Household Hints.

A fancy work scrap-book is very useful.
Paste in it everything you wish to save con-
corning fancy work.
Pin-cushion covers made of cheese-cloth
embroidered and trimmed with lace, wash
well and keep their looks.
A Japanese parasol, with the handle and
all the inside taken ont, tackled fiat upon the
ceiling, makes a pretty center-piece in a
room or hall, especially if there is a hanging
lamp.
Crib covers are pretty worked with silk in
outline upon white linen and edged with
lace, or have a pretty design and a motto
stamped upon some transparent washing
materials, aud line it with blue or pink silk
or silesia.
An old table may be converted into a hand
some piece of furniture if it is covered neatly
with dark-green or crimson velveteen and a
worsted fringe, same color, tackled aroun
the edge with gilt-headed tacks. Varnish
the legs after painting them tine color of the
cover.
Shoe-bags, after the model of the old
| fashioned ones made of holland, stitched in
compartments, may be rendered a little more
ornamental by using crash, lined with tur-
key red and bound with scarlet worsted
braid. Upon each pocket work a small fig
ure or flower in cTewel.
An old turkey has rough and reddish legs,
a young one smooth and black. Poultry,
when young, have the legs and comb smooth;
when old, they are rough, and on the breast
are long hairs instead of feathers. Fowls
and chickens should be plump on the breast,
fat on the back. and white-legged.
The latest lovelty in bed linen consists of
sheets, pillow cases and shams hemstitched
and embroidered, and decorated with dia-
mond- shaped and square blocks of linen,
hemstitched on in geometic patterns of
various kinds, and bordered by frills hem
stitched and vandyked in the edges. Others
are hemstitched in rings and dots.
A mixture which is excellent for remov-
ing grease spots and stains from carpets and
clothing is made of two ounces of ammonia,
two ounces of white CASTLE soap, one ounce
of glycerine, one ounce of ether; cut the soap
fine, dissolve IN one pint of water over the
fire, add two quarts of water. This should
be mixed with water in the proportion of a
~teacupful to one ordinary-sized pail of water,

Who Shall Milk2


Farmers Review.
I One writer says: when the men outnum-
Der the women, they should do it," But the
editor of the Dairyman objects, and says:
Now, our opinion is that this is a poor So
luton of a knotty problem. The object
should be to select a mixer with q view to
getting the gteatest yield from the cow. To
accomplish this, the member of the family
with the sweetest temper must be selected.
Of course this limits our selection to the
female branch, but still there are conditions
that spoil even a sweet woman's temper,
such as muddy yards and filthy stables.
Then let the men milk or keep the COW ac-
commodations clean enough TO invite the
good will of the women. These remarks
apply, of course, to the farm where there
regular dairy, men alone should do the
milking"
The writer was drought up on a farm
where from fifteen to forty cows were MIXED,
and where the women folks were about
equal to those of the sterner sex, so far as
numbers were concerned. In the earlier
years the women MIXED in fair summer
weather. But as the years went by, the con-
viction grew that it did not pay; the arm and
hand were not strong enough to milk with
sufficient rapidity. To milk with perma-
nent profit, the work should be done rap
idly and with ease to the cow. Hence the
boys" of the family did not milk much I'M
til they were at Last fourteen or fifteen years
old. This is contrary to the custom of many,
but with over twenty years personal expert
ence and observation in milking, the con-
viction abide strong that the average women
and boys should not milk; it won't pay in
the long run.

Notes and Personalities,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3,-The Republican SEN
ators expect to hold a caucus tomorrow, for
the purpose of nominating officers for the
Senate. The Sunday Herald says authorita-
lively that Senators Malone and Riddle
berger will not enter the caucus, and that
they will vote for no one for Secretary but
Mr.. George G. Gorham."
A correspondent says of the betting on the
result of the speakership caucus: "Charlle
Mann backed the loser to the extent of 81, 900;
but this is nothing to the amount staked by
Randalps friends in New York and elsewhere.
John Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
reported to have put up over 500, 600 on tie
defeat of Carlisle. The winners generally are
agents of the whisky ring, who came here
supplied with big rolls of greenbacks, and
bet right and left on Kentucky blood. Every
hotel keeper in town is a stakeholder, and
their safes are filled with the stakes"
Assistant Secretary John c.. New said:
This action of the Democrats gives us two
issues-the tariff and the solid South. The
Republican party is in as good shape to-day
as it was in 1868. 1t is shown that its mission
is not fulfilled"

OF 1884 by the reawakened fears of the bust
ness community, will rather allay those fears
by a course so studiously conservative as to
win for himself the prize in the national
convention.

