The golden-rod received the plurality over all the
others and should DC named first in the notice. Then,

NOBILITY IN THE KITCHEN.
A Marquis, "A Count. and an italian Fro.
fcssor as Walters.

There is swell Italian restaurant
uptown that boasts of two Italian no.
blemen and an accomplished Italian
man of letters as being on its staff of
walters. A gentleman who was Italian
born and lived i'm that country until he
came To the wears Of maturity happen
ed in this restaurant to dine one day.
He was astoundcd TO be waited upon
by man who had been one of his
schoolmates in Italy and whom he had
afterward known as for many years n
professor OF Latin in one of the Ital-
ian universities. 1t was the old story
with this man, as he explained to his
whilom schoolmate. He had given up
his professorship and come to this
country in the hopes OF lettering his
fortunes. only to be disappointed, and
finally to be driven to waiting on tables
rs the only employment open to him.
In the same restaurant, he said, there
was IA marquis and count who had
been students in the university when
he was "a professor there. These two
scions of noble families had come TO
this country after having run through
in dissipation what little patrimonies
had como to them. and after knocking
about from one thing to another had
come down to their present low estate.

BATHING IN COLD WEATHER.
Plunge Into Ice Water and Emerge. n
Possible, with a Smile.

A correspondent of the Buffalo Com
mercial recalls an experience OF bath
ing with several comrades in the CEN
trail part OF the state some twenty
years ago. IL was more than fire
quentlyn that we INDUCED in an open
air winter bath. Ii was IA daily insti-
tuition, from autumn till the following
springtime, zero temperature not
daunting. The bathing place was kept
open by cutting and removing the ice
as often as necessary. The daily bath
was abandoned after the tee disap-
peared, because the zcst and glow of
the reaction were missed. The bath,
as may be imagined, was bold plunge,
"A seconds disappearance. and then IA
hasty retreat TO shelter for the vigor-
Gus application OF crash towel. II
may be superfluous to say that there
was no dawdling between the towel
application and the DOMINIC Of the
warm suit that had been thrown off "a
moment before. 1t was sought. | re-
member, to extract as much fun and
good humor as possible from the exer-
else, by introducing often some little
competitive scheme. For instance,
the one who could emerge from the
icy plunge with the broadcast and
blandest smile wrcathing his features
was rewarded with vociferous braves
from the group Of onlookers. Suffice
it TO say that the ''smiles" were often
quite forced and artificial. but were not
the less provocative Of merriment in
the spectators. The bathers laughed
at pneumonia and all kindred ailments
that flesh is heir to. If any caution
were needed it might be added that
tonics of the above kind are for those
only who enjoy robust hea!th.

IN the American political system
the Importance of the elections by
which offices are filled is not greater
than that of the primaries at which
candidates for those offices are nomi-
mated. 1t is practically impossible,
except under extraordinary circum-
stances, to elect any but the nominees
OF one of the regular organizations.
1t is of little avail to make elections
free and pure, if the primaries are
controlled by corrupt influences. The
citizen who drops his ballot in the box
at the polling booth has not fulfilled
his duty to the state unless he also at
tended the primary, and there used
his best efforts TO make it possible for
him TO vote for n good candidate, by
forcing the nomination of such a can

THE political Mrs. Grundy is n
phantom coniured by the apprehension
of politician of what he supposes to
be the opinion of the people or OF Il
party. The inevitable result OF the
apprehension is TO regard that general
opinion as mean and unintciligcnt, so
that the politician is often trying TO
conform to a standard that he despises.
Instead of asking what does the public
advantage require and what ought to
be done, he wonders what he can do
that will ALLEVIATE the least votes.

pushes her eggs in among the young
flowers. When the larva is full grown
it wriggles its way out of the head and
falls to the ground, where at or just
beneath the soil surface it forms a
slight cocoon, within which it changes
to the pupa state. About ten days
later the flies emerge to lay eggs for
another brood. In the northern states
there are two broods each season,
while at the south there are at least
three, and possibly more.
Remedies. The best preventive of
the injuries of this insect yet suggested
is that of moving the field about the
middle of May lin the latitude of CEN
trail Ohio when the green heads are
just forming, and leaving the partial
crop thus cut on the ground as a mulch
and fertilizer. A new crop of bios
SONS is then produced, which comes
between the regular crops and also be-
tween the two broods of the nudge
This method has been tried for several
years by some of the best farmers in
Ohio with excellent results. The other
remedies ordinarily recommended are
early cutting of the first crop-about
ten days earlier than usual-and
pasturing the fields in spring. But
there are serious objections to both
these methods.

the back, and two bright yellow stripes
upon each side, which are connected by
fine, yellow, transverse lines The
caterpillars now construct, slightly be-
meath the soil surface, loose cocoons
composed of particles of earth fastened
together by silken threads, within
which they change to pupa. About a
fortnight later the moths emerge, and
deposit eggs for a second brood of
larvae. which develop early in autumn,
pupating before winter, and hibernat-
ing within their cocoons.
Remedies. When young the larvae
are congregated together upon one or
few leaves, and may then easily be
checked by manipulating. Later they
are open to destruction by the applica-
ton of hot water, insect powder or
kerosene emulsion.

Putting salt in Cream.

A well-known western dairyman, C.
S. Arnold, is on record as saying that
he salts his cream as fast as taken from
the milk, at the rate of two ounces of
salt to the gallon of cream, and is get
ting gratifying results. The cream
ripens better, and with no disposition
to excessive fermentation. The churn
gets more butter from the cream and
quicker than when mo salt is used.
All this may be so, and as Mr.. Arnold
says, but the amount Of salt seems ex-
cessive. So far as the ehurnIng and
getting all the butter, we think that
adding some fair strengthened brine, a
quart to the gallon of cream when the
churn is started, would be better than
Just salt alone. 1t is only another
sign that dairymen are after that last
ounce of butter, and are bound TO have
it-foK profit Practical Farmer.
