all over the State, who are really in sympa-

look with doubt upon the success OF the
league, when month or more ago every

been made. The movement has worked as
all such moves do when Democratic bosses
get hold of the rudder. They invariably

Democratic rule when Republicans are the
only ones who have tried to help the cause,

Chinese league is very quiet just now for
the reason that it does not wish to get into
similar squabble.

TOO MANY PEOPLE.

One Of the main things that is producing
hard times all over this country is the immi-
grafton 10 our shores Of thousands OF for
eieners. In our eastern cities thousands OF
people are being kept on poor farms and
thousands Of others merely subsist by living
like dogs. Still, some people will tell you
that there is plenty of room here for all who
wish to come. 1t is not so. We would like
to ask where the room is, if there is any,
and where will it be twenty years from now
provided the rate of immigration keeps on
as heretofore. Another thing, note the class
OF people that are coming-Paupers. beg
ears, socialists and non.producers. Soon
the country will be in as bad condition as
Ireland, Not only Chinese immigration
should be stopped, but all foreign immgra-
lion. 1t is for the benefit of those foreign
ers already here as much as any body else
and therefore they should advocate such
measure. If steps are not taken in this di.
rection soon there will be trouble in the
United States before many years, and it will
be serious trouble too. 1t may seem cruel
10 say it, but war with Mexico over the
Cutting affair would be great thing Tor
this country for the reason that it would de-
crease the population considerably.

PLEASANT HOMES.

We read and hear great deal about
ant and attractive for the sons, so that
they may spend their evenings at home
rather than elsewhere. But we 90 not
hear so much said about the influence Of
a pleasant home upon the daughters. 1t
may be for the reason that girls are nat
urally more domestic than boys, and so it
is taken for granted that no great exer-
ton is necessary by father and mother TO
make the home pleasant for them,
think the influence of home has
just as much, and perhaps more, to do in
shaping the futures of the daughter, as
of the sone, for it is she who has the
more important part to perform in maxi
ing home for herself after she has left
the parental roof.
Now there is a great difference in the
ideas OF what constitutes a pleasant
home. Here, for instance, is a young
girl, surrounded by all the Injuries and
privileges which money can procure.
She has servants to come and go at her
bidding. She has no care put upon her
young shoulders; she is taught to play,
sing, paint and embroider. To be sure,
she does nothing for the pleasure and
happiness of those around her, but what
of that? She is accomplished, and is not
that enough?
When she is of suitable age she makes
her debut in society. Then, of course,
her time is occupied with all the pleas
ures which society gives. Thus she grows
into womanhood. Is this true woman
hood? Is she now prepared to fight the
battles of life and win the victor's crown?
If adversely comes to her, and it is liable
to come to us all, will she be prepared to
meet it as she should? Alb, no! 1t would
be far better il she had been taught more
of self-reliance and self-culture.
Put some care upon your daughter. It
will do her no harm. It will make her
feel that there is some responsibility rest
ing upon her. Teach her that character
is higher than intellect, and that by prac-
ticing little self denial once in while
she will not only make others happy, but
will increase her own happiness, and will
become less selfish. Teach her to work.
Let me not be understood as being op.
posed to the higher accomplishments. /
am not opposed to them, but do not think
they should be taught to the detriment
of the more useful once.
Nuke companion of your daughter.
Teach her to entertain as we'll as to be
entertained. In this way she will be
made to think that she is really of some
Importance in the household Home

KISSING BABIES.

Kissing babies is most reprehensible
practice, thoughtless and selfish in the
extreme. 1t is great temptation to peo-
pie fond of children. A clean, sweet
baby is SO much like rosebud that il is
the most natural thing in the world to
put your face down to it. But baby is
not a rosebud. except that its life may be
as brief, unless all sentimental selfshness
is overcome. The skin and all the tissues
are SO sensitive that poisons are absorbed
more readily in babyhood than at any
other time. What is slight sore throat
in an adult may become diphtheria in an
infant through the medium Of kiss.
Countless slight ailments in grown peo-
pie can be transmitted ia this way, and
grow into maladies that threaten the
child's life. Let it be thoroughly under
stood by relatives and friends that young
children are not to be kissed by them I'M
der any circumstances whatever. This
will doubtless give offense, as many sare
more about their own personal pleasure
than the present and future of the chill
dren in whom they take passing inter-
est. A mother who exacts right condi-
tions of living for her child is bound to
give offense, especially here in America.
where the science of childhood is just be-
ginning to be understood. Let her bear
it as best she may, consoling herself with
the thought that an offended friend or
relative is of infinitely less Importance
than the loss of child, or the loss of
child's health. 1t requires great force of
character to bring up family. As Mr..
Lincoln said about being President, eff

A ROYAL, BED.

