A Hint on Fruit Preserving.

A very good authority on fruit preserv-
ing considers that the plan followed by
many housekeepers Of using a small pro-
portion Of sugar and in consequence boil
Ing the preserve longer is fallacy, as the
more sugar used the greater the bulk Of
the preserve obtained, less being wasted
In long boiling and evaporation, while the
flavor of the fruit Is more retained. A
quick fire should be used. and of course
the preserve continually stirred, the skum
being taken off as it rises. TO Judge II the
preserve has boiled long enough drop lit
tie into glass Of cold water. II it does not
spread or mix, 1t is done enough. Or an
other way is to drop little on plate II
1t does not run on the plate, it is sufficient

The acid Of lemons and oranges is said
to be fatal to the cholera bacillus. Even II
placed on the rinds Of the fruit the germs
will not survive longer than day.
Dr. Paul Gibicr is credited with having
demonstrated that depressing emotions are
alone sufficient to affect men and animals
with fatal diabetes mellitus.
Such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear,
the plum, when taken without sugar, d.
minish acidity of the stomach rather than
provoke it. The vegetable sauces and
juices are converted into alkaline carbon
ates, which tend to counteract acidity.
Medical men die of more rapidly than
other professional men. Between the ages
of 40 and 60 two doctors die to one clergy

TROUBLING THE DEMOCRATS.
The Sugar Tariff Bids Fair to Overthrow
Free Trade Doctrine.


The sugar tariff is causing the Demo
cratic pal great deal of trouble at
the prosen, time. In Louisiana the rev.
olution that is going Oil promises to
overthrow the present state authorities
and put the state back again in the pro-
tective column. The men who are con-
tending for tariff on sugar today can
In nowise be called enemies of the true
Democratic principle, for if there be
any product Of this country that is fit
subject for revenue sugar is the most
reasonable.
The Democratic policy of shifting the
tariff so as to expose the producers Of
raw sugar to foreign competition and at
the same time protect the manufacturer
of refined sugar, while also destroying
or repeating the law granting all sub
sidies or bounties, becomes too appar-
ent for reason or argument that such
legislation is unfriendly to the sugar
grower of Louisiana and is favorable to
the sugar producer of foreign countries.
The Republicans contended for free
raw sugar but they granted a bounty
equal to cents per pound of protection,
by which the sugar industry of this
country was stimulated beyond anything
ever known before for the period Of two
years. This has all been set aside by those
who have gone crazy over the idea of
free trade. Tie country is TO be con-
graduated that there is an uprising of
Louisiana such as will overthrow free
trade Democracy and again bring the
American sugar industrial interest un-
der the fostering care of protection
party.

RYLAND T, 2;07sI, AND BOB STEWART.
leave his feet at the slightest provocation
and allow himself to be beaten and even

his class
"A moody, turbulent, ramshackled old
freak is what one well known horseman
calls him, but all his faults must be for
gotten when his wonderful performance
in Cleveland on July % is remembered
On the track where Maud s made her IA
nous worlds record of 2:0SA nine years

gclding king Lord Clinton, Ellard, Night

heats in the remarkable time Of 2:0SH,
2.072f and 2:OS2{, thus breaking the race
and gelding records and establishing his
fame as one of tho swiftest trotters the
turf has ever seen.
Ryland Il was bred near Eagle Rock,
ida, about 10 years ago. His actual age
Is unknown, and his sire, Ledger, Jr., is OF
untraced breeding. His dam was sired
by Ulvrson, a son of Lexington. He was
branded like any other broncho and used
as COW pony until 1890, when he was
entered in slow trotting classes and took
o record of 2:30L. In 1891 he won two out
of seven races and secured mark OF
2:179i. In 1892 he lowered his record to
2:11L, but was SO unreliable that barrels
Of money were lost on him. The Stewards
of Kansas City bought him for 81, $50 and
partially cured him Of his eccentricity,
and last year he won 1000. All In all
Ryland 7 is a unique equine character.
1t is never safe to bet on him and is equal

Some of the Many Trihes Of Good Breeding
Which She Observes.

