Immaculate lips OF the Hon. ~ Bill Hack
ney:
WHAT HACKNEY SAID TO THE GOVERNOR.
"Mr. Walker, Mr.. Hanley, Mr.. Finley
and myself, came here for the purpose of
entering our protest against the appoint
ment of Mr.. Perkins. We, with Rev.
Kelly, took up your cause for the Office
Nof governor at time when there was ap-
psrently' little hope of success. We did
this because we were your friends, and
believed that you were the best man for
governor of this state, Snd believing this
we were willing to go down with you If
we failed to nominate you. No personal
motives actustel us, and there was no
position at your command that any of us
would have. We came here and put Ia
our time, and came very near killing
myself In the effort, and l want to say to
you as your friend that you cannot afford |
to appoint B. W. Perkins, as It would be
the political mistake of your life. He
has been In Congress from your district |
for eight years. When he first went to
Congress the Republican majority in
that district was in the thousands, and
from that time 1t dwindled until his
final defeat. The crowd that came here
from that district to help him was COM
posed of'sofice holders and men whose
friends through him had been appointed
to Office. Yet, Notwithstanding that fact
they were actuated far more bv personal
friendship for you In getting him out Of
what they thought was your way, than
by any desire to elevate him. But the
thousands Of men In that dlstrlct-good
and true Republicans who don't want
him-are not here. {

To Press Ferns.

Place the fronds to be pressed smoothly,
one by one, in the layers of newspaper,
putting at least three thicknesses of paper
between the fronds. Arrange the latter
with their points all the same way, for
the pressure will sometimes leave the
dent of the thicker part of the stack Of
one fern across the delicate tip of an
other. Ferns with especially coaye
stems should be pressed in a pile by
themselves for the same reason. The
book covers or boards, with the pile of
fern filled papers into them, should be
placed under heavy weight; the next
day the ferns should be taken out, one
by one, and placed in fresh papers with
the same care as before. The papers
first used Can be spread to dry, and
again used for the next days change.
1t will not be necessary then to change
again for three or four days, aud after
that they may rest undisturbed for a
week, or, still better, for two weeks.
When taken out they should be kept in
a fiat pile till wanted for use, to prevent
them from curling up.-Good House.

A very sad incident. showing how one
may make nm idol Of pleasure, lately occurred
in New England town.
A young woman living As an assistant In
n certain family was attacked by the pre-
vailiug epidemic, u grippe. but through
kind care and skilful treatment she nearly
recovered. While still convalescent she an.
nounced her intention Of attending ball
which was to be held in the vicinity.
..If you co. said her physician, "you will
take your life in your hand" -.
II would rather die than miss the Dance"
was the answer.
She went, but before the close OF the eVen-
ing she became so exhausted that 1t was
necessary to carry her home. The COM
bined exposure and eXertion proved fatal.
A week later she had paid the fearful price
of her indiscretion.
/, this not Il mournful illustration OF the
exrcme to which love Of pleasure may lead!
One thinks little dancing is innocent, that
q little playing will do no harm. that q
moderate degree of corviviaity will help
kim to win a desirable reputation OF good
fellowship. But where is the point at which
one should stop?
we shudder at the thought that youn 6
woman. with all of life's wonderful possibili-
ties before her, should be willing TO put
them n the balance against any form OF
recreation, however innocent in itself. Yet
how many have sacrificed body and soul to
all extravagant love Of amusement There
are recrcations that strengthen the mind and
the body, and have in themselves no tenden-
cy to cStravagant indulgence. There are
pleasures that divert while they profit.
When we engage IN any form of recreation,
we do well to ask ourselves first, ITO That
may this ;ead? - American Messenger

AN APPLE COMPoTE.

Wash and wipe some fine well.favored
apples (not sweet.) Core them with an
apple corer, being careful not to leave
in any of the hulls which sometimes
penetrate far into the fruit; then pare
them evenly 80 that they will be smooth
and of good shape. Boil gently in water,
enough to just reach the tops, with a
square inch or two of thin lemon peel,
teaspoonful of sugar being added for
each apple. Cook until they are soft,
but not broken; they will need careful
watching towards the last lest they go
to pieces; when done lift them out into
a glass dish. The amount of water used
will depend upon the number of apples,
but whatever is used, boil it until it is re-
6uced one.half. Fill the. holes with
apple, grape or any bright colored jelly,
and when the syrup is cool pour it over.
When the apples are thoroughly cooked,
without breaking, they make a pretty
dish.-St. Louis Republic.

HOW TO COOK A HAM.

First soak your ham all night in water,
which should cover it entirely. Then
get it on the fire to boil. The rule for
boiling ham is fifteen minutes to each
pound, so you can easily tell by weigh
ing, to the exact amount of time that it
will be necessary to cook it. When it
is half boiled change the water, and to
the last boiling add cupful of molasses.
When it is done set it to cool, and when
it is cold enough, skin it and put it in
the oven to bake until the whole is nicely
Drowned. Some people sprinkle it be-
fore putting it in the oven with brown
sugar, which forms q sort of glace.
Many lard it with cloves. An old south
ern cook had way of covering the
whole ham after it was skinned with a
dough paste made of flour and water,
and then putting it in the oven to bake.
This, she claimed, confined all the juices
to the ham, 'and the results she obtained
were certainly delicious.

A Great many seem to think that being
filc,i with the Spirit is something mysterious,
Intangible ard difficult to apprehcnd. This
cannot be so, because it is n command that
we be thus rilled. and God would not COM
mand anything so mysterious that we could
not grasp it, apprehend it, undertake it. 1t
is lust as much n command US that we should
believe Oh the Lord Jesus Christ, and do
works meet for repentance. We are to live
in communion with the asceaded Christ, and
so drink in the power of the spirit that we
shall be filled. Only thus can we have

Piano Tuners are All Nerves.

The piano tuner who Is man has
not learned from books. He has grown
up with the piano as a boy in the fac.
tory and knows it at every stage. His
ear is attuned to those fine differences
that are essential to the best of sort of
piano Turning, and his appreciation OF
them is almost like an instinct. TO
catch these he is always on the alert.
Every sound detracts him. child's cry,
a birds chirp. The constant wear and
tear engeDdes nervous irritability; he
becomes bundle of nerves, and the dis
tance from thence to crankiness is not
far. 1t is this strain on the nerves. rather
than the muscular strength required.
that makes piano tuning a discouraging
occupation for women. The muscular
strength required in holding up the
strings is considerable, but women
could stand it much better. Another
obstacle to women's success as piano
tuners is that they are not mechanics.
A man tuning piano IS expected to
remedy the creaking pedal and anything
else amiss that can be done without
sending it to the shop. This his prev
ious experience enables him to do. AL.
together it seems that women piano
tuners could hardly compete with men,
but in remote places might find their
ervices vsluable.-New York Sun.

Which Thou hast set within my heart

Oh, let me drink US Adam drank,
Before from Thee he fell:

By the clear fountain may rest,