The bedchamber of the late King Lud-
wig at Herrenchiemsee, is lofty room
with three windows above end below,
the upper being draped with crimson
silk, that throws magic light upon the
masses of gold distributed over this regal
apartment. 1t is divided into two parts
by means Of q golden balustrade, the
back part being rounded. Here the
which lead five broad steps, covered with
ruby velvet, on which are embroidered
large golden Guns. The bed is of gilt
bronze, work OF art as we meet it once
in a lifetime. 1t is covered with counter
pane of gold cloth, embroidered in colors,
the center representing King Louis XIV.
without his wig, a large emerald on his
breast, and a sapphire in his hair. The
bed is surmounted by canopy Of gold,
with high crown of gold in the center
and four enormous punches of white
plumes at the four corners; from the
canopy descend the curtains, to examine
which, lover of art will devote several
weeks. The outside is ruby velvet EN-
broidered in gold, so that of the ground
color scarcely anything is seen; the in
side is covered from top to bottom by
pictures from the Bible, at first sight
the product of the miniature painters
brush, but on close inspection, the tri-
umph of the needlewoman's skill. The
center Of the background is occupied by
a sun embroidered in diamonds and
pearls; and when I heard that the king
never once used this bedroom, was led
to believe that he expected visit from
the Roi Soleil himself, and hoped to as
tonish even his magnificent majesty. The
walls of this room are entirely hung with
red velvet embroidered with gold, the
children holding garlands of flowers be-
ing so solid that real baby held to the
wall cannot stand out from it mores bold
ly than do these works of the needle.
The velvet hangings on the walls are
parted in several places to admit paint
ings framed in rich arabesques, which
form frieze surrounding the painting
on the ceiling, splendid mass of beauti-
full forms and beautiful colors-Helios
driving the sun, and the hours dancing
around him.

ANCIENT RIPON.

Ancient and most picturesque Ripon is
to celebrate toward the end OF this month,
its millenary Of civil life. The festive
proceedings are to be spread over three
days, and will include such doings as a
solemn service at the cathed ral, mass
meeting in the market place, and old
fashioned English rustic games and pas
times in the magnificent grounds of
Fountains Abbey, at Studley, the seat of
Lord Ripon. A most interesting feature
Of the latter part of the programme will
undoubtedly be an open air play specially
written for the occasion, and founded on
the legend OF "The Encounter between
Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar," which
is to be enacted on the traditional spot
near the abbey. The occasion will as
suredly draw visitors in large numbers to
this most attractive and venerable Dor
ough, created as long ago as the year 1856,
by Alfred the Great. II is worth seeing,
were it for nothing more than for its fine
old cathedral, dating from 1880, and
Boosting of nearly every style of archi-
lecture, besides being renowned as one
of the best proportional churches in En-
gland. But in addition memories cluster
round Ripon rendering it of exceptional
interest to the student of history. 1t was
Ripon that Bruce laid waste by sword and
fire on two different occasions. 1t was
Ripon that King Henry ~. chose as
convenient retreat when the plague ragged
in London during his reign, and it was at
Ripon that the Scots negotiated for peace
in 1860, on behalf of the ill-starred mon
arch, Charles /. 1t was from Ripon,
moreover, that the best spurs came, Civ
ing rise TO the quaint old proverb denot-
ing courage and honesty, AS true steel
as Ripon rowelis."

THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND.

