HOW THE MAY QUEEN WAS SELECTED. forgetting Ills Boyhood What Troubled the lien lie Called a Halt Assisting ' Nature Diphtheria for Fishing Sereral Knotty Problems. I T AlAT a lovely day! The 29th of 11 April and the children of the VJL village trying to chooso some one for May Queen, and they could not decide whether to take pretty Fhillia Fayne or black-haired Mabel "Wilford. Phiilis' father was a poor day laborer, while Mabel's father was very wealthy. Some wanted Fhillis to be the queen of May, because she was fo mild and gentle, and not so dignified as "that horrid, gtuck-up Mabel Wilford," us Ada "Wlnnet rudely expressed it. Half of the children wanted Mabel; "because," they ßaid, "her father has money and can afford her a new dress." But kind-hearted, good-natured little Dorothy Cristern said, indignantly, "You mean children ! How can you prefer 3Iabel to Phiilis? I think Bbe is every bit as good as Mabel." And they went on quarreling and disputing, until at last they decided to vote, o they each took a slip of paper and wrote the name of the girl they wanted for queen on it. Bat when they counted the slips Phiilis end Mabel had an equal number, and so, to nettle the dispute, they decided to have two queens. Well, when the two girls heard the decision they began to talk about it, and Phiilis promised Mabel that she would call for her on her way to the mopsy arbor where the two queens were to sit. Presently Mabel left Phiilis, saying she had a bad cold and had to go home. A mother lovely day! Tl,e 1st of May, I Phiilis ascended the eteps of Mabel's ana I'nillis ascenuea uie eteps oi jiaoei home. She rang the bell and a servant opened the door. "Is Mabel ready ?" asked Phiilis, timidly, scarcely daring to speak for fear of harming the luxurious things around her. '2so," the servant answered, lxkinsr as if she thought she was superior to Phiilis, and surveying her with a critical glance, "Miss Mabel is sick in bed. Are you Phiilis Fayne?" "Yes'm," replied Thillis, meekly. "Well, Miss MalK'l told me to bring you up to her room when you came. This way just follow me." Phiilis hesitatingly oleyed, and was ushered into Mabel's bedroom. And what a pretty room it was all red and gold, the carpet a flowery red, the furniture cherry, and the wall-paper red and gold, ihe was stunned by the elegance of everything around her, but finallv managed to greet Mabel. "Phiilis," said the sick girl, regretfully, "I am so sorry, but I can't go to the May party to-day. I had a new white muslin dress made, ami now it will be of no use whatever to me. I will give it to you and you can wear it, if you will. I hope you don't think I am a 'horrid, stuck up thing,' do you?" "Oh, tfabel!" exclaimed Phiilis, reproachfully, "do you 'think I would go to the woods and leave you lying here? No, I'll stay here with vou, if you'll let me." "Of "course I will; but I hate to have you lose j our enjoyment." Just then the s r vant opened the door and little Dorothy Cristern entered. A bright idea suddenly came into Phiilis' mind. Mie whispered a few words in Mallei's ear, am ltl ion Mabel paid, aloud : Porie, rhillis and I are not going to the party. You put on that dress, pointing to the new uiudin on the chair, aud give thia note to one of the girls. Dorothy put on the dress, took the note and started. The girl Ehe gave it to read aloud : Dear Girls Neither of us is coming, 6o ph-asc let Dorothy Cristern be Queen. PlIILLLS AXüMADKL.

