NO EGGS FOB THEM

Vegerarians Rep1diate the Pleasing Pro-
quot of the Common Hen.
1t has frequently been observed that the
vegetarians are not wholly unanimous Ia
their views as to what shall constitute
vegetarian diet, says a London journal.
The old fashioned section Of sixty years
since freely admitted into their cuisine
ami nal products.
They tolerated, for example, twenty FIVE
ways Of dressing eggs, IN the form OF fri
cassees, or fried with onions and mush-
rooms, or poached with cucumbers or aspar-
agus, or served with graled cheese, or out
tered with sorrel, or minced with parsley,
Or hashed with butter and cream. They
favored patato omelettes, eggs and Knock
bacOn-a somewhat Jesultical Wand this
mushrooms on toast, ragouts of carrots, fri
cassee of beet root, lemon buildings, dam-
son dumplings, apple and curd cheese cakes
rice hummerles, cherry cheese.

cakes, picked walnuts, cowslip sherbet,
Turkish ''yar0urt "a truly DELICIOUS deli
cacy, in the shape Of semi-sour curded
cream, which Turkish hawkers continue to
cry every spring In the streets of STEAMBOAT;
while the Russians add sour cream as an
agreeable zest to their ''stchi, or cabbage
and beef soup.
The old vegetarians admit this ''stchi,"
but without the beef. Within recent years
there has risen another school of vegetari-
ans who repudlate eggs, cream, cheese and
butter and allow for the fabrication Of their
dishes on y a small quantity of vegetable
oil.
Yet another sect of abstainers from flesh
think great deal more of haricot beans,
lentln pottage, and other kinds Of pulse,
tnan they do OF green vegetables; and, flu

Home Making.

Let any clever woman simply take it to
heart to make everybody about her as hap
py as she can, and the result will, be-
lieve, always be wonderful. Let her try
not so much TO make her rooms splendid
and esthetically admirable as to make
them thoroughly habitable and comfort
able for those who are to occupy them. A
drawing-room, bright and clean, sweet
with flowers in summer aud with dried
leaves in winter, with tables at which the
inmates may occupy themselves; and easy
chairs wherever they are wanted, and
plenty of soft light and warmth, or else

The Canada Thistle

Inc canada Thistle
A correspondent Of the Practical Farm
er gives his experience in trying to ex-
terminate the Canada thistle. After try
ing for several years upon a field where
there was a half acre which he desired to
cultivate and upon other sma Her lots of
them, he says: Il will give three sugges-
tions for the benefit of these who are
troubled with the Canada thistles First
if you have only few on your farm, dig
them out and put two or three large hand
fuls of salt in each hole. Be sure ard
destroy the stems that have dug out, as
they will grow again if they should
come in contact with fine earth,
under favorable circumstances.
Second, if you have a quantity
in pasture lot, keep them cut down with
a sharp hoe, cut them every week and salt
them so that the stock will nibble them &C.
casionally. Sheep are especially good for
this. Third, # the thistle patch is on
arabic land, put it IN some cultivated crop,
such as potatoes or beans, and confines as
long as their is thistle left. No matter
which of these suggestions is practiced, it
will be seen that the main object is to keep
them cut under the surface OF the ground
which Is the only feasible rule, never al
lowing energy or patience to wane until
the object is accomplished.

Starting a Flock

The way to start a flock, where wool and
mutton is the object, is to get good com
mon ewes, then buy good, registered
Oxford Down ram. Keep the best eve
Lambs, selling some of the old ones with
the wethers and poorest eve lambs. All
male lambs not intended for breeding
should be castrated, as they then make a
better feeders and sell better in the mar
ket. Butchers will not buy ram lambs
LATE in the season as they do not make
good quality of mutton. Never allow a
shipper to pick over your flock; always
do the picking yourself. Continue this
plan five or teD years, changing rams every
two years, and you never made more money
on any STOCK than your purebred ram will
make you
In selecting, buy good ram, and do
not use ram because you can get him
cheap, if he is not good ole; and do not
buy a ram because ne Is pure bred and
registered, unless he is a good Individual,
for there are many pure-bred scrubs. Buy
a good, strong, vigorous ram, q heavy
boned, bIocky-built fellow, we'll wooded all
over, which will stamp his get with his
good qualities. You will be surprised at
your succe1s, and have a flock ct sheep
that will sell at S. to 80 head more than
common stock. We have tried this plan

SECOND TERM IN HISTORY
II Was Formerly the Rule to Give a Sec
Ond Nomination

New York Recorder: No matter what
interested politicians may say against a
second term in the presidency, the
weight of precedent is against them.
J he balance is almost even. Look at the
record
In all we have had twenty-three
presidents. Seven Of them were re-
elected, namely: Washington, Jefferson
Madison, Monroe, jackson. Lincoln and
Grant. Two we're renominated and
failed of election-Martin Van Buren,,
who was defeated by Harrison, and Mr.
Cleveland, who was beaten by the re-
publican grandson of the great Wing
leader. I his gives nine presidential re,
nominations, seven of which were APP
proved by the people
Six presidents who lived out their
terms of Office failed to get renomina
tion. 7 hey are the two Adamses, Polk,
Pierce Buchanan and Hayes. Three
presidents died during their first terms,
namely-Harrison, Taylor, and Garfield.
The four vice presidents who became
presidents Tyler, Fillmore, johnson
and Arthur-were all beaten for the reg
ular nomination.
The record thus stands: Nine presi-
dents renominated and seven of them
re elected; six presidents and four vice
presidents who we're set aside by their
respective parties oud three presidents
who died or were killed during their first
terms.
This analysis shows that IN the early
days of the republic the second term was
the rule of political action

Planting an Apple Orchard.

number of varieties. Some do this under
the impression that it will be an aid in
marketing. This is q mistake, as a COM
merciaI orchard must mainly be made up
of winter apples, and large lot of enc or
better advantage than small lots of many
kinds. Many of the largest and most
profitable orchards of western New York
are made up wholly of one or two kinds.
If you know one standard variety that is
uniformly successful in your immediate
locality you cannot go far wrong in plant
ing that almost entirely for your market
crop. Planting for home useis a different
thing, and here the first aim should be to
procure a constant succession of fruits.

