HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
HYaTENIc DISH WASHING.

In the progressive cooking schools and
philanthropic kitchen gardens the pupils
have three separate stations Though
which the dishes are put. First there is
the pan filled with warm suds, with
big soft cloth; next comes the rinsing
pan of warm water and adjoining is a
drip board of criss-cross pine. 1t is good
to know that there are wide.awake
housekeepers who can do the dishes in a
jiffy without any fuss and only one basin
of water.-New York World.

A GOOD CLoTHEsLINE.

A clothesline is a unitarian article
which is quite likely to thrust itself in an
unseemly manner upon our attention,
especially in close city yards where most
of the available space must be taken up
in drying the clothes. The old-fashioned
hempen line has great disadvantages.
To give proper satisfaction, it must be
taken down and put up again every
week, and the average laundress is quite
likely to rebel over the trouble and leave
the unsightly thing in the yard to become
rotten, worthless and moldy with rair
and sun. A far better material for q
cIothesline is the ordinary telegraph wire
which is now sold for that purpose in
hardware stores. 1t will outlast dozen
hempen clotheslines. When in is prop
erly put up by strong man it does not
sag like a hempen line. 1t does not
break. 1t is not unsightly because it is
so fine that it is hardly noticeable feat
ure of the yard. 1t can be wiped of at
elch time the clothes are hung out, with
a cloth, so that it need not soil the clothes
like an old hempen line. It is not ex-
pensive, and altogether it seems to solve
the question of clothesline better than
anything else.-New York Tribune.

COMMENTING upon thestruggle that
is going on in Louisiana over the lot
terry question, the RerieW Of Reyseus
remarks that it is really national
issue rather than local one, in that
the lottery prosecutes its business in
every nook and corner of the republic.
1t is estimated that ninety-seven per
cent OF its receipts come from out
side of the state Of Louisiana, and its
annual receipts are from $40, OOO, 900 to
500, 100000, only about one-half of
which finds its way back into the
pockets OF those who invested it. The
greater share of this vast amount
comes from the poorer classes, and its
consequent influence upon the ma
tion is OF a most demoralizing nature.
With its vast income of 500, 900, 900 or
more the lottery people can at any
time use large sum to corrupt the
people to further their schemes. and
then have a fine income left. The
anti-lottery people are making
spirited fight against tremendous
odds, but are said to need money to
carry on their campaign with, and the
people outside of that state, who wish
to see this corrupt institution crush
ed should rally to their support.

CONGRESSMAN LIND came to the
frontin fine shape the other day in
his speech on the proposition to pay
the expense of getting the contribu-
tions made by the people of this coun-
try to the starving Russians. In re-
fering to the amendment requiring
the Russian government to distribute
the donations without discrimination
against the Jews, he characterized it
as anel.isult to a friendly power, and
said that the people OF the northwest
did not want any such insulting pro-
vision tackled on to their donations
Mr.. Lind was right in this. It would
i'll become this government in such a
case to cast reflections upon the prob
able action Of friendly power in a
case like this, and it is a disgrace to
the nation that the house for mo-
ment entertained such a proposition.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES.

BY an agreement reached with the
railroads, the case which was pend
ing before the Railway and Ware
house Commissioners is to be with
drawn. the railroads having conceded
that the complaint was a just one.
and have agreed to make rates which
are materially lower than heretofore
in force, which will affect all stations
In the country; and as the rates are
to be put in force at once, they will
apply to that part Of the present crop
which is now unsold and thereby in
creasing its value by the amount of
reduction in freight rates.
Upon the question of the unreason-
ableness of the rates which our manu-
facturers and, shippers were required
to pay in shipping out their goods, it
was conceded that they were too high
and new tariffs will be substituted
which will place us as shipping point
On an equality with any other city in
the State, and will also enable our
manufacturers and shippers to reach
that part Of the State north of the
Minnesota river upon reasonable
terms. The results are considered
very satisfactory by the committee in
charge and have been arrived at by
conference and mutual agreement,
which leaves a cordial and friendly
feeling as the basis for future bust
ness relations between the railways
and therepresentatives of the business
interests of the country.
The tariff agreed upon will proba-
bly, be published within the next ten
days, when we will be able more spe-
officially to show the benefits ac-
cruing to. the people of this section.
Considerable credit is due Gen. E. NJ.
Pope, G. III. Higgs and G. A. Everhart
for the energy displayed by them in
this matter.

