scrape it up.
To fill unsightly nail holes in the walls
take one part plaster Of paris and three
parts of fine sand mix with cold water and
apply with a case-knife.
In sweeping first remove the furniture
that is not too large, cover up that which is
not removable and then run over the carpet
with the sweeper before using the broom.
In this way there is less dust.
1t is a most difficult matter to whiten
boards that have once become diScolOred
through having oil-cloth or linoleum laid
over them. The best method is to have
them scrubbed with three parts of common
white sand, mixed with one part of newly
Stacked lime.

NOTES..

Old gold and old rose are also among the
faVOrite new cOlorS.
Lace flouncing. chiefly Chantilly, will be
used to trim the most Of these fallle gowns
The reefer-coat with its double breasted
front and bright lining, is one of the styles
that remains.
Skirts will not have the dip in the
back 50 pronounced Us it has been, few of
the newest gowns doing more than to touch
the pavement in the back
For everyday wear, black Henrietta,
cheviot armure, camel's hair, etc, are
lightened with Il trimming of silk gimp, and
often u vest of black or lavender silk is
added.
At late Partisan wedding the bride wore
white satin edged with ruche of silk

The veil was of the same lace and was ar
ranged with coronet of tiny orange buds
standing erect.
That most coquetish of feminine belong
ings-the aprons again worn. 1t may be
made of silk or cotton: but, TO be entirely
fashionable, it must have positively
pointed bib, fastened on the bodice with a
tiny gold-headed pin.
Ribbons will continue to be much used
for garniture this autumn, applied in every
conceivable fashion, i'll single bows, in
knots, in punches, and as long streamers,
in the manner of braces or as epaulets, or
setting off the corsage in the outline Of
figures.
White ribbon tillets are still fancied in
the hair for evening A mode of arranging
the ribbon, little newer than that of the
tillet, consists in having it banded around
the hair and tied in small bow, with ends
on the left side of the head very close to
the center.
There is blackish copper color that be-
gins to be very prominent. IL is not pretty
in wooden goods, but in silk it is more toler-
able. 1t is called sou, because they named
it in Paris, and its tint is that of the copper
coin rubbed about in many pockets and
handled by many fingers.

HOUSEHOLD. =

Do any of our reaeers know woman
who seldom visits, but drops in at the bust
est time of the morning, utterly unmindful
of the inconvenience of the hour or the de-
lay her ill-timed visits occasion?
DO you9
Do you know also that she ofterer comes
to borrow than to be social, and do you feel
that the disorders of the house are all
noted, and will furnish food for gossip at
her next dropping-in place!
If you do, you know also the delay of her
going, for however much you may hasten to
lend, she delays the going until patience is
worn threadbare.
This woman is well meaning; she would
sit up with your sick night after night, and
yet she does not hesitate to spoil your din
ner or defraud you of the little rest you
could snatch between the meals. Finally,
as you follow her to the door, she fingers to
tell you of the neighbors and compels you
to stand until your quivering back and
limbs almost refuse longer to be tortured.
1t is small satisfaction to know that
such visitor brings on herself Just pun
ishment, that her own work is awry, and
that she is in herself working harm, fast
becoming what is known in old-fashioned
parlance as 'gad-about;" that however
amiable she may be naturally, time is likely
to make her veritable scandal-monger to
be feared and stunned
As to her borrowing propensity, there is
not much left to say. The persistent Dor
rover is little short of dishonest person,
and If the practice is long continued it be-
gets wonderful lack of true appreciation
OF the rights of another to that which their
labor has secured.
If women who would be home-makers in
the true sense would have the moral cour-
age to deny themselves to back-door
visitors, to have days for receiving calls,
and adhere firmly to them, they would save
themselves much annoyance and hurry

The supreme court of Michigan has by 4
recent decision practically given every man
4 right to half the earnings of his wife.
Human parasites will doubtless flock to a
state where they can draw their sustenance
from women's earnings, but women who be-
lieves in their rights will not be caught in
the snare. When I woman learns that she
can maintain herself she does not yearn for
man to support or to endow with even
half her worldly goods

