As this is the season of the year for using
this plant, and finding that many people
still cling to the old method of peeling be-
fore using, wish to urge them to let it re-
main on the stalk as that is the very best
part of it. Try my way of making sauce:
Wipe the plant to remove the dust, cut
with sharp knife into pieces one-half inch
long, sweeten to taste with graduated
sugar, level teaspoonful of salt to pint of
rhubarb, fill boiling water into the dish till
you can see it, cover and put it where it
will boil cook till the juice is of pinkish
color, cool and eat. This is good guide
for pies, remembering to use salt and gran
uated sugar, thicken with flour and cook
slowly.
The lateness of the hour prevented us
from having time enough to talk upon the
making and baking of small cakes, but
samples of cookies, hermits, ginger snaps
and drops, and similar cakes were brought
and eaten and were found to be delicious.
The recipes came also and will prove use
full in the future.
The program for our next meeting con-
sists of music, singing, defamation, paper,
"The Grange Husbandman," society notes,
and essays upon grange matters, discussion
upon spring work upon the farm. A.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Two Bank DefalcatiOns.

The PhUnIXviIIe National Bank and the
Bank of the Harlem, New York, Lose
Many Thousand Dollars Through Dis
honest Presidents.
j. r. Hunter, eX-president of the Php-
niXville, Pa, national bank, has been ar
rested, charged with making false entries
i'm his report to the comptroller of the cur
rency. Hunter has been placed under S10,-
600 bonds. 1t is stated that his shortage
amounts to 100000. For some time
there has been dissatisfaction with the
bank management, and January first a
new board of directors were chosen. I'M
mediately after the condition of the bank
was brought to light. Hunter has been
connected with the bank 16 years, begin
ming as teller and rising to the presidency.
He is also charged with accomplishing the
ruin of George Roberts, former director
and cashier of the bank. Several years
ago it was blamed by Hunter that Roberts
was wrong in his accounts to the amount
of SIS, 600. Roberts declared that he had
never used the money and there was no
evidence to show that il had been in his
possession, but he could not account for
the disappearance, and he was obliged to
turn over all of his property to make good
the loss Roberts was completely broken
down i'm consequence and his mind became
impaired.
In examining the assets of the bank of
the Harlem, New York, preparatory to its
union with the Hamilton bank it was dis
covered that the stockholders were out to
the amount of $01, 600. Some of the losses
had been outstanding for years. EXPIRES
idents Pinkham and Van Voorhis are
both accused of putting their hands into
the till and leaving worthless paper as Sc
curity. The former is indebted to the bank
to the extent of $50, 600 and the latter to
the amount of $4,000. Pinkham has
been arrested, but Van Voorhis is in Mex
icn.

Not content with printing Henry Georges
free trade book in the Congressional Rec
ord, the Democrats in the House are now
mblushingly using the ranking privilege
to effect the free and wide distribution of
the document for campaign purposes.
Only that part of the Congressional Rec
ord is used which contains Georges book
In this way it is printed in pamphlet
form at government expense, and 10000
copies a day are mailed under the franking
privilege, and Democrats are called upon
to furnish addresses of voters to whom the
document may be sent.

Disastrous Freshet. In the West.

There have been disastrous freshets in
several sections of the West during the
past few days. The loss to property and
crops will amount to hundreds of thousands
of dollars. On Thursday and Friday of
last week rain storms which in severity
were without a parallel prevailed. In the
vicinity of Peoria, Joliet, Ottumwa and
other places in Illinois hundreds of acres
of land were inundated. Houses were
flooded and many people fled to the bluffs.
In Iowa there was similar condition of
affairs. The train service was demoralzed,
many miles of rail being under water In
Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma
the damage was enormous.

Free Delivery in Small Towns.

The postmaster general has made re-
port to the Senate of the results of the eX-
detrimental free delivery of mails in small
towns. Forty-eight towns in all parts of
the country were selected, and in every
case except two (where carriers could not
be obtained at the salary authorized), the
service has been highly successful and has
the appreciation of the people and press of
those towns. In nearly every town the in
crease in postal receipts was equal to the
additional expense of free delivery service
1t will be remembered that the system was
tried at Ludlow in this state and at Han
over y. II.

the General Conference.
A feature of the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal churches now in
session at Omaha, was the address of Bish-
op Foster few days ago, in which he
stated that the past four years had been a
prosperous era for the church. The book
concerns of the church are the largest in
the world. There have been no dissen-
sions in the church and there is more intel
ligence and less bigotry in the pulpit. The
membership during the past four years has
grown rapidly and now numbers 2,2O2, GA
communicates 442, 600 souls have been
added to the church during the four years
by comparison with four years preceding.
Contributions to all missionary societies
have increased 1884, 100.
The EpwOrth league received great
praise as mediator between the Sunday
school and church. 1t has in the three
years sprung up from naught to 5000 chap
tiers, with SOC, 600 members. The Nation
al university at Washington is announced
as a certainty and liberal endowments ask
ed for, millions being necessary for its
equipment. The Woman'S college in Bal
timore was also commended.

In the NIck Of Mime.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder
and kidney complaints is when the organs con
cerned exhibit a tendency to grow Inactive. The
healthful impulse toward activity that they re-
ceive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters IT scues
them from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous maladies as Brght's disease and di-
abetes Sluggishness of the kidneys increases a
liability TO chronic rheumatism, govt and dropsy,
and since the blood is filtered by these organs in
its passage through them, the operation of the
Bitters serves a doubly happy purpose The
medicine acts without exciting, like the fiery
stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dyspeptc,
constipaled and nervous invalids are thoroughly
relieved by it, Since the advent of that shocking
maady la grippe, il has been widely demOnstrat-
ing its usefulness as a curative and preventive of
