NOW F0R ACTION.

The Tariff bill has been put into shape
by the Democratic majority. and no
more fooling over the bill ought to be
allowed. The bin is a Democratic meas
ure. called for time and again by the
public voice. The party has already
been injured by the delay that has oc-
CURED In it's passage. Now the ranks
should be closed up. and those who are
opposed to tariff reform. whether from
personal motives or because they are
masquerading as Democrats while high
protcctionists at heart, should be driven
from the camp and made to take UP
their position with the open enemies
Of the PARTY.
Any further delay or any further
federation of treason can only result In
disaster to the COUNTRY as well as TO
the Democracy. The watchword now
should be, the public interests to the
front-traitors to the rear.

Artificial Coffee.

IT will, perhaps, be news to many to
know hat ton Of artificial coffee are
being made and sold for the purpose Of
mixing with and adulterating coffee.
The grains are stamped out, colored
and roasted so as to look exactly like
the genuine article, and would, If mixed
with genuine coffee, easily deceive an
unskilled eye. The fact that the color
of the artificial does not usually match
that Of the fresh roasted is one of the
methods of detection, and II the fraudu-
lent grain is bit into its hardness will
expose the fraud. Some of the artificial
coffee is made to initiate the raw coffee
grains and may also be found in 1t as
an adulterant.

Buttermilk Biscuits.

To the country wife they are not I'M
common, but to the city married woman
they are rare. Neither yeast nor bak-
ing powder is required in their compost
tion. Take a quart of buttermilk. into
which sift -four enough to make a thin
batter: cover the mixture over in q
crock and allow 1t to rise until morning:
then take the usual amount OF flour used
for the family. with which salt and soda
are sifted, using one-fourth teaspoon
full of the latter ingredient; use lard OF
sufficient quantity. thoroughly mixed
with the right proportion OF flour: then
take the batter. which serves in the
place of water; care must be used in not
getting the dough too thin to roll; after
the bread is ready for the stove cook in
a quick oven. The biscuits will be found
far richer and sweeter than the ordinary
water and baking powder ones.
