There has been good deal of specu-
lating on the makeup of succeeding
councils of the Governor without al
ways taking into consideration the
years that councillors, under the new
plan, arranged by the Legislature Of
1901 will become operative. In some
instances candidates have been slated
that could not, by any possibility, be
eligible by reason of location. There is
only one county in the State that can
have a councillor every term and that
is Cumberland. 1t constitutes what is
known as the second district. York
and Oxford is the first district, Andres
coggin Franklin and Somerset the
third, Kennebec, Lincoln and Sagada-
hoe the fourth, Hancock, Knox and
Waldo the fifth, Penobscot and Piscata-
quis the sixth and Aroostook and
Washington the seventh.
The present council is made up of
representatives from York, Cumber-
land, Somerset, Kennebec, Hancock,
Penobscot and Washington. The only
two councillors that will hold over into
the next term are those from Washing

To Make Jelly RIGHT.

Whatever fruit is used, cook un-
til soft; then let it drip from sus-
pended sack made from thin but
strong material. Never squeeze it
with the hands. Give it time, and
the juice will drip through into the
receiving vessel, which should be an
earthen bowl. Put the juice into a
porcelain kettle and over brisk
fire; boil tweAty minutes. At the
same time place on an carthen plat
ter the quantity Of sugar you will
be likely to use; set it in the oven
and heat through thoroughly, being
careful that it does not scorch or
discolor. When the juice has boiled
briskly twenty minutes from the
top of the stove, remove and meas
ure it and allow as many pints or
quarts Of sugar as there are of the
condensed juice. Stir all together
and boil up about three minutes.
Strain into Il pitcher, fill your jelly
glasses and let stand until next day.

A Nursery Hammock.

AS the advancing season shuts
little children more or less indoors
a hammock in the nursery will be
very helpful for the mother or
nurse. 1t may be adjusted from
the window sill across corner of
the room to strong hook In the
wall. Knit with two large wooden
needles, using macrame or other
strong cord of one or two colors.
Cast OH twenty-five stitches and
knit plain or with any preferred
fancy stitch IL strip five feet in
length. Knit four such strips and
join with an overland stitch. Now
fasten the ends to wooden horns,
which can easily be fashioned. Knot
fringe of the cord on the edges
and across the bows. For baby's
hammock cast on fifteen stitches
and knit the strips not more than a
yard long.-Country Gentleman.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
How to Dry Napery and Prepare u
For the ,roninu Board,

Hang your linen to dry, using
two lines comparatively close and
parallel for your tlblccloths: also
for sheets. Throw one selyage side
Of your tablecloth over one line to-
ward the other, allowing it to hang
down about quarter of yard and
being careful to pin it in short dis
tance from the ends. Take the oppo-
site side of your cloth and throw it
over the other line facing the first
line and pin it in the same manner.
This will form sort of bag and
will prevent to a considerable extent
the wild blowing Of the tablccloth
in windy weather. After the table
cloth is thoroughly dried remove it
from the line and prepare to damp
en- it. A whisk broom is excellent
for this purpose. Table linen, in or
der to bring out the bright gloss
that makes it so attractive, should
be dampened very considerably.
Sprinkle the tablccloths very freely,
being SURE that the selvage ends or
hemstitched borders are thoroughly
damp. Roll up tightly, pstting the
roll frequently to spread the damp
ness. The napkins and doilies
should be arranged alternately one
upon the other, first napkin dry
from the line, then one which has
been wrung out in warm water, then
dry napkin, and following it, an
other wrung out in hot water, and
so on. Then roll tightly together.

To Call the Children Home.

"a policeman's whistle" says the
mother of four small boys living in
a suburban town. "solvcs the prob
lem of how to call the children
home with the least expenditure OF
vocal energy and precious time. OF
course this would not answer in a
city, where bluccoats abound, but
here or when off in the country il
is most etlicacious. A child can't
make excuse that he didn't hear il
anywhere within the radius of @
half mile, and there is something in
the insistent note of the whistle that
brings them scampering with as
much celebrity as those who followed
the Pied Piper of Hamelin."

Warmed Up Meats.

To make warmed up meats appe-
tizing there are various commodi-
ties which ought to always occupy
place in the pantry. Have small
jar of onion butter, II bottle of cara
mel, glass can filled with Drowned
flour, a jar of finely rolled bread
crumbs, worcestershire sauce, cell
Try salt, mace, bay leaves, bottle
VI Oscar sauce, tabasco. cayenne,
curry, catchup. canned mushrooms,
paprika, kitchen bouquet and horse
radish. Thc secret of appeiizilg
food is good ilavoring, and a fire.

do with tempting table than a
large butcher bill.

POISONED THE COWS.

"If you don't make the things
right which you made wrong |
will return and send your dwell
ing and barn in the air in smoke
in addition to what you will find |
have done. An enemy" Thus
read note pinned to the barn
door on the farm of Elias Shug-
hart, north of Newville, Cum ber-
land county.
Shughart went early to the
barn and on opening the door he
found that some person had cut
all his harness into fine shreds,
smashed his buggy and wagon in
to splinters, killed a calf and poi
soned several of his cows and
tried to poison his horses with
Paris green. The cows were
found in time to save their lives
and the poison was discovered in
the watering trough before the
horses drank.
Next morning a furthur evil
dence of malice was found. Mrs.
Shughart took some wood from
the pile near the barn and soon
after she had placed 1t in the
stove of her home, the powder
with which the kindling had been
loaded exploded, and the stove
was blown to pieces and the room
wrecked. Mrs. Shughart was
not near the stove and the larger
of flying bits of iron passed, but
she was struck on the head by
several pieces of stove plate and
deep cuts were inflicted.

