 An Editor on Coffee.

From the Montgomery (N. Y} Standard. 'i' The editor of this paper, who was brought up as girl to do ohousework, knows as much about that mysterious branch of business as the mixing of a batch of gdouble-extra7condens

 brows could secure ag frst-class situation as a

 the arts as practised in the kitchen he of
 ten wondered at the unmethodical manner
 in which every housewife conducts her busi-
 nessa ESshe goes through her work gear af- ter year and never knows what 8 pie, cake,
 loafyof bread or dinner costs This is not the way we should conduct the business.
 Perhaps not one out of thousand even know. whatqa cup of coffee is worth. A good many travellers at railroad restaurants know, what it costs them, but the cost to pro duee it is another thing. It. costs just one third fofa a. cent for a=Ic9ps of. coffee mot counting the sugar and milk. Supposing Eeyen the milk was worth the same price as the coffee and the sugar the same. cup of coffee would not yet cost the magnificent sum of one 15snnyis The priee paid for one cup such as is sold in nlanyFcheap restaurants would purchase g gallon Half pound of coffee will make thirty two cups of good cof- fee.

Was it sDotheboys Eaails,,

H. S. Lloyd, an old actor, is contributing a series of autobiographical sketches 10 the Glasgow Evening Times. At the age of six years he was sent to Yorkshire school, which he identifies with Dickens Dotheboys
 Hall Concerning the school and it's master he makes some astonishing statements, and his assertions regarding the original of Squeers should be taken with grain of salt.
 sfBut what was the school itself Gkes and how about poor Smikes? it may be asked.
 We'll, can answer as to that and maintain the truth Of every word I write. It was Q
 fine, large establishment with every accom-
 modation required It was in lovely situa-
 tion, surrounded by beautiful garden. the
 beck running past at the foot of the hill and the romantic ruin of Bowes Castle within 8 hundred yards of the house, just outside the
 garden wall. The interior of the house was kept scrupulously clean twelve female ser wants at least being employed. The food was excellent and as much as you could eat; the boys we'll clad-shoemakers and tailors on the premises-for be 1t known that the boys were clothed as we'll as boarded and ed- ucated and all, if my memory be correct, for some twenty pounds year. No such thing as Smike was to be seen here, and there was less punishment for inattention than in any other school ever attended. Save in the way of kindness never except once knew Mir. Shaw to lift his hand to boy the whole time I was there. He would walk ronnd the school room, look over us while
 writing and here and there pat a boy on the head, saying, Good boy-good. boy; you'1 I
 be great man some day if you pay atten- ton to your lessons .'i If a lad was ill he
 would sit by his bedside and play the flute on which he was an adept-for an hour or two together to amuse him. And this was the man whom Dickens transformed into th ( illiterate, ty1annical, brutal pedagogue Squeersl I remember, however, another school in the neighborhood of the type de- scribedn by Dickens. There indeed you might have found many Smike. Boys in rags, haif-starved and otherwise cruelty used and taught scarcely anything except hay
 making, carting manure and kindred depart ments of industry. They were continually running away and almost as regularly y caught, brought back and frightfully pun ished. Schools like this there were in York shire which deserved all the exposure they got. But as it so happened that none of .thsm at the time had head-master -sufh- eciently outre, or striking in appearance to make a good character of poor William Shaw, who had misfortune to be peculiar both in person aud manners, was transferred from the headship of his own happy estab- lishment and made the Squeers aef sDothe- boys Hall,' Yorkshire. It broke his heart. "

There is charming little Henri II. man tie of jet-bead tissue. with long waist, fin ished under deeply peaked jet belt; open sleeves with bead fringe.
 Sunshades are worn large, of either plain or embroidered silk, with handles of carved olive or orange wood, ornamented with 8 large bow of ribbon.
 Embroidered crepe lisse is among the fa- vorite millinery materials of the season, and is shown in all over goods for crowns and as edging for trimming or strings. English crape in all colors is also very desirable. It is particularly suited for trimming fine
 straws and Neapolitans.
 Black tulle embroidered with sprigs of
 light blossoms is fashionable, not only in
 millinery, but also for evening toilets. One
 of the prettiest styles is black tulle, with
 sprigs of the bead-llke yellow flower of the
 mimosa. Pretty capotes are made of it and
 trimmed with sprays of the same blossoms.
 Round hats follow out the promise of an early part of the season. There are Tuscan
 and plain braids combined and plain, fine
 Milan braids showing rows of rough straw.
 English turbans are popular, and high crowned hats with brims rolling up at one
 side or in front are among the favorite styles. The new silk mulls have stripes of messy looking frise that are very pretty. in combi- nation with the thin foundation fabric. 9th CT goods of this sort have stripes of satin and openwork like revering. Yet others
 have an over pattern resembling netted che nile, the heavy spots, where there is the ap- pearance of knots, being made of thick plush.
 Egyptian and Oriental founcings are ir excellent demand for summer dressy ovel white or with colored fabrics. All plair silks and those with broeaded or printed fig ures are combined with these laces ol 1 trimmed with them, and they are the pre- ferred garniture for satincs, cambrics, ba | tistes and the entire range of fine cotton anC silk fabrics.

