CLEANING COFFEE POTS.

There is always disagreement among
housewives about how the coffee pot
should be cleansed. Some women take
n great pride in washing theirs both in-
side and outside every morning with hot
soapy water. Some authorities say, how
ever, that soap should not touch the in
side of coffee pot. One good way is
to wash the outside, and then rinse the
inside thoroughly with clean hot water.
II may then be put on the stove to dry,
and when dry may be rubbed well with
a clean, dry cloth. The brown sediment
may be rubbed off in that way, without
the aid of a soapy dish cloth. |, how
ever, take n medium course, as once
every week wash the inside of my cof-
fee pot out thoroughly with clean, hot
soapy water, and then rinse several times
with clear, hot or boiling water. After
this, however, regularly every morning,
l use only clean, hot water, etc, as |
! have just described, as "a good way"
to do it. If after breakfast you have
coffee remaining in the coffee pot that
you desire to use again, put it, grounds
and all into a bowl so that you may
cleanse your coffee pot out as usual

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among l. usical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from n severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sase's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Piepce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compl-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Winter Resorts.

1t is possible in our big country to 70
from midwinter to midsummer In two
days time, from almost any quarter of
the Union. Winter resorts are becom-
ing as popular as summer ones, and as
crowded. There are all the year round
hotels, indeed, at the seashore and else
where, whose winter prices are double
those of the summer.
Those whose lungs are weak, and who
wish to avoid a northern winter, find
great relief in the pine regions Of the
Carolinas, notably in the neighborhood
of Asheville, N. G. Florida, land of alli-
gator and orange grove, is perennially
lovely. Little wonder that the old
Spaniard thought the fountain of youth
was there. Old Point Comfort, too, is a
most charming winter resort.
One of the most glorious and most life
giving regions in winter is the coast Of
southern California. Beautiful resorts
are dotted along the Pacific, where the
person with cough may linger few
weeks or months, and under the influ-
ence of the soft airs from the sea and the
rich and nourishing fruits his cheeks
will grow round and full, his nights ret
full and dreamless. The cough will lea4e
him and new life will come to him. Such
spots are San Diego and Santa Cruz.
Living in these places is cheap. Califor-
MIA has, too, the hot springs Of San IL ]
Obispo, claimed to be equal in medich. :.
qualities to the hot springs of Arkansal.
San Luis Obispo is in mountain regiok
of unparalleled beauty in the heart u
the California orange groves.
If people along the Atlantic coast want
to get away from fogs and SHOWS they
fit away to Bermuda, sixty houls'
ride by sea from New York. Here.
it is said, fevers are almost unknown,
because the inhabitants live on fruits
and vegetables. Among TN vegeBa-
bles is the gigantic Bermuda pnion, as
mild favored as it is big. 1t isYclaimed
that those who eat plenty Of bermuda
onions will not have fevers OF any otle r
ailment to speak Of At bermuda tie
sea water is warm enough to battle b
the surf the year around.
Nassau, in the Bahamas, is another
delightful spot, something similar to
Bermuda. The temperature ranges be-
tween go and s. dogs. The sea about
Nassau is indescribably beautiful. It is
SO transparent that sea weed is visible
growing thirty to fifty feet below the
surface

A Great Project.

The greatest transportation project OF
modern times is now in process of de
velopment. 1t is a railway and steam
ship system which will bring all parts of
North and South America within easy
reach of each other.
Many thousand miles of railway which
will connect different parts of the sys-
tenn are already finished. A road 3 ,400
miles long, connecting the cities of Bo-
gotta and Buenos Ayres, is in construc-
ton More than 800 miles of this road
are already finished. Cross roads from
ports on the Pacific will tap the main
line and feed it from all the states of
South America. Some of these are al
ready completed, others are finishing
rapidly.
The great trunk road Wal pass through
die heart of the ancient kingdoin of the
Incas. 1t is popularity believed in Peru
and Bolivia that there are mines and
treasures of fabulous richness hidden
away somewhere in the heart of the
Andes, and that the secret Of their To-
cality is guarded by descendants of the
Incas to this day, who live with few
faithful Indian ATTENDANTS in forests and
caves safe enough from the eye of the
white man. Such is the tradition.
Be that as it may, it is certain that the
mountains of Peru and Bolivia contain
immensely rich mines, hitherto unde.
veloped by reason of the obstacles nature
has placed in the way to them. These
obstacles the white man now at last is
surrounding. One of the cross railroads
mentioned leads from Valparaiso, in
Chill, across the Andes to Mendoza, in
the Argentine Republic. 1t traverse:
the mountains by a tunnel over six miles
long.
To complete the great system in north
ern South America, the Colombia Rail
way and Navigation company has beer
Incorporated in the United States. From
a port at the mouth of the Magdalena
river, on the northern coast of Colombia
railroads will be completed to points il
Peru. All will connect with the trunl
line at Bogota or elsewhere along thu
route. From the port ct the mouth o.
the Magdalena powerful steamers vii
carry freight and passengers with speed
and safety to New Orleans and the south
eIn point Of Florida, thence ell owe.

