Hints to Housekeepers.

If troubled with headache, try the
simultaneous application of hot water to
feet and back of the neck.
Fried fish is very good turned in sailed
flour, or sailed egg and bread crumbs and
then put into boiling-hot fat to get brown.
If the hands are rubbed on a stick of
celery after peeling onions the smell will
be entirely removed. Or onions may be
peeled under water without offense to ewes
or hands.
If poison has been accidentally swal-
lowed, instantly drink a pint of warm
water in which has been stirred tea
spoonful of salt and one or two of mus
tard. A half-glass of sweet oil will render
many poisons harmless.
Many women complain that button
shoes pain the feet more after a months
wear than they did when first put on.
Examination will prove in these cases
that by the stretching of the uppers the
foot is allowed to slip forward, paining the
toe and the side of the ball joint. By re-
setting the buttons judiciously the trouble
is overcome.
Rain water, it is well known, is the best
cosmetic. A good substitute is to let some
orange, lemon or cucumber peel soak in
water used to wash the face. This need
not be especially prepared for every ablu-
ton. Keep wide-mouthed bottle or jar
of it on your toilet stand and use daily for
the face. It softens the skin and gives a
becoming glow, while beautifully stimulat-
ing the action of the skin.
Farm Notes.
Put all the tools under shelter as soon as
you are done with them.
To keep and milk scrub COW is a waste
of time, as well as waste of feed.
When the pigs are weaned they will need
little extra feeding in order to grow
well.
The best way of feeding oats is by run
ming through cutting box if fed un-
threshed.
Sheep will thrive better and keep in bet
ter health if their pastures can be changed
frequently.
A calf that runs with its mother gets its
milk warm and sweet. See that the same
conditions are secured in feeding
1t is well to remember that an overfed
pig is poor property. Once checked in its
thrift it is with great difficulty brought
back to its normal condition.
Properly managed one good COW and
three good pigs can be kept, and then feed
the pigs SO that they can be made ready
to market at from six to eight months.
He told his son to milk the cows, feed
the horses, slop the pigs, hunt the eggs,
feed the calves, catch the colt and put him
in the stable, cut some wood, split the
kindings, stir the cream, put fresh water
in the creamery after supper, and to be
sure and study his lesson before he went
to bed. Then he went to the Farmers
club to discuss the question, Glow to keep
the boys on the farm. "-Denver Field and

pies among the people.
The Farmers Alliances: Thomas H.
Benton said. "All property is at the
mercy of the money power" James
A. Garfield said, Whoever controls
the volume of money in any country is
absolute master of all industry and
commerce. These are strong sayings
of able and wise men, uttered at DIFF
ferent times before money had been
crowned absolute monarch in this coun-
try. The old struggle between gov
eminent and people has ceased to a
great extent only to be succeeded by
a fiercer conflict between the govern
ment or people on one hand and the
money power on the other. Now, if
it be true that money is absolute
master of all industry and commerce, )"
and that all property is at the ENERGY
of its power, it is about time the peo-
pie became master of money. 1t is a
sad spectacle and a worse comment on
modern craftsmanship to see this crea-
ture of man exercising absoiutism over
Its creator and making all the rest OF
his wants subservient to its DEGREES.
1t is unjust, un-American and iniquit-
gus for gold, or set of men, to con-
troll the volume of currency which,
like government, should be ''of the
people, by the people, for the people,
the servant and not the master of q
great nation.

Another Surprise In Post So

Comrade ]. R. Hutchinson, of Post IS, and
his estimable wife and family, were treated to
genuine surprise on last Friday evening.
Owing to the illness of member Of the family
the affair was held at post headquarters. April
70 was the twenty-ffth anniversary of Com
rade Hutchinson's wedding day. The post the
ladies' auxiliary and a number of 'Hutchs"
company and regimental comrades showed
their appreciation of his worth and unselfis sh
labor for the post.
A large number of his comrades. together
with their wives and friends, assembled at the
hall on Friday evening" and when everything
was in readiness the Hutchinson family, which
had beer brought to the scene by clever plan,
entered. They were overw helmed and puzzled
by the welcome they received, the number of
friends gathered and the tables spread with
good things All sat down at the festive board
and when quiet was restored Comrade A ].
Pentecost. in very feeling address, presented
to comrade Hutchinson. on behalf of the
comrades, very pretty silver tea set suitably
inscribed.
Then Commander Scott read q letter from
Comrsdt Frank b. Singer Of Johustown in
which he regretted his inability to be present,
and delegated the Co dmander to present on
his behalf to Comrade Hutchinson and wife q
very handsom! coffee pot Comrades Singer
and Hutchinson were members of the sama
company In the service and were prisoners of
war together. Comrade Hutchinson responded
in very touching manner to the speeches
The evening was spent in disposing of the re-
past provided by the ladies, for which they
deserve praise, in music and in conversation.

