GOOD DEMOCRATS.

Grover Cleveland is good demo,
crat; he wants only few gold dollars
so the east can swipe up everything
there is in North America and leave
her aborerS to starve. Di Bland is
agood democrat; h wantssilver and
paper and lots OF money, is willing tc
let the eastern man live. but wants
the same privilege for the western
men. Senator Vest is good demo.
crat; but he wants silver dollar as
big as dinner plate if it w i'll only put
him in the senate again. The COVER.
nor of West Nirg mia is a good demo,
crat: but he has recently been before
the committee of ways and means
arguing for protective tariff. Con.
gresham Springer of Illinois is good

and do his best to elect a gold bug for
governor of that state.
Out in Virginia and Maryland the
gold-bug democracy carry these states
and every democratic paper in the
west glcats over it, and calls them
splendid victories. What are they
victories for the people or the gold
power of the east and Europe? Every
officer they have elected in both OF
these states is gold bug and in favor
of that policy. They did not run a
man for state office, in any state,
east or west, last fall, who was not a

form, but western papers call them all
good democrats, and say they all
preach good sound democratic doe
trine. Is it not time, in the name OF
common honor and decency, for the
people to call halt on any such
double dealing? The men who edit
the western papers of that party know
they are not telling their readers the
truth in what they print about their
party, or the condition of the country,
and they certainly do it to deceive
them for the purpose of gain in the
future = Industrial Union Lamar,

The Pigeon Is Sacred in Russia.

In al article on "Religious Russia
published in LIE Correspondent, of
Paris, France, Fedor Zakarine writes
that in his country the pigeon is
sacred. Regarding it as the symbol of
the Holy Ghost, a Russian will never
use the bird of peace for food. Some
famished dvornik, in the shadow of the
night, may be tempted to get a stew
from the brood nesting under his roof,
or a foreigners shop may, perhaps, on
a quiet Sabbath, be perfumed with the
smell of roast pigeons, for which, with
interested solicitude, he provides
shelter above his cabin, but these are
very rare and risky exceptions. Pigeons
multiply about the churches, choosing
their domicile above the entablature
and Nesting among the acanthus
leaves of the capitals of the columns.
They treat the churches like conquered
edifices, soiling at liberty the gold of
the images, the sconce and the porches,
Just as the pigeons of Venice defile the
tagstone of st. Mark. Nor have they
more respect for the visage of the great
Catharine, the horse of Peter the
Great, the helmet of Nicholas, or the
shoulders of Souvaroff.

An Island Thai Grows.

In the Missouri River, near Leaven-
worth, there is an island which has
furnished the land law officers of the
Government a novel problem. This
island was on the Missouri side when
it was surveyed in 1858. Now it is q
legal part of Kansas. But that is not
the queer thing about it. Islands in
the Missouri frequently shift their al
~legiance. The trouble with this ISL
and is that it has been growing. When
the Government officers surveyed it
they found 500 acres, and that was the
amount entered in the records. When
two Leavenworth men, Skillings and
Diffendorf, took out patents for the
whole island the amount Of land put in
the patents was 500 acres. But the
island has been growing through all
of these years in Il way Missouri River
islands have a fashion of doing. There
are now 400 acres in the island. A
coal-bed, it has been discovered, runs
under the island, and that tends to
make the land more valuable. Re-
Gently squatters have tried to take
possession of the surplus over and
above the 500 acres claimed by the
p~atentees. The latter set up a claim
to the growth. The land lawyers OF
the Government, after taking plenty
of time to think about the case, have
decided that SkiIlings and Diffendorf
are entitled to the whole island under
their original patents St. Louis

IRRIGATION AND TREE CULTURE

The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irrigation.
and the arid lands question will never
be satisfactorily settled without the
recognition of this principle in it's
solution. America can i'll afford to
ignore the experience of other Nations
IN this respect, and forestry should
receive equal consideration with irri-
cation.
1t has been estimated that within
historic times some seven millions of
square miles along the shores of the
Mediterranean, once highly fertile,
have been changed into worthless
deserts, and for nearly two thousand
years the inhabitable portion of the
earth has decreased at the average
rate of $500 square miles. This has
been produced by the direct agency of
man, the evil being chiefly due to
river floods caused almost exclusively
by the destruction of land protecting
forests.
It is right that America should set
the example of retaining desert
lands, and thus increase the earth's
capacity for supporting the human
race. Irrigation and tree culture
must 60 hand and hand in this work.

