An Eventful Birthday.

On one particular birthday morning Ned
felt very jubilant, for his presents con-
sisted Of an airgun, candy. rubber, boots, a
bean shooter, a whip, a toy boat, football
and some very gay hued horse reins with
jingling bells all over them.

waded in the brook with those boots (Which
papa had thought would be useful ing to
school on rainy days. until he walked on a
sharp stone and cut a big Jagged hole in the
toe of one. of them. The water ran in, of
course, and wet his shoe and stocking. He
abandoned the boots on the shore.
Just before lunchtime when playing
football by himself in q field the ball went
down a hole, and Ned went after it. r.
that ended Ned's fun. He no soo.er
stepped out when there was a buzzing sound,
and out flew, as he afterward told his
mother, lust LOCO, 600 bees and hornets"
When a few minutes later was ad-
ministering cold cream and q lecture, he
said:

draft gunboats of 1900 tons displace-
ment, the cost to be limited, exclu-
sive of armament and speed premi-
ums, to $400, 900 each. The boats
are to be designated as gunboats 7,
8 and 9 respectively. No. Z is a
flush deck, schooner rugged, steel

bottom and close water-tlght sub
divisions at the water-line. The
length on the load water line, nor
NAL displacement, is to be 220 feet
and maximum breadth, nodded, 36
feet. She will be required to main
tain an average speed of fourteen
knots for four consecutive hours.
Gunboats 8 and 8 are designed for

The health of birds depends large
ly on what they eat, after the mat
ter of cleanliness, draughts and sun
shine has been settled. Feed them,
as nearly as possible, what they
would eat if free, and remember that
what is food for one species is poison
for another. Every cage should
contain gravel, cuttle-bone and
crystal salt.
A canary should never be fed on
hemp seed. Feed vegetables and
fruit judiciously, but avoid sugar
and sweetmeats. Don't neglect to
provide the daily bath, having it
lukewarm in cold weather. During
severe cold spell it might be
omitted; don't let the little creature
suffer for the want of clean water to
drink.
For winter, fill one sunny window
with plants and hang the bird near
that it may enjoy bit of summer,
even though the tempest rage out
side.
One more remember. The upper
part of every room is much warmer
than the part we inhabit How
often we stand on table or chair to
arrange some picture and come down
painting: 81 had no idea it was so
hot up there" Remember this when
you swing your bird cage.

FREEZING BUTTER.
Ii EQualizes the Product through the Year
and Gives u Better Price.

and Gives Better Price.
The freezing of butter is one of the
new departures in the butter busi-
ness and there does not seem to be
any question or difference of opinion
as to its being an unqualified success
This methold has now been so
throughly tested that it is no longer
an experiment but an assured fact
Butter held at n freezing tempera-
ture produced by mechanical process
has retained to remarkable and
surprising degree the flavor and CON
dition of the season in which it was
made. To such an extent do the
goods retain this flavor and appear
ance that large portion of the
goods held in this way is consumed
with the belief that the butter is
fresh made.
The result of the general use of
this method of holding butter must
cause quite a change in the dairy
business as the goods that are held
will compete with the fresh fall and
winter made goods. On the other
hand, it will advance the price of
butter during May, June and July,
when the quality of the make is at
its best and in demand for storage,
as good profits can be made by hold
ing. Creameries are not always in
position to secure this advantage us
tho patrons are desirous of their
money promptly and do not care to
have their butter held.
In order to overcome this objection
we arrange with creameries making
a good grade of butter, to advance
them a large proportion of the value
of the butter and hold their goods,
selling them at the proper time, for
which we make a reasonable charge.
The cost for holding six months, in
cluding every expense, did not av-
erage over two and half cents per
pound, and for shorter time a pro.
portionately less amount. 1t would
seem that it would be better to have
the creamery have the advantage of
the advance rather than the specu.

The McC reary Bili.

The House at Washington Oct. 10
passed the McCreary bill with the
amendments offered by Geary and
Caminetti. The bill as passed ex-
tends the registration provisions of
the Geary law six months, defines
Chinese laborers and Chinese mer-
chants, makes mandatory photo
graphic Identification, requires Mar
shals to carry out orders for depor-
tation and for jailing Cinnamon
without bail pending the execution
of deportation writs, and excludes
Cinnamon convicted of felony from
the right to register. Geary de-
clares that the bill as passed will be
perfectly satisfactory to the coast,
and says that if it is enforced at the
expiration of the time limit it will
settle the Chinese problem. Those
who depart will not be able to trans
fer their registration certificates,
and in the course of time they will
disappear from American shores.
The administration is also satisfied
with the bill, so Chairman McCreary

Worth Knowing.

