Good words for Texas POpulestg.

The Populist members Of the Legis-
lature who unanimously supported the
prize fight law deserve special COM
mendation. There we're strong party
reasons for different course on their
part An opportunity was before them,
by refusing to vote for the emergency
clause, to involve the Democratic
administration in serious difficulty, and
strong arguments were made to them
to pursue this course. They had no
partiality for Culberson. The fact that
Populists ignored the thought of party
advantage and voted in the interest of
the people is an evidence Of patriotism as
creditable to them as it is hopeful
promise of improvement in political
methods.-CbriStiGn Courier.

Peacemakers and Statesmen.

The cause Of peace and international
arbitration has lost a good aud great
friend i'm the death ofeX-t nited States
Senator James +. Wilson, who died
at his home at Fairfield, Iowa, on the
22nd of April. He had just closed his
his second term as United States Sena-
tor on the 4th of March last. He was
one of the truest and best men that our
country has had in public life. He
had the thorough confidence Of his
own State, aud but for failing health
would have been sent back to the Sen
ate for another term. He was, in the
best sense of the word. patriot, disin-
terested, loyal to right, always seeking
the public good, always on the side of
reform and progress. Before his last
election to the Senate he openly an
nounced his adherence to the cause OF
arbitration and peace, and when told
by certain time-serving politicians
that this might cost him his election,
be replied that he should adhere to
principle whether elected or not. Such
men are an honor to any State, the
strength and support of the country.
A nation that is rich in such charac-
ters has no need to fear decay and over
throw.-Advocate of Peace, Boston.

eve All Feel Polite"

Once upon q time certain mother
noticed remarkable change in the de-
pertinent of her siX-year-old son, wNC
from a rough, noisy, discourreous hoy
became transformed into one of the
gentlest, courteous and considerate lit
tie fellows jim the world. The child
was attending the kindergarten, and
the mother naturally inferred that tc
his teacher was due the change she
was glad to notice in him.
"Miss Smith teaches you to be po'
lite,n she remarked, making what was
really an assertion in an interrogative
tone.
mo, she never teaches US one bit
about it," was the instant and most
emphatic reply.
The mother was puzzled, for she was
at q loss to account in any other way
for 80 radical a change. A second and
third attempt to discover the cause OF
this condition was attended with q sim.
liar result-energetic denial upon the
part of the child of any instruction in
the matter of courtesy.
"Well. then, if Miss Smith doesn't
say anything, what does she do?" she
asked at length, quite desperate in her
desire for light upon the matter.
"She doesn't do anything. She just
walks around, and We feel polite. We
feel just as polite as-as everything" J"
and the inquiring mother was fully
ied.-Educational News.

The desire for q clean heart indicates

tian experience.
Liberality consists not in renounc-
ing our own opinions, but in respecting
the opinions of others.
While waiting for your trouble to
pass, it will do no harm to try to get q
little good out of it.
So live that the memory of what
you have done for others will be as
sweet as the memory of what others

Sinners were ready to share the
earthly garments of Jesus. They are
not so prompt to take the garments of
salvation he proffers them.
Jesus never refused place between
two sinners. He was always ready to
give salvation to u sinner who sought
it from him.
How ready men are to scoff at Jesus
when they think be is in need But
when they realize their need of him,
they are prompt to cry out for his help.
Belief in Jesus is not to be secured
by external proofs of his power. 1t
comes from All inner sense of need,
with readiness to trust.
Can a man who won't pray really
pay? Can a man who won't pay
pray? 1t takes both paying and pray

The man who destroys his life in a

sometimes called martyr.

