Bright Things.

The Viscountess Sherbrooke, wife oi
Robert Lowe, the well-known English
statesman, was woman of strong char
acter, and she challenged criticism in thai
she was in the habit of saying whatever
came into her mind at the moment.
She had sense and courage, a hear
and head, and she bore large part in
her husbands public life.
One repartee ascribed to her shows thai
she was at least ready with loyalty OF
speech.
The French ambassador one day said
to her somewhat patronizingly:
"You know England is said to be a
land of shop-keepers, l had no idea Of
finding there such great military
displays"
"Ah," she replied, "the people Of diff
ferent countries do not understand each
other. Now, l have actually been under
the impression that the French were a
great military nationp np-Youth'sCnm-

"Pretty well, mother-but it's such a

THERE is nobody or nothing in this
world that is so often crossed in love as

Some Democrats are trying to use the
argument against Mr.. Kirk that he is a
deputy. They neglect though to state
that for twenty years the Auditors
office has been In the hands of deputies,
and that the last Democratic Treasurer
and Clerk were deputies. In the Dem
ocratic party it is the rule to give offices
to deputies. A Democrat ought to be
the last man in this county to say any
thing against deputies succeeding their
chiefs, but if man is competent and
of high character, as is acknowledged
of Mr.. Kirk, what difference does it
make whether he is deputy or not ?

The Democratic leaders have been in
timating that they have copy of a letter
alleged to have been written by Governor
Mckinley to various manufacturers
asking them to not start their mills uutil
after the election, and it is evident that
they intended to launch some such a
story just previous to election. Gov.
Mckinley has spiked that gun by de-
nouncing the story as false and malicious
in every particular, and it such letter
is in existence it is forgery.

Fit men for the place should cut some
figure in the contest for county offices.
The idea held by the Democratic papers
of this county as to these places is a
most degraded one. They seem to think
that the offices should be given as favors
as sinecures, to some class of people.
The tax payers do not as a rule think of
them in this way. The men who attend
to the duties of these officers are public
servants, paid by the people for trans
acting the peoples business. The better
qualified man is to do this work. the
less extensively and the more expedi-
tiously will the peoples work be done.
Let the voter have this in view when he
is making up his mind as to whom he
shall vote to place in these positions.
Where. where is the fruition of Demo
cratic promises? Where is the plentiful
work, the high wages, the good old times
promised last year by Democrats ?
Where will the voter find these things
The people who promised these blessings
too-what are they doing? They stand
before the country, which looks on the
spectacle of million men camoring for
the privilege of working they stand out
as liars-lying prophets, whose predic-
tions of unlimited prosperity to follow
the success of the Democratic party have
resulted in eight months of disaster.
Will the voters believe these disgraced
prophets again? Will intelligence and
common sense be led again by the nose
Every Republican vote must be depos-
tied in the ballot box on election day.
Every vote is needed, and the Republic
an leaders in each precinct must see to it
that there are no stay at-homes. With a
full vote victory is assured; without a
full vote all is doubt. No Republican
should think there will be enough with
out him; others may think the same way,
and thus change victory to defeat.
There is danger in over confidence. Earn
est work will count in making votes for
the Republican candidates, and only the
votes deposited in the ballot box will be
counted in the result. See that every
Republican ballot is put where it will be
counted.

she had not learned one thing thoroughly.
Girls, let it be your aim to master at least
one subject. If you have taste for music,
study it so that your proficiency can be
turned to profit; if it be cooking, painting,
sewing, any language or science, do not dip

public school training, teachers and wise

Nothing in the bathroom should be so
carefully looked after as the sponge. That
but little consideration is given il is daily
shown in the fcrlorn and neglected con
CitiOn Of this very necessary adjunct to
cleanliness. Instead Of being left to dry in
the sponge basket, it is, as rule dropped
down in some corner and allowed TO soak
or given one sided chance on the sill out
side the room. 1t is simply useless to ex-
pect TO keep your sponges in a sweet and
wholesome condition SO long as they are
treated in this manner. In the first place
they must not only be thoroughly washed,
but in order to prevent their becoming foul
each part of the sponge should be exposed
to the air Fastidious women see to it that
this toilet article is each week cleansed by
dropping it into water in which large
lump Of soda has been dissolved, alterward
boiling it for sixty minutes, when it is
rinscd in cold water and given sun bath
until entirely dry. Always rinse all soapy
suds from your sponge and then throw it
into your basket, which should be hung
just outside the bathroom window. A
sponge cared for in this fashion will never
be Shiny, sour or musty.-Jenness Miller

Safe Place for the Baby.

Should there happen to be baby in the
family and yet at the same time an I'M
pleasant shrinkage in the family bank &C
count so that nursegirl is regarded as an
impossibility, don't be discouraged. Get
an old fashioned clothes basket made Of
twisted willow, line it with thickly wadded,
quilted or tufted silk, just as you prefer.
Then put the basket on the floor and this
time instead of filing it with clothes just
gently drop in the baby The basket is pc
culiarly adapted to the needs of II baby who
is just learning TO stand alone. Its chief
merit consists in its safety, for when the
baby is once inside it cannot possibly be
harmed and may stand up or sit down ac-
cording to its own sweet youthful will.
The basket from which this idea is taken
was lined with faint shade Of pink wadded
silk, the outside and handles being silvered
A rattle tied to the basket and rag doll
were it's sole decorations, and these were
quite sufficient, according to the baby S
idea. With one of these baskets in the
nursery the baby may be safely left alone
for a short time and be amused as we'll

If n lamp is properly brushed out with a
stiff little brush, which may be kept for the
purpose, there is no need of washing the
burner All that is necessary is to wipe
the burner out in every part with soft

be kept for the purpose. This keeps the
burner bright and free from surplus oil and

to brush of the charred part and thus al
