was received by the secretary of state this
morning

No information has been received at the
ment of a British minister to this country.
The department, however, has been informed
that Mr.. Edwards, secretary of legation at
Washington, who has been at London some
time has sailed for this country. On arrival
he will assume charge of the affairs of the
legation. This Is understood to mean no i'm
mediate prospect OF the appointment Of
successor to Lord SacBville
Senator Dawes from the committee on In
dian affairs, today reported favorably, with
an amendment, the bill TO- ratify and con
firm an agreement with the Creek Indian
nation for the cession Of a part of their res
ervation to the United States.
On motion of Mr.. Dingley, the House to-
day passed the Senate bill for the establish
ment OF LIE saving station near the mouth
OF the st. George river, Maine.
The conferees on the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill have reached an
agreement, and will report early next week.
The House representatives accept the Sem
dLc dLucuulucub VI lOF the mdlDte-
nance of American rights in Samoa, while
the Senate cOnferees agree to allow the pro-
vision of 100000 for the naval station at
Pago Pago to go into ths naval appropria
tion bill.
The President will, in few days, send to
Congress message stating in detail what
the relations between England and the
United States are. There are many reasons
for believing that they are not happy. 1t is
inferred that the President is awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. Phelps, and that he desires a
personal interview with the returned minis
ter to the Court of St. James before sending
the correspondence TO Congress.
AS the Republican senators have practical
ly decided not to act upon nominations be-
fore the fourth of March. the successor of
President Cleveland will be called on to
name customs collectors in Maine for the dis
tricts of Honlton and Belfast, and an ap-
praiser for the Portland Custom House. I'm
der the incoming administration postmasters
will be early appointed at Princeton, PresQue
Isle. Waldobor0 and South Paris. The term
OF the Camden postmaster will expire March
5Oth, but the present postmaster will hold
over until bis successor Is appointed and
qualified.
Congressman MiIliken is credited as hay-
ing quoted Mr. Blaine recently, to the effect
that the probable Secretary of State of the
incoming administration was in favor of the
acquisition of Cuba. Mr.. Blaine's two rea-
sons for this wish are: First, that the
United States by owning Cuba could effec-
tually stamp out yellow fever and prevent
the danger Of contagion to the southern coast
OF this country; and, second, that the ac-
QUESTION would settle the sugar question for
all time.

The Broom.

Now for the broom, that fell DESTROYER
OF domestic peace and carpets. "a
new broom sweeps clean " is as true
when applied to the broom as to many
phases of everyday life. When you
get a new broom proceed first to give
it some needful attentions. Bore
hole in the top of the handle and put in
a string TO hang it blythe string being
pr ferred to screw-eye, because the
latter will not slip readily overa closet
hook. Take a ribbed stockipg-leg
twelve or fourteen inches long, the top
part with hem on, run draw-string in
the raw edge, slip down over the handle
of the broom, tying snugly around the
top of the brush at the handle, and al
lowing the hem to extend down over
the brush; this device holds it together,
preventing its sprawling and Tipping
dust in every direction or running over
sideways with age. 1t also protects
furniture from accidental scufling and
prevents the broom being broken by
sharp corners of stoves, etc. Examine
new broom and you will find the ends
of straws and base of brush square; eX-
anime it after use for some time and
you will find the straws as sharp as
needles, cutting up clouds of lint from
the threads of the carpet every time
you sweep. And right here is the secret
of new broom sweeping clean--the
square ends of square-cut brush.
When the broom gets those sharp
points dip in hot suds and shear neatly,
thus preserving the square shape. This
gives you, virtually, new broom; do
not use it, however, until thoroughly
dry, as the use of wet broom renders
it unfit for any other purpose than
scrubbing. A broom treated as directed
will sweep a moderate-sized house one
year and serve for scrub-broom the
second. When you sweep do it well,
but not oftener than necessary. A
good patent sweeper saves labor and
carpet very much in brushing up lint,
etc, between regular sweepings.-

The Care of Boots.

The care of boots, shoes and slip
pers, which do their full share in Civ
ing one a tidy, well-dressed air, must
not be forgotten. Firstly, never allow
boot or shoe to become run over at
the heel. No heel is better than a run
over one. If you can not afford to
keep them straight by frequent rebuild
ing cut off the lift each time one be-
comes run over. With great care this
habit of running over heels may be
almost entirely cured. A greater as
sistance than nails on the side run over
is to have small wedge forced be-
tween the layers of the heel on the run
over side, thus forcing the foot to tread
the other way: If this is persistently
kept up the boot will soon show
great improvement. A boot should
never be worn with buttons off or with
knots in the shoe-strings, both being
untidy. No matter how old boot may
be, even if patched, if the buttons are
all on, the heels straight and it is well
blackened it has tidy, well-dressed
appearance. Slippers, above all things,
must be irreproachable in the way of
being whole and well blackened.- Cot

JelIied Chicken.

Select chicken that weighs about
five pounds. 1t is not necessary to in
quire its age, as almost any fowl can be
boiled tender. Joint it aud put it on
with cold water, with salt and pepper.
Boil it until the meat slips easily from
the bones and the broth will measure less
than a quart. Then strain the broth
and let it cool so the fat can be re-
moved. Dissolve a half package of
gelatne in little cold water, heat the
broth boiling hot and add the gelatine
to it. Cut the breast in strips and the
rest of the chicken in small pieces;
boil two eggs hard and cut in thin
slices. Slice half lemon very thin.
An oval vegetable or pudding-dish will
make a good mold, as it will correspond
to the shape of a platter. Lay the
strips of the breast, the slices of the
egg and lemon close against the dish,
and then lay in lightly the rest of the
chicken, placing the meat so all the
fibers will lie in one direction, that in
slicing you may cut across the grain.
Now strain on the broth until the dish
is nearly full, then set it away to cool.
The amount of broth and gelatine must
be in proportion to the quantity of
chicken, half box of gelatine being
sufficient to stiffen quart of broth.
slice and retain its shape. To remove
from the mold dip it a moment in hot
water and then turn it out on a platter
and garnish with parsley and slices of
hard-boiled eggs Woman.
