The Cuban Instruction.

The president is very careful to say
but little. He offers no advice about
a recognition of belligcrent rights and
confines himself to insisting that re-
gardless of the sympathy of our people
with the patriots the plain duty OF
their government is to observe in good
faith the recognized obligations of
international relationship and it will

The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1895-12-06

Our relations with the states of the
German empire are, in some aspects,
typical of a condition of things else
where found to countries whose pro
auctions and trade are similar to our
own. The close riyalries of competing

The market has been dull again today
on account of heavy rains in The winter
wheat belt, indiff ereEt cables and heavy
receipts III the northwest and light ship
ments, but we believe the king cereal is
on the rock bottom. 1t must be borne in
mind that Chicago and Minneapolis are
receiving immense quantities of wheat
that has been boarded in northwest
ern elevators. awaiting higher prices, and
is now, since wheat is selling
below g., being dumped out in Jumps,
the owners fearing that the prices will
go still lower or that their grain will be
attacked by weevil if held longer. This
fact is shown by decrease of over q
100000 bushels in the various elevators
and stations in the northwest. When this
supply gets low or shows signs OF ex
haus.ion. then shipments must be light
er and prices higher We believe wheat
to be a good purchase at present
prices. The weather conditions were not
at all favorable for the seeding of winter
wheat and in several instances the crop
is a total failure.

Over in Philadelphia dwelt young

and was reckoned pretty smart, as
Philadelphia lawyers 90. The old fell
low gave partial consent to the young
mans pleadings, but concluded he
would try the student and see if he was
worthy to be his son-in-law. So he said:

The young man took the papers and
went to work with vim born of love
for if he won the case should he not also
win a bride? At last life seemed to him
worth the living. He studied the case
thoroughly. He consulted the authori-
ties and was loaded and primed for a
brilliant argument when the court con-
vened. He made his plea and won the
case without any trouble.
With a heart overlooking with Joy he
returned to his prospective father-in-
law and, slapping down the papers, he
exclaimed:
See here, sir; the case is won! These
are the proofs. What you tried for
years to do I have accomplished at a
single term OF court. Now, may 1 have
your daughter?"
The old fellow looked up with a smile
upon his face as he replied:

have my daughter. But will just give
you little gratuitous advice. 1t is true

crime. They want to plead guilty, SO
they say and begin serving their sentence

DR. Horton left Sioux Falls hur-

The doctor is a pensioner, and Mrs.
Horton discovered that he was drawing
his pension from the Topeka Office. Then
she wrote 10 all the district CLERKS in the
territory of the Topeka office, asking them
TO look out for him in filling out vouch-

When District Clerk Winery received
the letter he turned it over to Under

Turon one day on business. and noticed
stranger bearing q remarkable likeness
to the description of the man from Sioux

and discovered that it was Tu1on's new

Mr.. Metz kept his own council. but

The Use of Naptha-

The greatest care should be observed
in the use of naptha, which, while a
most valuable agent to clean delicate
Iaces, light silks and ribbons, is a very
dangerous liquid. 1t is so extremely
volatile that ignition will take place
even when it is removed by the dis
lance across a room from a light, and
it never should be used except in the
day time Articles cleansed by this
means should be promptly and thor
oughly aired 1t is a good plan, the
Commercial bulletin suggests, when the
weather permits, to do the cleaning out
of doors, leaving even the thing cleansed
outside for a longer airing. The need
of this was recently emphasized to an
uptown woman, VINO washed a num-
Der of gloves, some 1aces and ribbons,
and fearing to leave them around the
room, as she was called away before
they were aired, bundled them into a
bex, which she shut up in trunk in a
closet. Later, she sent a maid to get
them out, who took lighted candle to
the closet for the search. When the
trunk was opened a slight explosion

of the gas from the naptha had been
generated and held in the confined
space to ignite as the candle fame ap-
preached. No serious results followed.

DELcIoUs REED BIRDS.
Only Philadelphians Know How to Cook
and Eat Them.

Only PhiIadeIphlaas Know How to Cook
and Eat Them.
Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reed bird can be found
in a state of overrunning obesity, and
the only place where it can be cooked
to perfection. In New York the French
cooks conceal its delicate toothsome-
ness in rich dressing. There they know
as little about reed birds as they do
about terrapin, scrappIe and pepper
pot. Recently there was given in this
city dinner in which reed birds were
served in thirteen different forms
Among the courses were soup made
from reed birds, birds stuffed with blue
point oysters, reed birds placed in
side hollow potato and roasted, reed
birds stuffed with herb filling and
baked, reed birds stewed with fresh
mushrooms, reed Thirds split and broiled
an abominable practice. by the way
reed birds saute and a seeming pie,
from which, when the crust was lifted,
two dozen reed birds rev forth and
around the room. But, after all, there
is only one way to cook and eat the
succulent reedies-sautei Select birds
which have little clumps of yellow fat
on both sides of the part last over the
fence. Place them in a saucepan-or,
better still, a chatting dish-with
plenty of the best butter. salt, black
pepper and plentiful sprinkling of pap
rika-the sweet ungarian pepper which
nowadays can be found in any first
class grocery. They must not be split
and their heads must not be removed.
Cook them for five to six minutes. &C
cording to the size of the bird and the
heat of the fire but do not allow the
yellow fat to become Drowned. Moth
ing could be simpler, and yet, very few,
cooks can prepare a reed bird without
destroying its toothsomeness. There
is an art also in the eating of his dain-
tiness. but it can only be applied to
birds OF the character and prepared IN
the manner described above. Wiring
off the head and sink your teeth into
and absorb the brains. Then hold the
little darling aloft by the protruding
bones of both legs, and, slipping him
into a watering mouth, crunch your way
through his carcass until not a bit of
him remains but the leg bones. Then
cast your eyes above and say Grace.
That's eating reed birds, that is.

board fence, and with loud snarl of rage
he aimed the ladder for it. The upper
end, with Mrs. Wigglesworth upon it,
caught the fence top, slid with its impetus
partially over, and then its free esd flung
itself into the air and Mrs. WiggIesworth,
with loud shrek, disappeared from view

'TfoorayI' screamed the audience by

TIRESOME SELF CONCEIT.
FOrcer Turner Comes Back from States
Prison Without Contrition.

Prison without Contritiou.
Ralph B. Turner alias NJ. K. Teal,
forger of checks on Topeka business
men seems to be disappointed because
Governor Morrill, and staff with Mayor
Fellows and the city council did not
meet him at the depot last night with
MarshalPs band when he arrived from
the penitentiary.
Forger Turner puts on as many airs as
if he had just returned from two years
in the studios of Europe instead of in
side the walls of the Kansas state peni-
Tertiary wearing striped clothes and
a shaved head.
The self conceit of this penitentiary
bird is something marvellous. He says:
~ have come back to Topeka and have
come TO stay. AS soon as l can sea my
way, l intend giving a lecture on Prison
Life and Why 1t Does Not Reform l
will give some inside facts from the
starting of the institution up to today. 1
intend prac.icing law iu Topeka. l want
to get in some lawyers Office and will
read law and seek to be admitted to the
bar as soon as possible. Since being in
the penitentisry l have devoted all my
spare time to reading law and the study
of social problems"
Topeka has enough ex-convicts of her
own, and does not need any more of that
class.
Before Turner attempts to go into the
reform business here he had better
square himself with his deserted wife,
aud then go to Colorado and live down
some of the crookedness he was implica-
ted in before he passed worthless checks
on Topeka merchants. Besides. the To-
peka bar has plenty of respectable young
men who can do all the business at pres
emf. Judge Hazen has just disbarred
one criminal.
