A Cooking Thermometer.

A cooking thermometer IS one Of the
blessings of the modern household.
Every housekeeper knows that temper
allure is the secret of successful cook
ing, and these useful little articles
keep strict account Of what the oven is
doing. The exact temperature at
which different food preparations
should be cooked is being taught by the
new methods, and the woman VINO
trusts to intuition is or ought to be
shelved. Intuition is good thing,
safe thing to follow in the matter Of
choosing friends, and, perhaps, in
few other cases, but not in cooking.
Trust nothing but actual hard facts
and the results will reward you. The
cooking thermometer brings success
not only with bread, but with cake and
pastry. Meat cannot receive much in
jury from it's absence, since degree
more or less in cooking is hardly no.

Some Noted PitcherA.

It is claimed that Martie Bergen
makes his reputation on the rocking
chair pitchers he catches. Nichols
throws him a ball in a groove and all
Bergen has to do is to stop it, reverse
the slant Of the shoot and send it back,
his rivals claim. Lewis is another boy
who hands the ball up. There have
been a great many catchers break into
the League in bygone days who have
made great names working with GER
tain pitchers. Even Buck Ewing him
self in his palmy days had men pitch
ing to him that made his work, as far
as the receiving end Of it went, pure
10y. Keefe had all the twisters and
benders of his decade, but his ball
wasn't of the ripping, tearing kind that
numbed mems hands. WEIGH was an
other of the same style. Old Silver
Flint probably had as troublesome a

timers. Griffith, Maui and Nichols are

Rusie is different, owing to his high

If some public spirited gentle

Need of Covering During Sleep.


The reason that it is necessary to be
well covered while sleeping is that
when the body lies down it is the in
tention of nature that it should rest,
and the heart especially should be re-
lieved of it's regular work temporarily
So that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body is in an
upright posture. This means 600
stokes in sixty minutes. Therefore, in
the eight hours that a man usually
spends in taking his nights rest, the
heart is saved nearly five thousand
strokes. AS it pumps six ounces OF
blood with each stroke, it lifts 10000
ounces less of blood in this nights ses-
sion than it would during the day,
when a man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for it's warmth on the vigor of the cir
culation, and as the blood flows so
much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra coverings.-"Even-
ing Wisconsin"

Last week at Chillicothe queer
case was decided. The circuit
court reversed the verdict of COM
mon pleas court in the celebrated
libel suit of w. w. Brown against
George Clough. Nearly a year ago
Clough published an open letter in
which he averred that Browns feet
were very defensive and the latter
sued for $1,000 damages. He was
awarded $7S7 by common pleas
court, but the circuit court while 1t
held that the publication was just
cause for libel, reversed the decision
of the lower court because the court
had permitted the introduction of
evidence prejudicial to Clough and
which had nothing to do with the
case under consideration.

ous Runaway.

William Bracken, young man
and a laborer in the local fields,
was one of the principals in runa.
way accident last night, which ter
minated very fortunately. so far as
personal injury was concerned.
Bracken hired team at the Law
renee stables, and in company with
two young ladies started, presuma-
ably, for Middlebourne. Before
starting on the journey he imbibed
freely of intoxicants and was in no
fit condition for the handling Of a
spirited team.
In making the turn at the first
toll gate, the sleigh was overturr ed
and the occupants unseated. For
tunately the young ladies and their
escort escaped unscathed, and re-
traced their way to the city. Upon
reaching here a single rig was
brought into service, and the chase
started for the runaways.
The horses were found without
any serious injuries, at Morey's no.
tel. Inmates of this house had
been awakened by the horses
running at fill speed over the
bridge leading to the stables and
taking in the situation at once, went
out and got the frightened equines
under control. Hardly vestfge of
the sleigh remained. This afternoon
Bracken made good the damage
which had been wrought.

Very Funny.

Many queer things. happen in this
this vale of woe, and recently a
very odd thing happened in this
city. SIX of the applicants for city
mail carriers in this city passed the
civil service examination and four
only could have an Office, as that
was all that was needed at this time.
Four of the successful applicants
were republicans and two were
democrats, and now comes the
funny part OF the business four
republicans were selected and nary
a democrat. Very funny, wasn't ii?
But by and by this funny business
may be changed around.
This is cited to demonstrate
what a gigantic fraud this civil ser
vice business is. The people of
this country decided two years ago
they wanted the republicans to
govern them and we believe the
people who compose that party
should hold every Office from mail
carriers up, and then if we do not
like their administration we CO n
turn them out, but we can get alor g
very nicely without any civil Ser
vice business.
