Distributing Unearned Increment.

The government ownership of
what Prof Ely calls natural monop-
olies-railroads, telegraphs, tele
phones, electric lighting, gas light
ing, water supply, ETC., of cities
and towns-is decided improve
ment over the single tax plan
applied to such monopolies remain
ing in private hands. Under gov
ernment ownership and distribution
of benefits at cost there could be no
partiality, the entire country would
share alike in the benefits. Let us
have government ownership of
natural monopolies, aud the ground
rent tax on private monopoly of

The Dolphln's Changing Colors.

1t is a popular impression among
most people that while dolphin is in
it's death struggle it changes color to
almost every hue of the rainbow. While
making a trip by water from New
York to New Orleans a few months
ago, says traveller in the st. Louis
Republic, the mate of the vessel caught
a dolphin early one morning, and the
passengers were summoned on deck to
see it change color as it lay gasping in
the agonies of death. The colors were
certainly very beautiful, but not nearly
as vivid as had been expected. These
fish are not especial favorites from a
gastronomic point of view, being rather
dry and tasteless. The one caught by
the mate was fried for breakfast, the
cook taking the precaution to put a sill
yer half-dollar in the pan while cook
ing it, to make sure that the fish had
not been feeding on something poison
Gus, which is said to be sometimes the
case. If the silver becomes tarnished,
1t would not be safe to eat the fish. -

Toast forks come in silver and
are a convenient addition to the

broad. They are just large enough
to hold a piece of toast. A jelly

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Pronunciation Classes.

The classes in pronunciation are
achieving the noblest work, and
were organized to correct the re-
cognized weakness of Americans in
this direction. In addition to this
mission they instruct, in the mother
class, which is the guide for all the
Others, in the proper application
and choice of words; where, again,
in expressing themselves, Ameri-
cans are lamentably faulty. In one
sitting on the class, a woman of
obedient and receptive mind learned
that one of the most unforgivable
crudities is to pronounce "Japan,"
and "mustache" with an accent on
the first syllable, since the accent
correctly falls on the last; and, con
trary wise, in exquisite" the first
syllable takes the accent. She was
told that such names as "Birming-
ham," Buckingham" etc., are
properly pronounced as if the first
syllable were spelled "em' and not
by broadly accenting the cham"
''Patent," according to the most
approved laws, is spoken with the
a flat, as in "radiant'; while "been"
is pronounced just as it is spelled,
and not "binn or "ben'; as too
many Americans trip it faultily off
their tongues. A most grave error
is that of pronouncing the letter u
as double o; for instance, "duty,"
'Tuesday," "dew," are often
spoken as if written "dooty,"
"Toosday," and "doo," while the
and ew should be enunciated as
the first u in Curious" Instead
of depot, station is given as the
proper word; and shop in place
of store. All along with this 90
directions to study moderation in
the use of adjectives, which most of
us fling like largess through our
conversation, thereby robbing Ian
guage of half its diguity and i'm
pressiveness. The teacher of the
class has set her pupils to studying
up the correct application of the
words "quite," "such," and CAS-"
and lectures roundly on our misuse
of "real," when Greatly" is the
proper form. She delivered a
small talk on how to address serv-
ants, and emphasized the point that
members of a family who speak to
any servant of the feminine head of
the house must call her "your
Mistress" They must also axact
that the servants speak of her as
''the mistress" In turn, the
masculine head is spoken ofas "your
master" and "the master.n "The
young ladies" is the proper des-
ignation of the daughters of the
house.-Demorest's Magazine.

Reform Parties.

All our parties are reform parties.
The democracy has been lowering
the tariff ever since the government
was established. They have done
so well their rates are higher in
1894 than they were in 1912. The
republicans have been "saving the
Union" for thirty years and the
tramp, tramp, tramp of a million
men on the march still sounds
throughout the country-the tramp
of the tramp.-Henry ID. Lloyd's
speech at Chicago Peoples party
meeting.

Useful Recipes.

a pound of rice in one quart of
water for an hour, strain off the
water, sweeten to taste and add the
juice of a small lemon. Pour into
a mold to form.
Potato CAKES.-RoaSt some
potatoes in the oven; when done,
skin and pound in a mortar with a
small piece of butter warmed in a
little milk; chop a shalot and a
little parsley very fine, mix well
with the potatoes, add pepper and
salt, shape into cakes, egg and
bread crumb them, and fry a light
brown.
YELLOW DELICATE CAKE
Cream together two and one half
cups fine granulated sugar and one
cup butter; then add one cup sweet
milk, four cups flour, three tea
spoons baking powder, six eggs
beat in one egg at a time, not
separating the whites.
This is good for loaf or layer cake
and is a good foundation for most
any kind of cake. A few raisins
and nuts in middle LAYER makes a
change.
MACARONI CROQUETTEs. For
lunch cupful of the macaroni left
from yesterdays dinner may be
made into delicious croquettes, but
they should be prepared the day
before. Put over the fire half pint
of milk, and when boiling hot stir
in tablespoonful of butter, two of
grated cheese and two of flour
mixed with cold milk. This will
be sufficient for two pint bowlfuls
of cold minced macaroni. Stir the
macaroni in the sauce, season to
taste, add the yolks of two eggs,
cook for a minute and turn out on
plate to cool. When cold shape
and fry the same as rice croquettes.
JELLY GLASSES cheap way
to make jelly glasses is suggested
by housekeeper who never thinks
of spending penny on glass for
jelly. Take bottles of the size de-
sired and saturate a cord with
coal oil; then tie it tight around
the bottle. Be sure that none of
the coal oil runs down the sides of
the bottle; if it does, wipe it off.
Touch lighted match to the string
and the bottle will cut in two as
neatly as though made that way.
Wrap the cord three times around
right close together, and just as the
shreds drop away dash cup of
cola water on the bottle and tap the
neck end with the handle ola knife.
OYSTER RCROQUETTES.- Excellent
croquettes are made from oysters,
so good, in fact, that one need not
hesitate to use them now and then,
instead of the always -tO-be-e -eX
pected croquette made from chicken.
Take pint of the solid meats, and
put them over the fire with enough
of their liquor to cover. When
they begin to simmer drain them
dry and cut into good sized dice.
Heat bit of butter the size of an
English walnut until it bubbles, add
a tablespoonful of flour, and when
well mixed a half-cupful of rich
milk, and a half-cupful of oyster
liquor. Season to taste with salt,
cayenne pepper, a grating of nut
meg, and, ifyou like it, onion juice.
Take from the fire; add the oysters
and cool. Then mould, coat with
egg and very fine dry dread crumbs,
and fry in boiling deep fat, as you
do other croquetttes. Serve with
white cream sauce seasoned with
chopped parsley and celery salt.

