THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Harrison Makes His First
Formal Speech.

There Is no constitutional Of legal re-
quirements that the president shall take
the oath OF Office in the presence of the
people, but there is such manifest appro-
priateness in a public induction to office
Of the chief executive officer of the ma
ton that from the beginning of the gov
eminent the people in whose service the
official oath consecrates the officer, have
been called TO witness the solemn ceremo-
NAL. The oath taken in the presence of
the people becomes a mutual covenant.
The officer covenants to serve the whole
body of the people by the faithful execu-
ton of the laws so that they may be an
unfailing defence and security of those
who respect and observe them, and that
neither wealth, station nor power of COM
binations shall be able to evade their Just
penalties or arrest them from the benei-
cient public purpose to serve the ends of
cruelty or sel6shness. My promise is
spoken, yours u%nspoken.
This occasion deserves peculiar interest
from the fact that the. presidential term
which begins this day is the twenty-sixth
under our constitution. The first 'Inaup-
uration of President Washington took
place in New York, where congress was
then sitting. on the Both day of April,
1889, having been deferred by reason of
delays attending the organization of con-
gress and a canvass Of the electoral
vote.
The president then gave a brief resume
of the history of protection in this coun-
try.
Our people will not fail at this time to
recall the incidents which accompanied
the institution of the government under
the constitution, or to find inspiration and
guidanee in the teachings and example of
Washington and his great associates, and
hope and courage in the contrast which
thirty-eight populous and prosperous
states offer to the thirteen states, weak in
everything except courage and love of
liber ty, that then fringed our Atlantic sea-
board. The territory of Dakota has 10Y
a population greater than any of the orig
inal states Except VirGinia) and greater
than the aggregate of FIVE OF the smaller
states in 1890. The center OF population

The Grand Pageant Reviewed by the

of these untoward surroundings the crowd
preserved good humor. Finally the head

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CONCERNING MOTHS.

'sThe damage by moths is done when
the millers begin to fly" explains the
Upholstery Trade Reris1c, "as their very
presence indicates the absence of the
worm" Carpets are seldom troubled
with moth worms except where hatched
in a dark, unprotected space, and where
it is moderately warm. Nearly all the
trouble from moths emanates from the
furniture, the burlap inside the outer COW
ering being their best field for work,
where they can be free fIom annoyance
and find plenty to eat. Many furniture
dealers realize their danger, and cleanse
the burlap used with naphtha. The au-
thority quoted says: "Cleansing carpets
by the nsphtha process is regarded as the
surest and most satisfactory where is the
slightest suspicion of moth eggs or worms.
1t is especially adapted to pile carpets.
Caution should be exercised as to the
purity and clearness of the naphtha used
and the thorough extraction of the grease,
else the dirt adheres more easily than be-
fore. Where carpets are to remain in
storage some time the odor can be left in
the carpet. A more thorough cleansing
can be assured by having the carpet
beaten first. A surface application OF
naphtha will drive the impurities through
the article to be absorbed by that which
is under it."

An Englishman contributes to u ret

An Englishman contributes to recent
issue of the ST. James Gazette an eXtfaor-
dinary article on the lack of fighting
qualities of the American. He declares
that there was no real fighting in our
Civil War, and that at any time during
the first two years well equipped divis-
ion of 10000 disciplined troops could
have cleaned out either side within three
months. But when he gets down to the
probable results of war between Il
United States and European power,
says the San Francisco Chronicle, he =
most amazing. "He figures out that if 6
war did not result in the South seizina
the opportunity to secede again, then tn
cowboys and Indians of the West, bot
of whom 'hate the grangers' and dete
the Government, would unite and dev;
tate the country. The picture of
union of 'Lo' and the cowboy is a bit
unconscious British humor which thro,

70 KNIT A PATCH INTO A STOCKING.

When the knees of child's stocking
becomes much darned it is almost use
less, as it constantly breaks into holes
again, and is always ugly. The follow
ing plan of mending will be found very
much superior to darn, and is quite
imperceptible. Decide what size patch
will be required. Cut the stocking care
fully across the top and bottom of the
patch, taking care to cut along one row
of the knitting. As the stocking is knit
from the top it will be necessary, if
ribbed, to begin at the top of the patch.
Rip row or two till all the stitches are
clear of broken threads. Do not break off
the threads at each side, but cut them in
the centre. Pick up all the stitches along
the top of the patch. Now clear the
stitches at the bottom OF the patch. You
will have to cut the thread sometimes
to get it free of the stitches il
the stocking is ribbed, but al
ways leave threads at each at least
an inch long. Now cut out the patch,
keeping it about one-half an inch narrower
on each side than the piece you intend
to knit in. Ravel out this one-halt an
inch on each side, leaving the ends IL
they are. Be sure to stop ravelllng SC
that the sides of the patch will be quite
even. Now knit backward and forward
as many rows as you have taken away.
Turn the stocking wrong side out ane
lay the stitches you have just knit besid'
the stitches you picked up at the bottom
of the patch and knit them together, a
in the heel of a stocking. Sew up eacl
side of the patch, keeping the rows per
fectly even, and keeping all the loos
threads on the wrong side; take darn
ing needle and run each thread to tn
right or left of the patch. If the stock
ing is knitted plain, you can begin at tn
bottom of the patch and knit up, whic
is, of course, neater as the join is out Q
sight, being near the top of the stocking

Said lieutenant on board the British
warship Buzzard: "Were | in charge Of
"a battery when engaged with either the
Boston or the Atlanta, | would make a
target out of the afterdeck and destroy
the steering gear. The ship losing this
would then be unmanageable and at the
mercy of her antagonist" 1t is said
that the confidential photograph books
of nearly every British cruiser contain
plates of every ship in the United States
service. Many of these photographs
were taken by the instantaneous process
while the ships were under way.

