COMMENT AND OPINION.

sB The democrats this year who were in the largest luck were the fel- lows who failed to get the nomination. Chicago Inter Ocean. E5y It is no wonder that Presider Cleveland occasionally feels like talk ing his gun and getting as far away from his administration as he possibly can.-Chicago Tribune.
 CB Secretary Carlisle exhausted himself in framing the sugar schedule of the tariff law, and thus the cur rency measures were too much for him.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 sB" Democratic hard times are driv- ing back to Europe thousands and tens of thousands who regard their prospects in their old homes as better than those which obtain on the Amer ican side of the Atlantic. c.-Albany Journal ......
 Cdy-The income tax law will be at tackled as unconstitutional in New York, Joseph H. Choate being one of the attorneys in the case. Meanwhile five hundred of1ice-seekers will be drawing salaries as inquisitors and collectors. Iowa State Register.
 Secretary Carlisle had better hire a plumbef Congress cannot stop such a democratic leak. When the next congress stands democracy on its head the leak will be arrested at once. The worm holes in this administration are bigger than an inch auger would bore.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 sdS" The people of the United States are intelligent enough to discern who are the friends of the sugar trust and who are the enemies of tariff smashing. Sugar even cannot becloud and com plicate the issue. The republicans and democrats went on record on the ques- tion of sugar pure and simple, last summer, when, they voted solidly against the Wilson tariff schedule, by which the democratic senators put millions of dollars into the coffers of the trust, dealt death blow to Blaine reciprocity and injured the country's trade with Germany and other na- tions to the extent of millions of dol. lars annually.-Albany Journal,

ELECTRIC TEA KETTLE.
New Application of Modern Progress ts
 Drawing-Room Uses.

New Application of Modern Progress to
 DrawinG-Room Uses.
 A firm of London silversmiths has produced an electric tea kettle, which is said to have considerable vogue in London drawing-rooms,
 The primary and very appreciable attraction of the electric kettle is it's absolute cleanliness. There are, of course, no fumes of any kind from the electric light which is used to produce the heat, and therefore the process of using the kettle is absolutely cleanly. Nor is the simplicity of the new kettle and it's method of use any less admir- able than its perfect cleanliness. It Is only necessary to attach the cord in which the electric wires are inclosed to any connection which may be fitted up in room for lighting purposes,g and the apparatus is in working order in a moment. The kettle, which is a very shapely and agreeable production, is made in such a way that when it is filled with water and placed upon the stand in which is the electric lamp, it can be tilted up and the water poured from it without the necessity of removing it from the stand, and by this means the

risk of scalding the hands or of,spill. ing the water is avoided. The lamps with which these kettles are fitted are of varying powers, ranging from eight to ffty-candle power, the most useful size, which is generally recommended for ordinary purposes, being of sixteen candle power. This size Is very service able and economical in usage, and capable of affording all the heat which is required under ordinary circum- stances. A lamp of this strength is amply sufficient to keep boiling water hot as long as may be necessary, while one of fifty-candle power will boil a pint of quite cold water In twelve minutes, while to go to the other ex- treme one of even eight-candle power will suffice to keep water hot.

G,r,hoods Charm in Woman.

The woman who keeps the simplicity of her girlhood, it's generous impulses and quick sympathies, and who adds to her natural gifts the enlargement of study and the crown of experience, is always at her best and never past it. When the exterior attractions of form and color diminish and depart, as they mostly do, the radiance of our inner il- lumination will more than compensate their departure. But, in order that this should be so, her moral must equal her intellectual gain. She must be willing to learn, not only her own powers, but her own defects also, and to court the good influences which can help her to escape from the delusions of sense and the fatal tyranny of self consciousness. She must discard the petty measures of vanity and self-seek- ing, and learn to love her race, her country and the humanity which she should help to adorn.-Julia Ward Howe. ss ;hs

contracting of the pupil, and the sparkle of the eye, and will not admit that they are able, independent of the lid, to convey suggestion of emotion. Whether this be so or no, it is certain 1y true that the slight elevation of the under eyelid-the expressive one-pro- duces that languishing look which the Greek loved, and which one secs on the face of Venus.
 The Turkish and Circassian women use Lenna for psnciling the eyes, while those among the Arabs of the desert blacken the edge of the eyelid with powder, and draw line about the eye to-make it appear larger. In fact, it is whispered that these women of the desert are not the only ones who make use of the device. The Spanish grand danes squeeze orange juice in- to their eyes. It is a trihe painful at first, but it cleanses the ball and i'm parts remarkable brightness temper Erily.
 Eyelashes are thicliest in the middle, and taper toward each end, and are constantly being renewed. Each hair natures in five months, and then drops out, to be succeeded by a new one. Long and silky eyelashes are said to be n sign of gentleness.
 The ideal brows are arched, well marked, though not heavy, and dis tinctly separated. Although, indeed, the Roman motive of beauty included small forehead and united brows. Ovid tells us that the women of his time cleverly painted them so that they ap- peared as one.
 The perfect eyelid should form an oblong, for the large, round eye in a circular aperture is indicative of 'boldness; the small circular one of pertness. Lashes should be lsng and silky.
 The care of the brows is a very sim ple matter. At night, just before re- tiring, take little pomatum on the tip of the forefinger and rub it gently into the arched eyebrow. Then lightly pass n towel over the same. This is to pro- mote the growth. We do this every night and morning." as one maiden jocularly remarl1ed; i've have braids." In the morning the sticky substance is carefully washed out with soft cloth and warm water; then little fragrant eau de cologne is applied, and the tiny silver-mounted brush comes into play. It gently pats and smooths the fine hairs into a slender, arched line. If this be repeated every morning a def- cient brow will quickly mend its ways and wide, refractory one be brought into meek submission.
 Eyelashes may have their ends clipped with the scissors once in every five or six weeks. This is all the treat ment they require to make them long and curved.-N. Y. Press.

