Cook-books are always dlffuss. Housewives will
tolerate condensation or any amount OF breylty
in tho matter of philosophy or ethics, but the
preparation of a dainty dish cannot be stated too
worldly, minutie cannot be given too carefully.
Hence Miss Leslie has prepared over hve hundred
pages. With such q guide, what confidence Is
inspired In the mind of the amateur cook! Not
only Is the culinary art exhaustively considered,
bu. rulos for general housewifery are introduced.
PerpIexity In meeting tho demand for variety In
the several meals Is q common complaint OF house.

designating the proper dishes for breakfast, din

and lust In their same season. Another feature,
which wo accept very favorably, is that fancy
work and plain sewing come In for q share of at
tentIon. This book must not be confounded with
another volume OF cookery receipts by the same
author. These receipts are all presented as en-
tirely new, and arc recommended as having bean

Our neighbor, the Advance, is
panied at the discrepancy between
the editorial columns and editorial


correspondence of the EXAMINER. If
we reciprocated the implied interest,


we doubt not we might point ou,
many errors and discrepancies in the
course persued by our friend. We
don't choose to do SO for two or three
reasons, namely we haven't the
room. We had rather do him good
than injury, and then the EXAMINER
has bigger game in sight. We
will state for his especial benefit,
however, that there is the most cor.
dial understanding and good feeling
between the publisher and the editor
of this paper. The editor is not
ruled down; the publisher Is entitled
to his opinions and expresses them
very properly in the columns of his
own paper, and we have his hearty
lndorsement of our course, as wei
as that Of his numerous patrons, and

BEN BUTLER BELLIGERENT.-BenB Butler
rails loudly at the press for demanding the re-
peal Of his pet measure-the back-pay steal.
And we cannot doubt that the ominous una
nimity of the newspapers of the country on
this subject is little harassing to the soul of the
father of that stupendous iniquity. But nobody
knows better than Ben Butler that this unity
of sentiment and utterance on the part of
the press was not brought about by the
refusal of the law to allow newspaper exchan.
ges to pass through the mails free. Nobody
knows better than he does that the voice of
the press, which he seeks to sneer at and de-
ride, is in this matter clearly the voice of the
people. He cannot be blind to the great up
rising of the people from Maine to Texas, and
from thence to California; a movement which
has already resulted in the election of u Dem
ocrat in one place, Republican in another,
and an Independent in a third, according as
the one or the other has had the honesty and
courage to break loose from old and corrupt par
ty organizations and become leaders of the
popular crusade against monopoly and its leglt-
innate offspring, official corruption. 1t was
this movement that elected Governor Booth. in
California, and defeated Ben Butler, in Massa.
chusetts. Neither is Mr.. Butler ignorant of
the fact that free exchange of newspapers
does more to keep the people of the interior


informed in relation to current events than
any other agency whatever; but it may be for
this reason that the arch demagogue dreaded
the general exchange of papers and consequent
diffusion of knowledge which had sprung up
through the free exchange system. Country
papers, it is true, are little more than con.
densed reprints of the large and more favored
city papers; but they contain. usually, the main
features of the current events of the times.

SCREWS IN PLASTER WALLs.-When we
try to fasten brackets, strips of wood, etc., to
plaster walls by means of screws. it is often
found impossible to make screws hold firmly.
When we turn them in, the plaster breaks out
and our labor is in vain And yet screw well
set into plaster will hold very firmly. The
best plan is to enlarge the hole to about twice
the diameter of the screw, fill it with plaster
of Paris, such as is used for fastening the tops
of lamps, etc., and bed the screw In the SOIL
plaster. When the plaster has set, the screw
will be held very strongly.

4 WORD TO BoYs.-A word or two with
YOU. In short time you will be men Try
and be good men. Not longfaced, whining,
sanctimonous church dead heads, but good
sauare men. Not sneaks, drunkards or hang
ers on the skirts of others; but out and out
men of individual ideas. Do not aim to be
politicians, for as lot they are set of poor
devils, too lazy to work and not smart enough
to beg. Work out your own ideas. Don't 60
to sleep in the old ruts to be run over by men
of energy when they come tearing along. Learn
TO RELY upon Yourselves. Don't run your legs
off after girls. Stick to your business and be
straightforward, reliable. industrious, and right
up and down in all business affairs, like an old
fashioned saw, and girls will run after, and
catch you. too. Keep away from saloons 1t
You would save your health and money. If you
attend church to go home with the girls, don't
stand out of doors till you catch the epi<ootic;
but go in and toast your ungodly shins by the
fire; join in the chorus, be ready to march as
soon as the benediction has been pronounced,
then make for the very sweetest bird in the
bush. If you love girl and want to marry
her. don't grin like horse collar; wrinkle your
nose. bite wart on your little finger, and back
into it like baby into kettle of hot mush,
but ask like man. Start in business before
you are old enough to be grand-daddy. Find
ont early in life if you are fit for anything, wear
your suspenders crossed behind, have mind
of your own, stick to your shop when you have
one to stick to, and in ten years you will be on
the sure road to fortune, and the great work
of life becomes easier after that. If you feel
like writing for newspaper write for this one.
Ask whatever question you WILL Tell US how
you are getting along. Don't stay at home till
you sour, but get out in the world and stretch
your legs Pitch IN, and in nine times out OF
ten you will succeed. Hang back and the world

(C1IPPIN0s FROM OUR ExoHAN0Es.


