B at* la a Cellar.
Cellars should be built always with
egard to safety from vermin, says
iermantown Telegraph. Once those
et a foothold in the walls or under
he floor it is almost impossible to dis
odge them, and if they are poisoned
he dead eareasses are as bad as the
ive animals. So that the construe**
ion of the cellar is worth thinking of.
The floor should be made of con*
rete, over a layer of broken stone,
veil rammed down. Eats can not bur
ow under such a floor and gain en
rance in that way. Then the walls
hould be built up of stone laid in
nortar, and all the crevices should be
Hied with small chips to make the
vail tight The foundation of the
vail should be made at least 6 inches
vider than the wall outside, as the
ats will try* to make their way along
he wall and never make the offset
upward to get under it.
The beams of the floor above the
ellar should be bedded in the wail,
nd the wall built close around the
nds of them. This also insures
Dundness in the beams and prevents
3tling,and there is nothing better for
>e preservation of timber than lime.
It hu been recommeneded that the
holes made by the rata be smeared
with tar, which is offlenstve to tnem,
or to place some concentrated lye on
the bottom of the barrows, by which
the rats’ feet are burned. This so dis
gusts them that they leave the prem
ises But there will altvays be trouble
unless the walls are built at the first
in the way mentioned._
Canned Vegetable*
The New York Journal of Com
raerce says: There is hardly an article
in the line of vegetables and fruit that
can not be purchased more cheaply in
cans than in natural condition, except
during a short period each year when
the market is glutted with the green
stock. In the instance of vegetables
the canned article frequently turns
out to be more palatable, of better
flavor and in every way superior to
the green truck sold by the average
retail grocer. This doubtless accounts
in some measure for the steady in
crease in the business in those partic
ular lines. At the present time prices
are comparatively low, or, at the least,
moderate; and the impression prevails
that as long as cost is kept within the
means of the great body of consumers,
the consumption is bound to steadily
increase. It may be claimed, and
properly, too, that the cheapness of
dried vegetables and fruit is an obsta
cle, since they are in favor where
household economy is forced by cir
cumstances; but, admitting this,
enough facts remain to justify the
opinion that the canned goods trade is
more likely to gain steadily than to
fall off.
preserving milk.—The Herald’s
European edition reports marked suc
cess in a method adopted in France
for the preservation of milk.
It has been found that when taken
fresh from the cows and placed in a
receptacle with compressed oxygen
and finally stored in twenty-five gal
lon cans at a pressure of two atmos
pheres, it will travel for months in
perfect condition. It is said that milk
thus treated and sent from Lyons to
London develops neither germs nor
ferments, while it will stand a temper
ature almost up to the boiling point
without coagulating. It is claimed by
M. Villon, who has experimented in
this way with milk on a large Beale,
that when so treated it is freed from
germs of tuberculosis. But this has
yet to be conclusively proven. If the
progress suggested by him is made
practicable for dairymen generally it
will be of great value to consumers.
Some very decided improvement in the
present method of canning and ship
ping milk is desirable. Much will be
gained if farmers at a long distance
form great centers of population can
be enabled to supply these markets
with milk in a perfectly healthy and
sweet condition.— N. Y. Herald.
▲ New Summer Drink.—An En
glish dairy paper tells of a new use for
Bkim milk. After the milk has been
creamed by the centrifuge the skim
milk is sterilized by heating to destroy
all bacteria or germs of ferment or of
other possible means of injury to its
keeping. The milk is then charged
with pure carbonic acid gas at a high
pressure and placed in syphon bottles,
from which it can be drawn at any
time. The milk so treated, it is
claimed, will remain sweet indefinitely.
The medical profession has taken hold
of the carbonated milk and is pre
scribing it for persons who have not
been able to digest whole milk. It is
said to be very valuable and most
easily digested.
A Cause of Baldness.—The wear
ing of tight, close-fitting hats and
caps has been found responsible for
much of the baldness among men.
Men never lose a hair below where
the hat touches the head. The close
cap holds the heat and perspiration,
thereby the hair glands become weak
and the hair falls out Hence women’s
bonnets are now pronounced a bless
ing by some men afflicted with bald
ness, since women are never bald ex
cept by disease.—Ex.
Danisa Pudding.—Put into one and
a half pints of cold water half a teacup
ful of pearl tapioca and let it soak for
half an hour, after which boil it until
clear and soft,which will take about an
hour, stirring frequently while boiling;
add a quarter of a teacupful of sugar,
half a tumbler of currant jelly and a
little salt, steadily stirring until all
the jelly is dissolved. Put into a mold
and serve cold with cream and sugar.
Cocoanut Pudding, No. 3. — One
pint of milk with the yelks of two
eggs well beaten, two tablespoonfuls
of cocoanut, half a teacup of rolled
cracker crumbs and flavoring to fancy. j
Bake half an hour, then spread over it
a frosting made by beating the whites
of two eggs and a teacupful of sugar.
Put in the oven to brown.
SWEET POTATO BUDDING.—Mix With
one pound of sweet potatoes, grated
raw, half a teacupful of molasses, two
beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of but
ter with two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and enough milk to make a thin mix
ture; add one teaspoonful of ginger
and spice to taste. Bake one and a
half hours.
Coooanut Pudding.—Swell in two
teacupfuls of boiling water, one of
sago, and add one of sugar, one and a
half teacupfuls of grated cocoanut;
mix the whole thoroughly with one
fourth peck of tart juicy apples
chopped fine, and bake for one hour
in a slow oven.
Tapioca Pudding. — Soak seven
tablespoonfuls of tapioca in one quart
of milk over night; add half a dozen
eggs well beaten, two grated lemons,
sugar to taste and vanilla or other
flavoring. Bake in a moderately
quick oven.
Cbacker Pudding,—One quart of
scalded milk, five tablespoonfuls of
rolled cracker, small piece of butter j
four eggs; bake one-half hour, and |
serve with any kind of sweet sauce.

