Neatness Indispensable.

A woman may be handsome or re- markedly attractive in various ways, but if she is not personally neat she can not hope to win admiration. Fine clothes will not conceal the slattern. A young woman with her hair always in disorder, and her clothes hanging about her as if suspended from prop, is al- ways repulsive "Slattern" is written on her person from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet, and if she wins husband he will in all probability turn out an idle fool or a drunken ruff fan. The bringing up of daughters to be able to work, act and talk like honest, sensible young women, is the especial task of all mothers, and in the indus trial ranks there is imposed also the prime obligation of learning how to re- spect household work for its own sake, and the comfort and happiness it will bring in the future. House-work is drudgery, but it must be done by some- body, and had better be well than i'll done.-EGclIGnge

A Year-Old ConversatiOnalist Whose Flow
 of Language Is Simply Marvellous.
 Many infants talk at a surprisingly early age. Instances have been known of babies yet in their swaddling clothes who could discourse on all manner of topics. To be sure, the drift of their remarks had to be interpreted by fond mother, but no one would dare to say that baby didn't talk.
 myself heard year-old child say a great many things one day recently. I was calling on friend whose baby was just year old.
 '.Can he talk any yet?'' I asked.
 ''Talkr' exclaimed the fond mother, with an injured look. T should think so! He can just say everything. Can't you, ducksy daddle?"
 ''Boo, boa, bee, yee, va" screeched baby, growing black in the face with the effort
 '.Hear him!'' cried the fond mother. He said: I guess can talk. ,"
 The information surprised me a little, but I discreetly held my peace.
 ''Now, tell the gentleman your name,' says baby's mamma, coaxingly.
 ''Boo, hoo, da, da, boo"
 "Charles Edgar Jones, just as plain as anything could say it, you little sweet!n cries the triumphant mother
 My surprise increased.
 ''Now tell mamma who you like best in all the world"
 ssROO baa bee da dar'
 ''How cunningr' I exclaim. "'Da da' means papa, don't it?"
 ''Mercy, no! Didn't you hear the little blessing say as plain as could be that he liked the gentleman bestP' He means yOur'
 I am fattered, of course, and amazed at my own stupidity. I thought was familiar with the Kings English, :" but the English of this little King is new to me.
 'Now say Sing song O sixpence,' for the gentleman.
 ''Yee, yee, boo, boo, baa!' splutters baby.
 ''No, no, deary," says mamma, re- provingly; that's Little Bo Peep Now say the other.'
 Boo, boo, bee, ya, yGr'
 That's it! That's it, you blessed old pretty boy! I bneU you could say it. And to think the gentleman asked if you could talk any yet! I guess he won't ask it again.
 I guess, too, that 1 won't. Either that baby or I can not speak the English language in its purity, and 1 am averse to displaying my possible ignorance Toledo Bidde.

COLTS IN WINTER.
How They Should Be Fed, Cared For and
 Trained.

How They Should Be Fed, Cared For and
 Trained.
 It is necessary in order to have colt grow into well-developed horse that special pains should be taken to have him kept thriving during his first winter. If foaled late in the season, he should have an extra ration in case the mare's milk is not sufficient to keep him in good flesh. Skinned milk will answer for this, and little oatmeal or cotton seed meal should be mixed with it, the amount to be given depending on the age and size of the colt. From a pint to quart of meal will be sufficient for a colt six months old, according to his size, colts of the heavy draft breeds requiring more than those of smaller frame. Oats, too, may be provided for colts, from one to four quarts per day, the amount depending, as in the case of the meal, on the size and development of the colt. One or two quarts of bran per day will be found a good additional ration, which will maintain a healthy condition of the bowels, and keep them free from worms. The colt should have clean, comfortable quarters, with dry yard in which to exercise, and, when it can be so arranged, the stable should open into the yard, so the colt may pass out and in at will, except in stormy or very cold weather, when the door should be kept closed. During the winter is a favorable time to handle the colt, teach ing him to lead quietly, if he has not al- ready learned this, and by occasionally placing harness on him, accustom him to wearing it.-Natto'aal LtUe Stock JouTnGI.

