New YOrk's Butter Supply.

Commissioner Schraub, of the State
Department of Agriculture, has col
lected, compiled and issued in pamphlet
form statistics showing the production
of the butter and cheese factories in
this State for the season of 1892. The
summary gives in detail the amount
manufactured in each city, town and
village of the State, and is the first in
formation ever collected by State
department which shows the amount
and locality of these productions.
The statistics show that in twelve of
the counties of the State-Greene,
Hamilton, Kings, New York, Putnam,
Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Seneca,
Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester- there
is no butter or cheese manufactured in
factories. In the remaining forty
eight counties, the whole amount of
butter and cheese made in factories
during the season of 1892 was rs fol-

THE STARS.


What nrc their years2 The nights unfath-
omed deep
Rings back no answer gives no glimmer-
ing key;
And still unknown and beautiful they keep
The silent courses of eternity.
What are their memories OF creations days,
When startled CHAOS, from the kingdom
hurled,
First knew its master, and with glad amaze
They sang the birth song of our trembling
world?
What eyes they looked on.sinee with patient
eye,
While million years uncountel rolled
away
Who claims antiquity of man that dies
Before such records OF the past as they
Can they to man the mystery explain,
The why, the whence, of his uncertain
state?
Unlock the riddle that he reads in vain
And clear the tangled problem of his fate'
Can they fashion to the future give
And tell the whittier OF mans anxious
quest?
Make life n less than WEAKNESS to live.
Or stay the hazard OF his wild unrest2
Oh, stars What midnight message do you
bear
To minds grown weary with the years in-
crease?
The wistful eyes that watch you shining
there
Look out of troubled hearts that know not
peace.

TO PREPARE CORN.

OF all the vegetables corn is the
most universally welcomed. Here are
n few recipes showing the different
ways it may be prepared:
Green Corn Fritters-Cut through
each row of kernels with sharp knife.
Then with the back of the knife press
out the pulp and leave the hull on the
cob. This is better and easier than to
shave or CRATE off the kernels. To one
pint of corn pulp add two well-beaten
eggs, half a teaspoonful of salt, half n
saltspoonful of pepper and two table
spoonfuls of flour, or just enough to
keep the corn and egg together, Do
not add milk, as then more flour will
be required, and this destroys the
aavor of the corn. Fry in small cakes
on buttered griddle and brown well
ON each side, or add more flour and
drop by spoonfuls into deep fat. When
highly seasoned with salt and pepper
these fritters have the flavor of oys-
ters.
Boiled Green Corn-Choose young
sugar-corn, full grown, but not hard !;
test with the nail When the grain is
pierced the milk should escape i'll n
Jet and not be thick. Clean by strip
ping off the outer leaves, turn back
the innermost covering carefully, pick
off every thread of silk and recover
the ear with the thin husk that grew
nearest it. Tie Mt the top with bit
of thread, put into boiling water salted
and cook fast from twenty minutes to
half an hour, in proportion to size and
age. Cut off the stalks close to the
cob and send whole to the table
wrapped in n napkin.
Corn Soup-Take one large fowl, or
four pounds of veal (the knuckles or
neck will do) put over the fire in one
gallon of cold water, without salt
cover tightly and simmer slowly until
the meat will slip from the bones, not
allowing it to boil all the strength out
as the meat can be made into u nice
dish for breakfast by reserving a cup
full of the liquor to put with it in a
mince on toast, or stew. Strain the
soup to remove all bones and bits of
meat Crate one dozen ears OF green
corn, scraping cobs to remove the
heart of the kernel. Add corn to the
soup, with salt, pepper and little
parsley, and simmer slowly half an
hour. Just before serving add table,
spoonful of -four, beaten very thor
oughly with tablespoonful of butter.
Serve very hot.
Corn and Tomatoes equal
quantities of green corn cut from the
cob and tomatoes sliced and peeled.
Stew together half an hour, season
with pepper, salt and very little
sugar. Stew fifteen minutes longer
and stir in a great lump of butter.
Five minutes later pour out and serve.
Succotash-This may be made by
mixing equal quantities of shelled
beans and corn cut from the cob, hav-
ing first cooked them separately. Or
cut the raw corn from the cob, by
scoring each row and pressing the pulp
out with the back of the knife. leaving
the hulls on the cob, and when the
beans are nearly soft add the corn and
cook fifteen minutes. Add cream,
butter, salt and sugar to taste. New

