A writer has defined dirt as matter
out of place." This applies with double
force to the, grease of the kitchen,
which is too often allowed to accumu-
late on the sides of the sink and on
dishes. Property used this grease is in
valuable in making soap. By cuttdng
the grease in the sink and on the dishes
by the use of some very powerful alkali
like potash or soda, we make a. sub
stance. which. if not a SOAP. contains
the component parts of soap, and at once
assists as cleansing agent. A keg of
washing soda" should always be on
hand near the sink 80 that a. little water
with lump of soda may be thrown in
greasy spiders ,orgriddles, or in any 9TH
err utensil that has become greasy from
cooking. After few moments boiling
all the grease isseaten up by the alllali,
and when the mixture is thrown down
the sink, it actually acts, as a means of
cleansing instead of choking up the pipe
with grease. Gridirons should be. thor
oughly scrubbed with brush-aa COM
mon whisk does, very well-in boiling
hot soda and water. Grease spots on
the stove should be washedi Off. where
they occur. with a stove. cloth dipped
in soda and water.-N. Y. Tribune.

with the ''Fat fund?'' Does he want
the country to know how and why w.
w. Dudley was kept out of Jail?
His proposal that if he is not to be
trusted to appoint such commission
the appointing power can be vested in
the supreme court is made In face of
the experience the country had in 1885,
when the supreme court showed itself
as Extensively and as outrageously par
tisan as any ward caucus OF the lowest
political heelers. If we are to have a
force bill in this country, by all means
let the supreme court be kept out CT
the work of passing it.
Mr.. Harrison has practiced law #
he is lawyer he knows that nothing is
judicially more indecent than for
judges to pass on law they have been
instrumental in making. Yet he pro-
poses in a message which is to remain
forever of record that the supreme
court. by proxies of its appointment.
should take action to be afterwards
passed on by itself as court if the
proposed action is confirmed as enact
ment.
This may not be as palpably indecent
as it is for the political creature of the
blocks-of-hve system to assume supe-
rior virtue, but it is characteristic of
Benjamin Harrison's utter lack of the
sense OF fitness. St Louis Republic

A WAGGISH PRESIDENT
Clever Turning of Phrases by the Repnb-
Iican Jonah.

Clever Turning of Phrases by the Repnb-
Iican Jonah.
President Harrison has not hereto
fore been regarded as man of satirical
turn of mind. He has achieved, on the
contrary, the reputation OF being
serious to the verge at times Of dull
ness; and no one even of his bitterest
critics would have ventured to speak
of him as sly or ''droll' or '1wag-
gish." Yet it is apparent from his re-
cent message that he has a. reservoir
somewhere in the depths of his intel
lectual system OF the dryest kind of
satirical humor.
All through the discussion of the Nc
Kinley act it will be remembered the
president insisted with the author of
that measure that the demand for
eheapness in the necessaries, of life
was unworthy the people of great,
strong, free nation; and that the mis-
taken ones who were making the de-
mand were unworthy, not only of the
blessings they had enjoyed but of the
more transcendent ones which the Nc
Kinley act contemplated showering on
them. In q moment of inspired en-
thusiasm for the protective policy he
| cheap coat argues u cheap man under
the coat and a good many people
who had no sort of idea what he meant
accepted the phrase as the highest
mbodiment of political wisdom -
| though it is not recorded that they
| went around thereafter seeking for
| high-priced clothes.
| Measuring by these facts in Mr.
Harrison's career the remark in his
| message that 1.-The tariff act of the Fiji
| ty6rst congress is very favorable in
| its average effect upon the prices OF
articles entering into common use.
| one sees what a mad wag he is. His
| party friends have been insisting that
| the tariff has not raised prices, but has
| really lowered them; and the president
| cannot openly contradict them. In his
| dry way, however, he does contradict
them and preserves his consistency. He
| knows that the average effect" of the
Mckinley tariff upon articles enter
ing into common use" has been to raise
their price. This effect upon the ''cheap
coat theory he naturally regards as
very favora ble;' because it prevents
the people who use the articles from
becoming cheap" men and women, as
they would if the prices were lowered
by the Mckinley act. With every APP
pearance of frankness he says just
what he means; but he knows very
well-the sly fellow-that most OF those
who read his message will understand
him to mean that prices have been re-
duced. He has probably been chuck
ling to himself for the past few days
over the neatness with which he turned
that phrase about favorable effect
so as to make it harmonic with his
campaign utterances and still not
prick the current protectionist pre-
tense as to the operations of Mckinley
| ism.-Detroit Free Press.

SECRETARY FOSTERS REPORT.
A Patched-Up Affair That Reflects Dis
credit ON the Administration.

