what the feOpie are saying.
The people are growing more anx
ious every day over the approaching
city election.
No board of aldermen can compen-
safe for headstrong, willful mayor
Members of the council are apt to
leave the running of the affairs of the
city to the mayor, and to take from
him all things for granted.
The mayor and his clerks run things
to suit themselves, and finally run
the council.
The mayor should be q safe, pro-
gressive, business man, who would
permit the city council to do its own
legislation.
There should be no secrecy about
the city government, the people
should know ali about it.
There should be an end of the pres
emit condition of things. 1t should be
80 that an alderman would be as bold
in the council as on the street.
When an alderman gays. in bated
breath. sit won't do to stir up that
street block pavement job" but never
opens his mouth in the council, what
is he fit for?
When aldermen initiate the lion in
private, and are as quiet as mice in
the council chamber in the presence
of the Tom cat!
When one alderman says to an
other THAT pavement job should be
ventilated, the change in kind of
cement saves at least $4,000 to con-
tractor" and then the two keep mum
In the presence Of the King!
Good men, everyone of them, but
the whole business has got wrong. A
clean sweep is q necessity or our city
will be greatly damaged.
When the people come to elect
city auditor, he should be an account
ant.
The city secretary becomes o much
less important official under the new
charter, after the election of an audi
tor.
Besides the aldermen there are to
elected, a city auditor, attorney, mar.
shall, engineer, assessor, collector and
treasurer. The plums are worth
picking and the harvest day draws
near.
The Express hopes to get its 90
cents line mill grinding; so far it is
hard work. The little oil applied In

The Ski of the NOrsemen.

failed to discover among the tracks
of snowshoes in Central Park during the
deep snow any Indication that the
wooden snowshoe, or "ski" of the far
North is in use here 1t is marvellous
ly effective implement, if such it may be
called, upon the feet of him who is
skilled in its use. The ski may be eight
feet long, and it is usually from three to
four inches broad at the widest point.
Beneath the foot it is an inch thick, and
it tapers before and behind to a sharp
edge. In front it turns up almost ver-
tically for about an inch. The under
side is polished to the glibness of glass.
The wearers of the ski are called 'skilob-
ners." Their performances in Scandi-
nayia and Greenland are marvellous, and
recent explorer of the latter country says
it would have been almost impossible to
prosecute his work without the use of
the ski. Skilled skilobners make from
eight to twelve miles an hour, and dar-
ing ones sometimes takes leaps from sixty
to ninety feet long on sharp declivities
where the perpendicular descent is as
much as thirty feet.-Neso York Star.

GRAHAM ROLLS.

Mrs. Susanna Dodds gives the most
minute and accurate directions for a per-
feet gem, of which the following is an
abstract: Mix graham or whole wheat
flour, which, if very coarse, must first be
sifted, with ice cold water in the proper
ton of two thirds of pint of water to a
quart of flour; more wetting must be
used if the flour is very coarse. Stir fast
until a moderately stiff dough is formed,
and knead thoroughly from ten to fifteen
minutes, till the dough is fine and elastic
to the touch. Roll half of it at a time
into long rolls little over half an inch
in diameter; cut off and shape into rolls
three or four inches long and three-quar-
ters of an inch thick, to which no dry
flour is attached. Make them rapidly,
and place little apart in a pan; prick
them with fork and put the pan in a
hot oven. When done, they should not
yield to pressure between thumb.and fin
ger. They are to be eaten warm or cold,
and are just as good rewarmed as when
new To do this, dip in cold water, COW
er with cloth and set in a moderate oven,
when they will puff up lighter than at
irst.-BoSton CIltieator.

The Annoying Hang Nail.

Asmall and almost imperceptible hang
nail often involves the owner of the hand
which bears it in an endless amount of
annoyance and vexation. 1t is the gener-
81 rule that the nails that are the least at
tended are better than those that are cor
tinually doctored Manicure treatment
once week is about right. The man
who cuts hang nail in nine cases out Of
ten lays the way for much more vigor-
Gus successor. Satisfactory results are
almost always obtained by adopting the
habit of pushing the skin back from the
nail after washing the hands. The dry
end of the towel should be taken, and the
slin pressed book wherever it overruns
the nail. This breaks the adhesiveness
to the nail and makes hang mails im-
possible. Where the skin is allowed to
grow fast to the nail trouble invariably
results, because the nail in growing out
pulls the skin with it, and when it breaks
from the tension the hang g-nail is formed.

