Birds Gathered His Almond Crop.

An almond grower of this locality hit
upon neat device for gathering his crop
last fall. His trees bore largely, and
this early became known to the yellow
hammers, species of the woodpecker
tribe of birds, and they had regularly
stored away large quantities of ripe nuts
taken from the orchard in the limb of an
oak tree near by. The astute orchardist
watched operations, and at last hit upon
a novel nut and labor saving plan, and
he lost no time in putting it into execu
ton.
The limb was sawed from the tree and
replaced by square shaped funnel long
enough to nearly reach the ground; a
bucket was then set underneath. A
genuine robbing game then went merrily
on. The birds gathered the nuts, which
they dropped into the tunnel and down
into the bucket below. and as regularly
as night came the almond grower would
in his turn empty it of its contents and
set it back for new supply. This was
kept up until the entire crop had been
gathered. and the yellowhammers had
departed broken hearted at the ksartless
deception practised upon them. Sr.ter

HOW TO BOIL MEATS.

In boiling meats, never put them in
cold water, but put them into that which
is boiling briskly. This will coagulate
the albumen on the inside, close the pores
and prevent the water from soaking out
the juices. If salted meats need fresh
'ening, let it be previously done with cold
water and frequent changing of it.
Tough and cheap pieces can Ee made
very tender and palatable as follows: Put
into the pot with little more water
than will be finally needed. Set into the
top of this pot pan containing cold
water. Have this pan fit the pot closely.
If the water in this pan gets boiling hot,
dip it out and add cold water from time
to time. Boil the meat until it gets ten
der. The steam aud favor OF the meat
will be condensed on the bottom of the
pan containing the water, and drop
back into the pot and be retained. When
the meat is well done, remove the pan
and let it simmer down slowly until it is
thick enough to jelly when cold. Now
remove the meat, take out the bones,
place in crock, pour over it the boiled
liquid, and lay over it large plate and
place weight on it. When cold, it is
excellent cut down for tea. Tough fresh
meat or corned beef used in this way is
superior to meat boiled in an open vessel
from which the flavor has escaped. d.-New
York Recorder.

FRIED MUsH.

Ten years ago, writes Octave Thanet,
fried mush was one of the specialties on
the Mississippi River steamboats,. And
this as far as I can judge from the eye
and the palate, and the conversation oI
our river cook who became butler
afterward and later priest and was
probably one of the most trustful coloreo
men that ever lived in this country-this
is the Mississippi way to fry mush: Make
a mush of fine white meal. Pour it into
square rectangular pans to the depth OF
one or two inches. Cut it into small
squares. Fry these squares in deep fat
Lard is best-just as you would fry
doughnuts. That is all there is to it.
The crust is crisp and golden brown, the
interior is snowy white. Eaten with
maple sirup there are few more satisfy.
ing breakfast cakes.
All cornmeal breads take kindly to
butter. It is best to grease the pans al.
ways with butter, and cornmeal gr1ddle.
cakes, unlike white -four griddle cakes,
are best fried on griddle creased mainly
with butter instead of with lard. sup
pose the reason is that cornmeal does not
brown nearly SO readily as flour. One
must always consider this fact. Chicago

New Jersey will ensure victory. The New York Sun agrees entirely with these views of it's Brooklyn contempo. rary, and recalls the fact that New York was lost in 1888 through & rain- bow campaign conducted by Brice, Villas and Dickinson, who expected to carry Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. The Sun recites the fate of the Democratic rainbow campaign of 1888 in the Republican states of the northwest, as follows:
 "The Michigan rainbow faded away into a plurality of 22,9lS for Harrison. The Minnesota rainbow disappeared in plurality of 38, l07 for Harrison. The Wisconsin rainbow vanished in plu- rality of Fl ,32l for Harrison. The Hi nois rain bow, most fascinating of all to the eyes of the confdiDg chasers, was lost to sight in plurality of 22,l04 for Harrison; and Benjamin Harrison was elected"
 The New York Tribune bluntly says Nhob she ASooVh bhC National committee is making ready to renew the rainbow" campaign this year in the Republican states of the northwest is because "as intelligent men they must realize that they can not carry New York for the ex-presi- dent" Despair of New York explains the anxiety ol the Democratic National committee to secure electoral votes in Republican northwest. Cleveland is found to be weaker in New York today than he was in 1888. He has no army of office holders behind him; he was nominated in defiance of the bitter opposition of his state, and he stands upon platform SO radically free trade that he cannot hope to carry great agricultural and manufacturing state whose industries have grown pros- porous under the Mckinley tariff.

Two Women Noyelists.

