sec from the following. which we clip
from the Gi0bc- Dem0cTut of the 18th

mind to build u fine new boat TO take

Capt T. J. Moss and others are
contemplating the building OF a new

pose TO construct q side-wliccl steamer

Housewives Should Remember the Party
That Gave Them Cheap Sugar.
Boston Advertiser.
When the SIMEON of summers breath
scorches the clover leaves in the sandy
fields; when the very flies take on drow sier
tone as they bump lazily against the de-
ceptive wIndow-panes; when the markets
show an almost endless variety of tempting
fruit, the prudent housewife brings forth
the big syrup kettle for the connection of
jams. jellies and preserves Over the glow

bubbles and SINNERS the liquid sweetness
of hundred peaches or . thousand cur

a crimson froth to the eddying surface,
while beneath swirls the sweetened Juices

kitchen tables are already lined with many
row of polished jelly glasses and jars

The labels, well written in a clerkly but
feminine hand. are close by. awaiting their

At first thought nothing could be more
dissimilsr or foreign to such a scene than
word of politics. and yet it IS TO be re-
membered that these rosy and tempting
conserves are all the cheaper this year be-
cause of the noteworthy DECREASE In the
cost of sugar and that this boon the house
wives owe TO the Republican party In spite
of the bitter opposition of the Democr ats.
Not many years ago a visitor at the market
asked well-knOwn fruit-dealer as to the
best time for preserving peaches. Madam"
politely answered the urbane fruit-dealer.
whose name suggests winter rather than
summer. 1.-The best time to can peaches is
when you can" So to housewives espe-
cial!y the Advertiser advises that they for
get not the Republican party's cut into the
price of sugar. and that they remember it
when they can.
