Gage county is glorying over the acquisition of a new town named Cla tonia, about lifteen miles northwest of Beatrice. Tne town is built on the new extension of the Rock Island and several buildings have already been erected and others are contracted for. Governor James E. Boyd has ap pointed Hon. J. W. Love, of Fremont, a commissioner to represent this state in the Nicaragua canal convention to bo heid in New Orleans, La. Mr. Love has been over both the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes and can speak from personal observation. Tho hearing of tho mandamus pro ceedings in the district court at Clay Center, wherein ex-Speaker Elder et al. sought to compel the county clers to issue certificates to them was had last week before Judge Hastings, and in obedience to the court's orders tho clerk has issued the certificates. Thomas Kildon, an employe of Hatt & Otto of riattsmouth, met with a serious accident. While under the influence of liquor he was running his team at nbreaK-neck speed, and, when turning a sharp curve in the road was thrown out. One ear was nearly cut oil and his face baaiy bruised. The tax iist for 1S92 shows the val uation of Buffalo county real estate to be $1. 998. 7S4. and the valuation of personal property is $1,409. 214. The railroad and telegraph property in the county is worth $752,077. Tho valu ation of Kearney is placed at $1,075, 530. W. IL Arlman of Cuming county has contracted for nearly 100 acres of ground for sugar beet planting for next season. Tne result of this year's crop so far exceeded his anticipation that he is encouraged to enter more extensively into the business next year. The sportsmen of Hastings are con siderably wrought up over the ques tion as to whether a match hunt for a game supper shall be arranged for this fall. Numbers of tnem are opposed to such a hunt, which they say leads to the unnecessary destruction of game, and favor a sine shoot at biue rocks instead. Tne committee appointed to locate the new German Baptist college vis ited Hastings last week after examin ing several other cities in the west which were competitors, and decided in favor of Hastings as the most elii gible place. Work on a $30. 000 build ing wiii be started as soon as possible next spring. it is not generally known, but nev ertheless true, that the Woodman Lin seed Oii Works at Omaha will this year consume almost the entire crop of llax seed in this state. Shippers have a home market where thev can obtain more than its shipping value, and get quick returns, two very desir able considerations. Boyd Sellers, one of the best known railroad men in this section, says a Chadron dispatch, was caught between two cars last night at Orin Junction and instantly kiiled. He was a young man and had only run a train a few months. Scllors had lived in Chadron five years and had a largo number of friends. He was a bright, steady go ing young gentleman. The report reached Aurora last week that James A. Hickey, who went down to the Nemaha river hunting with his bromer. in pulling his gun from the w:on discharged it, tearing the top of his head off, killing him instant!-. He leaves a wife and some children. A Lincoln newspaper man wai elected, assessor at the iato 'election. The Cortland Gizette says: Our schools whitth have been closed for a wi!t on account of diphtheria, begun again. Monday, as there was a death in the family of Mr. Ed Smith from the same disease, the board closed tha schools again on Wednesday and they will now remain closed until ihe con tagion is completely stamped out. The Bank df Inland was closed last week by order of tne supreme court, upon a petition filed by the attorney general. The Bank of Inland was organized last summer and commenced business on September 1. Its officers and directors were principally farmers and small merchants and none of them had had any previous experience in the banking business. James Hickey. his brother Gerorge ana Pearl started from Auburn for lue Nishnabotnn river in Missouri fishing, and when they had gone about one mile in Missouri, the gun heid by James was. in some unaccountable manner discharged, and the whole 6ide of his head blown off. The re mains were brought home. He leaves a wife and two small childen. The state banking board has taken another bank under its wing. This time it is the Bant of Johnson, located at Johnson, Nemaha county. Under direction of the board, Examiner Mor ris of Humboldt has taken charge of institution. Nothing will be Known of its exact condition until the exam iner submits a report, which wiil probably be done in a few dajs. Charles Vandeventer, a farmer liv ing near Plattsmouth, was the