have been done that would have so justified
the hope that the statesmen of the party are
to be brought to the front as that one sig

means a radical and narrow-minded interfer-
ence with the essential elements of the glori-
Gus progress that has been achieved since the
rebellion was suppressed and the Republican
rule was established.
Boston Advertiser (Rep.( To know what
to expect OF the Democratic party is itself
an advantage which the country has not en-
Joyed for many years, and it is one which the
Republicans should not be slow to act upon
in taking the initiative in wise and necessary
legislation.
Boston Journal (Rep.E The State which
is the best representative of the Democracy
has been very properly accorded the second
of1ee in the government in point of power.
The change means that the Kentucky type
OF Democracy is to go to the front in the
present House..
Philadelphia Press (Rep,): The Southern
representatives constitute the majority of the
Democratic party. Hostility to the tariff is
its leading principle. In putting Mr.. Carlisle
at the front, it declares its real policy in frank
and direct fashion, and the country knows
now just where to find it.
st Louis Globe-Democrat: The victory
was a Southern victory, pure and simple.
Carlisle made his race as a representative of
the South rather than as a Democratic leader
in the general sense. His hackers and advo-
Gates were from the Southern States almost
exclusively, and from those States he OBJ
tanned two-thirds of all the votes cast for
him in the caucus.

Aids to the Toilet.

A good dentrifce is made as follows: Dis
solve two ounces of borax in three pints of
warm water. Before it is quite cold add to
it one teaspoonful of ~tincture of myrrh and
one tablespoonful of spirits of camphor.
Bottle it tightly. Half a wineglass of the
mixture can be added to the tumblerful of
water used for brushing the teeth. If APP
Piled daily it will preserve the teeth, remove
tartar and induce a healthy action OF the
gums.
To clean the hair, take one gill of warmish
water, add twenty drops of aqua-ammonia,
and with a bit of flannel or a PONCE wash
tha hair, dividing it into partings, so as to
rub out the dandruf thoroughly. Then
comb the head with a fine-tooth comb, and
let it dry in the air. The hair wash has been
tried for years, and will not only keep the
head very clean if used twice a month, but
preserve the color and thickness of the hair.
A lady who is troubled by the growth of
hair on her upper lip sends to a New York
paper the following as her remedy for the
Disagreement. Lei cold cream be first APP
piled to soften the skin, and then let every
obnoxious hair be separately drawn out by
the roots with a good fine pair of tweezers in
a good light before alooking-glass. The cold
cream car be applied again, and will allay
any irritation. The hair will reappear after
awhile. but the process can be repeated inde6-
nitely, but once a week is often enough. |
have lone it for fifteen years, and l am quite
sure that no one suspects me of having a
mustache." Most depilatories destroy the
skin as we'll as the hair, and shaving tends to
increase its growth.

Drummond Will Soon Resign,

Gresham-The Case of Ex-senator
Spencer-MinOr Items.
THE KELLOGG BRIBERY.

A Letter in Relation Thereto Submitted by
John A. Walsh.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-On the 4th of No
vember, John A. Walsh mailed a letter to
President Arthur, and, as he says, received
no answer. He submits the contents to his
fellow-citizens, which in substance are as
follows:
In obedience to a subpoena he appeared
before the grand jury of the District in the
matter of the United States VS.. ex-senator
William Pitt Kellogg, and the jury found
an indictment against kellogg for bribery.
He learns the case was ixed for the 10th of
December, and Kellogg probably pleaded the
privilege of a member of Congress to avoid
trial. The gentlemen connected with the
star-route case are now anxious to Sc
cure his testimony, but he declined
to see them for the reason that
be in evidence before had been
slandered and criminally libeled without the
government taking legal steps for his pro-
lection. Walsh concludes his letter to the
President as follows: IF my presence as wit
ness in behalf of the United States in the
cases against Thomas J. Brady and VIM. Pitt
kellogg is deemed of sufficient Importance
by you to give your assent to the following
request, l will hold such conferences with
the prosecution as is proper, and appear as a
witness in response to a subpoena:
"First-Merrick or Ker to appear before
the present grand jury of the District,
with a view to prosecuting the indictments
against William Dickson for SANDER,
and AGAINST George G. Gorham, OF the
National Republican and A. c. Buell. ct al.
of the Critic, for c%riminally Iibeling me in
the matter of the Benner claim.
"Second-That you request Attorney-gen-
eral Brewster to answer my letter of inquiry
addressed 70 aim touching a letter written
by him to the Secretary of the Navy, w. r.
Chandler, concerning me.
"Third-Your assurance that the govern
ment will protect me as a witness. By pro-
lection | do not mean physically, as l do that
myself. l mean that protection from SLAM
der and libel which the law entities me to as
a witness.
"Fourth-The assurance that George Bliss
will not represent the government in its ac-
ions against Thomas i. Brady and William
Pitt Kellogg.
address you it is because experience
has taught me no proper remedy is
to be accorded elsewhere. When
you reflect, sir, that the accused
(Kellogg) proclaims his intention of placing
on the witness-stand a member of you cabi-
net to discredit the prosecutions own wit
ness, by having him recite the language used
concerning said witness by another member
of your cabinet, to-wit.: the Attorney-gen-
eral of the United States, is it not time l
should know definitely whether or not l am
to have the moral and legal support of the
government"
One special counsel of the government in
the star-route cases said the subp9nas had
been issued for witnesses in the case against
kellogg, and the government expected to
proceed promptly.
