of their neglect hare often come under
my obs«i vaeion. Two instances must

In New Hampshire, in order to adupt
my lecture to local needs, an we passed
• larg i jouso and spacious l>*rns, with
all the surroundings neglected and
forlorn, my escort said: "Here llvew

For a few years it was her ambition
and delight to adorn her now home

longer permit ‘such waste of her time
on good-for-nothing posies.’ Driven

to this miser's wrotched home. To

and still a wilderness, ho brought his
tbride, a cultivated lady from Detroit,
who cheerfully mado tho best of their
log hut. Soon flowers, shrubs, and
vines sprang up on evury side, uotil a
veritable Iiden, largely planted and
tilled by her own hands, surrounded
th it humble home. In a few years a

Wuy Cuoi.kra Kills—When an ad
venturous scientist declared that he
had swallowed any amount of cholera
cultures without injury, there was a
good deal of incredulous head-shak
ing, and while the doubters could not
really dispute the statements made,
they insisted that there must be some
thing behind it all; for if cholera
bacilli were really themselves and no
body else, why didn’t the man die?
And now it appears that it isn't the
well-bred properly conducted bacillus
that does the mischief, but a substance
that they manufacture from the con
tents of the human interior where they
take up their abiding place. The
bac’lli proceed to form what is known
as nitrite, a most deadly poison. This
substance is by the bacilli generated
from many vegetables, especially cauli
flower, lettuce, beets and turnips.
Meat contains but a limited amount
of convertible material, hence the pre
vailing idea that vegetables are to be
eaten with prudence during the
cholera seasons, while meat in small
quantities and Indian corn, barlev and
the like are much safer articles of diet,
it is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestines
of nun and animals that are capable
of generating nitrites, but that the
chou-ru bacillus produces over forty
thousand times more than any other
creature. If there is no suitable sub
stance found by the cholera bacilli
upon which to work, they form lactic j
and < tlier acids, but these rarely cause
seii.ms ills. They sometimes give rise !
to u liat is known as cholerine, which j
\
frequently prevails to a considerable
extent during epidemics of cholera.—

"ati Rrnonr CEM.Ans—A cellar can
be ao constructed as to be waterproof
if the bottom, or the floor, is first cov
ered with cement, the nails built
thereon laid in cement and the exterior
of the walls covered with cement.
Tills makes practically a water-tight
basin. The cement used must be the
best 1'ortlsnd cement, one part; clean,
sharp sand, one part. After a cellar
is built it is not so easy to make it
waterproof. .still it can be done, i

followed you will succeed. Hut if
cheap materials are used and the work
badly done, you will be sure to fail. A

Test kok Oi.ko.—Most people can
easily distinguish between genuine
butter and its various imitations by
the flavor. Hut there is an immense
amount of very poorly flavored butter
which is no better than oleomargarine.
A test that will always distinguish
genuine butter from its counterfeits
has been discovered by Dr. Jlenry
He ft man of Philadelphia. A spoonful
or tw< of the sample is put In a nar
row cup and quickly lieu ted to the
boiling point. If it'is true butter it
will boll quietly and foam up in a mass
of lino bubbles, often overflowing over
the side of the cup. If it is butterine
or oleomargarine the sample when
heated will foam up but little, but will
crackle and sputter as it boils. After
one or two trials, any one cun decide
with certainty what the sample offered
Consists of. No fraud can escape the
test.—American Cultivator. •
ItiTTKit Chkam—The reason for bitter
cream is that it is the result of keeping
it too long, or, In other words, of hav
ing old cream. Cream kept from thirty
six to forty-eight hours is very likely
to be bitter. It is produced by fer
inentntlon, which takes placo at low
temperature rather than high when
the change is sufllcient to produce bit
terness, While thero are other causes
for bitter cream, as, for instance, bit
ter weeds which the cows may feed on
in the pasture, yet the main cause is
old cream. Cream Bhould be churned
within thirty-six hours of the time of

what it was all about. To ray

that tho two men were fighting
about tho $117 and tho receipted bill,

had dropped out of my

speculated upon what might have
happened if thoy hadn’t quarreled.
I should never have rocovero I tho

certainly have lost my situation,
i tint might have changed tho whole
current of my career, and instead of

REPUBLICAN1 DOCTRINE.
(MILSKKVKE KKFOKM I’ltOCLAAl A
To Ilia People of Nebraska and fleorgla.
The voters in the state of Nebraska,

voters of the slate of lieorgia, who are
tUi, 1Mere tlie voters of two great
-•ominonwcalths of this republic of ours
have entered into a co-partnership for
tlie purpose of carrying on civil service
reform under entirely reciprocal rela
tions, being purely democratic in itsad
ministrution.
The head of the interior department,
lion. Hoke Smith, is charged among
other things with administering the fol

