WARM WEATHER BREAKFASTS. Physi-
cal comfort, clear head and cool mind,
as the hot weather comes upon us, are
very desirable. These conditions are ss.
sential, also, to good health, especially in
the summer months. We report the ex-
perienee of all who have made these mat
tiers a subject Of study and experiment,
when We say that comfort, health and
good spirits depend almost wholly on
what We eat and drink 4 light, and at
the same time nutritious, breakfast, is
especially desirable when the thermome-
ter ranges from seventy-tive to eighty
Beefsteak, or ham and eggs, short biscuit,
fried potatoes, and such articles, with
coffee, are not the dishes to SET lightly on
a mans stomach and give him comfort
through the day, and UT they are what
most persons fill up with constantly. More
wholesome dishes for breakfast, however,
are rapidly coming into use. Within the
last five years the consumption of cat
meal and cracked wheat has increased
wonderfully Cooked as mush, or as rice,
they make diet that not only satisfies
the appetite but Sus.ains the physical and
mental energies longer than any other
food. At first they Will seem a little il
sipid, and one will think lie ought to have
something a little more substantial but
gradually he will recognize and appreciate
their delicate flavor, and relish them high
ly. They are eaten both hotand cold, and,
as they must be cooked slowl ly-cracked
wheat several heurs-it is more conven-
lent to use them cold for breakfast :;
though when cooked the previous day they
may be steamed or heated in water in a
short time No doubt they are most
wholesome eaten plain, with milk, but the
temptation to use various dressing"
sugar and cream, sirup or butter and salt,
Is too great for any except resolgte health
seekers. The price at which oatmeal re-
tails-fve cents per pound-seems at first
little extravagant but when it is con-
sidered that only the best grain is used,
and that 1t Is not made in such vast auan-
titles as common flour, it is not excessive.
Rice, without any grinding, is eight or ten
cents per pound; and fine hominy meal is
FIVE cents pound. Cracked wheat is four
pounds for twenty-five cents And they
are all cheaper than new potatoes, peas
and beans and there is no comparison in
the amount of nutrition they afford. We
earnestly recommend our readers to try
cat meal mush, or cracked wheat pud-
ding, for breakfast. Especially encourage
the children TO eat them. They are the
best bone and muscle making iood they





can get, and city children need these ele-
ments sadly.

In these days, when ghostlore seems
to be fast vanishing into space, it may
interest some of my readers to hear the
following story as it was told me by the
individual concerned, q rising diplo-
matist in a pleasant Continental town
that l happened to visit. "You will
remember" he said, ''that on my re-
turn here after my marriage we took a
small house in one of the principal
streets, not by any means an old build
ing or in any way different from the
ordinary run of houses of the same size.
1t so happened that after we had settled
ourselves l was obliged to be away in
England, leaving my wife here alone.
On my return she mentioned to me that
she had dreamed four or five times
running the same dream, and that it
always took place when she had been
in bed about an hour. She was not in
the least nervous about it, nor gave me
the smallest hint that she suspected
anything out of the common. About
three days after our conversation, we
were dress ing for dinner, and the door
leading from my dressing-room to my
wife's room was open, when she called
out to me: is it not curious, l feel
exactly as if there was some one in the
room with meP Are you still dressingP'
[ replied that had never left my room.
That night, shortly after going to bed,
L distinctly saw a little old man, with
blonde cendre beard, come into our bed
room, and walk through into my dress
ing-room; the fire was burning bright
ly at the time, as also q rushlight at the
further end of the room. I jumped
quickly out of bed and came behind
the figure, which was standing at my
dressing-table, and was perfectly visi-
BILE from my room, saying: Come, l
have got you now!' AS you know, 1
am pretty strong-minded individual,
and have never had much leaning to-
ward spiritual fancies,' even when q
medium has held most of the spectators
entranced by his performances; but
confess 1 had bad moment when the
figure, instead of giving me a crack on
the head or begging for mercy, adopted
the more unusual course of vanishing
altogether. / said nothing to my wife
about the affair; but the next evening
at very nearly the same time, in walked
the figure again and stood in the door
way, between the two rooms, looking
at us. l woke my wife, and we both
had a good stare at him. felt it was
no good getting up after him, and in
about two minutes he walked leisurely
through the doorway out of sight. Per-
sonally speaking, don't care rap
how often the gentleman comes. My
wife also is averse to leaving comfort
able house on account of what she Is
pleased to term "a bogey,' so we have
never moved, and from time to time
our old friend appears and goes through
h., mo a
inquiries from some neighboring shop
keepers, and from my description they
at once recognized the figure saw as
the former owner of my house, who
died some ten or twelve years ago"
l reproduce the story in almost the
identical words my friend used, and
leave it to my readers to explain away
or believe in it, as the fancy takes them.

