Dish Washing Made Nice.

While we are Oh this vulgar, but most
highly respectable, topic let me say to
those ladies who do themselves the honor
of attending to their own homework, and
consequently have it lone by ladies us to
ladies' taste, that there is no need of spoil
ing hands by ever so much dish washing if
the right care is taken. 1t is the scalding
water, the hard water, bad soap and hnsty
half drying which makes hands coarse. A
little soda, half a teaspoonful or less to Il
gallon of water warm enough to heat the
china well but not parboil the hands, and
decent soap, not the strong kitchen bar
which ruins skin wherever it touches, still
less as some would-bc refined women adj
wise toilet soap for this operation. The
notion of scented SOAP in dish washing
would bar the use of it forever from most
toilets.
The white cotton oil soaps in which we
are sure Of clean oil and no more alkali
than is needed, and which sell as cheaply
as any, should be used for china and light
washing.
All stronger cleansing should be man
aged with a mop with handle fifteen to
eighteen inches long, which Il few of the
best furnishing stores have the sense to
sell, and which keep hands and dress ef-
%fectually from injury while doing the
work with speed and sureness.-Shirlev

CHICAGO, April 10.-It seems now that
Ex-Mayor Harrison and his friends have
come to the conclusion that he has a
chance in the contest for mayoralty.
Adoph Kraus, the manager of Harrison's
campaign, claims to have evidence that
many votes cast for his candidate were
improperly set down. At a meeting
this afternoon of the personal rights
league, an organization which supported
Harrison's candidacy, it was resolved
to raise a fund to prosecute all persons
found guilty of wrong doing at the cleo
ton, and it was further decided to call a
mass meeting of citizens to take action
IN the matter.

REARING S~HORTHORNS.
What Il Veteran English Breeder Has to.

What n Veteran English Breeder Has to.
Say About 1t.
John Handley, of Greenhcad, West

cessful breeders and exhibitors in Eng

If were starting a new herd of Short

females that l could lay hold of, COM

tiles, making doubly sure they We're of a
good, sound constitutional family. We
breeders must endeavor to produce g.
good milking Shorthorn, and when dry
a cow that will quickly get fat. 1 be-
lieve we have Shorthorns in this district
that combine, rs a rule, the milking and
feeding properties in a way that no
other breed of cattle in the world can.
equal.
AS to the selection of a male Short
horn as a sire for stock purposes gener-
ally, am always particular TO try to.
obtain an animal with the best individ-
ual merit; | always hesitate to use a bull
unless he is descended from a good milk
ing family. His dam ought to have a
good sized and nicely shaped udder, and
his grandam also. During the last ten
or fifteen years I have used bulls de-
scended from the champion Royal En-
glish blood. If any person asks me.

state that have had the pleasure of U.s.
ing in the Greenhead herd of Shorthorns
something like ten Royal and Highland

winners during the last ten years. My
motto in buying a male animal for herd
purposes is, buy the best animal I can
lay hold of descended from good milk
and beef producing parents, giving fash
ionable and line breeding only a second
airy consideration.
In breeding Shorthorns of the present
day, when fashion and line breeding are
fast dying out Of date, it is good looking
and strong constitutional and robust
animals that breeders must try and
breed to make Shorthorn breeding pay.
1t is my humble opinion that fashionable

greatest curse that ever occurred in

sale of liquor taking place daily on the
premises now closed by the injunction and

in force in this state there is no reason
why the owner should be given possession
of the building until the case had been

A Woman'S Voice,

That most beautiful thing in woman, a
soft voice, is Il thingto be earnestly striven
for and ~assiduously cultivated. We are
told the American climate is to blame for
the shrill "heady" tones in the voices of so
many of us. This we can in a great degrees
obviate by the careful training of the chest
tones. In our estimation nothing is better
for Il child while quite young than short
lessons given by SOM accomplished elocu-
ZIONIST. Not that they may be taught to
''elocute," in the often rightly condemned
sense, but to have them simply taught to
use correctly the muscles of the chest and
stomach IN speaking every day language
and to read with intelligence. Talking
with a we'll known teacher not long ago,
b said no matter how weak or sore her
throat might be she could read by the hour
without the slightest fatigue, simply be-
cause she used the proper muscles.-Ex-

This fact stands out in the midst of
the disastrous experience Of numerous
sheep raisers in tic past half dozen
years: The price Of wool has been like
the Indians description of the white
man, mighty onsartain," but more and
more mutton has been consumed every
year. The inhabitants Of the United
States are becoming a sheep eating peo-
pie, and you can depend on that. When
wool does not pay, therefore, You can be
sure that good fat mutton always will.
In western Colorado mutton brings a
better price per pound than beef.
The hogs of Maine, Rhode Island and
Connecticut bring the highest price per
head of those of any of the states.
The year 1890 has added more than a
thousand new trotters to the 2:3D list in
America.
A movement is now on foot to cross
the American trotting horse with En-
gish h%acl1neys. 1t is expected that from
this cross an animal will result which
will possess the speed Of the trotter and
the strength and size of the hackney.
It is hoped to produce a superior car
rage horse from the cross.
Big hogs are raised in South Dakota in
spite of the belief that swine thrive best
in a warmer climate. A farmer near
Sioux Falls lately sold seventy-fve hogs
that averaged 375 pounds apiece. But
how old were they?
If the sheep is healthy and growing,
putting on flesh instead of shrinking,
the mutton will not have a woolly favor.
It is the sheep that is on the down grade
that produces woolly mutton.-Field

Easter: farmers should think how it

Bob Roberts Applies for Bail.

Wednesday afternoon Judge Francis, as
counsel, made application before Judge
Winchester for bail for Bob Roberts, now
confined in Jail on a charge of assault.
There were present at the time of the mo-
ton both the complaining witness and de-
PENDANT. Mr.. Francis, in asking that bail
be granted, said his client had remained
confined in Jail and had made no attempt
to gain his freedom priorjt to his trial until
it was thought the complainant was past
all danger from the assault. He said Mr..
Roberts could give a reasonable amount ct
bail, but were it placed too high he would
be obliged to remain III Jail until the trial
at the next term of the district court.
States Attorney Register said he acknowl-
edged the case to be one in which bail
could be fixed, but the gravity Of the Of
Tense should be taken into consideration.
The crime of which Mr.. Roberts was
charged was subject to a maximum of ten
years in the penitentiary if he Should be
proven guilty. He did not wish to deprive
any one of their rights and he believed the
court would fix the bail in an that
would be satisfactory to all parties col-
cerned. The court asked Mr.. Francis if
he thought his client could give bail in the
sur Of $1,000. Mr.. Francis did not think
he could without going outside the county
and perhaps the state; said they could give
bail in $4,000 10y responsible parties whom
the court would not hesitate to accept.
Upon the suggestion of the states attol-
ney the court thought, before fixing bail,
it would be well to have a statement from
Mr.. Whites attending physician as to his
condition. Mr.. Francis said there would
be no difficulty in securing such a cer,iii-
cate. The case was then continued.
