' TTt inject and the fungous diseases of the old worH rontlnue to come to uir. and every year the production " a crop is made morn hazardous by reason of their attarks. Tb worst of our insect nem! and plant diseases are foreigners, befner brought over in the cargoes of our ships. This is also tru of very m.my of our noxious woods. While we are getting som things of value from th?-othr hemisphere, o an" also getting pests that cost tin millions of money. Th?r is no way of preventing ,th undesirable importation?. All that w ran do is; to study thir habits and character and thus prepare ourselves for a successful warfare with them in 'ir Adds. In this work our experiment stations may hd; us by suggest ions, but th" fighting must b don by the farmers. Rotation f rrops is t ! n--;-t effectual barrier against the increase of manyinsects. Ft instance, there is the rorii root louse that is J i n 7 mn-h damage to the farmers of our state. They intrench themselves i:i a field that is plantnt continuously in t orn. The remedy consists in depriving' th-m of their natural food by seeding to wheat or oats. "When the young ar hatched out and tail to find corn root.? growing for them millions are starred. p it is with many wh"at insects. If wheat b grown continuously, or even twic in succession in one field, th" larvae hatched fr--ni the eggs of a preceding brood are furnished the Pest cr.ditions l'r thriving. Their natural food is at hand. Were it not for the rotatimi of rroj.s that most farmers practice in part at least our country would soon be so overrun with certain pest tliat Fome grains and vegetables could hardly b prcdu (.1 at all. Rotation will not destroy sere .f our worst ine,:ts. Take the ejoverseed riilg for example. The flying insert can go from field to tidl. We mun have recourse to strategy, pefore the time arrives for depositing the egg in the clover fcloom we can lip our fields, sacrificing the crop of hay. Then th" insect has no suitable place f r putting the eggs and the young, after hatching, f tarves. Then the second crop of clover, which always furnishes the se 1. escapes. Tieside this the early dipping or pasturing permits the second crop to start f-arlier than usual, and the eed is formed when the insects are not laying ggs. We instance these cases to showthat intelligent warfare 1 an be waged againr-t many of our pests. In many casen inject iddes ran be used. Paris green and London purpl" have become necessities in vegetable and fruit growing. fJut in this ti.ht with the many pests that can be kept in subjection only by rotation of crops there js need of cooperation. Jt is discouraging to have an insert to tipht when a neighbor is breeding it in an adjoining field. We need a more general knowledge of the habits of 11 injuri"iis inserts. There should be doser stTidy of the reports of our stations, and the attention of the unobservant should bo called t the little enemies in their field. When interest is aroused we can hope for J it i tr nt cooperation, fend not before. if this be not done speedily our losses wilt grow greater year by : ear. Second Crop Scrd Potator. The Sentiud farmer has marked sueress from the ue of what is called "second- crop" potatoes front the South, lie gets the seed cadi year from that pection. A description of this seed is given by a correspondent of the Country Gentleman. He rays: "The. gardeners plant the first crop in March, and by July the vines are dead .nd the potatoes are mature. They are then diig and sold and the second crop Is planted immediately, if the weather Permits. When the frost cuts down the plants. sy Nov. 1. the crop is dug. It consists of half large and half small potatoes; the former are sold and the latter are kept for s. .-d. to be planted the next Man h and the neit July. If placed in any ordinary rf!,ir they keep perfectly not one j sprouted or phrivded and they grow off strong as soon as put in the ground. They do not romo 111 with two or three fWhi- sh .,ts, like Northern seed, but produce one shoot only, whether planted wh -le or cut to one eye. Kach shoot brines from live to fight tubers, that are always large and r.nrketal.l Thanks to the second-crop seed, the grower gets .".a p r rent, more JOtatoes to the acre from his spring planting, and then gd a big second crop extra. I it any wonder that potatoes .ir- driving everything dse front the fields near IusivlleV" From this ci'y the growing of s-cond crops is spread. ng t oticr par's of Kentueky and to the South, but. I have not gathered from your paper that northern growers, usually so er, t rrpriing. know i.vuch about I;. It mav be that they have ncv-r tried seror.d-ctop sed. and it it not improbable that they rou!d not grow two . iops on th same ground, for thfir potatoes keep gr.en and growing long after July; but they nisrht. by Ilanting in July, tie a bio to g;t halfgrown tubers by the time a heavy frost fallf. Th value of the p. rond crop se-d i almost certainly d:io to the fact that when dug they are not mature. They have not reached old aire, and the consequent tend"ucy to sprout, .