"Third, to the public service afore
said in the departments at Washington

-states ana territories and the District
of Columbia upon the basis of popula
tion as ascertained at the lust preced
ing census.’'
The ba-is of population is a definite
basis for Secretary .’Smith as a sworn
officer in making his appointments. In
his report to the senate. May 31, the
secretary says that between March i,

appointments from the states.

we find there is returned to each voter

ary paid to one clerk appointed, when
divided, as an annual compensation to

In other words, democratic civil ser

Market, of tile World.
The liritish market is as free to Amer
ica today as to all the rest of the world,
ll is open to the wheat-producers of
the I’nited States just as it is open to
the wheat-producers of Canada, llussla, j
India and all other wheat-producing- i
countries.
The English consumer will make the |
best bargain he can, regardless of the
country from which he purchases.
Englishmen usually buy, not out of
gratitude or kindness for those with
whom they deal, but where they can
secure the best bargains, but it some
times happens that they prefer other
countries than the United States as
their customers, for truly the United
States lias caused them more anxiety
iu holding their place in the markets
outside of Europe than all other coun- •
tries combined.
No free trader who lias happened in
public during the present tariff contro
versy has yet pointed out a single av
enue by which the United States might
expect to tiud the markets of the world
more open or freer titan they are today
to the product of the North American
continent.
Every country, Great llritian includ
ed, lias some form of tarriff or custom
house laws, none of which appear at
present to be burdensome to them, an I
least no talk of repeal seems to be ap |
parent in the legislative departments |
of otliereountries. Canada has strength- !
cued her protective system rather than |
the loweringof her duties. The United ■
Mates has one great lesson to learn,
w hen clamoring tor the open markets
of the world, namely the same rule that
gives to the United Mates au open
market, also opens the markets of the
United Mates to the world. While
otliereountries are protected, how fool
ish it appears to us that we should be
clamoring for free trade.
Our markets at home afford us the
greatest security, '.ill percent of all
products from the ground are consumed
by our own people. The 7 per cent of
surplus which we offer to other coun
tries must come in competition with a
like surplus from other governments.
Here the cheaper goods must sell.
American wheat produced by the high
er wage and higher level of American
agriculture, offers its surplus of 7 per
cent of its whole product in comoeti-j
tion with India’s product, produced by :
serf labor and cheaper system of agri- ;
culture.
l'lie reader is cautioned against the
fallacy which some men teach, that be
cause of this one-seTenth being our sur
plus going into the markets of the
world in competition with the cheapest
products of the world, does not prove
that all our products are forced into a
like competition. The best proof of
this fact is that our protective system
prevents the countries of the world I
trom landing upon our shores this same '
cheap product with which our surplus
competes from coming into active com
petition by reason of a high protective
duty, secured in the McKinley law. a
single instance is sufficient to show the
operation of this principle.
’1 lie returns for the custom house at
Detroit, Mich, show that for the year
ending June ill), ISSfi, when there ‘was
no tariff on barley. 410.055 bushels
valued at S250.000, passed the custom
house at that point. The McKinley 1
bill, wnicligave a protection of 20 cents
oer bushel, went into operation in 1801.
1 he returns for the year enning Jute
3(), 1*<j3, under th* operation of this
MeKiuley law show that only *11 bush
els o< barley, valued at S'-"' ', "ere en
tered ilurin^' the year. Here is an apt
illustration of the competition afforded
in the markets of the world.
Open markets widen are not found
save in rare instances, bring too whole
product of one country into competi
tion with the surplus product of other
countries. The protective tariff laws
are iutended to prevent this surplus
from competing with the amount re
quired for home consumption. Our
fanners, therefore, can understand
what a wonderful advantage there is to
them in the operation of the McKinley
law which first pave to the product of
the farm a reasonable duty, as it cut
off many millions of the foreign com
petitive surplus, allowing a higher and
better rate to the home product in home
competition.
Fuclng Their Folly.
Kansas City .Journal.
The tariff eoncessionistsof the senate
are now face to fare with the vote for
the confirmation of their scandalous
nets. In their whisky-and-sugar intoxi
eution the managers of the patchwork
believe that it will be sent to the house
without further change. The demands
of the trusts have been satisfied, the
priee lias been paid aad I he only thing
remaining to be done is a mere formal
ity. Free wool, free lumber and the
income tax have been retained in the
bill to tickle the risibilities of the free
traders. Collars and cuffs have been
protected to silence the threats of one
of the New York senators. Sugar is
taxed to pay the debt due the powerful
trust \\ liisky has been doctored for
future uses, and the one remaining pro
cedure necessary to complete the deals
is to have the eoneesMonists in open
senate certify to their «wn acts in com
mittee of the whole.
They know the bill is neither fish,
Ilesh nor fowl. They know that in no
way does it answer the demands of
their party nor fulfill their own pledges
made lo the people.
They know that the concessions they
have made will be of no benefit to the
country, and they have never presumed
to alleged that they were made for any
such purpose. They know that, with
the single exception of the collars and
cuff gift, northern interests have been
assailed and the demands of tiiose of
the south have been received with
favor. The great agricultural interests
of the nortli and west have received no
recognition, while ttie peanut crop, the
rice crop and the sugar crop of the
south have been treated with the
utmost concern.
The bill will never again seethe sen
ate in its present form, and the sena
tors know it; but they are self-con
tained in the consciousness that they
have individually and collectively, paid
embarrassing obligations, and the
future must take care of itself. On the
principle that it is not well to “cross a
bridge till you come to it,’’ they will
trust to luck for a way out of the
depths of their folly.
Cleveland ami the Democratic Tress.
The New York Sun, a reliable and
strictly democrat ic paper, has published
the most scathing criticism on Mr.
Cleveland’s public utterances that have
ever oocured in the columns of any par
ty paper against a chief magistrate
holding to the same political faith.
The following quotation is from the
Sun of June I t, lain.
\Ve attempted the other day to trace in
the published speeches and writings of
Grover Cleveland the origin of much of
that bitter hostility of labor to capital,
of the employed to the employer, which
is one of the most unfortunate condi
tions of the tunes. The efforts of Mr.
Cleveland to emphasize class distinc
tions to array the less prosperous citi
zens against their more successful fel
low citizens, to excite and increase the
discontent which arises from a persis
tent contemplation of the idea that the
superior fortune of another is essential
ly an injustice and a wrong to the less
fortunate, have been too ostentatious
and too frequently repeated to leave
any doubt as to bis purpose. Such pro
vocations to discontent have been at all
times and in all parts of the world the
chief weapons of socialistic agitator,
and the fruit thereof is riot, brigand
age, murder, arson, and anarchy.
For nearly thirty days past the coun
try lias witnessed an impressive illus
tration of the practical results of Mr.
Cleveland's socialistic teachings. It is
no more than fair to present the calen
dar of disorder in connection with the
precepts which a president of the
United States has addressed to the mis
guided, tiie turbulent, and the desper
ate among the sons of toil:

