Bacon's Virtue.

English children eat unlimited bacon
and thrive upon 1t, physicians over there
estimating 1t almost as good as cod liver
oil and certainly much more palatablc.
But they do not eat it fried to crisp, as
we Americans do. It is cut very thin,
and put in a hot skillet until it curls at
the edges, then quickly transferred to hot
dish and served.

Hair dyeing is branch Of the art Of
beautifying which has been brought to a
high pitch Of perfection. Red hair is,
however, very difficult to operate on, and
indeed an unskilled performer may work
havoc with her personal appearance If she
resolves to do the "cplorinR" herself.

! House Malaria.

Speaking OF house malaria, which is
sometimes said. to be due to the earth from
growing plants kept in living srooms, be-
fore even seeing II these charges be un-
founded, look to the water in the flower
vases, which often becomes extremely un-
pleasant. An expert says: II you do not
change the water in your flower vases ut
least every other day, 1t will become 80
putrid and offensive--unless heavily
charged with charcoal lumps--that no
scalding can sweeten the best glazed jar.
Small vases should have two or three bits
OF charcoal kept in them, and the water
should be changed every day. Rinse we'll
and then refill. The charcoal will serve
its purpose for weeks. II the stems of the
flowers are clipped daily as far up as they
have softened, they will keep az sweet as
at first.
Then, too, as regards growing plants,
depend upon it that, excepting aquatics,
ferns and MOSES, it may be said that the
rooms that are healthy for plants will DO
found healthy for human beings. The OK
cepMons mentioned, naturally thriving in
shaded or marshy grounds, require an pt-
mosphere not desirable for human health.
But the average plant requires sunlight,
warmth and plenty Of fresh air to thrive
we'll, and the human plant requires the
same. Large jardinieres for plants that
must be kept wet should have at least u
quart Of charcoal kept at the under part.

Homework as an Art.

Heusework as an Art.
Housework should be raised from mem
ial service to u domestic art. You must
make it profession, where those who en-
ter into it may he carefully trained and
ranked according to their ability and paid
according to their proficiency. House
work is a more involved science than it
was in the old days when the mistress gave
it twice as much supervision as she does
now. You expect your housemaid to
know all about the care of silver, Of
bronze, of brass, of porcelain, of mahogany,
of glass, of linen, of ivory, of velvet, of
satin, of brocade. Yes, and in America,
where in many beautiful homes only one
maid is employed, you expect her to know
all about cooking too. which is an art in
itself.
You take the recently landed immigrant
girl and expect her to teach your little
babies good manners and to keep them
clean and healthy. You will never solve
the problem Of the home in America in any
other way than this Build cottages where
your girls may be taught scientific house
keeping and hygienic cooking, and trained
to II degree of intelligence that will prevent
your maid from securing your brass with
u hearth brush, or serving ut the same
dinner raw tomatoes, celery and grapes
on hygienic principles
Then you must cease to have different
standard Of treatment for maids outside
yonr household and maids who work in
the house. If II preference Of respect is
shown to either, you should show it to
the girl or woman to whom is intrusted
the health and comfort of your family.
In no other country is domestic art SO easy.
You have SO many labor saving inventions,
SO many delightful arrangements for sim
plifying the detail and routine, such easy
methods Of keeping the kitchen clean.
You expect more of your maids than we
do in many ways. In thefirst place, we
don't expect in middle .alaes families to
have the breakfast tabl6 eted upon Mt
all. The table is laid rfeld& md we have
quite as much served am 80 more boun-
tiful in the matter of knffes md forks and
plates, but we serve the meal ourselves.

DENVER, Col, July 13.-The Rocky
Mountain NelCS will publish tomorrow
correspondence between Grover Cleve-
land and Hon. Blanton Duncan, clearly
showing that Cleveland encouraged Dun
can 10 secure him support In California
at the last election upon the claim that
he would approve a bill for the free
coinage OF the American silver product.
Upon June "a, 1892, Mr.. Duncan wrote
letter 10 which the following occurs:
in fact Mr.. Cleyeand's utterances
have been misinterpreied; for his whole
career demonstrates that everything
passed by Congress 20 restore silver TO
its position prior TO '73 would be endors-
ed by him. The distinction that he has
made indicated a fear upon bis part
that an unlimited coinage OF, the silver
Of the whole world might produce dis
aster and calamity upon our CONNER
cial interests. That he would willing
ly sign q bill providing for the free
coinage Of all the silver from our own
mines, l am perfectly convinced.
This letter was sent both to Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson before its
publication. 1t was written very shortly
after their nomination and extensively
published.
After writing that letter, Mr.. Duncan
informed Mr.. Cleveland that he would
secure the electoral vote Of California
for him by getting editorials and arti-
cles into the chief papers OF Southern
California commenting him along that
line. He also enclosed some clippings
from the Los Angeles Times commend
Ing him 10 the voters OF California be-
cause OF his friendship for silver.
On the 18th OF July, 1892, Mr.. Cleve-
lsnd wrote to DR.. Duncan as follows:
'T received your letter Of June 10th,
accompanied by extracts from the Los
Angeles Times. / thank you for both.
I am glad 10 know that you are work
ing in the line you indicate in your let
ter. and | have not the slightest doubt
but that very great good will be the re-
suit"
In the same letter he also says:
81 know of no one who can avail
himself better OF such an opportunity
than yourself
Mr.. Duncan writes: "Mr. Cleyeland's
letter was tacit pledge TO me that l
had stated his views correctly Noother
construction can be placed upon II; and
if Mr.. Cleveland had any reserva-
tiOps he had no right to ask
OF me the carrying out of the
action which was to give him my
voluntary services without expectation
or demand for payment and reward on
nv part. Mr.. Stevenson thanked me
heartily and do not doubt what his
action will be when the millions ask
him 10 save them from destruction"

In the evening Miss Lillian Blauvelt,
Emil Fischer, Miss Fremstadt and Sig

fully up to the mark. The great mass
chorus made the air ring with THE
Grave in Busento," ELSA OF Caub, F"
Triumph OF the German Lay" spin
Spin," and "Gay Spring is Approach
ing"
The greatest hit OF the Saengerfest
thus far was made by superb quar-

"Rigoletto." The enthusiasm OF the
audience over leaped all bounds and the
people jumped on their chairs and
cheered and shouted. The prize festi-
val chorus will be repeated tomorrow
