M,GoYERN AND RoBERTs.

Tomorrow night is the time limit set for receiving bids for the match ar ranged month ago between Terry McGovern and Jack Roberts of Eng land. Al Smith has been entrusted with receiving offers. Few have been made owing to the uncertainty as to whether Roberts really intends visit ing this country. Another story which has gained considerable credence of late is that Roberts will not fight Me- Govern unless he receives bonus of $5,000. This is more money than any other foreign pugilist ever got for com ing here to, fight, and itis not likely, if the report is true, that Roberts's de- 6mands will be- acceded to. Tom O'Rourke, who intends to open a club in Connecticut aboutethe first week of October, was asked if he intends to bid for the match. He safd:s "Fitz- patrick and sam Harris were np to see me the other day in reference to the sg6.' told them that I was not going to commit myself, but if the men cared to fight sat my club I would see that they got we'll paid for their ser vices" Jim. Kennedy. the matchmak- CT of the Twentieth Century A. c. of San Francisco, said that he had heard that Roberts wanted $500 to fight and that there was some doubt as to who is his real manager. ''The Twentieth Century A. c. will be, of course, in line for the match" explained Kenne- dy, "but will not give Roberts or any other fighter bonus of $5,000."

Ivy Poisoning.

A popularity of poisoning by Ivy,
dogwood or sumach is that a cure
which will be OF avail TO one patient
will give no relief TO another. Country
people, who live in districts where
poisonous plants luXuriate, keep
ready all sorts Of simple home RENE
dies, and IL one does not help another
will. Carbonate OF soda dissolved in
hot water making a very strong
solution, will frequently cure at once
IL II can be applied at the very earliest
symptom Of poisoning. Salt In hot
water will sometimes relieve when
soda does not. Other simple country
cures are a strong lye made from
wood ashes, sassafras tea, made as
strong as possible, and lime water. A
doctors remedy is solution of sugar
Of lead mixed with opium in equal
quantities. Water as hot as can be
borne affords relief from the terrible
itching. Poison ivy is easily recog-
nized by its triple leaf Some people
are so susceptible TO 1t that merely
passing In it's vicinity is sufficient to
BRING out the irritating blotches. Wash
ing the exposed parts of the body
Immediately after coming in contact
with il will often prevent unpleasant
results. Care should be taken never
to wipe the hands or face after ex-
posure on a towel another is likely
to use, for though yon may not be
poisoned yourself, another may be-
rome frightfully so.-Good House

Electrical Incubation.

Since the Matching of an egg results
from the application of heat, 1t makes
little difference whether this heat is
applied by the hen or by artificial
means 1t is claimed for the artificial
method that the chicks can be pro-
duced so as TO be ready at the time
when prices are best. Hence artificial
Incubation has cCme into extensive
use and as the most extensive appli-
cation Of these machines is in agricul-
tural districts. where the Kerosene
lamp is the standard OF illumination,
IL is not surprising that this same lamp
has come TO be the standard source Of
heat
About two years ago the writer wit
messed the destruction by fire of the
poultry houses connected with a large
New York State institution, the origin
OF the fire being directly traceable 10
an incubator lamp, and il occurred 10
him that here was another legitimate
field for electricity in the heating OF
incubators and brooders. Since that
time experiments have been carried
out. and with gratifying results.-E Elec.

The Water Carnivores

The yumber OF carniysrous crea-
lures found in the water seems cut
CT all proportion 10 the usual order OF
nature. But this is perhaps because
the miaute. almost invisible. creatures
OF which the rivers and ponds arr full.
and which are the main food OF the
smaller water carnivora. live mainly
on decaying vegetable substance,
which Is practically converted and
condensed into micrcscopiCal animals
before these become In turn the food
of others. IL is as II all trees aud
grass on land were first eaten 10y To-
Gusts or white ants. and the locus;s
and white ants were then eaten 10y
semi-carniverous cows and sheep,
which were IA turn eaten by true car
nivorn. The water weeds. both when
living and decaying are eaten 10y the
cntomostraca. the entomostraca are
eaten by the larvae Of insects the per.
feet insects are eaten ty the fish. and
the fish are eaten 10y men. otters aud
birds. Thus. we eat the products of
the water plants at four removes In