Coal is one Of the protected articles.
The anthracite coal mines Of Pcnnsyl-
yania are owned and controlled by a
few wealthy individuals. They had
influence enough with Congress to get
Nova Scotia coal taxed so as to give
themselves the whole country to oper-
ate in without fear Of opposition.
Coal is an article Of prime necessity,
used by every family, the rich and the
poor alike and tax upon such an ar
ticle is as iniquitous as tax upon
bread and worse than the old French
tax upon salt.
But these rich mine operators have
persuaded the miners and other work
ing people that the duty on coal is in
their interest to prevent them from
coming in competition with cheap
foreign labor. But let us see how it
works. In order to produce an arti
fetal scarcity of coal and so put up
the prices to any point they may think
proper, the mines are closed for one
third of each year and thus 100000
workmen are kept in idleness, 1t is
gratifying to note that there is a
movement in Pennsylvania to test the
validity Of this conspiracy.-W0A.

The following from the Hagerstown
Nal is equally as applicable to this
as 10 the Sixth Congressional District ::
democrats must remember that
now is not the time TO palter with
their principles or tritie with their
party allegiance. The next House
Of Representatives shares in the re-
sponsibilIty of counting the vote for
President. The vote may be as close
az it was in 1876. No one can tell
what events are before us. If both
the Senate and the House are Re-
publican the count may be an easy
matter and the Republican candidate
seated. Congress has SO far neglected
to make any provision for counting
the vote, and there appears now to be
no probability of any being made, so
that the whole thing remains open
and for both Houses at the time to
determine.
Therefore, how important it Is for
Democrats to hold their power in
that House. This can be infallably
done if Democrats will vote for their
candidates. Ii not, the House will be
LOST. There is great doubt whether
under the most favorable auspices
the Democrats can hold their present
majority in the House. The indica-
tions now are that it will be Very
close, and therefore the supreme im-
portance of every Democrat in the
District making every effort to
win. 1t should be represented
by a Democrat; it is naturally a
Democratic District, and with hearty
and united action can be represented
by Democrat. There is no time to
waste; the canvass is upon US; our
opponents are busy and will spare no
efforts to secure success. Let, there
fore, every Democrat be on the alert
in this contest there can be no COM
promises or trades. The ballot of the
voter must be either wholly Demo
cratic or wholly Republican. There
but two candidates to be voted for
one Democrat-his opponent Re-
publican. Every sincere and earnest
Democrat must see the force of this
and will make his action accord.

She was accompanied by her friend
Mrs. Cadman, of Buffalo, who will be

was driven direct to the White House.

Now that the time of the elections
IN the various states is close at hand
the question that most perpiexes the
minds of the clerks in the Government
Departments is as TO how to cast their
votes without giving offence. The
Republican clerks are especially agi-
tated, as while their friends are urging
the necessity Of their going home to
vote, they fear that by so doing they
would be likely to lose their places.
Many Of the clerks who have not
taken their vacations are nov apply
ing for their leave, and to conceal the
fact that they have gone to their homes.
clerks have in many instances exchang-
ed railroad tickets with clerks from
other states, and have shown these
tickets as evidence Of their going simp-
ly upon a vacation, after which the
tickets are returned to their rightful
owners.
A great deal of fault is found BY the
Washington banks on account OF the
recent order directing that the new
silver certificates should be distribut-
from the sub-treasury in New York
City. They complain that it is an ex-
traordinary business regulation which
requires them to ship silver to New
York. and pay charges upon return
packages, when it would have been
much more convenient for them to
have deposited the silver at the Treas,
ury in Washington. There are over
twenty eight hundred national banks
in the country, and as each of the
banks will be supplied with 1000 Of
the new one dollar certificates, before
outside orders will receive attention,
it will necessarily be sometime before
the bills will enter into general circu-
lation.
The Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury has called upon the Attorney
General for an opinion as to whether
the oleomargarine law imposes
tax on the different ingredients used
in the manufacture of oleomarsarinp,
and also a tax Oh the article when
finished, or whether the law cortem-
plates tax upon the finished article
only. The decision Of this question
will make a great difference one way
or the other to persons dealing in
Oleomargarine. The new stamps are
about ready for shipment to the col
lectors. The wholesale and retail
stamps contain a vignette of the
Treasury Building. the tax paid stamp

standing near L. S. shield, and the
export stamp a vignette of large
