The Household,
Valuable Suggestions.

Lamp wicks should be changed often
enough to insure having a good light.
If they seem clogged they may be wash.
ed in strong suds and put into the
lamps again.
To take spots Of paint from wool,
lay a thick coating of lime and soda
mixed over it, letting it stay twenty
four hours, then wash of with warm
water, and the spots will disappear.
Coffee pounded in mortar and roast.
ed on an iron plate, sugar burned On
hot Goals and vinegar boiled with myrrh
and sprinklcd on the floor and furniture
Of sick room are exc. llent deodorizers.
In beating cake beat from the bottom
Of the mixing bowl with a wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and high
with each stroke, and as soon as the
ingredients are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating, or your cake will
be tough.
a dark carpet often looks dusty so
soon after it has been swept that you
know it does not need sweeping again,
SO wet cloth or sponge, wiring it al
most dry and wipe off the dust. A few
drops of ammonia in the water will
brighten the colors.
To keep cut flowers fresh, in the
evening lay them in shallow pan or
bowl, with their stems in a very little
water, and cover the dish with damp
towel, one just wrung out of water. In
the morning tn, flowers can be arrang-
ed in vases for the day. The stems
can be slightly cut from day to day.
Flowers treated in this manner can be
kept from one to two weeks. and some.
times even longer.
Potato water cleans silks of any kind
or color, says housewife. For every
quart OF water to be used in washing a
dress. for instance, pare and crate one
large potato. Put the grated potato
into the water, which must be soft
water and cold; let stand two day.
without being disturbed in any way
then very carefully pour off the clear
liquor from a sediment into i large.
convenient vessel, into which dip the
pieces Of silk up and down. Ofcourse
the silk must not be creased by wiring
irg it; let it hang and drip nearly dry,
then lay it fiat ON The table and wipe it
first on one side and then on the other.
If necessary to press it, do so between
flannel with moderate iron.

Couldn't I,ent the Yankee.

While the United States ship Nipsic
and several men-of-war of different
nations were anchored near each other
i'll the harbor of Montevidco, the crew
OF Dutch man-of-war which was
moor.d near Uncle Sans ship entered
into liveliest competitive drill and did
their utmost to beat the time made by
the American boys in shining masts
up and down and crossing yards.
After some very determined racing, in
which the Americans had slightly laid
over their persistent competitors, one
of the Dutchmcn, who had succeeded
i'll crossing the mainroyal yard few
seconds astcrn of the time made by
the Nipsic, gave Il loud shout, which
drew the attention of every ship in the
harbor, and shining up the long pole
to the truck, which is circular piece
Of wood about the size of dinner
plate fixed at the very top of the mast
and used for the purpose of hosting
the flags, he drew himself up and
stood on his head on the truck, and
twirled his legs around as if to chal-
lcngc and deride the possibility of any
seaman daring to rival him in that
line of business, and after maintain
ing his position for almost minute he
repeated his yell of defiance and slid
down the royal backstay to the deck,
where he was received by Il cheer that
could be heard all over the city of
Montevidco. The rousing cheer had
an instantaneous effect upon the tenn
per of Jack Peterson, the curly head
ed captain Of the Nipsic's foretop,
who, after declaring that no square
headed Dutchnmn under the sun could
get ahead of him, rushed up to the
main truck, and in attempting to
stand on his head, which he had never
before attempted to do, he instantly
overbalanccd and fell distance of 1870
feet into the water, accidentally going
in feet first, after the manner Of an
expert diver. The somerset and
fall were entirely accidental, and
looked from a distance like feat of
great skill. Jack was at once pulled
aboard the ship, and before he had
fully recovered his breath he jumped
on the rail, and shaking his c1cnched
fist in the direction of the Hollanter,
he shouted at the top of his voice:
There, you Dutch pea soup guzzling
son Of Il sea cook, let's see you beat
that. San Francisco Examiner.

There is strong cry by journals in
the interests Of trust over the Missouri
anti trust law. There is no cry from
syndicate organs over the defeat of the
two anti trust bills introduced in the
Illinois Legislature, one of which was
passed by the House and killed in the
Senate. 1t was stated that trust money
killed the bills. The Senate, by COM
mittee, investigated and disclaimed that
such Was the case.

The average yield of grain and hay,
lie Sid, was al out the same evey year,
but the difference in the receipts and
expenditures is accounted for by the
fact that in scmc years all of his wheat
and hay were sold before the first of
January, and in other years afterwards,
thus making the receipts show dispro-
portion at times.
Last year he kept no hand employed,
but previously had one. He was sick
a good deal, too, and therefore his pro.
fits were reduced.
In this account the sales of butter
and eggs are not noted. These went
to the store in exchange for groceries
and other store goods, a cultivator
occasionally, hardware needed on the
farm, &c. The receipts from these
sources were over 500 year. lie
found poultry a source of profit. The
sales were as follows: 1881, 1921;
1882, sS2.47; 1888, sIl4,ll; 1884,
s77,92; 1885, s45,s4; 1856, sl4O,3l;
1887, 163,05; 1888, S76.26.
He attributes much ofhis succes TO
a careful looking after expenses and
the utilizing of little things.
lie spoke feelingly of the willing CO
operation and assistance rendered him
by his good wife, who looks after the
butter and eggs, and with the sales of
these provides many of the comforts
CT their home.

The calling of the farmer often
rises to great dignity in the minds of
men who generally think the farmer a

Political Questions in Agricultural
Papers.

The following paragraphs are frou'
the Pruirie Farmer:
1t is gravely related by Chicago
contemporary, that the reason why the
"new steamship of the Pacific Mail line
is to fly foreign flag, seeing that she
is owned by American capitalists, is
that the laws of the United States have
compelled her to be built in foreign
parts because materials here are taxed
so highly. She couldn't fly the stars
and stripes unless heavy duty was
paid on everything in her, from truck
to keelson. Even the starry banner
brings in lis per cent duty, which was
put on to encourage Ben Butler in his
monopoly Of bunting" This may ac-
count for the fact that the average
American flag Of the people is made Of
printed cotton.
