'How many Republicans" asks the
Salina Republican, "did Grover Cleveland
appoint to Office during his term as
PRESIDENT" None, chat we heard Of,
Nevertheless, it is remembered that the
first and greatest grievance his own
party men had against him during his
administration was that he did not turn
Republicans out fast enough and make
the sweep clean enough to suit their
notions. And it is also remembered, in
this connection, that there are some
thing like two hundred and seventy-fve
Democrats still in presidential appointive
positions. So you see this question is
like the darkeys weapon, sit cuts
agwine and acomin'."

Tho Methodist church extant has been
engaged the past week in celebrating the
centenary of the death of John Wesley,
the founder of that great evangelical
society. In view of the great service he
performed for the Christian world it
strikes us that demonstrations would be
more appropriate in commemoration of
his birth than of his death. This morn
ing's dispatches give an account of an
imposing ceremonial in Chicago, Thurs
day night, in that behalf.

This talk about the president issuing a
proclamation declaring the American
ports closed against German imports un-
less that government shall remove the
embargo placed upon certain American
products, sounds schoolboyish. Before
doing SO rash an act, if be indeed con-
templates it, the president should give
Mr.. Blaine chance to try his reciprocity
scheme on the Teutons: if that won't
fetch EN- to terms, then try the bluff
game. But the administration should
keep it in mind that the Germans are
playing at our game, and arrange its
kick accordingly.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Ornamental Lattice Work. Useful for
Screens. Etc, Made with Reglet Sticks.
A comparatively new material utilized
by amateur home decorators is the regiet
stick. Reglet sticks, it may be we'll to ex-
plain, are thin strips of cherry or pine,
whose proper purpose is best understood
by those initiated into the mysteries OF
the printers art.
Good Housekeeping tells how to make
very pretty lattice work of these reglet
sticks by weaving them together at regular
intervals, in sort of basket work. The
thlnnest reglet sticks are but little moro
than sixteenth of an inch thick, mere
ribbon of wood, and they range from that
width to quite substantial strips of wood.
Their length is three feet. The thin sticks
are very pliable and easily handled, and
the veriest novice in carpentry can succeed
IN making pretty lattice work. The pen
spaces over transoms can be filled in with
this lattice work. and if there is a window
where it is desirable to obstruct the view
without shutting out the light, then this
plan is particularly desirable. In The case
of an alcove in the hall, the ceiling was too
high to make it desirable that curtain
should be hung from pole near the top
or the wall, and so pretty lattice work OF
these reglet sticks was constructed, about
three feet ia depth. and from it the curtain
depended.
A pleasing variety can be secured by
using alternately strips of cherry and pine,
or by staining the strips 20 represent diff
terent woods The basket work can be
varied by two TRANSVERSE strips run over
and urdcr tie upright cnes. and the angle
can be made more or less acute, according
70 the taste OK :he designer.
The width and depth of the place where
the lattice is 70 be placed should first be
definitely determined, and then the strips
cut tie right length They will |
keep their place after they have been woven !
together, and need only be secured at the |
ends b. being fastened to light frame |
with small hnshing nails.

ments. At the Wisconsin station the
food required to produce 100 pounds OF
wether lamb was 3S4 pounds of corn, 296
pounds corn silage, 1853 pounds corn fod-
der and q pounds potatoes. To produce
100 pounds on the steer required 1894
pounds Of corn, ISL pounds bran and 654
pounds silage. The results showed that
silage was also an excellent food for the
sheep as well as for the steer.
1t is the duty of every landowner to
set out trees and vines, and in this age
thelr cost cannot be urged, for never IN
the history of commercial tree growing
mas nursery stock been so cheap as at the
present time. Indeed, it is serious
question If it is not too cheap, that is, il is
SOLD at o price too near the cost of produc-
tlon, and we venture the prophecy that
in the near future prices viii advance;
al the more reason, therefore, that we
should plant while stock is cheap.
Even the bees make the quality of their
honey according to the kind of food or
flowers from which it is procured. Emil
nent authorities on bee culture state that
when bees are fed scorched honey the
honey in the combs did not differ there
from. The same results occurred when
granulated honey was fed to the bees.
Honey can, therefore, be adulterated in
the combs. Glucose, when fed to bees, is
deposited In the combs as glucose and it
mas long been known that certain flowers
produced honey of a superior quality to
that derived from others.
Dairymen are beginning to awaken to
the fact that, in the long run, it is best to
make first-class, full cream cheese, and
by so doing stimulate the consumption
through the public taste. The manufact-
ure OF poor cheese may pay for while.
but the public taste soon revolts against
such an article, and the consumption is
curtailed, and the evident fraud reacts
upon the heads of the manufacturers. 1t
is always best to be honest, and put an
honest article Of any kind on the market,
and especially of cheese and butter.
For the best one sign of good cow we
regard that of being so built that when in
milk portion of her udder can be seen
behind her legs, as side view is taken.
The more there is to be seen the better;
and If at the same time the udder comes
forward so as to cover goodly por-
ton of the belly, she then can be, and
quite likely viii be, copious mixer.
But before very big price is paid for her
the quality of her milk should be tested.
and If the buyer is particular she should
be OF the breed he is most interested in.-

Total gained by purchasers. .S192, SO OF

In addition to the full sets of readers
sold, considerable gains have been made
in the sale of partial sets, but as the State
readers are not graded like other readers,
being complete in three books, an accu-
rate computation cannot be made of the
gains on partial sets.
When it is remembered that these gains
have been made on books running an av-
erage of but two and half years, and
that the series is not yet complete, the ar
gument in favor of the comparative
cheapness of the State series is unanswer-
able and conclusive.