Never allow the knife to touch the
sole Of horses foot, nor the least bit
of it to be pared away, because nature
needs the full bulk of it, and has
amply provided for its removal at the
proper time. Secondly, never allow a
knife to be put to the frog, because
nature never provides too much of it
to answer the purpose for which the
Creator designed it, and the larger it
is the more swiftly, easily, and safely

Clean your lamp burners: Take one
ounce of sal-soda, dissolve in one quart
of soft rain water, put the burners in
an old can and boil for ten minutes,
after which take cotton cloth and
wipe them off, and you will find them
just as good as new. This should be
done every month to remove all the
carbon. If you want to keep the
wicks from smoking soak them in
strong vinegar and dry thoroughly.
Radnor Potatoes-Peel and slice as
thin as for Saratoga potstoes three
large or five small potatoes. Put a
layer in baking dish, sprinkle little
salt. add bits of butter and several
tablespoonfuls of milk. Add another
layer of potatoes and layer of the
seasoning and milk and alternating
till the pan is filled. Cover over and
bake for forty.five minutes in moder-
ate oven. Remove the cover and let
brown and serve Immediately.
Egg and Cheese Salad-Slice dozon
hard boiled eggs. and put layer Of
eggs in the dish. Crate Old thick
covering of cheese, and another layer
of eggs, alternating with the cheese
till the eggs are used up. Sprinkle
over the top few capers of fine chop
ped pickles. Pour over it all mayon-
naise sauce, and again cover with
grated cheese. Serve with lettuce
leaves.
To keep moths from furs and woOlen
fabrics, sprinkle spirits of turpentine
over sheets of paper and lay first sheet
on the bottom of draw or chest, fol-
lowed with the fabric, and sheets
every six or eight inches. This method
is effectual. The turpentine will
evaporate quite readily when goods
are exposed to the air.
70 remove resin, tar, axle grease or
similar stains: Wet the cloth, apply
fat or any common oil to the stain and
and thoroughly soap it; allow the
soap to remain for short time, then
wash alternately with turpentine and

for some time until it softens up.
Then wash with hot soap water and
rinse.
A German horseman, who has spent
the past year in the United States

lOur Dumb Animals.)

When pugilists get we'll trained they
are apt to 60 around, as the saying is
with chip on their shoulders inviting
some one to knock it Oft.
From accounts we read in our news
papers our navy seems to be getting
into this condition, and our naval
pugilists seem quite as willing to gel
us into a war as are some of our so-calle
Christian churches that are seeking
to promote peace on earth by arming
their Sunday schools with rifles.
1t is not difficult when people want
a fight to get up one.
Some worthless rascal, whose life is
of less value than that of one of oul
deserted Back Bay cats, may get us
into a war which would cost the ma
ton more in the first six months than
to give employment to all our unem
ployed men for five years on public

(The Presbylerisn.)

When Church members begin to
suspect one another, to accuse each
other OF wrong doing, to tear in pieces
each others character, and to abandon
themselves to faultfinding, variance,
and strife, God withdraws His loving
and helping presence. Under these
circumstances we find religion in a
languishing state, and barreaness long
visible. The outward ordinances may
be in a measure maintained, but the
vital energy is absent. The minister
may preach with fidelity, but there are
neither verifications nor conversions.
The sacraments may be administered,
but they are neither invigorating nor
nourishing to the participants. God
is the God of peace and love, and can
only come in blessing where His peo-
pie abide in unity and fraternity.

The most difficult place on earth for
a man to be q Christian is at home.
There he is off his guard, and the evil
that is in his heart comes to the sur
face. Away from home he is some
what watchful ; there is a reputation
to maintain, and the public gaze forces
him to restraint aud watchfulness
but at home with wife and children,
who are interested with himself in
keeping his defects concealed, the
devil gets the best of him, and he says
things and does things which he
would blush to have his neighbors
hear and see. Perhaps we can form
no more accurate measurement of a
mans Christian character than when
we become familiar with the home
life he lives.

Character is a great deal more i'm
portant than reputation. We are per-
sonally responsible for our character,
out we are not personally responsible
for our reputation. Our character de-
pends on what We are; our reputation
depends on what others think we are.
If we will take good care Of our char
acter, we need not trouble ourselves
about our reputation. Our reputation
may change with the changes of popu-
lar opinion and feeling, but our char
acter will not change so long as we are
what we are. Yet as practical mat
ter we are more likely to worry over
our reputation than over our character.