.lust eight years before these out
breaks. Mr. Cleveland, in a sp&eial
message to congress, had informed the
millers of Fniontown and of Mill Creek
that "the discontent of the employed is
due, in a large degree, to the grasping
and heedless exactions of employers."
The Halitnee Sheet.
New York Sun (Deni.): If the tariff,
bill were td become a law as, it stands
tod.i\, the net effect upon the fortunes
of the individual American citizen
would be this:
No appreciable reduction in the cost,
of living-: no material diminution in the
market price of the commodities upon,
which the consumer now pavs his.indi
rect tax for the support of the govern
ment. but. on the ottier hand,a uewtand,
hateful tax directly imposed upon.every
citizen with an income of over -M 00U
and upon every citizen, rich or poor’
whose thrift has saved and whose pru

of the ordinary ways. J
An unreformed tariff and am. unnec
essary income tax’. No gain on one
and on the other, a new. direct, exas

man who pays it the enemy of the party

Power of Sympathy*
It is acknowledged that most women'
possess the quality of sympathy to a re
markable extent. Mrs. Browning pos
sessed this gift; it vibrated on the chord
of poetic expression in her. Jane Aus
tin and Charlotte Bronte led retired
lives, but they hail the power perpetual
ly to pass out of their circumscribed in
dividuality to that of others, and the
genius to retain and turn to account the
fleeting impressions of their passing
contact with individuals. The darlings
and the ornaments of society are the
women who can throw themselves beat
into the interest of the moment; if to
this sensitive nature belongs a native
sincerity, confidence is attracted, friend
ships are made and retained. Mme.
Becamire is, perhaps, the best type of
this gift of social sympathy allied to a
certain reality of nature. She attracted
the best and most gifted of her time.
When age had marred her beauty, pov
erty succeeded wealth, and partial blind
ness rendered her infirm, her salon in
the Abbaye aux Bois was still the resort
of eminent men and women of the pe
riod. She was not a wit, she was always
somewhat shy; but she had the wish to
win love rather than admiration, and
possessed the taot of drawing out the
bust gifts in others. She bad the genius
of friendship, her steadfastness could
not be shaken. Sympathy gives an an
gelio grace to virtue.
Irregular honesty Is harder to handle
than regular dishonesty.
Love is a i reature of circumstances.
