Household Hints.

Every piece of household linen, as
we'll as personal garments, should have
an embroidered initial or monogram /;
the same design should be used on the
china and glassware the silver is sell
dom without an individual or family
mark.
If one has colored glass finger bowls
a selection in the color Of the doylies
is necessary. In the Japan silks al
most every conceivable shade is offered
the favorites being blue, rose, pink,
Nile green, salmon, shrimp, pink and
yellow. Doylies made of this silk will
wash almost as we'll as linen. Scarfs
and centre pieces are also made Of the
same material. The effect of these
delicate silks over fine white cloth is
very pretty.
The list of things which may with
propriety be eaten with the fingers is
on the increase. For instance, toast
and small cake, celery and asparagus,
when served whole; lettuce, which
must be crumpled up in the fingers and
dipped in salt or some kind of sauce /;
olives, to which fork should never be
put any more than a knife should be
used to raw oysters straw berries, when
served with the hulls on, as they
should be cheese of all kinds but
Camenbert and Roquerort fruit OF all
kinds, except melons The last are
eaten with spoon or fork,
A pretty table scarf, made Of fine
linen twenty by twenty four inches
wide, may have above the wide hem a
border of drawn work in intricately
woven designs The centre should be
embroidered in white and a heavy
satin stitch, and the veins and outlines
of the flowers traced with dead gold
threads, intermixed with silken web
of golden brown silk. The design may
be in running pattern of flowers,
with flight Of birds and circliug but
terhies In disks outlined with gold
threads are cupids in grotesque atti-
tudes--one is riding astride a gigantic
butterfly, while another conducts his
aerial steeds with slender threads OF
brown and gold.

The Restless Boy At Church.


How he turns and twists,
And how he persists
In rafting his heels,
How uneasly he feels,
Our wide-awake boy in church
Then earnest and still,
He ate nds with will,
While the story is told
OF some old hero bold
Our dear thoughtful boy in church
But our glad surprise
At his thoughtful eyes
Is turned to despair,
As he witches the hair
OF his little sister in church.
Still, each naughty trick flies
At a look from the eyes
OF his mother SO dear,
Who thinks but to sit near
Her mischievous boy in church,
Another trick comes
Yes. His finger he drums,
Or his kerchief is spread
All over his head,
And still we take him to church
He's troublesome Yes.
That I am bound to confess
But God made the boys,
With their fun and their noise,
And he surely wants them in church
Such children, you know,
Long, long years ago,
Did not trouble the Lord,
Though disciples were bored
So we'll keep them near him in church.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan 22.-The principal
address at the woman suffrage convention that
opened here yesterday was made by Rev
Olympia Brown, of Wisconsin, on the subject
OF Foreign Rule" While not opposed tC
foreign immigration, she thought it mistake
To confer upon foreigners advantages not

lowed to vote too soon after reaching thi:
country More men than women came to our
shores In an emigrant train that arrived in
Milwaukee recently there were 300 men and
only dozen women and about the same mum
Der OF children. On the other hand, among
the nativeborn population, the women pre-
dominated. In Wisconsin the foreign vote was
larger than the native vote, although the ma
tive population numbered 9l2,072 person.
and the foreign population 405, 425. AS re-
suit the governing power in the cities and
states was largely foreign The only safe
guard for American institutions was woman
suffrage. If women We're not given the right

said American institutions We're on the verge

did not reflect that the church to-day was
mainly composed of women-of disenfran-

THE SAMOAN CASE STATED
As IL Is Viewed by the State Department
The German Navy.

As II Is Viewed by the State Department
The German Navy.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. with refer
ence to the troubles in Samoa the state de
partment is in possession of no further facts
than have been made public lpIt the opinion
Is expressed among the officials here that the
Americans who came under the fire of the
German guns were operating with the forces
of the king against the rebels, and that the
American flag has been improperly used to
shield the forces of the king against the oper-
atoms of the German naval officers. In the
rebellion against the existing government of
Samoa the Americans have taken the side of
the government, while the Germans are sup
porting the rebels. The facts, as far as known
here, show that the German interference and
the Smelling of Samoan towns was without
justification. The matter will he thoroughly
investigated by the government, but nothing
can be done until the entire facts are known.
Such naval vessels as are on the Pacific
coast will be ordered to Samoa To care for
American rights The German navy consists
of about l40 vessels, many of which are mod
ern and supplied with krupp guns of large
caliber and long range The strength of the
navy is put down at 1900 men In addition
to this active force, there is large reserve of
wehr, and at the principal home stations there
are assembled numerous batteries of heavy
guns of modern fabrication.
A friend of Secretary Bayard is authority
for the statement that Mr.. Bayard has al
ways insisted that the natives of the Samoan
islands should have the privilege of selecting
their own ruler, and maintaining an iudepend-
ent form of government"
Correspondence on this subject also passed
between Secretary Bayard and Count Bis
marck, and there was general understand
ing that such policy should prevail In the
meantime, it appears that Tamasese has set
himself up as ruler there He is said to be
recognized and encouraged by Germany, in
spite of the fact that King Mataafa claims to
be the choice of a large majority of the in.
habitants. The state department has thus
far taken no part in the dispute between the
rival rulers, but has stoutly maintained that
the ma jority should rule in Samoa, without
regard to whether Tamasese or Mataafa is
chosen. The prime object of our government
has been to live up squarely 10 our treaty
obligations with Samoa and at the same time
protect the rights and interests of our citizens

state mining bureau at San Francisco four
"dasiccated human bodies" that were found

Work on the Great Canal to Go Right
Ahead-A Hopeful Outlook.
CHICAGO, Jan. pa telegram from Pan
anna, dated Jan. 10, SAYS: NM Vauxonne
and Boileau arrived to-day from Paris bring
ing good news TO the thousands of men at
work on the Pana ma canal. 1t was to the
effect that in all human probability work on
the great enterprise would be continued with.
out interruption; that the French people
would subscribe another $lOO, OO0, 900 in add
ton to the vast sums already expended and
bring the gigantic work to a completion.
These gentlemen report that when they left
France on Christmas Day it was quite evi-
lent that the requisite money would be
forthcoming, and they were therefore sent
back 10 Panama with Instructions t.
Nj. Jacquier, the resident director, to push
the work steadily on the assumption that the
new loan would be subscribed The last of
January will definitely decide the fate of the
canal as far as France is concerned, says the
director here, adding that work will continue
steadily until the 9th inst under any circum
stances, and perhaps beyond that date, for
there is still sufficient money in the treasury
TO keep the work going for three months
But If the decision Of the French sharehod
ers should Ire adverse, the suspension will only
be temporary, for new elements will step in
and reap where others have sown
1t is well that this news has come 50 onpor
tuneiy. The uncertainty which has prevailed
regarding the poSs BILE action of the French
people has put the motley population along
