LIVELY BULL SOLD.

Greencastle Press.
An infuriated bull created a
panic at the sale of George W..
Kuhn in Antrim township. The
bull, a young animal, had been
placed ON the block for sale.
While the bidders were busy cry
ing out prices to the auctioneer
the bull broke from his keeper
and charged into the crowd,
knocking down a number of buy
ers. Before they could recover
from their fright the animal
rushed into a yard, in which were
a number of teams, causing a
panic among the animals. Then
the enraged animal plunged into
a field and started ON a mad fight
over the acres. The sale pro-
ceeded while the bull s owner was
pursuing him, and was knocked
down to a buyer just as he was
disappearing over a hill. He was
captured later and turned over to
the purchaser.

knocked at the door Of Republi-

that the Republicans of Bedford

the consequence is there is a "hot

BETTER THAN COOK BOOKS.

Cook books are all very well in
their way, and many would be
the mistakes made if they did not
exist, but nothing can take the
place of experience. A girl who
is totally ignorant of the first
principles of cooking will make
many mistakes, even when pro
vided with the best of cook books,
because she will not know how tc
use good Judgment in her work,
The secret Of good cooking is
first Of all, strict attention to ex
act measurements, then care ir
following the rules in cooking
Good, nourishing soup cannot be
made from the ragged ends OF
dried-up meat, that has had all
the substance cooked out of it,
nor can good coffee be made from
luke-warm water, no matter how
expensive or how good the coffee
may be.
For nutritious soup, take fresh
meat and bones, add a sufficient
quantity of clear cold water,
then add the necessary season
ings and watch the simmering
carefully. The scum must not
be allowed to remain, but should
be frequently removed. The pot
should be kept tightly covered,
except when necessary to remove
the lid.
TO make good coffee it is neces-
sary to have fresh boiling water;
not that which has stood in the
kettle all night and brought to
the steaming point over a slow
fire the next morning. Tho ket-
tie should be emptied and wash
ed ont, freshly filed in the morn
ing and placed over the bright
hot fire SO that it quickly comes
to the boiling point For u quart
pot full of boiled coffee take three
heaping tablespoonfuls OF fresh
ly ground coffee. Take the white
Of an egg and pour over it six
tablespoonfuls OF cold water fresh
from the cooler, put it on the coi-
fee, mixing well together Stand
the rest Of the egg and water in
the refrigerator until coffee is
again TO be made. When the ket-
tie is boiling furiously, ill the
pot nearly TO the top, allowing
room for the boiling. Boil stead
lily for ten minutes then stand
back for o moment until the cof-
fee settles. You will have coffee
as clear as amber if this receipt
is carefully followed.

question, or TO attend to some
other duty, at the same time en-
deavoring to disentanglc his fiu-
gers from the sticky stuff by
wipirg them Upon his pantaloors,
he succeeded ia placing before
his hungry, but admiring mess,
several delicious blackberry pies.
True, they were not very short
and crisp, for they were compos-
ed only of flour, water and black
berries, but short pie-crust was
not wholesome for persons ac-
customed to so little outdoor ex-
ercise. The subject of discus
sion while at dinner was, whether
the jolly baker had not as much
dough upon his trousers as in the
pies! Ah,' says Eiker, my
mouth watered when / looked
upon those pies, and waters yet
whenever | think of them. But
il McGrath had one speciality over
another it was in making In
dian Puddings. Coming in one
day with near peck of black
berries, we inquired what he was
going to do with them? The de-
lectable idea of blackberry pies
danced before our imagination.
Never you mind, said he, I'll
show you. After mixing the
meal and making up the dough,
and putting in the blackberries,
a halt was called. A bag was
necessary to boil it in. What
was to be done now? Mac set
his wits to work to get over this
difficulty, and after considerable
beating around, a happy thought
suggested itself to him. A pair
OF drawers belonging to some one
OF the prisoners was seen hang
ing on the wall. No sooner did
these come under his notice than
he was out of his trouble. What
use has person for the luxury
Of drawers in Jail? And why put
on such appendages of civilization
and gentility when all could not
have the same? Taking out his
knife he cut off one leg, washed
it and put the pudding in and it
soon was boiled and ready for
use. Mac says the pudding bag
was not exactly to his liking
when he put it il the pot, but
when he took it out it was white
and clean. But now another di-
lemma confronted them. Indian
pudding, even though so artistic
ally made, was not savory dish
without sauce. Where was that
to be had? Wine was out of the
but DR.. Kaufman
thought commissary whiskey
would answer, and as he was act
ing as assistant surgeon and
had access to the drug and med
icine department, he borrowed of
the Confedoracy a small quantity
and the bill of fare was complete.
When the pudding, favored with
the doctors captured whiskey,
was set before the admiring mess
it was unanimously decided that
it was an improvement even upon
Macs pies. Surely such genius
as Mr.. McGrath displayed in ca
tering to his mess Is worthy of
everlasting remembrance, and so
far as | can do so give him this
immortality of fame"
Some of the party, including
Mr., Eiker, made unsuccessful at
tempts to escape from Salisbury
in December, 1864, being return
ed to prison after a month of free
dom. Later they succeeded in
escaping. Mr.. McGrath was
precluded from sharing in these
by the terms Of his pa
role, and he was not released un-
ill the latter part of March, 1865.
"Stone walls do not a prison
Make" quoted the prison visitor.

