A Graceful Act,
Chicago Post.

ChcaEo Post.
Mr.. Harrison proposes to close his
career in the White house with an act
of graceful hospitality entirely in
keeping with the dignity and perfect
good humor that characterized his
contest with Mr.. Cleveland last fall.
He has invited Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve-
land to dinner Friday night, and thus
he will soften the rudeness with
which our custom invests the tumb-
ling out of one president and the
rushing of another into office
1t is all the more pleasant because
it has never been done before and it
marks new turn in our manner of
displaying political antagonisms.
Let the ward heelers, irreconcilables
and the unreasoning mobs on both
sides carry party differences to the
extreme of personal hatred if they
wish, but two men, both honest and
both great enough to fill the presi-
dents chair properly, should be
above this yulgarity of partnership.
We have no doubt that the dinner
will be enjoyable, and that when the
President-elect pledges Mr.. Harrison
and the retiring president pledges
MIR. Cleveland, the exchange of com
pliments will be heartily seconded by
the whole mass of rational citizens of
both parties.
Mr.. Harrison, your very GOOD
health; Mr.. Cleveland's 'ere's to YOU!

SPRINGFIELD Register: Carter
Henry Harrison swept the mayoralty
platter at the Chicago democratic
primaries. The old man made a
courageous fight against great odds
and his eyes Qs) will naturally be
bigger and more numerous than
ever. The Chicago Herald, Globe,
Dispatch, Staatz Zeitung and about
all the other papers fercely fought
Harrison, and his own Times was his
only newspaper organ; but he won,
and the Times will have q right to
brag, while the other democratic pa.
pers will have to take their crow and
sing low. The State Register has had
little use for Harrison, politically,
since he led the boilers in 1891, and
thus defeated the regular democratic
nominee for mayor, but it admires
the grit, courage, pluck and mex
haustible energy he displayed in his
fight for the mayoralty nomination
this year, and extends congratula-
tiOns.

RUSK ADVISES We GRANGER.
In the Matter of Feeding Corn TO Hogs
1t Will Pay He Says.

II w III says.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Secretary Rusk
says that farmers in all parts of the
country are inquiring as to the probable
profit of feeding corn to hogs at present
prices. He desires to state that the pros
pect of large returns from judicious hog
feeding has seldom been as bright as now.
In average years it takes about nine
pounds of hog, live weight, to bring
the price of a bushel of corn. This year
five pounds of hog brings as much as a
bushel of corn. If ten pounds of pork are
made from bushel of corn, which may be
taken as fair return, then the present
prices of hogs would make corn bring
about s. cents bushel if fed to these ami
mails, which is about twice as much as it
is now quoted at on the Chicago market.
Should Make Their Hogs Fat.
Instead OF sending pigs and half fat hogs
to narket-as thousands have only to find
that such animals were unfit for packing
and would bring but a comparatively
small price-these animals should be kept
on the farm and fattened on the corn which
! Is now so cheap in comparison with present
prices of pork. The high price of hogs is
largely due TO the meat inspection carried
| on by the department Of agriculture which
opened the markets of Europe and enabled
| shippers TO send the surplus hog products
| out of the country. Following this came
| a shortage in the hog crop. The number
| of hogs packed this winter is not only less
| than it has been previously, but the hogs
were lighter in weight, so that there has
| been a much smaller quantity of hog
products prepared.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Secretary Foster
told the ways and means committee Satur-
day what he knew about the treasury
finances. He was clear in stating his be-
lief that the situation at present did not
cad for any issue of bonds to stop the gold
drsin, as there YVES about Si04. .eo0. 900 in
GOLD in the treasury. While be could not
anticipate whether there would be any

point where it would lie necessary to choose
between using some of the Sl00, ,000. 600 and
issuing5bonds

plus would have to he scaled down. He

change in the situation, there would be

The greatest novelty in cooking ap-
| alliances ut the fair is un~qucstiOnably
the APPARATUS for cooking by electricity,
shown in operation in the gallery of the
electricity building. The electric cur
rent is conducted into plates Of enamel,
where ii meets with resistance ana Is
converted into heat. These plates are
attached 10 specially constructed ovens,
broilers, griddles, tlatirOnS, etc. An or
binary stewpan. coffee or tea pot, or
steam cooker may be- heated on the
disk heater" An outfit Of articles nee
essary for a private house costs $50, or
ST7.J0 if Il heater for Il Kitchen boiler
is included. Electricity has the same
advantages over coal that gas has; its
advantages over gas depend upon the
fact that combustion, with its needs
and limitations, Is wholly done away
with. There are no products OF com
plete or accidentally imperfect combuS-
ton. there is not even Il slight loss or
heat into the room or up the fue. The
strongest points of electrical cooking
are comfort and convenience, but claims
are made for il also on the score of
economy. IL is said that the cost or
cooking by electricity is less than the
cost with coal and about the same as
where fuel-gaS is used. This is on the
supposition that the electricity Is fur
nished ut half the price charged for
lighting.-FrUm Household Arts at the
