Candidates who are now in the hands

Harvest hands are being engaged al

about hard times.
A local wiseacre, upon being asked
when wealth would be more equally

never will and never can be while some
work and others loaf, some drink and
gamble, and others still sit down and
say the world owes them living" The
question was well answered.

between them is handy wicker Hap,

Cabbage Salad.
One large head Of cabbage, one cup OF
sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, two table
spoonfuls of butter, one cupful of vinegar,
half teaspoonful of ground mustard, one
dozen hard boiled eggs.
Cut the cabbage with a sharp knife,
shaving it very fine, leaving out any wilted
leaves and all hard pieces; put into large
dish, add all the ingredients and mix well
together. Boil the eggs hard, about five
minutes; throw them into cold water, take
the shells off and chop ten of them fine and
mix with the cabbage. When ready to use
put the salad in dish, slice the other two
eggs and garnish the top. For small
family half will do.

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF
A Convincing Letter from Washington
Street Car Driver.

A Convincing Letter from a Washington
Street Car Driver.
There is a street car driver in Wash
.ington named Doran, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
public. He is native of Ireland and has
been in this country about six years. He
is a pretty bright fellow, is close reader
of the newspapers and careful observer
of everything that is going on. During
the past year Mike has been paying a
good deal of attention to the tariff ques-
ton, and has been led away by the theo-
ries of the Republicans that protection
was a good thing for the poor man.
An incident occurred within the past
week or ten days that has made Mike
somewhat skeptical. He had been told,
by the Republicans of course, and by
Mckinley in particular, that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. Mckinley said so in
his Minneapolis speech and Mike be-
lieved him at the time. About ten days
ago a cousin of Mikes arrived in this
country. He brought a present from
Mixes mother to her son, consisting OF
twelve pairs of wooden socks which she
herself knitted for him. 1t is safe to
say that the value of the socks was
about twenty cents pair, but when
Mikes cousin arrived at the custom
house he was assessed twenty-five cents
pair tariff duty on socks. When he
came to Mike he showed him his receipt
from the custom house officers for the
three dollars that he had paid for the
dozen socks, and Mike of course had te
refund the money to him. This sci

In no apartment in the house is simple
taste SO welcome and appropriate as in the
bedroom. Here there should ever be an
air of quiet and repose and complete alb
sence of all obtrusive decorations and as
sertive colors. An air of subdued har-
mony should invest the entire apartment,
and walls, ceiling and floor selected so as
to unite all together and form peaceful
tout ensemble.
Various schemes of decoration of course
permit Of the employment of variety OF
woods for the furniture of the bedroom.
Where delicate olive greens or subdued
blues prevail upon the walls, etc., it is well
to employ dark, cherry colored mahogany
or rosewood. Where rose color or warm
yellow or salmon is preferred then the in
production of an ivory white enameled
suit would be most desirable, and SO on in
like manner with the rest of the furniture
wood. It is absolutely necessary to main
tain a sympathetic coloring on the walls,

accomplished The repetition of this tru-
ism may perhaps seem very superfuous to
some of our readers, but it is astonishing
how frequently it is violated. says Fur

criminal Anthropology Of women.


1t is fact, according to Science, that in
all countries there are fewer convictions
for crimes of women than Of men. Euro
pean statistics vary from the highest, 81
per cent. in Scotland, to the lowest, rather
less than per cent. in Italy. 1t is also
noted that there is a very wide differences
between city and country. The proportion
of female criminals is always higher in
rural districts, sometimes reaching nearly
to that of the males.
Various explanations of these facts have
been suggested. Some are complimentary
to the sex, rs that women are not given te
intoxicants nor to gambling nor to rowing
they are more timid, more religious, more
tender hearted and their sexuality is more
passive There is something in all thess
reasoLS. but they do not satisfy DR.. G. Fer
zero, who discusses the subject in The
Revue Scientifque. He points out that
the females of the ants, bees and spiders
are particularly cruel because they are par
ticularly intelligent, and he reaches the
ungallant conclusion that the woman Of
today is less criminal because less intelli
gent than the man.

