A Sign at Gettysburg.

July /, 1868, on Cemetery Ridge, near
Gettysburg, Pa, was posted this Sign
"All persons found using firearms
in these grounds will be prosecuted
with the utmost rigor of the law"
For the failure to enforce it you must
blame old John Burns, for he was the
constable at Gettysburg; but the majesty
of the law was himself blazing away
with borrowed pun.
And, as accessory before the fact, you
must indict the man who had the shoe
store; for he, and not Hooker, Meade, or
Lee, brought on the Battle of Gettys'
burg. A detachment of men in blue
with holes in their shoes came into town
to clean out the store, and at the same
time came a detachment in gray with no
shoes at all; and then the village ordi-
nance against the promiscuous use Of
firearms began to go to pipeces,-Edgar
Allen Forbes in the American Magazine.

INFORMAL COMPANY suPPER.

The chatting dish Is the never fail
ing resort for the hot dish for an eve
ming supper, and everything else may
be prepared beforehand, unless one
likes to make the salad and dressing
at the table. The materials may be
all ready and the process Of blending
them and the making of French dress
ing Is usually form Of entertainment
enjoyed by both men and women. In
fact. many men are especially clever
at and enjoy making salads.
The sandwiches may be prepared by
cutting a slice from each end OF the
loaf and then cut of the side crusts
and bottom and top; now slice the
bread lengthwise in five or six slices
OF uniform thickness, spread with
creamed butter and put together in
the form Of the original loaf. Wrap in
dampened cloth and place under a
weight until the time for serving, then
the loaf may be cut in Slices and in
halves cTosswise. Arrange on a dolly
covered plate to serve.
A most delicious salad dressing Is
creamed butter well blended with two
canned red peppers pounded to a
paste. Another nice sandwich to
serve with cold roast lamb. Finely
chopped mint mixed with creamed
butter makes another appetizing sand
! wich.
Eggs a la creols.-This is a dish
very popular with the men: Chop two
or three tablespoonfuls OF dried beei

fuls of butter, add the mixture, anC
when we'll heated add four eggs slight
ly beaten. Cook until of a creamy con
slstency, stirring constantly, anC

Hot potato salad is a most enjoya
BILE dish when accompanied by COLI
meat. Cut six medium sized potatoes
in slices, sprinkle with salt and pep

a tablespoonful of finely minced pars

Whatever doubts existed upoa this

This Is due, more than anything else,
TO the fact that he seems to be Inn

Limiting Augmentation Bills.


The Democratic leaders in the
house have done wisely in giving seri-
Gus consideration to the limitation Of
appropriation bills.
When the late Samuel J. Randall
many years ago ran counter in his
protection ideas to the free trade pol
icies of the dominant faction in his
party he was punished by the with
drawal of appropriation bills from his
committee. Under the new system
the bills relating to the army and
navy, agriculture, pensions, etc, were
framed by the committees which dealt
with those matters, and, as a natural
consequence, each committee, working
Independently placed no limit upon
its expenditures. 1t is now proposed
that budget committee shall appor-
ton the amount beyond which no COM
mittee shall go in making up an ap-
preparation bill. Thus there will be
a correlation between the revenues
and the expenditures and economy
will be assured.
The effort to rectify the abuses OF
the present system will meet the COM

The board of trade of Quincy,

If the duty on finished granite is re-
duced as proposed in the Underwood
bill.
Reducing the argument to a syllo-
gism it is: LuSuries should bear a
high duty; tombstones of granite are
a luxury; therefore, the duty on
granite tombstones should be kept
high.

Color.

Color is largely a matter of breed.
The color character in eggs has no
relation whatsoever to their food
value. An egg with a white shell does
not differ in composition from one
with with brown shell. Eggs OF the
Mediterranean breeds are white, while
those of the Asiatic breeds are brown.
In general the eggs of the American
breeds are also brown, but are rarely
as uniform in color as the other two
classes. Uniformity in color regard
less of whether eggs are white or
brown should be sought for by the
poultryman. A good appearance to
a crate Of eggs is procured only when
uniformity in size shape and color il
present.
