Etinuette orthe Pantry.

The mistress should lend her co-opera-
ton TO the task of making the pantry
look attractive. Papers should be sup
piled for the shelves, either plain white
or gayly colored cut borders that come
for the purpose. The latter show DIRT
less than the white, and are not costly.
An excellent plan Is 10 cover the shelves
with white marbled olcloth, tackled on
neatly. that the edges may not curl.
This can be wiped OF with damp cloth
At less expenditure Of time and labor
than would be required to scrub the
bare shelves. The bright papers may
still be used along the edges.
1t is not enough simply to keep the
pantry looking nest; it will need to be
overhaHled every week, and each article
wiped inside and out, as well as the
shelves on which they stand. The tins
should be frightened once in a while.
and the stone china and pressed glasses
in use here should be kept as clean and
bright as the finer ware in the dining
room. Added diligence must be prac-
tised in hot weather, when fl es abound
No cooking utensil should then be used
without having first been rinsed out. No
pots or pans must ever be put away after
washing without taking care that the
inside is perfectly dry. Rust gathers
quickly, and is not readily removed.
While the cook should be supplied
with a sufficient number Of dishcloths,
mopcloths and towels. il is not wise to be
too lavish in this respect. Profuseness
on the part of the mistress breeds ex-
trayagance in the maid EASY come,
easy 60" The towels are made TO duty
as iron holders, to open oven doors, to
scrub the floors, or TO scour out the sink.
There should be cloths provided Tor all
these Offices, and the towels preserved
for their own especial use They should
be washed out daily, and when greasy
should be thrown into hot water strong
with borax or household ammonia. At
least once a week they should have a
hard rubbing and be boiled, nor should
any opportunity be neglected to give
them bleaching, either on the snow or
on the grass There is no reason why
they should become the stained malo-
dorous rags into which they are quickly
even in otherwise well
regulated kitchens.-St. Louis Sayiugs.

To Keep a Bouquet orFIowers Fresh.

A queer way to keep a bouquet of
flowers fresh, but very striking and
effective one, is thus described: In a
vessel Of water place plate, and on this
stan bouquet Of flowers, weighted at
the bottom, so as to stand upright. This
being done, the bouquet is covered with
bell glass, the rim Of which ought to
fit exactly the fat part Of the plate; the
bell glass should be entirely filed with
water and without the least air bubble.
Then raise ell together, bell glass, plate
and bouquet, and place on a table, leav-
ing on plate around the base Of the bell
glass little water to Keep the air from
entering. The flowers in this situation
will be preserved in all their freshness
for several weeks and their beauty is in
creased by great number of bubbles of
gas produced by the respiration OF the
leaves, and which attach themselves to
the leaves, looking like pearls. The edge
Of the plate and the water that it con-
tains should be concealed by light bed
Of moss, in which are some flowers. A
bouquet thus arranged produces
charming effect, especially in the even
ing God 10 lsekeepfng.

The Deer Creek and Susquehanna Rail-
road

Public interest along the route of the pro-
posed new railroad from the Susquehanna
river to Bel Air has been greatly stimulated
and excited by the recent concentrations of
righls-of-way which were accomplished dur
ing the past and present week. Enough has
been developed thus far in this direction, to
show that the enterprise need not be failure
on account OF any excess of damages award.
ed to property owners, whose lands are to
be occupied by the road. AS rule the dam
ages have been moderate in amount, and in
the majority of cases were arrived at by com.
promise between the railroad officials and
the other parties interested, thereby making
the settlements finallty and obviating the
danger OF further expense and litigation.
And now comes the important question
"Will the road bo built ?" Surely at the
amount fixed, as sufficient to ensure its build
ing, together with the fact that such amount
has already been subscribed to within a small
fraction OF the whole, this question ought to
be unhesitatingly answered in the affirmative.
The road will benefit landowners along its
entire route OF large means, who are direct
ly interested, because it will greatly enhance
the values of their respective properties.
Have they sufficient enterprise to make it a
success? We believe they have, because it is
apparent to these citizens, as well as to the
citizens ola large scope of the county not so
peculiarly situated, but who would neverthe-
less be indirectly also largely benefited that if
the enterprise fails at this time it will be
many years, probably, before it can be sue
cessfully revived. Every thing points to the
Importance of pushing it through at the pre-
sent time. Farmers ofDeer Creek and all
Others interested, see to it that the road is
built.

No October Elections.

The Ne10 York Sun calls attention to the
fact that there are no October elections this
year in advance of the Presidential contest
Heretofore, as our readers will recollect, a
great deal ofinterest centered in these prelim-
mary State contests, notably in the case of
Ohio. 1t is an excellent feature that the
change has been made, so that all elections
this year Immediately preceding the Presi-
dental one, are done away with. The Sun
says:
"lhe Presidential campaign of 1888 has lie
novelty in the absence OF preliminary State
elections. The result will be determined by
the voting of Nov. G. In all previous Presi-
dental campaigns the current of public SEN
timent has been, in great measure, foreshad,
owed by the preliminary State elections in
October, which gave to doubtful and hesitat.
ing voters trustworthy indications OF the
probable result.
The effect of the change will be to enhance
and deepen the political Importance of the
three doubtful Eastern States of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and to make
independently potent their decision in a ma
tiOnal contest"

There are about 1900 colored voters in

nearly all of them voted for Blaine and Lo.
gan, but it is safe TO estimate that half of
them will vote the Democratic ticket this
fall During the previous campaigns, the
Republican leaders scared them, making
them believe that if the Democratic party
got in power they would become slaves That
