How to Repair mirrors.

For repairing mirrors accidentally scratched clean the bare portion of the glass by rubbing it gently with fine cotton, taking care to remove any traces of dust and grease. If this cleaning is not done very carefully, de- fects will appear around the place re- paired. With point of knife cut upon the back of another looking glass 0 portion of the silvering of the re- quired form, but a little larger. Upon it place drop of mercury-a drop the size of pins head will be sufficient for surface equal to the size of nail. The mercury spreads immediately, penetrates the amalgam to where it was cut off with the knife, and the re- quired piece may now be lifted and re- moved to the place to be repaired. This Is the most difficult part of the opera tion. Then press lightly the renewed portions with cotton and the glass presents the same appearance as when new.

as havens of refuge where the dis gruntled babies could be effectually soothed, clever arrangement, which, however, prevented the other persons concerned from witnessing the per formance. Accordingly maids were secured, so that now the mother sim ply buys her ticket and deposits the baby in a room. Here, with goodly amount of the lacteal fluid and gew- gaw or two, the mutinous youngsters enjoy life in their own peculiar way while the mothers take in" the vaude- vile in uninterrupted bliss.
 In some places where the number Is very large special rooms have been fit- ted up in building adjoining the the ater. Here the infant is deposited and the mother receives a check: "No. 101, deposited at 9 p. m., to be called for at 5:30." This method, as Mir. Welman, of Proctor's theater in New York, admits, |'is more systematic and prevents all property dispute. But yet" he re- marked, "it has some drawbacks. For, you know, a mother always wants to be near her child and likes to see it often. Now, in our theater she can go back and ask: 'Ooze little baby is oo?' as often as she pleases and still return in time to see the next living picture, whereas in the other way she may miss q whole act."-Detroit Free Press.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
The People to Do Further Burdened by
 Democratic Extravngance.


 Democratic Extravngance.
 The announcement is made from Washington that the secretary of the reasury--having freed himself of the inglorious Howard case--is about to ask for bids for S5o,0Oo,0o0 United States bonds. It is learned in advance that these bonds can be disposed of in New York city for their market value in gold. This is necessary to repair the inroads in the gold reserve and to rehabilitato the treasury, which, un- der Mir. Carlisle's management, has never been able to make both ends meet
 business of the country should be good, though as matter of fact the currency locked up in the banks to. day is, if it were released, more than ample to meet all the demands of trade, and if this addition helps in any way the help will be sentimental We are told that these will be 5 per cent. bonds on per cent. basis, which Is form of financial juggling to begin with to which the United States can. not well afford to be party. If 3pei cent. is to be the basis, then it would seem to be plain common sense that the bonds should be per cent, foI the government cannot afford to be Q party to speculation. The fives issued last February when the gold reserve--which, under the law. should be kept at s1OO, 1000, OOo-had sunk tc SG2, 900, 900, sold for 11s. If the price should be as high now the present sals will bring in S59,0o0,00O. Three per cent. bonds should sell at par, and we could dispose of ss5, ,Ooo, ,OOo in bonds al that rate, at but fraction more cost to the nation than $50, ,00O, 900 at 5.
 While Wall street is certain thai the new loan will be made and specu. lation is taking form from the belief, Mir. Carlisle half denies it But then he did the very same thing on the eve

of the loan made last February. At the present time the gold reserve is only SG1, ,0OO,0 00o, but of late the ten dency has been to rise rather than di. minish. For the rest of the fiscal year-it ends in June, '05-the roy enues should exceed the expenditures, that is if we keep within the appropri. ations, but this has not been done un- der n democratic administration since the war. Of course it will not do to deplete the treasury, but with ordina- ry business management there should be no need to burden the people at this time with the interest on an ad- ditional debt of S5O,OOO, ,0OO.-N.

Something About Hosiery.

A cotton stocking is preferred by many women to a lisle thread, as the twist of the thread in the lisle ones irritates the soles of the feet. Dark blue and black stockings are liked for street wear, except where tan shoes arc worn, and then, of course, the stockings match the shoes. The navy blue stocking is usually chosen by those who find that the dye from a black stocking affects their skin. This is by no means common, but the very minute it is discovered one should cease wearing the black and select an- other color, or else wear white, for one never knows to what extent skin dis order may go. With gray or scarlet shoes or slippers the stockings are chosen to match, and these may be got ten in silk at a much lower price than
 is given for black ones.

 perity.
 The republican victory in the con gressional elections was brilliant and conspicuous. There was an adverse democratic plurality of ninety-two to overcome, lead which has seldom been exceeded by any party in any con gross, but it was easily plotted out and a republican majority of ample pro- portions put in its place. It is vic tory over which the republicans can well afford to exult They had heavy odds to contend against at the outset because of the tremendous majorities rolled up by the democracy in 1890 and 1892, and on account of the prestige thus gained by that party, but they surmounted all the obstacles enthus- iastically and grandly, and secured a majority sufficient to give this canvass a prominent place among the half a dozen great revolutions which have occurred in the elections of congresses.
 The election has given the ''coup de grace" to the idea that the south must be solid for the democracy at all times ultt uuucT ull CiTCullSltuCeS.' ne re- publican gains in that quarter indicate that some of the states will be fairly debatable hereafter like those of the north, and that no one party has perpetual lien upon the suffrage of that section. In the present house the democrats have one hundred and twen- ty.one of the one hundred and twenty seven members chosen in the sixteen ex-slave states, but in the house elected their number was largely reduced. In the south as we'll as in the rest of the country the republicans gained ground. This ground they undoubt- edly will retain. The solid south is Q thing of the past. It is obsolete, knocked out, abolished. It has gone to join the relic of barbarism which was responsible for it. Henceforth there will be two parties in the south instead of one, and the ability and fit-