When pair of new boots has been
wet if you want to spoil them set
them near the stove and dry quickly,
then put on a lavish coat of liquid
drc rcssing. In this way whatever oil
there is in the leather will be dried
out and the fibres warped and
cracked. The better way is to dry
slowly, then brush all the mud from
the leather and rub vaseline in with
small woolen rag. This softens
the leather and the boots will not be
the worse for the wear. The yellow
vaseline costs but five cents bottle.
Never apply dressing to shoes OF
any kind until it is impossible to
renovate them in any other way.

The Union Pacific Railway.

The resolution passed by the
House relating to a receivership for
the Union Pacific Railway, and call
ing upon the Attorney. General to
inform the House as to what legisla-
tion, if any, is necessary in order to
secure the Indebtedness of that COM
pany to the Government, may result
in some important developments in
the relations between that company
and the Government.
The relations between the Govern
ment and company were materially
altered when the road went into the
hands of receiver; not SO much
from legal standpoint as by the
Thurman act, through which the
Government obtained lien on all
the properties of the company.
But the insolvency of the company
renders it impossible for it to dis
charge its obligations to the Govern
ment when they mature. 1t gives
the receivers under the common law
power to convert it's assets into cash
and empowers them to issue receiv-
ers' certificates to operate the road.
Then these would constitute a lien
paramount to that of the United
States. Some bonds mature in 1895
and if matters with the road go
badly under the receivership the re-
suit might be to throw the Govern
ments claim and all other liens into
the court with the inevitable effect
of great loss to the Government s
interest.

THE SWIFT POTATO.
Made Into u Pie, Fried. Escalloped In a
Deep Dish.

Ordinarily the sweet potato is
either roasted or boiled When il is
recooked, it is generally fried; but
there are several other ways of pre-
pairing it, according to the New
York Tribune A method that is
almost unknown at the North is to
fry the raw potato in hot fat. For
this purpose the potato should be
peeled and cut in thin length wise
slices, and laid in broad spider of
hot lard, deep enough to immerse
the slices. AS they brown on one
side and rise to the top, turn them
and let them brown on the other, as
the under side of an article immersed
in boiling fat browns before the
upper side.
A nice way to prepare cold boiled
sweet potatoes is to escallop them.
Slice them in thin circles, sprinkle
them with salt and pepper, and put
them in a shallow dish which has
been well buttered. Moisten the
potatoes with little brown stock or
gravy, thinned with water, and add
a few bits of butter. Continue till
the dish is full. Then set it in a
very hot oven for ten or fifteen min
utes to brown Few Northern
housewives are acquainted with the
sweet potato pie Of the South. This
is made of dry, mealy potatoes, which
are rubbed through sieve in the
same way as pumpkin. To two cups
of the strained potato add a pint of
milk, two eggs, a saltspoon of salt,
half teaspoon of nutmeg, a tea
spoonful Of cinnamon, with sugar
enough to sweeten the pie. The
amount will depend largely upon the
sweetness of the potatoes. Bake in
an under crust like pumpkin pie.

SHOULD FARMERS WORK,
" Make Your Head Save Your Heels" and
Your Purse.

The farmers work to much with
their hands and too little with their
heads, says Mr.. Philip Snyder in
Country Gentleman. They begin
their farm lives without intellectual
training, and that narrowness
prompts dislike of change or innova-
ton. Their system of work is tradi-
tional, not progressive or scientific.
They have no taste for investigation
in fact, rather hate l., and despise
the man who does like it. They
work and think in ruts.
They work hard with their hands,
give themselves up to it, think of
little else, and while so doing, the
rest of the world slips by them and
beats them in the race for wealth
and distinction.
1t does not matter that they grow
the crops which feed the world
they are competitors with each other,
and have no organization (at least
that has yet been effectively by which
to compel any terms from the people.
Now, work is important, and
every farmer should know how to
work with his hands in order to ap-
preciate properly the work of his
men, and sometimes to teach; but
that he cannot succeed without en-
gaging regularly in hand labor is
arrant nonsense.
The man who deserves the name
of farmer is at least grade higher
than any mere laborer. The farmer
exercises his mind in the conduct of
his business-and all farmers are
business men in a sense-but the
laborer's business is to obey orders
and do specified work Ordinarily
his work is only routine, and re-
quires little mental exercise.
The foreman of all gangs of
laborers is always supposed to have
more mind and culture than any of
his men, and when he is found to
have great deal more mind and
executive ability, he is sometimes
made superintendent or general
manager, and then perhaps he does
not work at all-with his hands
and gets big salary for it. But,
according to some people, since he
has stopped working with his men
the business he superlntends must
speedily come to grief.
