One of the most gratifying things in this
much-shouted, lons-drawn-out end of the
century Is the revival of the husking bee.
The barn party has struggled hard 10 get
the better CT it. Barn party"-incon-
gruous name-brings to mind floor nicely
polished for dancing to the music Of the
city orchestra. with no trace of hay or
straw, and the horses resting In roomy
stalls Barn party belongs to the city
village, and marks a weak attempt to
bring together the old and the new.
In ''husking bee there is the odor Of the
breath of cattle, the light of the jack
O. lantern, the warmth of the summer sun
slowed away in the mows. the dancing of
bright eyes, the laughter of red-cheeked
girls. the gurgle of the cider jug and Withal
the itching from the rye boards that make
dust on the rough board floor. "Husking
bees belong to the country cross roads
and beyond. We know there is revival
of them, because almost every one of our
exchanges mentions them In its correspond
ence, but, unfortunately. not enough at
tention has been given to them in print
to make a boom. The nearest to 1t " as
when it was written of bee over in East
Hartford that it was decided to call all

DOES HER OWN COOKING.
"h"t shc Eats at Their Daily
Meals,


From the Philadelphia Ledger
ITO eat pickles is 20 show a lack of edu-
cation" said Mrs. Rorer, in the course of
a lecture. PLENTY of phosphorus throws
light upon the brain. Cooked apples are
more easily digested than raw, but are
not SO valuable from a health standpoint.
The sugar of nature is in fruit; mans
sugar will create more destruction than a
mad dog. Oatmeal is valuable food If
cooked for ten hours and well mastica ted.
All starchy foods. must be cooked for hours.
Buckwheat cakes are an abomination unto
the Lord. Cabbage and onions If rightly
cooked have no odor. When there is odor
they are ruined as food. To cook them
rightly put them into water that is boil
ing hot. then keep it almost to the boiling
point. Will cook IN less time in water at
200 degrees than at 24O.'
Mr. Atkinson said the ladies sitting about
him claimed that she (hrs. Rorer) was
largely responsible for the indigestible
Things they put Oil their tables, as they
all kept house by her cook book Yes"
answered Mrs Rorer. 81 know it; but 1
wouldn't eat the things in that book for
all the money there is in the country -
Asked what she did eat. she said for
breakfast she had wheaton grits and cream
broiled chop. shredded wheat biscuit and
coffee without milk or sugar For lunch
Welsh rareb:t and fruit. For dinner a
light soup, meat and two vegetables one

lemon juice, wafer and cheese. She did
all her own cooking, and never gave over
an hour to preparing meal, and never in
her family was any special prepare ton
made for any one.

In conclusion, Judge Cox told the jury
that q majority finding would be all that is
required by the law, and that they might
take their own time in considering their

The further consideration of the case by
the court was then continued until verdict

would not be earlier than some time next

Among the many interesting traditions

full study of the legends and folk lore of

Indian territory is one that accounts in an
original way for the origin of woman.

that originally all men We're created with

We're their delight, and they adorned them

scourge upon them to teach them humility

STATUE OF GRANT.
1t Will he Erected In Paramount
Park, Philadelphia, Next Spring.


Park, Philadelphia, Next Spring.
From the Philadelphia l., dyer.
The finishing touches are being given to
new equestrian statue of Gen. Grant,
which will be cast in bronze this month
and erected in Paramount Park. Phiiadel-
phia early next spring.
The nearly finished clay model of the
statue is in the studio of Mr.. Potter. at
Enfield, Mass, but will be brought to New
York this month to the bronze foundry to
he cast The statue measures fifteen feet
from its base to the top of the head of
GRAFT, being about the size of the Wash
ington statue in Union Square. The horse
is nine feet high at the withers. He stands
on his four feet, if his rider had refined
him in at the edge of precip:ce.
The figure of Grant is wrapped in an
ample cloak with cape. the hat sloughng
forward, the feet encased in top boots.
The features are we'll defined and distinct
ly recognizable, the expression, as well as
the whole attitude, suggesting strength,
nerve, endurance and characteristic reti-
cence. Grant did not usually carry a
sword ard Mr.. French has therefore DIS
pensed with that accessory, which, how
ever is scarcely missed, the figure being
so thoroughly martial in sentiment and
spirit. You infer from the closely wrapped
cloak of the general that he is facing a
wintry blast, an impression which is
strengthe by the strong light on the
face, like the glare of sunlight reflected
from Snow-covered landscape.