BAG FOR NEWSPAPERS.
So Simple That Any Ingenious Woman
 Can Make One,

Can Make One,
 The pretty pocket illustrated re- sembles huge envelope in appearance, the flap serving to preserve the con tents from the dust, which, as everybody knows, is very apt to collect among un' bound papers. For the foundation of the pocket, cut piece of buckram to seventeen inches in width and twenty. one inches in length. Cut of the cor ners at one end to the depth of seven inches to shape the flap, and fold up six inches at the other end, to make the pocket.
 Now prepare the cover. Colored linen is a good material to use, being both pretty and durable, but it is quite possible to nuke charming case of coarse canvas, embroidered in cross stitch with thick make of cotton. Cut the linen the same shape as the buckram, but half an inch larger all round.
 If white or colored flax thread Is used for this purpose there are many of the Mountmellick stitches which would have a very good effect-coral stitch, for instance, would serve for outlines, Indian filling for the leaves, and feather-stitch for the stems. The let ters may be traced out with fine cord. Another plan is to paint the design and to outline it with gold.
 The decorated linen should then be stretched over the buckram which is next lined with sateen, or something of the sort, to suit the color of the linen. Bring the raw edges of the lining over to the right side of the pouch and sew them down. Sew up the sides of the pocket firmly and

Chocolate for Dinner Invitations, Brown
 for Rejected Lovers.
 In Europe, and especially in France, there is among fashionable people a species of code in the use of sealing wax. The white article is used for communications relating to weddings, black for mourning correspondence, violet for expressions of sympathy, ,chocolate for invitations to dinner, red for businessletters, ruby for the billets- doux of engaged lovers, green for lovers not yet affianced and brown for refusals of offers of marriage.
 Blue symbolizes constancy, yellow scaling wax jealousy, and pale green reproaches.
 Schoolgirls seal their letters with pink wax, and intimate friends use gray.
 The use of sealing wax is exceeding 1y ancient. It was not, however, until the reign of King Louis XIII. of France that it became the fashion among the higher classes of Europe.
 The oldest known recipe for making sealing wax was published in Augs- burg in 1879, and prescribed almost the same ingredients as those now em- ployed.
 The use of blue wax was formerly restricted to royalty, a superfuous provision owing to the difficulty of im- parting this color to sealing wax, for the reason that vegetable dyes when united with wax become greenish.

ness of the candidates and the char acter of the policy for which they stand will determine which party shall be dominant, as is the case in the north.
 A halt has been called on the tariff tinl1ering. This will be the first and most important result of the congress sional election. The house chosen will not only be a barrier against all as saults on the tariff whether inspired by the white house or by the senate, but the popular temper which that house reveals will influence legisla- tion long before the new congress can go into existence. There will be no further raids on the country's indus tries by the present congress This great republican rising will be a man. date from the people to the democracy tc take it's hand off the tariff immedi- ately. The popgun bills which passed the house few months ago will never go through the senate, and the others which the democrats of the house threatened to pass will never see the light of day. The war against the na- tion's productive interests and activi- ties is ended. Trade will have a chance to adjust itself to the new conditions, the financial clouds will be dispersed, and the shackles with which the de- mocracy bound commerce will be broken. The election is a glorious victory for the country. It means i'm proved business, renewed progress and abundant prosperity.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Theatrical Idea Which Pleases Play

 Take Care of Infnuts.
 ''Well, declare" exclaimed a lady upon entering one of the large theaters tn New York city. That's something Il would never do." The "that" in question referred to rather unique custom which is rapidly coming into vogue in this ever-progressive country.
 In some large cities there are thea ters which give continuous perform ances from noon to eleven p. m. Any person paying for a seat can occupy it as long as he or she chooses, and no ef- forts are spared to render the audience entirely comfortable. Refreshments are close at hand, and as the enter tainment is of the light vaudeville order, with the scenes constantly changing, these play houses have come to be popular resorts for all classes.
 But soon after opening, one great drawback was discovered Mothers and nurses with infants of all ages and temperaments flocked to the theaters, and confusion instantly ensued. In the midst of the most thrilling scene where the prima donna touched her highest note, a dozen youngsters from all parts of the auditorium would Sc, mp shrill and discordant chorus of walls. Of course, the aspiring infants were quickly hustled out by sundry 'nshers and supes, followed by humili- .ated mothers or maids.
 Nevertheless the number of these habitues seemed to increase, and the proprietors were confronted with the necessity of meeting the difficulty. Ex- tra rooms were fitted up, which served

 Nevada was carried by the free sil- yer 16 to populists.