Largo Fee for Medical Attendance

Probably the largest fee for medical or
surgical attendance ever paid in New
York was the sum of 100000 to DIR.
Willard Parker, about fifteen years ago,
for an operation in wealthy family resi-
dent near New York. The case was one
of goitre, rare affliction in the United
States, at least among native Americans,
although far from uncommon in France
and Switzerland. From the side of the
face and the neck hung large feshy
sack, hideously disfguring and making
life a burden to the heir of several mil
lions. He carried the outgrowSh In a
black silken bag, which hid it from view,
but did not render less conspicuous the
fact of its presence. The young man ap-
pealed to the surgeons of highest reputa-
ton in France and London; but they
made an examination and concluded that
an operation would result fatally. Then
he turned to the well-known American
surgeon, who consented. 1t is said to
have been most arduous task of surgery.
But the patient lived, and without the
deformity. Under the circumstances the
fee does not appear to have been toe
large.
But if New York leading physicians
and surgeons receive large fees from the
rich, they more than make up for this
good fortune by free attendance on the
poor, not only at medical institutions but
also at the houses of PATIENTS Chicago

IN THE SUNSHINE.

In recent notice of the death of colored
man who had lived good life, it is said of
him, .He was cheerful man; a Christian
who loved the bright side, who walked in
the light and loved the sunshine The
bright side of life is the Christian side. The

cell his devotion may become superstition.
Ii would be better for him to go about doing
good. In the economy Of grace there is no
place for selhshness. | have been reading
about an army officer who was killed in bat
tie many years ago, leaving wife and sever
al children. Shortly after his death fear
ful scoarge carried offall his children. The
widow was left desolate and alone, but she

neighbors, she carried brightness into other
hearts and homes.
Bright homes make happy families. A
father who is ala avs stern and gloomy can

been well said that wherein our devotion

Occasional experience meetings in the
churches, if properly conducted, might do
much good. The troubled heart of the
friend who sits near you in the chapel might
be greatly comfOrted by the Knowledge Of
the way in which you found peace in time
of sorrow like unto his own. The wise man
said: ''Heaviuess III the heart of a man
maketh it stoop, but good word maketh it
gad.' In the epitaph of distinguished
bishop it is said of him; "Ie won all hearts
by opening to them his own"
The love shed abroad in his own heart
shone forth in his work and words, and won
souls to Christ ''Wisdom's ways are ways
of pleasantness." Light and gladness are
sown for the righteous and gladncss for the
upright in heart 4 good lady said to an
infidel: The Christian religion has saved
my husb nd from a drunkard's grave and

belief done for YOU -
The light which fills the soul of the believer
with gladness here is foretaste of the fu'-

FRENCH BREAD.

The secret of giving to French bread
its peculiar consistency is the repeated
leavenings to which it is subjected; the
first baking takes place about 2 or .
o'clock in the morning, some of the dough
being reserved to mix with new sponge;
as soon as the second batch is light still
some more of the sponge is reserved and
third baking started; so on until the
afternoon of the day is reached and the
demand for bread ceases. A little of the
last sponge is saved for the fresh batch
which will be set about midnight. The
repeated leavening and kneading of the
dough gives the very light and spongy
texture to the bread which no othel
variety possesses. Bakers yeast is used
to start the leaven.- Chicago Neaos.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If favoring is added to hot custard
4 part is lost.
Beating an egg with an egg beater can
never increase the bulk as when fork is
used.
When whitewashing your cellar add an
ounce of carbolic acid to each gallon of
wash before applying.
Apples will not freeze if covered with
linen cloth, nor custard burn if in
the oven with dish of water.
Warmed-over biscuits can hardly be
told from new ones if they are set dry in
close pan and covered while reheating.
Bent whalebones may be restored to
shape by soaking in warm water a few
hours, or by warming over lamp or
tire.
Before chopping suet be sure to take
out all the membrane, also have it quite
cold and dredge with flour before chop
ping.
A small box filed with lime and placed
on shelf in the pantry or closet will alb
sorb dampness and keep the air dry and
sweet.
Very thick cream should be whipped
with fork and then put into whip
churn. To mold whipped cream add
gelatine.
Never iron silk with a hot iron, as it
takes the stiffness out of it. If necessary
to press it, lay the piece of silk between
newspapers.
Wash straw mating with soap and
water and wipe very dry. Cane bottomed
chairs may be thus washed and dried in
the open air.
No kitchen should be without scales to
test the integrity of things purchased by
weight, and to measure the quantities of
various recipes.
A soothing application for burns is to
cover them with the white of au egg. It
forms a coating over the injured part and
protects it from the external air.
When using eggs once in while break
the ends carefully and save the shells for
little molds. Blancmange looks very
pretty served in this way for change.
To clean a carpet thoroughly sprinkle
salt over it, then sweep it well and it
will brighten the colors and will very
often make an old carpet look almost like

Everybody a Skin Breather.

A scientific gentleman OF Buenos Ayres,
NJ. Cobes, has discovered that all living
animals breathe through their skins as
well as through their lungs. Hypoder-
mic injections of oxygen into their skin
are taken up by the capillaries of the
system in the same manner as when oxy-
gen is breathed through the lungs. The
practical part of the discovery is that NJ.
Cobes thinks the hypsdermic respira-
ton will become of great use in lung
