Practical Suggestions.

Carelessness in measuring and pre-
pairing a dish is often the course of fail
ure. When receipt is found good it
should be followed exactly.
1t is not only an economy for home
makers to keep an account book, but
it is great satisfaction to know from
year to year exactly what has been eX-
pended.
The excellence of baked potatoes de-
pends upon eating as soon as done and
cooked, and dry rapidly as soon as
baked through.
To remove claret stains from table
linens rub on salt as soon as possible
and wash in the usual way. If not en-
tirely removed apply lemon juice and
dry in the sun.
What is more disagreeable to use
than rusty fiat-iron? Rub them with
with fine emery dust and sweet oil. If
you can not make them smooth send
them to a factory and have them
ground.
If the stove is cracked good cement
is made for it as follows. Wood ashes
and salt in equal proportions, reduced
to paste with cold water, and filled
in the cracks when the stove is cool.
1t will soon harden.
Save stale pieces of bread, and when
an easy day comes dry them thorough
ly in an open oven, and with a rolling
pin crush as fine as dust. These, then
will always be at hand for preparing
oysters, outlets, croquettes. etc.
Go to bed at night to sleep, and not
to think over the troubles of to-day
nor the anticipated trials of tomorrow.
One woman said: II plan my next
days work each night after retiring. :"
Poor, little, nervous thing, she looked
it.
Keep celery fresh by rolling it in
brown paper sprinkled with water,
then in a damp cloth, and put in cool,
dark place. Before preparing it for
the table, submerge it in cold water
and let it stand for an hour. 1t will
be found very crisp.
When furnishing a home, do not
neglect to purchase pictures. They
serve to recall pleasant memories and
scenes, and when hung to harmonic
with the furniture and in keeping with
the use of the room, they are highly
ornamental. Buy good ones, or none.
cient restorative. 1t forms an agree
able, warm drink, which is neither
heating to the blood, nor oppressive to
the stomach. particularly if taken
slowly when one is sitting quietly.
Large quantities, however induce
nervous disorders.
The Importance of letting the sun
light fall into all parts of our dwellings
can not be too highly estimated. Good
health is dependent on sunlight and
pure air. An eminent physician has
said: Sunlight should never be ex-
cluded except when so bright as to be
uncomfortable to the eyes.
Silver, washed after each meal in
very hot water, with sometimes little
ammonia in it, will be bright and shin
ing for long time without other clean
ing. When mge thorough cleaning
is necessary, use any good silver
polish, being sure to rub lightly, as the
bright luster soon wears dull, and if it
be plated, soon wears off.-Good House.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRE's.
sAvENNA. WEDNESDAY,. NOV. 10, 1880


THE Old Roman Banquet at Columbus last
Thursday evening in honor of Ohio's grand old
man, was one of the most notable affairs in the
history of the State. it was not merely an eX-
preston from the Ohio Democracy of their af-
fectionate regard for great and good leader.
honor in which he Is universally held. Rare
indeed is such sight witnessed where the peo-
pie join in commemorsting the natal anniver-
sary of retired Statesman out of grateful ap
preciation of his past services. 1t was another
illustration of the steadfa-tness of the great
mass of American people in all those principle
which unite in the true patriot and beget a
permanent love and appreciation for them
wherever and by whoever exemplifed. Allen
G. Thurman has been justly called the Old
Roman. for there is not an intelligent citizen OF
the country who refuses to honor him for his
uprightness and true devotion to the nation's IS
best interests. and it was very fitting indeed
that such popular testimonial be given that
the world might know that the American peo-
pie reverence and respect such men. Many OF
the leading Democratic Statesmen of the coun-
try were present. including ex- President Cleve-
land. Many letters were received from leading
Republicans of the country. expressing regret
for their inability to be present The affair was
q magnificent ovation to the Old Roman, affec-
tionately enshrined in the hearts of all the
people.

Moving Their Bones.

The remains of the bones of go
French soldiers who had died at Berlin
of wounds or injuries received in the
ill-fated Russian campaign in 1912
were moved into new grave few
days ago. When they were first
buried they were all put in one large
grave. Some years later Prussia
wanted the space for new barracks,
and the remains were removed to a
more convenient place. Now another
new barracks is to be built above their
second resting place, and once again
they had to move on" This time the
grave has been chosen in the garrison
cemetery, and it hoped that no farther
removals will be necessary.

fear him for his great ability and sterling quail

Cleveland, the Father of Tariff Reform and the

Cleveland, who had the sublime courage to
speak when the interests of his countrymen
demanded it. although defeated by infamous
frauds and crimes against the election fran
chise, is affectionately enshrined in the heart of
every true American today by reason of his
conscientious adherence to duty, and they will
insist that he be renominated in 1892. In such

the depth of five feet. The question
