You can't break a farmer against
his will. If he will only raise a
few hogs, and corn, oats and wheat
enough to do him, have his own
milk and butter and a few chick
ems and eggs, he can live and enjoy
life whether he makes one bale of
cotton or 100 bales. But the beau
ty of it is he can raise all these

The remedy is to reduce the
acreage of cotton and to devote
more land to the raising of food
crops. Plant your cotton only on
land that produces the best crop
The curtailed cotton acreage
should come from the land that
produces only quarter of bale
an acre, or less. Buy the best seed
pillow up your best fields, secure
the best labOr-saving implements,
cultivate with great care, prepare
your cotton for market with the

The Waco News went mad at the
beginning of the recent guberna-
torial campaign and has never re-
covered its sanity. 1t is still keep
ing up the howl about the compact
of the Clark faction with Quincy
and the cOonS. The news would
be a tirst-claSS newspaper if it
would only run plate matter on its
editorial page.
Galveston Tribune:
\ recent number of the Austin
Statesman contains long editorial
on "Mr. LincOln'S Religion" If the
Statesman were as well posted on
practical business topics as on re-
ligiOus ones and gave the interests
of its readers preference by discus
sing the former it would not now
be existing principally on chame-
leon food by dam site.
Dallas Times Herald:
This talk about nOn-partisan
politics is like prohibition that
doesn't prohibit. Anything which
relates to government is politics ;
that which relates to commerce
and trade is business. The best
judgment of community should
prevail in its government. Political
parties are organized to ascertain
what the Judgment and interests
of the people prompts or demands.
The Democratic party has nothing
to buy and nothing to sell in this
campaign. Honest and economic
government is its one purpose.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced In the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

JELLIED APPLES.

Jellied apples make very good
sweet dish, when other sweets fail.
Select a dozen sound, well-favored
yellow pippins. Pare them; take out
the cores and lay in cold water the
minute you get through with them to
prevent their turning dark. Take the
cores and parings and half dozen
more apples sliced rather thin; put
them in saucepan and cover with
one quart of cold water. Simmer
thirty minutes, stir, and then drain
through jelly bag. To every pint Of
liquid that you get add pound of
loaf sugar, set over the fire, and as
soon as the sugar is dissolved add the
quartered apples. Cover, and cook
slowly until the apples are tender. Do
not let them get SO soft that they lose
their shape, or the dish, in looks at
least, will be failure. Take out the
pieces on a skinner, one at a time,
and lay them on plate. Boil the
syrup twenty minutes, and when lit
tie of it cooled jellies, take it fro.l the
fire. Put the apples in bowls or wide
mouthed jars, and turn the jelly over
them. When cold tie up as you do any
preserves or New York Post.

THAT GELATINE.

To dissolve gelatine is not SO easy O
matter as some cooks suppose. If the
gelatine is covered with water and
placed on the hearth or on the back
of the stove it will melt in fifteen or
twenty minutes; but in nine cases out
of ten it will be strong favored and
will spoil whatever it is added to-
This is the reason that gelatine is not
fully appreciated by many housekeep-
ers.
If the gelatine be soaked in cold
water for two or more hours, and then
have boiling water or milk poured on
it, it will dissolve Immediately, and
rarely will have taste or odor. Here
is a good rule to follow
Put box of gelatine in bowl, and
pour over it half pint of cold water.
Cover it and let it stand for two hours
or more. When ready to use it, add
half pint of boiling water OF the
same quantity of boiling milk. Stir
for few minutes, and the gelatine
will be dissolved. New York World.

A Society Man.

A single man who proposes to re
main unmarried should never show
any attention more than he can de.
Gently avoid to widows. 1t is per-
fectly safe to associate with young la.
dies; no man who has been much in
society will lose his head with them,
or his heart either, to any serious ex.
tent, and if the worst comes and he
finds himself on the brink of matri-
mony before he knows it, all he has
to do is to run away. But it is diff.
ferent with widows A man will
lose head and heart together when a
widow is In the case before he knows
that there is anything the matter
with him, and she will have him Sc
curely married, as tight rs the
preacher can do the job, in. spite OF
all manner Of celibate resolutions.
Nor is there any such thing as run
ming away from her. 1t is easier for
a train robber to escape from all the
police in the country than for a rec.
reant lover to battle widow deter.
mined on matrimOny. She will fol-
low him to the end Of the earth il
necessary, and marry him or have
him Jailed.

Health of WOrkmen at High Sum.
mItS.