-hrie and iecay. They Want to grow some more, and when planted they do. just as a loy begins playing whrn awakened from a Found Sleep. I am enir.ed that when northern farmers and gardeners le.un the value of second-crop seed the potato yidd of the country will be enormously increased, if not doubled. Creamery SlinrUn. The Sentinel has previously had 00 afion to call attention to the fait that interested parties have induced farmers In many tions of our state to invest their money in high-priced creameries uhon the conditions were unfavorable, and success unlikely, other states have d iffered likewise. A western correspondent of an ea teni journal says that the cairy interest of hu state, in common with that of other western states, has ben sorely troubled by the 'Vre amery FiharJi," who has in hundreds of instances invdgle'd the people Pito letting hint put tip butter and rheee factories regardless of th" finest ion whether prevailing conditions wei' f.oiable to their enterprise. then clntiged them ?"..')!) to fs.ooo for whit ought to have been secured for not more than or even lss, to lv-gin on. In a majority of can the prevailing cr.nditions wer not. at the time, favorable to maintaining a factory, the communities not hi1ng the dairy cows or the iilry in-opf"' o- -voai y to keep ;i j,iant suppüed with sufti' i. nt cream or milk to keep it running: so that th interest 011 eeri a fnr valuation of th pl-tnt so .n ate up the profits. In many instances ;jt soon ;is the people realized that the l.e-tt bitten whi"h w'.ubl b" about the time the factory was ready to start up they would pull, away altogether, leaving th enterprise completely strarled. and to stand for a number f years as a monument to the gullibility of the American public. X toe Id name a large number vl

towns in this state in which expensive creameries have been built, which have never been operated at all. These professional rreajTtery builders have takeit from our state hundreds of thousands of dollars for which they have given no equivalent, but far beyond that.they have retarded the development of the dairy IndiiKtry- to the extent of millions of dollars and years of time. It is difflcult to find men who have not only the rxiuisito. knowledge of dairying, and faith born of thaC and the nerve to go into a community in -which there are so many confessed failures and make-success of the business. It is done, however, as was proved at our meeting, and this w-as the one encouraging fact developed. Never before wore there so many succe.s..es reported, or so hopeful a tone among the dairymen present.

Sncrlflolnar Sheep. A correspondent of the Mirhtgftn Farmer well says that so far as agricultural depressions are ronrernej. the direst results have happened to those who, wh'-u the business outlook was d ti k, sacrificed the results of years of labor, skill and expense in breeding and Improving domestic animals, in their wild desire to sell when there were very few buyers. These percds of depression have always ben followed by equally prosperous one?, and in many instance:-; the parties who were most anxious to sdl Whep Stock Was low' W lr the most eager to purdiaso when the tide of prosperity set in. The present distressed condition of agriculture will not prove an ecejtiou either in iint of destruction i.f valuable flo. ks and herds nor to the almost certainty that in the tear future lltey will regain inudi of their former value and prosperity. Pairyintr at present seems to be doing well, it in I men are rushing in that dirert ion. selling slieep at a great sa- rilire, buying rows at prices not warranted, only to li in 1 hi the near future thai, that brain h of farming may be overdone and in it. they may lind liiere i. much besides protit and pleasure. J f . as many believe, the causes for the depression in wool and mutton lie in the fear of a change in the financial Policy of this government, would it not be better to wait and see if the fear proves true before sacrificing so important an interest? Should the change tie made and the fears of a change realized, it were better to keep the best portion of every flock than to sell them at the pries which follow present sales, knowing that the remedy lies in the ballot and can be made available in a short time if needed. The farmer who is to be prosperous in the future must be economical in all directions, and if so he cannot with impunity throw out the important item of sheep husbandry. Sheöp in proper quantities are as Indispensable on every well conducted farm as any other class of stock, anil more indispensable than some. Tariff or free trade, the future farmer to lie successful must conform to business methods, and he cannot dispense with a wheel in his machinery and have it work satisfactorily. Whether he wills it or t:ot, he must meet the same conditions brought about by keen, close competition in every part of his business, as are met with in the business of the merchant, the manufacturer, or the