Household Hints.

Never gather currants or other small or
seed fruits Immediately after rain for
preserving purposes. as they are apt to lie
watery.
When straining fruit for jelly, do not al
low the juice to drip into tin vessel, as
the acid in the juice affects the tin, and it
i'll return changes the color and taste of the
juice.
Boiling the milk and allowing it to cool
before using for custard pies pays well for
the extra trouble by making the custaid
more firm and not so apt to be watery if
the oven is too hot, as often happens.
To cleanse grease from wood or cloth or

of warm soft water; turn this into quarts
of cold water, add 4 ounces OF aqua ammo

STAINING FLOORS.
Suggestions For Doing 1t In Satisfactory
NTnnnar

Suggestions For Doing It In n Satisfactory
Manner.
There are several ways of treating floor
or any part Of it that is not carpeted-yiz
staining, painting, enameling and even pa
pering. But staining is perhaps the most
popular 1t is n great economy TO do this
ones self, ms the principal cost lies in the
workman's charge. With little care it
ran be nicely done, and the following direc-
tions will also assist the amateur workwo-
man:
Remove all tacks and pound down pro
jecting nailheads, plane off INEQUALITIES in
the floor and fill wide cracks with thin slips
of wood or some kind of composition. For
this there is nothing better than plaster of
paris or whitening made ipto paste with
water i'll which glue has been dissolved, the
addition of the glue preventing the plaster
from shrinking, cracking and falling down
between the boards. This mixture can be
colored to suit the tint of the boards if the
latter are cid and discolored and is best ap-
pliei with Il palette knife. The superfluous
stopping must be removed before it has
quite set. Nail holes. etc, can be filled
with the same composition. 1t is as well
not 20 mix up too much of the plaster ut a
time, anc the solution should be kept warm
with view to preventing it from setting
x.
When the floor is quite smooth, the stain
must be applied with IL large brush, great
care being taken to lay it on evenly After
the stain is quite dry the stained portion
must be sized. The size should be fairly
hot, or it will set or CONCEAL on the floor in
stead Of soaking in, but it must not he too
hot, or else the grain in the boards will rise
up i'll small but unsightly ridges. These
ridges if not TOO deep, can be removed by
the use of line glass paper. Finally, when
the size has com pletely dried, the floor must
be either waNed-i. C., polished with thef,-
miliar becswaX and turpentine-or var
nished. Two coats of hard oak or copal
varnish will give fine and durable sur
face.
Now as to the stain to be used. The IA
vorte color for q stained floor is dark
brown, and vandyke brown mixed into a
paste with water and thinncd down with n
strong solution of alllali is much employed,
for the alka;i washing soda is rs good IL,
anything, though potash or AMMONIA is
sometimes preferred. If ammonia is ,iseA
the stain can be applied with a soft cloth or
sponge, but the fumes Viii be unpleasant.
This s1alp is to be subsequently sized and
vanished. When the place to be stained is
only aportion of the floor around the walls,
the middle to be covered by II carpet, it is
an excellent plan before beginning the
work to mark out this space by drawing II
chalk line, being sure to make the space n
little wider than the area that will actually
be exposed to view, so that the edge of the
carpet may lap over upon it.

FRAUD, ENCORE FRAUD.

We copy this morning from the West
Point Virginian a statement by Morgan
Treat Esq, together with several at
hdavits concerning alleged frauds in the
recent election in the Ssth Senatorial
District. The West Point Virginian Is
on the ground, It knows the character
Of the people whose statements it pub
fishes, and we may fairly assume. there
fore that the witnesses are credible from
that paper presenting their testimony
to the public
And what a scandalous picture Is here
shown us! Are such proceedings as these
to be tolerated in our elections? Are they
elections at all when a chief OF police
in his uniform uses his club upon voters
head to Influence his vote, az Mr.. Roll
lison described it, and voters are openly
cheated out of the result OF their votes,
according to the statement Of these wit
nesses.
Gentlemen Of the Legislature, this thing
must be corrected or you may as we'll
prepare yourselves for rottenness and
corruption In every quarter Of this State
from the top down to the bottom.
No people can thrive that tolerates
such scandalous proceedings as these.

it's demand for a reformation Of our

The truth is that despite the very hard
times, Of which every newspaper man
has felt the weight through his sub
scribers, the bona fide paid circulation
OF our daily has Increased both in the
city and in the country. and our weekly
even more than the daily, and we are

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING.

An editorial article in yesterdays Dis
patch contains the following:
As 10 the intimation contained in a
letter published inrrhe Times that money
was used to secure Mr.. Martins nominal
ton. We must say we do not suspect any
member OF the Legislature Of having
sold his vote. II would seem, however,
that powerful extraneous influence was
brought to bear in favor of Mr.. Martins
nomination.
1t IS this belief which causes murmurs
OF discomfort, and along with them criti-
cism Of members who, by their votes in
this matter, have disappointed their con-
stituents.
These are stings left by the caucus's
action; stings left by the caucuss action;
action; stingS that we should rejoice TO see
removed in the interest Of the Democratic
party, and I'm order that Mr.. Martin may
more efficiently and acceptably serve our
people in the Senate Of the United States.
If It be true that Mr.. Withrow who
was referred TO I'm The T1mes's letter. or
any other member OF the General Assem-
bly, knows personally or by information
received from others Of any facts bearing
upon this point-facts showing that undue
influence was used or sought to be used
upon any Legislator-we trust that he
VIII rise In his seat and state them. Bet
ter that this should be done now openly.
boldly, decisively, than that rumor should
go unchallenged and our new Senator's
influence be impaired thereby.
When the Dispatch can bring itself TO
say that ut would seem that a powerful
extraneous influence was brought to bear
in favor Of Mr.. Martins nomination" st
may be very well understood that every
body else is saying the same thing.
We say that it is the duty of the Leg
islature TO investigate this matter and
find out just what there is in It. The
Legislature is now under a suspicion. If
the suspicion is unmerted the Legislature
owes It TO itself and to Virginia to have
that suspicion lifted. If it is a fact that
money has been used TO influence the
votes Of members Of the Legislature that
fact should be made known that the
guilty parties may be exposed to the
scorn and contempt they deserve But
the subject is one which the Legislature
cannot ignore. 1t should appoint COM
mittee 10 investigate 1t at once.
