How to Fail.

How to Fail.
If the Republicans lie down and take
it easy because Of the victories in local
elections in Rhode Island and JERSEY
City, if they begin to indulge in wran-
giles for precedence and battles for the
satisfaction of personal ambition or for
the spoils they are going to win, they
will only make the same ridiculous
blunder the Democrats have been max
ing ever since November, 1890. 1t does
not become Republicans to follow Dem
ocratic example in anything. When
the victories of 1890 appeared to insure
Democratic success in a presidential
election, all the factions Of that
party at once began Kill
kenny cat fight for the nomination
and the control of the party organiza-
ton. They are at it yet, and mean
while the prospects of the party have
sunk so far that they are hard to see.
When Republicans all realized that
they had fierce and doubtful struggle
before them, there was general willing
ness to look out for the party first, and
to let individual ambitions and appe-
tiles wait. But since recent victories
have brought great encouragement,
there are some signs of a disposition to
wrangle about place and rank and the
distribution Of the spOils. The thing
for good Republicans to do in every
part of the country Is to set foot on this
disposition.
True. Rhode Island means I'M
broken and irresistible Republican
ranks in New England Local elections
in New York and New Jersey mean
that the Democratic party is more
broken and weakened by it's own crimes
than il has been before for many years.
Elections at the West mean that the
Republicans are stronger there than
they have been at any time since 1888.
All these things offer a grand oppor-
tunity. There will be needed patient
and exceedingly earnest effort to edu-
cate the people, not to miration
of this or that candidated, but to

Poultry PiCIxinPS.

ONE rooster and ten hens are
enough for breeding.
BULLETS that are just beginning to
lay are not good settlers.
EXTRA large or odd-shaped eggs
should not be used for Matching.
FAsTEN small box to the side of
the house to hold oyster shells,
ground bone or grit.
AT no time is it desirable to feed
poultry an exclusive grain diet; they
need more bulky food.
ONE advantage with ducks about
the yard and garden is that they do
not scratch, although they are vora-
CiOuS eaters.
IT requires an average of ten
pounds of grain to feed incubator
chickens ten weeks. At first they
will need less than one pound a week
and at last more.

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.
Hints for HOuSecle2ni

The most satisfactory way to clean
wall paper is with bread a day old,
but not old enough to crumble badly
or fresh enough to be doughty when
used. If the paper is not very much
sOiled it may be busted and rubbed
down with a soft hand mop made of
cotton yarn. Remember in using the
mop or bread to take even downward
strokes, one following the edge of the
other, SO as to cover finally the whole.
To remove spots from furniture, an
old authority says: Grub them Wig
orously with sweet oil and turpen-
tine. When the spots are removed
the furniture may be washed with
warm, not hot soap suds, and pol
ished with a little crude oil or petro-
leum."
The best way to renovate old feath-
ers is to put them from the tick into
barrel of hot suds. They should be
shaken out under the water after
thoroughly washing them in two or
three barrels of Suds. Rinse them
thoroughly. Spread them on a clean
sheet on the floor in small, warm
room after wringing them thorough
ly in cloth to extract all the moist
ure that can be take out in this way
Leave them over night to dry on the
sheet, then remove them to another
and beat them with a stick, tying a
veil over the face and head to pre-
vent breathing the fluff of the feath-
ers that rises. In few days the
feathers will be fine and dry. They
can also be dried by putting them in
a bag of white mosquito, netting,
hanging them in the sun and turning
and beating them occasionally. If
one lives near a steam renOvating es-
tablishment it is better to send the
pillows there, as they only charge so
cents pillow to renOVate them.
To clean marble mix little whit
ing with a strong solution Of washing
soda and a little dissolved soap. Lay
the mixture on the marble with a
brush, and let it remain for half an
hour, then wash it off. using scrub
bling brush and flannel, with a little
alcohol to polish UP the marble. Old
pots and kettles that have become
stained or have an odor may be i'm
mersed in cold suds and boiled, when

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
Milking Yard Convenience.

1t requires out little time TO
make shelter like that shown in the
accompanying sketch from the Amer
lean Agriculturist, and it certainly
provides a very neat and desirable
place in which to set the milk until
all the COWS are MIXED. The lower
shelf makes good receptacle for the
milkingstools and by the way, milk
ing-stOols ought to be made for the
purpose intended, and not by the
utilization Of some old box, keg, or

Those Rags from Beggars' Backs.
Representative Dingley, of Maine, in


the House:
The gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
McMillin) further said:
"They"-the wooden manufacturers
"have been forced to use shoddy as a
substitute for wooden goods; the rags
that had already fallen from the backs
of beggars in other countries have been
used as substitute for WOOL"
And he has presented bill which he
advocates as a remedy. What is the
remedy? The difficulty, according to
his statement, is that rags, as David A.
Wells asserts, laden with disease and
fraud, are imported and put by Ameri-
can manufacturers into WOODEN cloth.
Now, what is the provision of the gen
tleman's bill respecting shoddy and
WOODEN rags? Shoddy is simply WOODEN
rags passed through machine fed by a
boy at nominal expense, whereby the
rag fibers are torn apart and converted
into what is known as rag wool or shod-
dy.
Now, the gentleman proposes to ex-
clude the importation of shoddy in a
freewOol bill by imposing duty of %
per cent. upon it. But what does he
dc, with rags, WOODEN rags, "disease-
laden rags" rags permeated with
fraud all through ?'' He puts them on
the free list. Rags that can be con-
verted for less than cent q pound into
shoddv are placed on the free list, while
shoddy is placed at % per cent. ad
valorem. That may be good for the
purposes of electioneering talk upon
the platform, but for scientific adjust
ment OF duties in a tariff bill, what shall
De said of it?
The shoddy which has been passed
through the machine, mingled with oils,
has been disinfected, ifthere was any dis
ease lurking in it; but the rags, the ''dis-
ease laden rags" according to David A.
Wells, if either shoddy or wooden rags
ever do bring disease, are placed on the
free list. In the Mckinley tariff act
the duty is absolutely prohibitory on
these rags.
Mr.. Simpson-Will the gentleman be
kind enough to state what the duty on
rags in the Mckinley act is q?
Mr.. Dingley-Thirty cents a pound !;
practically prohibitory. The disease
laden rags" which gentlemen COM
plain may come into this country
under the Mckinley law and be con-
verted into clothing are practically pro-
hibited by that law by duty Of 80 cents
a pound, and almost none were import
ed last year. The gentleman from Ten
nessee, to cure the evil that he coniures
up in the Mckinley tariff, brings in A
'tariff-reform" bill that puts "disease-
laden" rags on the free list.

by the continual cropping. If very
light top dressing of well pulverized
manure is occasionally applied it's
effects upon succeeding crops is al
most magical. An application Of
ashes also shows it's influence in an
increased growth and in causing a
luXuriant growth of clover where
there was none before. More hay
means more manure, and more ma
nure, better crops.

How to Hold a Hog for Ringing, Etc.

Provide a small, stout cord with a
slip-noose in the end. Put this over
the upper jaw of a hog just back of
the tusks, hitch the cord to post,
and the hog will pull back and squeal,
but can be held Or led at ease.
Strike hog on the nose or throw
him down, and he will open his
mouth. A hogs nose is more sensi-
tive than its head.

one of the most favored and tender Incl

been denied to me by the intervention OF a
sad and imperative duty, and l can only
ask you to give to all my cordial greetings
