CARE OF I've

Half Of the beauty of velvet is it's
freshness, and this must be retained.
The chief clerk of one of the most sue
ces3ful velvet departments in New
York gives her experience in this re-
gard. As every N else does, she had
all velvet unrolled as 0 es it came
in, but, unlike many, she takes care to
paper every yard of it before loosely
folding it for the boxes. Large sheets
of white tissue paper are used, laying
them over the right side of the velvet,
and folding them from each or n end.
The paper keeps the gloss and prevents
the pile crushing, as we'll as keeping
the Dust from it. In cleaning up the
stock it is only necessary to dust the
boxes inside and out, thus saving the
surface from the deadly whisk broom.
If a brush had to be used at any time
it was a soft bonnet whisk, which, when
brushed against the pile, did not injure
it. With this care velvet
in stock six months and looked in per
feet condition.-Dry Goods Economist.

earth is more liable to habits than a
tiny, soft baby that you wouldn't think
could possess any distinct quality. A
mother, for some reason peculiar to
herself, finds it most convenient to
place her little one on it's left side. we
will say, for about three days. When
the fourth day arrives Master BABY
decides that there is something wrong
if he be- put upon his right side, and
forthwith begins to squirm and twist
until he fidgets himself awake. Mamma
places him on the other side, and he
.serenely settles himself.
Constantly lying on one side will
make a difference in the size of the
limbs upon that side, and will even
cause that side of the face to remain
smaller than the other. Children will
also draw up one leg in their sleep.
This, too, becomes a fixed habit, and
by the time the child has learned to
walk a difference in the length of the
two lower limbs will be noticed, a mis-
fortune which might have been avoid
9d, had the mother been careful to
watch the habits of the sleeping baby.

HANDKERCH1EFs AND DISEASE.

1t is not fully appreciated by the
public tn st the article we carry as an
every-d day and necessary part OF our
attire may become charged with ele-
ments of infection. If it we're there
would be shown much o care IN the
use of the handkerchiefs and in their
cleansing. Especially should this be
the case in families of whom any mem
Der is troubled with a cold or with an
inf uenza. One person with a catarrhal
affection may impart the trouble to al
entire household. This fact should
make it common practice to isolate the
h~andkerchiefs of an individual who is
affected by an ''ibfIenza." The hand
kerchiefs used by such a person, too,
should be treated in the following man
neT:
They should be placed under water
in which a quantity of kerosene oil
has been poured, and there remain for
say two or three days; then the water
is to be heated by pouring on boiling
water, and when this is cool enough
they may be wasted, soap being used,
of course. Another washing in oil and
O makes disinfection sure, and pm
pletely removes all stain and effects OF
nasal appropriation. Then rinse the
handkerchief is carefully warm water
and, if possible, hang upon a line 20

dry in the open air. Let them remain
out on the line over night. When
handkerchief are treated in this man
ner, diseased matter is robbed of its
danger, a fabric of delicate character
spared the sacrifice o~ccasioned by hard
rubbing and wash-board penalty, and
the luxury of a soft, clean and white
appliance may be had for the suffering
nose, which is liable to be for a time
very sensitive from effects of blowing
and e~xcoriation.." If the best quality
of kerosene oil is used, the handker-
chiefs are freely rinsed after oil and
soapy water has cleansed and disin-
fected them, and there will be no odor
of kerosene discoverable later in the
neatly-folded and ironed handkerchief.

GOLD AND SILVER

Never do those who learn their bread
by the sweat of their brow" need to
look for one ray of human rights to
fall upon their ruined condition from
that den of thieves that compose the
Cleveland system; but thanks be to
God! another sun has appeared in the
political horizon, and it is striving
hard to gain the ascendancy of the
zenith where it will stand and shed
forth it's genial rays of Equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,"
ard it is daily throwing off planets
made of the same righteous material.
We spoke of the conf sion which
would be caused if n planet
were to fly from it's orbit; 0 what
think ye of a whole system fl ing from
its orbit, failing to carry out the de-
mands of the great body of down trod
den humanity? It is easy to see, and
know from experience that such a
state Of things produces 8hati is known
as contuFioJ con founded"
AS the solar system is moving to-
ward a point in Hercules so the Cleve-
land system IS moving just as rapidly
as time can take it toward a point in
the constellation destruction, which
point it has about reached, and we
fear that destruction would be de
stroyed by it.
Oh! we need no Pythagosas to tell
us what music the members of the
Cleveland system make, as they roll in
the circles Of their wickednees; it takes
no philosopher, but the humblest
peasant can listen for one moment and
the pitiful meanings and weepings of
homeless fathers, widowed wives, and
orphaned children will snite on his
ears from every direction; that's the
music which that almighty Cleveland
system is presenting to the ears of this
nation to day strains that the patriot
will ever hear with regret.
0, God! we pray thee, arouse every
citizen in this land to a sense of duty,
and help him to wipe out forever a
system which works nothing but ruin
and desolation to the dearest land on
earth to him America.