1t seems that Mrs. Cleveland is taking
the lead in Washington's charities as
we'll as in it's society. Since she came
here she has performed many private acts
OF benevolence and contributed literally
toward the flower mission and other char
liable organizations. Now she proposes
to organize society of ladies in official
circles for the purpose of raising funds
to send the poor children Of this city to
the seashore as often as possible during
the heated term. There is.already So
ciety here which has for its object to give
the little ones week or two in the coun-
try, but there has been little vigor in the
movement, and as a consequence very
few children can get breath of fresh air
through its efforts. Mrs. Cleveland is
going into the work heartily, writes q
correspondent Of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
SO that by the time che leaves town the
organization will be on firm basis, with
funds enough in the treasury to at least
set the project in motion. Many people
think that Washington, with its wide sv-
enues, abundance of trees and comforta-
BILE looking dwellings, has no nests of
poverty and sickness such as are found
in large cities. Mrs. Cleveland has found
ont differently in her long drives, and
she is determined to use her position as
we'll as her private resources to help the
little sufferers who have been born and
reared in alleys without ever having seen
perhaps a blade of erase. She has al
ready conferred with several of the Cab.
met ladies and other leaders in society
and has found them enthusiastically in
favor of the project. A meeting will be
held soon at which steps will be taken
toward an immediate organization. Funds
will not be slow in forthcoming. -Neae

GETTING RID OF DIRT.

One OF the easy ways of getting rid of
dirt is cot to invite it TO come in. How?
By not having any wooden carpets, espe-
cially those that have a cotton or linen
back like Brussels or tapestry carpets.
There being no way for the dirt, to sift
through on to the paper or floor below, il
is constantly flying up when disturbed.
Athree-ply carpet is good thing to catch
the dirt, as it gets into the middle ply
and it is almost impossible to sweep, or
beat it out. Two ply are easier to keep
clean, but why have any? What would
you have bare floors? Not just that. |
would compromise. Have less carpets
and more rugs, that can be taken up
weekly, put ON the line out of doors and
beaten. The "Art Squares" as they are
called, furnish carpet good enough for
most people. They come in good quality
light or heavy, small or large sizes, and
fitting different sized rooms, woven in
quite tasteful colors with borders and
fringes. What can be prettier, or easier
kept clean? In carpeting a floor the first
thing to be considered is the floor itself.
II your floor is slightly uneven anywhere,
and there is nothing to prevent, whatev-
or kind OF carpet you have is sure to wear

CARE OE THE HANDS.

There are not nearly as many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine. A
little ammonia or borax in the water you
wash your hands with, and that water just
lukewarm, will keep the skin clean and
soft. A little oatmeal mixed with the
water will whiten the hands. Many peo-
pie use glycerine ON their hands when
they go to bed, wearing gloves to keep
the bedding clean, but glycerine does not
agree with every one. 1t makes some
skins harsh and red. These people
should rub their hands with dry oatmeal
and wear gloves in bed. The best prep
aration for the hands at night is white of
egg with grain of alum dissolved in it.
Quacks have fancy name for it; but all
can make it and spread it over their
hands and the job is done. They also
make the Roman toilet paste. 1t is mere

They say it was used by the Romans in
olden time. Anyway it is tirst-rate
thing; but it is sticky sort of stuff to
use, and does not do the work any bet.
ter than oatmeal. The toughest and
hardest hands can be made soft and
white in months time by doctoring
them little at bed time, and all the
tools you need are nail brush, and
bottle of ammonia, box of powdered
borax, and little fine white sand to rub
the stains off, or cut of lemon, which will
dc even better, for the acid of the lemon
will clean anything. Scientific Anaeri-

HOME HAPPINESS.

Probably nineteen tweptieths Of the
happiness you will ever have you will get
at home. The independence that comes
TO man when his work is over, and he
feels that he has run out of the storm
into the quiet harbor of home, where be
can rest in peace with his family, is some
thing real. 1t does not make much diff
ference whether you own your house or
have one little room in that house, you
cen make that one little room a true
home to you. You can people it with
such moods, you can turn to it with such
sweet fanciee, that it will be fairly lumin-
GUS with their presence, and will be you
the very perfection OF home. Against
this home none of you should ever trans
gress. You should always treat each
other with courtesy. 1t is often not go
difficult to love person as it is to be
courteous to him. Courtesy is of greater
value and more royal grace than some
people seem to think. If You will but be
courteous to each other you will soon
learn to love each other more wisely, pro-
foundry, not to say lsstingly, than you
ever did before.
