If the British case before the arbitra-
ton commission is SO strong as the
Democratic papers appear anxious to be-
lieve, it would seem as if Sir Charles
Russell could afford to keep his temper.

Between the hours of 10 and o'clock
today Frank G. Almy will be executed at
the New Hampshire State prison for the
murder of Christie Warden 1t rarely
happens that man steps upon the scat
fold without somebody's either believing
that he is innocent, or that his punish
ment is too harsh. But Almy's crime
was so clearly proved that nobody can
deny his guilt, and it was SO brutal and
so unprovoked and so evidently pre-
meditated that nobody can suggest any
thing in extenuation. Even many dis
believers in capital punishment are in
olined to make an exception of this case
Yet the chances are that Almy will go to
the gallows protesting that he never
intended to kill Christie Warden and
that the shooting was accidental.

Fresh ground cloves placed among cloth

What to do with scorched places on
cloth is a question that sometimes puz-
zles the careful housewife. Ii the scorch
is not too bad, dipping the article in soap
suds and hanging it in the sun for some
hours will be likely to remove it. Ii the
day is dull, hang the pieces before a
CRATE fire. Scorched spots that are very
bad and yet have not consumed the fibre
OF the goods, are said to be restorable by
repeated dipping in saturated solution
OF borax. The saturated solution as the
chemists call it, consist of as much salt
or crystal as the water will dissolve. 1t is
always safe to put in little extra; if the
borax stands undisturbed in the bottom
OF the bottle, one is sure of the full
strength solution. Repeated clippings
OF this. with exposure to sun or fire
light, will remove what are by most
housekeepers considered hopeless

ICE CREAM CANDY.
Boil three cupfuls of sugar, one
quarter of teaspoonful of cream tartar,
and one-half cupful of water, without
stirring, until when tried in cold water
it is brittle. Turn into a well-buttered
platter or on an oiled marble. As it
cools fold the edges toward the centre;
when it can be handled stretch until it is
white and glossy. Flavor and color as
desired, putting the tlavoring in as it is
pulled, and cut into sticks or small
pieces. If the candy is preferred
very brittle, cook until, when tried in
cold water and the candy raped against
the side of the dish. it will break; if a
softer kind is wanted, similar to

THE HON (.
THE DELICIOUS SPINACH

| AS this is the season of spinach, saws
the New York Tribune, it is well to call
the attention of housekeepers to the fact
that this is a vegetable which is very
much improved by being cooled and re-
cooked. This process may be repeated
an almost indefinite number of times
| with increased improvement. Spinach
is quite often sold in the markets of
Paris already cooked, hashed and drain
| ed, SO that the purchaser may serve
| it a la cream, la maitre d'hotel. with
gravy or in any other way he may fancy.
The story is related of Brillat-Savarine
that after the same dish of spinach had
| been reserved on his table u times he
declared that it never could be eaten in
| perfection until the 18th serving.
AS spinach IS often cooked it is a
coarse dish, whereas it should be one of
| the most delicate and refined vegetables
| that come upon our table. In order to
free it from certain rankness of the
green leaf it must be blanched. To do
this, wash it very thoroughly, cut off
| the stalks and boil it in abundance of
| sailed water for Is minutes. Then drain
| it through colander and immense it in
| the colander in pan of cold water.
When it has become thoroughly cold
| drain it again and chop it fine It is
| now ready to be cooked and is in the
condition in which it is often found in
the French markets. 1t may be kept in
this condition over night or for number
of days. AS rule, spinach is cooked
too long. 1t is not uncommon for New
England housewives to cook it for one
or two hours, and the result is coarse.
flavorless vegetable, poor in color and
only made palatable by smothering it in

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEpERs.

A teaspoonfui of baking powder al
ways means heaping teaspoonful. A
spoonful of dry material, whether a
teaspoonful or teaspoonful, unless other
wise specified, always means rounded
as much above the spoon as the spoon
rounds underneath.
Scalloped Goldfish is made with al
ternate layers of the salt fish, freshened
and shredded and stewed tender with
bread crumbs. Have bread crumbs for a
top layer. and just before putting in to
bake, pour over half a cup of plain
drawn butter sauce.
A French authority On cooking gives
these rules for testing the heat of an
oven: Try it with a piece of white
paper. If too hot the paper will blacken
or blaze up; if it becomes light brown,
it is fit for bread and the heavier kinds
of cake; if light yellow, the oven is ready
for sponge cake and the lighter kinds OF
desserts.
Care should be used in selecting the
pictures that are to be hung upon the
walls of the nursery. They should not
be coarse daubs of color, nor pictures
that may arouse fear or apprehension in
the child's mind when it is old enough
to understand their meaning. One
timid child used to hide her head under
the sheets at night, because their was 3

Gov. Fishback of Arkansas is making
what appears to be a sincere attempt to
put down lynch law. His success will
depend upon the condition of public
opinion. What that condition is is by no
means certain. In most of the Southern
States lynching ''nigger'' appears to be
regarded as IA excusable, if not praise
worthy, act, and occurrences in the past
have tended to show that this feeling is
shared by the Arkansas people.

Ex-Gov. Bulkely of Connecticut GER
tainly has the courage of his convictions
In hearing on the corrupt practices act
IN answer to a question (which is the
greater criminal, he who sells or he who
buys vote, Gov. Bulkely according to
the Hartford Courant, answered by say
ing 'fthat there were lots of voters devoid
utterly of principle themselves, without
any knowledge of their party's princi-
pies. You cannot influence them by
argument, and believe that they should
be influenced by those who know what
is right. / don't believe that there's
more honest man in Connecticut that he
who for days work goes to the polls
and votes as you want him to- The
Governor further said that if the voter
was ignorant and without principle it
was perfectly right to secure his vote by
whatever means you can use. If influ-
ence such as Bulkely evidently had in
mind must be brought to bear on the
class to which Gov. Bulkely refers it
would be more in consonance with our
theory of government which presupposes
an honest and intelligent electorate to
exert it in the direction of keeping them
away from the polls altogether. In our
ordinary political campaigns there wide
difference of opinion as to what is
right among intelligent and honest vot-
ers, that which seems right to one appear
ing just the opposite to others, so that
if a man is hired to vote one way or the
other, he will appear to good many to
have been hired to vote wrong. If
money must be used in elections, as Gov.
Bnlkely seems to think, it had better be
used to keep the ignorant and unprinci-
pied FROM going to the polls at all. In
this case the end at least will be good
one in the eyes of all intelligent and hon.
est men, though the means will be con-
demned. To hir G this class to vote for
some particular measure or man is to
invite the condemnation of all the
community as regards the MEANS
and generally nearly half of it at least
as to the end. If the ignorant and I'M
principled have become SO large faction
that it is necessary to bride them to pre-
vent their overcoming the intelligent and