Records Show = Mfss0uri Negro 20
Nave Been Born I23 Years Ago.


From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Cole county, Mo can boast of the
oldest man in the State OF Missouri,
and perhaps in the United States.
His name is Richard Hoops, and he
is a negro. He lives in small
shanty on the banks of the Usage
river, at Usage City. According to
the records OF his own statements he
was born in Chatham county, N. c.,
OH December Goth, ITO, and. conse
quently, was 123 years old on the
10th of last month. He came to
| Missouri with his then master John
| Z. Haydon, settling at Lanes
Prairie, Gasconade county. A few
years later he was transferred to the
man whose name he now bears, and
lived with him near Vienna, Maries
county, until the emancipation of the
slaves
Since that time he has lived at
Westphalia, but for the past twenty
| five years he has made his home at
Usage City. Hoops is remarkably
well preserved, and lives alone in his
shanty He fishes great deal for
! the big catfish that frequent the
waters OF the Usage, and is never
happier than when he can catch q
big one and make soup OF it's head.
He Is still able to do some work, and
it @as only few years since that he
contracted with a 1armer In the
vicinity OF his home to remove the
stumps and roots O1 a newly cleared
tract OF land. He fulfilled his con-
tract, doing all the work himself.
HIS mind Is still clear ON many vi the
events that happened toward the
close of the last century. and he
recalls with great pride that he once
held the horse OF Gen. Greene of
revolutionary fame.
In appearance Hoops is said to
resemble mummy; his skin looks
like parchment, and he is toothlt tss
and hairless, but his step is remark
| ably firm and his eye bright aud
clear As stated, he lives alone, hav
Ing no relatives as Tar as known. He

the Missouri Pacific railroad bridge
across The Usage, and, except when
absent Oh his fishing trips, 'Uncls

that he is the oldest person III the

INFLUENCE OF YOUNG GIRLS.
The Power They Have to Reform
Young Men.

Some young girls exert a great in
fiueuce on all who know them, says
u writer in d contemporary. Peace
ana purity, charity and cheerIulness,
seem to be with them, like angels
protecting from harm and causing
their companions to love them and
to love their virtues for their sake.
Where they go, quarrels cease; where
| they are no one would dare be rude;
their parents find in them the com
tort OF heir old age; their brothers
are fond OF them; they, themselves,
seem unconscious OF their power, and
viii not know until all things are re-
vealed to the extent of their respon-
sibility and of the good they do.
Once it happened that young
man, who was sowing ois wild
OATS" became acquainted with one
of those young girls to whom inno-
cence is as vital as pure air. The
magnetism of her goodness made
him a changed man. He forsook his

said: ''When L am W tn her | want

A church Trias.

At the special term of Caldwell
Superior Court, the most remarkable
tria. on record in this State is now in
progress. The question involved il
whether the Church OF the Adventists
is an evangelical Christian church. !"
1t is said that the attorneys on both
sides (and there are a number OF
them) are studying the Bible, in
stead of the law-books. The cause
of the trial 10 thegiit of lands ito the
use of any evangelical church" A
church was built, which various de-
nominations used. The Adventists
finally began to build new church.
The Baptists secured an Injunction
on the ground that the Adventists
were not evangelical. The Advent
lists believe in the annihilation of the
souls OF sinners. One of their preach
ers said in the pulpit A sinners soul
disappears like piece of lard in q

Correspondence of the Sentinel1
KERNERsvILLE, Jan. r. We have
been having plenty of rain and the
streets and public highways are now
getting in bad travelling condition.
The weather bureau did pretty well.
One blizzard came during the night
though instead of the day on yester-
day. The wind blew hard and almost
col tinuouSly last night.
Mr.. j. A. Vance, of Salem, was
down last Saturday with iron rods
and other necessary equipments and
bound the Academy together so it is
now c nsidered in safe condition. We
learn the school will open next Mon
day under the management of Prof.
Willis.
The most lively and prosperous
business carried on in our town now
is the spoke and shuttle factory, oper-
ated by Mr.. George Care, who is doing
supply of dOgwoOd and persimp1on
stock on the yard and a lot on the
road.
Miss Cora Galloway, an accomplish
ed, talented aud highly efficient young
lady Of our town opened up subscrip-
tion school in the Y. M. Q. A. rooms
on last Monday morning with fair
attendance for a beginning. Surely
Kernersville intends to educate, a
good public school, a good academy
school and a good private school. We
doubt not but all will be supplied with
children for they are in the district
and we wish each teacher and pupil
abundant success.
The Baptist church is now about
entirely completed and the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Sheets, will hold services in
it on Saturday and Sunday next fol
the first time since the cyclone.
B. A. Brown sold his fine pair OF
