If the belt Is inconspicuous this season
It is no less carefully thought out. The
idea Is to have It identified In color with
the bodice, or bodice trimming rather
than with the skirt, SO that the waist
shall appear to begin at its lower edge
rather than above. Thus, the bodice OF
one gown Is of white plated mousseline
de sole, and it is confined and finished
round the waist by white guipure VITA
deep points running upward, which lace
answers for the belt This bodice has
also the same lace put across the bust
with points downward. leaving the chif-
fon to push through in lozenge- shaped
bouffants.
The belts of suede leather worn with
flannel outing gowns are often no wider
than g harness rein. and have dead
gold buckle of corresponding simplicity.
They are Of yellow or white and are very
elegant. A bag of the same leather is
attached to the belt by a gilt chain for
travelling.

Keen the He'd Clean.

Many people will use pair Of blankets
for year or more without ever think
ing of putting them into the tub. because
they are considered cumbersome to laun-
dry and seldom come out looking as well
as when they went in. If they are
washed in moderately warm water and
rinsed twice, then pulled into shape. they
will have achieved a degree of cleanl-
ness that Is not overshadowed by any
loss of good looks Every day they
should be well shaken, as well as aired.
The heavy counterpanes once thought so
essential to the elegance of bed have
now almost entirely ceased to be used,
the lighter, daintier and more easily
"done-up' affairs winning the prefer
ence.
OF course the woodwork should be
brushed and polished, and If by chance
any foreign invaders should endeavor to
take up their abode in a place where
they are decidedly not wanted. prompt
and vigorous warfare is the only certain
means Of eXterminating them.

Over the Conee-Cups.

Coffee has been on civilized mans din
ing table 800 years, and still 1t holds rs
own. A better beverage - because
friendly, wholesome. invigorating and
exhilaratng-has never been discovered.
Coffee Is not appreciated as 1t deserves
to be. The bulk of the production IL
waste ed. Not one cup in ten Is properly
served. Coffee is a dainty nut and re-
quires delicate handling. Coffee will not
hold over. The moment 1t is powdered
1t should be tossed In the pot, and the
instant it is cooked there should be
thirsty throat waiting to engulf 1t. In
Turkey. the king Of cofree-makers scorns
a mill. The fresh roasted, oil moistened
berry is put into a mortar and pounded
to powder. A heaping teaspoonful u
measured off for each cup. Cones
bought already ground is as stale water
to the sparkling cup from the spring.
There Is only one sure way Of making
good coffee-via a Vienna pot.

ANOTHER BROCKWAY VICTIM.

1t - carrying Goals to Newcastle 10
record new Instances OF the fatal Ell
fects of Brockway's hrutalitIcs on hiF
suffering and unfortunat" victims. An
other Of them died, after n lingering
and painful Illness. at the Long Island
College Hospital in Brooklyn yrster-
day, and his anto-mortem declarations
made II clear that his death was due
to the injuries he received while UNDER
going the torturcs at Elmlrh.
The case is in the hands of the Cor
oner, who will decide to what imrne-
date cause the death Of Patrick Me
Gowan was due. But it Is as well
known that the injuries the deceased re-
ceived at the Rcformatury ruined his
life and brought him To- the grave at
the age of twenty-five years as that

THE "sTRAIGHT TICKET HUMBUG.

In 1892 the Republican vote for Presi.
dent in this city vas within few votes
OF 5000.
That was the fun Republican strength
hecaus" 1t Is well known that many
Tammany votes opposed to Cleveland
were cast for Harrison.
Last year the Tammany vote cast for
Judge Maynard for the Court Of Appeals
was, in round numbers, l%,11
Th" Democratic vote opposed to Tam
many's dictition, as shown by the differ
ence between the plurality given TO
Maynard and those secured by the other
Democratic candidates was 35.pN.
This may bc taken a. the outside
strength OF the Grace anti-Tammany
vote in the city, although no doubt mt ny
democrats voted against Maynard who
are not in sympathy with the eX-Mayor.
ON this basis the figures stand as fol-
lows.
Republicans observation-disclosures. H,Obl
Grace Democrats ....................., 5000
Tammany DemoCrats,........ ,l2s 900
If the Republicans and Grace Demo-
Gratis should unite sol!dly their com
hined vote would be 1900. This would
be enough to elect anti-lammany city
and county candidates. But the union
ticket would draw to it l5,oD or 2oooo
more votes by reason of it's promise of
victory.
VIII any man with a grain Of common
sense or an ounce of honesty in lis
composition pretend that with straight
Republican candidates and straight"
Grace Democracy candidates i'm nominal
tion there would be the slightest chance
of defeating Tammany? Would not the
very fact Of the failure OF a combination
against Tammany reduce the supposed
Grace strength 1900 votes and the Re-
publican strength 5000 votes? Would ,
not at the same time add ?0ooo or 10000
votes TO the Tammany strength"
A straight Republican ticket would
mean Platt-Kerwin ticket. and II Is
said that 1t would not be supported by
the best elements" of the Republican
party. This is true. But suppose 1t only
received 80 per cent. of the party vote,
ported the Grace Democratic candidates.
would that raise the latter to much more
than half the strength of the Tammlny
machine!
II Is plain that the object OF the pro-
moters of straight" tickets on which
ever side, Is either to continue Tammany
rule in the city government or to ad.
vance some selfish political object at the
expense of honest municipal government

Why Olives Are Cheap.

do you know what makes picked
olives so cheap" Buffalo furnisher of
delectables said the other day. You
wouldn't expect California olive grow
er to get rich when his olives are sold
at little more than the cost of the
brine. / will tell you a secret-the trick
in the olive trade. Down in the Genesee
Valley there are great fruit farms.
There is one grower who has thirty
acres of plum trees, seven thousand
of them now bearing. Each one yields
three or four bushels OF green plums.
The plums are olive-shaped; they are
picked when green, sold to buyer who
puts them in fancy-labelled bottles or in
kegs and they are sold for olives. They
so much resemble the genuine that no
one but an epicure can detect that they
are not. Tricks in all trades, aren't
