KITCHEN NOTES.

A large earthen bowl should always be
used for stirring cake in.
A rug under ones feet is restful when
long standing is necessary, as in ironing,
or in washing dishes.
II the kitchen table has no casters buy
a set and put them on. It is not a diff
ficult matter and will save a deal Of
strength.
Clocks are too cheap for the tire1
housewife to spend her time and strength
in running from the kitchen to some
other room to consult one.
Pieces of pasteboard, with holes an
inch in diameter by which to hang them
on convenient hook, are excellent for
placing under hot cooking dishes. Or,
lacking this, old wrapping and news
papers answer every purpose.
If the range stands near corner of
the room have two slabs fastened across
the corner, three or four feet apart, for
holding dish towels in rainy weather Qor
they should always be hung in the sun
when it shines), stove-c cloths and the
like.
A Irvine bag, with pair of shears
hanging conveniently near, should be
found in every kitchen. 80, too, should
a pincushion and small mirror. One can
easily find time to give becoming touch
to their toilet before going to the dining
table that would not be given if COM
PEELED to go to ones chamber or the
bathroom.
The dampness and Embellishments
of an under cupboard such as one finds In
nearly all old-style kitchens, can be
renedied by boring numerous holes in the
front and end with an inch auger and by
keeping a can filled with unslaked Inns
on a shelf inside. The holes can be
made IN q geometrioal design and detract
in no way from its looks.
If sink reaches to a corner Of room
a bracket shelf fastened at a Convenient
height in the corner is handy for holding
those numerous time-and -strength saving
materials which the wise worker pro.
vides herself; namely, sapolio, pearline,
borax and vegetable brush. II room Is
wanting, screw hooks can be put in the
underside Of the shelf to hold the wire
dishcloth, soap-shaker, etc.
Sha0es ana spring rollers are too
cheap not to be found in every kitchen.
And if they are placed four inches below
the window casing good ventilation can
be secured and the windows darke1e1 at
the same time. Any woman VINO can
use a hammer aud screw-driver can
easily adjust them. 1t is scarcely less
difficult to put up shelf with the iron
brackets which can be pur chased for 6
trifing sum at any hardware store, and
one back of the stove will save untold
steps,, american Agricultural.

A DASTARDLY DEED.

A Purposely Misplaced Switch Sends
an Express Train to Destruction.
Five persons were killed and fifty or sixty
injured in a wreck at o'clock in the morn
ing on the Burlington road, at Monmouth,
Ill. The Omaha and Denver fast express
ran into an open switch, and the entire
train was thrown from the track.
Engineer Emerson and the travelling en-
gineer of the road, who had gone into the
cab before the wreck, were killed outright.
A lady passenger was found pinioned under
the trucks of the sleeper. She had evidently
been hurled through a window by the crash.
Her body was crushed. Near her were man
and woman, both dead. under the sleeper.
The train consisted of three sleepers, two
coaches one smoker, one baggage, one e1-
press and two mail car. The train was
speeding at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour when it reached the open switch.
The officials of the road say the cause OF
the accident was malicious displacement OF
a switch. The switch was found after the
wreck partly thrown and the Din out

SpiritualIstic Phen0mana.

Mr.. Slade, the medium who some years
ago made quite a sensation in New York
through his epiritualistic manifestations,
will make his first appearance in this city
Sunday night, Sept. 9th, at Ming's Opera
houss. All agree that this seance is extra
ordinary to H degree remarkable, unexcelled
by any seance OF the kind before the public.
SIade leaves his audience free to draw their
own Inference as to the motive force of his
manifestations, neither claiming, AZ some
do, to have the aid of supernatural powers,
nor contrasting that be is alone dependent
upon his own exertions and dexterity. 'If
/ do not have invisible aid, pray
tell me- how / do these thinas?5
A highly nervous, but bright. in
telliaent gentleman, he seems to
be without powers to do one-half
the feats that are made a regular part of his
seance. AT the opera house Sunday night
the akeptical may be presented with liberty
to subject the gentleman to any reasonable
test and free to detect what they can. A
small admission fee will be charged to de-
fray expenses.

