Editorial,
WHERE TO ADVERTISE.
A little booklet bound in red, size
18 inches by W. D. Boyce, of
Chicago, callod " Census figures for
advertisers" giving some interesting
facts. The population of the United
Btates by the last report is 82,622,60,
and the average number of persons
to each family, 5.5 subdivided as
follows :
Urban population 17,380,674
Suburban " 35,056,681
Rural " 10,175,895
The percentage of the three classes
being Urban, Suburban, 56;
Rural, 16.
The book says that the 27 per
cent, can be reached by the daily
newspapers, but the great bulk of
the remaining 72 per cent, rely on
the big weeklies, local weeklies and
' agricultural publications for the
news of the world. The moral is
advertise in your local papers.
Under the rules of rotation in this
Senatorial district the next state Sen
ator will go to the Democrats of
Monroe. But if Monroe would for
get her duty to Pike in the Congress
ional, would Milford honor Strouds
burg's call on the Senatorship I Le
bighton Record.
The firemen prompt in action as is
befitting, met this week to' arrange
for a Fourth of July celebration in
Milford, This action is eminently
proper and timely. No reason ex
ists why we should not furnish
the people of the town and sur
rounding country with a pleasant
and patriotio time. There is talent
hereto provide a first-class celebra
tion. All the citizens should enter
into the matter with zeal, and
heartily co-operate with the firemen
in their laudable undertaking,
The Lehighton Advocate wants
to know why tne Reoord supported
the late Major Blots two years ago
as Carbon's choloe. It was neces
sary to do that in order to break
Northampton's vioious hold up
on .the Congressional apple. As
against Northampton Carbon had a
right to contend. And it was Car-
bon's firm stand in that contest that
gave the little counties a chance.
Pike won the prize and is entitled to
a second term under all laws of poli
tics. Carbon's turn will oome next,
then the Advocate will have a li
cense to make a fight for anybody
it choses. But to mix the Demo
crats of Carbon in a factional quar
rel at this time is suicide for the
county ticket and will avail the Con
gressional aspirant nothing. Le
highton Record.
It is nearly May 1st soon the
boarders will be looking around for
places to spend the summer. Is
Milford taking on any holiday at
tire to greet them is she even me
tophorically speaking washing her
faoef Borne have dope what they
could in the way of removing ob
structions from the streets, which
never should have boon pla-nod there
but our town oountill and street
commissioners, or haven't we any,
are they all idle myths, mere va
porers and gasconaders. Nature
has done much for us, is doing all
she can, but our officials by their in
action are more than her equal In un
doing her work. O, oome please
get a move on you, and if you can't,
resign In a body, in favor of some
one who can and will. Don't be
blisters even a running sore is bet
ter. The Rev. T.. J. Lee, who discov
ered and disclosod the theft of the
sermon which Dr. Morgan preachod
in New York on Easter Sunday, has
been Recused of tho same offense.
He is charged with cribbing the
class ode he prepared for commence
ment when he graduated from Yale,
from a poem of Rev. Drydon Phelps.
The similarity of thought and phras
ing is rather remarkable in the first
stanza, beyond that tho coincidence
does not go. Whether Mr. Lee ap
propriated the thought and in part
the language of Rev. Fholjis in his
poom. does not alter the fact in re
gard to Dr. Morgan. It is natural
as a rule for college boys to evade
the labor of orglnating their literary
productions, while they have groat
ambitions to be considered as high
ly orginal. There is no need to apo
logize for Mr. Loo, apparently he
hos been hoist with his own petard,
let him come down as gracefully as
he can. His offense does not mitl
gate or palliate that of Dr. Morgan
who it is evident appropriated an
entire sermon, and his excuse that
he was oveiweory is no defonoe for
his wholesale deception. Nor is Dr,
Morgan's or Mr. Lee's lapsus, any
serious charge against tho clergy.
They are but human and occasional
ly one will err. If they can prosont
truth as formulated by others more
effectively than in their own langu
ate it is pardonable and no discredit
of.
THE LADIES' COLUMN.
We wish to suggest to the ladies
that this column is always open to
any and all who wish to suggest
domestic subjocts of any nature
whatever, either to ask advice or
furnish information to others, and
we earnestly hope all readers of the
Press and who desire will avail
themselves of the opportunity, and
thus receive as well as confor bene
fits. To Remove Ink From Papes:
Take a teaspoon of chlorinated lime
and pour on it enough water to cov
er, take a piece of old linon and mois
ten by putting on it. Do not rub.
If one application does not remove
the stain let the paper dry and ap
ply again.
.
A Good Cough Remedy : An ex
cellent remedy for a cough is mode
by slicing two lemons thin and add
ing ten cents worth of whole flax
seed, ten cents worth of licorice root
and one gill of water, some sugar,
boil until quite thick and strain.
Take frequently a toaspoonful of the
mixture.
An All-nioht Candle : A small
piece of candle may be made to burn
all night by putting finely powdered
salt on it until it reaches the black
part of the wick. An even light
may be kept this way.
Planked Shad: We have been
requested to furnish a recipe for
"planked shad." Procure an oak
plank two and a half inches thick,
this should be made smooth and
slightly hollowed on one side. Place
in the oven until very hot. Split the
shad in halves down the back and
lay on the plank skin Bide next to
plank. Season with salt and pepper,
put bits of butter all over it and
bake until a deep brown. Garnish
with parsley and slices of lemon.