REPUBLICAN MATTERS.
HIS WORD FOR SUGAR.
President Cleveland** Indefensibly •Auda
cious Letter to the House.
President Cleveland's letter was
remarkable for nothing else so much
as its indefensible audacity. It is
not the first time that he has under*
taken the , unwarranted liberty of
meddling with the constitutional
duties of a co-ordinate branch of the
government; that he should do so
openly and make his act a matter of
official public record is to say the
least astounding. HeyondHfiie there
is hothing surprising in Vho letter.
He makes a partisan argument in
favor of free ruw materials and then,
as if'mcrely by incidental mention,
declares in favor of the sonate sugar
schedule.
as 10 sugar, as long ago as re Dr nary
27, he was authoritatively pledged
to the interests of the trust, even
before the tariff bill had been re
ported to the senate. On that day
the Democratic senators held a
caucus on the subject, and Senator
White, jwho had already been ap
pointed and confirmed as associate
justice of the supreme court, parti
cipated in its deliberations for tho
purpose of announcing tho pres
ident’s position towards sugar. He
announced that the president had,
both before and since March 4, 1893.
promised toat there should be a duty
on “both raw and' refined” sugars.
He said that he had continued to act
as senator after having been con
firmed as associate justice of the
Supreme court lor the purpose of
explaining to the caucus the pledges
of the president with regard to
sugar.
So the senators knew where tho
president stood on that subject, says
the Kansas City Journal, and the
only purpose he could have had in
handing this letter to Chairman
Wilson was to notify the house that
the sugar schedulo had his full coun
tenance, and to let it be known by
the senate's conferrees that he would
have them save the sugar trust even
at the expense of the iron and coal
trusts. '
It was generally believed In the
best informed circles in Washington
that if an agreement could be made
on the sugar schedule a report could
be made within two days. Mr.
Cleveland undertook to make such
an agreement possible by openly pro
nouncing in favor of the trust
schedule which was originally writ
ten by the secretary of tho treasury.
Hogg;'* Revolution.
Governor Hogg of Texas has been
performing a public service again.
In offering his prediction that a rev
olution impends, in accordance with
the prevailing fashion to which none
yields more readily than Mr, Hogg,
the governor goes to the extent of
minutely describing the more
palpable and noticeable effects of
the same and specifies as a distinc
tive mark of his revolution that Chi
cago's “lofty buildings will be
spattered with the hearts, lungs and
livers of citizens.”
This, says the Detroit Tribune, is
a useful symptomatology. Nobody
is going astray as to Governor
Hogg’s revolution, and take it to be
a Sunday school picnio or a common
weal army. Now, when the people
of Chicago wake of a morning and
find the hearts, lungs and livers of
Citizens spattered all over their
lofty buildings, they may turn to
each other in all confidence and say:
“This is revolution,” and proceed
about their avocations with the as
surance that it is only born of a full
understanding of, surrounding con
ditions. Travelers, too, in proceed
ing through the second city of the
land, and noticing extraneous sub
stance upon the lofty buildings
which proves on examination to be
the hearts, lungs and livers of
citizens, will recognize the revolu
tion at once and insist upon the
usual excursion rates.
With Governor Hogg's distinct
specification of symptoms, there can
be no misunderstanding. The sight
of citizens without hearts, lungs and
livers will mislead nobody. Unless
those parts are spattered on tho
lofty buildings of Chicago the oc
currence will promptly be pro
nounced a fake and treated as such.
It is no time to inquire why the
governor insists upon hearts, lungs
and livers to the exclusion of other
useful organs, notably the stomach,
pancreas, and vermiform appendix;
why he selects the lofty buildings of
Chicago rather than of another city,
or why the viscera of citizens and
not of aliens orlndians are not taxed.
The governor seems to know whereof
he speaks. The only thing for the
people to do is to extend him their
gratitude and keep a sharp lookout
for the appearances he indicates.
On a New lack to tlio l'le Counter.
No good can be expected from the
Populist party, for the reason that
it is made up pf misfits and freaks of
all kinds who have no proper knowl
edge of public questions and no
ability to order public affairs.
Many of them were chronic office
seekers in Other parties, and’failing
there, entered the Populist party in
the hope of accomplishing their am
bition. These men now seek to ride
into power with a new party, but
they have been tried long enough to
show that their rejection by the old
parties was wise, and that to again
intrust them with official authority
would be folly.—Denver Kepublican.
PopuiUtic fc\onomy.
Gov. Altgeld says he keeps posted
on the uews of the day by reading
only the beadlines in the newspapers.
He doubtless also keeps up with the
drama by reading the bill posters,
gets his religion from church
notices, and grows fat on pudding by
chewing the string. The average
Populist is a great economist.—