artisan. Knowing then, that no particular part of farming has .1 groat advantage over any other part, as well as that farming as a whol is depressed, is it not the part of wisdom to wait end take a fair anr 'impartial canvass of all the conditions und environments of the farmer tef ore decidng that the goose which had formerly l?id the golden egg should be. made the tirst sacrifice ; Protit from TurUevs. That there is a profit in turkey-raiding is beyond a doubt, writes a pantiral poultry man. but those entering upon it as a business must make up their minds to woiK and see that nothing is neglec ted. You cannot immediately jump into a new business, no matter how muc h theory and book-learning you may have on the subjert. Prartical knowledge is essential, and this, together will) courage and ambition, will make you succeed. In the tirst place, get well-bred stock. It is just as necessary to be particular in selecting vmir turkeys with an eye to profit as it is in selecting cows for your dairy. The .Mammoth Hronze is said to be the best variety. The males at the age of six months weight from eighteen to twenty-two pounds, females, ten to fourteen. The hn will lay from thirty to fifty eggs, according to management. From six teen to twenty eggs constitute a setting. The period of incubation is thirty days. Little turkeys never have much appetite until two r three days old. and then an egg custard with tender onion tops cut small enough for them to swallow will tempt them soon.r than anything dse. and1 as they have learned to eat pretty well season their rustard with a pinch of black pepper and thirken it slightly with the soft crumbs of egg broad; feed them live limes a day until they are two weeks old. Tie- reason of this is. the growth of feathers on young turke is very rapid and demands a constant supply of nutrition; hence a single 1 mission of food for a few hours sometini'S proves fatal. Sweet milk should le offered them to drink daily, given in some manner to prevent them getting themselves wet. One of the secrets of turkey-raising is never allow them t get wet or c hilled. A g I way is to make a yard of boards ten or twelve fret square for the mother and her brood; provide shelter for them to s--p under and to protect them front sudden rains. After two weeks the custard may be omtted, then feed a bread mole made of bran, middlings and a little mm meal, baked and moistened with sweet milk. After a month old they can be fed mixed grains o:ne daily, with a little- cracked corn; later n tlcir morning ncal can consist of an:.- cooked vegetables thickened with g -od wheat bran and middlings fed warm. Place the food in Sroughs or anything that can l kept ban. as it is necessary that their food be prepared fresh every day. Provide I hnty of grit, also plenty of clean water or sweet milk. Prize Sclilol:irdilH in Purdue. The interest manifested in list year's off-r of prize srholarships in Purdue university to young r.v.n and women of Indiana, leads the university authorities to renew the öfter this year aid enlarge the opportunities for sec uring such scholarships. Those who win prize scholarships may avail themselves of all the advantages which the university offers to agricultural students absolutely free of charge. This means not only free tuition, but free biologic al, chemical, physical, physiological and veterinary laboratories; free libraries and reading-rooms: free inspection and study of the work and experiments in progress in field, orc hard, vineyard, greenhouse and garden, and free U"e of costly and delicate apparatus necessary iu pursuing the pre se t ibod course of study. A prize scholarship in the short course in agriculture., will effect a saving of at least JT a year or Jinn for the full e-ourse. One ob je t in e iff Ming these prize scholarships, is to e ncourage improvement in agriculture, and all who c ompete-, w Ul be greatly bem iiieij by (hestudy and effort put. forth oven though they fail to retch the- standanl required to secure a si holaifhip.

CONSUMPTION REACHED.

By One of Three Routes A Timely Warning. ' There are throe roads which lead from health to consumption. Over one of these roads pass all of that great multitude of people who die every year of consumption. Kach route begins with health and happiness and ends with disease and death. First road, a slight cold -neglected settles in the head or throat chronic catarrh extends to the lungs consumptiondeath. Second roa-1, a slight cold neglected cough settles on the lungs cough gradually growing worse consumption death. Third road, a. cold neglected settles in the throat hoarseness short breath consumption death. Thousands have just started on one of these roads, all of whom could be easily cured by Pe-ru-na. Thousands more are half way to the fatal end of one of these roads who are still curable by a course of treatment with Pe-ru-na. Yet other thousands are near th end wbse last days could be made beatable and hope of recovery more probable by comniendiig IV-rn-na without delay.