ABOUT KILLING BAD MEN

There are two kinds Of courts in
this world in which men, who prey
upon the community, are tried. The
one is by law established and directed
by statutes; the other constituted by
outraged citizens, and governed by
the "higher law" whose only purpose
and limitation is self-preservation. In
the one, the rights of the indivldualare
supposed to be so entirely conserved
that a known and confessed criminal,
is accorded life and liberty because Of
a slip of a clerks pen, or inattention to
some mere matter Of form. In the
other, vengeance is swift and sure; the
court is at once judge, jury, attorney
and executioner, and the debate is
only about the certainty of the indict-
ed mans guilt. That question once
settled, there is neither bubble nor
appeal.
To be sure, Judge Lynch has made
mistakes. Humanity is fallible. And
it is just as certain that Judge Lex
has made a thousand times as many,
not only in letting the william loose on
technicalities, but in putting to
death innocent men and women, and
sending human beings to the scalfold
for populations which popular court
would punish with warning. 1t is
not yet hundred years ago that a sol
der who had been pressed into the SER
vice, was fighting England's battles on
the continent, and his wife was starv-
ing in London. The poor woman, with
a babe at her breast, was melted by
the pangs of hunger to steal four
penny loaf of bread from bakers
shop, and for that crime she was
hanged at Tyburn six days thereafter.
On the other hand, some years ago a
resident of New York city assassin
ated, In a most cowardly manner, a
prominent man, and, today, the MUIR
derer is respected and courted citi-
zen. Instances as extreme, of injus-
tice in action and injustice in inaction,
might be cited until the hand wearied
of writing and the eye Of reading.
The fact Of the matter is, that this
taking Of human life is all wrong; as
criminal In the community, either or
ganized by statute or assembled by
sudden wrath. as in the individual in
cited by passion. The only punishment
there is in legal revenge for infraction
of the written law, is the agony Of
mind of the condemned, which he suf-
fers between sentence and execution.
The mere killing Is not punishment.
Every man must die, and hanging
may not even be an anticipation Of the
time Of death; it may be asserted with
the force OF an axiom that there have

The owner of the wrecked buildings
in Park Place, New York, wants to
shift the responsibility of the terrible
disaster to the shoulders of the litho-
graphers, whose heavy presses were
pounding away in the fourth story

Our Democratic friends can not gel
over the stern and glazing fact that
Benjamin Harrison is the brainiest
man in the presidential chair since the
days of the venerated George and the
canonized Thomas. And so they have
nothing to do but to get mad about IL
and abuse the man they cannot ar
raign. 1t is the case over again of the
angry boy kicking the barn. "Let

the HERALD, with affection and deep
concern, and with whatever spirit is
akin thereto, suggests to the esteemed
News the consideration OF that beati-
tude which has been interpreted,
Blessed is he that expecteth nothing;
for he shall not be disappointed"
1t is probable that so far as the lie
publican party's nominations are con-
cerned, however, the News editor has
been writing against space" there
fore, TO that extent will do itself but
little harm. But in parceling around
among its Democratic aspirants and
ambitious ones, mentioning some and
overlooking others, it is stepping on
dangerous ground and will shortly be-
gin to hear suggestions that it is get
ting to be altogether "too smart, " ana
it will get unanimously slapped for
anticipating the Democratic conVen-
lions with a forthwithness too sudden
and anterior.
As to the Republican party, 1T Will
be able to select its candidates with
out any difficulty whatever, and with
out even so much as calling into requi-
sition the assistance Of the very
accommodating News. AS to the
Democratic party, as before limited, II
is mostly composed of candidates in
this state and it should be handled
daintily by Democratic papers. How
ever. as the HERALD is not a Demo
cratic paper, it may be chided for Of
| fering advice on that subject, which,
with good warrant might be classified
"gratuitious."
The suggestion that such and such
things must be, because the Republl'
cans in the last legislature found that
they could not gerrymander the state
etc, >" is not generous, for the reason
| that the legislature made no attempt
to gerrymander the state. But where
the News speaks of a possibility of the
next legislature being Democratic
and plumes itself thereon, Is
where it is fooling itself badly
There is no more danger of this part
of the horror-scope Detailing than
there is of the stars falling, and the
sweet JUNCTION that the News takes tt
its soul that even in the event of The
capture" of the legislature by the
Republicans, Senator Allen may b.
displaced by Democrat; is more Of
less amusing. 1t is news, though
from the News, that Senator Allel
has "bitter enemies already at worl
on both sides of the mountains" to dc
feat him. But, were this true, hoy
that could signify that there is an
intention of his enemies, whom tn
News says are Republicans, to defea
him with a Democrat, is anothe
peculiar phase of this appalling hon
horoscope.

