The delay in work on the tariff caused
by the deliberations of the conference
committee, is affording an excellent OPP
portunity to dispose of some other nee
essary business, and Congress is wisely
taking advantage of it. The appropria-
ton bills have been pushed along with
such commendable speed during the past
week that, while last week not one of
them had been taken up in the Senate,
now they are practically all disposed of.
1t is good example of how expeditions
~ the public business can be done when
congress is in a mood for it. The re-
suit will be that when the tariff bill
co mes back from the coference commit
tee it will be the only business left to
be attended to, and Congress can ad-
Journ as soon as it has made up its mind
IN what form to pass that measure, or
whether to pass it at all. OF course
there will be no attempt to take up any
other general legislation at this late day.
Several very important subjects like
national bankruptcy and currency re-
form, will then be passed over to the
next session, when good many con-
gressmen will perhaps know more than
they do now.

uniforms to Scare the Enemx.

According to the report prepared by
the war department, red uniforms were
first adapted by the Emperor Valerius
Maximus in order that the Roman sol.
diers might not be frightened by the
sight of their own blood. To this day
the children of England are told that
this is the reason whv French troops
wear red trousers, and French children
are taught the same notion respecting
the red coats of The British. The legion
-. gs of ancient Rome wore the skins OF
hears on the field of battle to make them
look fierce. For the same reason they
put figures Of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd cps-
tom springs modern crests and armorial
bearings. The idea of soaring the enemy
by such devices has been perpetuated up
to quite recent times. Tall bearskin
hats were originally adopted TO make
them look taller by the French cuiras-
siers, each of whom carried handful
of grenades for scattering among the
ranks of their foe. Troy Times,

DEMOCRATS WILL BEM LIME.

The triumph Of democracy in state
and national politics Is of utmost i'm
portance to the state and country, and
when the democratic slogan is sounded
after the nomination every democrat will
Law aside all considerations save the I'M
nortance of victory and feel as though it
was his own fight, and his own chosen
candidate whose success was imperiled.
Soldiers of the lost cause will close up
and initiate the patriotic example and
respond to the brave and unseltish ad-
vice of the gallant old hero, Clement
A. Evans, who, with the hopes and am
billions of proud heart shattered,
tramples under foot the wounds of dis
appointment and magniies his own
greatness by upholding the standard OF
duty.
Georgia owes him debt of gratitude,
and when her pulse beats calmer and she
recognizes what she has done to mortify
and disappoint this brave, true man Of
steadfast integrity and peerless worth
will take him to her maternal heart and
crown him with exalted official dignity
in token of her love and appreciation
Georgia owes him now m-re than ever
the recognition that honor demands she
shall bestow, and that to forget win re
dound to her everlasting disgrace.

Wine In Bottles,


The increas9 of the strength of wine
by keeping depends upon whether it is
kept in cask or bottle. If stored in cask,
there is constant increase Of alcohol.
The ancients knew that wine improved
if kept in leatheyp bottles. and the same
result is obtained by keeping it in wood
en- vessels, for both leather and wood
are moro easily penetrated by water than
BY alcohol. Evaporation ensues from
both, but more freely from water, and
the wine consequently becomes richer
in alcohol On the other hand, the opin-
ion that wine has grown old Ii bottles
ana therefore become Stronger is thor
ough1y false. Evaporation is very much
hindered by the cork, even when this is
not covered with rosin and sealing wax.
The simple explanation of our finding
old bottled wine rich in alcohol is that
only the stronger wines can be preserv-
ed and the weaker ones cannot resist
the effects Of time. At the same time,
although all wine must eventually be
spoiled and weakened by keeping 1t in
bottles, yet some kinds acquire, as a
first consequence of that cause which
afterward destroys them, and which is
neither more nor less than the chemical
alteration in their constituents, proper
ties which render them more agreeable
both to smell and taste. Brooklyn Ea-

A67UT RINGS.