more to tho point, we won’t have
’em, dam ’em. * * *
Cleveland's letter to Wilson which
was read in the house hit tho nail on
tho head. He ought to take a club
and go up there and knock some of
the party traitors on tho head. Why,
if we ain’t careful we’ll lose the in

just the same as givin’ up the flto

worse than the niggers of the South
was after the Freedman's burow
busted. But while Cleveland is in
with the sugar trusters it is to his
credit that he wants more free trade
and lots of income tax. That will
pull tho South together, which was

Tbe Nicaraguan Canal.
The Boston Herald is in favor ot
the construction of tlio Nicaragua

in this suggestion. Some objection

Rabelais were: "1 am going to take a
leap in the dark; let down tho curtain

to life was thus expressed: “Let me die
amid the sound of delicious music and
the fragrance of flowers.” Keats’ last
words were a poem in themselves: “I

Rums’ dying words were: “Don’t let

A Good Manure Trap.
Rural New Yorker says that a good
manure trap can be made out of nails
and boards by almost any one who can
hold a hammer. The best form is that
of an open shed in a pasture. It may
be temporary or fixed. Shelter and
shade are the bait for these traps. In
hot or rainy weather the stock will go
there for rest and shelter. The result
is that manure accumulates on these
spots. It is a first rate plan to put one
of these traps on the poorer spots in the
field. That is where you want to catch
the manure.
