The Republican rout in Ohio and In

from the supposed vantage ground in

suit has proven was no vantage ground
at all. Other standing ground thcyhad

How TO PREPARE COFFEE.
cooks say good coffee cannot be made
by boiling; it must be leached the
aroma and flavor of the coffee goes off
in the steam if it is boiled. The ground
coffee must be put in vessel that is
like Il fine sieve in the bottom, pour
boiling water on this, and as soon as it
passes through it is fit for use and if not
used Immediately should be placed
where it will simply keep hot and not
boil. We give this French method of
making good coffee not for the benefit
of hygienists, for they will not use cof-
fee, but to those who still feel that they
must take coffee, we would say, if you
must have it, make it in the best way

MIR. COBLEIGH,S MISERY.

MIR. Cobleigh says that when he was
married he weighed 40 pounds, and a
fonrteen-inch band was very comfort
able on his shirt. But now that he
weighs 1S0 pounds it naturally follows
that the collar bad should be proper
tionately increased in size; but his
wife totally disregards this equitable
conclusion and persists in making four
teen-inch bands to his new shirts. In
consequence, Mr.. Cobleigh experiences
much distress in getting the band but
toned, and very frequently is obliged
to call in his wife to help him, which
that admirable woman never fails to do
by buttoning the skin of his throat in
with the button. The fact that these
bands are only fourteen inches when
they should be fifteen is source of
another, and, if anything, much greater
aggravation than bringing these ends
together. The band sits so close to his
neck at it not only endangers his life
by shutting off his breath, but renders
the attachm Mt of collar an almost
hopeless undertaking in that it leaves
no space to insert guiding and
sustaining finger. Last Sunday morn

had reached the eliminating point
IN his domestic misery. Mrs. Cobleigh
was out i'll the kitchen attending to the
finishing touches of her Sunday morn

at the neck. He had his neck stretched
to its utmost tension with view to re-
ducing its circumference as much as

and his face which was red and mottled,
was twisted into grimace expressive of
the most pregnant suffering. In this
condition he was making herculean eff
forts to encompass his object, and was
failing most signally. Anyone simply
studying his face without catching as
much as glimpse of his fingers could
accurately measure his successes. There
was first the look of suppressed interest
as he brought the two points together
without having either slip-which grad
ually merged into one of hysterical
doubt as the hole partly slipped over
the button-and this succeeded in turn
by an expression of quivering expecta-
ton as but one move more remained to
accomplish complete success. Every
nelve in his body tingled at this point,
every muscle was stretched to its great
est tension. He gave the last pressure

Fishy Story About Monroe.

The "Monroc doctrine will have an
other meaning if Il story told by a cor
respondent of the Ere Iericksburg Star,
concerning President Monroe, is true.
After leaving the White House, Mr..
Monroe resided in New York. Here he
became embarrassed and went back to
his farm near Charlottesville. About n
year after a New York creditor sent to
james w. Saunders, lawyer, n claim of
$l00 to collect, Saunders was we'll re-
ceived by the ex-President, breakfasted
with him, and had delightful time un-
til he politely broached the subject of
the $4OO, Mr.. Monroe quietly listened
to the request for payment, went to a
drawer, took out, not the money, but
two pistols, and invited Mr.. Saunders
to grove near the house. The lawyer
demurred, and Monroe said he would
prefer battle to having his peace of
mind destroyed by hungry creditors.

A Novel Theater.

