Break into small pieces six ouncesiof
macaroni; throw these into boiling
water and boil rapidly twenty minutes.
I say rapidly, because the motion OF
the water prevents the macaroni from
sticking together. When done, drain
in colander and throw into cold water
to blanch for fifteen minutes. Put
half pint of milk in farina boiler;
rub together one tablespoonful of but
ter and four even tablespoonfuls of
-four; stir into the milk, and cook and
stir continually until thick paste is
formed; then add the yelks of two
eggs, cook moment longer, take from
the fire, add two tablespoonfuls of
grated cheese, palatable seasoning of
salt and pepper. Drain and shake the
macaroni, cut it into half inch pieces,
stir these into the mixture and turn
out to cool. When cold, form into

A GUNBOAT SINKS.
A Haytian Vessel Lost With All on
Board.

Fl
The Alexander Petion, one of the new gum
boats of the Haytian Navy, foundered on
September near Cape Tiburon and only one
of her crew of ninety men survived to tell
the story.
The Alexandra Potion was the last of the
gunboats constructed for the Haytian navy.
She was bailt in Hayre, France, for the Gov
ernment of Hayti only few months age, ,and
left Port-au-Prince on September bound
for the city of San Domingo She had on
board as passengers General Moliner,
Special dominican Plenipotentiary to Hayti
M. de Jean, Consul to San Domingo, and Mr..
Cohen, formerly Haytian Minister to Mex
leo. The party were going to San Domingo
to arrange the final terms of an agreement
between Hayti and San Domingo.
The Alexandra Petion carried ninety sail
ors marines and oI1cers, besides the diplo-
matte party She sank at four o'clock in the
morning. Why it was that she sank nobody
knows. Her sole survivor, a colored sailor,
was picked up few miles from Porto Pim-
into on September 8.
He was upon a heavy plank and was pad
ding with pair of oars. He was an ignor-
ant man s.nd could not give an intelligible
account of how the accident took place. He
said that it was in the early morning. The
gunboat began to go down bow first. Nearly
all those on board sank with the vessel. A
few jumped and kept up until they were too
exhausted to struggle longer.
The survivor found the plank and two oars
near the vessel. He fioated about for day
and - balf, when he was picked up by q
small sailing vessel.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To remove tar from cloth, rub the
cloth well with turpentine.
Rubber should be carefully kept
away from oil, as oil softens and makes
it unfit for use.
Alcohol is good remedy for burns
if applied Immediately. Keep the burn
moist with it for two hours.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out
if the stain is first washed in strong
salt water and let it stand over night.
Meat should never be placed directly
on the ice, as its juices will be abb
sorbed; put it on a plate and set in a
cool place.
For bites and stings apply spirits Of
hartshorn, if you have it /; if not, make
poultice of fresh wood ashes, mois-
tened with water.
To remove berry stains from paper,
books, ETC., hold lighted birthstone
match close to them and the fumes re-
move the stains.
Never sun feather beds. Air them
thoroughly on windy day in cool
place. The sun draws the oil and
gives the feathers rancid smell.

ing the blood, for removing pimpIes

OYSTER SALAD.

Plump and ruf1e one and one-half
pints of small oysters, by stirring them
over hot fire for five minutes in a
fry-pan that has been previously
heated. Skim out and drain. Season
while warm with salt, white pepper,
one tablespoonful of oil, one of vine
gar and two of lemon juice, and place

serve, mix this with the oysters, and
the following dressing: Put the yolks
of two eggs into cold soup dish;
with fork break them slightly, and
add one-half teaspoonful of salt.
When light, add half teaspoonful of
dry mustaed, and beat again. As soon
as it thickens, add drop by drop gill
of salad oil, then half teaspoonful of
lemon juice, then five of oil Zone at a
time), one of vinegar, and SO continue
alternating lemon juice and vim
egar until another gill of oil has been
used. When ready to serve, mix one
half of the mayonnaise with the salad,
pour the remainder over the top, and
serve garnished with white celery
leaves. New York Observer.

