HINTS TO WOMEN eATAERs.

Do NOT place too much trust in but
tons and strings. Reinforce all fasten-
ings by safety pins.
DON'T venture beyond your depth and
allow yourself to be rescued more than
once or twice during the season.
DoN'T show your love of the water by
staying in very long. 1t merely makes
ones lips blue and ones complexion
mottled.
Brown locks or golden, done up in
coquettish knots, are pleasanter to look
upon than oilskin caps. But salt wa
ter plays havoc with coquettish knots,
The woman who is learning to
swim" is the recipient of much more
attention than she who knows how to
swim. Therefore never quite master
the gentle art of swimming, but al-
ways be about mastering it.
WHEN you are ready to open the door
of your bath-house and appear before
a critical company, remember that
matters will not be improved by delay,
and that the best place in which to
hide your abbreviated draperies is in
the water not in front of the bathhouse
door
Do NOT promenade the beach or lie
in the sand after your bath. You have
seen chickens and other animals whose
natural element is not water, after a
drenching shower. Be warned by these
humble members of creation and betake
yourselves directly from the waves ia
the dressing-room.-N. Y. World.

Shysters Again to the Front.

Stepping briskly out Unsuccessful
fights for Congressional nomination
all over the country is that same
old political cantata-the lawyer
candidate.
He is entering the campaign with
the same old stock in trade-an
ounce of honesty and a pound of
verbosity. His profession has
taught him the trick of turning
black into white even before the
critical watchfulness of a judge or a
jury; how much greater, then, is
his chance for deceiving an average
political audience.
The handbooks of campaign COM
mittees and the editorials of parti-
san newspapers have taught him
how to mix his wordy red fire; he
has carefully memorized a few pat
economic aXioms whose chief value
is in their euphony; he has oiled up
the Sluce gates to his lachrymal
duets; he has entered into sweet
communion with Joe Miller's joke
book; he has donned an old suit,
and behold him-he needs nothing
except a hall or stout barrel.
The chances are he will come to
Congress-. And what then? He
finds himself thoroughly at home.
The atmosphere of polemics and
parliamentary fencing is quite
natural. "What the tariff! Oh,
that is merely a question of the
biggest pull, and never can be, set
tied on business principles" "
And so it cannot-while such
men make laws. All over this
broad land are quiet workers bent
over ledgers, are minds busy with
inventions, are workingmen at
work with manual tasks, are farm
ers going to work with the rising
of the sun, and the interests of all
these men are in the hands of
shyster legislators. The danger of
the situation is great enough to
threaten the perpetuity of the re-
public if it is allowed to continue.
If the American people will not
elect business men to conduct the
nations business, then for the sake
Of the safety of the nation let them
order the tariff out of politics, to be
settled by the men whom the tariff
actually affects and to whom the
issue is not the plaything of patron
age, the topic for theatric talk, or
the opportunity for committee
room ategy.-WashingtOn Times.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

If you would preserve the beauty of
plated silver, keep it in warm, dry
room.
If the rollers of wringer are sticky
or covered with lint, pass cloth damp
ened with kerosene between them.
A sooTY chimney can be cleaned by
firing a gun or pistol up the fue. The
conclusion dislodges the SCOT and IL
tumbles down.
MHDEw may be removed by rubbing
common yellow soap on it, then salt
and starch over that; rub all In we'll
and lay in the bright sunshine.
INSTEAD of keeping ice in dish,
where it will quickly melt, tie flannel
loosely on the dish so that 1t drops into
the bowl, and keep the ice In flannel
bag.
A GOOD cement for china consists of
a quarter of an ounce of gum aracia
dissolved in half wineglassful of boil-
ing water with sufficient plaster of
paris added to make stiff paste.

NEWSPAPERS OF THE WORLD.

OF all the newspapers, big and little,
good and bad, published throughout
the world more than half are printed
in the English language. Think of
that!
UNITED STATES and Canada lead with
eO,9s4.
GREAT BRITAIN is second with 5000,
followed closely by Germany's 5000.
The French support 4, 300, little Japan
1000 and the land of macaroni and hand
organs 1900.
IT requires exactly 1900 to satisfy
the literary tastes of the natives of Aus
tro-Hungary.
ASIA, exclusive of Japan, prints 1000,
Spain $50, and the czar, with the aid Of
his censors, edits 800.
AUSTRALIA is also credited with 800,
Greece 200 less, Switzerland 45O, Hol-
land and Belgium 800 each, all others
1000.

