Accounting for the PLANK.

A man Of doubtful reputation was on his
way home one night and came across a pile of
planks, which, for some reason, had been IN
loaded upon the roadside, says the Christian
Secretary. He couldn't, or thought he
couldn't, resist the temptation to steal one of
them.

bog hole and sank in the mire. The more he
struggled the deeper he sank. until getting

Judge Lamar and Senator voorhees,.

Senator Voorhees, and Col. Dick Bright
dropped in one day to see their old friend,
Judge Lamar, when he was Secretary OF the
Interior, says the Chicago Herald. Quietly
taking back seat until the crowd should di-
mlnlSh, they waltsd-and waited-but the
secretary YEARLY continued the effort to
orous multitude. apparently unaware OF their
presence. Their time being somewhat linn
tied. ana becoming just trifie warm behind
the ears at the long delay, they at last arose,
and as they passed the preoccupied officer on
their way to the door Senator Voorhees, said
to him in tones slightly trapped:
If l were secretary of the Interior ('Wish
to God you were!'' interrupted Lamar and
you called to see me, l would try and find

George Gould is being annoyed by
another conference.-the number about
1,O01. As has been the case with the
others, this crank wants money, and a
pile of it, His name is Chick, and he
poses as journalist, because twelve or
fifteen years ago he rau little publica-
ton. He put in an appearance at the
Gould house at Lakewood, N. j., the
other night and tried to get an audience
with Gould in order to collect 500 900
which he said Gould had promised him
with which to revive his little periodical.
Failing to see the young Croesus, the crank
wrote him a dozen or so letters, which
failed to reach their destination. Chick
has been in an asylum two or three times
and was discharged as cured. He will
probably be next heard from in an asylum
again.

A New Jersey justice of the peace has
been called upon to decide whether or
not it is misdemeanor for a young man
to wink at pretty girl in church. The
girl resented the wink, and when asked
70 explain what he meant by it the young
fellow declared it was involuntary. The
girl may have been satisfied, but one of
the elders of the church was not, and
lodged complaint with the justice, who
heard the evidence and reserved his de-

1t has been demonstrated over and over
again that uniform duty Of cent on all i'm
ports OF sugar would not impose any more
burden on consumers than they now bear IN
the half cent duty on refined sugar But the
uniform duty OF l cent on all sugars would

The democrats have majority in the House

passed promptly, and in order to pass it
promptly the democrats will have to stick to

The aubernatorial Nomination.

The campaign for the democratic nomi-
nation for governor Of this state has not
yet fairly begun. There are two candi-
dates for it thus far, and their announce
merts have caused the people to discuss
the subject TO some extent. 1t is not improb-
able that there will be other candidates
before the campaign is ended. The indi-
cations are that the democrats will have
opposition. But whether they do or not,
they should not decide in favor of any
candidate without being thoroughly sat
isfied of his fitness for the position.
Georgia should have man for governor
who is thoroughly impressed with the i'm
portance of the gubernatorial office, and
who is capable Of using the opportunities
it presents for promoting the happiness
of the people and advancing their mate
rial interests. It is too often the case
that the governors office is used to gain
a United States senatorship or some
other Office The peoples interests are
forgotten or neglected, and every EFFORT
made to advance theincumbent's political
interests Reforms that should be urged
receive little or no attention, because
onized. Only routine matters are at
tended to, and the consequence is that
the state is hindered in her progress.
Before the state and county nominating
conventions meet the people should make
up their minds that they will nomi-
nate for governor and for mem.
bers Of the legislature men who
are not only capable, but willing to
make certain reforms of which there is
urgent need. For instance, the present
convict system should be replaced by
better system. Frequently facts come
to light which show that the great ma
jority Of the convicts do not regard the
punishment received in the convict
camps as any punishment at all and, be-
sides, the system is open to abuses of
kind that should not be possible. There
are ways in which the burdens of the
people could be reduced. In many of the
counties there are useless offices which
pay large salaries. There are Offices in
this county which could be abolished
without detriment to the public service
The inequality of taxation is great
wrong. There are counties that secure
from the school fund more than the
amount Of taxes they pay to the state.
These are only few of the things that
need the attention of reform governor
and reform legislature. The people
should not hastily decide that they will
favor this or that man for governor, and
they should not send to the legislature
any man simply because he expresses a
desire to represent them. They should
seek good men for the offices and give
their support only to those who can rem
der them valuable service. In Turner,
Lester, Biount or Hammond they might
find the man who would make
an excellent governor, and in their
respective counties there are men who
would make good records in the legisla-
ture. They must call for these men II
they wait for them to offer themselves as
candidates the chances are they will
never have the benefit Of their services

The MoIe-The Gardeners Enemy.