victim of a peculiar stabbing affray. He will not tell where it was done or who did it. He does say this much, however, that he met a man who jumped down oil of a hayrack and did the work. Tne would-be assassin aimed for Van deventer's heart, the blade penetrating just below the left nippie and barely missing his heart. A Niobrara dispatch says: Chester Norton, republican, made a demand of County ClerK Van Camp yesterday for his certificate of election as represent ative from Knox and Boyd counties, but was refused. He then requested a certified copy of tho vote from both counties and the request was granted. The cierk says he does not intend to give up the certificate until he is thor oughly convinced to whom it belongs. The Union Pacific railway has a corps of surveyors working just east of Mead locating sidetracks, which wiil be laid before tho snow Hies, and are making necessary preparations for the burning of dirt, to be used for bal lasting the roadbed. This enterprise will employ in the neighborhood of 100 men, and will bo kep: running day and night this winter, and in aii prob ability the greater part of next sum mer. Official returns from screnty-on counties have been received by Secre tary Allen, and they show mat both preposed amendments to the constitu tion were defeated. On provides for the election by the people of three railway commissioners and the other for investment of the school fund. A majority of all votes cast for repre sentatives is required to carry an amendment, but oniy threo counties thus far reported gave tho necessary number of votes. During an exciting high wind which prevailed at Utica, some children were playing around the barn of John Ma son, a farmer living four miles south of that place, and one of them thought it would be fun to light a fire. He did so and in a short time the barn, gran aries, corn cribs, hay and straw were a mass of ruins. The amount of the loss to Mr. Mason is considerable, as all his wheat, oats, corn and hay were, destroyed. Ml his stock was rescued. Tne first case under the valued pol icy law passed by the last legislature, was on trial in Nebraska City last week. Last February the store build ing of Henry Bacheier was burned. He was insured in the insurance com pany of North America for $1,500. Tne company refused payment on the ground that the building was not en tirely destroyed and ceuld be repaired at nominal cost. A verdict was brought in awarding the plaintiff the full amount with interest from the dato of the lire. State Superintendent Goudy has gathered statistics which are of inter est to several districts of Nebraska. He has compiled a statement showing the percentage of the school popula tion enrolled in leading cities of the state and also the percentage of the number enrolled found in the high school departments. Of the school population of Omaha 49 per cent is enrolled; Lincoln. 39: Beatrice. 62; Grand Island. 71: Fremont Co; Kear ney, 53; Nebraska City. 51; Platts mouth, 47. John Kobinson and B. S. Coiyer were severely injured while attempt ing to. hoist a bundle of iron rods to one of the upper stories of the Burr block in Lincoln. The rods became entangled in the network of telephone wires that are stretched through the alley in the rear ot the building. A ladder was raised, and while the men were trying to free the rods the rope broke and threw them to the stone pavement Kobinson falling about thir ty feet. Both were unconscious for some time, but will recover. A dispatch from Stewart, Holt coun ty, says: "A disastrous prairie fire, which originated from a spark from a chimney on a farm house near Bassett about noon today, is still raging. The head of the fire can be seen tonight from here, fully twenty miles due south. The area of the burned dis trict averages three miles wide and fully thirty miies long. Five farm houses and many outbuildings have been destroyed. It is estimated that 5.000 tons of hay have already been burned, and much more will go. No loss of Hfo has been reported as yet. It is expected that by Saturday, Nov. 26. the Burlington will be run ning trains into Sheridan, Wyo., a distance of nearly a thousand miles from Omaha. Heavy work on a cut three miles from the Burlington's ob jective point for the present, has se riously interfered with grading, but the graders have finally succeced in getting through the obstruction and wiil now have plain sailing into the big cattle country of the north. Wednesday was the day set for the triumphal entry of the Burlington into its -furthermost northern town, but bad weather and heavy grades have delayed the big force which is laying nearly ",000 feet of iron a day.