Professor Richards, of Yale College,
has made study of the records of 2425
students in order to determine, if possible,
the relations of athletics in Yale to
scholarship. The general result is that
the athletes fall slightly behind the non
athletes in scholarship, but not so much
as to demand suppression of those
exercises. In some branches of athletic
exercises the students who engage in thu
sports are above the average OF non
athletes in scholarship.

SOME PRETTY SCREENS.

The frame for an ordinary three-panel
screen, five or six feet in height, can be
made of pine for about two dollars. A
smooth covering of gray or ecru batiste
joined and overlapped along the center
of the edges by row of small tacks with
round brass heads, makes neat and SER
viceable screen for dining-room or hall.
The panels may have design of nastur-
tium vine with crimson and yellow flow
ers trailing from the top, painted on the
panels so as to seem a continuous growth
and interlacing. This for one side the
other can have a painted border at the
top of the panels, five inches deep, of
mottled ground, nasturtium- green
and crimson, with many lines of gold
touched along, and line of gold below
to finish the border. Discs and half
circles in groups of three interlaced can
be powdered over the panels. Outline
them with gold after the background,
the same as the border has been painted.
Some or the single crescents need only
be outlined in gold, as the idea of heavi-
ness must be avoided. Small lines of
gold-Japanese sky-lines as they are
called-may be streaked across above the
border at the bottom. One must try the
effect of their colors and combinations
on a bit of the linen or batiste, and in
troduce these sketchy effects with judg-
ment and discretion. n.-RousewVe.

SHE TALKED.

she talked Of Cosmos and Of CauEe,
Ard woye green elephants in gauze,
And wails she frescoed earthen jugs,
Her tongue would never pause;
On sages wise and esoteric,
And bards from Wendell Holmes to Her.
rick
Thro' times proud Pantheon she walked,
And talked and talked and talked and
talked!
And while she talked, sac would crochet,
And make all kinds of macrame,
Or paint green bobolinks upon
Her mothers earthen tray;
She'd decoratea smelling bottle,
While she conversed on Aristotle;
While fame's proud favorites round her
focked,
She talked and talked and talked and
talked!
She talked and made embroidered rugs,
She talked and painted 'lasses jugs,
And worked five sea green turtle doves
On papa's shaving mugs;
With Emerson or Epictetus,
Plato or Kant, She used to greet us;
She talked until we all were shocked,
And talked and talked and talked n2d
talked!
She had a lover, and he told
The story that is never old,
While she her fathers Doo5iack worked
A lovely green and gold.
She switched off on Theocritus
And talked about Democritus;
While she his ardent passion balked,
And talked and talked and talked c2d
talked!
He begged her to become his own;
| She talked of ether and czone,
And painted yellow poodles on
Her brothers razor hone;
Then talked of Noah and Nebuchadnezzar-
And Timon and Tiglath-pileser-
While he at her heart portals knocked,
| She talked and talked ap1 talked ard
talked!
He bent in loves tempestuous ga-t,
She talked of strata and Of shale,
And worked magnetic poppies on
Her mothers water pail;
And while he talked of passions power,
She amplified on Schopenhauer-
A pistol flashed; he's dead; unshocked,
She talked and talked and talked and
talked!

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Lemons will keep best in a jar of cold
water.
Vinegar and sugar mixed will cure hic-
coughs.
Carriage varnish is an excellent cement
for china.
Castor oil beans dropped in mole holes
will drive away the moles.
A marble dropped in kettle will pre-
vent the contents boiling over.
A bag of sulphur kept in drawers Or
presses will exterminate red ants.
A good cement for mending broken
pottery can be made of starch, plaster Of
Paris and glycerine.
Whole cloves sprinkled among woolel
goods and furs will preserve them from
the depredations of moths.
To mend small holes in plastering, take
one part of plaster of Paris and three
parts of fine sand, and mix with cold
water.
A plaster of common soap and brown
sugar applied to wound made by pin
or other poisonous articles will draw out
the soreness.
A thick mixture of glycerine, yolk Of
an egg and starch, is an effectual remedy
for burn. Common baking soda, spread
on thick, is also good.
Mustard plasters made with white
an egg will not blister the skin. If mixet
with molasses, mustard plasters willremail

faeturers Of fruit brandy in Delaware
are many aud obviously desirable.
The distiller of brandy is compelled
to pay the revenue tax of 80 cents
per gallon before the brandy can be
sold or transported, and the tax paid
at once, if the brandy is kept in the
manufacturers possession; but under
the bonded warehouse system the man
ufacturer has the privilege of paying
the tax whenever the brandy is sold
or Withdrawn from bond. For this he
must pay ten cents for each barrel, or
package, for each and every month it
may remain in the bonded warehouse;
or, as is Familiarity termed, ''in bond"
Thus barrel of fruit brandy would
cost in bond 81 20 per year, while the
manufacturer has the privilege Of sell
ing IL at anytime. and removing it
from bond by paying the government
tax. This accommodation is PLAIN to
the distilleT, he can carry his stock in
barrels for ten cents per month per
barrel-while to carry it out Of bond
the Government would compel him to
pay $4,000 tax on fifty gallon barrel.