The seeming strange suggestion is
made and strongly pressed in England
that the men who man the navy should
be taught how to swim. Ordinary
sailors are instructed and expected to
qualify in swimming, but the marines,
iiremen and engineers are not, and il
is fact, declares the New York Sun.
that large portion of the latter large
body of men who serve on war ships
cannot swim. 1t is said that many
more men would have been saved from
the Victoria but for shis fact; also
that many sailors who we're good
swimmers were undoubtedly dragged
down by the men who were not. The
matter has been taken mp in Parlia-
ment, and it is probable that swim
ming will be insisted on as a part of
the training of every man serving
Nboard ship.

over these figures They know that
they will have to advance rates, but
they dread the opposition of the peo.
pic and the newspapers. 'It is very
serious problem-this matter of fire
waste, observes the Atlanta Constitu-
tion. "ln the past seventeen years
nearly seventeen hundred million dol
lars worth of property has been re-
duced to ashes. Georgia's loss for this
period foots up over $32, 200, 900.
Now, what are we going to do about
it? At one time it was thought that
incendiarism cut big figure in all
these losses, but it is now agreed that
the main cause is to be found in the
notorious fact that there is a craze for
cheap and hastily constructed build
ings, with defective fues and other
drawbacks increasing the risk of fire.
The way to counteract this evil in
cities and towns is to have rigid sys-
tenn of inspection that will prevent
the erection of such dangerous build
ings. Out in the country it will be a
matter largely under the control of

A resident of Fort Scott, Kan, who
was passenger on n train that was
recently stopped and pillaged by rob
bers, has written letter to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railroad
managers suggesting means for put
ting stop to the work of desperadoes
on the railroads. After observing TINT
the robbers were not only poorly or
ganized, but seemed very apprehen-
slve of the results of their crime to
themselves, those guarding the pas
senger cars continually calling out TO
their companions in the express car
to hasten matters, the writer saws: ''NIy
observation lends me to the concIu-
sion that if your company will run
twenty -fourinch strip of boiler iron
around the bodies just below the win.

Wlnchesters i'll each car Just above the

say 5000 or $500 n piece for 'Eresi,

see the meekness and apathy of the
ordinary to-be-robbed passenger dis
appear, and the American public will
take care not only of ITSELF but of any
stray robbers caught in the act alone
the line of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas" Another device to prevent
the success Of train robbers has been
invented by the Western Passenger
Agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Road at st. Louis. His plan is very
simple and provides for equipping
every safe With two locks which inter
lock with each other, and a notice
pasted on the outside of the safe for
the especial benefit of the robber.
The locks, for convenience of descrip-
tion, are called 'Lock No. l" and
"Lock No. - and the notice reads as
follows: "Notice. In case of assault
by robbers, throw the combination of
lock No. ,. This sefe can then be
opened only by the. agent at the ter
minal station. The messenger knows
the combination of lock No or has
key to unlock it, but he does not know
the combination of lock No. ., and if
he once throws off the combinotio, or
lock No. 2, it is utterly impossible for
him to unlock and open the safe, and
the painted notice on the safe door
will apprise the train robbers of tas
fact At the first intimation of trou-
BILE the messenger S orders will require
that he ut once throw off the combine
tion of lock No. ., when the safe is at
once locked, not only against the rob
hora, but ngainst the messenger and
every one except the agent at tho enl

the New York Post predicts Russian

TESTED RECEIPT FOR LEMON PIE.

