and on Sunday their host request.

hlm to church.
No." said he, 81 never go to
church. " And his wife backed up
his assertion.
The visitor was finally persuad-
ed to go to local church and was
told the pastor was also an Amer
lean. After the service he was
introduced to the pastor, and the
following conversation took place:
"Well, doctor" SAID the visitor,
81 enjoyed your sermon.

that" replied the pastor.
"You know" explained the
farmer, 81 do not 90 to church

Twenty.Sixth or Twenty-Seventh.

Will William Fl. Taft be the
twenty. seventh President of the
United States or the twenty
sixth? AS a matter of fact,
there have been only twenty five
men, including the, Vice Presl-
dents who succeeded to the
Presidency, who have held the
Office of President. Mr.. Taft
will be the twenty sixth man to
enjoy the honor and exercise the
powers of President of the United
States. Why then, should he
rank as the twenty seventh Pres
ldent?
On the Mckinley perlstyIe on
the State Capitol grounds at
Colum bus, 0 and on the dedicat-
ed obellsk in Niagara Square,
Buffalo, William Mckinley is
declared to have been the twenty
fifth President of the United
States. This agrees with the
mum berlng of the almanacs, and
If it is true Roosevelt is the
twenty. sixth and Taft Will be the
twenty seventh President, al
though onlv twenty five men will
have preceded him in that Office.
The confusion arises from call.
ing Cleveland the twenty-second
and the twenty fourth President
of the United States because his
two terms were separated by an
other incumbent. If the Presi-
dental terms were numbered
this would be correct, and not
only Cleveland but every eight
year President should be credit
ed with two terms. 1t is an
anomaly to apply the term meth
cd of enumeration to Cleveland
alone. This country has had
only twenty five Presidents, and
1t is impossible for Mckinley to
be the twenty fifth and Taft the
twenty seventh if individuals are
meant. If we count by .Presi.
denilal terms of four years, the
country will have completed
thirty of these terms on March
A next, when Mr.. Taft will enter
upon the thirty. first Presidential
term and be the twenty-sixth
President.-The Press.

When and How 10 Eat.

The normal sense of hunger
makes the plalnest TODD tasty and
delicious, Without hunger, that
IS, without the call of nature for
food, one is not justified in eating,
says celebrated physician. 1t
is under condition of repletlon
and surfeitlng that artificial hun.
ger must be created by taking
various Condiments, spices, rich
sauces and savorles, and stlmulat-
ing articles. All Of these are un-
wholesome, and none of them
should be resorted to except in
sickness and disease, when it Is
often desirable and necessary to
make the food as attractive and
appetlzlng as possible to induce
the patIenC to take 1T. But even
in such cases it is rarely neces
,sary to resort TO unwholesome
stimulation. A large part of the
sickness and disease OF this life
would disappear # everyone made
IL a rule to eat. only when really
hungry, and then to take no more
than the body required.

Household Notes.

A taut wire stretched along
the pantry wall Is a good holder
for all tin lids. Slip them back
of 1t and the knobs Will hold them
IN place.
If milk is heated until luke
warm and then quickly chilled,
there will be much more cream.
Curtains are easily run on
brass rods if thimble is first
placed on the end of the rod.
When milk has burned pour
it at once into pitcher and
stand 1t in basin of cold water
until it is cool, when 1t will be
found to be quite free from the
burned smell and taste. Also
when anything has burned in
the double boiler, instead of re-
plenishlng the steamer part with
hot water, use cold for the same
effect.
If your soup is found tco salty
add few slices of raw potatoes
and cook a little longer. The
potaso will absorb the surplus
salt. To keep the coffee pot free
from a strong odor put a pinch
of bicar Donate of soda in it once
a week, fill 1t up with water and
boil slowly or simmer for quar-
ter of an hour.
A woman who makes delecta-
BILE lemon pie sometimes adds
the pulp of banana to the Gus
tard before turning into the
paste lined tin. She covers the
pie with a merlngue when 1t
comes from the oven.
After naphtha cleaning gloves,
laceS, rl0DOnS, eJc., at nome,
they may be placed directly upon
a steam radiator, and Will be
found to be dry in half the time
ordinarily required, and the odor
will entirely disappear IN less
than an hours time.
When roasting meat in an open
pan wet clean white muslin
cloth and lay over the top of the
meat. 1t Will keep from getting
hard and does not require basting
so often, and the meat is much
nicer.
A fiat brass button sewed on
the corner of dlshcloth will be
a great help in washing dishes.
1t can be used as a "scratcher, "

sist the faculty of the school of
agriculture in making the coming

be so large that it is necessary to
schedule four lectures for the

The Outside Parties.

Without being In possession of
all the official details of the elec-
ton, 1t is evident enough that the
outside parties of Socialists, Pro.
hlbltlonists, Popuhsts, and Inde.
pendence Lesg uers have exercis.
ed but small influence upon the
result. If the votes of all these
factions were united together
they would constitute an exceed
lngly small proportion of the peo.
pie when compared with the mil
lions of votes the Repu bllcans
and Democrats have brought in
to the political field. Hence there
is little srgn of an approach of
the hour when either of the two
great parties will be melted into
new political organization, as
was the history of the Federal
lists and the Wings.
OF all those special factions the
Socialists have the most signifi
cance. II they have not realized
their expectations they have lit.
tie more than held their own, and
are thus encouraged to renew
their efforts. The faction that
has Jared the worst is the social,
ed Independence League, which
is nothing more than the creation
of man who had not enough po.
litlcal or personal significance to
gather or retain a considerable
body of adherents. HIS League
was but "spite fence" erected
to annoy his nelghbors, and now
the fence is lrretrievably broken
down. The Popullst party, too,
which few years ago assumed a
rather formidable aspect, has
run to seed. In this election the
party has mustered only a few
handfuls OF votes, where former
ly it counted them by thousands.
So also with the Prohlbltlonlsts,
who appear to have lost ground
since the last election for Presi-
dent. An explanation of this is
in the fact that IN States that
have adopted Prohibition it has
ceased with them to be an issue.
Yet although not one of these
factions has elected repre- ,enta.
tive IN the Sixty first Congress,
politicians here and there will not
cease to reckon with them as long
as they make show of political
existence. By skillful combina.
uons with or against either of tho
great political parties the Popu
lists or ProhlbltiOnists in some
States may still have strength
enough to decide the result of an
election. But the Socialists, who
believe that the triumph of their
doctrines in this country as we'll
\
as throughout the world is only
a question of more or less time,
will not deal with any party.
They will continue to propagate
their plausible but most perm.
cious doctrines of. human regen.

numbers of adherents from both
the great parties unless they are
