Keep the Children Busy.

Teach children to do little things about the house. It trains them to be useful, not awkward, in later and more important affairs; it gives them occu- patton while they are small, and it really is an assistance to the mother in the end, although she always feels dur ing the training period that it is much easier to do the thing herself than to show another how. This last excuse has done much, to make selfish, lcn:.. unhandy members of an older society and should be remembered, in its eff fleets, by the mother while her little ones are beginning to learn all things, good and bad, at her knee. Occupa- tion makes happiness, and occupation cannot be acquired too young.

WEDDING CAKE BOXES.
The Eatest Styles and Materials for These
 Popular Souvenirs.

The Latest Styles and Materials for These
 Popular Souvenirs.
 The origin of the custom of taking home gift of wedding cake to dream on" is apparently without record, and yet the present fad of distributing pieces of the bride cake in dainty boxes is the outgrowth of the old-time super stition.
 However, it is seldom "the" cake which is sent out in boxes, but that of nn inferior quality, which possibly serves the purpose just as well in bringing pleasing dreams and slum- bers light" to those who place it be- heath their pillows.
 It is surprising to one uninformed to know how varied are the styles, shapes and sizes of these souvenir wedding cake boxes. One leading manufacturer makes wedding cake be yes in fifteen styles and half dozen or more sizes, which are sold from $4 to $40 hun dred.
 The most popular style and those of which the greater number arc sold are those at S4.50 a hundred, which are plainly and simply made of moirc pa per, with silver edge about the lid. The boxes are all hand made, with the greatest care, by women and girls, and if the slightest mar from paste or im- perfection from rough edges is percept- ible, after finishing, the box is cast out.
 The more elaborate styles are made upon special orders, and sometimes are marvels of expensive beauty, perhaps by hand painting, by the stamping of a monogram in silver, and so on. For one wedding of recent date, the souve- mir boxes were of white satin, hand painted, and cost Sls0.
 A novelty, really more dainty and at- tractive than the satin, is the Bued- ingen box, which is covered with fine crepe paper in white. The box opens like casket, Is either square or oblong and all round the cover is a tiny frill of the crepe paper. A narrow moire

gW It is perhaps not surprising that democratic administration should break down all round in the more inn portant functions of government, but it is rather strange that it cannot even gum postage stamp correctly. The current stamps are the worst of their kind. They arc not up to the standard in color and won't stick. This is what q nation gets which admits to power such an imbecile and at the same time such q flagitious party. It ought to be dipped in the gum arabic of its unsuc- cessful philatelic experiments and hung somewhere to dry,--N, Y. Tribune.

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.
Southern Malcontents and Their Bellig-
 erent Tactics.

Southern Malcontents and Their Bellig-
 erent Tactics.
 Fresh examples of democratic incon- sistency are found in the gubernatorial elections in Alabama and Tennessee. In the former state the face of the re- turns gave Mir. Oates the governorship. Mir. Kolb, the populist candidate, charged fraud and asked for investi- gation. The request was refused by the democratic authorities, and Oates was seated under guard of the state troops.
 In Tennessee the returns gave the governorship to Mir. Evans, republican, and the democratic legislature has de- termined to constitute itself judge of the vote and investigate certain repub- hcan districts. Pending the report Gov. Turney, who was the democratic candidate, will hold over, and at last he will be declared elected.
 So in Tennessee, the democratic par ty rejects what it insisted upon in Ala bama, simply because it hopes to gain something by following the contrary course. The best democrats and the best democratic newspapers in the state condemn the scheme, but the fac tion in power appears willing to go any lengths to prevent the seating of re- publican governor. The Tennessee democrats should remember the dis aster which came upon the New York democrats who in 1891 perpetrated crime in the interest of party domina- tion.-Troy Times.

The falling IN silver exchange
AaS had a continued beneficial
effect on Mexican remittances

been that the banks will not

larger last week than that of
the week before, and the i'm