Some noticeable facts are furnished
by the experience of the wOrkmen
engaged in constructing the new Gen.
trail Railway over the mountains IN
Peru. The line starts at Lima, in
altitude twelve degrees, and the sum.
NIT tunnel of this line at Galeria is
at the height of -, 645 feet. 1t ap-
pears that the wOrkmen, up TO the
height of 800 to 10, 900 feet do about
the same relative quantity of work
as at the sea level, provided they
have been Injured TO the height or
brought up in the country; at II, 600
feet the amount OF work deterjOrates,
and at IA, 900 to 16, 600 feet full
third had to be deducted from the
amount that the same men could per-
form at sea level. Owing to the alb
sence of malaria the percentage of
efficient labor at the greatest eleva-
tion has been very high one. Men
coming from the coast were not found
capable Of doing efficient work for
about two weeks on an average when
taken to high elevations, the ca
pacity gradually increasing and reach
ing its maximum in few weeks or
months, according to the constitution
of the individual. The majority Of
the laborers being CholoS, or Indians
born in the Sierra, were found in.
capable of doing effective work on
the coasts or in the warmer attitudes
without a long course of acclimatiza-
tion. Sudden changes, too, from the
Sierra TO attitudes of from 1000 to
5. 900 feet have resulted in sickness
and fever

A Sailors Superstition.

"Reading the Legends and Super
stitions, by w. Sevorg, recalled Il
my mind" says a writer in country
contemporary IA superstition still
held by most middle aged Sailors
mean their antipathY to having
rabbit on board during a voyage.
remember once having the whole
crew about my ears because / had got
a bunny on board We were on our
passage from Sulina to Antwerp, and
we called at Malta for Goals. Having
an hour or so to spare, | went on
Shore and during my walk / bought
a large rabbit tor one of my boys.
l took it on board, and gave 1t to one
OF the tiremen TO take care OF, and he
made a hutch for it in one Of the
empty bunkers.
NOW none of the sailors knew
about it then, for you must know
there is not much love lost between
the sailors and tiremen on a steamer.
'Hitherto however we had had ex.
ceptiOnally fine weather. But an
hour or so after leaving Malta it came
on to blow very heavily, and a strong
sea got up for few days. / noticed
the men looking askance at me very
much. At last it came out; the sail
Ors had found out that there was a
rabbit on board, and that it belonged
to ME.
II argued with them, but to no
avail. | pointed out another steamer
that was making worse weather than
we we're l asked them if they could
tell me for certain that she had
rabbit on board.
THAT was not it, they said. One
of them had been wrecked three
times, another twice; one had been
run into and ost everything; and in
these cases there had always been a
rabbit on board the vessel.

one eye, and at the men with the

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For bread and pastry have an over
that will in five minutes turn a piece
of paper dark brown.
Butter put into clean pots and vel
surrounded with charcoal will keep
good for twelve months.
In baking bread or rolls put q
saucepan of boiling water into the
oven. The steam will keep the crust
smooth and tender.
Much of the heavy cake and bread
is the result of the oven door being
banged when closed. Close the door
as gently as possible Nearly every one
opens it gently enough.
For frying alwaysputa pound or two
of fat in the pan. There is no waste, as
the same fat can be used over and over
by pouring it thorugh straiher into
crock kept for the purpose.
To remove claret stains from table
cloth put salt on Immediately and
thickly over the spot. Rinse in cold
water before washing. If not entirely
removed apply lemon juice and dry in
the sun.
A little kerosene oil in the water
with which you clean your windows
makes them take q much higher polish
and makes much easier work of that
bane of housekeeper's life, window
cleaning.
Never buy stale fish. 1t will look
dabby and dark and will have an I'M
pleasant odor. Fresh fish is firm, the
eyes are full and rather bright, and
the odor, while it is always fshy, will
not be disagreeable.
Those in search of novel luncheon
dainties should try the peanut sand
wich, which had its origin in Boston.
Be sure the peanuts are freshly roast
ed. Chop fine and spread between
slices of butte:ed bread cut very thin.
Tomake garlic vinegar pure and slice
II dozen cloves of garlic, put them in
a preserving jar with one pint OF
vinegar, cover and set away for two
weeks, then strain into bottle. One
tablespoonful of this vinegar added
to Potato salad gives it delicate fla
vor of garlic.
Lace pillows and spreads can be
dried to advantage after washing by
putting down sheet on the floor and
pinning each scallop firmly and Sc
curely to the sheet SO that all sides are
secured. Leave it over night, and
when dry take up carefully and fold
ready for use.
To cure a sty take the white of an
egg in a saucer and rub into it a small
pinch of powdered alum. 1t will be-
come curd. Put it between two fine
pieces of muslin and bind it over the
eye before retiring for the night. In
the morning the sty will be gone, or
much better One more application
will be sufficient, and no more sites
will come.
One of the things commonly done
wrong is the mixing of flour and q
liquid when a thin batter of paste is
desired. Here is rule that, if fol-
lowed, will always make the mixture
smooth and free of Jumps. Measure
the -four and add to it IN equal measure
Of liquid. Stir together until smooth, |
then gradually add a part of the liquid |
until the mixture is thin enough. In
making q thickening for soups or sauces
here should be four or five times as
much LIQUID as there is flour.