THE Vermont Farmer says: Mr.. Emery, Of
Worcester, after trying several ways Of feed
ing horses, has settled Down on the following:
He feeds whole hay with six quarts of bran
and corn meal, half and half, twice day, wet,
He has fed so for the last year. His horses
look finely, and he works them hard, but atthe
same time he is careful man with team.
He intends to have them fed at stated times,
once in twelve hours. This is much better
than feeding meal alone, as the coarse bran
separates the particles of meal and prevents
it's packing so hard as it otherwise would IN
the stomach of the horse; but even this is not
q safe way with all horses. The concentrated
food should be more divided with coarse fod-
der. The omnibus lines in cities have had OK.
perience on large scale, and find the only way
is to feed meal, or meal and bran, mixed with
about an equal weight of cut hay or straw.
This gives abundance of strong feed, and also
bulk, leaving the contents of the stomach in
porous condition, 20 that the gastric juice can
circulate freely through the mass, and come in
contact with every portion at once. Feeding
concentrated food to horses without admixture
with coarse fodder is the fruitful cause of stom-
ach complaints, colics, indammations, blind
staggers. etc. We have known many horses
lost by feeding meal alone, or meal with smell
quantity of bran.

The DANGER OF SEDATIvEs.-The Popu-
lar Science Monthly gives this warning on the
important matter of using sedatives for the
little ones:


One of the great dangers attending the use
of various sedatives employed in the nursery,
is that they tend to produce the opium habit.
These quack medicines owe their soothing and
quieting effects to the action of opium, and the
infant is by them given morbid appetite for
narcotic stimulants. The offer for sale OF
such nostrums should be prohibited, as tending
to the physical and moral deterioration Of the
race. In India mothers give to their infants
sugar-pills containing opium, and the result is
languid, sensual race of hopeless debauchees.
In the United States the poisonous dose is ad-
ministered under another name; but the con-
sequences will probably be the same.

Do You WISH TO SUCCEED ?-Young men,
do you wish to succeed in your undertakingsg
There is law of success, and it is certain in
it's results We care not who you are, what
have been your opportunities, how you are sit
uated in life, success is yours if you are reso-
lutely determined to follow it's laws. We care
not whether you are farmers, mechanics, or
laborers; sons of rich men or poor men; with
friends or without friends; you can succeed ii
you are willing to work for it. Without en-
terprise, perseverance, and patient effort, life
will be failure and no genius, no brilliant op-
portunities can save you.


But first of all you must accept and proftby
this fact; without knowledge you can do moth
ing we'll This is the first step, but not the
final one The true path to success lies be-
tween knowledge and enthusiasm. Without
enthusiasm you will attempt nothing, without
knowledge you cannot succeed in what you at
tempt Combine both in your service, and you
can accomplish anything. College Journal.

In our last issue our Hastings correspon-

had stored wheat at the Castle Rock eleva-
tor. finding that they could do better with
their wheat, presented their receipts and
demanded the wheat. but were informed
that they could not get it. The correspon-
dent desired 10 know what the law in the

swer that the law is on the side Of the ele-
va;or. In the case of Rahilly against
Wilson, decided a few days ago by U. s.
Circuit for the Sth Judicial District, opin-
ion by Judge Dillon, it was held that when
grain is stored in warehouse and a re-
ceipt taken, the title to the wheat passes to
the warehouseman that he does not SIM
ply become a bailor for the storer, but that
he becomes the actual owner of the wheat
This is u matter Of very great Importance

makers to consider whether the law in this

A curious incident occurred in

days ago. An old black horse had
Just been driven into the yard hitch
ed to a watering cart. The belly
band, an antiquated concern, gave
way in an attempt to back the cart
to its place. The water being heav-
ier than the horse, the consequence
was that as the cart dropped and the
shafts rose, the horse went with
them, hanging by his neck, his hind
feet two or three feet from the ground
The animal struggled and kicked in
terror, evincing as decided a disin
clination to die by hanging as hu-
man being would have done in q

came extended in the excess of his
fear, and froth stood upon his lips
He was rescued from his dangerous
situation after much trouble. When
he touched the ground, the poor
beast stood for moment apparently
bewildered, carried away perhaps by
the excess of his emotions at his for,
tunate release. Recovering himself
however, he looked round upon his
rescuers, and approaching them and
quietly rubbed his nose against the