Gkaxd Inland, Neb., Nov. 22. ' Special Telegram to The Omaha Bee. Not in several years has a more se rious and distressing accident occurred on the Union Pacific than the accident which took place this morning at 6:30 at Alda siding, eight miles west of Grand Island, when express train No. I S, going at a rate of forty-five miies an hour, crashed into an extra freight I train standing on tho switch. Tho passenger train, which was due here at 5 o'clock and at Omaha at 10:40. was neariv an hour and a haif lute, and striding the grade west of , Alda Engineer McDonald of the pas- senger train, determined to mune up ' some time, puiled the throttle open, with the result as indicated. The freight train had been doing considerable switcning on the siding and after the work had been completeu tne engine was comparatively dead at the head of the siding. Tne morning was loggy, and unmindful of danger and resting secure in tho thought that the switch was properly placed, the engineer and fireman of tho extra waited for the passenger train to rush by. but the switch had not been closed and tno passenger train brougnt death to four men and fatally wounded three others, through the criminal negli gence of the switchtender. The men killed are: .1. W. KEELEK. conductor of tha freight. Grand Island. Ho leaves a wife and two children. BARNEY M'DONALD. engineer of tho passenger. North Platte. He leaves a wife, but no children. GL'S BAUUELT. engineer of the freight, North Platte. He leaves a wife and three children. IRA OWENS, fireman of the fraight. North Platte. Ho leaves a wife and five children. WILLIAM COSTELLO, fireman of the passenger. Grand Island, single; frightfully scalded, ooth anules frac tured, uiedat 2 u. m WILLIAM SUIHEULAND. brake man on the freight. Gran a Island, sin gle; arm caught in wrecK. body cooked oy steam; died at 3:30 o'cloctc. A. M. Lyons, mail agent Koarney, head wounds and leg fractured. No passengers were injured. Both engines are a total wreck, while the mail and baggage cars are badly damaged. Inside of half an hour a relief train from Grand Island was on the scene with physicians to lootc after tho wounded, and all pas sengers and baggage were transferred from the wrecK to tho relief train, which will reach Omaha this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Alda is only a flag station and the passenger was to run through to Grand Island without stopping. Tne story of the wreck was toid by an eye witness. Conductor J. W. Keeler bad puiled his freight on the sidetrack and was waiting for tho passenger to pass. Tne engine of his train stood but five car lengths from tho west switch, heading for the same. The headlight of tho passenger engine soon appoach ed far over the prairies. As it ap proached the switch Engineer Mc Donald, on the passenger engine, saw the switch was open and that a colli sion was unavoidable.. In a moment he was upon tho switch, the steam brakes were put on and the engine re versed. Thero was a crash, a roar of escaping steam, the cries of the in jured trainmen and shrieks from the frightened passengers. Under the wreck and debris, pinned to the earth, was Engineer McDonald, his outstretched arm and closed hand only being visible. Ho was not alone, for under the same mass of twisted iron and heaps of coal lay the forms of J. W. Keeler, conductor; Gus Bar rett, engineer, and Ira Owens, fireman of the freight train. When asked as to the cause of the wreck, Conductor Leahy said: 'We were two hours behind time and were going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. We had made up an hour's time. The switch was open and no one has any idea of who could have opened it. I am of the opinion it was an outside party. The freight crew surely would not have done it Tho inevitable result sufficiently testi fies to that. Our engineer couldn't have seen it before he was aimost upon it. He put on the brakes and reversed the engine, but it was too iate. He stood by the engine till the last and no doubt saved injury to many of the passengers. The latter were all badly snaken up, but none of them were injured. When the passeneer engine struck the freight engine they fell side by side. Several freight cars were demolished. One end of the mail car was nothing but splinters. The baggage car was badly wrecked. The front end of the smoker was off the track. The other cars remained on the track. William Cosleilo. fireman of the passenger train, died from the effects of his injuries at 2 o'clock this after noon. He was unmarried, but has many relatives in this city. William Sutherland, the brakeman who was pinioned to the wreck by his arm having been caught between the wheels of the tender and body of the locomotive, died at 3:30. immediately after his arm had been amputated. He was frightfully burned from his feet to his hips. Robbers Break Iato a Bank and Get Away with S4.000. Virginia, 111., Nov. 23. Last night at Ashland, in the eastern part of the county, the bank of Skiles, Reariclr & Co., a branch of the Petefish, Skiles A: Co.'s banking house of this city, was robbed. The burgiars blow open the large "improved fire and burglar proof safe," and made away with tho entire contents, S4.000 in money and a lot of valuable papers. The job was done with the skill and system of profes sionals, and nothing wrong was known until the cashier opened the bank yes terday: A team, thought to have been stolen by the robberr,. was traced aiul found at Sr.rir.gfield, IH, Blaine Seriously 111. Washington; Nov. 26. The con dition of Mr. Blaine was again the subject of universal interest yesterday, made so by the publication of state ments that his ailments had taken a turn for the worse and that his life Was In imminent danger. If his phy eician and the members of his family are to be believed. 