Dakota Farmer:-With $50 to 300 large
mutton ewes there should be no trouble
in raising two car loads of good early
lambs, besides enough more to leave 80
or so of the most perfect eve lambs with
the flock. These lambs, il they come in
March or April SHOULD, with good care,
weigh when ready for shipment the fol-
lowing February, not less than 90pounds
with l20 in car. The two cars should,
or would at fair prices, say S cents.
bring close to $1,000. Deducting all ex-
penses, ii one raises his own grain and
he can and slould-this would leave a
nice little lump of easy made money.
Add to this amount the wool money aud
the so or so lambs added to the flock, and
an ordinary family need not want, even
though it took all hands to look after
300 ewes and they did nothing else. The
land remember would be none the worse
off for the sheep having been OH it.

HOW Abou, ,,ree ,yooI,

De Smet News: 1T is a long road tlla
has no turn" at least that is what Mas
ters Bros. have been saying for tie past
two years. And the turn seems to haze
come. When the bottom dropped out of
the sheep market they were left with
several hundred head OF sheep, and to
sell them would be to lose heavily. So
they Lung on, and for two years have
been waiting for the turn. A year ago
sheep would barely bring $l.5o per head
yet many closed out all they had. The
boys did not sell a sheep, and now the
market is up, they are owners er nearly
five hundred fine grade ewes. and the
spring crop of lambs will add several
hundred to their flock. A few days age
sheep sold as high as $3.50 on the st
Louis market, and the demand is greater
than the supply. A common scrub now
brings $3.50 to $500.

THE KIMBALL GRAPHIC
CLATE r. TINAN.
The Official Pauer Of BruIe County,

The Aberdeen Democrat calls attention
to the shameful neglect Of the last legis-
lature to pass proper bill for the pro-
lection Of game, notably prairie chick
ems. The Democrat cites the wholesale
slaughter of the chickens by trapping
in the timber along the river counties
in the winter season and points out the
sure extermlnati0n of the birds. The
Democrat in common with nlne-tenths
OF the newspapers OF the state, reminds
us OF the Irishman too late to catch the
train. A bystandcr remarked. "Ah,
Pat, you didn't ran fast enough" BE
dad, ruined fast enough, but l didn't
start soon enough" was his pointed reply
Tho Democrat should have come to the
front long time ago; it will be tXo
years before another legislature will
meet. IN few months the newspapers
will be calling attention to tho huntesr
after "snipe' and "stubble ducks" and in
a direct and indirect manner draw at
tentlOn to the violation of tho game
laws-that is as far as they go. The fact
is there are one hundred chickens
trapped and shot for market where there
is cne killed before the open season.
This latter violation is so insignificant
as to have no bearing whatever upon
the supply OF birds from year to year.
What is wanted is game wardens to stop
the trapping and illegal shooting for
market. A bill of this kind was killed
by the last legislature. 1t would have
passed had it not been for the apathy of
the press Of the state. But bill pro-
vlding for the appointment OF fish war
dens was passed. Great Scott. what a
country for the propagation of FISH.

Mr.. Dawson has been known political

Business is picking up all over the
east, which means corresponding adj
vance on all the produce from the west
ern farms. The improvement is visible
not only in the oil market. the grain
market, the iron market, but in all
classes Of securities. Even the bullion
price of silver has gone up, so much that
the manufacturers of silver goods have
advanced the price 20 per cent. Mutton
Is high, beef is high, pork is steady and
meats promise to bring good prices for a
year or SO to come. 1t looks as though
the farmer was going to get his inning
but it is awful to think it should come