Family Physiriati No. 1. a complex treatise on catarrh and all chronic diseases of the lungs. they would throw out numerous fruit spurs and produce fruit dose to the trunk and main branches, where it muld be easily supported. Trees hanlled in this way will also produce more perfect fruit. Such severe Utting back may he done without any injury whatever if performed while the tree is dormant. Although peaches are reckoned an uncertain crop, it is still one of the nujst profitable fruits which can be. grown in localities adapted b it. Select the finest varieties and give high culture. and it will require but little fruit to give you a good money return. Wintering IIccm. A correspondent of the American Bee Journal writes as follows: It is instructive to read and ponder em the various opinions of bee-keepers on different topics pertaining to the business. I would like to call attention to the matter of ventilation in winter. Some advocate bottom, some top anil others think because the bees in their natural state close up all crevices with propolis that ventilation is not necessary. 1 recollect a few years ago a friend of mine got a colony of bees on shares. The box was about eighteen inches high and about twelve by twelve in other dimensions. This box was placed on blocks of wood about one and a half Inches high, from the bench on which it was placed, and there it stood in summer and winter, in the same condition for about ten or twelve years, the colony always being among the first to swarm in the spring. Some seven or eight years ago this same man had three top swarms comeoff at the same time, and cluster together, and nothing but a log-house or log-barn to hive them in. but he thought of an old salt barrel, which ho got. and, placing sticks across it. he hived the bees in it. They tilled the barrel about two-thirds full the first season, and the next season filled it up. The following spring a neighbor bought it, paying J12 for it, ami I helped him remwe it. There were several cracks In the barrel that a man could run his finger in. and we hail to eh it up in cloths to keep the b,-es in. In both of the above cases the bees wintered nicely. I noticed the past winter the dder ami more nen my hives were the fewer bees ejied. and as a rule are better than most of those in dose hives. A du I lern led Dairy Produet. It is a. fad to be regretted that the adulteration of dairy products has had more laws enacted for its prohibition and regulation, and less enforcement of the laws, than anything els in which fanners are interested. State laws have generally been inadequate to regulate or control the sale of imitation of butter, and the national laws have been made ir construed generally in the interest of the manufacturers. Hy the aid of the..- national dairy organizations relief of a substantial nature ought to be obtained. The prohibition of the manufarture and sale of the different art it lees which are l.eing palmed off on the unsuspecting public as rure pnducts is out of the question. There is nothing left to do but regulate it. This being true the efforts expended should lie concentrated in the one direction. In fighting this enemy of the dairyman, Canada has set an example that might be imitated to advantage by the people of this country. The laws in that country define the imitMtion of foods and food products as direct counterfeiting, and the man handling or manufacturing such goods is subject to the same punishment as if making or handling counterfeit money. With a term in some penal institution staring them in the face for each offense, manufacturers and dealers in counterfeit butter would not be so ready to take the chances in engaging in the tratlio. The dairymen of th's e-ountry never needed to look after their interests more than they d now, ami they never were in better shape to do it. AIIT TO i:T. One Pcraons Kaiirrlrnce Ith IlrriiWfnsf. Dinners, unci Luncheon. It is the opinion of Mrs. Rorer, gathered from her own observation and from that of other eminent teachers and students of the food uiesilon, that oranges, shaddock, grape's, dates and figs can be taken with good results before eating the substantial part of the breakfast; but that apples and iears agree beet with most stomachs when taken at its close. Her own breakfasts, which