of our watch, but sleep we must, even if small, bare legs do come uppermost in our dreams. Mothers have tried so many ways out of the difficulty, and there are so many mothers, that doubtless my own little plan is not at all original but it is good, and that is better than originality. It is an inn provement on the old way of running a string through the hem of the night dress and drawing it up, because that method cramps the feet somewhat and makes them rebellious and uneasy.
 For bit of two-year-old, five yards of outing will make two gowns, aud six yards will make two for the little four ycar-old next in order. There are grades of outing flannel, but the soft est, fuzziest is what is needed here, and can be obtained at 121l cents yard. First cut off sleeve lengths for both little nighties, then halve the goods left and lay aside one-half. Take the other piece and fold it in the mid. de, and proceed to shape the ends> The shoulders and arm sizes may bo formed with the two ends together, as they are the same for front and back, and then the neck may be cut in shal- low slope behind and a deeper curve in the froDs. Now you are ready to sew up the sid IS lover and over," stitch the shouldGr seams and gather the neck into a title, flat binding. Then cut the sleeves, rounded little at the top and with only one perfectly straight ipSila Tho S,1narfun,1S frllnacS is gathered into a ruffle at the wrist, with an elastic run into the top of the hem so that it may set very close to the wrists and keep them warm. The mittens are pasted into the sleeves at the wrists, and if they are to be made of outing to match the dress you will need to get little more goods, as the five or six yards does not allow much margin even for wee mittens. The night dress opens behind, and the opening should extend a long way down as a needful convenience, and be closed with five perfectly flat, small buttons.
 When the little gown is complete, mittens and all, there is one defense up against Jack Frost, anyway, and other defenses are more easily erected with it's aid.
 If desired, the sides of the gown may be gored little, but the fuller the folds at the throat the warmer it will make the dress.
 Of course woolen goods may be sub stituted for the outing, or any other changes made, provided the bag is left! And the bag must be long, way below the ten little toes, or else the ten little toes will make strenuous objection. As it is, there may be little objection at first, but when you have instituted a jolly little ''sack-race" to bed, think the little folks will come over to your side in a majority.-Annie Hamilton Donnell, in Country Gentleman.

Directions for Making a Good KniSe-
 Board nt Home.
 The steel knife is universally recog- nized as the very best table knife. The silver-plate knife is more convenient to use, as it requires less cleaning, but the edge is not as keen and it is not as useful as the pure steel knife. Bath brick or emory powder with sweet oi; Is still considered the best material fol cleaning knives. A homemade knife board with a hinge is a great conven' fence in family. To make such 2 cleaner, take two pieces of board about ten inches long and four inches across, and about an inch thick. Stretch chamois leather across one side of each board, tacking it down witE nails around the edges. Unite these two boards by two hinges, so that the leather covers come on the inside, ap- ply the powdered bath brick and sweet oil or tho emory and sweet oil to one of the leather sides. Put the knives inside one by ore and move them ur and down as in rtN1bing to clean them, turning them over as one side is pol lished. A number of knives may be cleaned in a short time by this method, | A simple board covered with chamois leather and largo cork will accom-. plish the same result, but it will re- quire much more time, and the hinged board once made will last for all timA N.

The De adly Wilson Bill.

If the democrats do not m ake, in time to influence the next elections, a better showing than this of their use of power and of their discharge of an obligation Tom Johnson tells them plainly that they twill lose one branch of congress, if not two, and will begin their travels into the wilderne $ again, to stay there," he hopes, till party having the courage of democratic convictions arises" This prediction will unques- tionably be fulfilled; the premonitions of the coming of such fate were seen in last falls elections. And thus amply warned by some of their own number as well as by disinterested outsiders, when they find themselves once more wandering in the wilderness, helpless ly and hopelessly, far from the sweets of office and the pleasures of power, they cannot blame others for their plight; they can only apply the kick of tardy contempt to their own lean and hungry bodies. - Providence (R.

eS The democrats are doing a pow erful lot of foundering and accom- plishing very little. The party is split in two on the question of imposing an income tax, and it begins to look as though it would be unable to put through such a measure. As the burn- ing desire of the managers of the de- mocracy is to get sufficient revenue to run the government, why don't they profit by the experience of the repub- licans? All they need do is to an- nounce that the Mckinley bill will be allowed 10 stand as it is, If they do that business will soon recover, and the country will again prosper as it al- ways did under a republican protective tariff.

ROYAL FISH.

An article is going the rounds of the
press entitled ''Her Majesty's Tips"
which shows some of the peculiar royal
prerogatives. Among others it is mem
toned that she has the right to every
whale or sturgeon caught within GER
tain distance of the coast of England.
The article goes on to say that in case of
the whale, the monster was divided be-
tween the king and queen, "the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robe might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for the stiffening of
her royal garments.'' Evidently the
writer of the article in question was
more particular about making his story
coincide with the formation of the whale
than with the facts. Blackstone says
that in the division of the whale, which
is known as ''royal fish," the king
took the head and the queen the tail,
the reason given being that she might
get her whalebole, ETC., and Mr.. Cooley
in commenting on this in a foot note
says that "the reason for the division
was more peculiar than the division it.
self, as the whalebone came from the
head" All of which goes to show that
the ancient lawmakers of England knew
as little about what they were doing as
their more modern brethren in Wash.

West Virginia having gone republi-
can, it is already conceded that Stephen
B. Elkins is entitled to represent the
state in the United States senate. That
he has been persistent worker for the
party cannot be denied; that he is un-
fit for the position is equally undeniable.
With the example of Tammany before
them the republican party, in the flush
of victory, can well pause before con-
senting to emulate its misdeeds or adopt
its tactics. The American people are
uneasy and restless, as witness the
landslide of two years ago, followed by
the greater landslide.of Tuesday. The
democratic party took possession of the
government with an immense amount
of confidence and very small stock OF
judgment. 1t thought its position was
impregnable, but its fortresses fell as
though built on sand at the first attack.
West Virginia, no doubt, has hundreds
of honest and able republicans who
would be credit to her in the senate
but Stephen B. Elkins is not one Of
them.

Senator Jones of Nevada knew thing
or two when he turned populist. He
knew his way back to the senate for one
thing, and he also knew that the only
road led through the populist party, or
rather the silver party, which is practi-
cally the same thing. The legislature
that will elect jones' successor has a
large majority of silver men, and it re-
mains to be seen whether they will be
caught with Senator Jones' sudden con-
version and re-elect him. As matter
of fact Senator Jones is just as much of
republican now as he ever was. He
believes in free silver, but that is a be-
lief that is shared by thousands of good
republicans. and was no reason why he
should have left the party. Jones will
probably go back to the senate, but he
will vote with the republicans in organ
izing the senate, and upon all other
matters, being independent only as far
as silver is concerned.

The free coinage of silver evidently
did not suit the democracy of Missouri.
Congressman Bland, who is perhaps the
most rabid silver man in the United
States. was badly beaten in state
where nominationon the democratic
ticket heretofore has been equivalent to
an election. Our free silver friends can
hardly lay the blame of democratic de-
feat on the fact that the demonetization
of silver stirred the people up against
them. If it was free silver that was
wanted, why was this, its disciple, sc
unceremoniously downed?