One of those anomalies which peri
odically arise to astonish wise men, is
the fight the free traders are making
against reciprocity. Stimulate for
eign trade means with them, nothing
more nor less than opposition to the
Republican party. Free trade is as
impossible as it is absurd. The numb
skulls do not know that the United
States under its protective tariff col
lected, in 1890, 1929, 66S,5S5 customs
duties, and that "free trade England"
so-called, collected nearly half as
much, viz: 600, 2O7 ,4S8, or something
over 800, 100000. So when the admin
istratiOn inclines to favor the free
trade" idea, as much as possible OF
sagacious, and call it reciprocity"
the kickers howl and the howlers kick
Consistency is truly jewel, but the
free trade kind is decidedly pasty.

been lots Of men hanged In the world,
after a period Of Imprisonment, who,
had they been at large would have
died a natural death or met violent
one months before their necks felt
the Tightening of the moose. The act
of heroic dying, or Of taking the leap
into the dark with calm stoicism, is
common to saint and sinner, to civil
lied and savage man. Some OF the
blackest-hearted, most abandoned,
crime-stained wretches who ever lived
have gone out on the scaffold, stood on
the drop, made their little speeches
without a culver Of voice or muscle,
and gone into eternity, rather relieved
than otherwise, at the change from
prison cell to universal elbOw-room.
Few deaths or death-bed scenes are
painful or narrowing.
The way to deal with criminals is to
shut them up for life; and to i'm
prisonment, as cruel as it seems, to add
the silent system, such as is in vogue
in Moyamensing. There is punish
ment, vengeance and communal safety
all combined in the fiercest manner.
"Td rather die dozen times, than go
through four years more OF that, said
the noted bank robber, Jimmy Hope,
on his release from the Pennsylvania
penitentiary. III the convicted man is
locked up, and kept alive, there is a
chance for the law to undo its work, If
perchance, as frequently happens, it is
discovered a mistake has been made,
and the onus of crime been laid on the
wrong man.
Eight of the states OF the Union
have abolished capital punishment;
and statistics indicate pretty clearly
that the prospect of perpetual i'm
prisonment is more terrible to habitual
criminals than the threat Of hanging,
qualified by resources of new trials,
and appeals to higher courts and
executive clemency.

The leading financier OF America
has been found. His name is John
Callahan, and his achievement con
sists in having saved $4,000 from his
hard-earned knOcking-down of fares on
the Hamilton, Ont, street railway, on
which he was an old and persistent
conductor To untiring and punctual
attendance on his daily toll, he added
scrupulous economy, and conscientious
abstinence from the loose and careless
methods which vicious indulgence al
ways inculcates. What an admirable
lesson for the rising generation! What
a sermon on frugality, temperance
and strict attention to business. True,
he only amassed $4,000, and is in Jail,
while Jay Gould has amassed five
thousand times as many dollars by an
nexing other peoples money, and is
an honored and respected citizen; but
the lesson of life, barring the minor
element of integrity, is there, all the
same.
