HOUSEKEEPING TIME

Sharp-Witted Women Look Well to the
Minor "Details.
Sharp-witted city housekeepers do
not depend upon servants cleaning
their own rooms without supervision.
An ounce of prevention that may save
a gallon OF cure is to thoroughly be-
sprinkle the servants sleeping quar-
tiers with gasoline in the interim be-
tween the departure of one and the
arrival of the next incumbent. Her
trunk and its contents, if they have
come from other quarters less care
fully looked after. should be thorough
ly searched. Hence an Y should be
kept on the room from week to week.
If clothes closets nave moths in them
in spite of your careful spring at
tempts to keep them out burn sulphur
in them. Put the sulphur in an old
porcelain dish and set in q wide pan OF
water, light the sulphur and shut the
closet up. Don't go far away. or leave
the blaze long unheeded. With the
nan of water there is. however, next to
no danger that a spark will fly off and
set anything on fire. The scintilla OF
possibility, though, should not be over
looked.
Do not take the screens out of doors
and windows yet awhile. The flies
will creep into the sunshine in the
middle of the cool autumn days and
pour into the house for weeks alter 1t

o THE SHOPS.
Some Shadows That Autumn Fashions Are
Now Casting Before.

Some Shadows That Autumn Fashions Are
Now Casting Before.
The smart white mohair gowns of
the summer serve admirably as demi-
saison dinner toilets.
New belts are of soft gay plaid silk,
knotted under a metal clasp at one
side, and are suggestively named
toreador.
All browns with a reddish tinge are
in especial favor for the coming cool
season, though no wardrobe will be
complete without one good black gown
for the street.
The most modish and Partisan house
dress seen in a high-class workroom
had the double Vatican plat at the
front instead of the back. The neck
was cut a la pompadour, and the plat
extended from it to the hem of the
gown. As far as the waist line hand
some lace fell each side of the plat,
passing over the shoulders to form a
sailor collar over the princess back of
the gown.
Wide effects continue in millinery.
The early autumn hats look very much
overloaded in their abundance of os-
trich plumes, wide ribbons and elab-
crate ornaments.
The women who come back to town
with black mohair gowns lined in col
ored silk to match the bodice worn
with them need only a small. full cape
of black velvet, trimmed with jet Van
dykes, to have handsome early autumn
toilets.
Framboise or raspberry red is a col
or that will be much seen in millinery,
felt bonnets and hats being shown OF
this tint-N. Y. Times.

TAKE care of yourself If you don't,
nobody will take care Of you. This ad-
vice while suitable to everybody, is par
bicularly applicable in the case of young
men. In one Of his recent talks to this
class DR.. Talmage said "Let me say in
regard to your adverse worldly circum-
stances that you are on a level now with
those who are finally to succeed Mark
my words, and think of it 80 years from
now You will find that those who, 30
years from now, are the millionaires of
Ghe country, who are the poets of the
country-mighties in church and state
are now on a level with you; not an
inch above, and with you in straitened
circumstances now. Herschel earned his
living by playing a violin at parties, and
in the intervals of his playing he would
90 out and look up at the midnight
heavens, the field Of his immortal con-
quests. George Stevenson rose from
being the foreman Of colliery to be the
most renowned of the worlds engineers.
No outfit, no capital to start with Young
man, go down to the library and get some
books and read what wonderful
mechanism God gave you in your hand,
IN your foot, IN your eye, in your ear, and
then ask some doctor to take you into the
dissecting room aud illustrate to you
what you have read about, and never
again commit the blasphemy OF saying
YOU have no capital to start with"

the payment nS,GGNs though under duress,
1t is hoped however that the offer made
at the suggestion of the United States,
and which Managua advices say have been
satisfactory TO the Nicaraguan govern
ment, will be agreed to by Great Britain,
though DO assurances to this effect have
been received.
IL appears, in this connection, that the
throat of revolution in Nicaragua has given
the United States an opportunity to urge
with moro force peaceable settlement of
the present difficulty as such a result of
the British occupation might seriously
threaten the lives and property Of United
States citizens.
1t is generally considered here that the
Nicaraguan government has acted with
great shrewdness. Their offer places the
responsibility for further complications
entirely on the shoulders of England. The
Nicaraguans' refusal to yield to superior
force while their chief seaport is COM
manded by British cannon and occupied
| by British sailors and marines cannot be
condemned by civilized public opinion. If
England persists in attempting to enforce
her demands at the cannon's muzzle all
indications point co serious and prolonged
difficulties, in which this country will in
evitably be involved.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1895.

THE debate between the Rev. Madison
G. Peters and his more or less esteemed
controversialists of the Roman church
has reached the heated state, or is rapidly
approaching it. For example, the Rev.
Henry A. Brann, referring to Brother
Peters, says; He is a conspicuous n
stance of shameless and egregious ignor.
ance and malicious mendacity, and if he
does not change his habits of preaching
he will go further than pusgatory and
fare worse" 1t is assumed that Brother
Peters will reply to Brother Brann, and
inform the reverend disputant that he
can go there himself, aud so the Christian
discussion will go on with increasing
fervor and interest.

GREAT BRITAIN's ATTITUDE
The Government VIII Not Listen to OGers
of Compromise.

LONDON, May lit is learned from
official sources that there has been no
change in the attitude of Great Britain
towards Nicaragua, the British govern
ment having no alternative but to insist
upon a settlement of its demands and not
to listen to any offers of compromise Tha
United States, it is added, is not interven-
ing in the matter
The report that the British warships
Wild Swan and Satellite have been or
dered to Paso de Cabellos and San Juan
del Sur, and that Rear Admiral Stephen
son has cabled to London saying that Cor
into is a useless possession is unfounded
In regard to the report circulated by a
news agency that it is the intention Of
Great Britain TO seize ports in Honduras
in order to secure the payment of arrears
of interest on a long outstanding loan it is
pointed out that 1t is contrary to the policy
of the British government to take such
action, or to interfere directly to collect
interest on loans.