There was herdsman driving hum
dred head of sheep or more down Min
eral Springs avenue. They went along
as sheep always do-frst steady little
plod, then a clumsy canter like q
wooden rocking-horse, and now alto
gether in q mammoth wad of animated
wool. There was q good-natured man
with an umbrella in his hand standing
near the fence and waiting for the dis
organized herd to toapproach. Hethought
he had better lend hand, and SO he
rushed in front of the flock and waved
his umbrella as q scepter of authority.
The result of this generalship was that
the sheep rushed pell-mell into school
yard just as the scholars, like flock of
human sheep, were pouring out for
recess. In one minute urchins and
lambkins were hopelessly mixed and

male member of the flock marked for

upon him this horned and woolly Mes

man shut his eyes and opened his UNI
brella, but of no avail, for through the
umbrella covering the creature crashed
like circus rider through the papered
hoop. In wild dismay The man took to
his heels, and then old Nestor sent him
sprawling in advance of his flock, and
before he could regain his feet the
flock fell back into single file and each
sheep went scampering over him: 1t
was ten minutes before the last sheep
had gone over him, and then he arose.

THERE is certain logic in business which
is exceedingly fascinating, and yet great
many persons do business in the logical way
to which We refer. Instance A gentle
man bought a horse OF a dealer VINO was
never before known to get the wrong end OF
a bargain for his portion. The agreement
and very simple and fair one it appeared
to be-was that one-half of the price named
should be paid down and that the buyer
should owe for the other half. When the
horse owner, however, presented himself and
demanded his pay our logician replied that
the horse had been paid for. How can
that be-" cried the unhappy jockey " Its
as clear as the light, replied the man OF su-
perior intelligence. "Our agreement was
that should pay you one-half your price,
which did, and that should owe You for
the other half " Exactly, said the jockey;
those we're the precise words, and now I've
come for the other half; don't you see a.:
Il prefer to stand by my agreement. for

We trust that northern men are

leans. 1t is an old story the wit
nesses tell, but il deserves attention
all the more because it is old. 1t
shows that the habit Of outrage, in
timidation and murder has become
an inveterate one. 1t reveals in
bald form the southern democratic
methods. Think for a moment of
eighty men being killed in a single
parish on account of their political
opinions. There is a foul wrong
being done TO voters in the south,
and there is a foui wrong being done
to voters i'm the north.


Our whole system is built up on
the idea of equality. This funds-
mental principle has been violated
in the south. The country can not,
will rot stand it. If this political
persecution does not cease, what the
southern democrats call the bloody
shirt will be again raised. There
can be no compromise. The con-
science, the sense of justice, of the
nation will be stirred. Much as the
revival of the old issues may be de-
precated, much as the nation breads

questions, it will never rest until
ample and complete protection is
assured to every citizen within its

Resumption, so long struggled for,
and so eminently beneficial to all
interests and all classes, is now Sc
cure. There are but two points
incident TO resumption about which
| notice complaint: First, the nom
payment of interest OH the public
debt in gold coin at cities other than
New York second, criticism of the
distribution of the silver dollar by
this department. To maintain spe-
Gle payments the coin must be kept
in some central convenient deposi-
tory, always accessible. The law
fixes New York as this place. 1t is
not reasonable while we promptly
redeem our notes and pay the in
terest on the public debt in New
York that complaint should be
MADE because the coin is not scat
tered by being transported at the
will of creditors at considerable
cost, to other parts of the United
States, we must make no distinction
between the payment of interest
and the redemption of notes, but
both should be paid at the same
place and in the same way, or we
again make the discrimination so
much complained of between the
noteholder and the bondholder. |
hope, after some preparation and
lapse of time, it may be convenient
to exchange coin for notes and save
interest TO the repositories i'm the
United States and | will seek to
bring about that result, not as a
matter of legal duty but for the con-
venience of citizens.


AS TO the other matter, | have a
clear conviction that the forced
payment of the silver dollar to pub
lie creditors would tend TO depre-
ciate it and cause it at once to be
sold in the market at less than par.
No friend of the silver dollar should
desire it to be forced into circula-
tion under such circumstances This
would open a gap between the silver
dollar and United States notes that
would tend to bring it into dis
credit among our people, while it is
plainly the policy of the law that it
should be maintained at par with
United States notes. The depart
ment is now Issuing the silver dol
lars, transporting them free of
charge whenever needed to all who
wish them in exchange for United
States notes or in payment for SER
vices, and it is hoped that the whole
coinage may thus be put i'm circula-
tion. While it is the duty of the
government to coin different kinds
of money, as public policy dictates,
it should be within the power of the
citizen at his option to demand Ell
ther form Of lawful money. 1t is
hoped that the friends Of resump-
tion will be satisfied with the be-
neficent results already accomplish
ed, and will give this department
reasonable forbearance in the prac-
tical execution of its plans. If so,
those who have hitherto disagreed
with us about resumption will join
with us in applauding the policy
now being maintained.


Very respectfully yours,

not so disabled that it could not be run to the
repair shops. The front Of one car was
smashed in. and the trusses over which tho ac-
oident occurred received n severe strain. In
consequence OF the accident all trains were
stopped one hour and twonty minutes.
