-Free-Trade England suffered great
pain and embarrassment when the United
States called on her recently to put in .
strong prop under the Mckinley tariff by
making arrangements for Reciprocity be-
tween this country and her sugar and cof-
fee producing islands. 1t was the very
irony of fate that England should be put
in this position. She was extremely re-
luctant to grant the demands of the Unit
ed States and make concessions that
strengthened and fortified the Mckinley
tariff, but she had to do that or find the
products of her sugar and coffee growing
colonies excluded from this country. She
came to terms, but no doubt felt that the
demand for Reciprocity in respect to Brit
ish sugar and under the provisions of the
Mckinley tariff was "the most unkindest
cut Of ALL"

considerable interest in the study of the
geography of South America. IL is true
Chill makes but small showing on a map.
She is from 20 to 100 miles wide. These

NAL. Counting the provinces recently ac-
quired from Peru, Chilli is 1000 miles long

"A notable event last week was the
death of Rev. Charles II. Spurgeon, at
Mentone, France, Sunday night He was
probably the most noted preacher in Eng.
land, and although not man of profound
learning, his evident sincerity. purity of
heart, moral courage and native eloquence
had enabled him for the best part of gen.
GRAFTON to attract large audiences and had
secured for his writings the attention of
great multitudes of readers on both sides
of the Atlantic. Spurgeon was a power,
except when he undertook to defend an
tiquated creeds and there he signally failed.
We remember reading, several years ago. a
sermon of his on Election" 1t might
have been all plain to Mr.. Spurgeon and
the fault wholly in US. But we found in
1t no logic, no truth which appealed to the
mind and heart, simply series of contra
dictions and absurdities from beginning to
end. In fact, it was theological curios-
ity which did not reflect at all the real
goodness of the man who produced it.

Hints to lIousckccpcr>.

Wood that has been warped may be
brought straight again in some cases by
wetting the converse side and placing it
in the sun or 1t 4 moderate distance from
the FIRE
\ good remedy for inflammation of the
eyes caused by cold is to drop lump OF
alum the size OF a hickory nut into tea
cup OF hot milk. The curd will separate
from the whey. Put the curd, which may
be kept mostened by the whey, between
a told of soft muslin and lay it over the
eyes.
Fish that are to be fried should be laid
in a cloth to lose some of its moisture,
then rolled in fine crumbs or corn meal.
Those kinds that are liable to break
must be dipped in beaten egg and then in
crumbs. The in which tits fried, whether
it be lard, butter or oil, must be very hot.
All fried fish should be garnished with
parsley.
1t is frequently asked how much mus
tard should be given if it is desired to
make patient sick in case OF Group or
poisoning a tablespoonful of ground
mustard to tumbler of warm water is tie
rule. Salt is almost as etfcacous as mus
tard if the latter is not at hand If the
the first tumbler has no effect, give more
and tickle the back of the throat with
a feather.
Oil cloths should not be washed with
soap. Wipe with Il wet cloth after brush
ing with a soft floor brush. y good coat
of copal varnish at long intervals improves
them.

"DANA'S Is GUhRhN TFED TO CURK."

Those who like their beef marbled, that
is. with the fat and lean well mixed to-
gether, are reminded that nothing brings
it to that condition more surely than a
mixed ofroots, or pumpkins with a good
ration OF grain. 1t may not make as much
tallow as the grain alone would do, and
perhaps may not increase the weight as
fast, but it makes beef that is more ten
der, juicy and better favored, if the feed
ing OF roots is discontinued for about two
weeks before the slaughtering. This is
especially necessary in the case OF turnips
and carrots, which mpar their peculiar
flavor to the meat. Even old cows, not
vet quite dried off, and oxen tina, have a
little light work to do yet, Just enough to
give them the needed exercise for a good
digestion, can be tatened in this way at
a profit, the same rule holds true in
regard to mutton. Those who are iatten-
ing meat for home use, or for neighbors
and especial customers, will do well to
bear this in mind, but those who fatten
for the general market must produce what
the market demands, and if they can get
better prices for tough muscle and tallow
than for meat in which fat and lean are
well mixed, we shall not blame them for
trying to produce it.

product of the flax plant by which a good
quality Of linen is produced. If practical,

great deal as at present we are paying
$50, ooo, 900 annually to foreign countries
for the linen, which by the new process
can be made in this country. American
ingenuity is rapidly developing industries
in this country that have heretofore been