A VERY DIFFERENT MATTER. "I nm married, dear father," I cheerily wrote, "To the truest, most loving of wives: Mv income is uj;h! but the wealth of our love Will last to the end of our lives." 'You're discarded forever!" ho hotly replied. "How dare you wed poverty, sharaeT Tis a sin uncommitted by all until now Who have boasted our family name." By way of reply I indited him thus: "There's a misunderstanding I fear; My income is ujrh! but her income, dear dad, is exacily five thousand a year." Toronto Mall. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. At tho fanners' institute at Dixon one of the papers which attracted great attention was that of Mrs. J. II. Elliott of Princeton on "The Farmer's Wife." Among other things Mrs. Elliott said: "Sometimes tho farmer's wife, when she sits down to mend just for a rest her husband's woolen socks, reflects that if her congressman had not levied such a tax on that pair of socks she would have money to buy a new pair, instead of spending her time on the open territory of the old ones. ' 'ifche thinks also what a relief it would be if sTie was not compelled to use the entire proceeds of her butter and epgs in paying the tax on the salt she puts in tlie butter and On the pugar she uses in her coffee and fruit. The witty senator from Kansas, Mr. Ingalls, gives as the only reason why women should not vote, that they have sense enough not to want to vote. I confess I am just stupid enough to want to cast a ballot on the salt and sugar question, and if I ever get to voting I will by no means stop at salt and supar. 'Did women vote in this country I think it could be relied upon that the tax would be removed from what we use in tlm kitchen and remain upon whisky and tobacco. "One word more to the farmers of Illinois: If your condition is such as is generally confessed, if the condition of your wives approaches what I have indicated, may I not ask that you turn down your coat collar, shako the hayseed from your hair, and do something. If you are not brave enough to do it for yourselves, do it for the sake of your wives and children. You are numerically strong enough to redress all the grievances of which you complain, and you are forever complaining. Don't be blinded any longer into protecting some millionaire. Protect yourselves and family. Don't be deluded any longer with the idea that it is your duty to provide ample dividends for every monopoly and manufacturing establishment in the country with the motive that you nre patriotically supporting American industries." Garden lleans. There are few varieties of crops that are grown in the garden that, with proper management, will furnish a supply for the table as long ns garden beans. "If this is done it is necessary to make several plantings of good varieties, and with a good noil and good cultivation, a supply can bo secured from early summer until hard, killing frost in the fall. For bunch beans there is quite a num-lx-r of varieties to select from. Early red valentine is one of the earliest; flow's champion and prolific tree are good ; golden wax and ivory pod wax are both good wax beans, while lazv wife's pole and llagoolet wax, with Dreer's lima, will make a large variety. If you only want to plant three varieties I would recommend lnv's champion, ivory pod wax and lazy wife's, l'.y making two or three plantings a succession can realily be kept up. A rich soil is not usually considered necessary for beans, yet if an early crop of tender beans is wanted it will usually pay to select reasonably rich soil. Do not plant until the danger from frost is past, aa the plants are easily injured by frost, especially so in the spring. Prepare the soil in a good condition by ploughing and harrowing until line nnd mellow. If tho cultivator is to be used in giving the necessary cultivation, work out the rows about three feet apart and drop two seeds in each hill with the hills not closer than one foot. l'otnto. Planting should be dono a.i early as tho season and conditio of the soil will permit. In Illinois this will vary from the last Meek in March to tho first week in April, there being one to two weeks difforence between the southern and northern portions. I5y planting early the vines will get large enough to shade the ground before hot, dry weather. ' Very early planted jMjtatoes wert? about the only ones that succeeded in Illinois last year. Preparing the seed Much ditt'erenco of opinion prevails as to the value of cutting potatoes for heed, and in plantin;' largu or small ones. The majority, however, favor cutting them, as not only being more economical, but of positive advantage to tho new crop. With seed potatoes this year costing from $1 to $2 u bushel, tliu naving by cutting will be very great. If kept in a cool dry place it will do no harm if tho potatoes nre cut for several days previous to the planting. The ground bhoiild be plotitrhed deep, 1m mellow and well drained. It will boa waste of eeed to plant on wet, undraincd land. j lluw to Catf-lt i fowl, "When I wish to capture a fowl I take my crook nnd it sock, throw down a bit of feed, aud while they are scrambling over it I quietly pull in and sack the ono I want. The thing Is done before tho flock r( alifthat I have made a motion, nnd the bird Is so astonished that it rarely utters si pound. For culling out or separating n flock of poultry it in almost Indispensable, tlet the flock in a ijmall yard or shed, nnd instead of plunging or diving among them and frightening them into fits, move quietly about' and hook out thosn you want.

In regard to getting tho biv-.t yield of choice honey try and hn.vi all yeur colonics very strong Mlir-n tho honey How conic., Thin is best neconiplihhud by feeding a thin sirup or honey each evening, commencing about six wi-ekb before tliu expected yield. iivo room ill tlm Bcctions n soon iu needed, to delay uwarming nn long uh possible.

Be sure to stir it all over the fire until the gelatine is dissolved. Set it aside to cool, and when ready to congeal have ready a eup of rich cream ; whip the cream until light, add a pinch of soda and stir it into the gelatine quickly, one spoonful at a time.

To save time and trouble and the risk of the broth being burned, it may also be prepared by obtaining a jar of beef buillon, which contains all the ingredients of a beef broth, and after heating one gallon of water pour one jar of the bouillon in it, and it is thoroughly dissolved boil for about five minutes, and a delicious beef broth will have been quickly made.'