Sycamore Furniture.

When one wishes something light,
little different from the enameled
bedroom furniture, there is some
thing new in furniture which can
not be found everywhere-sycamore
finished in the natural wood. These
sets are simple in design, being
made on straight lines, with tall,
slender, square posts, tapering al
the end.

MARRIAGE NOTICES IN OLD
s-..s..t.-..... NEW YOIk. s.fs.ss- .sfa


came across some very unique
marriage notices which are well
worth preserving. 1t was GUS
tomary for the editor to make
some personal allusion to the
wedding, not in the news column,
but Immediately following the an
nouncement. Sometimes friends
would attach gags and queer dog
gerel, very uncompllmentary to
the newly welded pair, and some
of the editorial com ments were
enough to place him in peril had
it not been that the bridegroom
rarely saw the notice until long
after the honeymoon had waned.
In the New York Weekly Mu.
scum for June 1, 1914, appeared
the following:
"On Saturday, May IA, at
Charlton, Luther Marble to Miss
Sophia Stone"
To which the editor appended
the words:
ga very cold hard match"
On March 27, 1915, this notice
appeared in the Museum under
the heading "Nuptial:"
"In Charleston, S. c., January
31.-Mr. Stephen Lyon, of New
York, to Miss Rebecca Lamb.
"The happy time at lengths ar
rived
In Scripture days foretold,
When Lamb and Lyon doth unite,
En- brace and keep one fold. ,"
Another Museum nuptial no.
tice read thus:
cat Blooming Grove, Mr.. John
Reeder of this city, to Miss Eliz-
abeth Tompkins, of the former
place.
One volume of the "Rights of
man"
From maiden errors freed her;
She saw the title, liked the plan,
And soon became a Reeder."
In the New Haven Athenaum,
of August 6, 1914, there appeared
a notice which naturally attract
ed attention because of the
strange appropriateness of the
names of all parties concerned
The editor, evidently wag, ap-
pended few words, the whole
reading as follows:
married, at Peterville, August
!, by the Rev. DR.. Cannon, Mr..
q. Powder to the amiable and ac-
complished Miss Sparks.
'HEd.-We are apprehensive
that Sparks among such com bus
tibles as these will produce an ex.
plosion at Salt Peterville. ,"
In another Issue the writer
found the following nuptial no.
tlce:
son June "a, at Hampstead,
the Rev. William Heart to Miss
Lydia Moore, of this city.
Whoever heard the like be-
fore,
She's got two hearts
And he's got Moore. "
A witty and punning notice
from over the water announced
the marriage in Great Malvern of
Mr.. Mott, the pickle maker, to
Miss Burnett in these words -
"Burn it," "cried Mott, sit makes
me smile"
AS we'll as feverish and hot:
My wife she loves me all the while,
But still declares she loveth
Mott. "-Johp De Morgan, in

Whitefield team on the latter's grounds
last week Thursday and were defeated

finish and had many interesting features,

for Whitefield in center field. Lewis
put mp a great game for the Cardinals
at first base, and did some good work
with the stick. Fl..herty made his usual
hit. Gleason and Bishop, the Cardinal
battery played swift ball, their opponents
securing only four hits. Mcconnell, the
star Whitefeld pitcher, was batted out
of the box in the ninth inning and Chase

Bishop Potter says the wives and
mothers of our day are inferior to the
grandmothers. Perhaps his opinion has
been largely formed from his observa-
tion of the wealthy, though there is no
doubt that the example of thrift teach
ing in the homes of the present day is
greatly needed But there are many
homes scattered over our country where
frugal Christian fathers and mothers are
giving their lives to bring up children
who will make good citizens after their
parents have entered into that rest that
remaineth for the people of God
There is nothing lost, but great deal
gained by hospitality in the home. En-
tertaining cultivated people who have
travelled is a means of education.
Thrift and penuriousness can never
go together. How many are mourning
over the loss of health and pleasure they
gave up to pay for the farm, or some
other thing, sooner than they ought.
We need to keep in mind that there is a
Withholding that tends to poverty.
The old saying that "a penny saved is
a penny earned" should be taught more
than it is. While one is saving the
penny he is forming habits of thrift. A
mother in a home cannot easily earn
money, but there is no limit to her ways
of saving. To be thrifty one must stake
care of the minutes the hours will take
care of themselves" Now that books
are so plentiful and cheap, one has to
consider what not to read or they will
be sure to misuse their time. 1t is a
temptation to hurry through number
of books instead of reading one book in
diligently and learning the real lesson
that it teaches.
The thrifty home must be cheerful and
happy. There should be no lack of rec
reation. That should be taken in the true
sense of the word, recreation, something
that will build up, give strength as well
as pleasure. Change of work will often
give as much rest and recreation as
something that would be considered
pleasure, and children enjoy and fine
recreation in instructive games as well
as ia those that are waste of time.
In the thrifty home the word dut.
should be spelled with capital ID
Some of the best work ever done ha
been with set teeth from firm sense Of
duty. SCOTS novels were written no
for the love of writing, but to earl
money to pay debts that some one els
ought to have paid. Where will we fine
, better novels?
Louisa Alcott said she wrote he
funniest story with her head bandage'
5 and one foot terribly swollen witt
: rheumatism, to pay the expenses of he
, family. Some people will say if yo'
| cannot do from love, don't do at all.
one can do from love it is better, but i
{ is duty to be frugal, and if one canno
be from any higher motive they SHOULD
, from a sense of duty, and then as Philip
Brooks says 'forget the burden and bea
l away the song
