THE SAILOR AT THE BALL.

They gave ball up town last night; / had a
girl in ow
And she was rugged right up in style, I'll have
you all to know;
She had a brand new suit of sails, from SOUP
per up to tuck.
And held her right eye in the wind, as dainty
as duck.
Her dress was bent on to her arms with bands
in some queer way,
And then twas cut down fore and aft, which
means decolytay.
They must have got the thing too long-you
never saw such gear
1t had a dozen reefs in 'front.' and yetit wasn't
clear;
She had it guyed up in the ways-it hung off
in her wake,
And rose and fell just like swell, without a
sign or break.
She had a fan made fast around her dainty
little waist;
Twas made of figured satin, and in all re-
spects was chaste;
But when l swung that girl around, the gear,
| could see,
Was not clewed up shipshape, as such stuff
like that should be,
And if I'd been less careful with that silk and
satin dress
Her halliards might have parted, and there'd
been a pretty mess.

The MapIe Sugar Bounty.

The internal revenuef folks at Wash
ington are anxious to have il under
stood that if men who boil sap in the
spring want any bounty on their
product next season they must get
licenses before July /. There is no
charge for the license, but it must be
taken out.
Here is the section of the law under
which the bounty will be paid:-
On or after July 1, 1891, and until
July 1, 1905, there shall be paid from
any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated, under the
provisions of section 1860 of the re-
vised statutes, to the producer of
sugar testing not less than 90 de-
grees by the polariscope, from beets,
sorghum or sugar-cane grown within
the United States, or from maple sap
produced within the United States, N
bounty of 2 cents per pound, and up.
on such sugar testing less than 90
degrees by the polariscope, and not
less than so degrees, a bounty of Ia
cents per pound, under such rules
and regulations as the commissioner
of internal revenue, with the approx
al of the secretary of the treasury
shall prescribe.

Since the passage of the Mckinley
bill there has been a steady pressure
on the Canadian government to re-
move the duty on raw sugar. The
government has finally concluded TO
allow a rebate on refined sugar man

Canadian refiners on the same level
with those of the United States.

Protection VS.. Free Trade.

In the old days of the republic
the line was sharply drawn between
the whig and democratic parties. 1t
was on the question of a protective
tariff that Mr.. Calhoun and his
friends proposed to secede from the
Union. Prior to the war of 1861, it
was next to slavery, the strongest
issue ever made in American politics.
Three years prior to the war the free
traders succeeded in getting the tariff
reduced to a minimum. The effect
was that within eighteen months the
warehouses of the United States were
absolutely bursting with foreign
goods; the manufactures of the
United States were idle; skilled work
men roamed the streets unable to
obtain employment and to feed their
families, and a very great proportion
of the gold that up to that time had
been dug from the mines ofCalitornia
had been shipped away to Europe to
pay for foreign goods.-Salt Lake

Ginger Beer.

This is the favorite drink in all
parts of the country for use in har-
vest time, and is probably the very
best for such use. 1t is agreeable
to the taste, cooling, very slightly
stimulating, and entirely free from
any harmful effects. 1t is best when
made some four or five weeks before
it is to be used, though it can be
made so as to be ready for drink
ing in three days. We give the two
methods for making it thus: First
method: Add to fourteen gallons of
water, fourteen pounds of loaf sugar
and four ounces of root ginger well
pounded; than boil all one hour; add
the whites of eight eggs beaten to
q froth, and skim carefully. Now
strain the liquor into an earthen jar,
let it stand until cold, then put it in
to a cask, adding the strained juice
of fourteen lemons, with their peel
cut in thin slices; add half spoonful
of yeast on the top. Keep the
cask closely corked for two weeks.
Then put the beer into bottles, and
in another fortnight it will be fit
for use. Second method: To four
pounds of sugar add four ounces of
ginger, two ounces of cream oftartar
and four lemons: put all into an
earthen jar, and pour over it six
gallons of boiling water, and when
milk warm put in a little yeast. Let
it stand all night to work, bottle it
the next day, and in three days it
will be ready for drinking.-Good
Housekeeping.

Fletcher and Hardwick inclusive,
on any quantity of Salt that may
be ordered up to 5000 pounds.
This would bring the price, freight

A" Find I" Party.

I'D you ever go to a find party
Just at present they are the rage in
the East. At a recent one when the
guests had assembled they were in
formed that twenty small articles
had been hidden in various places in
the parlors and hall, and a list of
them was read aloud. They consist
ed of various toys, scissors, knives,
watch keys, whistles and a number
of small boxes filed with tiny bon
bons. There were two first prizes,
one to be given to the lady the other
to the gentleman finding the great
est number of articles. For the first
was IA quaint little coffee spoon, with
a gold bowl and curiously wrought
oxidized handle; a photograph hold
er was to reward like skill on the
part of some gentleman. Should
anyone fail to find a single article
he or she was to be rewarded with
a BOBBY prize. Then the fun began.
From vaces and rose jars, from be-
meath low easy chairs and hassocks,
from behind pictures, and in short
from all likely and unlikely places,
some of them having been slowed
away with an ingenuity that was
almost diabolical, the "lost" things
were brought to light and reported
to the committee, who awarded the
prize.

Young People Should Keep Ho use.
"The great increase in the number
of divorce cases in recent years, said
an old lawyer, who scores of times
had asked alimony for ill-used clients
is due in great part to the tendency
of the middle classes of society to
live in boarding-houses and family
hotels. With no housework to su-
pervise, nor even the care of their
own apartments, young wives and
middle aged wives also find them
selves with to much leisure on hand.
To vary the monotony of such life,
protracted shopping excursions,
street promenades and frequent
theatre matinees are resorted to.
My advice to the newly-married
couples" continued the venerable
vender of legal lore, is to settle
down to housekeeping, no matter
on how modest a scale it may be
Even if the bride has to soil her white
hands with housework. she will be
happier than if exposed to the dan
gers which lurk in the indolent life of
a clearinghouse existence.