Moncure D. Conway, housing among
the papers Of the Long Island Historical
society, has found some letters from
Washington that had never been pub
lished, and given them to the world in
book form. 1t was supposed we knew
all about Washington as statesman, sol
der, and even as a moony young man in
love, writing to his girl the most execra-
BILE rhyme ever perpetrated even by a
young man in love, but it was reserved
for Mr.. Conway to show us Washington
the farmer. When he was president,
after the state duties were over, Wash
ington used to sit up nights and write
with his own hand long letters to his
farm manager, telling what to do with
this horse OF flock of sheep and that
turnip field. 1t was before the days Of
etenographers and pretty typewriter
girls.
1t may perhaps be a consolation to
farmers in our time to know that the
father Of his country was as hard up for
money as they are, that he had to Dor-
row constantly, and was put to it to meet
his expenses at times. Yet through all
he held steadily to the idea that there is
no life for a gentleman but that in the
country, upon his own estates.

A CranlK's Wisdom.

Milton Allen considers himself COM
missioned to found new religion. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to~him
that, as Brillat -Savarin said, we have al
ready in America hundred religions
and only ono gravy. At any rate Milton
has been reading Revelations till he sees
in the New Jerusalem of st. John the
United States of America and no place
else.
Some of his notions have solemn
good sense in them that is refreshing
For instance he says:
In my new cosmogony insist upon the estab-
lishment Of industrial schools in place Of the col
leges which grind out mental dyspeptics. Iwould
likewise teach the convict trade and change his
cell into decent living room.
Then again he is way off, even for a
crank. He tells us:
The heavenly Jerusalem, which John describes
in Revelations, was nearly square in shape and
measured 1900 furlongs both in length and
breadth Much cattle and horses should abide
therein silver and gold should be plentiful and all
nations shall enter in and walk in the institutions
thereof.
God rolled back the mists enveloping future
centuries and permitted John to gaze on the
United States of America.
So our country corresponds in shape, size
and in all other respects with the prophecies con
corning the New Jerusalem
Milton Allen, go to! If an attempt
were made to start the New Jerusa-
lem in this country company Of
spectators would speedily get hold Of
the twelve sacred entrances, and form
trust in pearly gates and freeze out ST.
Peter himself if he didn't join the com.
pany. What sort Of a figure would oul
successful business men cut in q New
Jerusalem full Of angels, Milton?

New Years day, 1890, saw the compile
ton of an important work on Stsben
Island. The first train was run over the
the railway drawbridge that crosses
Arthur Kill from New Jersey to Staten
Island. This completes what is for
freight practically new through route
from the west. Grain and cattle cars
will come to the bridge, cross the Kill
and be run upon great pier at st.
George, on the north end of Staten Is
I;and. There they will be unloaded by
direct transfer of their freight TO steam
ships that await them at the pier Soon
the north end of Staten Island will be
transformed from a charming place of
residence to vast freight depot. The
Arthur Kill bridge is 800 feet long. The
draw span is 500 feet in length, mailing
It one of the longest draws in the wc9id.

Cleveland has done already what some
OF the large eastern cities are trying to
do, but somehow cannot succeed; that
is, changing the motive power for street
cars from horses to electricity. The
power is furnished mechanically from a
central station. Two cars are run to a
train, the trains can be run very close
together, and thus great crowd of pas
sengers can be easily handled, even in
the busiest parts of day.

The state of South Carolina appropri.
ates annually $4,000 to manual training
school for colored children at Claflin uni
versity. Ten times as much might wisely
be spent for the same purpose, if South
Carolina could afford it. To put a good
trade into the hands of any man, black
or white, is to arm him against foes from
within and without. More work and
less talk is what we want to settle all
Questions.