At this season Of the year. when money
is becoming abundant, desirable invest
ments usually advance in price, and at
times are difficult to get Street railway
stocks and bonds are deservedly favorite in
vestments, especially of bonds issued to i'm
prove roadbed and equipment. The earn
ing power of such roads has been shown by
years of previous operation, and the increase
consequent upon more rapid transit no
longer admits of doubt. The completed
rapid transit lines have shown most satis-
factory results, as, for example, the "Citi-
zens, Pheasant Valley" or compare the
"Pittsburg" with its predecessor, or the
Central" with its tiresome slow horse cars,
making riding even painful.
The Manchester line, though one of the
first street railways of the "Twiu Cities"
has pursued its conservative management
and allowed other lines to experiment with
and develop the best of the different kinds
Of motors. But some months ago this COM
pany determined to substitute electricity for
horses, and the work of reconstructing their
lines has now been under way for some time
and the electric cars are expected to be run
ming in June. The proceeds of the bonds
issued for these betterments and changes
are placed with the trustee of the mortgage
and paid out by it only on the engineers
certificate of work actually done or material
furnished. thus guaranteeing to the bond
holder that his money goes into the property
pledged for his bonds security. The road
bed is said to be the most substantial in this
country.
A large amount Of these bonds have been
sold to careful home investors, but none
have been offered on Eastern markets The
net income of the main line and its various
branches is already sufficient to meet its
fixed charges without any increase from
rapid transit.

A TREATY MISUNDERSTANDING.
Indians Think They Are Entitled to Cash for
Their Coded Lands.

SAC AND Fox AGENCY, April 25.-
Special Agent Robinson arrived at the Iowa
village yesterday and announced himself to
Blind Chief as ready to proceed with his
work of allotting lands in severalty to the
Iowa tribes of Indians. Against this the
Indians demur, saying that they have not
means of subsistence. no money and no
credit, and they desire the Government to
pay them their money for their lands before
they will proceed to take their allot.ments.
The treaty provides that they shall be
paid in live stock and agricultural imple-
ments. This, the Iowas state, was not the
agreement as they understood it. Kirwin
Murray. their Interpreter, says that he un-
derstood they were to get their pay in cash,
and so explained it to his people when they
were treating with the commissioners, and
that they never would make any other kind
Of agreement with the Government The
agent. in his dilemma, has sent for Indian
Agent Patrick, and it is hoped that between
them they can come to an amicabls settle
ment with the Indians and allow the allot-
ments to proceed.

Why the Everett Is the Most Popular
Piano and the Safest One to Buy

Because they are unequaled in powerful,
yet rich and musical, quality of tone.
Because the action meets all the require
ments Of the most eIactinE artists and mu-
siclans.
Because the cases are artistic in design
and beautifully finished.
Because of their great durability; each
piano is warranted for seven years.
Because they are the only pianos sold in
the United States that have an absolutely
fixed cash price, and that the lowest possi-
BILE.
Because there are more Everett pianos
sold in these cities than any other make,
and the demand is steadily increasing.
Because they always give satisfaction.
Because they are sold on the club system,
which provides methods of payments to suit
everyone, ranging from 81 per week up to
all cash, and at the same time gives pur-
chasers the lowest possible wholesale cash
price, obtained by purchasing in contracts
for $50 pianos at one time.
Do not purchase any piano until you have
seen the Everett, at Alex. Ross music

Summer is now approaching with its usual
speed. The green leaves have unfolded in all
their glory. the blossoms have burst forth as
though by magic and the air is laden with
sweet perfume. Beauteous nature disports
herself over the country and outdoors all is
gladness and happiness.
Nowhere IL it more beautiful than about the
Homes provided for the veterans of the Re-
bellion. And yet, as is usual at this period,
many an old soldier is desirous of leaving these
Homes, where are comfort and plenty, to roam
the country. They desert the homes prepared
for them, probably without a dollar in their
pockets. They reach their destination and be-
come charge upon their comrades. This is
an injustice and the local comrades feel that it
must be corrected. 1t is a growing evil.
Every summer hundreds OF old soldiers who
have left the Homes. appeal to the local Grand
Army authorities for assistance. The persons
aided are double charge upon their comrades
who have in most cases incurred expense in
sending the applicants to the Homes. The
drain on the resources of the local posts is
heavy enough without this unnecessary ex-
pense. The inmates of the Homes should under
stand this. and not unnecessarily increase the
burdens of their comrades at home Boys don't
leave the comforts and plenty of the Homes for
the uncertain prospect away from them.
