TO RECOVER FURNITURE.

With a screw-driver. remove carefully
all the old tacks, and take off the old
cover for pattern. If the cover is to
be put on smooth, it is very simple mat
ter. If it is put on with buttons, it is a
little harder; but is still possible. Take
some pieces of Irvine about 10 inches
long. Thread piece into a long darn
ing needle, and draw the twine through
the eye of the button, Then draw one
end of the Irvine through the back or
seat, in the old place; draw the other end
through at very short distance from
the first, and tie them tightly in a very
hard knot (you will see how this is done
by removing the cover of the back. Some
care is necessary to keep the goods
straight and in place. Gimp isneeded to
cover the tacks along the edge, and there
are now small brass headed lacks to put
it on with. There is a great variety of
goods useful for covering from cretonne
to plush. Ii light goods are used. it is
much better to turn under the edge of
the cloth little, though the furniture
men do not, and the result is that the
cover pulls away from the edge. some
times before it is half worn out. If
springs are broken, strong hand is
needed to replace them, but it can be
done.

GLOVE MENp1Ne.

1t is well to have little basket Dur
posely for gloves that have come to
tnending, filed with tan, gray and black
silk, or cotton thread-for Just lately cot
ton has come into vogue for glove mend
ing; many claiming that is it less apt than
silk to cut the kid, while it wears off and
matches the color more, perfectly. Ac-
cording to Good Housekeeping there
should also be in the basket paper of
assorted needles, a bit of wax and a box
of the tiny buttons which have been
saved from worn-out gloves, as well as
pieces of gloves of different colors. 1t is
ALWAYS advisable to buy gloves of the
best quality and then to carefully put
them in shape, Strengthening the fingers,
before putting them away after wearing;
being sure that they are not damp with
perspiration, sprinkling the inside with
violet powder if there is the least trace
of it, otherwise you may find your gloves
widowed, and wonder how they came
to be so. A pair of gloves treated in
this way, kept in good repair, with the
smallest rip properly mended, will last
nearly as long again, The best way to
mend button-holes that have tendency
to stretch or tear is to haste on the in
side-with fine needle always-a bit of
kid the color Of the gloves. Carefully
stitch down the edges, stretching borh
patch and gloves alike, and then secure
ly fasten the button-holes to it-cutting
incisions of the proper size and sewing to
the edge of the button-holes. If the
seams in the back are torn out, a piece
may be put under and so carefully sewed
that it will show. A worn thumb or
forefnger. may be patched with bit of
another glove, and thus made to do duty
as shopping gloves for some time. Silk,
Isle thread or wooden gloves, if taken
when first beginning to show wear, can
be neatly darned, and are much more
serviceable for everyday purposes of life
than cheap kid.

HE SHOULD HAVE 1T.

In an article on GovERNoR HOLT, HE
DURHAM GLOBE tells some solid truths,
| but makes a slight error. 1t says:
1T is true that he has the veto and par
doning power, but men like HOLT will
not abuse such privilege, and if Tom HOLT
is nominated he will be elected and he
will give satisfaction
The governor of this state has not, so
far as we ever heard, the V TO power. lie
is not even required to sign any bill passed
by the general assembly. He has the
DardOniBg power, butthis we think shou1d
be in the hands OF a p~ardOning board,
| and not lodged in the executive. Like
THE GLOBE, however, We feel that Gov.
ERNoR Holt would not abuse any priVi-
lege the law allows him Raleigh Visitor.
THE GLOBE may be mistaken. Yet the
mistake is not one that could be avoided.
In most all states Of this free and gallo
rious land the governor has the veto
power, and the next Legislature should
give our governor the chance to keep the
legislative members from making asses
Of themselves as they have in years gone
by.
HOLT has male a good gOvernOr-his
record is one of business and progression,
and while he may not receive the nOmi-
nation, the probabilities are that he would
do as well in the executive chair as any
Of the gentlemen VINO have been men
toned to succeed him.
The truth is that several gentlemen of
the state will make a canvas and others
will not.
1t all depends upon the convention
which is another vicious habit.
In a southern state, where all is hope
lessly and everlastingly democratic, all
men who aspire should have a chance to
run for office, and no bought or bribed
convention should have a chance to cut
them off.
We boast that a free expression of the
people and an untrammeled ballot are
two Of the glorious parts Of our common
country, and when we allow a packed
and picked convention to choose our
candidate, we give the lie to all of which
we so proudly boast.
There should be no convention, and in
politics, as in love and other things, every
tub should stand on its own bottom.

THIS Is A

Since BLAINE's delicate bid for the
presidency the papers which shape the
destiny of nations and other things, are
having a terrible time to get things
straight. They are wondering who will
be the Republican Moses Who will under
take to lead the people to that promised
paradise which politicians paint, they
are wondering if HARRISON will be
strong in all parts and they are making
speculations which would put to shame
the seers and a~strologers Of old.
1t is a terrible thing when a nation of
6 ) ,00O,0 900 must depend upon a few space
writers to direct it, when there is not
enough intelligence to choose for itself
outside the paid writer's who write pad
ding.
THE GLOBE is of the opinion that some
day the people will accept all such rot in
the spirit in which it il given and pay
no attention to it. At least THE GLOBE
hopes so.