WOMAN AND HOME.
EYEBROW CULTIVATION.

 misunderstanding the pretty toilet articles that lie in great profusion on the dressing table, you come across a tiny brush, delicate and white, with a finely chased silver back. You won- der at it's purpose.
 What is this for?" you ask, holding 1t up. The owner looks at it for mo- ment with thoughtful, puzzled eX- precision. Suddenly her face clears. ''Oh, yes, that's my new eyebrow brush," she explains.
 The disciples ot physical culture have n new cult, They devote themselves to the eyebrow and eyelash, for the possibility of the brow and lash as a factor in facial expression is being more fully appreciated. Indeed, Buff ion, the naturalist, places the eye brow next in importance to the eye itself in giving character to the physi- ognomy. This is partly because, he says, of the marked contrast of this feature to the others of the face. The brows are shadow in the picture, bringing its color and drawing into strong relief. Eyelashes also con tribute their effect; when long and thick they overshadow the eye, and make it appear softer and more beau- tiful.
 It is, indeed claimed by many that the eycball itself is incapable of ex- precision; that it is the dropping or sud den lifting of the lid which speaks. These even pass by the dilating or

HOW TO SERVE APPLES.
Four Nice Ways In which| They Can ps ;ss Prepared for tho Table.

'tt Prepared for tho Table.
 The French cook who professed to cook apples in 400, different ways was not necessarily exaggerating. Here are some of the nice things which can be made: < Buttered Apples.-Pare and core six nice apples and place them whole in a saucepan with Q piece of butter. the size of anegg; put a tehspoonfal of su- gar in each of the holes where the cores were and stick clove meach ap. pie; stew very gently, covering the saucepan that they may cook tender by the steam; turn them occasionally, and when very tender lay them on a glass dish containing half-inch layer of apple marmalade; put a cube of red currant jelly on the top of each, dust with sugar ana cinnamon and serve very cold.
 Compote.-This is much superior to apple sauce. Put one-haf pound of su- gar and pint of water in granite preserving pan, add the thin yellow rind and juice of two lemons; boil ur- til the scum rises, remove it and add six apples, pared, .cored and quartered. Simmer until the apples are clear with out breaking them if possible. It will take about 20 minutes.
 Frosted Apples. dozen ap- ples with their skins on in the water containing small piece of alum. Put them over in cold water and when the skins will pull off with the fingers re- move them and dip the apples in melt ed butter; sprinkle thichly with coarse granulated sugar and bake in slow oven. If carefully done they will sparkle as if frosted. Pile in a pyramid and pass whipped cream with them.
 Miroton of Apples. half a dozen pared, cored and sliced apples with a very little water, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and some powdered cinnamon When reduced to pulp spread this smoothly in dish. Boil eight Jumps of cut sugar with teacupful of water and the thinly-grated rind of two lemons for a few minutes; add butter the size of an egg, a spoonful of flour, the yolks of two eggs and the white of one; mix all these well over the fire and spread over the apples. Whip the two remaining whites to a stiff froth and when the custard is cold pile the whipped whites upon it; sift sugar on the top and set in the oven moment for the apples to brown.-American Agrioulturist.

WILSON'S LOGIC.
An Explanation Which Does Not Exactly
 ExDiain.

Explain.
 It must be confessed by Mir. Wilson's friends that logic is not his strong point. His attempted explanation of tho democratic disaster bristles with inconsistencies, and with sophistries that are nothing if not absurdities. He insists that the hard times, and not the tariff tinkering, brought about the result; but he evades the important fact that but for tariff tinkering there would have been no hard times. It is is not to be forgotten that when he and other democratic orators were urging the people to vote for change in the tariff, they promised them better times, and told them that the continu- ance of the protective policy would cause bankruptcy and poverty The people had a perfect right, therefore, to hold the party in power responsible for the industrial depression that at tended it's policy of tariff reform. It stood pledged to improve the situation that existed when it assumed control of the government, and it did not keep that pledge. On the contrary, under the conditions which it introduced, business of all kinds was seriously in- jured, labor lost large share of em- ployment, and things went from bad to worse in every respect It is beg ging of the question to say that this visitation of misfortune was accident al, or incidental, and that the blame for it was put upon the democratic party simply because that party hap pened to be predominant.
 The truth is that the country was prosperous under republican rule, and that it ceased to be prosperous as soon as the democrats took charge of public affairs. There were no reasons but political ones for the panic that en- sued, and the general loss and trouble that came upon the country. The hard times were not precipitated by unseen and inexplicable influences, nor yet by visible forces operating outside of the sphere of legislative and administra- tive action. They were directly due to the new order of things at Wash ington, to the evil tendencies and de- tstructive theories and projects of the democratic party. It is no answer to say that the people had voted for change involving such consequences as were thus presented; they had not been advised that it would be neces- sary for them to pass through period of prevailing and severe disaster in order to secure tariff reform. If they had known or suspected in advance that the result would be of that nu- ture they would not have elected democratic president and congress :n 1892. That is the plain and sober meaning of their verdict this year, and Mir. Wilson cannot make anything else of it. His logic is at contraries with the facts He tries to formulate an explanation without taking account of the most important factors of the prob lem; he improvises premises to suit the conclusion that he wishes to reach. That sort of service is of no use to any party, and certainly no intelligent citizen can be deceived by it for a mo- ment.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

When the skins were re- moved before boiling the loss was fourteen per cent, which makes the process of cooking the potatoes with out their jackets an exceedingly waste fr1l oOa
