Early Domestic Education.

Let domestic education COM
mence from the cradle, and then
you won't hear so much about the
uselessness of the girl of this period.
Let the little girl not as tall as the
table wipe the knives, forks and
spoons and dust a few chairs. On
baking days let her make actual
biscuit and bake them in a real
oven. When school days begin,
there will be time for domestic en-
ployment. It is better to insist
upon no study at home, and then
the light household tasks will ben
eft and not injure.
As girls grow older let them be
given more important work. Pro-
mote them from time to time to the
charge of somedepartment. Change
works till they have gone the rounds.
During the summer vacation trust
the whole administration of the
household for time to the young
housekeeper. Such an education
is within the reach of every family
in the land. It is even advised by
some to keep daughters at home
from school term in the year to
give them domestic training. And
It is practical advice too.
All teachers acknowledge the
ruinous effects of irving to sscram"
knowledge into the heads Of young
children. Yet ambitious parents,
who wish their daughters to grad
uate" at 16 or Whereabouts, win ex-
toll the teacher who will make it
her aim to see that so many books
are consumed in SO much time.
Learn things thoroughly as they
come along and do not load down
the mind all at once with q mass
of unavailable knowledge.-New
York Telegram.

are largely the result of extrava-
giant contracts made by his prede-
cessor. His credit must be pro-
tected and nothing will do that but
prompt payment of his obligations
as they mature, and to do that he
must have money and it can only
be had by borrowing it on his note.
That is precisely the position of
the administration in announcing
an issue of bonds.
A striking exhibition of fanati-
cism run wild is given by criticism
of Mrs. Cleveland by members of
Pennsylvania branch of the w.
G. T. u, because she followed the
usual custom and broke a bottle of
campaign in chritening the steam
ship st. Louis, launched at Phila-
delphia last Monday. The criti-
cism is all the more senseless be-
cause Mrs. Cleveland is consistent
advocate of temperance, never
drinking wine at her own or anyone
else's table. In this case she was
an invited guest and had no more
to do with what was to be used at
the christening than a guest would
have to do with what was served on
your table.

Getting Rid of Grass
ITimes-Democrat.l


The Agricultural Department
has at last taken hold of the matter,
and its circular shows how the CO.
Goa can be best extirpated. The
best season for fighting it is be-
tween midsummer and frost time,
we are informed, and the most use
full process is the frequent stirring
of the soil. This stimulates the
tubes, and when the sprigs show
themselves they should be cut off.
There is no necessity for going be-
low the surface for this purpose be-
cause that entails additional and
severe labor without compromising
advantages. If the sprigs are cut
off above the surface before the
towering period has been reached,
it is said that within two years the
evil will be entirely eradicated.
One season it is promised will prac-
tically subdue it and leave nothing
but scattering sprigs for the Sec
ond. Another plan is to choke or
crowd the cocoa out with crop of
vigorous growth. This plan has
the double virtue of paying for it.
self, the value of the crop being
ample to meet the expense of the
work. The crop should be planted
in the fall after the summer crop
is harvested. Crimson or red clo-
yer is recommended as the most
available crop for this purpose. 1t
has the effect of improving the
soil and affording excellent winter
grazing, and is adapted to almost
any section of the country.
The problem of getting rid of the
cocoa is, therefore, it will be seen,
not difficult as is imagined, and
requires only work and care. The
cocoa once exterminated good per-
centage will be added to the crops
raised, and at the same time the
cost of cultivation will be material
lv reduced.

OurjWaslIingtOn Letter.
WAsHINaros D. c.. November 10. 1884

WASHINGTON d. c., November 10, 1894.
Those Republicans and Populists
who are trying SO hard to make
somebody think that they believe
the Democratic party, as a national
organization, is dead, are merely
making themselves ridiculous. The
Democratic party which, to go no
further back than the memory of
every middle-aged man, made six
successive unsuccessful Presiden-
tial campaigns defeated in five at
the polls and one at the hands of
an abortion known as the electoral
COMMISSIONS not to be killed by
dissension among a few of its prom
inent members which resulted in a
stay-at-home vote large enough to
defeat it in a Congressional election.
On the contrary, that defeat will
eventually make the party stronger
than ever before, because it will re-
suit in showing some of the promi-
nent experimenters that deviations
from the established principles of
the party will not be tolerated by
the voters; that thousands, aye mil
lions of good Democrats will refuse
to endorse any half-and-half prin-
ciples, preferring defeat to compro-
mise with principles they have
been taught to oppose. The recent
election was a bitter lesson but the
future will prove its usefulness.
President Cleveland IS not spend
ing much time at the White House
just now, because the time is short
between this and the assembling of
Congress and his annual message
to Congress, which will be one of
the most important to the country
and to the Democratic party he has
ever written, requires his entire
time and he can work undisturbed
at his country residence, something
which experience has shown him
he cannot do in his Office at the
White House. During his yaca-
ton the President devoted much
time to studying the financial sys-
tenn of the country, which is gen.
orally admitted to be radically de-
fective, and the result of that study
will be shown in the recommends
tons of his message to Congress.
No Democrat can possibly regret
the issue of bonds, officially an
nounced this week by Secretary
Carlisle, more than does President
Cleveland and the members of his
cabinet, but in the face of the ne
cessity for preserving the national
credit, and in the absence of any
other method, owing to the system
inherited from a long series of Re
publican administrations, regrets
were idle and action imperative.
When merchant finds his credit
endangered, owing to his receipts
being less than his expenditures,
he cannot afford to waste time In
regrets because those expenditures