CANNING TOMATOES.

The following recipe is given in
Good Housekeeping, as a reliable
method of canning the unreliable"
tomato: Wash the tomatoes and re-
move the stems. Have wide kettle
or agate basin of boiling water on the
stove, plunge in as much fruit as is
conveniently accommodated at one
time, and remove with long-handled
skinner as soon as the skins crack.
Dash cold water over the tomatoes and
they will almost pare themselves.
Slip off the skins and lay the fruit in
an earthen dish. When ready to fill
the jars, set one in milk pan and
slice the tomatoes into it. With a
wooden masher push down the fruit as
the jar fills and turn off the juice and
seeds which will rise to the top. Cook
ing will render the fruit quite juicy
enough, and this discarding of the
seeds and liquid part appears to be
necessary to success.
When all the jars are filed to with
in three inches of the tops, lay on the
covers and set the jars over the fire in
boiler of lukewarm water, placing q
rack or support of some sort beneath
them. A sufficient quantity to COM
plete filling the jars may be stewed in
an agate kettle, or one jar may be
emptied for that purpose. AS the
fruit rises in the jars in boiling, push
it down occasionally to release the air
bubbles from the interstices of the
fruit. Keep boiling for an hour. At
the end of that time lift the jars out on
to dry board, fill each till it runs
over, and seal Immediately with a new
rubber. Store in dark place.

Says the Century Magazine: The
United States sells its forest lands at
81. so an acre, lumber companies in
directly acquiring square mile land
for little over $500, while the timber
on it is often worth $4,000. The
French Government forests return an
average profit of 50. 50an acre annually
from timber sales, or two and half
per cent. interest on the value of the
land. The United States now owns
only enough forest land to provide
continual timber supply to its present
population, if forests are managed and
used as in Germany. The United
States is exactly in the position of a
man making large drafts on and using
up an immense idle. capital. which, il
properly invested, would return an in
terest sufficient for his expenditures.
In 1885 the Government of Bavaria
sent an expert forester to study the
timbers of the United States, who
stated: I'm fifty years you will have
to import your timber, and as you will
probably have preference for Ameri-
can kinds, we shall now begin to grow
them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time"

The Japanese Government is said to
have demanded that the Hawaiian
Government extend the voting fraa-
chise to Japanese on the islands, the
same as to Europeans and Americans.
In the opinion of the San Francisco
Chronicle ''the demand has no legal
backing, for every Nation has an alb
solute right to regulate the elective
franchise for itself, but if Japan shall
insist Hawaii will be powerless to re-
sist, unless she be backed up by some
strong Nation"

SUSPENDED PENSIONERS.
Seventy-five Per Cent. of Them May
BE Retained ON the Rolls.

Seventy-five Per Cent. of Them May
Be Retained ON the Rolls
The annual report OF the Commissioner Of
Pensions states that the Board Of Revision
is now disposing Of an average OF about 1900
cases per week of those suspended under the
recent orders of the bureau.
At this rate It was estimated that practi-
cally all OF those heretofore suspended would
be disposed OF by October 10. It Is also esti-
mated that at least seventy-hve per cent. OF
those suspended will be retained on the rolls,
though not all of them at their old rates OF
pensions.
The estimates for the year 1898 are given
as follows For pensions. $3.50, 200, 900: for
surgeons fees, so. 000. 900, for salaries OF
pension agents, $72. 1000; for clerk hire at
pension agencies, $500, 900 for contingent
expenses, $59,57O. Total, $162, ,631, $40.
The Commissioner enumerates the various
reforms entered upon, the abandonment OF
the completed files system, and the modifi-
cation of order 164 of October Is, 1890, as 10
disability pensions, etc. He says on this
latter point
ssIt is perfectly clear that under this order
164. in granting pensions under the Az Of
June 27, 1890, the act itself was set aside ana
sion not authorized by any law"
Precedence is NO longer given to cases
under the Act of June ~, 1890, but claims for
pensions under the prior Laws, for disabilities
Of service origin, are now aadjudicated in
their Order where the evidence Is complete.
50 far from holding bsck Sais class Of claims,
the Commissioner thtnkS they should have
precedence as being older and mora mex-
toyioue.

