Little Helps.

1t is the little things that go to
make Homework easier, is it not, dear
Old Homestead sisters A moment
or two saved here and there, at this
or that, help us to do many things
that would remain undone did we not
manage to save the time for them.
And it is the little ''short cuts, as our
editor so aptly terms the little helps
for saving time and work that aid us
in this May l tell you of some things
that l have learned? Although many
may already profit by them, all may
not. How many of you know that
pinch of salt is great improvement
to apple sauce? / learned that long
ago, but it was not until last fall [
found out that u piece of butter i'll
apple sauce, as well as pies, makes it
much nicer and saves sugar Sour or
buttermilk is much better than sweet
milk for many uses, but city house
keepers cannot always obtain it. If
they will make batter of milk-warm
water and flour, adding, if wanted es-
pecially good, tablespoonful of but
ter to pint of the mixture, and let it
sour, putting in more as wanted to
keep the jar supplied, they will have
nice mixing" and very good sub
stitute for buttermilk. Let me tell
you how | wash new potatoes; / put
them in pail, pour cold water over
them, let stand q few minutes, then
take an old, stubby broom and work
it up and down just as you would a
churn dash. In very short time the
potatoes will be clean, needing only
washing or rinsing in clean water. To
keep your salt from clogging in the
shakers and refusing to sift no matter
how hard one shakes, mix with seven
teaspoonfuls Of salt one Of corn starch.
The amount of starch used is so. small
that it is not noticed, but it absorbs
the moisture so that the salt does not
lump or $log. A nice and easy way
TO cream windows is to moisten a small
rag in kerosene and wipe over the
glass; then rub with old, soft paper
and finish with tissue paper, which
gives a nice polish without the slop
ping of water.

1t is often convenience to have a
window Frosted" and the work is
simple enough. Rub putty over per
fectly clean glass in smooth lines, and
when dry varnish the glass. Tie up
the putty in thin cotton cloth; cheese
cloth is about the right texture.

Morris tribune., 1889-07-03

The Hayes administration was the
first one to inaugurate the temperance
rule at the White House, and that was
owing to the strict teetotal principles of
Mrs. Hayes. It was not believed that
the rule could be enforced, but the quiet,
gracious frmness of Mrs. Hayes carried
it through. Even those who laughed at
her respected her frmness. Not till after
her death was it generally known that
she was one of the founders Of the Sol
diers and Sailors Orphans home in
Ohio, or that she took such active part in
many good works. The soldiers in her
husbands command during the war re-
garded her with little short Of venera-
ton, and she was made an honorary
member of the Society of the Army Of
West Virginia. As hostess at the White
House few have been more successful or
more sincerely liked than she was. Her
commanding height, dark hair and eyes
and fresh complexion gave her hand
some, striking presence, while her gen.
tie, cordial manners won all hearts.

The DIS.

Here they are with us again, the an
nual crop of them, particularly the LII
DIS and the D. DIS. Every year they
are created by the dozen. It is safe to
say that now the north has more doctors
of laws and doctors of divinity than the
south has colonies and judges. Between
the two honors are easy. The titles are
becomi1 : :o cheap that anybody can Sc
cure them, except perhaps women. To
their credit be it said that as yet there Is
only one female IL. DIR. Amelia B.
Edwards-and no female doctor of divin-
ity at all
Charles Dickens refused to be knighted
by the queen of England. Henry Ward
Beecher refused the title of doctor of
divinity. Possibly he thought he was
not good enough for it. Titles cannot
make large men any greater, neither can
they make small men great; and this is
a reflection to be commended to our
American nickel-in-the-slot doctors of
divinity and laws.

The Nationalist Party.

Edward Everett Hale has defined the
platform of the new political party
which was recently born in New Eng
land. He says in the beginning that the
name Nationalist" badly expresses the
scope of the party, and should not have
been adopted. Friends of Government"
would have been a better name, he
thinks.
He says that the Nationalists do not
believe that the least government is the
best. They do not think that govern
ment should be let out to contractors or.
independent commissions. They would
have every city and town go into the
waterworks and gas lighting business on
its own account. He says cities can at
tend to these matters more cheaply than
to hire private corporations to do 1t.
Mr.. Hale cites the early days of New
England, when the 'town" or township
taught all the children and built all the
roads and bridges. They also vaccinated
all the people for smallpox. Where trad
ing and other interests are in the hands
of private companies, these sometimes
become SO powerful as to defy even the
government itself. AS case in point,
government" ought never to have let
our telegraph service go into the hands
of a private corporation.
In brief, in the judgment of the Ma
tionalists, government itself should un-
dertake to conduct all the enterprises
that concern the whole people. Thus they
believe the whole people will be delivered
from the tyranny and the dishonesty
from which they suffer at the hands of
private. corporations. But are govern
ment officials themselves always wise,
honest and capable?

