Girls Make Q Queer Pledge.

"A curious pledge was taken by a lot of San Francisco girls at the instiga. tion of their pastor, Dr. Martin" said a young woman yesterday. Hast week he delivered a lecture to young women only The majority of persons when they saw the dainty badges pinned on the shoulders of the girls were very much surprised when they learned the import. They had signed VOW, a unique one, contrived by Dr. Martin, that not one of them would ever hold a secret engagement or receive atten. tions from any man that their parents did not approve; that, come whatamay, nothing could ever induce them te break the VOW they so solemnly made, The thing was thought to be a joke al first, but on inquiry found that the young women have thus far pledged themselves. do not think the idea has spread eastward yet, but it has caused a deal of gossip on the Pacific slope"

HINTS FOR THE TABLE.

RAPID eating is slow suicide.
 PLENTY of time should be taken.
 FISH and oysters are easily digested.
 AN hour or two of rest should be taken after the meal.
 MERE qualification of the appetite is very likely to shorten life.
 DINNER should be of lighter nature in summer than in winter.
 A QUART of wheat contains more nutriment than bushel of cucumbers. THERE is happy mean between eat ing everything and being squeamish.
 IT is not good to dine when in state of mental or physical weakness.
 LIGHT soups, light desserts and light meats should have the preference in warm weather.
 ABUSE of the stomach at. dinner will be repaid sooner or later by that pun ishment which comes to the glutton.
 VEGETABLES and fruits are to be used most generously at that season of the year in which they naturally mature. BEGINNING the dinner with soup is the very best way to get the whole system in condition for assimilating hearty meal.

Simple Remedy for Earache.

q am afraid have greatly interfered with my own practice" said a celebrat- ed aurist, "by giving the following ad- vice to many of my friends. At the first symptoms of earache let the pa- tient lie on the bed with the painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick towel and tuck it around the neck; then with a teaspoon fill the ear with warm water. Continue doing this for fifteen or twenty minutes; the water will fill the ear orifice, and flow over on the towel. Afterward turn over the head, let the water run out, and plug the ear with warm glycerine and cotton. This may be done every hour until relief Is obtained. It is an almost invariable cure, and has saved many cases of acute inflammation. The water should be quite warm, but not too hot"

CURRENT COMMENT.

.B"The western man who wants to run for president on the democratic ticket in 1896 is keeping mighty still about it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 sB"In his message President Cleve- land passed over the Hawaiian affair with such alacrity as to suggest that it was hot to his touch.-Chicago Times (Dem.).
 sB-Of course Grover will take care of Wilson, but William would feel more at home as minister to the court of St. James than on the supreme bench.-Toledo Blade. ....
 sB-If there are any blunders the Cley land administration has failed to commit in its dealings with foreigners it has over two years yet in which to perpetrate them.-Chicago Tribune.
 sB~The congress that is now in ses- sion does not represent the people of 1894, but is "a back nuElber." The members would do we'll to transact the necessary business and slip off homo as quietly as possible. Inter Ocean.
 s$" The Improvement on the Me Kinley bill' is already decorated with an increase of one hundred million dollars in the interest-bearihg debt and the certainty that current ex- penses cannot be met for some time. There are people who fail to see that these cupolas are desirable addition to McKinley's architecture.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
 EB-T The new democratic tariff does boom business, that is foreign busi- ness. In September, 1893, under tho Mckinley law, there were imported in- to this country S,7e2, e52 pounds of wool, while in September of this year, under the democratic free wool law, the importation reached 12,993, ,212 pounds. Is 1t any wonder London feasted Chairman Wilson? - Toledo Blade.
 sB-T The felicitations which are be. ing indulged in by the newspaper press and in financial circles over the success of the new government loan are permissible only in the sense that the credit of the nation is high be- yond all question. It is not matter for rejoicing that in a time of pro- found peace, in less than two years, the revenue should have fallen off to such an extent as to require an addi- tion of one hundred million dollars to the national debt. This Is an evidence of bad financiering or indifferent leg islation, or both. For nearly thirty years the government had been mak. ing rapid strides in the liquidation ot an enormous war debt, which process for the first time has been seriously in, interrupted. .-Pittsburgh Gazette,

. WOMAN AND HOME.
TO REMOVE STAINS.

Pnste This in Your Sorapbook. You VIII
 Want 1t Frequently.
 Here are receipGs for removing vari- ous kinds of stains:
 Coffee, Tea and Wines.-If these stains on the table linen are of long standing, and have been washed with soap, it is rather difficult to ge3 rid of them. But javelle water-Which can be made at home or bought O. druggist-is gener- ely most successful. Put about half a pint Of javells wa3er and a quart o2 clean water into an earthen bowl; let the stained article soak in Ghis for sev- eral hoIrs. Then rinse thoroughly in three waters. It is only white goods that can be treated ia this manner, as the javelle water bleaches out the color.
 Sewing Machine Oil Stains-To re- move these stains rub the stain with sweet oil or lard and let it stand for several hours. Then wash it in soap and cold water.
 Pitch and Tar Stains.-Rub lard on the stain and let it stand for few hours. Sponge with spirits of turpen- tine until the stain is removed. If the color of the fabric be changed sponge it with chloroform and the color will be festored.
 Ink Stains.-Tear Hotting paper in pieces and hold the rough edge on the ink when it is freshly spilled, or cover the spot with Indian meal; or the liquid ink may be absorbed by cotton batting. If the ink be spilled on carpet, cut a lemon in two, remove part of the rind and rub the lemon on the stain. If the ink-stained article be washed immediately in several waters and then in milk, letting it soak in the milk for several hours, the stain will disappear. Washing the article imme- diately in vinegar and water and then in soap and water is another remedy which will remove all ordinary ink stains. No matter what substance be used to remove ink the stain must be rubbed well. If the article stained be a carpet on the floor use brush.
 Grass StaiDs.-Rub the article stained with alcohol, then wash in clean water.