The series of official reports setting
forth the material and educational
progress of the country, recently is
sued by the Mexican Government,
though not marking SO great an adj
vance as expected, is still very encour--
aging. During the past twenty years,
the period covered by the comparisons,
the railway mileage has increased
twentyfold, ard the telegraph mileage
eightfold, followed in each case by
proportionate increase of business.
Exports and imports have largely in
creased, as have also manufactures and
agriculture, and the appropriations of
the Federal and State Governments
and municipalities for educational
purposes has advanced from 1,6O0,-
900 to SO, 500, 600. Peace and pros
perity have been secured, especially
during the Presidency of General
Diez, who holds the reins of Govern
ment with firm hand, and who is not
afraid to suppress the tendency to
revolutionary movement by the prompt
application of military force. The
country still suffers, however, from
the lack of esteem for productive in
dustry on the part of the upper classes,
whose chief ambition is to hold public
offices, initiating in this respect the
Argentines, and the absence of trained
habits of industry on the part of the
Indian and mixed races, which consti-
tute four-ffths of the population.
What is most needed is industrious i'm
migrants to develop the vast natural
resources of the Republic, q fact clear
ly perceived by the Government, which
has already permitted the establish
ment,of Morfnon colonies in Chihua-
hua and Sonora, and bid for immigra-
tion from northern Europe.

It is mentioned as an instance of
what the fashionable world has come
to that recent private concert given
in London cost the hostess $12, 800.
According to this figure entertaining
ones guests will soon be impossible,
and society must inaugurate some new
method of keeping it's end up in that
line. First-class artists over there ask
sums ranging from $1,000 to $25OO for
three or four songs, but, fortunately,
the number of these artists is limited,
and those who employ them are the
painfully rich.

The Boston Advertiser reports an in
creased demand at the office of the
Massachusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture for its descriptive catalogue of
abandoned farms. This fact taken
alone would furnish no indication that
purchases were contemplated, but, as
the Advertiser points out, there was
also during the hard times of 1878 a
noticeable increase in the demand for
farm lands, and reasoning from this
analogy it says: IF by any unfortu-
nate possibility the stringency of the
past few weeks were to be continued it
is very likely that the abandoned
farms would be bought up very large
IL. A not inconsiderable class of mill
operatives have saved up money, and
If there were any very real prospect
that the shutdown of some of the
Massachusetts, mills was to be long
continued, these operatives would go
to farming as a better thing than re-
manning idle in large city A num-

Kerosene oil is rapidly growing in
favor as cheap illuminant in China.
The consumption, which was s,256,
900 gallons in 1882, had risen to 49,
34S, 900 gallons in 1891. Of this
amount eighty per cent. was imported
from America and twenty per cent.
from Russia. The illuminant before
kerosene was introduced was bean or
tea oil. The Chinese have discovered,
however, that kerosene is cheaper and
gives much better light. It is called
fire oil by them.

The DEMOCRAT is ever ready to lend it's aid to any enterprise that has for it's object the elevation of our people. Among such enterprises none can stand higher than a school. And it is with pleasure that we call attention of our readers to the Dover school, pleasant ly situated at the historic old town of Dover. The Principal and Primary teacher were educated at one of the fore most schools of our State and have been at Dover two years. While Prof. Turn CT is well known over the county as a teacher of experience and ability. The course of study embraces all of the stud ies that are tanght in most of the high schools of the State. This school will fill long felt want in our county by furnishing to every boy and girl the op- portunity of securing an education either for the practical affairs of life or preparing for college-at the least pos sible expense.