TRAVELLERS tell us that the fra
GRANGE and odors of the flowers and
aromatic plants of Arabia are carried
by the winds into neighboring provin.
ces. So that before persons reach that
country they breathe the sweetness
and perfume of the land. So it is with
true religion. 1t so affects the moral
atmosphere as to produce peace, gentle,
ness, hope and happiness, until its in.
f1uence extends far beyond its bounds,
and blesses those who do not acknowl'
edge its authority or live by its pre-.

Your character is revealed in the
things you most admire and desire.
Never forget that every hour gone
is one less to live. What thy record?
There are some lessons we never
earn well until We try to teach them
to others.
The soul that is busiest about the
Masters work has no time to find
fault.
Nothing save bereavement can show
us how much selfishness is hidden in
our love.
If we must give up the worlds good,
it is only that there may be room for
heavens hest.
Ask not why blessings are so scarce,
but ask rather why you are so seldom
in a position to receive them.
We are not in the proper attitude to
receive a sermon if we catch all the
promises and miss all the commands.
OF two evils do not take the lesser ;
take neither. Really, don't take any
thing that does not belong to you.
The consciousness that You have
done right is worth more than the
combined wealth of all our million
aires.
Because love does not arrive at its
conclusions by logical process is no
reason why it's conclusions may not be
logical.

ing distance of a church whose chief

How to Sweep.-For sweeping a
room neatly there is nothing like
newspaper aid. Take page of news
paper, or other paper at time, wet
in hot water and squeeze it until il
ceases to drip. Tear into pieces the
size of ones hand and cast them all
over the carpet. Then sweep, and
most of the dust in the room, if you
use the bloom judiciously, will be
gathered into the papers. On mating
use larger pieces of paper, pushing
them about ahead of the broom TO
take up fluff, if any, before beginning
the regular sweeping.

was seen near the shore in the vicinity of
Curatlan, with three passengers, one Of
whom has a broken arm. A body has been
washed ashore, thought to be Mrs Irving.
The storm which caused the loss of the
Colima and Huguenot, 1t is thought,
caused other disasters not made known.
Wreckage has been seen up and down the
coast, which could not possibly have come
from the Colima.
A number of craft have not put in an
appearance at Salna Cruz, Acapulco,
Manzanilia, San Bias, Guaymas and
other stations up and down the coast, and
search is being made In hope of finding
some trace of the boats and occupants.
The storm caused much loss along the

carried away and immense damage done

destruction of the Salina Cruz wharf will

WANT THE RETURNS BACK.
Income Tax Information Being Strictly Guarded
by Commissioner Miller.

Washington, June 2.-Commissione of
overwhelmed with applications for the
restoration of income tax returns to the
prospective taxpayers, who made them
out under the requirements of the law
before 1t was overturned by the supreme
court.
They will not bo returned, however,
at least, not until Congress, by special
legislation, directs it. Commissioner
Miller regards them as government
records, which he is obliged to keep in his
Office until otherwise directed by Congress
Great care is being exercised, however,
to prevent any information from getting
out in regard TO the contents of any of the
returns.
Under the instructions issued by the
commissioner as soon as the decision of
the court had been announced, not only
all the tax returns, but all the books and
papers in any way relating to the income
tax were forwarded to the internal reve-
nue. bureau from all the collectors of GUS
toms in the country so that there is not
now scrap of official information as to
the returns of any taxpayer in existence
outside of the internal revenue bureau.
When all these documents were re-
ceived at the treasury department Com
missioner Miller had them placed under
lock and key at once so as to make 1t i'm
possible for any information to be OBJ
tanned A chief of division in the bureau
is responsible for keeping the information
contained in these returns and records alb
solutely secret.