THE NEW EDITOR.
lie Shows Traces Of Genius In His Ss,u

Newspaper men are provcrbially
modest, but II is not often that an ed

his constituency so completely as is
evidenced in the following salutatory:
In taking charge of the -- we do
so with considerable modesty, not
wishing to carry the idea that we can
revolutionize the newspaper business

journals that are clean and carefully

cntcrprising little city that is known
far and wide as a good town" Our
acquaintance here is limited, and until
we get better known we will not be
able to get out the paper we wish to
issue.
We ask our readers TO bear with us
til We get our hand in." and then If
the -- don't fill the bill II will be n re-

Quoted on business principles and we
ask your support in making IL paying

sides the patrons of the paper.
The new management Will lie thank
ful for any help in gathering the news
and will also be much pleased 10 get
our advertising and job departments
full OF business. While we are a
stranger to you, please do not treat US
as such. for a newspaper man must
get the news from you for while he
may imagine much, he must have the
general facts.
Thanking you IN advance for the
favors we are satisfied you will extend
us. we are -- .
One is inclined 10 feel rather sorry
for the other two good news jour
nails" In that town. because the new
editor carries about with him the ear
marks of genius. He does not pro-
pose TO get up all the news items with

out in the byways and gather 'em In.
This Is fine resolution. and backed

Political Parties in France.

In France the parties have no pro-
grams in a strict sense; no precise
formula that defines their politics and
their demands. They have senti-
ments, passions. If you prefer it so,
and general tendencies which suffice
TO classify the politicians and those
who elect them. Politics in France
Is purely an "affaire de sentiment;'
the clector votes for the candidate
whose political feelings approach most
learly TO his own; he is guided by the
sympathes and antipathies manifest
ad by the candidates. and by the per-
sonal relations which they entertain
toward the people of one or the other
party in each locality. This criterion
allows the French countrymen to know
the representative of their personal
sentiments in SO sure n way that they
can rarely be deceived. The electOr,
when he sees n candidate arrive
whose opinions are not clearly known
to him, does not stop at the party
lppellation that the unknown parades.
out he observes what people patronize
him, and what company he keeps;
aud the elector soon knows to which
side he belongs.
French politics are directed not by
parties, but 10y tendencies, and those
who desire TO understand them must
give heed. not to the programs7of of the
candidates. but TO the sentiments Of
the electoral masses.-International
Monthly.

AeeonpanImepts OF Dishes.

There Is an unwritten law regarding
the Accomplishments OF various dishes
which is changeless In the daily bill
OF fare. Who, for example, would
serve roast turkey without cranberry
sauce, lamb without peas, venlson
without cuITant jelly, or fish without
cabbagei With veal. lamb and all
white meats, peas, beans. cabbage,
caulifower, spinach and, in fact most
vegetables growing above ground are
best. With roasts, turnips, carrots,
parsnips. corn, asparagus, onions and
tomatoes are all suitable. Spinach -
usually served with veal For fowl.
potatoes are generally mashed; for
roast beef, peeled and baked In the
pan with the meat, and for fish, fried.

inch lengths and boil until tender in
well -salted water Drain very dry,
then put them back in the stewpan
with light seasoning of red and black
pepper, and tablespoonful OF the

uncooked Set them over slow fire for
five minutes, stirring most OF the time.
Turn out into n hot dish upon very
crisp toast. and serve with either quar-
tered lemon or pepper vinegar. In
stead Of the oil fat bacon may be used.
Fry half dozen slices crisp without
burning them, then put the drained
beans In the bacon gravy, and stir well
over the fire until it is absorbed. Serve
on a hot dish with the bacon laid on
top, along with hot cornbread and
sliced cucumbers in vinegar.
