A little incident remarkable for its unus-
ualness was observed on the street last Sat
urday morning The four-horse team OF
the Messrs. Eagan came to town with load,
aud, trottiug along beside the lead horse, was
seen a small pig, which was making the air
resound with his squeals Of satisfaction, or
disgust. The pig had followed the team
from home and returned with it-Adrocats.
If the pig had been trotting at the tail end
of the wagon, like ''ysller' dog, we would
have inferred there was corn in the wagon.

For generations it has been the custom to
mix the batter for buckwheat cakes with
yeast or emptyings, retaining portion Of
the batter left over from the morning to
raise the cake for the following day.
II kept too warm, or not used promptly,
this batter becomes exceedingly sour and OBJ
jectionabe. Buckwheat cakes raised by this
means are more often sour or heavy than
light and sweet. II eaten daily they distress
the stomach and cause the skin eruptionS
and itching.
Instead Of the old fashioned way We have
been making buckwheat cakes this winter
with Royal Baking Powder, mixing the bat
ter fresh daily, and find the result wonder
fully satisfactory. They are uniformly
light and sweet, more palatable and whole
some, and can be eaten continuously with
out tho slightest digestive Inconvenience.
Besides they are mixed and baked in mo-
ment, requiring no time to rise. Following
Is the receipt used
Two cups of pure buckwheat -four mot
"prepared" or mixed) one cup of wheat
flour, two tablespoons Of Royal Baking Pow
der and one-half teaspoonful of salt, all sifted
we'll together Mix with milk into thin bat
ter and bake at once on hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no other
buckwheat will find its way to your table.

In Virginia there lives wealthy
family which owes its prosperity to the
generosity of George Washington.
When the present head of the family
was little boy, his father was in seri-
GUS money difficulties and owed large
amount OF money to the Washington
estate. The agent Of the estate pressed
him closely for the money, and the re-
suit would have been financial ruin for
the father of our Virginia boy If an
appeal had not been made to the Wash
ington family. General Washington
was always very generous to those who
owed him" said they, "and we shall
continue the same policy. The Gem

dressed in a full suit OF dark-brown
cloth, manufactured in Hartford, with

Chancellor Robert II. Livingston, ono
OF the committee OF five TO draft the
Declaration Of Independence, thirteen
years before, was dressed in full suit
Of black cloth and wore the robe Of
Office. Just before the oath was to be
administered IL was discovered that no
Bible was in Federal Hall. Luckily
Livingston, Grand Master OF Free
Masons, knew that there was one at
St. Johns Lodge, In the City Assem-
bly, rooms near by, and a messenger
was dispatched to borrow the Bible,
which Is to-day the property OF st.
Johns Lodge, No. l, the third Oldest
Masonic lodge In the United States.
Secretary Otis, Of the Senate, held
before him red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible Of St.
Johns Lodge. "You do solemnly
swear," said Livingston, that you will
faithfully execute the Office Of Presi-
dent OF the United States, and will,
to the best OF your ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution Of
the United States" Il do solemnly
swear" replied Washington, that I
will faithfully execute the Office Of
President of the United States, and
will, to the best Of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution OF
the United States" He then bowed
his head and kissed the sacred book,
and with the deepest feeling uttered
the words: $50 help me God!" The
Chancellor then proclaimed, Long
live George Washington President OF
the United States" The instant dis
charge OF thirteen cannon followed,
and with loud repeated shouts and
I'huzzas the people cried: God bless
our Washington; long live our be-
liloved President" The President
bowed to the people, and the air
/ again rang WIFI dCCldudblODs. W. pn-
ington, followed by the company at
the balcony, now returned to the SEN
ate chamber, where he took his seat,
and the Senators and Representatives
their seats. When Washington arose
to speak all stood and listened with
eager and marked attention.
Ioo After delivering his address the
president, accompanied by the Woe
President, the Speaker, the two
houses Of Congress, and all who at