6uch statements are misleading and are not warranted by the facts. Last summer a yoar ago Mr. Blaino left the city to 6eo his daughter before she left for Europe. It was on that occasion that he fell ill and was removed to his cottago at Bar Harbor, where he passed the summer and early fail in convaiescence. The cause of his illness was not an organic complaint, unless a peculiar sensitive stomach can be so regarded. In plain English, he ate what was not good for him viz: rich food, and ato very much of it. Being run down in health and mentally fatigued from the labors of his office, the affairs of which wero then in a critical state, with th Chil ian and Italian embrogliosthre. ening to assume a serious form. Mr. nlaine, who is by no means in the vigor of youth, was made very ill, and required j several months to recuperate. Last summer he had another attack, but since his return to Washington ho has been in a state of health that may fairly be described as his normal con dition and capable of earnest work, open air rides, walks and cheerful, but. withal, very sensitive to irregu larities of diet and to sudden changes of weather. As near as can be learned the ill ness from which Mr. Blaine is now suffering is more serious than those which have preceded it. He caught cold and he was imprudent in his diet. Some congestion followed and thero was fever in its train. The stomach was made torpid and there was difficulty in digestion. Notwith standing reports to the contrary, it can be said that Mr. Blaine has shown no signs of mental abberation or de lirium. The Dlvlslou or Kan ia. TorEKA, Kas., Nov! 26. The pro position to divido the state of Kansas and make a new commonwealth, is gathering force and advocates. A dozen prominent western Kansas poli ticians were here today and all of them said plans had been laid to make a fight before congress and the. state legislature this winter. A serious ob stacle however, confronts them in the fact that in the proposed new state there are only 223,000 peop.e. which would allow them only one congress man and not more than two in any event. The original movers figure on three congressmen, which, in addition to two senators, would give the new state a delegation of five in the na tional congress. If the rumors that several prominent Texans and two millionaires of Colo rado are in tho deal prove true the population will be increased many thousands. No-Man's-Land. which Texas claims and which borders west ern Kansas on the south, is to be add ed to the new state. It is thirty miies wide by 175 long. It is stated today that Clark, late candidate for governor of Texas, and others at Fort Worth are in the movement to add No-Man's-Land to the new state. The same authority says Colorado would be willing to cut off a fifty mile strip and that Senator Wolcott is in favor it. President's Father-in-law Very 111. Washington, D. C, Nov. 26. Rev. John W. Scott father-in-law of President Harrison, aged 83, is lying seriously ill at the white house. It was stated at the white house this afternoon that Dr. Scott was not so well. His temperature was higher and he was perceptibly weaker than he was in the morning. Dr. Gardner said, however; that thero would be nothing at all serious in the case wero it not for tho advanced age of the pa tient There was a steady decline in the condition of Rev. Dr. Scott the pres ident's father-in-law, during the day and tonight he is considerably weaker , tnan he was this morning. There has been no abatement of the fever, which remains about the same. The patient is in a very critical condition and it is , extremely doubtful wnether he will be-j able to rally, as his great age matces it ) dimcuit for him to witnstand any acute illness. National Quarantine. Washington. Nov. 26. In view of the common expectation President Harrison will include in his next mes sage to congress a recommendation looking to the establishment of a na tional quarantine. Joseph Nimmo, late chief of the bureau of statistics, submitted to the president observa tions on the subject In brief, he holds that as the government assumed entire charge of immigration, one of the principal sources of infection, it must iikewise take full charge of sea. board quarantine. It cites history to ' show it within the constitutional ; power of congress to do this, and then proceeds to give reasons why it should be done. M ants a Hotter Gun. Washington, Nov. 26. The war department is negotiating with the Armstrong company of England for the acquisition of designs for the rapid fire gun which is said to be 20 per cent more rapid in action than any other gun. It has also in contempla tion the securing of the right to man ufacture the guns in the United States. It is claimed that Russell owes his election as governor of Massachusetts to the fact that 10, 000 republican votes were thrown out for being improperly marked. Tap Sprousc. a notorious Tennessee moonshiner, has been captured by a United States deputy marshal and lodged in jail. A New York paper publishes a re port that David B. Hill will retire from the United States senate this winter. A story come from New Mexico of the discovery of a petrified man in a cave. Georgia negroes are indignant over discriminations against them, and a great craze for emigration to Africa has taken possession of them ( FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. I j.i.i.um. " w-v., SUGGESTIONS FOR DEVELOP ING FARM HORSES. Make Uim Gentle narf Docile Food and Water Protection of Birds Poultry rickioe and Ueasshald Hints. Dcfeloplns