That salt will curdle new milk,

That fresh meat, after beginning to

That clear boiling water will re-
move tea stains and many fruit
stains. Pour the water through the
stain and thus prevent it spreading
over the fabric. .r
That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white
cloth +; also from the hands. a.
That tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with white clothes will aid in

That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of a little

The State Prison.

The incoming legislature will be
expected to do something with the
penitentiary. The Press favors
turning over the convicts to the
respective counties and employing
them to work the public roads. This
plan seems to be the best if not the
only solution of the problem Of con-
Wet labor.-Troy Press.
The subject referred to by our
contemporary in the above paragraph
is one that is toTennessee legislatures
regular stumbling block. 1t is to
political parties what the Tartar was
to the French soldier. We venture
to offer what seems to us to be the
only solution. 1t will not do to
attempt to work murderers and
desperadoes on the public roads
under county auspices. The walls
must be kept for this class; and they
amount to only few hundreds at
most. So we say keep the walls and
make them strong for long term, and
bad convicts. But if the general
assembly will SO modify the law as to
contine all prisoners convicted of
minor offenses and for short terms, in
the county warehouses under the
present law, the problem will there
by be solved. Such a modification of
the law would reduce the number of
cOnvicts in the penitentiary to 200 to
400 ia the next two years. With only
this number in the penitentiary, it
would be immatcrial whether the
lease system were continued or
abandoned. The labor of that num-
Der would NOT be a serious matter in
competition with honest labor. A
good man could be found competent
to manage that number But with
400 cOnvicts to manage there is no
way to do that is feasible except to
lease the penitentiary.- Morristown
