mercial club rooms in this city. There are
number of jobbing houses In Weatherford
and they are all doing a nice business.
Weatherford has four outlets by ran, the
Texas and Pacific, the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa F'e, and the Weatherford, Mineral
Wells and Northwestern, She has three
roller mills and castor oil mill, and a mag.
nifcent opening for cotton seed oil mill.
SOCIETY AND EDUCATION.
Weatherford is q city of schools and
churches. Her educational institutions are
up with the times and would be a credit to
any city. The students in one of her insti-
tutions publish very creditable little
monthly paper. How we know this, q copy
Of the paper fell into our hands at the no.
tel, but we did not have time to trace up
its origin. 1t recalled our long-ago school
days when we considered it a bigger thing
to be editor Of the college paper than to be
Justice of the peace in 'Possum Holler.
Weatherford also sports three live, wide
awake papers, the Republic, Parker County
News, and Enquirer. J-W. Putnam, man
aging editor of the Republic, is heavy
weight and well known to the fraternity.
There is very strong and influential or
ganization here known as the Commercial
Union club, composed of the best citizens
of Weatherford. The object of this club is
the upbuilding OF the city. 1t has accom-
plished great deal and will do much more.
The list of its membership is constantly
growing. One of the prominent members
remarked to US last evening: 'sIt's for
whites only. but not according to the accep-
tation of othe term as used by the railroad
commission. There are also five secret or
ders here, all in fiourishing condition, to-
wit: Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, knights Of Honor, Knights and
Ladies of Honor, Ancient Order of United
Workmen.
Mr.. Campbell, postmaster here and post
Office inspector for Parker county, informed
US there were twenty-six Offices in the
county The principal ones outside OF
Weatherford are Springtown, Whit, Pool
vile and Peaster, which pay on an average
of s45 to $50 per quarter. There are large
settlements at all these points. This gives
some idea of the trade Parker county alone
gives Weatherford. f

NEW ENGLAND.

A VERY attractive Table of Contents
is presented by the NEW ENGLAND MAG
AZINE for June. The wisdom of the
editors and publishers is shown bv the
manner in which they are broadening
the scope of the magazine from month
to month, while retaining their hold on
the special constituency TO which TIE
magazine specially appealed in its be-
ginnings. The editors are alive to the
fact that to keep pace with the march
OF periodical literature nowadays, a
magazine must be artistically gotten up
and lavishly illustrated and with each
number there is an improvement both
in the quantity and quality of the illus
trationS of the New ENGLAND MAGA-
ZINE. The initial article in the current
number is Wagner and Tannhauser
in Paris, 1861" by Edward III. House,
one of the new stylists of contemporary
literature. His article will delight all
Germans, and all lovers of Wagner's
music. 1t is illustrated with two beau
tlful full-page portraits of Wagner.
which are entirely unknown in America
and are now published for the first
time. Mrs. Elizabeth Akers Allen

VILE" poem by Franklin Stanton is
very appropriate at this time of year,
and has Tilt and ring about it. which
makes it stick in the memory. far more
than most magazine poetry of the
nebulous metaphysical order usually
does. Mr.. Edwin d. Mead writes
brightly and forcibly on the Message
of Puritanism for this time. . Mr.. Mead
takes very rational view of the habit
of looking backward, and says that our
reverence for the Puritan fathers, inter
preted through their lives, should only
make us live more vitality in the pres
ent, and not escape from its burdens
into an atmosphere of antiquarianism
and inactivity.

The opening poem in the June ST.
NICHOLAS IS by Mr.. G. p. Cranch. whose
Last of the Huggermuggers will be
recalled by the fathers and mothers of
the present generation of tie magazine S

OF their childhood. The present poem

been appreciatively illustrated BY r. b.

children IN the streets, and makes a
strong appeal for space, light, and air

Hill. and are strong in expression and
realism.
Sophie SWEET shows how uncomfor-
table is the lot Of the sister who is
'Being Responsible for Toffy," but the
cheerful ending of the story will repay

presents for consideration some inter-
esting facts regarding the efficiency and
economy of the system of local govern
ment represented by the New England
town meeting, and compares it with the
more centralized but less democratic
methods adopted in other sections of
the country. Walter Besant contributes
the first of an important series of pap
ers on London the life of its people,
and the features which characterized its
existence during the various periods of
its history. In ''London-After the

count of the last days of the Roman

AMONG The POULTRY.


Fowls win eat large quantity of
clover.
TOBACCO stems are good to scatter
about the nests.
HENS wiz eat the parings of any kind
of vegetables if cooked
CoPPERAs is good medicine to keep
on hand for the poultry.
BE careful to avoid draughts, espe-
cially on the sitting hens.
WHEN it is possible the nests should
be placed in separate place from the
roosts.
From one bushel of corn hen will
produce ten dozen eggs, worth at least
one dollar.
BURYINe the grain is good plan to
get the fowls to scratch when they are
confined.
HENS will keep in better health if
they are compelled to scratch for part
of living
CoPPERAs dissolucd in water is
good as well as cheap tonic for poul-
try of all kinds.
FEEDING the ducks too much corn
ana getting them TOO ldt Will keep
them from laying.
ONE advantage in keeping a good
breed of fowls is that generally they
will receive better care.
YOU'VE ducks should be kept grow
ing from the start and sent to market
as soon as they are ready.
GEESE feathers bring the best prices
in market; duck feathers sell next high
est and turkey feathers next.