seem to be models of lightness and nutrition and temptation to eat, usually consist of fruit, a, cereal, a simple meat dish, bread of some kind and coffee. Those who know Mrs. Itorer, and the brightness of her mind, her splendid physique and the great amount of work that she aceomplisnes, c an but be interested in knowing exactly what she is fed on. To satisfy this curiosity, and also, we presume, to help others to a sane and simple way of living. Mrs. Rorer has lately given a week's menu used in her own house at this season of the year. That for the lirst day consists of a breakfast of grantfruit, oatmeal cooked ten hours with cream, chops, French rolls and coffee. The lunch for this day Is a Welsh rarebit, loast and coffee; the dinner, clear soup, boih-d mutton with egg sauce, boiled rice, spinach, lettuce with Frenrh dressing, wafers with cheese, and small cups of coffee. For the next day there are oranges, hominy grits with milk, picked codfish cooked with egg ami cream, French rolls ami coffee. The lunch consists cd' cold mutton, bread and rornmeal mush and milk. The " dinner for this day is cienr soup, stewed cabbage, celery with French .dff ssing, wafers, cheese and coffee. A. dinner that sounds very goocl has for the fu st oursc clear soup, the second ronst chicken without sniffing, cranberry sauce, twilled lice, stewed celery, lrttuce'wdth Prem h dressing, wafers, cheese, preserved dates and e-olfee. A Friday's dinner is a clear tomato soup without meat, boiled- ftonneler with llollandaise same, boiled potatoes, cauliflower with cheese sauce, celery with mayonnaise, wafers jnd coffee. The daintiest breakfast, that fur Sunday morning, consists of oranges, oat moil and cream, tomato oniflet. coffee, rire flannel c akes and maple sirup. You will probably notiere the absence of pastry' and take in these menu?. It ia Mrs. lio-

I rer's opinion that .the-ordinary rich des

sert Is better omitted, and not at all necessary to complete a nice dinrter. Wheu there is a dessert, she prefers. I believe, something very simple and light. When an expensive sweet dish is omitted. It gives the housewife an extra allowance for vegetables anil good meat, and after one becomes accustomed to tt he finds that a crisp wafer, a bit of good cheese and a clear Uttle cup of black coffee is a much, more appetizing finish to the feast. X. Y. Evening IVst. Ilonneliold Hints. Powdered pipe day. mixed with water, will remove oil stains from wall paper. Before la ving a carpet wash the fleor with turpentine to prevent buffalo bugs. The line, as soon hs its duty is ended, should le reeled up and placed in a bag until next time. Pillow slips should be ironed lengthwise Instead of crosswise if one wishes to iron wrinkles out Instead of in. Dish towels and common towels can be ironed just as well in half the tim if folded together once as if ironed singly. Clothes when brought in should be separate.! and folded at once; if allowed to lie togeih'-r many wrinkles accumulate. !on't grease a. creaking hinge and stick it up with a remedy that is worse than the evil, but put a little graphite or soft lead pem il on the piece of friction. If shelves and floors of closets are wiped with water hot with cayenne pepper and afterward sprinkled with borax and alum, roaches and other vermin are kept at bay. A pair of white glove? e.r mittens are a comfort to hands taken from hot suds to hang clothes in zero weather; also a close-fitting jacket and hood to keep one from catching cold. A pleasant tooth powder, and benefit in 1 as wdl, is made .f finely ground orris root and precipitate"! chalk in ecpial parts. When flavored with oil of rose it is ve-ry fragrant. Sheets folded across, bringing the wide and narrow hems together, then folded again, then ironed arross loth sides, are finished quickly and look as well asif more time were spent em them. Wheu the fat's in the fire it is never wise to throw water upon it. If fat in a kettle boils over and there are ashes convenient to throw on the bla7.e. it is the surest, safest way to put it out. Steel knives used at table or for cutting bread, meat or anything for which a sharp knife is needed should never be used for stirring or cooking anything in hot grease, as it makes them very dull. Ink stains on silvr can be removed bymixing a little