London in Her Glory.

Seen under the glory of really fine sunset, London must be one of the most beautiful and impressive spec tacles in the world. You may look up the Thames, and see the red sun turn ing the pail of smoke that hangs over the shipping into sultry crimson cloud, and lighting the dirty water and dingy wharves with gleam of gold; or see the dome of St. Paul's caught in a mist of rich colors; or the high buildings of Bond street standing clearly out against the warmly-tinged sky and wonder, not unreasonably whether any other city that ever was built could show such a magnificent series of pictures as can this dingy London of ours of an autumn evening County Gentleman.

For the Cosy Corner.

An elderly man from the country, intent on purchasing some furniture proceeded to the city to put his skill for bargaining to the test. On enter ing an old curiosity" shop he found himself confronted by the proprietor. After turning over the stock the old man purchased a chair. A few days later the purchaser returned to the shop again with the chair in about half a dozen pieces. The proprietor looked at them very gravely and ex- amined them all over, then suddenly exclaimed: "Ah. my friend, see what is the matter; somebody has been sitting on it!"-Tit-Bits.

DavIe Speaks Today.

Washington, D.C., Dec. 1O-All sorts of rumors current regard ing plan to prevent Senator Jeff Davis from making a speech tomorrow in the Senate on his bill to abolishtrusts. The rumors take the forms of stories of plans to continue the Senate's unfin- ished business all afternoon and make it impossible, under the rules, for the Arkansas Senator to get the floor.
 Still other reports say that it is the design of Republican mem bers to arise in a body and walk out when Senator Davis begins his speech. Inquiry among the members reveals these to be probably absolutely baseless. It IS clearly within the rights of the Arkansas senator or other members to give formal notice as Senator Davis did, that on a given day.he will address the Senate on any matter before the body. It is prbabable, however, that many of the older members will not remain during the de- livery of Davis addres, as it it is unusual for senators just sworn in to deliver speeches. This precendent has become so well established that violating it al- ways finds all the senators in- tending to speak are unable to do so. This occurs frequently in case of members of years stand ing. Davis will have liberal gal. lery attendance, although there may be only few senators pres. ent.

Cure for Ringworms.

As cure for ringworms this curl ous recipe was given in the House keepers Guide for 1886: Get the coomb of a church bell. that is, the grease which is applied to make it work easy, and with which the metal forms kind of verdigris; mix it with unsalted lard and apply fresh plaster twice day. It is not super stition that dictates the use of a church bell above any other, but the peculiar combination of metals em- ployed for the purpose produces a different kind of verdigris. This remedy was long kept profound se- cret, and many cures effected at an enormous charge. It has been equal. ly eff1cacious as freely and openly communicated.

To Have No Trouble.

One way to avoid trouble is to make 1t impossible before 1t appears. On the day of the Sunday school pic. nic the trolley car stopped to take bright-eyed. middle-aged woman with six hatless boys. Yes, we're going to the picnic" she chirped, in response to the conductors query, but you won't have to stop to pick up any lost headgear. I'm perfectly willing to take care of six boys; but there isn't money enough to tempt me to look after six boys and six hats"

Let it be Contagious.

May Gods blessing rest upon our youngest daughter in the family of states as she begins housekeeping for herself! Proud Oklahoma.
 We are glad to know that no liquor will be on her table, for she has shut it out
 On the evening of Saturday. Nov. 18th at F o o'clock 56O saloons in Oklahoma closed their doors. 65 saloons were in Oklahoma City, the fittings of each averag- ed the value of $500 co. The on ly breweries in Oklahoma were in the city of that name. There were two.
 It is reported, that in Guthrie, long streamers of crepe were hung on the doors and in the windows of some of the saloons that closed on Saturday night. A big barrel was placed in and an empty glass beneath the fau- cet. On the barrel itself, heavily draped in black, was a placard with the following: Everything Going out, and Nothing Coming h."
 And so it will be seen that at the moment Oklahoma became a state by the signature of our lhon0red President it's Prohibi- tion Constitution became a law.
 All hail.. May it's example be. contagious.. How glad we are to state that the first Governor of this clean born state is staunch temperance man. He was elected delegate to the constitutional convention on state wide Pro- hibition platform, and stood as spon sor for Prohibition in the convention, delivering the best address on the floor in it's be- half. May such Governors be- come contagious..
 He was the Anti Saloon League candidate for Governor at the Democratic primaries and won the nomination by over 5000 ma- jority.
 All these forces together with the Church Federation (mark this) worked long and hard to bring about this nomination. He was elected by 30,0OO majority, the same given the Prohibition clause of the constitution.
 All Hail. and All Hail. Let us b ring Arkansas up. Amen.

Green Gut Bone the Cheapest
Poultry Food.

The problem of finding a cheap
poultry food that will increase egg
production during the winter when
eggs are high has been solved by those
farmers who purchase Green Cut Bone
for their poultry. c. s. Page of Hyde
Park, VT, grinds many thousand
pounds annually of this article and is
this year selling it for So so per barrel
of 200 pounds, freight prepaid to buy
er's railroad station. There is now no
necessity for going without this staple
Poultry Food. If you cannot use a
barrel yourself, get some of your
neighbors to join in with you. You
will frd it a valuable egg producer.

The stress of the night had only en-
HANGED the need of an ample supply Of

For the midday meal there would be
two ounces of meat or bacon, one pota-

the allowance was half cup of cocoa
and two ounces of bread, which must
be baked during the day. Not quite

Raw Mea: as a Food for Hens.

Those who are familiar with
Poultry know with what eagerness
they eat raw Meat of any
kind. This habit indicates that raw
Meat is something their nature de-
mands. There ia perhaps no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls
especially in winter-than Green Cut
Bone and Meat ground together. 1t
is not only invieorating but it contains
in form easily assmilated the very
elements required for the making of
eggs. 1t will make hens lay when
everything else fails.
G. S. Page of Hyde Park, VT, will
send 200 pound barrel of Green Cut
Bone and Meat for 50 90, freight pre-
paid to any point in New England or

zone morning, when busy in my
Workshop says a naturalist, large
fly. double the size of bluebottle,
was caught in a spiders web in the
window close to where | was at work,
1t was held by two of its legs only,
and for some time the spider, which
was about the size of the ily's head,
proceeded to strengthen its hold by
attaching numerous extra lines TO the
two captive limbs, carefully keeping
out of reach of the others which We're
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape.
During a short respite in the cap,
tive's struggles the spider cautiously
approached, and with its hind legs
got several turns OF its tiny rope
round one of the limbs that were free.
These tactics were carried on till all
the legs were firmly bound. 1t then
injected poison into one OF the legs,
This soon showed itself, for its dead
ening effects reduced the victims
struggles in a marked degree. The
poison paralyzes but does not kill.
shortly after a second bite resist

down to suck the juices OF its fallen
prey. The struggles lasted quite an
hour. Next morning the fly was alive,
and the spider was still sucking out
its life blood"
