THELITTLE HUMORIST.
Marshall p. Wilder Amuses Small
Audience at tho Y. NJ. G.. A.

Marshall p. Wilder, the famous little
humorist of New York city. whose
reputation is high throughout the coun-
try, was the attraction at Young Mems
Christian association hall last night.
where he was assisted by Frank =.
Banta. of New York, pianist. and tue
Lyric Male quartette of this city. The
audience was not in numbers a very
great compliment for one so entertain
ing as Wilder. for instead of a full
house, possibly not over $50 persons
were present.
The programme consisted of eight
numbers. which included three mono-
logues by Wilder, four vocal selections
and a piano solo by Mr.. Banta. who is
the humorist's personal friend. What
Wilder talked about or to describe how
he talked is quite impossible. He lik-
ened the trip from New York over the
Lackawanna road to a trip on an ocean
liner. and on this one topic kept the ali-
dience convulsed for several minutes.
The new woman. the opera, the
weather. politics. Venezuela and nu-
merous other subjects came to him as
naturally as steel to a magnet. and out
of each he turned from humor to
pathos and from pathos to wit with
the versatility for. which he Is famous.
The only regret connected with the
entertainment was that a large num-
her missed one Of the best Of the season.

lie Would Not Reveal the Object Of His

"Billy" Barnie. last years manager Of

Scranton yesterday after having signed
at Wilkes Barre Frank Bonner for To-
rOnto. Bonner played second base for
Wilkes Barre during the latter part
of last season. The reason for Barnie's
presence here has not, been ascertained.
He made no visit to II. p. Simpson. the
most prominent of the new owners of
the Scranton club. and when ques-
toned by reporter had no eX-
PLANTATION to make beyond the
fact that he came here on per-
sonal business connected with his resi-
dence In Scranton last year. He said
he would be in the base ball business
during the coming season but declined
to say whether as manager or in what
city. The impression has for several
months prevailed that Barnie has a
financial interest in the Toronto club
and will manage it during the coming
season. G ~ '.

It is not a matter for regret, main.
tains the American Agriculturist, that
the promotion Of horse meat as an ar
ticle of food has proved a failure. The
Oregon packing concern which last
year began the slaughter of range
horses has quit the business after a
series of unsuccessful attempts to find
q market for the 1000 animals handled.
Several tons of the picked horse meat
shipped to Japan was refused and
finally thrown into the ocean, and
consignments to Europe met with as
chilly reception. As long as good
beef, mutton and pork can be secured
1t such reasonable figures, both at
home and abroad, consumers have no
use for flesh from broken down horses
or wild mustang ponies. With better
breeding and broader market, the
development of the horse industry is
bound to be in an entirely different
channel. 1t ia a fact, however, that
horse meat is excellent for poaltry,
and constitutes the bulk OF the poul-
try meat or concentrated feed that ia
largely used with srGh excellent re.

spiced Apples-Pare and cut in
quarters six small tart apples and put
in saucepan with one white sugar and
three cloves. Boil gently till fruit is
transparent. Serve cold.
Fried Fish Cutlets-Cut six outlets
from large salmon trout; roll in bread
crumbs, season with salt and pepper
and fry in hot fat. Dish on hot plat.
ter and cover with cream sauce.
Macedoine Salad-One cupful of
cold boiled potatoes sliced, half cup
of celery stalks cut in pieces, a few
cold string beans (if you have theml,
one or two slices of onion and little
raw cabbage cut fine. Lime the salad
bowl with lettuce leaves, heap vegeta-
BILE mixture on these and cover with
French dressing. This is good way
to use any cold vegetable, as nearly
any kind may be added to the salad.
Puree Of Split Peas--one cup split
peas soaked over night in cold water.

INSECTS ON HOUSE PLANTS.

The red spider and green fly are the
principal carse of SO many window and
greenhouse plants looking sickly at
this season of the year. The leaves
turn yellowish and finally fall of. The
dry air of the living room is just what
suits these pests. If the plant can be
sprayed frequently with an atomizer,
these insects will not multiply as rap
idly as when it is omitted, but where
furnace heats the house the effects
of the spraying will not last very long.
Spraying the plants with decoction
of tobacco, or kerosene emulsion,
will save:them if applied in time. II
is also a good plan to place tobacco
stems on the soil all around the, plants.
These act not only as an instscticide
but also as fertilizer. Wien the
plants are grown in boxes IL ID good
plan to cover the entire soil with to-
bacco stems. On outdoor roiIe beds,
they are Invaluable, serving not only
as a mulch, but as fertilizer, and in
secticide as well. New England

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
GLAZING STARCH.

One of the best methods of prepar-
ing a good glazing starch at home is
to take, for every 100 parts of pure
dry starch, three.quarters of one part
of stearine. Melt the stearine with
about ten times its weight of the
starch. Let it cool, crush and mix
thoroughly with the rest of the starch
powder. This capital material may be
appropriately used for collars, shirts.
cuffs, ssetc., but if employed for table
linen and other goods not requiring to
be very stif1y glazed, little ordinary
starch solution should be added. Some
clever laundresses who are possessed OF
the necessary expe1tness prefer to
glaze their starch solution by stirring
it while hot with paraffin or tallow
candle, or by throwing into it few
small pieces of white loaf sugar.

relief OF the expedition, the route
laaing across the desert from Suakim.
Gordon reached Khartum in the spring
of 1884 and there, without reinforce
ments, he and his brave troops were
butchered by the Mahdists. Thus
ended the fatal Soudan campaign, and
the people of England have never
forgiven the Government for thus
leaving the intrepid Gordon and his
men to their awful fate. The battle
was left drawn, the Mahdists retiring
into the Soudan, and the remnant OF
English troops being withdrawn.
Thus england has an old dscore to settle.
The most authentic reports testify
that the military power of the Nah
dists has greatly declined under the
Khalifa, the successor to the original
Mahdi. Slatin Pasha places q very
low estimate on their army, and it is
probable they cannot hold out long
against machine guns and other
modern methods of warfare.