Fifteen or twenty years ago great
ring was organized in Georgia. 1t was
inside the democratic party. The pol
iticians who controlled got together and
parcelled the offices out among them
selves. The governorship, senatorshid and
all the subordinate places were letto the
highest bidder-that is, tho man who
could control the largest number of
votes. 1t began in the seventh district,
but its branches extended through the
state.
DR., FELTON, tackled it with all the vim
and energy of his nature. He denoun-
ted it frorn the stump, through the press
and "wherever two or three were met
together"
The result was that FELTON, went to
congress. the ring was smashed, it's lead
er emigrated to the wild and woolly-
west, and the democratic party was
saved.

cR0ve6'S BACKBONE.

A Washington special says that he fl
nancial statement which Mr.. Cleveland
sent out by the press association last
week was caused by visit of some New
York financiers oyer here, They came to
persuade him to make another issue OF
bonds. They agreed to place $50, 1000
in New York and New England. But
Mr., Cleveland remembered the protest
that went up from the country when he
made his first issue. He had no idea OF
facing such another protest and told
these New Workers plainly that hewould
make no bond Issue, even if they agreed
to place them at high premium.
To emphasize his determination to
make no further bond issue, to make
this determination public and to attempt
to stir up some little patriotism among
our New York bankers, he wrote that
statement. In his blunt way he did it to
let them know that they could not be-
guile him into another bond issue. He
has determined that the gold reserve
shall stick to the very stone flooring of
the treasury vaults with not enough
gold dollars to speckle the stones before
he shall make another bond issue.
If there is ever to be another issue of
bonds during his administration he says
congress shall authorize it. He will as
sumo the authority no more without an
express act of congress.
The plain statement Mr.. Cleveland
made to the New 7TArkers, who were the

and gobble.them up, is said to have dis
solved the syndicate. If that is true,
this money may be put out in other di-
rections and matters financially may be
eased up thereby.

Those New York millionaires who
threatened to pack up all their worldly
goods and make their home in London
in the event the income tax became a
law will, no doubt, calm down when they
ascertain sthat England has an income
tax law, and that residents of London,
whether :they be natives or foreigners,
are compelled to pay it in return for the
protection which they and their proper
ty receive from the government. Our
millionaires Twill now have to settle in
some foreign city other than london to
escape the payment of the income tax

ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

The sun rose over the field OF wheat
And warmed the breath of an early spring.
The smiling flowers made the morning sweet,
And there were caroling birds to sing,
And by the brook were children at play,
Planning their childish games for the day.
But the sun sank over field of red,
Leaving no wheat nor farmhouse there,
Only the CHASTITY lines of the dead
And blackness and ruin everywhere,
And along the brook, instead of play,
Were the silent forms of blue and gray.

Sun Spots.

It has been observed that after the
sun spots have been at minimum the
summers are hotter, just as though there
was more heat coming from the sun at
such periods, and the fact has been ac-
counted for by supposing that sun spots
are caused by vast clouds of matter
erupted from the sun and condensed in
the surrounding space. These act as
screens and prevent the suns heat from
radiating freely through them, From
an examination Of statistics A. B.

England during the hot summers, fol-
lowing the n1inima of sun spots, the

HINTS ABOUT PlcKLING.

PICKLES should be kept well covered
with vinegar, and not be used for
month after making. They are better
still when a year old.
DIP the jelly bag in boiling water
and wiring it out as dry as possible be-
fore use; this saves loss of fruit juice
from soaking into the cloth.
In all picking and preserving, use
only granite ware or porcelain-lined
kettles. All metals are liable to be
dangerously attacked by the acids.
BETTER buy ones own spices and
mix them; those sold as 'whole mixed
spices" are not reliable, as the mix
ing" is often very imperfectly done.
BOILING fruit may be poured into a
glass vessel, without danger of break
age, if the glass be set on folded
cloth which has been dipped in cold
water
A GOOD wax for sealing may be made
of q pound of resin, two ounces of bees
wax, one and one-half ounces of NUT
ton tallow, melted together and run
into sticks.
SEVEN pounds of fruit, three and one
half of sugar and pint of vinegar Is
the standard proportion for all man
ner of sweet picking. The spicing may
be varied to suit tho taste.
ALL green fruits which are to be used
for pickles must have a sllting treat
ment of not less than twenty-four hours;
either in brine made Of Il cupful OF
salt to gallon of water, or in salt
pack. Housekeeping