Epicures think shad should never
be cooked in any other way, and it
is considered quite proper to serve
at table on the plank which is placed
on a china meat or fish plate.
Shad Roe Omelette : One large
fresh shad roe break np thoroughly
in a bowl removing all skin, season
with salt, pepper and parsley.
Break in it two eggs and two table
spoons melted butter. Fry in hot
drippings or butter. Mash the cakes
out well and cover to prevent spat
tering. M. K, D.

Young Men and Marriage.
BY RKV. MADISON 0. PKTF.RS, I). D.
It is the purpose of this article to
find marks of a true wife by which
young men may be helped in choos
ing a life-partner. Beginning in the
unromantio fashion, I say to the
young mam You want a good
housekeeper. Wife is an Anglo
Saxon word, and means weaver.
Before our groat cotton and cloth
factories arose, one of the principal
employments in every homo was
the fabrication of clothing ; every
family niado its own. The wool was
spun into thread by tho girls, who
wore thorofore called spinsters ; the
thread was woven iuto cloth by
their mother, who was colled the
woavor, or wife.
You don't want a doll, or some
thing too fine, too ethereal, for real
use. Tho ideals of womanhood in
novels liavo all thoir loveliness shat
tered in a day by tho rough tisngo of
real life. Wordsworth paints the
woman you want :
A creature not too bright or Rood
For huninii nature's daily fissl,
The renson firm, the temperate will,
KtiritirniH, fortnight. Rt tvngth, and skill;
A ierfcct woman, nofily planned,
To worn, to comfort, and command,
And yet a spirit., mill and liriif 1 1 1,
With something of an angel light.
Good housekeeping has far more
to do with domestio happiness than
young lovers dream of. I believe
that these times nend women whose
most beautiful work will bo dono In
side their own doors. Without good
housekeeping the romnnco will soon
go out of marriage. Of course, the
man who prizes woman chiefly be
cause she "looketh well to tho ways
of her household" does not deserve
to have a good wife, no should
merely employ a housekeeper, and
pay her good wages. But there are
social, moral, and spiritual uses,
proceeding from tho wise regula
tion of tho.housohold, which bestow
a dignity on what would otherwise
be trifling. No matter what a girl's
accomplishments may be, her edu
cation is incomplete, if she has not
some knowledge of bake-ology, boil
ology, roast-ology, stitch-ology, and
mond-ology. Even if a girl should
never bo required to do the work
horsolf, she ought to know whothor
it is dono in a proper manner.
The greatest dofoct in our social
system is the aimless way in which
our girls are brought up. Many of
them are prepared in neither body
or mind for the lofty duties and seri
ous responsibilities which marriage
Implies, and marriage, in conse
quence, has been brought down to a
low, sensual plane. Let our girls be
brought up to have their, regular
daily domostio dutios, let idloness be
forbiddon them, and let evory wo
man be clothed with the dignity of
a useful life. With Dr. J. G. Hol
land, we boliove that there is but
one cure for many of our social evils,
"universal housekeeping."
Again, I counsol evory young man
who is seeking a wife to look woll
to the tempor of the girl he thinks
of marrying.... Even if she is a model
housekeepor.boautiful in face, grace
ful in manner, and majestic as a
goddess, still, if she has a violent
tempor,you had bettor live on alone.
Socrates said that he married Xan
tippe and endured her for self-dis
cipline. The men who look at the
subjoct in that light are like the
great phllosophor, dead.
Solomon, who was not lacking in
experience, took a difforont view:
"It is bettor to dwell in the corner of
the housetop than with a brawling
woman in the wide house." John
Wesley's wife used to sit in the mid
dle of tho aisle in City Road Chapel,
and make mouths at him while he
preached. One day he spoke of the
slandors which were being uttered
against him, and declared that he
had been accused of every Bin and
crime except drunkenness. Where
upon his wife arose and accused him
of having been drunk, and the
founder of Methodism exclaimed :
"Thank God, the catalogue is com
plete?" John Wesley was qualified
to give good counsol. A young man
asked his advice about marrying,
He hod two girls in mind. One was
of a gentle and loving disposition,
but not a professing Christian. The
other was a church member, and
active in every good work, but she
was hot-headed and fiery-tempered
Which would Mr. Wesley advise him
to marry ? Promptly came the
answer : "Marry the woman of lov
ing disposition." Charles Swain
truthfully sings :
There' is not a cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one-half ho dear:
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth.
ur tnousauus guinea a year,
It maketh poverty content,
To Morrow whistlers peace;
It Is a gift from heaven tent,
For mortal to increase.
A charm to banUh grief away,
To free the brow from cam
Turns team to smile, makes dullness gay,
Spreads gluduoas everywhere.
And yet 'tin cheap as summer' dew
That gem the lily's breast
A talisuiou for luve as true
As ever uiau poBScsaod.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud
When threatening storms begin:
As music 'mid the tempest loud
That still iu sweet ways wins;
As springs an arch across the tide
When waves nnnfllctlno' foam.
Bo comes the seraph to our side.
I he angel to our home.
What may this wandering spirit be,
yYlth power nnheard Iw'toret
This charm, this bright divinity f
Gtss! nature nothing more.
Giwsl tetner 'tis tie choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lilt
10 miss unknown to Kings.