Socialism and she Knights


 Throughout the ten resolutions unanimous
 ly adopted by the convention Of Knights of
 Labor the dominant idea is that the govern ment can better the condition of it's citizens by assuming control, in greater or smaller degree, of the instruments of production.
 That, as everybody knows, is socialism, pure and simple. The idea crops out in varied forms. It shows itself in the attitude taken
 on the land question. Some of the de- mands in the matter are wholly unobjection- able, but rather lose their force when it is rernemb bered that they are already complied with. They ask Congress, for example, "that all lands owned by individuals or corpora tions in excess of 160 acres not nnder cul- tivation shall be taxed to their full valus, the same as cultivated lands" Now, as Q matter of fact, the United States govern
 ment levies no tax on any land whatever, and the States and territories, without ex- ception, tax all lands, whether in excess of 8 quarter section or not, the same culti
 vated lands No instruction is needed from the Knights in this regard, ane they surely have enough to do without proposing laws already passed But the real theory which they are apparently coming tS hold as to the system of land tenure is to be best seen in the proposal that after 1890 the government shall take possession of the land now owned
 by foreigners, and hold it, for longer or shorter time, in trust for the people. Is not that concession to the claims of Henry
 George? Here and elsewhere in their plat form the real animus of their demands is a belief-though as yet an ill defined belief that the enrichment of owners of property by what the economists call the 'tunearned increment" is in direct violation of the rights of the workingmen. This guIearned incre
 ment is the increased value given to land
 by the operation of eauses sosher than the labor of the owner. In other words, then, the Knights seem to claim that the profit which comes to man from holding 8 piece of land until railroad is built through lit and a city springs up near hss resultsss to quote their own words, in ssimpoyerishing the farmer, mechanic and faborer." Nov, whatever differences of opinion may exist among theorists as to this unearnsds inere- ment, the socialists, at leest,3 are generally agreed that it should be taken away from the owner of the property, which increased in value without labor on his part, and De dis tributed among those who dc not own it. It is not to be supposed that the Knights are yet prepared to accept such views Co the full | but that the trend of, thought smengs them is toward suck aeceptation is plainly diseerni- ble in the general tenor of their plat form.

 The inventor of dish-washing machine 1 for hotels and restaurants has ap- some fine promises for his invention. The interesting machine is thus described 1t is long trough, devided into three com partments On one end is an l. and the other end, the front, is set Of valves. A man stands at the front end and pulls a
 handle. That fills the compartment farthest away with scalding hot water, which is afterward kept hot by steam. When the compartment is full it runs over into the middle trough, and that in turn into the first space, directly in front of the operator. Soap is added to the water in that compart- ment. In this space 8 set of brushes revolve in the water and they are set with springs, like clothes wringer, to let large and small dishes pass between them. A wide canvas belt with slats across it runs the whole length of the machine under water. If dishes are put between the revolving brushes they are secured with soapsuds, dumped on the belt, carried into the second bath and rinsed off and finally dumped into the clear hot water in the third compartment. Out of that the belt delivers them into the l., where they dry of their own heat It is claimed that the machine will wash $500 pieces in all hour without breaking or clipping dish. If it will do what is claimed for it it is indeed great invention

THE CONVICT LABOR QUESTION. The convict labor question is now agitat- ing Massachusetts. As it is an important question everywhere it will be instructive to see how the Massachusetts legislature deals with it. The committee has agreed upon a bill to abolish all contract labor in the State prison, the reformatories and the houses of correction. A new office, that of general superintendent of prisons, is created, and the incumbent, with the warden or keeper of the respective institutions, is to decide what employment shall be given to the inmates of the prisons, and to establish the rules under which it is to be carried on. All tools and implements are to be purchased by the war den under the direction of the general super intendent. A remarkable provision in the bill is this: "But nothing herein contained shall be construed as allowing the use of machinery by other than hand power." Not over hundred prisoners can be employed in single industry at the same time in any in stitution, and the number in any one indus try shall not exceed ne-twentieth of those similarly engaged in the State outside. The articles to be manufactured are to be, ftas far as may be x such articles as are in common use in the several State and coun-
 ty institutions" Existing contracts, which
 may be terminated by notice, must be ter
 minated by giving the notice within one
 month of the passage of the act.
 It is probable that this bill, or something
 like it, will pass. There is in Massachusetts,
 as in several other States, great deal of op-
 position to the employment of convicts by
 contractors. This opposition is not, accord
 ing to those who most thoroughly under
 stand he subject, we'll founded. Much has
 been written to show the groundlessness of
 the fears of material competition and to
 prove the bad financial policy of refusing to
 let the labor of convicts ont to contractors.
 The Worcester Spy, which heartily opposes
 the bill, has something to say which is worth
 attention, as follows: The rational view of
 the case is that the more the prisoners pro- duce the less is the burden of their support
 upon the State. It is this fact which makes ridiculous the provision of the bill against
 machine labor. The argument seems to be
 that labor, not productive labor, is the thing
 to be desired. If this were true, it would
 be best to make the convicts carry stones across room and then carry them back again all day long, or to perform some other laborious and non-productive task. That
 would keep the convicts busy and prevent them from coming into competition with out side labor. Perhaps this State will not be
 satisfied until it has abolished the contract
 system, but it will have to pay the cost of supporting the convicts in idleness or in in
 dustries which yield only small return.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with ScrofuIa in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of ". J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully lesS.'
