Several Things Worth Knowing.

1t is said that salt should be eaten
with nuts to aid digestion. That milk
which stands too long makes bitter
butter. That rusty flatirons should be
rubbed over with beeswax or lard.
That it rests you in sewing to change
your position frequently. That a hot
strong lemonade taken at bedtime will
break up bad cold. That tough beef
is made tender by lying a few minutes
in vinegar water. That a little soda
will relieve sick headache caused by
indigestion. That cup of strong
coffee will remove the odor of onions
from the breath. That a cup of hot
water drank before meals will prevent
nausea and dyspepsia. That well-ven.
tilated bedrooms will prevent morning
headaches and lassitude. That one in
faint should be laid on the fiat of
his back then loosen his clothes and
let him alone. That tconsumptive night
sweats may be arrested by spongine
the body nightly in salt water. That
a fever patient can be made cool aud
comfortable by frequent sponging of
with soda water. That to beat eggs
quickly add pinch of salt. That the
hair may be kept from falling out afte,
illness by frequent application to the
scalp of sage tea. That you can take
out spots from wash goods by rubbing
them with the yolk OF eggs before
washing. The white spots upon var
nished furniture will disappear if you
hold hot plate over them. m.-Fan,ilg
Doctor.

New Dishes for the White House.

Probably one of the first things that
Mrs. Cleveland will do this Winter be-
fore the reception season is iuaugu-
rated will be to order a new dinner
service for the White House, and, in
fact, Haviland is engaged in making
up designs at present for this purpose.
II was this manufacturer who furnished
the Limoges ware set for Mrs Hayes,
and it has been made to do service un-
der three Administrations. Speaking
on this subject, an avenue merchant
stated that although the United States
Government paid but $4,000 for his
dinner service, it cost the manufactur-
ers nearly $4,000. The artist who
drew the designs charged $4,000 for
the work, and was paid before the de-
livery of the goods at the White
House. Subsequently the service was
duplicated by the manufacturers and
sold at $1,000 a set, but none of them
were ever sold in this city. When a
proposition was made to gentleman
here to buy one of these services he re-
Piled that as sure as he exposed it on
his dinner table people would say that
he had borrowed it from the White
House, and he did not ~ant that criti-
cism. The only difference between the
original and duplicates is the omission
from the latter of the name of the de-
signer. A new service is needed at
the White House, and something
unique and tasteful will undoubtedly
be selected by the new mistress of the
mansion.- Washington Critic.

Insulting Labor Organizations.

In recent issue of the Philadelphia
Press its editor says "The Democrat
ic State Committee and some Of the
Democratic candidates on the Demo
cratic State ticket are engaged in an
effort to make political use of the
knights of Labor organizations.
Considerable sums Of money have al
ready been paid hired agents engaged
in this work. Paid agents of
the Democratic State Committee may
continue the efforts begun several
weeks ago unl Ter the direction of the
chairman" sc.
We are authorized by Chairman
Hensel, of the Democratic State Com
mittee, TO say that this statement is a
naked lie, the invention of an un-
scrupulous editor, who hesitat,s at
nothing to serve his party, and from
whom every sort of impudent forgery
and malignant falsehood may be ex
pected from now until the end Of the
campaign.
No such effort as he charges has
been made ; no such agents have been
employed or engaged ; no money has
been paid or offered for such purpose,
and no such direction has been given
by the State chairman.
The entire story is a falsehood, made
from the whole cloth, and the editor Of
the Press, who is responsible for its
publication, is Charles Emory Smith
whom Chairman Cooper puts on the
stump to boost his "calamity ticket"

The Real Independents.

Tom Marshall, GLORIOUS old Tom,'
the Republican war-horse of Allegheny
county, says:
"An important demand of the times
is for courageous, earnest enforce
ment of the laws of the State, statutory
aud organic, especially affecting cor
porations. These live questions cannot
be throttled by yelling tariff, either in
Maine or Pennsylvania. The Cover
nor of the State has only one vote
and it does not depend on official pre-
rogative and has no significance on
the tariff more than that of tramp.
"The everlasting bugaboo of allow
ing the Democrats to elect the Cover
nor ought not to frighten grown-up
people. Will the warmest and most
enthusiastic friend of General Beaver
venture to claim that he is more hon
est, more wise or better mentally
equipped for the intelligent discharge
OF the high duties of craftsmanship in
cident TO Gubernatorial station than
Mr.. Black ? In many respects Mr..
Black is greatly the superior. He has
a far wider. knowledge of public affairs,
his mental gifts are more ripe and
thorough, and l firmly believe he is no
mans man.
"The only reason suggested why the
Independents should step into machine
harness and vote their own condemna-
tion is the danger of electing Demo
cratic Governor. The independents
assumed that risk once before and
am free TO say that the result has
more than sustained the wisdom of the
choice. A Democrat was elected and
the State still lives.
"The administration of Governor
Patiison has been wise,pure and honor
able. No personal scandals have
arisen no departure from an honest,
careful and watchful guardianship of
the interests of the State can be shown.
The Commonwealth will be fortunate
in securing an Executive AS clear and
free from private orpublic reproach as
Robert e. Pat,ison."