To keep irons from rusting wrap
them in common brown paper and
put away in dry place. If they
have become rusty they may be
made smooth and bright by putting
some white sand on smooth board
and rubbing the iron over it several
times.
Alcoves and recesses for beds are
abominable. They cannot be pro
perly ventilated to keep the mat
tresses and bedding sweet.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Take These Hints Into Your Kitcher

INC hOoC AIIlO Oul NElNhCH.
There is not the least excuse for
grimy, discolored cooking dishes.
With even an ordinary amount of
care the tins in ones kitchen may
be as bright and shining as the
silver displayed on the buffet.
Cake tins, patty tins and frying
pans don't require as much wash
ing as the average cook supposes.
If she only turns her labor in
another direction much better re-
suits may be accomplished. The
trouble is in washing such utensils
they are rarely ever thoroughly
dried, and in a little while they
grow dull or rusty. After the
cake has been removed from tin
and the dish is yet warm a piece of
clean brown paper will do the work
of soap and water.
Frying pans may be thoroughly
cleansed by setting them over the
fire with a small bit of fat and letting
the fat melt and almost burn into
them, then vigorously rubbing with
bits of clean paper until they are
dry and shining. OF course, these
methods cannot always be employ
ed in place of washing, but they
are decidedly better aids in keeping
tins new and bright.
Baking dishes, especially pie tins,
often get discolored and burned,
and even soda and water will not
clean them. Then is the time you
should bring into use a piece Of
emery paper, or perhaps cinder
picked from the hearth. Rub
vigorously over the roughened sur
face and it will soon grow as smooth
as ever. The articles can then be
washed in the usual manner.

What They Mean by "Cheap Money" j"

Why should the money power be
opposed to the free coinage of silver?
Because the issue of any money by
the government either paper or coin
will cheaper the currency of the
country and materially interfere
with the profits of the money power.
What is meant by "cheap'' money?
The purchasing power of money
depends upon its quantity. The
law of supply and demand applies
to money as well as anything else.
When money is tight-hard to get,
it requires more of labor's product
to buy dollar than when money
is plenty. The object of the money
power is to control the finances of
the country-tO contract or expand
them at will. 1t cannot accomplish
this when money is plentiful, it can
when money is scarce. Hence the
money power opposes the free coin
age of silver or any other issue of
money by the government.-Popu-
list Tribune, Butte, Mont.
When a bushel of wheat will pay
a dollars worth of debt, interest,
or taxes, the money power calls it
"cheapn money. When it takes
two bushels to pay dollar of debt,
interest or taxes the money power
calls that ''soundn money. DO you

Fall in the Price of Farm Crops.

The farm crops this year if sold
at the prices of 1873 would net the
farmers 81, 800, 100000 more than
they will receive for their crops.
This change for the worse is un-
mistakably caused by the demoneti-
zation of silver and tn national
bank control of the money. There
is no other reason that has the
shadow of plausibility when closely
aud searchingly investigated. And
these are both cardinal principles
of the republican party. Deny it
who can.

Simple Questions Simply Answered.

Why do people very often allow
a cold to run on? Because they
think it will wear away. Why
does the cough that at first caused
no alarm become deep seated and
chronic? Because the proper
remedy was not used. The way to
break up any cough or cold, no
matter if other medicines failed to
benefit you, is to try Pan-Tina, the
great remedy for coughs, colds and
consumption, % and so cents at L,

New shoes can be worn with as

stuffed to the shape of the foot with
cloth or paper and patiently

Children should have several
hours of play every day in the open
air, if possible. Vigorous and spon-
taneous action of this sort is better
than gymnastics; and if girls were
allowed by social custom to play as
boys do they would cease to be
subject to spinal deformities.

Poor Puss' Loss is the Fashionable
Girls Gain.

A hundred tons of cats tails
were recently sold in one lot at
London for the purpose of ornament
ing women's wearing apparel. AS
suming that an average cats tail
would weigh a couple of ounces,
this would mean that no fewer
than 1,792,000 pussies had been
killed just to supply this one deal
alone.
