HARNESS CLOSETS.

Suggestions Which, If Carried Out, Would
Save Many Dollars.
We do not know who wrote the fol-
lowing. but we know it holds good
deal of truth and some suggestions
that, carried out, would save many a
dollar now spent for harness: 1.-The
regulation horse stable generally con-
tains a parallel row of stalls, back of
which is a partition of outer wall, to
which are attached pegs for harnesses,
halters, blankets, etc. \ little shelf
above may hold curry combs, brushes
and few bottles of lotion. The har-
nesses frequently drop to the floor and
are trampled on by the horses, or even
if they are securely fastened to the pegs
the leather catches all the flying dirt,
which gives them a dingy appearance.
They are also exposed 70 the corrosive
ammonial gases. Why not keep them
suspended in tight closets, as we do our
wearing apparel? Such closets can he
made to utilize space which would
otherwise be unoccupied, and not in
the least interfere with the convenience
of the stable. There are at least two
vacant corners in nearly every stable,
in which the closets may be placed.
Measure from the corner each way on
the wall about five feet At each ter
minal point strike a plumb line from
ceiling to floor, marking it plainly so
that boards can be accurately matched
to il. Tack to the floor a sguare-edged
cleat, running from the line on one
wall To that on the other. Measure the
desired width of door in the center of
the cleat ana set in two light uprights,
reaching from the floor to the ceiling,
using matched lumber. Saw it in
lengths to reach from door casing to out
side corners, saving the farther ends
beveling TO fit neatly against the stall
wall. Above the door full length
boards can continue to the ceiling, and,
with a door hung, the closet is nearly
complete. All that remains is to fasten
the pegs or wooden hooks to the wall
inside, whereon are to be hung the har-
nesses. The whole is q simple job,
which any farmer with saw and ham
mer can 10 in half day.'

On no account should lemonade be
made in any tin vessel, as the acid of
the lemon forms with the tin poison
that is very apt to produce sickness
This is the cause probably of
the various eases of lemonade poison
ing" of which we hear so frequent
ly and which are attribut-
ed to every cause but the right
one 1t is better to drink lemonade
without sugar if possible and in any
event it should not be too sweet. A
physician who has great deal of ex-
perience says that a glass of lemonade
without sugar before going to bed and
another on rising in the morning, about
half an hour before breakfast, is pre-
ferable to calomel for biliousness.
Lemons should not be eaten clear but
should always be diluted with water.

Labor Commissioner Peck, of

the Cleveland men into spasms of rage,
was not an appointee of Gov. llill, as
has been stated, but of Mr.. Cleveland

detested by the Cleveland idolaters is
that he failed either to suppress or to

Convincing Evidence.


The democrats are just now in the
position of the hunter who was looking
for "a grizzly bear and didn't know
what to do with 1t when he found the
animal. They have been looking for
the man who has bad his salary raised
since the passage of the Mckinley bill,
and now that they have found a good
many such men, they wish they had not
started on this hunt. Labor Commits
sioner Peck found eighty-niue thousand
such men in New York, and they are
being heard from individually and
collectively every day. At a mass
meeting in Passaic, N j., one
night recently there was one
speech not down on the programme.
1t was by Joseph Remer, German.
who was in working clothes His
speech was voluntary and from the
door of the hall. 1t was as follows:

Another democratic official has been

missioner Peele. chief Of the Indiana
state bureau OF statistics. He shows
that there has been a marked increase
in wages in all the manufacturing cen

democrat, and chosen to his present
position as a democrat; but he cannot
reconcile it with his conscience to dis
tort and misrepresent facts to bolster a
partisan cause. No doubt some indig.

report was dictated by David b. Hin, OF
New York, bur it will have no more
effect than did the same charge con
corning Pecl1's report, when the fac,
was made known that Peck is one OF
Grover Cleveland own appointees, and
began the investigation on which his
report is based in 1890, long before il
was known that Cleveland would be

dency this year.-Toledo Blade.