OUR NATIONAL BIRD.
An Appropriate Emblem for the Tip OF
Flag Staff

An Appropriate Emblem for the Tip of
our Flag staff.
1t has been proposed lately to ornament
the tip of the flagstaff used In the regular
army of the United States with the repre-
sentatlcn III metal of the bald eagle, which
is the emblem of our republic. The stats
of regimental standards now terminate
with pixies. The eagle has already done
duty IN this way upon the standards of
other nations, and particularly upon those
Of Rome and France. The American
eagle, however, is of a different variety
from the eagle of France and tue Roman
republic. 1t is of an American variety
the 'bald, or white-headed, eagle. The
ordinary name of the bird is a misnomer.
1t Is not bald, but simply white headed,
the feathers on the head and neck Of adult
| specimens being snowy white.
The honor Of first naming this bird as
the emblem of the United States belongs
to John }. Audubon, the naturalist, whose
name will be for ever associated with our
bird life. He called the bald eagle the
Washington eagle" because, he said,
washington was brave, as the eagle is.
| Like It, too, be was the terror of his en-
emles, and his fame, extending from pole
| to pole, resembles the soarings of the
AC o. VI bi1C GL&UE- IL aL1GI-
lea has reason to be proud Of her Wash
| ington, SO has she to be proud of her great
eagle" The bald eagle, with wings ex-
tended, or displayed proper" as it is
| called IN heraldry, was made the embler,
OF the United States in the year 1885.
Benjamin Franklin did not approve the
choice The bald eagle, he declared, was
2 very evll-disposed bird, who would not
earn an honest living, but got his Hveli-
hood by violence, deceit, and rapine. He
diG not consider such a creature the
worthy emblem of a people who had gal
lantly driven out of their country all king
lY birds of prey. FrankIin's critical judg-
ment did not prevail 1t is true, as he
declared, that the bald eagle lives chiefly
by violence and THEFT, swooping down up
on the osprey, and snatching from this
industrious bird the fish that it has Just
! caught. But the eagle, on occasion, can
take fish out of the water with great skill.
| The eagle Is, moreover, bird of dignity,
as well as of bravery aud beauty, and its
strong attachment to its young and to It's
home certainly recommends it as an
American emblem.-Baltimor Sun.

NATURE.
WILLIAM BRUNTON.

To be with thee, o Mother Nature dear,
Tho glowing days of summer sweet and kind
In raylShment 10 note the wonders near,
Is magic song and music to the mind,
To roam thy hills, thy valleys stretching far,
To follow rivers reaching to the sea,
To nature flowers. or watch the evening star
May be the soul of art and poetry!
So lives the lark that MARBLES all day long:
So blooms the lily fair, so breathes the rose;
SO willows list the brooklet's bubbling song,
so quiet stars in pease of heaven repose!
AS showers feed the ripping mountain stream,
As seeds give birth to beauty all divine,
So life with thee feeds hope and love and dream,
Till their immortal perfumed blossoms shine?
Surprising what our eyes delighted see,
PertecJIng pleasures senses family feel,
Gran pictures rise above the verdant lea,
;. Otwhat new worlds before would fain reveal!
So time with wings robs earth of treasures rare,
Yet seeks to teach the while her mystic word,
Its whispered blessing charms the trembling air
Till poet hearts like ocean depths are stir d
Such soul afeld, whose home is palace fair,
May pluck wild weeds entiCing as the light;
He II let them go when once he enters there,
When TO the king loves kingdom comes Il
sight
So near to Natures heart I'm near to God;
My life bird on paradisal tree,
1t wings Its way where golden sunshine trod,
1t sings the bliss of ali eternity!

Kind words, remembered voices, once so sweet,
Smiles, radiant long ago,
And features, the great souI's apparent seat.

Planting Strawberries.

Two hundred strawberry planrs, we'll
cared for, will produce all the fruit that
any ordinary family can require for Its
own use, and this number, properly cult
waited, will give much greater satisfac-
ton than a thousand plants that are
handled in 4 hap-hazard manner. Pre-
pare your ground now by deep blowing
and heavy manuring, and set the plants
the Iasi of August or early in September,
and they will produce enough fruit next
spring to repay you well. We have tried
many kinds, but for home use nothing
has given us better satifact1on than

Value OF Manure,

A writer in an exchange says horse
produces about 55 pounds of manure per
day, worth 81 50 per ton or 7.7cents'
worth per day, little less than 81 cents
per week. This is q much larger amount
than is allowed by English and German
authorities, who place 1t from SO to AZ
pounds of solid and liquid matter per day
or less than four-ffths that amount. The
same writer allows IS pounds per day for
COW, worth s. so per ton; year old hog
81 pounds, worth So. 40 per ton; aud a
sheep one year old or more 81 pounds,
worth S415 We think these amounts are
all too high, and the value must depend
upon the quality Of feed, ETC., as we'll as on
the demand forit.