Which She Observes.
If one is invited to friends house, the
first thing in order, according to Harper's
Bazaar, is to decide whether or not she can
go. II, on consideration, It seems that the
invitation can be accepted, it should on
no account be lightly thrown over in favor
Of some later suggestion. The invitation
having been accepted, it il well to let the
length Of the contemplated visit be def
initely prescribed Both hostess and guest
will proceed more intelligcntly and moro
comfortably IL this be understood.
Tho agreeable guest will arrive as
promptly as possible on the day and by
the train which has been selected for her
She will send her luggage To the house she
Is going TO by the express agent who passes
through cars and boats unless she is aware
that her friend will have a carriage in
waiting. City ana country terminal facil-
ities differing no hard and fast rule can
be laid down about luggage.
Informed of the family routine, the guest
Is never tardy. She does not irritate the
punctual man of tho house by keeping the
breakfast back, nor is she SO early that the
hostess, coming down five minutes before
the morning meal, feels like culprit on
hearing the visitors cheerful announce
ment that she has been down a half hour.
The agreeable guest takes an interest In
and praises the children of the house. She
likes to hear their pretty recitations, their
pieces" on the piano or violin. She some
times tells them stories or sings for them.
The servants like her, for her courtesy Is
unvarying and does not overlook their ef
forts in her behalf, which she recognizes
by thanks and on her departure by a grace
full gift or tip. IL there are few servants
or mono, the guest takes care TO wait on
herself and 10 Tighten by little acts of as
sistnnce the burden Of care which her
friend is carrying.
She has a nice sense Of honor and Of
helicacy. The latter makes her deaf and
blind to any small friction or occasional
breezy argument which may go on In her
presence. The former seals her lips for all
time from revealing anything disagreeabls
which may come to her knowledge while
under friends roof.
Guests should In city pay their own
car fares and cab hires IL their host viii
permit. But where the host utterly refuses
to allow this the guest must not squAbbls
ever the matter.

sacramento Should be Taking Steps to

There is to be a meeting of the Repub-
hcan State Central Committee in April to
arrange for calling a State Convention in
August, and already several cities are III
the field as competitors for the honor of
entertaining the party's representatives.
The most pronounced efforts made as
yet have been in Oakland, where press,
politicians and people are united in be-
llevlng that their city has attractions to
offer which should certainly win the
prize.
Santa Rosa. Los Angeles. Santa Cruz,
San Francisco, Stockton and other places
nope to secare the prize. In referring to
the claims set up by the different places,
the San francisco ChrOnlcte says:
sacramento, as the political Capital OF
the State, advances the theory that the
convention ought of right to sit there. 1t
has in years past been tavorite city for
convention purposes. The Assembly
Hall in the State Capitol building is ad
mirably adapted for the holding of con-
ventions. There is this factor, too, which
greatly aids Sacramento, and that is the
city Is the second choice of so many dele
gates, each of whom tavors his own town
as first choice, but falling in that would
be willing TO compromise on Sacramento.
"Other towns will probably make their
claims known shortly, but the two most
active in the list at present seem to be
Oakland and SacramentO.'
Beyond a question the convention
should be held in Sacramento. 1t is the
most centrally situated of all the cities
mentioned, and can be reached by rail-
road direct from all quarters of the State.
With timely and energetic action by the
Sacramento members of the State Central

1t is a matter of history that delegates
generally nave been dissatisfied with
their experiences in most other places

purposes for which they are designed,
even to overcoming any general law
which may contravene the management
of local affairs.
NOT a MATTER OF SPECULATION.
But it is not necessary in this case to
speculate upon the effect of the change
referred to as the latest expression of the
Constitution. 1t is enough that it is the
behest OF the Constitution that all special
laws inconsistent with charters formed
IN pursuance of Section 8, Article XI..
shall cease to exist, so far as they affect
new charters.

The Trustees VIII Continue to Use the
Secret Ballot.


During the week there has been great
deal of talk about the method adopted by
the Board of Trustees in the confirmation
of appointments made by the Mayor,
and sharp effort has been made to bull
doze them into voting openly on each ap-
pointment instead of by the secret bal
lot. So far as can be learned, however,
the Trustees have not been moved from
their position. They unquestionably
have the right to do as they please about
it and ought to be as good judges as any
one of their duty. Their present method
is that adopted by the United States Sen
ate, which always passes upon Presi-
dental appointments in secret session.
The majority OF citizens who express
themselves on the subject, since the ar
guments on both sides were presented in

are right in their position. All agree,
however, that they are the sole Judges of