"Of course before your marriage you told your wife that you would never be absent from her side except when busi ness demanded your presence e'se where?"
 "Yes."
 And you said you would gratify every wish of hers?'

 "And that you would never speak a cross word to her?"
 "Yes."

The Latest in Hairdressing.

In the present mode of hairdressing little or no false hair is worn. The un- dulating style is the thing, and to pro- duce this the hair is waved all through its thickness, gathered up loosely at the back and made to form soft knot, somewhat in the shape of the figure 8. It is drawn out little at each side so as to cover the top of the ear and to produce a wide outline. The 'bang" or fringe" has been almost entirely discarded and only few soft loose rings of hair are allowed to stray over the forehead. Some hairdressers use small cushions at the back of the head ever each ear, and this gives the wide outline which seems so desirable. Some very smart women wear their hair parted in the middle, with very fluffy curls at the side and waved in the back. The coil drawn to the top of the head

How to Make Dripped Coffee.

The coffee pot, dripper and all, should be scalded with boiling water before using. Then put in the upper division one coffee cup full of ground coffee-the coffee should be parched a cinnamon brown and ground rather fine. Pour over the ground coffee one coffee cupful of boiling water and place the coffee pot where 1t will keep warm, but not boil. Let it stand until the grounds have entirely absorbed tho water, then add another cup of boiling water; when that has dripped through add one cup and half more of boiling water. This makes three cups of strong. good coffee,

WATER AS A COSMETIC.
More Valuable and Effective Than Expen-
 sive Lotions. t

sive Lotions.
 A pretty complexion is a boon to every woman who is so fortunate as to have it, for it not only adds to her beauty, but it testifies to the good health of it's possessor. a
 Consequently 1t may be, when not as good as it should be, improved by care of the diet, by the proper use of the bath, and by avoiding whatever makes one i'll, or even oull and apathetic.
 One of the most veXing of the ene- mics of a good complexion are black heads, or flesh worms, which are very liable to degenerate into ugly-looking wkiSe pimples, by no means endowed with a lie of their own, although this is the general belief concerning them. They are simply the result of unclean- lness, for the oily matter exuded by the pores forms these black specks, which dishonor the prettiest face and are in reality nothing but accumulated dirt.
 When blsckheads have once been permitted to form it is quite difficult matter to get rid of them. Many ap- plications are recommended for the purpose; for instance bicarbonate of soda dissolved in hot water. borax water, white of an egg applied to the skin on retiring to bed, pure alcohol, etc., but, besides being irritating to the tissues, all these substances are only successful for brief period, and when too often repeated are worse than the evil they are supposed to cure.
 The only way of getting permanently rid of blackheads is to thoroughly wash, night and morning, with water as warm as can be borne, and then bathe the face for ten minutes at least in tepid milk by the aid of soft and very fine sponge. Continue this for month, and you will find that your skin has be come pure and sweet as baby's. :

It is shallow box, with the inner side left off, the outside being as elaborate or as simple as one may elect. The inner edge of the box is at tached to the window frame by hooks and hook eyes, while the chains on either side end in rings that are support ed by hooks at the top. Beautiful flow CTS, and not a few of them, are capable of being grown in such hanging gar ,den.-American Garden.

Up-Hill Work of the Democrats In Cap
 turing the Markets of the World.
 Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee of congress, dis coursed eloquently before his London admirers of the brightening possibili- ties of American commerce in the mar kets of the world in consequence of tariff reform.
 The official figures show that for the first full month under the new tariff the exports of merchandise from the United States was $57, ,s11, ,537, which was $12,247, 125 less than those for Sep tember, 1893, under the old tariff and in the midst of the financial strin- gency then existing.
 Duties on cotton goods were also re- duced by the new tariff, and as we al- ready had free raw material" in the form of cotton, according to Mir. Will sons free trade notions we should have increased our exports and decreased our imports of cotton manufactures Instead of that, the exports of cotton goods shrunk from $1,240, 1855 in Sep tember,. 1893, to $1, ,03S, 1o7 in Septem- Der, 1894, while our imports of cotton goods increased from $1, 466, 345 in Sep tember, 1893, to $2, 225, ,o54 in September, 1894.
 Taking these figures as basis can Prof Wilson and his fellow free traders figure out just how long it will be before the United States captures the markets of the world by reducing duties?-Troy Times.