One of the most annoying of
living things to the cultivator is the
mole. 1t roots and turns up the
soil in every direction; but the
scientific man tries to comfort the
flower lover by assuring him that
the creatures are only after grubs
and worms, which would destroy
his plants any rate. It's, however,
coming to be acknowledged as a fact
that nearly all creatures will eat
either animal or vegetable food as
it suits them. Among birds, it is
believed, there are not a dozen in
America that live exclusively on
animal food, and it is probable that
even this dozen would readily
|change their habits if the proper
amount of animal food was not
forthcoming.
In relation to the mole it is stated
that lady in Oregon, Miss Talbot,
arose in her place in meeting and
protested against the assertion of
the Professor that the mole lived
on animal food alone; she was, how
ever, talked down; but determined
that she would not remain in the
class of ignoramuses, she therefore
caught one, Gagged it and gave it
nothing whatever to eat but veget-
able food, and when the convention
met next year she produced her pet
mole before the Professor, fat and
hearty for all its exclusively veget-
able diet. Miss Talbot states that
she found her mole especially fond
of peas.-Meehan's Monthly.

Useful Recipes.

BAKING POTATOES baking
potatoes cut little bit of the skin
off the end of each. This will
allow the steam to escape, and they
will not have sodden taste.
BAKED HoMINY.-To two cupfuls
of cold boiled hominy add one
tablespoonful of white sugar, one
egg well beaten, one cupful of milk
and a little salt, beat all together
until light and bake in buttered
pudding dish. Serve as yeget-
able.
BUTTERNUT Chop
butternut meats very fine, add a
little of your favorite spice. Make
a frosting as if for cake, thicken it
with chopped nuts till it can be
handled. Rub the hands with a
very little butter, roll the paste into
little balls and put them on buttered
tins allowing space for spreading.
BAKED INDIAN NG.-Seven
tablespoonfuls of Indian meal
stirred into one quart of milk while
boiling, add little salt and remove
from the fire; when nearly cold add
one-half cupful molasses and one
pint cold milk. Bake very slowly
three hours. An egg and spices
may be added if desired. Serve
hot or cold with sweetened cream.
DRIED APPLE PIEs.-Cook the
apples over night and cook till very
soft, then rub them through a col
ander, or seive. For 2 pies use
three eggs, sugar and spice to taste.
Bake with one crust and cover with
q meringue made of the white of
one egg and two tablespoonfuls of
sugar to each pie. If 81 lemon is
sliced and cooked with the apples
before they are strained, it will i'm
prove the flavor of the pies.

What Housewives Shouldn't Do.

She should not forget to put
pieces of licorice around where ants
are inclined to run.
She should not cut soap with a
knife, but with fine wire or thread,
and there will be no waste.
She should not clean grained
wood with soapy water, but with
cold tea, if she would keep the
colors bright and fresh.
She should not put bread away
in tight box until quite cold, for
it will steam and become soggy if
put away while hot.
She should not salt beef before or
while cooking, as it draws out the
juices, which, in boiling especially,
are thereby lost.
She should not put damp tea
leaves on light colored carpet be-
fore sweeping, as often recommend
ed, as they will surely leave stains.
She should not attempt to beat
eggs to stiff froth without first
putting in small pinch of salt, as
this will cause them to beat much
finer and quicker.
She should not bake loaf cakes in
a hot oven without taking the pre-
caution to set a little iron stand Cor
something of the sorD between the
cake tin and the bottom of the
oven, to prevent the loaf from
burning on the bottom before it is
done through.
She should not allow the oil cloth
to become dull and wear into holes,
when she can preserve it by giving
it one or two coats of varnish; for a
little care in this respect about
twice a year, during the spring and
fall house. cleaning, will keep it
bright and durable for long time.
She should not have damp
clothes hanging around the kitchen
or sitting room, if the wash day
proves too stormy to hang them
outside, for the dampness from
them may bring on a case of Group
among the children, or pneumonia
with the older ones; it Will be better
to let the clothes soak a day or two
until the weather clears.

Silvering Mirrors.

Mirrors are usually silvered by coat
ing the glass with amalgam. For this
purpose large, perfectly fiat stone is
provided, and upon it is evenly spread o
sheet of tin foil without crack or flaw.
This is covered to the depth of one
eighth of an inch with clean mercury.
The plate of glass, perfectly cleaned
from all grease and impurity, is fioated
on to the mercury by sliding, so as to
exclude all air bubbles. 1t is then
pressed down by loading it with
weights, in order to press out all the
mercury which remains fluid. This is
received in gutter around the stone,
