Facts Worth Knowing.

That salt fish arc quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That cold rain water and soap will re-
move machine-grease from washing
fabrics.
That fish may be scaled much easier
by first dipping them into boiling water
for one minute.
That fresh meat beginning to sour
will sweeten if placed out of doors in
the cool air over night.
That boiling starch is much improved
by the addition of sperm oil, salt or a
little gum arabic, dissolved.
That tablespoonful of turpentine,
boiled with your white clothes, will
greatly aid the whitening process.
That kerosene will soften boots and
shoes that have been hardened by water,
and will render them pliable and new.
That salt will curdle new milk; hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc,
salt should not be added until the dish

That clear boiling water will remove
tea stains; pour the water through the
stain and thus prevent it spreading over
the fabric.
That kerosene will make your teaket-
tie as bright as new. Saturate a woolen
rag and rub with it. 1t will also remove
stains from the clean vanished furni-
ture.

A Clergyman on Blaine.

Rev. w. ii. Boole, a Methodist
preacher, an army chaplain and always
an ardent republican, lectured to his
flock in Williamsburg recently. Mr..
Boole glanced briefly at the platforms
of the republican and democratic par
ties to show that there was little or no
difference between them. The repub-
lican party had been promising for
twenty years to remedy evils that were
still in existence. Then he referred to
the attacks upon Grover Cleveland's
character without comment further
than the remark that, admitting the
worst to be true, it was not likely that
his administration or the administra-
tion of any president would be in the
least affected by the private character
of the incumbent. He also referred 10
the Blaine libel suit, and remarked,
with a slight touch Of scorne that the
man who so dramatically flew TO the
front in defense of the honor of his
family was now willing to let the suit
go over until after the November cleo
ton.
Rev. Mr.. Boole said: "Mr. Blaine is
a lOgician, and have to accuse him OF
duplieity and deception in writing
these words. He could not vote for or
against. the prohibition amendment;
because prohibition is a local issue
Laughter. lie was citizen OF Maine,
and it was the right and duty of every
citizen of Maine to vote on that issue.
He would not Obtrude local Issue into
national politics. When he voted for
governor he voted on local issue, and
his vote for lieutenant governor was on
a local issue, and so was prohibition o
local issue. But Mr. Blaine refused 10
do his duty as citizen of Maine, and
could not vote for or against an amend
ment making constitutional what had
been for twenty-five years statutory
law of Maine, and by his own words OF
explanation he c0hvictS himself as
trickster. [Applause.l The state Of
Maine voted upon purely local ques-
tions months before the national cleo
tiOn. and as a citizen of Maine Mr..
Blaine should have stood up to the
rack in defense Of the institutions OF
that state. lie did not do it and he
tried to cover his cowardice with pit
iful explanation" Applause.
Mr.. Boole then showed that while
Mr.. Blaine was pretending to be a pro-
hibitiOnist he was also in hearty SYM
pathy with the liquor traffic by reading
his letter to Charles Emory Smith, III
which he makes the proposition that
the national supplies be reduced and
state taxation lessened by dividing
among the states the revenue from the
tax on liquors, adding cOmplacently
that "the tendency would be to increase
rather than dimish this ratio as time
rolls on" Mr.. Boole said he merely
read this letter to show that Mr..
Blaine was not a prohibitionist Il
would not care for that" he added,
Hwere it not stated to us that he is."-

A Michigan s1atden's queer Fish.

There was quite q sensation created
on Sullivan's Island recently by the
capture of o fish of genus hitherto
unknown in our waters. 1t was
beached by the waves and was taken
by a party Of ladies, who were
unable to satisfy themselves as to
what manner of fish it was until one Of
the party, lady from Michigan, now
visiting the island and whose knowl-
edge Of ichthyology is by no means
limited. threw light on the subject
The fish belongs to the species known
as sea cucumber and to the genus
holothuria. They are not rare BY any
means, the only remarkable feature OF
its capture being the locality in which
it was found. The fish is Indigenous
to tropical waters. and it is the first
ever caught in our harbor. In size tits
about six inches long and Is shaped
very much like . cucumber, from
which It takes its name. It has neith-
er fms nor feet, but swims by the mo-
ton Of its body as an eel does, its body
being very supple considering its bulk.
1t has a large mouth, which is surround
ed BIZ soft frizzy fringe. Il viii eat

The Sunny Side Of Wesson.

Wesson has no saloons-no intoxicat

and all oppose the liquor trade in any
shape. The merchants say the trade
and good name of the town would b
greatly injured by opening saloons anC
admitting whisky.
They have school money enough il

church has about 800 members and the

The Presbyterian church and congrega-
tion are the smallest.
The Presbyterian church edifce at
Wesson is said to be the prettiest in the
State on the Jackson Railroad. The
Baptist and Methodist church edifces
at Wesson are highly creditable to those
who worship in these churches and to
the town.
There are about three hundred sholars
connected with the Sabbath schools of
Wesson.
The Mississippi Mills Company at
Wesson own all of the town lots not
sold, and once owned those that have
been sold, and land around to the ex-
tent of 1000 acres-over six square
miles. The company never sells a lot
without attaching the strong provision
in the deed that whenever intoxicating
beverages are sold on the lot its title
reYerts back to the Mississippi Mills
Company. When complaints are made
that these beverages are clandestinly sold
on any lot disposed of, tho proprietor is
notified that suit viii be commenced at
once by the original proprietors, and
the property will be forfeited by the
owner if he permits liquor to be sold
ON his place even by lessee.
Wesson is one of the most orderly and
towns in the State, and one
of 4he prettiest and most prosperous on
the Jackson Railroad-seldom any dis
turbance except by those who drink at
or bring liquor from the nearest saloons,
the mother of crime and lawlessness the
world over.

In view of the misery and crime re-

fastened upon the people by the govern

permitting and even licensing the traf-
fc in poisonous drinks, the executive
committee of the Prohibition party call
upon the people of the country to OBJ
serve Wednesday, Oct. 29, as day of
fasting, humiliation and confession, and
in view of the fact that many all over
the land are aroused and realize the
enormity of the liquor crime and are
willing to be at the cost and pains to put
it away, we call upon all Christian be-
levers to unite in prayer to Almighty
God that His aid may be given to
measures which viii result in the
speedy putting away of this guilt and
the suppression of the traffic in alcoholic
