally on a thread This
was the case with the Siamcse twins,
and with one or two other phenomena OF
the same character.-London Tit-Bits,

When Pluck Was Slang.

This word affords an instance of the
way in which slang words in the course
bf time became adopted into current Eng
lish. We now meet with pluck and
plucky as the recognized equivalents of
courage" and courageous" An entry
in Sir Walter Scott's journal" shows
that in 1927 the word had not yet lost its
low character. lie says (vol, III, p. 30,
"Want of that article blackguardly
called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-
age. Now, when butcher lays open a
carcass he divides the great vessels of the
heart, cuts through the windpipe and
then plucks out together the united
heart and lungs-ights he calls them
and he terms the united mass "the
pluck. Notes and Queries.
