Put little soap on that crealiing gate
Or door hinge and permanently stop that
intolerable nuisance of noise.
When frying eggs, keep the edges
turned up with teaspoon as fast as they
whiten. This will keep them from be-
ing tough and indigestible and make it
easier to lift or turn the egg without
breaking the yolll.

on the line from the toes, as then the

smoke, sprinkle the spot with salt and
the fumes disappear.

The standard may be set on the table
with the lamp where one is at work, or
the lampmay be placed on the floor, and
two chairs, with a broom handle placed
across the top of them, will answer the
same purpose. The heat from the Roch-

that it will boil water placed over it in q

THE Objectionable condition Of wheat

the inventive genius of Jack Snyder and
that gentleman has manufactured and is
now operating machine which he claims
will thoroughly dry and render market
able as irst-class grain all the wet wheat
that the farmers will bril G to him. The
invention, as it is now being worked,
consists OF a two-incn gai3GnTzed iron
pipe, which, filled with hanges, forms a
worm or augur. This is kept heated to
a certain temperature by steam and is
made to revolve through a trough of
like material also heated with steam.
The wet wheat, by turns Of the augur
is made to pass through this trough,
and after making the journey twice
energies dry, though hot. When cool it
is ready for market as frst-class wheat.
The machine is capable of drying about
1000 bushels per day, and as far as the
trials go, promises to be OF great value
in such years as this. The cost of dry
ing will be but small, while the differ
ence in price between dry and wet wheat
amounts TO fully 10 cents per bushel,-

Sugar Remains Free.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1.-THE
senate finance subcommittee devoted
nearly all the day to work on the tariff
bill. They held brief conference with
Voorhees,. The whisky tax and bonded
period will be considered tomorrow. 1t
looks now as if sugar will be allowed to
remain on the free list, and that the
income tax will be retained The sub
committee has definitely decided not tn
change the wool ochedule in the house
bill. The wool men have not, however,
given up the fight, but say they will
appeal from the decision of the commit
tee to the senate, and are putting in
good deal of time laying facts and argu
ments before the individual members
The Democratic members of the &C M
mittee tell the Republican members that
the tariff bill will certainly be in shape
for presentation to the full committee
next lueSudI.
Shoup of Idaho gave notice in the
senate today of a number of amend
ments he intends to propose to the
Wilson bill. The amendments make
grapes dutiable at 60 cents per barrel of

Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, February 8, 1894
1t required all the power of the ad
mnistration to force the cuckoo Hawaiian
resolution, condemning ex Minister
Stevens and approving the Cleveland
policy, down the throats of the demo-
Gratis Of the house. Directors we're
plainly told that unless they voted for
the resolution it would be waste of
time for them to ask the smallest favor
of the administration, and even then it
took two days to get a quorum of dem
ocrats willing to vote for it on the floor
of the house. 1t was finally passed, but
there is not single man who voted for
it who can honestly say that he is proud
OF his vote. The senate committee has
completed its investigation and it Is ex-
pected that the resolution which will be
adopted by the senate after the report
of the committee is made will be free of
cuckooism.
A bill was this week passed by the
senate-that repeating the federal cleo
tion laws which the democrats believe
will, through the solid south and tn
crookedness of such organizations ase

petuate the power of the democratic
party.
The administration is alarmed at the
probability OF renewal of the silver
fight over the Bland bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage in the treasury, now
before the house, and the proposal to
attach free coinage amendment to the
tariff bill in the senate. Secretary Car
Isle attempted to get the Bland bill
changed so as to make the coinage of
the seignioaage optional instead of COM
pulsory, but Mr.. Bland and the silver
democrats would not agree to the change,
and now the administration and anti
silver men are trying to prevent action
on the Dill by breaking quorum.
There were lot of very mad men in
Washington when the announcement
was made that the democrats on the sen.
ate finance committee had finally decided
not to grant hearings on the tariff bill.
The republican senators were angry be-
cause they had been assured by the dem
ocrats on the committee that hearings
would be granted to all representatives
of important industries who might de.
sire to be heard and they had SO informed
their constituents. The men who ex-
pected to be granted hearings were
angry because they hao been deceived

The autocrat of the white house has or
dered that the tariff be railroaded
through the senate and the democrats
on the finance committee are bent on
obeying orders, even if il does place
them in a ridiculous attitude. Repub
licans are not expecting the bill to be
rushed through the senate no matter
how soon 1t may be reported from The
committee. There are enough demo
cratic senators who oppose the Cleve-
land programme to prevent it being car
ried out, although they may in the end
be whipped into the support Of the bill

ments in the interest of their ccnstItu-

The senate judiciary committee has
postponed the decision ON the nomina-
ton of Peckham to the supreme court
until next Monday. 1t is believed that
the committee will make an unlavorable
report and that the nomination will be
rejected by vote as large as was cast
against Hornbower Indeed, unless
some of the charges, particularly that OF
being vialently intolerant of the opinion
of others, are false, and thew have not
been disproyen, he is so untitled for

should be rejected, even if Mr.. Cleve-

The administration added insult to

thirty republican clerks-a number OF
them Union yeterans-in Diminishing
them from the pension Office, by causing
the statement to be published that the
clerks we're discharged for drunkenness

seem that the democrats might have

Of their places without trying to prevent
their securing places in private employ
