THE OHIO CONVENTION.
Delegates Arriving -Brice Claims 500 of the 008 Delegates Nomination May
 Be Forced Upon sorg.

Springfield. O., Aug. 19.-Delegates to the democratic convention are now com- ing in, but those who are now here are not quite willing to express their opini ms as to the result of the convention. Not wthstanding the refusal of Sorg and Kllbourne to be candidates their friends are urging their claims. Sorg's refusal was not one that could not be withdrawn, as he said his health was poor and the pressure of business prevented him from accepting the place. The silver men have not given up the fight. Col. William Tay- Tor arrived tonight He said: We claim 33S silver delegates in the conven- tion and concede S21 men, with lf7 doubtful. I do not undertake to say that we will control the convention, but We will make such a showing that the Brice men will be glad to make conce ssians to us"
 Barney Layton, who arrived this after noon. said that Mir. Brice would have 900 of the sos delegates, and thai on sound money platform he could control per- haps 600. Capt B. C. Ballentine thinks that the nomination will be forced upon Sorg. John II. Thomas is making hard fight to secure gubernatorial nomina- tion.
 A rumor tonight is that Senator Briee will compromise on Thomas, providing the latter's friends will lend 5'rice all their aid if he is a presidential eandl- date in 1896.

LAvENDERsD LINEN.
A Delightful odor for the bureau and
Clothes Closet.


A Delightful odor for the bureau and
Clothes Closet.
There is no perfume more refreshing
than old-fashioned lavender, such as
was used in olden times for the sach-
cts of the bed linen closet. Linen Is
here used to mean all sheets and pill
low cases, whether of linen or cotton.
1t was never customary TO lavender
table linen, though towels were some
times perfumed with the refreshing
faint fragrance of lavender. There
was an old idea prevalent that the
perfume of lavender induced slumber,
and there was probably some founda-
ton in the idea, as odors are now
known to affect the health and induce
either sleep or wakefulness. The
lavender flower used for the old sachet
is a plant once grown extensively in
this country, but now somewhat rare,
though common IN England. LDle the
foxglove, primrose and English
plants, it does not survive our winters
successfully. 1t often does fairly we'll,
however, in our northern latitude, be-
cause though it can stand cold, it can
not stand alternate freezing and thaw-
ing, so common in our winter season
as far south as New York. Dried Law
ender may always be purchased in the
New York markets in the fall at about
five cents for the half pint of dried
flowers. This is plant that throws
out its full perfume in flower, and must
be collected for drying at this season,
like summer savory, and not like most
other dried herbs, just before 1T BIOS
sons The true English lavender bears
a pale, dropping blossom like a minia-
ture bell, 1t is not to be COMPOUNDED
with lavender balm, a common garden
herb of no special value. Make little
bags of white linen for lavender
sachets and embroider them, if you
have any skill with the needle,
in pale green and purple, with
sprays of the plant. Fill these bags
with dried lavender and tie up the
ends with length of No. l ribbon in
pale purple. Lay several such sachets
among the sheets and pillow cases of
the linen closet and among other bed
ding, but keep the table linen by itself.
Nothing is so disagreeable as any at
tempt to perfume table linen. No
odor mixes well with the odors of food,
except that of fresh flowers of delicate
fragrance, and even these are objec-
tionable to some. To make regular
pot-pourri powder of lavender fra
GRANGE take one pound of dried laven-
der flowers, pound of dried rose
leaves, half pound of crushed orris
root, two ounces of crushed cinnamon
and pound Of table salt. Mix all
these ingredients thoroughly and put
them in a pot-pouli jar. Cork it
tightly and let it stand for two weeks.
Then uncork it and put on the loose
pot-pourri cover. To perfume the room
open the jar for ten or twelve minutes
every day, after sweeping, airing and
busting, IN. Y. Tribune.