chloride of lime to a paste with water and covering the spots wdth it. They will quickly disappear, and the paste should be washed off and the article wiped dry. The chimney of a lamp should never be touched with water. A few drops of alcohol, or even paraffine oil. will remove the dimmed, smoky effect and make the chimney as bright as possible, when it is polished with a soft flannel or chamios skin. When oiled walnut furniture begins to grow dingy it ran be made to look as fresh as new by reoiling. Linseed, or even olive oil, -may be used, but pure, good kerosene oil is mu:h the best. Rub it well in with a soft woolen rag and polish with clean dry flannel. To dean hair brushes quickly and easily take a. elessertspixnful of hartshorn to a quart of cold water in a wash handbasin. Hip in the hair of the brushes and rub them together until clean. Then rinse well with cold water, rub dry with a towel and stand upright in an open window. Rroketi china may be me nded by making a light paste of the white of an egg and flour, cleaning the broken edges front dust, spreading them with the paste and holding the parts together while wet; wipe off all that oozes out. It must be held or fastened in position until dry. A o fori ess cement is made ly dissolving a half ounce of gum arabir in a wineglass of, boiling water, adding plaster of paris to form a thick paste. Use at once, aiilying with a thick brush. ' 11lnnl1Ie Iteeipes. Hanover Sauce for Chicken Roil the liver of the fowl, then pound it in a mortar with the- juice of half a lemon, add half a pint of cream, a little salt and pepper. The ipiaiitity of cream depends upon how much sauce you may require. To Make Mustard Four heaping tea-pp-tonfuls of mustard, one teuspoonful of powdered sugar and a half-teaspoonful of salt. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly and add boiling water, a little at a time, 1 11 T it is smooth and thick. Then add one scant teaspoonful of vinegar. Mimed Mutton Take a pound and a half of cooked mutton and mime It as fine as possible and season it highly with pepper and salt. Warm half a pint of good brown gravy, or gravy made front the lxuies. make ih mince very hot in it, and serve with a border of poached Celery a La Creme Take six heads of celery, cut them in pieces about two inches long, wash them very clean and b.iil them in water until tender. Take half a pint of cre-am. mix with it a piece of butter rolled in flour and a little salt and grated nutmeg: boil it up until it is thick and smooth, put it in eelery. warm up and server with the sauce poured over it. Old-fashioned Molasses Candy Pour into a large kettle a tjuarl of luidasses, boil for one-half hour over a slow fire, Stirling to prevent it from lxdljng over. When a little dropped in water becomes brittle, add tine-half teaspoonful soda, stir cjulekly and puir out to cod; turn in the edges as they cool, and when cool enough to handle pull until it becomes a golden color. Ronny Clabber Cake One and-, onehalf pounds of flour, one ami one-quarter pounds of sugjr. three-quarters of a pmnd of butler, four eggs, a siotiftil ol mace. Mix the above, and stir into it a pint of clabber, without whey, add a small desserisp onful of saleratus, dissolved iu a tablespoonf ul of new milk. Mix it lightly. Put it into the oven uncovered until it begins to rise, which it will do in a few minutes, then put on the lid. Rüper Scotch Roil a cupful of sugar, a cupful of molasses, half a cupful of butter, a tablospoonful of vinegar and one-fourth teaspoonful of soda. Stir freeiuently and as soon as the sirup will snap between the teeth after being dipped in cold water remove from the lire and flavor to taste, pour upon a buttered tin one-fourth of an inch thick and when nearly cold mark off in strips or s innre and wrap in paraffin paper. This is excellent. Rice Meringue Roil a quarter of a IKiund of rit e in alwut a pint ' of new milk until it Is sufficiently tender to swell the grain. Let It cool and then add two ounces and a half of sugar, the grated peel of one lemon.' a piece tf butter the size of an egg and the beaten yolks- of six eggs. Mix all together thoroughly and then pour into a buttered dish. Beat the whites of live eggs to a stiff froth and lay it over the top. Rake in a slow oven and serve. at once.

