HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

White spots upon vanished
furniture will disappear If you hold
a hot plate over them.
Spots may be taken out of wash
goods by rubbing them with the
yolk of eggs before washing.
To clean tins, making them look
almost as nice as new, wash in hot
soap suds, dip a dampened cloth IN
fine, sifted coal ashes, scOur we'll,
then polish with dry ashes.
A spatula or palette-knife is
the best thing tor scraping batter,
porridge, ETC., from the sides OF
bowls or pots 1t is not expensive,
and soon saves Its cost by prevent
ing waste.
Flowers can be kept fresh for
some time if a pinch of soda or
saltpetre Is added 10 the water
Wllted roses Will regain their
freshness if dipped a moment or
two in hot water.
Sour milk would better be re-
moved from a tin vessel as soon as
possible, as it is never well to per
NIT an acid to remain in metal
receiver. For this reason many
people object to canning fruits in
tins.
Treat your shoes tenderly. Have
one pair sacred to rainy weather
for rubbers ruin fine leather
Avoid varnish and backing of all
kinds, and substitute vaseline,
First, rub your shoes with a piece
OF old black silk, then apply the
YaSellBe with a soft, black KID
glove.
In washing all body linen, napery
and bed linen the practice of soak
ing them for some hours in water
in which borax has been dissolved
is a good one. Nor should cloth
ing be boiled beyond fifteen OF
twenty minutes at the most. None
but the best soaps ought to be
used in any kind Of washing, and
after clothing has been rubbed
IN the first water, and put
loosely into the boiler, with
plenty of water to scald it in, it
should not require rubbing again
in the sudsing water.

KENTUCKY WHISKEY IN FLAMES.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND BARRELS
OF THE BEVERAGE BURNED
UP AT LOUISVILLE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August IA
The immense distillery of the Ken
lucky Distilling Company, owned
by Bsrkhouse & Co., was burned
today. The fire was caused ~
the carelessDess of a cOlOred man
who was assisting the Waterman.
While engaged in moving some
barrels be placed a lamp on the
floor and climbed on top of one of
the piles. A misstep started one
of the barrels down, and when it
struck the lamp the whlskey and
oil together fared up in a fearful
blaze. The Kentucky DIstillery
was located on Story avenue, be-
tween Adams and Ohio streets.
For almost a month 1t had been
shut down, and consequently at
the time there was nobody about
hut the Waterman, one assistant,
and the office clerks. The distil-
lery property consisted of an i'm
mense distlllery containing the ma
chlnery for the manufacture of the
whiskey, and extending back from
the street almost go feet. The
lower part was of frame, while the
front was of brick, and was thi ee
stories high. East of the office,
and adjoining it, were two large
warehouses, in which were stored
$4,000 barrels Of whiskey. This
building was entirely of brick,
three stories high, almost $50 deep,
and about 100 feet wide. 1t was
here that the fire started. The
dIstillery warehouse was the next
to the largest In Louisville. The
total depth of the two warehouses
was 233 feet. All this went down
and was totally consumed. The
dlstlllery proper was "a feet by 334,
and TO this had been built two ad.
ditlons, the dimensions of one be
ing 70 by 49t feet, and the other
"a by % feet. The cistern room
went down with the warehouse. 1t
was 50 feet square. The ferment-
ing room was 80 by 2G4. All these
buildings we're destroyed.
The loss on the buildings will
reach $4,000. There were stored
in the warehouse at the time OF
the fire $4,000 barrels of whiskey.
AS not a single barrel was saved,
the loss on the whiskey alone Civ
ing to each barrel an estimated
value of $50, amounts to half a
million. The loss was almost, If
not entirely, covered by insurance.
While the distIlleTy is in operation
the daily output will average fully
one hundred barrels. The owners
of the distIllery are the members
of the corporation styled the Ken
lucky DlstIlery Company. Mr.
julius BarkhOuse, the President of
the company, is now in Europe.
Mr.. Louis BarkhOuse, the secretary
and treasurer, is also out OF the
city at Macklnac spending the

DON'T.