In England the draught horse is never driven faster than a walk. Let parsnip seed be plauted ' early, and when well up thinned to six inches apart. (Hve potatoes that you want to mature early soil already rich or feed them with well-rotted manure. Teas should be planted as early as the ground will admit in a rich, deep soil, for a vigorous growth and largo production. Tho roller should bo used to press in the small seeds und smooth the laud, especially if mowers aro to be used later in tho season. Weeds will pprin.sr up n3 early as vegetables, and a watch must bo kept for them. The best time to destroy them is when they first appear. If the brush is to be used it is of more importance on the cow than on the horse, yet the former is almost entirely noglectel in that respect. In no way can a farmer with less trouble enrich a poor Hold with scanty herbage than bv feeding sheep on it. So allirms an English bheep farmer. Though eggs may now riecojuo cheaper, there will be u larger production of them and at a lower cost, ns gnihi und forage will be more plentiful.

MRS. CLEVELAND'S PONIES.

How tlie President Came to liny tlie Pot? of Little Browns, The president has so far relented from his original determination as to buy for his wife a pretty phaeton, with a seat behind for the groom', and a pair of small brown horses for exclusive use, and thereby hangs a tale, savs a Washington letter to the Philadelphia S'orth Ammcan. A man in Richmond wrote a pathetic letter to the president not long since, which by some inadvertence on the part of thewir "private secretary," fell into his own hands. In it the man went on to say that he had married a young and beautiful girl three months before, and had btmght for her. with many fond anticipations, a pair of horses, lor which lie had searched the South over, and she drove them for a few short weeks, and then, on returning from a drive one afternoon, died suddenly in his arms from heart disease. He could "not bear to see these reminders of a happy past any more, and Mrs, Cleveland was the only woman into whose hands he was willing to have them fall. He concluded by saying that he was too poor to give them to her, but he wanted her to nave these treasures of his pretty dead wife. The president, without seeing the lorses at all, telegraphed to have them sent on, and in a letter following inclosed a check for them. They came, saw and conquered at once, as they are pretty, gentle little animals, and smiling peace reigns everywhere. FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK. Official Analysis of Unking Powders Adul- '.. terations in Cream of Tartar. Under the direction of the New York sUtc board of health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders, cuibraciag all the brands that coidd be found for sale in the state, were submitted to examination and analysis hy Prof. C F. Chandler, a member of the state hoard and president of the New York city Ward of health, assisted by Prof. Edward (i. Love, the well-known U. S. poverniaent chemist. . the official report shows that a large number of tlie powders examined were found to contain olum or lime; many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analyzed .and found to contain lime and other impurities; in some snmples to the extent of y.3 per cent, of their entire weight. All the baking powders of the market with the single exception of ''lloyal'' (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which have not the virtue of even an impure cream of tartar), are made from the adulterated cream of tartar of commerce, uud consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent. The only baking powder vet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime aud absolutely pure is the "lloyal." This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on accouut of this preHter cost is used in no baking powder but the "Koyal." Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York state board of health as well as for the government, says of the purity and wholesomeness of the "Itoyal:" "1 lind the Royal Raking Powder composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or other injurious substances. E. ti. Love, Ph. D." - It is highly satisfactory to the housekeepers of this vicinity, where Royal Raking Powder is in general i;se. that the investigations by the analysts in Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, the only states that have thus far taken action upon this important subject, agree in classing it ns the purest aud most efficient baking powder in the market.

Beyond question the Tariff is the i$sue upon which the coming campaign will be fought, and it behooves every citizen who would vote intelligently to inform himself upon a subject which so closely affects his temporal welfare.

Gen. Licb's Book on the Tariff

Renders what is usually considered a most abstruse subject easy of eonprehension. It will serve as a Tariff primer for the learner, as well as a textbook for the learned. This book shows the practical effect of tho Protective System upon the country. Perhaps the most conspicuous feature of the book is its exact alignment with the message of President Cleveland. The position of Mr. Blaine's "Twenty Years4 in Congress" is taken up, Iiis assertions upon, tho Tariff analyzed, criticised, and mode to furnish, their own refutation. This book should be in the hands of every voter in Indiana. It will be sent, postage prepaid, on receipt of price, to any addres. ' . Iu paper cover, 75c. In cloth binding, $1.