cakes sold by the baker, plit the cakes 1 and brown them a littk on each side in hot-butter. Put on a dish where they will keep hot ami lay on each a slice ' of preserved or canned pineapple. In

the pan where the cakes were browned put a cupful of pineapple sirup, and when hot add a level tablesiiexjnful of corn starch dissolved in a little cold water. When the ssuce thickens pour J it over the pineapple toast. This is a good reoepo for chafing dish cookerv. N. Y. Post. . Plain Breakfast Pie Cut two pounds of steak into small pieces, with a verylittle fat, place theni in a pie dish, teason each layer with pepper, salt and a very little cayenne, and dredge with piece's of steak to raise the crust, to the ! middle; half fill the dish with water, or any gravy left from roast beef, and a tablespoon ful of Worcestershire- sauce. Put a border of paste round the wet edge of the dish, moisten it. and lay the crust over it. Cut the paste even with the edge of the dish all round, ornament it with leaves of paste, and brush it over with th" beaten yolk of an egg. Make a hole with a knife in the top and bake an hour and a half in a hot oven. "Winter Pea Soup Soak a quart f split peas iu water over night. In the morning put theni on to boil in a gallon of water, add a little salt, sugar, an onion rut in slices, a little thyme, parsley, a bay leaf, half a pound of streaky salt pork and two pounds of beef r veal, cut into small pieces. As soon as it hoils set it back where it will cook slowly until the peas are boiled to a puree and the water has reduced half. Take out the meat and pork, rub the soup through a sieve, put it into a denn saucepan. let it boil up and serve, if you like you can omit the meat ami pork and one quart of water and add one quart of milk and half a pound of butter. Pepper Pot To feir quarts of wafer put one pound of corned Hirk. two pounds of the neck or scrag of mutton and a small knuckle of veal. Let this simmer slowly three hours, skimmingall the while, and Ihen take out the mutton (as that will serve for table, with drawn butter and celery). Into this broth put four sliced wht-e turnips if In season, six or eight tcjrmatoes if not, a tablfsponnful of the tomato catsup, an onion sliced thinly, a small piece cf the garden pepper and half a teasp. N-vnful of salt. Have reaoy boiled a quarter of a pound of nice w'hite tripe; rut this into strips of an inch in length: add six potatoes, thinly slice!; alout a dozen whole e loves and a pint bowl full of nice little light dumplings che size of a walnut; let this simmer slowly for an hour. Serve hot. but take out the pork and veal bones before serving. A Use for Dry Cake One of the best ways that I have yet discovered for using the crumbs and broken bits of nice cake is lo dry them carefully, not so that they are hard, then to roll" them fine. Take half a. box of gelatine and cover It with half a cup of cold water and let it stand until it is soft. Whip a pint of cream and put the bowl containing it in a pan of ice water. Mix lightly with cream, half a cupful of powdered sugar and two teaspoonfuls of vanilla, and the cake crumbs. Do this very care ful y without much beating or stirring, taking care that the crumbs are sifted or sprinkled evenly through the cream. Add a very little unwhlppeed cream to the gelatine, and melt, over hot water. Stir it into the other part of the pudding and stir without stnj-ping until it begins to thicken. Put into a mold to harden and serve very cold. For the quantity of cream given use a pint of crumbs. Sherry is excellent, combined with the vanilla, for a flavor, if you use wine. New York I ost.

Joseph Hoffman, aged thirteen, has been maimed for life by tin xplosion of one of a box of bombs, whieli the police believe were made by anarSiists and hidden in the sand lots of Williamsburg until such time as they should be wanted. The Hoffman boy and Charles ami Frank Obfi'ly were praying in the lots today, when they turned up the sand near a massive leowbler and found the box containing six bomiiis. The Hoffman boy, being the oldest, took charge of the lind and examined the bombs carefully. Young Hoffman tinally picked up one bombs and said he was about to hurl It against a bidder. The other boys turned and ran away. They had run about ene hundivd feet wheu Hoffman hurled the bomb thirty feet at a bowlder. The result was disastrous. The Oberly boys say tihey felt as though the earth had opened under them anel when they turned Hoffinxin was lying on the ground screaming at the top of his voice. All the skin of his face and hands was peeled off and he had several lacerations of the body and limbs. The police have the box containing the five bomb, which are of tin and oblong. About three months ago half a dozen ttombs were found in the lots, but the police were unable to find the makers. The district abminels in anarchistic societies, and in tihe vicinity is the newhome of Johann Alost. In a crowded tenement district in Parkst., mainly inhabited by Italians, a mysterious explosion occurred tonight. Xobody knows what it was that went off, but the police think it was a bomb of some sort. Some windows were shattered, and a child in ene of the tenements was thrown from a chair by the concussion. Sonic of the Italians who saw the explosion say that it looked as though a glass ball burst in the air. lp to midnight no solution of the mystery had been reached. An Outrnge in Mnelrid. MADRID.

