working order it permits population
OF 27l, ,909 Republicans to elect four
Senators, while the Democrats must
have a population of 4SO,61S to elect

67,977 commands one Senator in a
Republican district, while it takes q

the practical politics of the grand old

The Detroit Free Press says: The
40Oth anniversary of the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus is
to lie celebrated this year in many
places with elaborate ceremonies. The
eyes of all the world are fixed OH
Chicago, where all the nations of the
world are to unite in honoring the
famous mariner and his equally IA
nous voyage. 1t is understood, also,
that on Christopher Columbus Day
there will be fitting obscrvances in
every American city and town. Spain,
too, will pay her national tribute of
esteem to him who "found new
world for Leon and Castillo" AS for
Italy, she remembers the great Genoese
and will do her part to make the an
niversary memorable. Not one of
these celebrations. however, will sur
pass in historic interest that which is
10 occur at the little port Of Palos, in
the southwestern corner of Spain. 1t
was from that place, on August 8, 1892,
that Columbus set sail on his voyage
of discovery, and that place was the
last land he saw, far astern of his
little fleet, until after many weary
weeks he sighted the sandy shores OF
San Salvador.

Painting II House.
market.

There is a fashion in c6lors just now
fer house painting which has agreeaby
DISPLACED the old style of clear white,
with green for the blinds. Darker col
ors. with more pleasing contrasts, have
come into favor. A popular shade for
body color is gray or yellow stone OF
drab. and either of these is used lighter
or q arker as the taste of the owner or
surroundings of the house may make de-
sirablc. The trimming for any OF these
colors NAV be darker shades of the body
color. or chocolate or maroon, or shades
of brown or dark green, as that called
bronze green. The sash may be painted
dark red and the blIds of the darkest
greens. To mix paints, take pure white
lead and thin it somewhat with boiled
oil. and then add turpentine to get the
final degree of thinness, or the lead may
he thinned with hard oil finish. which
dries quickly and becomes very hard ana
durable. The colors chosen are mixed
in small quantities separately to get the
RIGHT shade and thorough interming-
limo and the whole is then mixed to-
oether. When putting on the paint the
FIRST coat should be thin and the second
a little thicker, but when laid on too
thickly the paint will be sure to scale on
New York Times.

The postmaster at Diego, Penn. was
on trial recently for opening letters.
1t looked very bad for him until his
little daughter came into court and
confessed in childish language that
she was the guilty one. She said she
saw letter addressed to the first
assistant postmaster general at Wash
ington, and thought is was being sent
by some one to injure her father. So
sho thought she would open it and tell
her father. The judge fined her $50.

AROUND THE HOUSE.

Instead of keeping food hot for late
corners by putting it in the oven, cover
it loosely with tin and place 1t IN
vessel of hot water. This will keep the
food hot without drying it.
To test the heat of the oven for baking
bread put your hand in and if you can
count twenty rather rapidly it is cool
enough. The heat should be kept as
steady as possibly, dying down only
towards the last of the baking. Rolls
REQUIRE more moderate heat than
loaves. so that the best time to bake
them is when the heat is diminishing
after loaf baking.
When a carpet has become thoroughly
dingy and soiled, take it up and have 1t

it down temporarily on the floor and
scrub it thoroughly with clean water and
ammonia, using two tablespoons OF am
monia to the gallon. In case OF grease
spots extract them with benzlne before
the carpet is scrubbed.

The majority of the sculptors at
work in Chicago for the Worlds
Fair are said to be Americans by
birth or education. Carl Bitter, who
is doing the architectural sculpture
for the Manufacture and Admins
tration buildings, has been in this
country but two years. Robert
Kraus, who has the sculpture for
Machinery Hall, halls from Boston,
Richter, sculptor for the Fisheries,
belongs in Chicago, Philip Martiny,
sculptor for the Fine Arts Building is
identified with New York city. Carl
Rohl Smith is included among the
American sculptors; he has the Elec-
tricity Building TO decorate. Frederick
McMonnies of Brooklyn, Laredo Taft
and John Boyle are natives of this
country. 1t may be added that Mr..
Prettyman, to whom very respon-
sible position has been given, namely,
the head Of the color department, is
English By birth and education.

The Canadian Government is trying
experiments ON an extensive scale in
the cultivation of trees. At the
Central Farm, near Ottawa, the seeds
of Rocky Mountain and European
conifers have been literally sown, and
in 1891 175, 900 seedlings were trans
planted from the beds to be distributed
later on to branch farms and private
expcrimcnters, who arc to send care
full reports of progress. Twenty-Five
gardens along the main line Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway have been
supplied from the experimental
farms.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago is to
use ten times as much electricity as
was generated at the Paris Exposition.
The plant will cost 81, 800, 900, and
will be twice as large as any now IN

conveyed over the grounds in a system
of subways, and as fifty separate con-
tracts arc to be let for the electric

DR.. Rochard, the President of the
French Society for the Protection of
Children, pointed out lately that
France loses 100000 infants every
year, and at least one hundred thou
sand can be s,ved. Nor can the coun-
try afford TO lose them when the
deaths outnumber Che births by 40, 900.
1t is therefore now forbidden, under
heavy penalties, for anyone to give
infants under enc year any form of

DOROTHY HANCOCK'SB BIRTHDAY
PARTY.

ouoth the Governor to his dame,
When the French feet sailing came
Into Massachusetts Bay,
eve must make a feast straightWay.
Spread a board of bounteous cheer
For the gallant Admiral here"
Nothing loath the three-ycars' brlde'
Fair Dame Dorothy, complied,
And with fine housewifely zeal
Planned at once bounteous meal
Fit to set before king,
Or a kingly following.
But. alas! when all's complete
Comes this message from the fleet:
Might the Admiral dare to bring
To this goodly gathering
GAIL his officers, and then
Certain of his midshipmen"
Who can paint the dire dismay
Of Dame Dorothy chat day?
Thirty guests she'd hidden there;
Now SO late as this prepare
For hundred more at leastf
Just q moment stood she there,
In irresolute despair
Just a breathess moment-then
She doth call her maids and men.
And herself doth lead them down,
To the green mall of the town.
Where her neighbors' cattle Craze
All along the grassy ways.
There they MIXED the grazing herd,
At the fair Young madam's word,
While the townsfolk stood and stared,
Wondering how she ever dared
Take such liberties as these
Without even eff you please"
But straight on the milking went
While the fair young housewife sent
Mounted messengers here and there.
Borrowing of her neighbors' fare.
Not a nelghbor said her nay
On that memorable day.
Fruits, and sweets, and roasted game
From their larders freely came;
Cakes and dainties of the best,
At Dame Dorothy's request.
Then triumphantly she flew,
Spread her tables all anew,
Whipt her foaming milk to cream,
While just down the harbor stream
She could see the approaching guests,
With their starred and ribboned breasts
Long before that day was done
All the townsfolk, every one,
We're they young, or were they old,
Laughed appiaudinsly when told
How Dame Hancock spread her feast
For ga hundred more, at least
