Hudson would be. Ingalls, has the

served with him for many years.

Senator who ever heard tell Of ]. X.

out Q political home or influence in

ability descends to the plane Of
mediocrity when compared to that Of
Major Joseph X. Hudson, We must
favor him because he "knows the
ropss," and has the experience which
our hearts choice lacks. These and
other reasons compel MS to smother
our own feelings and favor Ingalls,

Table linen has never been Of the inn
portance that it is to-day. Less than a
hundred years ago country people spun
their own linen, and before that time
the dinner napkin was almost an un-
known luxury. AS late as 1868 the
amenities of the social board were so
imperfectly understood that in man
ual issued for the instruction of
'ladies" the following caution appears:
ga gentlewoman being at table, at
home or abroad, must observe to keep
her body straight, not to bend her ell
bows, nor smack her lips nor eat food
so hot that it will bring tears to her
eyes, nor drink hastily AS may be
imagined, the table covers and napkins
of to-day are works of art, of which the
housewife of one hundred years ago
had not dreamed. Pure, fine damaslz
is the chosen fabric for table linen.
Tints of yellow are introduced very
daintily through all-white embroidery
or the lacy draw work that is so popu-
lar. Small detached flowers are work
ed, as if strewn carelessly, over linen
surfaces in fine silk, care being taken
to reproduce as nearly as possible the
artistic Dresden coloring. - Chicago

Poisoned Air.

Alright bedrooms are among the
evils of civilization. We do not mean
to say they are quite air-tight, but they
come so near to it that health is much
impaired by sleeping in them. The
poorest economy is to have large, airy
parlors, and small, ill-ventilated bed
rooms; and yet nothing is more COM
mon. In the bedroom we spend from
seven TO eight consecutive hours-on an
average one-third part of our lives. A
person goes into one of those rooms
with the door closed. How long will
this air last him? Even if we suppose
the sleeping room TO contain one thou
sand cubic feet, it would last its occu-
pant two hours and a half. What is he
to breathe the other five or six hours9
Carbonic-acid gas-in other words, a
deadly poison. Though people do not
die from this cause, yet many of them
are suffering with dizziness, headache,
dyspepsia, and a host of kindred dis
eases induced by sleeping in such con-
tracted and ill-ventilated rooms

The French Coach Horse.
American Rural Home.

American Rural Home.
We are asked whether the French
Coach horse is an all-purp0se horse for
the farmers of this country and do
they breed with any regularity and
evenness upon the common stock of
mares. The French Coach horse,
from what we know of his character
istics and history is about as well
adapted to all-purpose horse as any
breed with which we are acquainted.
They are of good size, are strong, en-
ergetic and courageous, and would
walk off with plow, drill, cultiva-
tor, mower or harvester at rapid
pace. They would also, before the
wagon, haul out manure and in grain
or hay or potatoes and take them to
market as Quickly as any other horse
bred. And then when you wished
to go to town or to a neighbours or to
visit another neighborhood, in bug
gy, carriage or lumber wagon we
know of no other horse, unless it be
the trained trOtter, that would carry
you quicker and with less signs of
exhaustion. They are also gentle and
docile, hence less dangerous and
awkward than some breeds of hor>
ses.
In regard to their breeding with
evenness upon ordinary mares; hav-
ing been carefully bred under the
surveillance of the French govern
mentor about two hundred years, the
type must be pretty well fixed and
their prepotency would be likely to
cause their colts to resemble them
more than their dams.
We would recommend careful Sc
lection of breeding mares. We would
choose those with considerable good
blood in their veins and which pos,
sess characteristics such as you may
wish to perpetuate. We.have known
mares of no decided pedigree, that
were very estimable aS individuals
and that, through a long series Of
years, would foal colts that would
sell high onitheir own merits, wher
old enough for service. Such mares
you should select for breeding mares

Beating the Egg Tariff.

The Tombstone Prospector says:
Since the duty on eggs has been the
rule many devices have been thought
Of for manufacturing them. The
idea of Nogales man is, however,
the only feasible scheme up to date.
His proposition is to feed hens on the
cheap grain Of Mexico and have
them lay in the United States. For
this purpose long building will be
placed on the line, half in Mexico
half in the United States. They will
feed and water in the Mexican end,
and when they want to lay they &c
to the further end of the building,an
in that way escape paying the duty.
The projectors of this enterprise came
from Maine.