Among women story writers most read just now are Marie Wilkins in America and Marie Corelli in England. The two are as different as lake and a river, yet they have equal power.
 Marie Wilkins in America writes idyls of New England. It is safe to say they are among the strongest, most striking that have ever been penned. Her scenes and characters are so natural because she has found the true secret of realism not to paint actual characters, but such characters as might exist any where; not to describe actual events, but such events as might happen to anybody. So her tales fit everybody's humor. They are sweet, natural and wholesome. Her success as writer of long stories will probably be determined by "Jane Field," now appearing as a serial. As an author of short stories her fame was long since established. She lives in Randolph, Mass, and there is not particle of affectation about her or her delightful stories.
 Marie Coreli chooses to veil herself in as much mystery as blunt, broad day light, British civilization will admit. Nearly all persons who pretend to dab ble in SO called occult science" do the same, more's the pity. They generally get the name of being quacks and char latans, however, which serves them right.
 In plain English, Marie Corelli is Miss Mackay, daughter of Charles Mackay, who used to be editor of the London Illustrated News. "A Romance of Two Worlds" is the best known of her novels 50 far. The one which will have the greatest circulation is "The Soul of Lilith," however, because Queen Vic toria has taken fancy to it and com mended it warmly. The Corelli deals in weirdness, spookery and clairvoy- ance; slings the most incredible scenes and ideas off her pen point as if they were puff balls. The present interest in hypnotism and psychology generally has swung her stories powerfully forward on the tide of popularity.
 Besides this, Miss Corelli has views not always good natured or pleasant ones, and she filings them into her stories as literally as she does miracles. She hates Protestants, strong minded women and high society, and her work is con- stantly marred by her spiteful filings at these. The American Marie would never be guilty of such bad taste.

The Mockingblrd in California.

Some of my most intimate acquaint- ances have been the mockingbirds in the California groves. It seems almost unnecessary to cage them, they are so happy among the ever blooming trees, but cages hang in balconies, at doors and windows, all about the courts and under the caves, and passing down the streets one hears at all hours gushes of melody from the wonderful mimickers in their prisons It is cheerful sound, yet like better to listen to them as they fit at will where the red pomegranates flower, where the wild figs rear their massive canopies, where they may hide their yodng as they choose in the fra grant orange trees tops.
 One splendid fellow has his perch on windmill fan opposite my door, where all day long he pours out trills raptur- ous with glee. Some mornings he is in such ecstasy that he bubbles down his notes in snatches, wasting no time in weaving them together, whenever ap- pear on the doorstep. Iknow he watches for my coming, for he apparently hoards his musical quiver full of gay darts. keeping silence for intervals when air unseen, letting them fly in an arrowy shower, as if he would transport me when 1 reappear. He is the saucy tyrant who pecks at my bat, my hair, my gown, when venture too near the rose vine on the lattice where his newly matched babies are.--San Diego Cor. Christian Union.

A Dog Worth Having.

A women living in a flat on Gates avenue near Stuyvesant is the owner of dog that is worth having It is a mongrel cur as devoid of pedigree as q paving stone is of hair. Exactly how she came in possession of the dog she cannot say. He happened around one day in forlorn and hungry condition, and being fond of animals she took pity on him, fed him and at once the dog located on the premises. He is a good deal in appearance like Smileys frog, that is to say, there are no points about this dog to indicate that he is better than any other dog. But, as the sequel will show, he proved to be an animal of sin gular judgment and good sense. The other day while roaming in the vicinity he found a five dollar bill. Now by what process of reasoning or by previous observation that dog had learned that money had value or that five dollar bills were worth having, is impossible to say.
 The fact remains, however, that this intelligent mongrel dog took the bill in his mouth and, in spite of the efforts of number of street boys who saw the performance and tried to get the money away from him, scooted with it to the Gates avenue fiat and deposited it safely at the feet of his mistress with wag of his tail, as if to say, "You see, I'm able to pay for my board" The woman would not part with that dog now for a good many five dollar bills. This singu- lar story of an animals sagacity may look doubtful, but it is absolutely true Brooklyn Eagle.

DEMOCRATS IN THE WAR

Statistics in Washington in the wal office show that more Democrats en' listed and fought on the northern side than Republicans.-Topska Democrat.
 There are no such statistics. Nc record of the politics of enlisted men was ever kept, and any one who for a moment believes that any such ststis- tics exist is fool beyond redemption, The only records which give any in- sight into the politics of enlisted men is found in the election returns oi states which permitted soldiers to vote in the field. These show that nineteen. twentieths of the soldiers who voted in 1864 voted for Lincoln.