WOMEN'S

O~
Among tho economic and scientific
gatherings of the year, the meetings of
the British association have always occu-
pied an honorable place and commanded
the tribute Of respectful attention.
Their good name has been we'll merited.
The standard throughout has been uni
formly high. In the first place, the as
ISOLATION has always been able to rally
round it's standard groups of highly
distinguished men, men whose reputa-
tions as specialists are worldwide. With
these intellectual suns shedding light
in the armament of the associations
meetings, it is a natural consequence
that many men of lesser effulgence are
prompt to place themselves IN position
to take advantage of their rays. Again,
the subjects under discussion have gen
enrally been of pressing, and frequently
OF international, Importance. The repu-
tation of the leaders in the various sec
tions has always been a guarantee for
original thinking and a promise Of prac-
teal results.
This years convention does not seem
to have been an exception to the general
rule, but in the case Of one discussion.
at least, we must confess to a feeling Of
disappointment. When the association
undertook to throw the light of its col
lective wisdom upon the subject Of the
"alleged differences in the wages paid to
men and women for similar work" it
entered upon a fruitful field. The sub
ject is n Of supreme Importance to the
world Of labor, and it does not seem too
much to expect from the association
some valuable contributions to the liter
ature of the grievance. But the verbal
threshing was rich only in straw. The
historian of the future will search IN
vain the records of the gathering for
any practical outcome or aver for valu-
able suggestions.
The phrasing Of the subject, to begin
with, was ambiguous. Did the author
tiles of the association mean to cast anv
doubt upon the actual existence of q
d~isproportion, where they spoke of the
"allegca differences" On the face of
the subject heading, hat would seem to
have been their meaning. But, as actual
fact, the difference in many occupations
is matter beyond dispute. As type
writer's, teachers, clerks, women habitu-
ally receive less than mon employed in
the same occupations. If that was not
the meaning intended to be conveyed,
We are forced to the belief that the in
dividual VINO drew up the subject for
discussion was already SO far ~prejudiced
in favor Of the male sex that he be-
lieved that women were not capable of

WOOL N SHEET.

In his speech at Butte the other
night Congressman Bynum is reported
to have said, "The largest herds OF
sheep are being sold off; the farmer
finds 1t Improbable industry to raise
them" The Benton River Press, in
commenting on this statement says:
That may do to toll in Butte, but in Fort
Benton we are not entirely prepared to
accept it. When it ls remembered that
only the highest prices can induce our
sheep men to part with their tlecks; that
nearly all the sheep sold here go to Dawson
county and North Dakota to parties who
wish to embark in the industry; that
the price of Montana sheep is higher
than it has been for years past, and that
the demand for sheep is so great that $4,000
or 10000 OF them placed on the market
would be quickly bought UP by sheepmen
in this vicinity alone; with these facts in
mind we feel unwilling to indorse the state
ment of the learned gentleman from lndi-
ana.
The Inter Mountain in calling atten-
ton to this comment of it's democratic
contemporary adds, perhaps the Miner
or Standard or Independent would like
to wrestle with the above" Why GER
talnly. Mr.. Bynum was speaking OF
the wool industry of the entire country
and not of Montana alone, and his
statement was absolutely correct. In
his speech in Spokane last night he
spoke more explicitly or that point. He
,bor,oJ br +ho ,p3o;ol c&otio+;oo that
not only had the price of domestic wool
deprecated as the result of a high
tariff, but that the number of sheep had
diminished, while in free wool countries
the number had remained stationary or
increased. In 1867, when the duty was
raised on wool the price went down.
The duties we're increased by the Nc
Kinley bill and Ohio wool that sold last
year for "a cents a pound is now quoted
at 90 and 81 cents. In 1884 there were
100000 head of sheep in the United
States; in 1886 this number had shrunk
by nearly 100000, and on January l,
1889, the total number in the entire
country was a little over 39,00O,O0 How
was it in other countries? In 1885
France had 22,60O,0o0 sheep and in 1887
22.800,0oo, an increase of 100000 head.
Wool in France is duty free. In that
country there are n hundred sheep to
square mile while under the highest
protection ever known there are not
fourteen sheep to the square mile in the
UnitAd Statea. and the numher ia Iii
minishing. The River Press and the
Inter Mountain should know that the
conditions Of sheep growing are excepti-
onally favorable in Montana and Dakota,
and that in the older settled states the
industry is everywhere languishing.

Could paternalism in government go
further than a recent enactment of the
Maine legislature, which provides shat
in case one or both eyes of an infant

of it to report the matter at one to a

The reason is very plain. The republi-
cans, or rather Boss Platt, for there is
no republican party in New York out
side of Boss Plat, forced the fighting
on state issues. The brutal and un-
called for personal attack made by Platt
upon Gov. Hill left the democrats no
alternative but to accept the challenge.
They made their W platform purely
on state issues. The democratic position
is clearly stated by Mr.. Rosendale, the
democratic nominee for attorney general,
in these words: "Our platform as
adopted by the Saratoga convention
takes pains to emphasize and make
prominent the fact that this is a state
campaign pure and simple. There is no
national ticket in the field, no federal
officers to be elected this fall, therefore
the only question is what kind of an ad-
ministration shall we choose for the
state" We make no doubt that Boss
Platt wishes he had not forced his party
upon this ground, for the affairssof the
state of New York, under the seven
years of Gov. Hills tenure of office, have
been administered honestly, wisely and
economically, Platt's bossism has re-
suited in disaster after disaster to the
republicans ever since he has bean at
the head of the machine, with the single
exception of the presidential election Of
1888, when Boss Quay bought the state
with John Wanamaker's 100000.
Platt's man, Fassett, will be beaten
anywhere from 10000 to 10000 votes
this veal,
