The Rev. T.. j. Lee, who discov-
cred and disclosed the theft of the
sermon which DR.. Morgan preached
in New York ON Easter Sunday, has
been accused of the same offense.
He is charged with cribbing the
class ode he prepared for commence
ment when he graduated from Yale,
from poem of Rev. Dryden Phelps.
The similarity of thought and phras-
ing is rather remarkable in the first
stanza, beyond that the coincidence
does not go. Whether Mr.. Lee ap-
propriated the thought and in part
the language of Rev. Phelps in his
poem. does not alter the fact in re-
gard to DIR. Morgan. It is natural
as a rule for college boys to evade
the labor of originating their literary
productions, while they have great
ambitions to be considered as high
ly original. There is no need TO apo
logize for Mr.. Lee, apparently he
has been hoist with his own petard,
let him come down as gracefully as
he can. His offense does not miti
gate or palliate that of DR.. Morgan
who it is evident appropriated an
entire sermon, and his excuse that
he was oveIweary is no defence for
his wholesale deception. Nor is DIR.
Morgan's or Mr.. Lees lapsus, any
serious charge against the clergy.
They are but human and occasional
ly one will err. If they can present
truth as formulated by others more
effectively than in their own langu-
ate it is pardonable and no discredit
of.

THE LADIES' COLUMN.

We wish to suggest to the ladies
that this column is always open to
any and all who wish to suggest
domestic subjects of any nature
whatever, either to ask advice or
furnish information TO others, and
we earnestly hope all readers of the
Press and who desire will avail
themselves of the opportunity, and
thus receive as well as confer bene-
fits.
To REMOVE INK FROM PAPEs -
Take a teaspoon of chlorinated lime
and pour on it enough water to COW
er, take piece of old linen and mois-
ten by putting on it. Do not rub.
If one application does not remove
the stain let the paper dry and ap-
ply again.
A COOP COUGH REMEDY An ex-
cellent remedy for a cough is made
by slicing two lemons thin and add
ing ten cents worth of whole flax
seed, ten cents worth of licorice root
and one gill of water, some sugar,
boil until quite thick and strain.
Take frequently teaspoonful of the
mixture.
AN ALL-NIGHT CANDLE "A small
piece of candle may be made to burn
all night by putting finely powdered
salt on it until it reaches the black
part of the wick. An even light
may be kept this way.
PLANKED SHAD We have been
requested to furnish q recipe for
''planked shad." Procure an oak
plank two and half inches thick,
this should be made smooth and
slightly followed on one side. Place
in the oven until very hot. Split the
shad in halves down the back ana
lay on the plank skin side next to
plank. Season with salt and pepper,
put bits of butter all over it and
bake until a deep brown. Garnish
with parsley and slices of lemon.
Epicures think shad should never
be cooked in any other way, and it
is considered quite proper to serve
at table on the plank which is placed
on a china meat or fish plate.
SHAD ROE OMELETTE One large
fresh shad roe break up thoroughly
in bowl removing all skin, season
with salt, pepper and parsley.
Break in it two eggs and two table
spoons melted butter. Fry in hot

WHERE TO ADVERTISE.

A little booklet bound in red, size
l%x2 inches by W. D. Boyce, of
Chicago, called Census figures for
advertisers" giving some interesting
facts. The population of the United
States by the last report is 62, ,622, 80,
and the average number of persons
to each family, 5.5 subdivided as
follows:

The percentage of the three classes
being Urban, 279I; Suburban, 56 ;
Rural, 1e1Z.
The book says that the 27I per
cent. can be reached by the daily
newspapers, but the great bulk of
the remaining 72H per cent. rely on

Young Men and Marriage.
BY REV. MADISON O. PETERS, D. D.

It is the purpose of this article to
find marks of a true wife by which
young men may be helped in choos-
ing a life-partner. Beginning in the
unromantio fashion, l say to the
young man: You want a good
housekeeper Wife is an Anglo
Saxon word, and means weaver.
Before our great cotton and cloth
factories arose, one of the principal
employments in every home was
the fabrication of clothing; every
family made its own. The wool was
spun into thread by the girls, who
were therefore called spinsters the
thread was woven into cloth by
their mother, who was called the
weaver, or wife.
You don't want doll, or some-
thing too fine, too ethereal, for real
use. The ideals of womanhood in
novels have all their 1oveliness shat
tered in a day by the rough usage of
real life. Wordsworth paints the
woman you want
