1t Is very common habit, but great
mistake to mend gloves with silk, as the
silk will cut the kid more than fine cotton
thread, thus showing the mend far more
plainly. For the same reason. according
to a correspondent of The Housekeepers'
Weekly, it viii not hold the edges of the
kid so firmly, but instead will cut through
in time. You will notice that all kid gloves
are sewed with cotton thread. The manu-
facturers understand the difference in the
material and use the most satisfactory
Thread of all shades, especially put up in
twists for glove mending, can he bought
for tritie. If glove is badly torn or
ripped try to match its color with bit Of
silk. Lay this under the torn part and
basic it carefully down in small stitches
that do not show on the right side Then
draw the rip mp as carefully rs you can,
taking up very little of the kid as you do
so. Neat glove mending is nice art, and
worthy the consideration of every eco
nomical woman.

ARRANGING THE FURNITURE.
Sensible Suggestions for Making Ourselves
and Our Guests Comfortable.

Sensible Suggestions for Making Ourselves
and Our Guests Comfortable.
There should be a place for each member
of the household in any room, and atten-
ton to this causes the furniture in some
measure to arrange itself and be so placed
that it shows to the greatest advantage
and can at the same time be used by the
owners in the best manner possible, saws
The Decorator and Furnisher, in which is
found, also, the following advice:
In arranging the furniture of an apart
ment, no matter how small the room is. a
great amount of comfort and a certain idea
of unlimited space is always given by plac-
ing screen judiciously by the door; this
prevents the whole of the room being on
view at once, and gives an opportunity of
placing a chair or two behind it, which we
could not do were the door to open into
the passage and leave yawning gulf be-
hind ones back, or were it to open into the
room and so leave an exposed place at
once, where no one could sit, because they
would feel they were sitting in the passage;
and again no chairs should be isolated or
put out of humanity's reach; if they are,
they will be surely sought out at once by
some shy caller or visitor, and we shall
have to spend our time endeavoring to
draw him or her into the circle. We do
not mean that our chairs should be ar
ranged rs if assembled at prayer meeting
but that they should be in reach both of
ourselves, the fire in winter and the win
dow in summer, and of the light always;
then we shall be quite sure our guests are
happy, or if they are not, it is their own
fault and not ours

Never soak wooden garments Make a
strong lather of soap with very hot water:
let it cool, aud when lukewarm wash the
fiannels quickly, without ever rubbing
soap on them. Shake them in the water,
clap them between the hands, hut avoid
the ordinary rubbing, as it is apt to pull
them out OF shape. If not clean repeat the
process with fresh lather; rinse at once
In clean, tepid water, without blue, chang

SATURDAY. JULY 80. 1892.

The Republican. party is likely to have
the help of several very influential in
dependent newspapers to supplement the
work of It's own powerful and well man
aged press. All the New York papers that
count for anything will be on its side. The
Times, the Tribune, the Herald, the Press
and the Recorder have together ar
enormous circulation at this end of the
State. In Hudson county it must reach at
least $4,000 a day and $4,000 on Sunday. All
these papers will hammer the Democratic party
and especially the Hudson Democracy with all
their might. There will be nothing to offset
this. The political influence Of the World is
very small in proportion to its circulation as
q news medium. Besides, the course of
that paper is so neutrality-suspicious. il
calls itself-as to make it practically useless to
its party. The Sun will not enter into Jer-
sey politics. In the McDermott campaign it
never raised q finger for the Democratic candi-
date Besides, it would be glad to see the State
60 against Cleveland. In short, the Democratic
party win have no means to reach the people
except its own local organs. In this county,
TEE JxRcry Cry NEWS will have the task of
defending the party, single-handed, against all
the agencies stated above.-From the Jersey Ctty
Keirs of July 20.

-or at least zone for popular favor.
There nay be a competition of adul-
alton to the party boss, but the pub
lie hears little or nothing of that.
When the time comes, the boss speaks
and every one bows down. 1t is not to
be wondered at that the bright and
self-respecting men of the party are
never to be found in these contests.
As for the Democratic struggle, it
may continue active down to the mo-
ment when the last delegate in the
nominating contest records his vote.
1t may v have the external signs of
bitterness. But, the majority having
spoken, the candidate being named,
all jump in together. Then we are
all one Democracy; we have one
standard, n leader, one cause and
one hope.
Wait and see how it will work after
September.

Concerts at Eldorado.


Tomorrow afternoon and evening there
will be a concert of the highest order at
Eldorado where it is always delightful
and cool.
These concerts have made a big hit.
Over 10000 people went over last Sunday.
bu the grounds are SO large that more
could have been accommodated without
crowding. Indeed, there seemed to be
room for thousands more in the fine
park. A number Of prominent vocal ar
lists have been engaged for tomorrow,
among them are Garcia Reigg, prima
donna soprano late of Royal Opera
House, Berlin. Miss Rosa Linde. the pop
ular contraito, aud the Swedish sexteJ.
Theordore Hooks cornet solos will also
be a feature. Director Nathan Franko's
programme for the day is very elaborate.
and those who go there will find much
to please and amuse them.
The hot weather has been favorable to
the beautiful park on the Palisades for
the warm nights drove great crowds
from the city TO that cool resort. 1t is
high above the Hudson and one could
not wish for a pleasanter place during
these hot days and nights. Many visit
ors to New York from abroad who have
seen the place are astonished to find that
New Workers. do not know more about
1t. Today will he a good opportunity to
see the place and hear some very fine
singing and more very good music.
Egypt Through Centuries with its
fine spectacular features is an attraction
of great merit. Those who do not care for
the ordinary spectacular show have
much to see that is very entertaining in
the big ballots, and those who do not
care for the ballots will like the spectac-
ular features. Both are worth going a
long way to see. But the ballet seems to
grow upon New Workers. That fact Is
pretty well established now that two
prominent Broadway houses are soon to
be devoted almost exclusively to it.
The Jersey CiJy Annex boat leaves
every evening at 7.30 and returns at II. Is.

The substantial success of Henry E.

Camille D'Arville, at Palmer's Theatre
has definitely settled the future of the
organization. "1he Mascot" has achieved
a distinct triumph, and it would not be a
surprise il it continued until Mr.. D;xsy's
new purlesque, "Adonis H." is ready in
the fall. The Lorenzo" OF Mr.. Dixey IS
as neat a Bit of humorous character work
as has ever been seen in the metropolis,
while Miss D'Arville's "Bettina' never
fails to arouse the enthusiasm of an au-
'dience. The remainder of the cast aud
the chorus are most competent.

Our esteemed contemporary the Gazette finds
in the bronze-washed sheetiron monstrosity in

below of the blast, and a grandeur in the
growing of a gale and even "a fascination