Farm no'rses. Volumes are written on developing the trotting and running horses, yet seldom is anything 6oen in regard to developing the common work horse. A correspondent in the National Stockman thinks that as matters of these kind dovolvo almost entirely ' upon tho question of -will it pay?" J this might bo discussed from this standpoint with interest Yes. he says, it Will pay and pay well to de velop ttny horse. If it will not pnf tb develop him it will not pay to raise I him. Every horse is supposed to fit ' in somewhere in tho many uses for I the noble an i mnl. Tho commonest , kind of a scrub is supposed to be val uable for somotning. If a horse is to be retained for farm use it will pay to develop him in many ways. Tho first thing is to make him gentle, tractable and do cile. - This should be dono from colt hood up. put if the horse has arrived at an age in which ho can bo mado useful and has not been mado thorouehly gentle, the first thing to ho done is to teach him to bo as quiot as a lamb while in your caro and your management With tho exor cise of a little patience this will not bo a very big job. Whon a horse is entirely under subjection tho next thing to be dono is to develop soma of his qualities. To make a first- class farm horse a good walking gait is necessary. Tho awkward walk of i the colt should bo transformed into the strong, straightforward walk of the plow or cart horse. By exercising care a regular, steady rate of spoed may be acquired at this gait This will add much to tho valuo of tho fu turo horse. A horse that will walk fivo miles an hour instead of threo will gain twenty miles in a day. It is but fittlo if any harder for a horse to walk fast than slow when once ho bocomes accustomed to it. The pulling qualities of a horso may bo materially developed. Tho reason that one horso can pull a much heavier load than another of tho same size and weight is simply bo cause ho knows how. This -know how" is what you want to teach them. About tho first question a horso buyer asks is. Is he a good puller? If this qualification is good for the buyer it is good for the soller and also good for the man who does not want to soil. The capability of pulling a big load is not more valuable than tho ability to pull well and without injury to tho animal. Thero is a great knack in pulling and one horse may kill him self doing the same work that an other horse may do without injury. Tho right kind of a trainer can im provo upon the manner of a horso pulling as well as upon his ability to pull greater loads. Thero are numerous ways of im proving a horse or developing him if the matter is studied intelligently. It will pay in dollars and cents to im prove any horse that is worth keep ing. As this can bo dono whilo tho ordinary work required or tho animal is being performed it ncod not tako any of tho time of tho trainer or tho horso. Whilo it may not appear to pay as well on farm horses as it doos on turf horses it will be by no means a waste of timo and talent to develop tho horse. Food an 1 Water. Ensilage has como to stay, and whorover it has been adopted it furn ishes the olements that in conjunction with other proper foods nro in the di rection of maintaining tho health of the cow. Tho moisture is invaluable. For years wo havo endeavored to stim ulate tho growing of roots for winter food for tne cow and other animals on tho farm; and still advocate it for thoso to whom the silo is as yet too much of an innovation for them to adopt; and thero is not a farmer or dairyman, so far as we know, who has become a convert to ensilago or root feeding who does not testify that it has saved sickness &mong his ani mals and brought his herd through the winter in good shape. But if we cannot get mon to see tho value of green foods, the next best thing in to induce thorn to stop feeding tho dry. fat forming foods in reckless quanti ties, and to feed the bono and musclo forming foods more largely for they contain a largo quantity of mois ture. Whatever interferes with di gestion interferes with health and the milk producing machinery. Fat formers are dyspepsia breeders. The usefulness of ihe cow depends upon hor ability to digest and as similate her food. Selecting a cow in the first placa with a good con stitution, a good digestion and a proper development for making milk, the purpose in feeding should be to preserve and strengthen herdigesttvo force! It is right hero that tho chief value of warming water for cows is seen, and although somo ex periments and some theories would seem to cast a aoubt upon the valuo of warming water, there can bo no experiment and no theory that can destroy or modify tho fact that every drop of ice cold water we can keep out of tno stomach of the cow. is an aid to digestion, and we can afford to stop at that point and not tako into considerat on at all tho value of tho greater quantity of wator that a cow vil', drink when the water is warmed. Farmers' Voice. Inducements for Uec-Kcepln?. Eeo-keoping is honest honorable and easy. It needs but little capital and no unusual skill; neither great strength nor profound learning. It does not depend on political favor nor the smiles of tho rich. Rural but not rude; royal but not rigorous. It asks but the smiles of nature and a quiet spot It makes by saving and does not injure by taking. It re quires many operatives, but they sup port themselves, requiring of their employer only a cheap, suitablo place to' store the product of their skill and industry, ready for his or her u o or for tho market It can be conducted almost anywhere, and more money made from the same amount of cap ital and labor than io any other bus- incss.