A visitor of the Chinese theater. in
San Francisco, does not seem to be
particularly charmed by the Mongolian
drama. He says: BATTLE scenes are
stock ingredient Of the Chinese drama,
and are conducted ON a principle total
ly at variance with all our modern ideas
of warfare. 1t is no uncommon feat for
the hero to dismiss his army, and, sim
gle-handed, conquer the enemy, merely
using his soldiers as pursuing force.
The stage, which is limited, in that the
orchestra occupy nearly the whole of it,
is merely platform fanked by the walls
of the house, Lit up by some four or five
footlights and two attenuated gas-pipes
pendant on either side of the house,
which terminate in numerous gas jets
far more useful than ornamental. In
the rear screen, festooned, with
spears, armor musical instruments, and
diabolical characters, serves as parti-
ton to veil the dressing-rooms and
green room from the eye of the casual
observer, and two curtained doors are
the means of exit and entrance. 1t has
never been our misfortune to hear the
overture, if one be played, but judging
by the descriptive music and singing
during the progress of the play, which
would make an excellent accompaniment
for wandering minstrel cats, nothing has
been lost"

Fire..

According to Pliny, fire was long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptians, and when celebrated as
tronomer showed it to them, they were
absolutely in raptures. The Persians,
Ph9nicians, Greeks, and several other
nations, acknowledged that their ances-
tors were once without the use of fire,
and the Chinese confess the same of
their progenitors. Pompanion, Mola,
Plutarch and other ancient writer's speak
of nations which, at the time when they
wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had
Just learned it. Facts of the same kind
are also attested by modern nations.
The inhabitants of the Marian Islands,
which were discovered III 1861, had no
idea of fire. Never was astonishment
greater than theirs when they saw it on
the desert in one of their islands. At
first they believed it was some kind of
animal that fixed to and fed upon wood.

Brilliant Success.

1t is permitted to few men or COM
panies to achieve acknowledged superb
ority in any important position or bust
ness The present generation has wit
messed stupendous rivalry in several
branches of industry, and notably the
Sewing Machine business. Amid a
multitude of competitors, steadily and
surely the Wheeler & Wilson Company
held their way from the beginning, upon
fixed and honorable principles. Long
since, their leading position in America
was established. Abroad, at London,
in 1862, they won the highest premi-
ums ; at Paris, in 1867, they distanced
eightytwo competitors, and were award
ed the highest premium, the only Gold
Medal for Sewing Machines exhibited I;
and lastly, amid unparalleled competi-
ton, followed the splendid triumphs at
Vienna, noted in our advertising col
umns.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

KEROSENE is the best article ever dis
covered to cleanse rust from CRATES and
fire irons.
TO PURIFY CIDER.-A few slices of
the red beet, put into barrel of nusty
cider, will deprive it of its disagreeable
taste and smell, as we'll as prevent it
from becoming vapid or acrid.
PURPLE INK.-Take one and one-half
ounces ground logwood, one half ounce
pulverized alum in one and one-half
pint of soft water. This will make a
very fancy ink.
FROSTED FEEr.-They may be cured
as follows: White oak bark, taken
fresh and boiled in water for Il strong
liquor. Bathe the feet in the liquor.
1t is pronounced the best of all rene
dies.
A HOT lemonade is one of the best
remedies in the world for cold. 1t
acts promptly and effectively, and has
no unpleasant after effects. One lemon
properly squeezed, cut in slices, put
with sugar, and covered with half pint
of boiling water. Drink just before GO
ing to bed, and do not expose yourself
on the following day. This remedy will
ward off an attack Of the chills and fever
if used promptly.
CREosoTE FOR WARTS. Hainey,
of st. Thomas Hospital, London, has
written an article for the. Lancet, detail
ing the effects of creosote applied to
warts. He applied it freely in an OBJ
stinate, warty excrescence on the finger,
then covered it over with Il piece of
sticking plaster. This course he pur-
sued every three days for two weeks,
when the wart was found to have disap-
peared, leaving the part beneath it quite
healthy.
A USEFUL SoAP.-The following is,
commended by those who have tried it
for scrubbing and cleaning painted
floors, washing dishes, and other house
hold purposes Take two pounds of
white olive soap and shave it in thin
slices add two ounces of borax and
two quarts of cold water: stir all to-
gether in stone or earthern jar, and
let it set upon the back of the stove I'M
til tho mass be dissolved. A very little
heat is required, rs the liquid need not
simmer. When thoroughly mixed and
cooled, it becomes OF the consistency of
