Teaching Economy to Children.
New York Evening Post


A simple rule which has worked wonders
financially, and is in many other respects of
value and worthy of the attention of mothers
is this When the children come in wild with
excitement and with strong desire for some en-
tirely unnecessary thing, which you doubt will
afford the expected delight, counsel them to wait
a week before deciding upon its purchase. A
week is a long period of time; many changes
may take place in seven days, and probably
will in the minds of your children. This ex-
pertinent has been thoroughly tested. and CRATE
full children have been heard to exclaim "Iow
thankful l am, mother. that l didn't spend my
money for that. If l hadn't waited week
my money would have all been gone" and in one
remarkable instance boy who wanted tobog-
gan, and waited week before purchasing it,
changed his desire, and at the end of the week
wished only for pair of old fajhioned 'bobs;'
at the end of another week he had decided not to
purchase these, but wait and get bicycle and q
pair of roller skates; and by this method of pro
ee6ure has saved hrs money, after having en-
joyed mentally the possession of one of these ar
ticles after another, though in a somewhat de-
lusive and evasive way and is just thinking of
Saving up for rifle. OF course this is an ex-
treme case. 1t is a rule which might be adopted
by some parents, also, with good effect and I
fancy that a great deal of money would be found
in the family treasury if each member were to
try this plan for a. year.

Household Hints.

The soft, bright silk handberchiefs
which can now be bought so cheap, make hand
some curtain bands. 1t is not always necessary
to embroider them
The moment ink is split take a little milk and
saturate the stain; soak it up with a rag and
apply little more milk rubbing 1T we'll in In
few minutes the ink will be completely re-
moved
Imitation ground glass can be prepared by
dissolving two tablespoonful of EPSON salts in a
pint of lager beer and painting the glass with
the mixture. After drying, the glass will ap
pear as if frosted.
A very little cream of tartar in the frosting
for cake will hasten the hardening process. If
the knife is often dipped into water while spread
ing the frosting, it will give a gloss OF polish
greatly to be desired.
The prettiest way to make a shoulder cushion
for STRAIGHTFORWARD and narrow chair is to
make a bag of the right width and size, then face
the ends with silk and tie them or shir them as
you would a work-bag or scent-sachel.

GOVERNOR a. G. PORTER.
An Enthusiastic Endorsement of Him as
Vice-Presidential Candidate.

Presidential Candidate.
shebyville Republican.
The president makers, when they assemble
at Chicago, must not forget that Indiana has good
reason to claim at least one place on the ticket.
The combat is so fierce between those who as
pire to head the ticket that not much is being
said about the second place. That is place of
great Importance, and it should not be allowed to
go begging If Indiana does not get the first
place she ought at least be given the second
place She will not get it unless she asks for it.
Who IS better man for the place than Albert
g. Porter, our Governor. He is not only eapa-
BILE but available. He is in the prime of life,
vigorous and energetic IN all his public life he
has done not one thing to bring the blush Of
shame to his cheek. In public and in private
life he is without blemish
AS an orator, he has no superior in Indiana
His oratory is scholarly and polished, yet simple
and practical The educated and unedueated
alike listen to him with delight and profit, We
are confident that he can make more good
speeches, on different topics and succeeding
days than any man who was ever nominated
for the vice presidency. He could be trusted to
make good speech a new subject each day
of the campaign, and we are sure he would not
make mistake.
There is no man in the State who can run as
good a race before the people. He is several
thousand stronger than his party, and cannot be
beaten in Indiana. His nomination would be an
inspiration to the Republicans of Indiana, de-
served compliment to Governor Porter, aud d
great benefit to the party.

The business of buying votes at an election is
one that no good citizen will engage in or coun-
telance in any party. There ought to be a law
to disfranchise for life every man who sells his
vote and every man who buys vote. 1t is al
ready menace to good government in many
States. In the State of Indiana it is claimed by
well-posted politicians of both parties that there
are from u 600 to ID 900 such purchasable cattle
Half that number would be sufficient, in a State
as evenly balanced between parties as this State,
to turn the State government over to whichever
party chose to pay them the highest price
for their votes, thereby making a disgusting
farce of the basic principles of government by
the people for the people,

Of course that frightened ne, and when

ternoon my father and Gilberto took me
to store on Chestnut street and bought
the goods for my wedding dress. It was

asked me why not. Then 1 told her all

ciety that protects children from cruelty.
She then told me where it was, and came

bsrto is tailor. He is twenty-five years
old, and lives on Eighth street near Fitz-

Her parents, she added, were Roman
Catholics, and they wanted her to be mar