Animals and the Weather.

The tortoise is particularly sensa'
tive and fully twenty-four hours be-
fore rain falls will look for a conven-
lent shelter. However bright the
weather may be, whenever tortoises
arc observed making for shelter rain
is certain to fall shortly afterward.
This presentment, which exists IN
many birds and beasts, is doubtless
partly due to the increasing weight of
the atmosphere when rain is forming.
In our own country the robin is said
by its peculiar movements to give evil
dcnce of On impending change in the
weather, while in America the cat
bird is notorious for it's unerring in
stilct in giving warning of an ap-
.rroaching thunderstorm. Its method

A Queer Rainbow Superstition.

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales of SUI
perstitious fancies far exceed those OF
the gypsies, have some rainbow be-
liefs which are, perhaps, not dupli-
Gated in the popular notions of any
others among the races of mankind.
They boot at the idea of its being a
witness to Gods covenant with man
that the earth will no more undergo
the ordeal of food, and declare that it
was made for the express purpose OF
letting the first mar and woman down
from heaven, the man securely fast
ened to one end of the great varle-
gated band, the woman at the other.
The end of time, according to the
Kurds, will be ushered in by the ap-
pearance of four rainbows, which will
cross Mt the zenith, furnishing eight
passageways for God and His hosts. -

HOW TO MAKE AN OMELET.

eff it we're my privilege to examine
Rorer, 81 should first put them to
making omelets, as nothing would be-
tray more quickly the skill or ignor-
ance Of a cook than the handling of
the breakfast omelet." And then she
explains how it should be made.
Have an omelet pan about eight in
ches in diameter-one made from sheet
iron preferable. The bottom should
be as smooth as glass. If not, put into
it a teaspoonful of salt, AID then with
a piece of brown paper scour it thor
oughly. Do not wash it aftsf, simply
turn the salt out and put in a piece OF
butter the size of a walnut. Break
four to six eggs into a bowl, and with
a fork give twelve to fifteen vigorous
beats, not enough to make the mixture
light, but to thoroughly mix the white
and the yolks of the eggs. Beating
either together or separately robs eggs
of their flavor, and also makes small
air cells. which expand as the pan is
heated and cool as the omelet is turned
over for the table, thus making a heavy
rather than a light and tender one.
Do not add salt or pepper to the ONE
let until it is nearly done. Salt
toughens the eggs. Add one teaspoon
full of boiling water to each egg as soon
as they are beaten. Put in a piece Of
butter the size of a hickory nut. Now
put the frying pan over the fire, hav-
ing already placed in it a piece of but
ter the size of a walnut, and as soon
as it is melted, not brown, pour in the
eggs. Place over a quick fire, shake
as soon as the omelet begins to have a
set appearances; with a timber knife
lift the eggs, allowing the more liquid
part to go underneath. thus forming
layers, as it were, being very careful
not to tear the omelet, or it will have
the appearance of scrambled eggs.
Now sprinkle the omelet with salt and
pepper, and continue lifting until the
whole has been put in a jellylike con.
dition. If the pan is perfectly smooth
the omelet will not stick. When done
and set, not hard, slip a knife under
the omeleI-tnaI part next the nan0le
of the pan-roll it over, then turn
gently on to a heated dish; serve at
once. It is better that you should
wait five minutes for your omelet than
that your omelet should wait one min
ute for you.
You will notice l have used water in
preference to milk. Milk contains a
small amount of cheese, toughens in
cooking and spoilsthe omelet. Neither
should you use thickening of any kind
--cornstarch or -four. Simply take
the egg and water and you will have a
tender, delicious omelet. One more
caution, the omelet should not be a
dark brown, as it destroys the flavor
of the egg.

WINTER CUTTINGS.

