TO THE CATERPILLAR

Ugh. but thou art a cause for wonder
Whether Nature didn't blunder
When thy "crawly' self was made:
Nasty, wriggling, fuzzy ''cuss.''
The books call ''lepidopterous"
That makes us all afraid.
Tying knots on dreary trees,
Or gently swinging in the breeze,
To drop on us below;
Blasting bloom upon the flowers,
Doing mischief every hour,
Availing naught but woe
Turn thy filthy face toward "Sheol."
And hump thyself down to the devil.
Thou sickening worm:
Verify the imps Of darkness,
Now writhing under duress,
VIII then learn to squirm

overcoat of the season by someone's
mistaking his elegant coat for Il much
worn one. The councillor from the

accustomed peg upon entering thr
council chamber, and when he went to
get it upon being ready to ~ home.

Private Secretary Oramandal Smith
then assumed the role of executive de-
tective and began an unsuccessful
search for the coat. He compiled :. list
of names of those present and saw
many personally. Others he sent word
to. but M to the last accounts he had
found no trace of the man who unin-
tentionally. no doubt, made the ex-
change.
Considering the fact that this is Mr.

The year 1898 has been the banner
year for new trusts incorporated in
New Jersey. The capital of all those
incorporated this year amounts to
$3.50, 100, 000 nearly one-half of the en-
tire capitalization of all trusts incor-
porated since 1882.

STEUBENVILLE INDUSTRIAL.

Steubenville, O., January mo town
in the Ohio Valley of the same size and
many larger can boast OF the same pro-
gress and the extent of improvements
that Mingo Junction lays claim to. All
in a way was brought about by the
monster Improvements erected by the
Aetna-Standard, which gave all the cit
liens of that town evidence OF its fu-
ture prosperity and stability. About
twentS residences were erected in
Mingo Junction the past year; also sew
eral business blocks, representing an
expenditure of $4,000. The Parochial
school building was erected at cost
of $500. Natural gas was piped into
the town and is generally used. A
water works and electric light plant
was erected at a cost of $25 1000. The
town gets a good surSy OF river water
and is we'll lighted. At the Aetna
Standard plant a converting mill and
blooming mill were erected and new
Sterling water tube boilers put in ev-
erywhere; many other expensive mod
ern improvements were made, all rep
resenting an outlay of 100000, and
nearly as mucn will be expended in
other improvements next year.
The feature this week in pottery
lines was the service of papers from the
Cincinnati court to restrain the Steu-
benville Pottery Co. and the American
China Co., at Toronto, from entering
the trust because it was contrary to
statutes. The service was made on
both plants too late as the trust had
charge of the plants since the transfer
on January 1St. The American China
Co. officers got wind of the sheriff
coming, and vacated the Office, so they
were not personally served by the
sheriff. There is a question whether
service by leaving the papers under the
office door and serving one on the
Superintendent will hold.
w. H. Banfield reports chat the
Irondale tin mill is to be operated
stronger under the trust regime than
ever before; that his company did not
care to go in, but it was case of
go in or go in the face of certain ruin.
Receiver J. c. Bigger has disposed
of the stock of the Steubenville Glass
Co., 125 barrels of gold decorated glass
ware, to Stark & Leech.
The pottery employees here are very
dubious about the future under trust
management.
Judge Mansfield has made an order
at Chambers for the continuance of the
lease of the Jefferson iron works fur
mace to the Aetna-Standard until jan
uary /, 1900.
Pittsburg parties have leased 200
acres of coal land on Kings Creek, in

to return for a whole year. Even
grown folks feel this anticipation and
happiness. However we must confess
that it is not alone the anticipation of
gifts that we shall receive, but the
good things which we are to eat. The
ancients were not so much to be laugh
ed at who considered the stomach the
seat of our noblest faculties and af-
fections. AS we have become satiated
with sweets and rich sauces. my menu
for tomorrow consists of things that
are directly opposite to the diet we
have been subsisting upon for the past
weeks, such edibles as beans, onions
and the like will be thoroughly enjoy
ed after such feasting. Oysters, of
course, are eaten under all circum-
stances, whether for a great banquet or
for the plainest meal, and the oyster
stew will prove very palatable and
strengthening for the lunch. Some
writer has said that if wealth does not
bring happiness oysters do; try the
following oyster stew and you will find
that he is not far wrong:
Strain all the liquor from quart
of oysters, heat it, and when it comes
to boil season il highly with salt and
pepper and lump of butter; have
boiling pint of good, rich milk and
pour this into the boiling liquor, stir
we'll together and in a few minutes add
the oysters; let this cook slowly for
about FIVE minutes and serve hot with
fresh crackers After it has all cooked
together taste to see If it has the
proper seasoning, and If not, add more.
Peanut Sandwiches-ChoD the pea
nuts very fine, pour over them a little
melted butter and add a dash OF salt:
place between thin slices of bread
either buttered or plain. Peanut and
cheese sandwiches are very appetizing;
they may be made as follows: Shell
sufficient fresh peanuts TO make cup
full when chopped, sprinkle with some
salt and mix them with enough cream
cheese TO hold them together and
spread between thin squares of bread.
Potatoes and cream-Cut some cold
boiled potatoes in small pieces, have
in the skillet little melted butter. and

necessary middlemen. What we call the
second stage of agricultural organization
is reached by the federation of local So
cieties into central bodies for larger trade
purposes Thus the Irish Cooperative
Agency Society undertakes the marketing
of butter, poultry and eggs for the dairy
ing societies, and the Agricultural Whole
sale Society farming requisites for It's
members These two federations are con-
stituted on the same lines as the English
and Scottish Wholesale Societies. Up to
the present time 2S3 societies, scattered
throughout every county in Ireland, with

ers. mostly heads of families, have been
registered. while some twenty more are in
course of formation" Mr.. Plunkett
