Congressman Hills Mistake.

Congressman Charles M. Anderson,
of Ohio, tells the following story on
his colleague, Mr.. Hill: GA year or two
ago Hill went up into Michigan on a
stumping expedition to help out in a
campaign While there he became &C
quainted with Democrat who could
make a stump-speech that usually
pleased his audience. The Michigan
der, however, had one fault, and that
was he was too fond Of intoxicants.
Notwithstanding this, Hill thought it
would be a good idea to have the elo-
quent Wolverine come into Ohio and
make few speeches and suggested to
his new friend that he come and help
out in the campaign. The Michigan
der expressed his willingness to do so
if the state committee invited him.
Hill promised to arrange it. So this
year he kept his promise and wrote
two letters, one to the chairman OF the
state committee asking him to invite
his Michigan friend to Ohio to make a
couple of speeches. Hill also assured
the state committee of his confidence
in the Michigander's ability to do good.
He said that as a stump-speaker he
had no superior, but he added, "YOu
ought to send some one along to watch
him. He is liable to get drunk, and if
he should do SO he might disgrace US. y
The other letter was addressed to the
Michigan man. In this Hill told him
that he had written to the state COM
mittee to invite him, and he expressed
the hope that he would come. But
when he directed the two envelopes he
put the letter for the state committee
in the envelope addressed to his Michi-
gan friend and the one intended for
the latter went to the state commit

The Storms Ravages at Cape Cod
From the Boston Traveller.

Engineer Nickerson is inspecting the
ravages made by the last storm in the
rear of the cape. In some places great
slices of the shore, from 200 to 800
feet long and thirty wide, have disap-
peared The work of the surf is most
apparent near peaked hills. When
the High Head Life Station was built,
two years ago, there was hill nearly
forty feet high intervening between it
and the sea. Now all has been leveled
by the wind and waves, and at high
water Thursday the station-house was
surrounded by water, and the fresh
water we'll filled with brine. South OF
the station a deep gully has been
washed away, necessitating an extra
half mile walk for the surfmen at New
comb Hollow. Wellfeet, where before
the storm a good roadway led down
to the surf, now intervenes a bluff If
teen feet high. While the beach line
has changed very much in the past
two years, it is estimated that be-
tween thirty and forty feet of the en-
tire beach has disappeared. In the
harbor, House Point Island, a great
resort of picnic parties, has disap-
peared entirely.

When You Wash Dishes.

In common dinner service 1T Is a
great evil to make the plates too hot,
as it invariably cracks the glaze on the
surface, if not the plate itself. We all
know the result-it comes apart; "no-
body broke it, cit was cracked be-
FORE or "cracked long time ago.
The fact IS, when the glaze is injured,
every time the "things" are washed
the water gets to the interior, swells
the porous clay and makes the whole
fabric rotten. In this condition they
will also absorb grease, and when ex-
posed to further heat the grease makes
the dish brown and discolored. If an
old, and ill-used dish be made very
hot indeed, fat will be seen to exude
from the minute assures upon its sur
face. These latter remarks apply
more particularly to common wares.
AS arule, warm water and a soft cloth
are all that are required to keep glass
in a good condition; but water bottles
and wine decanters, in order to keep
them bright, must be rinsed out with
a little muriatic acid commonly
known as spirits of salt) which is the
best agent for removing the 'fur'
which collects in them. This acid is
far better than ashes, sand or shot,
for ashes and sand scratch the glass,
and if any shot is left in by accident
it is poisonous. Richly cut glass must
be cleaned and polished with soft
brush, upon which a little fine chalk
or whiting is put; by this means the
luster or brilliancy are preserved
