Do you want your daughters to learn how to cook? Then start them in with the Cooking Class commenced in the March number of Demorest’s Family Magazine. The articl« s carrv the “Cooking Class” right into your own kitchen, for the editor tells us that these lessons are ideid’c.d. with the instruction given to her class by the head instructor of one of the large Cooking Classes in New York City. Do you want to start your children in the Kindergarten system of instruction, and keep them amused at home for hours? at a time? Here is another chance to refer to the March number of that wonderful Magazine; and when you one' 1 have it in your hands (if you are not already acquainted with it), you will be sur prised to find that you have made a great error in' supposing that it was composed of Fashion sheets. There is not a better Family Magazine pub lished. Its literary merit is of the highest order, and the illustrations are superb. In the March number there are nearly two hundred of them, showing us, among other inter esting tilings, the beauties of a winter spent on the Mediterranean, all the different stages through which “A Bound Book’* passes before it reaches the reader, and the horrors of a Spanish Bull-Fight;” and the unillustrated articles are also of great value, notably one in the “Our Girls” depart mentj on “The Art of LetterWriting\” and, further on, “Wash-Day” gives many points that make Monday a less terrible day to anticipate. The story matter is up to its usual high standard, and the news of the day is given in a nut-shell in the “World’s Pro gress.” It would seem impossible to get up a Magazine that would be better suited for every member of the family, at the low price of 20 cents a copy, or $2.00 per year. Pub - lis lied by W. Jennings Demor est, 15 East 14th St, New York. In the Banner Republican State, where Senator Ingalls gives the impression that life and property are sacredly protected, an officer cf a sorghum company against whom the farmers of the neighborhood felt that they had a grievance, was jumped on and kicked by a mob until he was supposed to be killed, and it is not yet certain that his injuries were not fatal Why should the United States Government protect Fanz in Aberdeen, Miss., and not protect J. B. Armstrong in Conway Springs, Kan.? We hope the Attorney General will procure from the United States marshal in Fan sas a report on the Conway Springs outrage—National Democrat. The Connersville Examiner savs every newspaper publish er has an occasional subscriber whose soul seems to have been made out of the fag end of the material. We are always thankful when such men are dropped from the list. • They generally refuse to take the paper after receiving it a year without paying for it—a plain steal, and the law makes it such, with an insult added—or else they move away without paying a nickel! or they all at once discover that they receive it irregularly and won’t pay for it. In either case it is a mere snap such as no honest man would be guilty of. The proper way to stop n. news paper is to pay up iinva’-n'r-s and then discontinue a. No publisher will grumble at such a course.

A farmer on one of the best corn farms in lowa, fine buildings, fine improvements, his crop this.year abouts,ooo bush els. The coupon on nis mortgage note calls for $595. His taxes are SIBO. He must keep 500 bushels to feed his teams on till he can raise another crop. His 4,500 bushels at 15 cents a bushel will yield $676. His whole crop then lackssloo oi paying these two items. To sell his com he hauls it five miles to the market which will cost i.im at least 3 cents a bushel c r $135 Again, he must live. He must pay store bills, He must clothe his family. He buy coal to keep them |from freezing. Standing in our office with his shabby clothes a network of patches, his form bent over witn excessive labor I and anxiety, he put the question; “Wj.at can Ido?” This stumped us. but as he had been a faithful follower of the Republican party, we referred him to Senator Allison and the editor of the lowa btate Registet, the organ of the money sharks. Let them tell their victims how to of the hell tiey have prepared for the farmers of lowa—lowa Tribune.