Don't is a very good and ser.
Yiceable word, though many a boy
and girl is sick of the sight OF 1t.
And we do not blame them at all ;
we got tired of hearing it when we
were a boy. Still, there are many
ways of u ing 1t besides the mOnOt.
onous prohlbitoiy style peculiar to
parents and others In authority,
aud We might as well use it right.
1t IS hardly necessary to cay that
it is contraction of "do not" and
therefore IS not TO be found IN the
dictionaries in Its contracted form.
If the revtred dictionary makers
will pardon the presumption, we
think they are wrong, for "don'r
has virtually been grated upon the
language as a distinct word. IN
deed, we almost think we should be
warranted in dropping the apos.
trophe and Writing III PLAIN don't.
But be that as It may, we must
not lose sight of its OIigOD, and
give it, in our indifference, a sin
gular or plural connection at Will.

the same as she do not like warm

grammatical conscience would not
condone that offense. she DOESN'T

Wolf, corner of Second and State

long and painful illness, the result Of
indammatory rheumatism, which from
the first had stubhornly baf1led every
effort of science, as applied by the
physicians and nurses, until it finally
reached the heart and forever stilled
its beatings. Mrs. Wolf was but
twenty-five years of age, and leaves
two baby boys, aged respectively
three years and eighteen months. She
was woman of fine intellect, high
culture, and strlkingly handsome in
person. Only few months since
one of her neighbors remarked to the
writer: 81 have never been able to

ly both outside and H." She leaves

to mourn her loss. to all of whom her
life will ever remain sacred memory.

IN MEMORIAM.

Little WILLIE BRUCE EoKFoRD, who died
October IL, 1890.
Death, the tireless reaper, has
gathered to his bosom one more pure,
unsullied blossom, and left our hearts
and homes desolate. He was too
pure flower for earth, and Jesus
transplanted him 10 the heavenly gar
dens ere sin had blighted one petal.
The sunshine seems darkened and
the earth less fair since our Willie
left US and went to live with the an
gels. He had been a great sufferer
for more than two years, and every
thing that loving hands could do was
done 10 alleviate his suffcrings and
restore him to health, but God knew
best and early called him home. Pure
and fair as the rosebuds around him
he lay in his little white coffin, all
trace of suffering gone from his beau
tiful face, and on his waxen brow
rested the seal of eternal peace.
Slumber on, little darling, we would
not, if We could, call thee back to
this world with its suffering and sor-
row. Your gentle, loving little heart
will never more be grieved, for in
that bright land where you have gone

grieve for him; be is not lost, but
only gone before, and at the beauti-

Saved from all sorrow, sin and temptation,
Safe in the arms of Infinite Love.

That Little Rock has but twenty
two thousand inhabitants is sufficient
ly absurd to provoke a smile, were it
not so damaging to our city interests
in going abroad as the correct census.
Hon. Frederick Kramer has reason
to be proud of the trust reposed in

comes responsibilities which he can

Grand Treasurer of the Grand Com
mandery, Knights Templar, of Ar

The census gives Little Rock only
$4,000 population, which every resi-
dent believes to be at least 5000 be-
low thesactual count, thus detracting
from the reputation of the city. This
comes of giving the job to men who
think their reputation already made,
and unwilling to give themselves un-
necessary trouble. If it had been
given to industrious women who would
give time and attention, no doubt it
would have been more satisfactory to
all interested.

How to Wear High Heels.

This prejudice against high heels is a mis-
take" remarked a shoemaker, as he prepared
to place an addition lift" upon the heel of a
shoe which he held in his lap.
1T depends entirely upon the natural
shape of the foot. People with high instep
require high heels, and it is only the fat
footed who feel easy with low heels.
shippers are positively injurious to most
persons, especially if they attempt to do any
unusual amount of walking in them. The
low heels give no support to the ankles and
cause the ankles to break down.
ANY person who finds in breaking in a
new pair of shoes that there is a pain across
the instep should know at once that the heels
of the shoes are too low. | am satisfied that
children suffer great deal from this cause.
Every individual should learn by experience
how high the heels Of his shoes should be, and
select accordingly. kansas CITY Globe,