A tested receipt for lemon pie that
is delicious calls for four eggs, small
tablespoonful of cornstarch, two lem
ons and half teaspoonful of baking
powder. Set aside the whites of two
of the eggs for the meringue of the
pie, and beat the whites of the other
two to dry froth. Beat all the
yolks with the sugar, and when light,
add the dry cornstarch. Mix until
perfectly smooth, then add the juice
of the lemons, and the grated yellow
rind of one. Melt the butter and add
that; then stir in the baking powder
as rapidly as possible, turn into
pastry shell that has been previously
baked. Make the meringue in the
usual way.
A lemon filling for pies that is more
economical and not as rich, is made in
this way Add cupful of granulated
sugar to the yolks of three eggs and
beat the mixture until light, then add
the Juice and rind of large lemon.
To two small tablespoonfuls of -four
add little cold water. When free
from Jumps, add half cupful of hot
water and make n smooth paste. Mix
this with the other part of the filling,
and bake in crust that has been pre-
viously baked. Such crusts should
not be allowed to brown in the first
baking. New York Post.

purposes or for impaired digestion or
to kill dogs, these being among the
various uses to which the drug is put,
is matter of conjecture. The impor-

The Greatest Ever Known in That City,
The Jail Fire.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 14.-The damage
done by last nights storm is greater
than has been done here in many years.
Along the water front the tide rose to
the level OF the whsrves, overhowed into
the streets, the cellars of commission
merchants and places occupied by oyster
packers, and completely destroyed
stocks to the amount of almost 81 ,000,-
600. The oyster boats were badly dam
aged. The destruction to property all
through the city is large.
After the burning OF the electric light
works aud the flames were communi-
Gated to the Jail as reported last night,
a panic ensued among the prisoners who
were locked in celia. As quickly as possi-
BILE the cells were thrown open, but not
before many inmates were nearly suffo-
Gated by the sitting smoke. Many of
them in fright plugged headlong frsm the
upper corridors to the stone floors be-
meath, breaking arms and legs and in
hicting other injuriss. Thirty OF them
were go badly injured that it was neces-
sary to remove them to the hospitals,
and one, Charles Dunn, q colored man,
died from fractured skull.

The Church ca Furnish a Solution to
the labor Problem.
CHICAGO, Oct. l4,-At the interna-
tI8aal meeting Of the 4 Evangelical Ali
ance to-day, Rsv. Dickinson Of b srkeiey
temple, Boston, spoke on the Institu-
tional of the Church, which, he said,
aimed TO presens Christ physicslly,
morally and spiritually to the people
wha live in the present age.
Rev. Richard T. Ely OF the university
oil Wisconsin read paper on the Church
and the Labor Movement, in which he
was most emphatic in insistng upon the
church as the final solution OF the labor
problem. He eaid "What do we want
in the labor movement but life ? More
life? What are the abuses of which we
complain but the deprivation of life,
the cutting down and narrowing OF the
sphere Of lifeo II the labor movement
in its purpose 10 finally successful, it
must involve the question, in theory and
practice, of 3 lofty ethical system"
One OF the most powerful addresses
was that OF President Gates of Grinnell
university. He said:
"One can already see the forces array.
ing themselves for and against the COM
mon liberty. Against it in the indus
trial world is the capitalist clase, which
nays: The workman shall not be my
brother. | will hire him or not aa |
please. My property is my own to do
with as please saying which he is q
blnsphemer and liar. His property is
not his own, but to use in service for his
fellow man. Unless capital obey the
law of God and man and lay down it's
life in service in order to save it's life,
then it will perish from the fsoe of the
earth. Likewise against the coming
unity in the industrial world is the
workman who, folding his arms in his
pride, says; 1 will not call my en-
ployer brother; my strength and my
skill are my own to use or not as I
please saying which ne too blasphemes
and lies. He has no strength or skill
that is his own except he use it in eerv-
ice to his fellow men, else it too will
miserably perish"
Among the other speakers present
were President Dodge. Secretary Strong
and Rev. Floyd Tompkins.