Mr.. Phelps Mascot.

People have wondered why Hon. WILL
lam Walter Phelps wore his hair cut in
a bang. Plainly that bang Is the genial
Jerseyman's mascot. First he followed
it to congress, next across the water to
Dcrliu 90 one OF the Samoan commits
sioners, and now it has gone before him
to the exalted seat of minister to Ger
many ""inly there is destiny in that
bang. az be remarked in passing
that :; clips and Mr.. Halstead, the
rejectcll :ndidate for minister to Ger
many, are warm friends. Mr.. Phelps
cabled his friendly interest from Berlin
to America during Mr.. Halstead's illness,
and the two were together in Germany
before Mr.. Phelps return.

America, John Adams is called "Old

of the Fourth of July. Of the day,
which he thought would be the I'd of
July instead of the 4th, he wrote to his
wife Abigail: "It ought to be solemnized

A Weeks Outing on Three Dollars.

A Weeks Outing on Three Dollars.
If the toilers on small wages who dwell
in the great middle basin of the country
could have little period Of sea air and
sea bathing every summer it would put
a new, electric life into them, much Of
which would stay with them the rest Of
the year. The trouble is it costs so much
to go to the seashore, and SO much to
live after one gets there.
The first difficulty the railroad compa-
nies ought to remove, with the gracious
permission of the interstate commerce
commission. by making cheap summer
rates. The second obstacle was sur
mounted by party of four clever young
women, in a way told very graphically
by one of them. They spent three months
at the seashore for s. a week apiece,
and $25 besides, to start housekeeping
on. AS they managed, others can man
age, school teachers, sewing women,
typewriters and clerks. Young men
could accomplish the same feat if they
could do as the girls did. cook for them
selves.
To begin: These plucky, merry girls
rented large room for SO a month at
Ocean Grove. Probably Ocean Grove is
he cheapest seashore resort. The room
was unfurnished, except with mating
and window shades. They sent thither
their own bedding and few housekeep-
ing articles that could be packed in a
large pine box. One large pine box
served them as table, another as cup
board They hired from village store
two large double folding cot beds, a
rocking chair apiece, dear to the heart
of woman, and four other chairs.
Their room looked on old ocean itself,
and had a balcony in front. In one cor
ner of the balcony they set up a small
kerosene stove. They yelled it from the
public gaze by artistic and beautiful
draping. Indeed, the aesthetic quality
of the picture is by no means the least of
its attractions. They wore their old
clothes, and went bathing every day.
Their food consisted of sea fish, with the
ocean brine dripping off them, and of
fresh eggs, berries and vegetables sup
piled by dealers in abundance They did
their own cooking and some of their
own washing on the kerosene stove.
They had their books and work with
them. They had hammock or two in
the balcony They swung, they walked,
they ate, they read, bathed and rested
the summer through, and were happy as
birds among the trees. They went back
home as brisk and fresh as birds, too.

Simon Cameron.

A man of invincible loyalty as a friend, who
never forgot personal kindness, and who was
always forw~<d In doing acts of kindness to others
This is che aspect of Mr.. Cameron's
characte :-hich it is pleasantest to dwell
on, and il IS the one by which he will be
best and longest remembered. At one
time he had enemies both in his own
party and out of it, but he disarmed
them a. the years went on, simply by
his W. !'nartedness and his helpful
ness t, IS. When he passed his Goth
year. ',..:, months ago, it is probably
not too rrIch to say that everybody who
knew ili lent congratulations, mental
ly at least. .-
His was life long and stormy and
full of excitement till 1877. when he re-
tired from politics to Let his son Donald
become senator from Pennsylvania.
"His son reigned in his stead" Strangely
enough, in his youth he was very deli
cate, and so weak that he could not pull
the lever of the old hand presses which
were used when he worked at his trade
of printer. Yet by living temperately as
to his body. and plunging into the swirl
up to his lips mentally, and moving for
ward with it always, he lived to his great
age. His recipe for keeping all spowers
so perfectly has been mentioned before.
1t was, Associate with young people
and keep going"
In the field which he chose he was
strongest as political manager. In
business enterprises and in politics alike,
his greatest quality was his unerring
Judgment. It seemed indeed infalible.
Certainly now every one can. say of
him what he said Of himself, at dinner
party in honor of his 72d birthday:
have made 1t a rule of life to be kind to every
one and considerate of all. Yet I Ihavemadeeue-:
mics, because have had opinions and asserted
them. But this has brought me friends also. +

the best could and was ever true to my oblga-
nons and my friends.
