ELKTON. MARCH II, 1898.
OFFICE FEVER.

The restoration of the Democratic
party to power, followed as it doubtless
will be by an unprecedented
Scramble" for office, renders extremely
timely the comments of one of our
exchanges upon the demoralizing effect
of office seeking, particularly in the
case of young men.
There is nothing that SO completely
knocks the manhood and independence
out Of man as an inordinate desire
for office. Just as soon as young
man gets the "ofice fever" he begins
to truckle to party bosses and to talk
himself hoasse il. assuring his "lnhuen.
tlaP' party friends that he has always
voted the party ticket straight, and by
all the powers that be he swears that in
the future, as in the past, he will
support the nominee of the party
regardless of bis character. When
man reaches a point where, for the
sake of hoped for political "plums,"
he is wiling to sink his own individu-
atty, surrender his independence and
servilely perform henchmen duty for
political manipulators and spoils dis
tributors-when man reaches such a
point. he is prepared to do some very
ridiculous things and to make himself
contemplate in the sight even OF
partisans, and especially of all sensible
people.
True enough, somebody must per-
form public duty but if a man is
specially qualified for the du.;ccs of
public office, the peerite will find it
out,napa IS better to be called to
pt;uDiic duty than to seek it to the
extent of being willing to sacrifice man
hood on the altar OF partyism and to
fall PROSTATE at the feet of those dema.
gogues who WELD the party lash for the
sake of s'spoils" and not for the pur-
pose of conserving the highest interests
of the people at large.
Many public men who have drunk
deep OF the waters OF political perfer-
ment, at the close of what IS called a
successful career, pronounce 1t all
vanity and warn the young man to
keep out of politics. Public life is un-
satisfactory. 1t is unfavorable TO the
development of the higher and nobler
faculties of the mind. 1t robs its
victim of many of the sweets of
domestic life, while the bleak winds OF
adverse criticism and impugned motives
and the gathering clouds of uncertain
tenure render the life OF even the
most successful devoid of that satisfac-
ton which may be the lot of every man
who makes the best of his opportunities
and seeks to improve the condition of
his fellow men.
Young man, educate yourself well
be prepared to take front rank in your
chosen calling be patriot and guard
and protect the best interests of your
country by pen, by voice and by your
ballot; but if you want to live happy
life, close your ears to the syren voice
of political ambition, and seek happi,
ness rather in the confidence of your
fellowmen, in the quiet retreats OF a
happy home, and the consciousness of
having made the world better by your
presence in it.

EGG GRAHAM GEMS.
To two cups of cold milk and water,
mixed in equal proportions, add the
beaten yolks OF two eggs, stir in two cups
of graham -four, with which a teaspoon
full of sugar and half teaspoonful of salt
have been mixed, then add the whites Of
the eggs beaten stiff. Beat well, pour
into CREASED gem pans and bake half an
hour or until brown.
AS TO BAKING HEAT.
Muffin rings can be used for bakin e
Graham gems, but heavy iron gem pans
are much better than either muffin rings
or tin pans for baking all kinds of gems,
mullins, puffs or pop overs, as they retain
the heat better than tin will.
1t is very important in making Graham
gems to have the pans quite hot when the
mixture is put into them,- and also to
have the greatest heat at the bottom of the
pans when they go in the oven SO the
gems may rise to their fullest capacity be-
fore they get brown on the top. 1t is adj
vIsable to set the pan on the top of the
stove before putting in the oven, that the
bottom may become thoroughly heated

GRAHAM DIAMONDS.
Some people are very fond of graham
cakes or crackers, generally called "gra-
ham diamonds" on account of their
shape. They are made in this manner:
Add a teaspoonful each of granulated
sugar and salt to a quart of graham flour.
Pour boiling water upon it until thor
oughly scalded. Work into soft dough
and roll out until about half an inch in
thickness. Then with sharp knife cut
into diamonds or squares, place in a bak-
ing pan and bake in hot oven half an
hour or until well done and crisp.
