keeper will only remember them. One
is that to keep ice warm is the way to
keep it cold. A piece of ice in a pitcher,
with pail over the pitcher and rug
over the pail, will keep all night. A
piece of ice in refrigerator, covered
with snug white blanket will cheat
the greedy ice-man every day, and snap
saucy fingers at the milk that does not
dare to get sour or the beefsteak that
does not fail. These things are admira-

THE principles underlying the great
reform movement of the Farmers alIi-
ance are such that il they are success
fully carried out the whole social system
will be lifted to Il higher plane. The
first principle is to labor for the agricul-
tural and laboring classes in the science
of economical government, in Il strictly
non-partisan spirit, and to bring about a
more perfect union of these classes: see
ond. to demand equal rights forall and
special fasors for none: third, to endorse
the motto. "In things essential. unity;
and in all things. charity" fourth, to de-
yclop a better state mentally. NOR
ally, socially. financially: fifth. to
constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will with all mankind,
and brothcrly love among ourselves:
sixth, to suppress personal. local. sec
tional and national prejudice, all un-
healthy rivalry and selfish ambition.
This, as, may be observed, is noble
program. The agricultural and industrial
societies which advocate the principles
here laid down have undertaken task
that is surrounded on every side with
difficulties, yet all these obstacles can
be overcome and through the education
of these millions in the science of gov
ernment the now existing corruption in
politics will be wiped out.-Hnmiiton

Chance for Old Maids.

There is great chance for old
maids in the Argentine Republic" re-
marked Henry Bosquet. of Buenos
Ayres, at the Richelleu. There
are sixteen men to one woman there,
and the unmarried males are more than
anxious to secure wives. This is es-
peclally true of my city. When new
woman, as we call the welcome arrival,
comes to town about fifty men make q
wild effort to secure her. 1t is quite an
interesting contest, and the one who
captures the prize is looked upon as
something Of hero. The local pa
pers write columns about it, and about
everybody in the city turns out to the
wedding 1t doesn't matter much
about the woman's age or looks, she is
received with open arms and married
off in jiffy to some real nice man.
The woman will have about fifty good
looking s1litors to pick from, SO she
need not be anxious about not finding
the kind of a man she wants. The
love-making doesn't last long. however.
Three days is the usual limit"
Mr.. Bosquet also spoke about the de-
lightfnl climate of his country, of the
luxury everybody there enjoyed, and il

Andrew Jackson. when he was presi-
