After Labor, Rest.

After haying and harvest there
comes lull in the busy farm life when
all hands have earned, and ought to
have, in turn, some recreation. Surely
everyone can afford "a day off, to
drive to some lake or creek for a days
fishing and picnicing. If You do come
home tired, it's wholesome WEAKNESS
that brings sweeter sleep than a day
spent in the every day round. Do not
tire yourself with elaborate prepare
tons. Plain, wholesome fare tastes
very sweet, eaten under green tree,
and memories of the day need not be
darkened by the dyspepsia induced by
too much cake and cold pie. Make
rolls by adding little butter to por-
ton of bread dough, letting ii rise we'll
and pushing it down with the fingers;
then make in a neat oblong roll, brush
over with eggs to form a crust. Spread
with butter and fill with finely minced
chicken, or whatever meat is at hand.
For carrying them in box is better than
basket as it can be thrown away
when empty, Beside the food, put
old linen napkins. \ bottle of cold
beef tea will strengthen you, or of
lemon juice with the proper amount of
sugar added will be a refreshing addi-
ton to the Ice water.

Political events of the week had no
definite influence upon business pros
poets, for the phenomenal variations in
sterling exchange and the beginning of
imports of gold, although following the
great meeting in Madison Square Gar
den on Tuesday, may be fairly attribu-
ted to the accommodating excess Of mer-
chandise exports over imports, to which
attention has been repeatedly called
exports from New York for the past
two weeks having been 20 per cent.
larger, and imports here p per cent.
smaller than last year. The rapid
movement of grain, and the unusually
early marketing of cotton, tend strongly
to aid the banking syndicate which has
undertaken to regulate foreign ex-
changes.
Withdrawals of money to the interior
are rather large, and commercial loans
are hard to place, and this difficulty
checks many new enterprises and bust
ness in many departments.

Visitor From Japan.

Mr.. II. Ottawa, of Toxic. Japan.
accompanied by Mr.. Trowbridge. of
Ohio, and Ed. O'keefe. of the firm
O,keefe & Orbison, Appleton. were
in our city Tuesday and Wednesday
registered at the Witter House. Mr..
OkaWa is an immensely wealthy
Japanese paper manufacturer. edu-
Gated In England, and now operating
four machine mill in Japan. This
is his second visit to America having
worked one year as a common laborer
in mills at Holyoke. Mass. learning
the paper business. He was in our
cities inspecting the industries at
Biron, South Centralia. Port Edwards
and NekOOSa. as it is his intention to
purchase a full complement of ma
chinery for a mammoth pulp, paper
and sulphite plant soon to be erected
by him at his native heath. Mr..
O'keefe will superintend the con-
structiOn of the new works in Japan.
Ottawa is an intelligent interesting
parsonage and holds strong views on
the financial questions now absorbing
the politics of this country. Coming
from free silver land. he is radically
opposed to the cheap metal, says gold
is best, and ina short talk can advance
lessons enough to cure the most rabid
free silver advocate. He summed up
the silver situation in a few words
the other day at Appleton when he
said:
In my country d machine-tender
gets Is cents a day in silver, equal to
Il cents a day in gold. In this coun-
try he gets $500 a day in gold In
Japan it takes a machine-tender
twelve days to earn enough to buy 100
pounds OF the paper he turns off his
machine. In America only one day.
| should not think the American
workman would want free silver. AS
an employer, living in Japan, | am
well enough content with a silver
basis. | sell my paper for cents a
pound III gold and pay wages in silver
worth half as much in gold. | buy
my raw materials with silver, but my
product | sell for gold, the same as
you. You must pay gold for your
material-twice as much as | pay.
AS far as | am personally concerned,
free silver in America would also be a
good thing for me. | am buying
much machinery here. Suppose |
buy a paper machine for $4,000. If
you adopt free silver when | come tC
pay for that machine one year from
now | cen take s., 800 worth of silver
bring it here and you must put youl
government stamp on it and take it
for $4,000. | make little money by
that, don't T." And Mr.. Ottawa
smiled slyly. If the machine is
worth to me $4,000 in gold, ought
not to be glad to get it for s., 300 il
silver if your people are kind enough
to give me the chance?"

Lost a Finger.

Miss Ella Wasser, daughter of
blacksmith ChaS. WaSser Centralia.
has been troubled for some time back
with small. hard tumors. commonly
both hands. The young lady was in
Structed by friends to use carbOlic
acid on the unpleasant formations
which would burn and destroy the
roots of same. making it possible to
remove the warts.
One evening. little more than two
weeks ago, Miss WaSser saturated two
cloths in carbOlic acid, wrapped them
around the fingers and retired for the
night. On awakening in the morn
ing she was frightened to find that
the dOctOred members had turned
black as coal and were apparently
burned to death. This proved true
on the right hand. The finger and
even the bone dried up. Saturday
last amputatiOn at the third Joint
was performed by Dr. y. L. Ridgman.
On the left fOretinger fortunately
very narrow cloth had been wound
and DR.. Ridgman has succeeded in
saving the member, though a deep
scar will remain. CarbOlic acid seems
to kill as it goes, without pain, and
should be used most Sparingly with
bare hands. Miss Wasser'S warts are
surely, but sadly removed and the
sympathy of her many friends is eX-
tended in this unfortunate case.

The 'BlueS.'

Have you ever had the blues. Have
you ever experienced the time when
the whole world seemed dark, when
you felt that there was not friend left
to you-when you. scowled upon the
world, considering that it had used you
unfairly? Have you grown jealous,
morose, ill-tempered, uukind? Those
are symptoms of blues, and for the
disease there is only one remedy
work!
If nobody will give yon work, make
it. If you are a man, chop wood,
clean your bicycle, cut the grass in
your front yard, clean out the cellar,
move the furniture around your room,
or run a mile; if you are woman,
make your last years hat or dress over,
find a new recipe for cake and try it;
search through your husbands cloth
ing for mending to do. Do something
that is work, not play at work. Do
something that you don't want to do,
and when it's done the blues will have
fed.

Happiness in the Home.

Happiness of home begins, if it does
not end in order and occupation. In a
house where nothing is to hand and
nothing is done in time, there is per-
petual sense of dislocation and discom-
fort which ruins all thought of happi-
ness. When you cannot have what you
want, and when nothing is in the place
where it should be, how can it be ex
pected that your temper will stand
the strain? Bad Housekeeping is worse
ohense than it is generally considered.