"MoNoMe1RIc" QUEEN VICTORIA

She Measures All Men of the Same Glass
or Profession by One Ideal.
1t is somewhat surprising to hear Queen
Victoria described as 'monometric wom-

oddly named quality is. Professor Karl
Vogt will enlighten them In a memoir
of his lately deceased colleague. DR.. Au

of this species always selects one man

opher. there existed only one perfect hus-
band, the prince consort; only one con-

Disraeli Beaconsfeld, and only one ideally

The loyal Englishman will ask what the
queen had to do with the late DR.. Hof-

witt Prince Albert after their marriage
she expressed an eager desire to see the
rooms in which her husband had lived
during his student days at Bonn. Thy

chemical experiment. The scientist, as

was charmed with his talk, concluded that
there was no other such chemical re-
searcher in the world, and this was the
reason why he was called in ls4s to the
Royal College of Chemistry in London.

New Decorative Effects-An Attractive
Color Combination.
A charming decorative effect is produced
by sewing down gold thread with colored
silk. This Is specially apparent in charm
ing plush table cover of soft golden green
shade. The design is wrought out with
gold and cream silks, with outlines of gold
thread sewed with red silk. The thread Is
of coppery tint, and this, with the red
silk, affords just the requisite warmth of
tone unattainable in a green and gold
scheme. 1t is surprising that such hand
some result could be achieved with so COM
paratively small an amount of work. The
set designs making the center are filled in
with silks, but the plush serves for the
running foliage, the leaves being outlined
and veined with gold and only shaded
slightly at the edges with silks.
Yellow and also q combination of white
and yellow are the fashion in needlework,
especially for small things. A blotter Of
coppery yellow velvet is decorated with
white linen applique design. outlined and
veined with gold thread. A few scattered
forgetmenots are worked with blue silk
here and there. Again, there is the same
combination in a second blotter, but this
time the ground is white linen, and the
spray of white leaves and grapes is done
with brilliant yellow silk; the tendrils
with gold thread. Colored linens are quite
the favorite material for pincushions for
common use; they are very severe, with
out frills or ribbons or lace. The square or
oblongs are the shapes generally seen, and
they are embroidered with single spray
Of flowers or set design. Some are not
even so much as edged with cord. White
or a contrasting colored flax is used for the
pattern.
For quiet bit of decoration mauve sweet
peas on a reseda ground is happy choice.
Two or three flowers and a little light green
foliage are considered sufficient for hand
kerchief sachet and pincushion to match.
For those satin is the chosen material.
Curtains are, to some extent, taking the
place of embroidered panels on screens and
make a pleasant change. One with brass
rod frame has copper gold curtain scam
tily plated. This is embroidered with
green, terra Gotta and yellow crewels along
the lower edge and bordered with variously
colored silk fringe.

rhe PROVINCIAL "Bee. !"

A "bee" in provincial New England and
New York is an assemblage of people for a
set purpose, and especially meeting OF
neighbors to unite in working for an in.
dividual or family. In the form of spell
ing bee'' or spelling match the word has
extended over the whole country. Quilt
ing bees are attended by young women,
who assemble around the frame of bed
quilt and in one afternoon accomplish
more than one person could in weeks. Re
freshments and beaux help to render the
meeting agreeable. Apple bees are occa-
sions where neighbors assemble to gather
apples or cut them up for drying. Husk-
ing bees, for husking corn, meet in barns.
In some new districts on the arrival of a
new settler the neighboring farmers unite
with their teams, cut the timber and build
him a log house in single day; these are
termed raising bees. The name may have
come from the likeness of these gatherings
to the swarming of buzzing bees.
Old Pipes.

bowl and the proportionate diminution OF

appendage.

writer stated that s.the rich use silver
pipes, but the poor use walnut shells and

twenty-five cents a pair tariff duties on the