SENATOR CARLISLE has announced
himself in favor Of giving the silver
law of 1890 fair trial before making
a radical change. AS Mr.. Carlisle is
prominent free silver man, this dec
laration has caused CONSERVATION
among the free silverites. As this
law is. taking all the silver product OF
the country, and giving in return
currency that is at once more cOnven-
lent and backed bya dollars worth
of silver, it is hard to see what more
the free coinage men want. OF course
the Spectator and mine owner would
prefer free coinage law, as they
could make a profit of about % per
cent. where now the field is closed for
such an operation. 1t is not at all
surprising that there should be such
desire upon the part of the masses,
who will not share these profits, but
rather be the losers thereby. The
cry of cheap money is undoubtedly an
alluring one to many, but when it is
so cheap that it is not worth 100 cents
upon the dollar, it is not desirable
thing to have. So far the government
has been able to hold the 75-eent dol
lar at it's face value, but al history
teaches that when a nation POUNDS It's
volume of currency upon such 2 basis,
ruin follows. The free coinage adyo'
Gates would do well to follow Senator
Carlisle's advice,

North during the war, and defeating

for revenge. However, the contribu-

this is a point far too small for the
consideration of a ''five-cent- Con-
gress.''

A Rose Garden Lunch.

By Miss Mabel Jenness,
Now has come the season of the year
when pretty out of door affairs are given
preference over in door Inequalities.
Many ladies who do not feel they can
afford an elaborate winter entertain
ment. when fruits, flowers and other adj
iuncts of a pretty and tempting repast
are not in season, and consequently held
at high prices, can in summer, at a com
paratively moderate cost, give an out
of-door lunch, and thereby discharge, in
most delightful and satisfactory mans
ner, the accumulated obligations of the
winter. How delectable is lunch
served in the open air, where the appe
tite is whetted, not alone by the delic-
ious flavor of the food and the aesthetic
and tasteful table decorations, but
where, also, the ozone of the air mingles
with the blood and stimulates the diges-
tive organs to greater activity.
AS ladies are always striving after
novelties, propose to give in this article
suggestions for rose garden lunch.
Surely no month could be more favor
able for giving a charming out-of-door
lunch than June, the month of roses,
when these beautiful flowers can be had
for mere song.
A very unique and pleasing affair can
be given by erecting an arbor above a
patch of freshly cut green grass, which
shall serve rs a carpet. Cover the arbor
xy:n q
perfect bower and screen from the hot
summer sun; within lay the table; upon
either side divans formed of rude boxes,
covered with vines and scattered with
roses, should be used in place of chairs
"a la G3ecQUe.
The table can be draped in fine and
dainty linen, bearing the monogram of
the hostess, or if one has plenty of
means and desires to make it an elabor>
ate lunch, rose-colored India silk can be
used Form the flower piece form the
center of the table of ferns and large
pink roses; for the favors, if the lunch
be for both gentlemen and ladies, use
moss>rose bulbs for the gentlemen and
Jacuueminot roses for the ladies. The
china and other little table appoint
ments must depend much upon the
means of the hostess, and also upon
what she already has in this line. Green
and white china, however, is very desir-
able for such lunch, as it preserves the
harmony in coloring.
The following is a pretty conceit for a
lady's toilette to be worn at the lunch
A gown in the directoire or some other
picturesque STYLE made Of null or some
light summer fabric, in white or any of
the shades of pink or yellow common to
the rose; and to complete the costume, a
bonnet of quaint shape, trimmed with
null or tulle and a bunch of natural
roses, the roses in color to match the
dress.

The Girl of the Period

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The girl of the period is marked for
her height and slightness Of build. Think
of any mother and daughter you know,
and in the majority of cases the mother
will be short, the daughter long. When
CHANGING around at a wedding the other
day the height of the more youthful
girl guests struck me as remarkable.
Some one was charging consclentiously
on the subject: According to statis>
tics" declared the oracle, women to-
dayare two inches taller on an average
than they were twenty or thirty years
ago." The fact is accounted for when
we remember that almost every girl is
forced to go in for physical training
Gymnastics are potent in encouraging
growth, and the restless, active life led
by young women nowadays, who are
never seen doubled up over their needle
work for hours together, as their moth
ers were before them, helps to reduce
the easy plumpness of form and to in>
duce willowy length of limb.