As ;vm as he trains had arrived and poiir'd them forth the streets were alive wifi the e-olor-hearers of the Indiana col. leves a jolly, howling and turbulent mass of humanity, but ladies and gentlemen tinder all lircuinstanees. It was the occasion of the annual contest of the Intercollegiate oratorical association tif Indiana an! the Grand opera house, wherein the contest was held, was the center toward which all turned when the shades of evening had fallen. the evening meal had been disposed of and a day of fun and frolic in the cityenjoyed. The main four and balcony were crowded to the limit of their capacity at 8 o'clock. The glee club of the state univerislty had decorated the proscenium boxes and reserved them for its own use. They were resplendant in the brilliant red and white of the college. DePauw massed its forces along the entirerear row of the dress c ircle and on the right of the balcony, while her rival the state university, was assembled in numbers on the left of the balcony. Rut It was immediately back of them. Frankling was congregated in a huge bum-h of waving color in the dress circle up against the stage, among the students pitting Prof. Hrown ajid Mrs. Zeppenfeld of the faculty. Wabash was supported by Prof. McClain and Prof. Chapman of the faculty, and was massed in the dress circle. The other colleges were bunched throughout the main floor and the balcony. With the first appearance f the students in the opera house the wild howls and whoops that are to be translated into the representative yells of several cdleges began to echo through the house. First came forth the deafening "rip saw" of old DePauw. quickly followed by the "Frangipani Indiana" of the State university, and then the others took up the cry. t was from that time forth a desperate contest of lung power In the way of strength and endurance, and it was impossible to judge as to who was the victor. The yells blended into a discordant roar and commingled in a deafening pandemonium. This continued to the great enjoyment if not edification of the audience and did not cease until the program began. Plenty of 'Mimic. The music of the evening was furnished by the orchestra, the Kariham ladies' quartet and the state university glee club. The college musical organizations were received warmly and their selections were appreciated. Upon the stage were seated the seven contestants. KIbert Russell of Hearlham, presid-nt of the state association, and the Rev. W. F. Taylor, who invoked the divine blessing at the beginning of the program. The ladies' quartet sang as an encore the "Cuckoo" song and when the lltrt oration upon "The United States Senate" followed immediately afterward, there was a slight ripple of amusement at the close assimilation of the two. Itobert II. lcnln. Robert R. McCain of Hanover college was the tirst orator of the evening. He had selected for his subject "The United States Senate." Ho outlined the birth of the constitution and the mission of the senate as a balancing power between what might degenerate into a rabid democratic house of representatives and a monarchical executive. He described the senate as a body of men of the highest qualifications and attainments and of dignitv only inferior to the supreme court "itself. He had a very high opinion of it and deptveated the great wave of popular sentiment that has arisen adverse to that body. Government action should be slow and deliberative as its importance deserved and the senate should not be besieged by the crys of the masses. I.. F. Dlnimltt. L. F. Dimmitt of DePauw brought out an original idea in "The Humane Spirit in Modern Civilization." It was replete with careful . thought, and the decision of the judges in awarding the oration the first prize met with general favor. The humane spirit, which was the subject, is an invisible, democratic', ethical force which has been for centuries and is nowshaping modern civilization. In religion it lias brought deeper thought and a general brotherhood of creeds; in political life it has taught that governments must not be based upon the selfish interests of the few. but be directed toward the improvement and elevation of the great mass of the people: it has taught that man has inalienable rights; it is the keen perception of right and wrong in the bosom of mankind and moves it to respect that distinc tion. Sylt im W. Kuhn. "The Problem of the Children" was the subject of the oration of Sylvan W. Kahn of the State university. He based his views upon the present depression and so made? his oration a timely one. The problem of poverty has been made the subject of general study as never before and in this way the depression had not been without its good effects. His argument was that the root of all the evils of the world is in the manner of raising the children of the slums, and these helpless little onos should le removed from the evil associations and conditions in which they are horn, that they may be rimdc good and useful citizens. - - V. .1.. O erst reel. Franklin, college was represent ed by C, L. Ovcrslreet, who .spekp ui'ii "The Power of Personality." He took the lalo Phillips Brooks as his theme and showed that tho great influence wielded by him was not th result Of gifted oratory, his noble character or his pleasing address. It was something higher and beyond. It was the power of personality. ; lleijv .. hlte. "The Reign nf Justice" was the oration that was put into the contest by F.arlham. The author and orator was Roy W. "White. His treatment of lh subject "wa.s irrir similar lines to ihos taken, by Mr. Imnmitt of, DePauw. He pictures! the .barbaric condition of the primitive ages when man was' in the darkness of heathenism. Into'eratir; and oppression reigned supreme and it was a battle without mercy of the strong against the weak. The stoics ana epicureans of old foUKht this spirit each