A Patched-Up Affair That Reflects Dis
credit ON the Administration
The annual report of the secretary
of the treasury is little more than a
piece of patchwork made up from bu-
reau reports. The secretary makes no
serious attempt to discuss the ques-
tions OF absorbing public interest with
which an American finance minister
might be expected to deal at this time
the silver question, the question of
national bank circulation and the
tariff question. He has nothing what
ever to offer on the silver question:; in
regard to national bank circulation he
merely repeats and approves of the
suggestions made by the comptroller
of the currency, and what he has to
say about the tariff is a disgrace to
the official literature of the country
and an insult to the intelligence of the
people. Altogether. it is the least
creditable document that has emanat-
ed from the treasury department with
in the recollection of men of three
score years.
In the formal statements and esti-
mates with which the report opens
there are variations from the usual
form partly for the better and partly
for the worse. A variation for the bet
ter consists in the introduction of a
tabular exhibit of the increase and de-
crease in expenditures in the different
branches of the public service for the
last fiscal year as compared with the
year before, going into details with
sufficient minuteness to convey a good
deal of information. Another varia-
ton for the better consists in the intro
duction of a detailed statement of the
manner in which $134, ga, 635 was APP
piled during the year to the reduction
of the public debt. On the other hand,
a variation for the worse consists in
the omission of the usual statement of
receipts and expenditures for the first
quarter of the current year, with esti-
mates for the remaining three-quar-
ters. Instead of this we have an esti-
mate, with very little detail for the
whole of the current year, followed by
lures for next year.
The secretary figures out a surplus of
S24, 600, 900 for the current year. taking
no account of the sinking fund, and for
next year, again taking NO account of
the IunO, ne eSu1LndteS IL
plus of STA, 036, 257- There is no sep
arate estimate of the sums which will
be required for the payment of sugar
bounties and ship subsidles-items of
considerable public interest just at
this time. In order to make out his
surplus the secretary estimates the
customs revenue for this year at $751;
600, 900, although the actual receipts
for the first five months have been at
the rate of only about $40, 100000 for
the year II that should prove to be
the correct figure, Mr.. Fosters surplus
would be cut down to $4,000, 600, as
Stunning that his estimate is correct in
other respects. His estimate of Gus
toms revenue for next year is S195, 00O,
900, which must be at least SIS 100000
too high, Judging from actual receipts
under the new tariff. With this cor
rection his entire estimated surplus,
and a million more with it, for 1893
vanishes. Chicago Herald

Collars and BOas.

Fewer boas appear, now that coat and
cloak collars are fur-lined and cut SD
high. In appearance, however, such
collars are far less becoming than the
soft furry or feathery boa which forms
such picturesque and charming frame

the long ends imparting height and
style The new muffs are certainly
larger, and also far less protective.

year. An attempt has been made again
to reinstate ermine in public favor for
certain uses, but with little success

Promise of Progress in the Direction
of Tariff Reform.
Speaker Crisp could have taken no
other means SO effectually to inspire
the confidence of the party than by a
prompt statement that his own nomina-
ton and the defeat of Mr.. Mills must
not be regarded as check to tariff re-
form. Immediately upon his nominal
ton, Mr.. Crisp, in his few words of
thanks, said;
I beg to say to you now. as I speak to you
my first words since I am your selection for
speaker, that my election means no step back
ward in tariff reform. beg to say to you that
there is in our party to-day no man who more
earnestly believes in the democratic doctrine
OF tariff reform than do
The democratic party, the people of
the country, look TO the aiority OF
the Fifty-second congress to take pos
tive steps in advance toward a reduc-
ton OF tariff taxation. No negative
halt will meet public expectation.
Furthermore, it is expected that the
work of tariff reduction shall be prompt
during the session SO that the voters of
the country may have ample opportu-
nifty to understand how the party
proposes. to apply concretely its
principle. 1t will not be pos
sible to pass general tariff bill
to supersede the Mckinley act, desira-
BILE though such a measure undoubted-
ly would be, for between the house and
such an enactment stands a republican
senate and a republican president
armed with the veto power. But in
1878 it was not possible to pass the
Mills bill, yet the party properly framed
that measure and submitted it as the
embodiment of its belief It is equally
incumbent now upon She party to
frame a general bill and submit it to
the country. Such measure need not
and should not stand in the way of the
enactment of Individual measures to
correct the worst of the specific abuses
of the taxing power which Mckinley
ism has,infiicted upon the country.
The democratic party will take
Speaker Crisp at his word 1t will look
to him in the appointment of his COM
mittees and in the exercise of his con-
troll over legislation to- promote tariff
reduction by general and specific bills
and to make tariff reform the issue of
the present session of congress. In
separa bly, connected with tariff reduc-
ton are frugal expenditures, for if the
amount of taxation is to- be reduced, of
course, outlay must be. enrtailed.-Al-

Taking Cold Next to. the Wallis.

In sitting next to the outer wall of a
brick house, one often feels as if a
current of air was blowing upon his
neck. A little air may come through
the pores but in the majority Of cases.
it is not wind which he feels, bat that
the cold. wall causes the air of the
room to, fall with a sensation of
draught. AS the air is, heated. it rises
and floats out into, the room, but
when it strikes the wall, it is chilled
and falls, The same thing is. often OBJ
servable, when sitting by a. window,
and may be the means of taking cold.

room may be readily determined by
the floating of a feather Or a bit of
thistle. down.-Dr. j. FL. Kellogg, in a