Cano sugar cannot be assimilated as food uutll it becomes transformed into glucose (grape sugar) and luvuloso (uncrys lalied sugar). Bernard states that when cane 6ugar is injected into tho blood it circulates theroid as au inert body, and is in no degree Used as nu triment bv the tissues, but is dVcutn- j ally entirely romoved unchanged with the urind. In his research to ascer ' tain where in tho digestive economy i cane sugar Is transformed, ho failed I to find it changed in the saliva or in the storaacn. lie at lcngtn uiscovereu it in the sciall Intestines. Such being tho order of nature, it would seem thav. in cases whero tho small intes tines, tho usdimilatinr organ, be comes weakened, enno sugar should not be taken into the stomach.

Rob- I'ritTtio:i ot Klrd.;. The man who shoots a bird on my farm has a quarrel on his nands at onco if I know it I have no sympathy for tho farmer who is loo stingy to lot tho birds have what fruit they want. I grow enough cherries for myself and the birds too. and if I did not I should not begrudge tho birds tho cherries; having opserved very closely the benefit conferred upon tho farmer by birds, and there is no doubt that wo farmers are always in the birds debt Indeed I do not know what I should do with out birds, and I havo ploaty of them, for birds soon loarn whero they are safe. Protect tho birds and they will pay for it. Farmers' Voice, Poultry l'lcklii-. A little flaxseed fed will greatly im prove the plumage. Ducks are loss trouble to raiso with out a pond than with one. To bo kopt hardy young poultry should never bo pampered. Generally the longer a hon lays the less vitality the oggs will possess. Animal food, like meat or milk, is always appreciatcl by the poultry. If ycur fowls arc not looked after do not oxpect too much from them. Eggs should be cloanod as they aro gathered, or tho dirt may taint the meat Fowls that aro over-fed aro rarely healthy, neither will they lay eggs regularly. When tho fowls have a good range thero is usually bettor health and more eggs. It is not a good plan to allow tho hens to do too much scratching in tho manuro pile. After cleaning out under tho nosts apply a good dressing of dry dirt as an absorbent When the food is of an improper character the product cannot bo all that is desirable. Whitewash as a lice destroyer will bo improved by tho addition of a lit tle carbolic acid. The best way to get green feed in winter is to storo away turnips, beets, cabbage and pota'.ocs. One item in fattening fowls econ omically is to supply tho food In a way that is easily digested. When cleaning out tho nests an d quarters all of the old material should be gathered up and burned. Crop-burned fowls can gonerally trace their trouble back of gravel or gritty material for grinding. In ar anging the poultry quarters it is quito an item to provide good ven tilation without draughts. Keep a daily account of tho receipts and expenses with tho poultry and know whether they pay or not. I It is moro economical to spend timo improving onoor two breeds of stock, rather than to attempt more and uiuko a failure. ' Household Help. When washing red tablecloths and napkins put a littlo boraK in lW: water: 'I hey will cleanse easily, and , will not fade. i Skimmed milk makes hardwood floors, stained ones and oil cloths look shiny. A woollen cloth should be used to wipe up tho floor with. ' Tho daintiest kind of fruit dishe3 are now in favor.

To keep bread jar and cako box sweet rinse after washing with boiling water in which has been dissolved a little soda. Rinse, wipe and set them out in the sun a few hours. , Tar or paint may be romoved by first applying oil of some kind, or iard; then after scraping o.'T tho loosened substance, apply a mixture of turpentine and benzine, and at the last use benzino alone. In making cookies, take only part ' of your dough out on the board at once. It is better to manage in this way. Remember, too. they must bo gotten into the pan as soft as possible. Only e perience can give the dotter ous handling needed for them. j To whiten napkins and table-cloths j that havo hecomo yellow and stained ' they should bo soaked in sour milk for several days, stirring and shaking J the linen now and then.