TRAINING A CHILD.

The training of child should
begin as soon as it is born. Any
mother knows how soon a habit
is formed with her child, and it
is just as easy to form a good
habit in a child as it is to form a
habit that will give every one
trouble and inconvenience. If
the nurse gives the child the hab-
it of being carried by the hour,
this habit will be SO firmly fixed
that by the time that the nurse
leaves that father and mother
may spend the next few months
walking the floor with the son
and heir in his arms. If, on the
contrary, the child is allowed to
remain on the bed, where it is far
more comfortable, a good child
may reasonably be expected
This is the first habit that is usu-
ally formed.
The next habit is the crying for
everything that is wanted. A
child should not be allowed to-
form this habit, for it's own hap
piness, as well as for the happi-
ness of all around it. A child
knows very soon whether father
and mother are to be obeyed, on
it is to have everything that it
happens to want A child at six
months is fully capable of under
standing whether no means no or
not, and on this point a mother
should be very careful.
No child should be overburden-
ed, but by the time it is a year
and a half old, some very light
duties should devolve upon it.
AT this age a child should be ex-
pected to pick up it's own toys,
and to put away it's clothes on it's
return from an outing. A low
drawer should be given to the
child for it's coat and other be-
longings, and upon its return
from an outing the drawer should
be opened for it, and it should be
taught to carefully place its rub
bers in q small box intended for
them; it's cap in another box, and
it's coat, mittens and other wraps
laid smoothly and carefully in
place.
Let a child help itself as much
as possible, and you will make a
self-reliant child Of it, rather
than one Of those helpless chill
dren that one so often sees. SO
with the toys When done play
ing, let the child pick up each
block and put it IN its own box
A child who has been thus
trained is pleasure to everyone.
One very bad habit that is given
the child by the mother is in be-
slowing too many playthings up !
on it. Give it but one plaything
at a time, and when this has been
returned to the box, another can
be brought out. You win find
that child will be far less ner-
vous and restless when thus
trained than when given a multi
tude of toys to cast away at a
moments notice from sheer
weariness of overabundance.

Orbisonia Dispatch.
1t appears that the traps set by
hunters for wild animals some
times make peculiar catches. A
week ago in referring to a catch
made by trapper John Swope, of
Alexandria, it was noted that
'1arge wild cat" broke the chain
OF one trap and got away. Later
Developments indicate that the
wild cat was a valuable hound be-
longing to John Hewitt, of Wood
cock valley, which was found in
the trap by Charles Stewart, who
was attracted by the cries Of the
animal. The poor beast had evi-
IDENTIFY been in the trap for at
least a week, and when found one
leg was frozen as stiff as
stone. There is considerable
feeling over this setting Of traps
for game, and when domestica-
ted animal happens to fall vic
tim, as in this case it would indi-
cate that little humanity is OBJ
served by those who use this
means to catch animals, or else
these traps would be looked af-
ter more frequently and the vic
TINS caught be more speedily put
out of misery.

WASHINGTON'S MORALS.

1t was inevitable that a man occupy
ing Washington's high position should
be assailed on the point of his moral
character. AS a matter Of fact, he
came in for such bitter and minutely
circumstantial attacks from his tory
enemies that even to this day there is
an undertow of suspicion that his life
in this respect would not bear inspec-
ton too minute.
But on the other hand there is the
testimony to the contrary of those
near him and who knew him best.
That he was a great admirer of hand
some women is sufficiently shown in
his own writings. Furthermore it is
clearly shown that he was man to
whom women were attracted.
He has left behind him even more
than the usual wake Of woebegone
youthful love sentimentality. He even
dropped into verse on the subject, as
two very dreadful compositions sur
vive to attest. All through his life his
regard for women and for the balls,
routs and other gay assemblages
where women appear at their best man
| Tested itself. He speaks again and
again in his correspondence Of these
events, and always with a certain kind
| of youthful enthusiasm. On the sub
! iect of his early love episodes and of
his marriage and married life Ford
gives many curious details. He says:
There can be no doubt that Wash
| ington during the whole of his life
| had a soft heart for women, and es-
pecially for good-looking ones, and
! both in his personal intercourse and in
his letters he showed himself very
much more at ease with them than
in his relations with his own sex.
Late in life when the strong passions
of his earlier years were under better
control, he was able to write: Love is
said to be an involuntary passion, and
it is, therefore, contended that it can
not be resisted. This is true in part
only, for like all things else, when
nourished and supplied plentifully with
aliment, it is rapid in it's progress but
let these be withdrawn and it may be
strangled in it's birth or much stinted
in it's growth. For example, a woman
(the same may be said of the other
sex) all beautiful and accomplished
will while her hand and heart are
undisposed of turn the heads and set
the circle in which she moves on fire
Let her marry, and what is the con-
sequence. The madness ceases and al
is quiet again. Why? Not because
there is any diminution in the charms
of the lady, but because there is al
end Of hope. Hence it follows that
love may and therefore ought to be
under the guidance of reason. Fol-
although we cannot avoid first impress
sions, we may assuredly place them
under guard"
When he saw in the premature en-
gagement of his ward, Jack Gusts, the
one advantage that it would Gin {
great measure avoid those little hirta
| tions with other young ladies tina