A BILL prohibiting the catching OF
Seals in Behring Sea by British subjects
for a given period has been introduced
in the English parliament. II this will
only become law and our own govern
ment provide a similar restriction in
regard to Americans, there may be
some chance OF preserving this yalu-
able fishing ground until England IS
forced to recognize our rights in the
matter. To be sure it seems funny that
Britlans should pass a law forbidding
what they never had right to do, but
it shows disposition to prevent any
further complications through poacbing
in those waters.

NOTES.

ONE of the most prominent attract
ions in the present number of HARPER's
BAzAE Is a clever farce, entitled "A
Glass Day Sketch" by Mildred Howells
the daughter of w. ID. Howells. Fran
els M. Livingston contributes a pleasant
story, "A Virgin of Utrera.' Howard

esting sketch of Laurence Oliphant is

ANOTHER effort is to be made TO Sc
cure the pardon of Hartley Clifford serv-
ing a life sentence for the murder OF
Capt. Pugh, OF Racine. Periodical applica.
tions were made to Governors Rusk and
Hoard, and now Gov Peck is to be tried
with renewed hope as Peck signed a pc
tition sent to Hoard. What effect this
may have on his action now as govern
or remains to be seen. ClitfOrd's crime
was particularly aIocious. lie had been
to a walking match with Pugh, they
made a bet and Clifford lost and refused
to pay. and later while disputing over
the affair shot Pugh to death. Capt.
Pugh was one of the popular men of
Racine and to that cities honor be if
said. she strenuously opposes any COM
mutation of Clitford's sentence. 1t is
Just this eternal pickering for clemency
that makes Imprisonment for capital
crime a wearisome burden and men
ace to society. A man who will DELHI
erately kill fellow mortal should by all
the laws of justice suffer the severest
penalty-death. No other punishment
places the criminal beyond doing
possible harm.
The statement that the number of
vacant lieutenancies in the army is
much greater than the number of mem
bers OF the next graduating class at
West Point, and that many appoint
ments will be made from civil life, sets
one to thinking. Why would it not be
better lnstce and better policy, says the
Detroit Free Press, to promote deserv-
ing non-commissioned officers TO these
places2 The suggestion would be met
with disfaYor by the present commits
stoned officers of the service, who are
jealous Of anything that threatens the
line Of distinction between the elect and
the non-elect. but the army is not main
tanned for the pleasure of its officers,
and the government could even afford to
demolish an old.time prejudice if by so
doing the service might be improved.
To the civilian ii seems certain that the
intelligent commissioned officer
would make a far better lieutenant than
would any person with no experience
of the profession of arms, and that the
spirit of the men would be improved
and the class of recruits bettered If it
were known that faithful and painstak-
ing service might mean advancement
to the honor of shoulder straps.

We are not so enamored of the knife
as to favor its use in preference to the
fork as a means of conveying ones food
to ones mouth. On the contrary, we
are as much opposed to this use of the
knife as any one possibly could be. But
we hold, nevertheless, that the knife
should not be utterly ignored at the ta-
BILE.
Where, for instance, the pie crust set
before you is excessively infexible there
is a sort of constructive insult to your
hostess in your vain attempts to cut
through it with fork. Its toughness is
made obvious by your exertions, and in
endeavoring to cut the pie crust you
only succeed in cutting into the sensibil-
tiles of your hostess. BY using your
knife, on the contrary, your pie crust is
divided into eatable portions with neat
ness and dispatch, and its firmness of
texture is remarked by no one.
We are sure that no genuine pie lover
will deny that in cutting ones pie with
ones knife and carrying it piece by piece
to the mouth by aid of the fork, ample
recognition is accorded to the demands
of etiquette; for, to thoroughly enjoy
ones pie, neither knife nor fork is neces-
sary. AS a matter of fact, either is an
impertinence. The true and only salts
flying way to eat pie is to take it up in
ones hand, and by gently but firmly
pressing the pointed end of the wedge in
ones mouth to slough off its benefcence
with grateful teeth until it's richness is
all your own. This is the way to enjoy
pie. But we are not talking of enjoy
ment.
Our business is with etiquette. There
fore we will relegate the true form of
pie eating to the privacy of the cupboard,
where the hasty snack is taken. All we
insist upon in the name of true etiquette
is that the knife should do its share of
the labor, and that the fork should not
be compelled unassisted to bear the heat
and burden of dissection. Boston Tran
script.