In the winter time cuttings from
shrubs and small fruits should be
made for early spring planting. II
this way trees and shrubs can be
greatly increased in numbers, and
new, large orchards can be given an
early start without any expense other
than the labor required to make the
cuttings and plant them. Currants,
gooseberries and ornamental shrubs
should begrown upon nearly all farms.
The various methods adopted by
florists to increase the number of their
shrubs and trees are all simple, such
as the soft wood cuttings in the green
house in the winter and layering in
the summer, but the hardwood propa-
CATION in fall or spring is the method
that should be considered at this time
of the year. If the cuttings r to be
planted out in the spring they may be
made any time this winter. Where
winters are severe the planting should
never take place until spring., but
where the weather is not very cold it
does not matter much whether the
paintings are made in the fall, winter
or spring. The cuttings that are
gathered in the winter should be tied
in loose bundles. and be set In damp
sand in a frost proof cellar where they
will keep until needed in the spring.
As soon as the soil dries out in the
spring they should be planted.
The young shoots Of last season
should be selected for these cuttings,
and they should be cleft from the
main bushes 20 that they will be about

new process of drilling by means Of

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fatten your sheep before selling.
Turkeys fret if confined to a coop.
It will never pay to feed poor COWS.
Have the colts thoroughly broken to
harness when young.
Give the young pigs all the skim
milk they will drink.
Cleanliness is as necessary to the
sheep as food and shelter.
The less water there is in butter the
fewer odors it will absorb. F.
Quality rather than quantity should
be the motto of all breeders.
Narrow door and gate ways are
frequent causes of capped hips.
Milk set to cool where smells exist
| absorb such odors very readily.
A small flock of sheep, well cared
| for, is a source of continual profit.
Clean stables will add much to the
health and comfort of your horses.
The usual time for weaving is when
the foals are four or five months old.
Too much corn is the source of many
of the disorders to which hogs are sub
ject.
It is said that worms cause more
deaths among sheep than any other
disease.
If dried fruit be run through q fam
ming mill before sacking it will come
out free from dust and all foreign sub.
stances.
The winter dairy brings in an in
come at the time when the farmer is
receiving very little from any other
source.
Beets are an excellent addition to
the dry food for sheep during the win
ter. They should be run through a
root-cutter and a quart given to each
sheep night and morning.
Don't be too hasty about changing
from one kind Of stock to another.
The breeder who sticks to one kind all
the time, trying to improve it, is apt
to come out right in the end.
A little wheat chaff scattered on the
floor of the poultry-house will keep it
dry and warm, besides forming an ex-
cellent litter for the poultry to scratch
in for the grain which should be scat
tered about daily.
The French farmer has learned that
raising sugar beets increases the yield
of the land. The process is an indi-
rect one. The refuse from the beet
roots enables him to keep more stock
and their manure improves the soil.
Food will not make hens lay if they
are kept in a cold poultry-house. The
hens must be protected from the cold
air when they are on their roosts at
night, if you would avoid swollen
heads, frosted combs and sore eyes,

An Operation for Bullet in the Eve

49, ShS AyO
Our Paris correspondent describes
y clever operation by the eminent
French surgeon, DR.. Pean. A little
girl four and q half years old was
playing, on the 18th of July last, near
her father while he was cleaning u
loaded pistol. The frearm went off
and q ball, striking the child close to
the eye, lodged in the skull. She fell
senseless to the floor. The eve was
thought to be destroyed. For some
days subsequently she suffered from
fever and pain around the eve.
At tho Irousseau Hospital, where
she was taken i'll September to be
treated for Jacksonian epilepsy, and
with the side opposite to the wound
quite paralyze5 she was at last
thought to be dead. AS she was being
carried to the deadhouse the attendant
noticed signs Of life. On the oath of
September she was examined by DIR.
Ballet, who diagnosed a lesion in the
frontal and parietal regions.
Two days later DR.. Pean came to
see her. He decided to trepan the
child. In operating he opened a de-
post of pus which weighed nearly half
a pound. When it was all cleared out
and the ball removed. the place was
washed with an antiseptic liquid, the
bone replaced, and the flesh sewed up
over it. Next day the child was bright
and gay. In q few days she was quite
well, and it is now founl that no in
jury whatever WAS Cone to the eve,
which has recovered the normal visual
power. London Daily News.
