IL only takes a glance to show that all
the money spent or to be spent on the
soldiers is s1s5, 900. Deduct this from the
total for the year, and it still leaves the
expenditures for 1883 about a quarter OF
q million in excess of the preceding year,
which was like it's predecessor enormously
above the average of the decade of Demo
cratic rule.
The Sunday Cans d~isingenuously tries
to account for his increase by attribttting
it to the growth of Extraordinary Ex-
penses, meaning thereby State public
works of permanent value. This is a
gross falsehood. There is no notable in
crease In the expenditures on this ac-
cunt. The average since the Appropria-
ton bill system was introduced has been
about half a million a year, and in some
Of the most expensive years, the extra
items have been lowest.

HOW TO COOK HUSBANDS.

An Interesting recipe that may be of
interest to women, especially those
who are married. is here given:
How to Cook Husbands "A good
many husbands are entirely spoiled by
mismanagement in cooking, and so are
not tender and good. Some women
keep them too constantly in hot water;
others freeze them; others put them in
u stew: others roast them, and others
keep them constantly in pickle. 1t
cannot be supposed that any husband
will be good and tender mangled in
this way, but they are really delicious
when properly. treated. In selecting
your husband you should not be guild
ed by a silvery appearance, as in buy
ing mackerel, nor by the golden tint,
as If you wanted salmon. Be sure and
select him yourself, as tastes differ.
Do not go to the market for him, as
those brought to the door are always
best. 1t is far better to have none
than not to learn how to cook them
properly. 1t does not make so much
difference what you cook him in as
how you cook him. See that the linen
in which he is wrapped is white and
nicely mended, with the required num-
Der of strings and buttons. Don't
keep him in the kettle by force, as he
will stay there himself if proper care
is taken. If he splutter or tizz do not
be anxious: some husbands do this.
Add little sugar in the form of what
confectioners call "kisses," but no
vinegar or pepper on any account
A little spice improves them, but it
must be used with judgment. Do not
try him with anything sharp to see ii
he is becoming tender. Stir him gent
ly the while, lest he stay too long in
the kettle and become fiat and taste
less. If thus treated you will find him
very digestible, agreeing nicely with
you, and he will keep as long as you
want.

DEATH OF MRS. AKERS.

Many were the eyes that were moist
ened with tears when the sad intelli-
gence flashed abroad that Mrs. Jennie
MAY Akers, wife of Postmaster James
S. Akers, of Akersville, had passed
over the cold, icy billows of death,
and gone to join her mother and
host of her loved ones who had passed
from life to eternity before her.
Mrs. Akers was a consistent member
of the Christian church for eight years;
her daily walk through health, and the
patience with which she bore the pain
through her long and continued ill
ness, were marks of her christian life
which seemed devoted to her God and
her family.
The deceased has not been a woman
of good health for years; but, until
the latter part of the summer, she was
able to, at least, superintend her work.
When her suffering became intoler-
able, she was taken to the Methodist
hospital in Philadelphia, where she
was treated for about month and a
half, but all that medical skill could
do was only temporary, and she came
back to her home where all was done
that loving hearts and willing hands
could do.
Tuesday morning about one O'Clock
her spirit flew away to the God who
gave it, and on the following day the
body, in beautiful black casket, was
borne from the house to the church by
six young men, followed by host of
relatives and friends. After an inn
pressive funeral sermon founded on
these words" BLESSED are they which
die in the Lord''--her remains were
inferred in the Akersville Cemetery.
The deceased was twenty-nine years,
five months, and twenty-eight days of
age, and leaves to mourn her loss II
devoted husband, two children, Maude,
aged ten years, and Carl, aged eight
years, father, one sister, one broth
er, and great number of relatives
and friends who have the sympathy OF
all who knew her.
