Cleaning Pots and Pans.

A woman naturally hates to clean up
bread or cake bowl after the dough has got
hard. They should be cleaned as soon as
used, but if necessary to leave them for
time run the tray or bowl full of cold wa
ter and let it stand so. When you get
ready to clean it, the dough will be in the
bottom of the utensil as a general thing,
and you will only have to rinse and dry it.
The same is true of kettles and skillets. l
do not approve Of setting any utensils
aside when the dishes are washed, for if
you keep an oyster shell with a thick,
smooth edge at hand you can clean the
roughncss out of anything in half a mo-
ment, but if you don't want to do 1t just
then you II find that an iron pot in
which pot res have burned to the bot
tom, or skillet in which meat or gravy
has smmcred to crust, will be easy
enough to clean after standing al hour
or two filled with cold water.

Outhtrn Opinion of Judge Powers.

Always excepting Senator Hoar's
Grafton on Webster, Powers tribute to
Stark was decidedly the best speech of
the day. 1t was eloquent, scholarly,
chaste, dignified and in the best taste.
The only fault that could be found with
it was brevity, a rare and a sinless fault
in speech in congress; but fault that
attends all Judge Powers speeches.
For many years Judge Powers was on
the supreme bench of Vermont, and it
is not too much TO say that he is the
one republican in the house who is
match for old Dave Culberson at the
bar.
1 strongly suspect that he is of
democratic antecedents and strayed
into the republican party when Afri-
can slavery in the territories was
the only political issue. He is one of
the very few men in public life who
have attained distinguished place in
the national councils without uttering a
single word that was calculated to
ruffle the feeli gs of a political OPP
ponent. His speech in support of the
Sibley claim, a southern war claim,
gave him the heart of every southern
congressman, and all his utterances had
commanded their respect.
The workman is known by his chips,
and Judge Powers never addresses the
house that his audience does not feel it
is judge who is talking, and learned
and just judge at that. He loves to
talk about the profession, and no man
is fuller of anecdotes of the New Eng
land bar than he. He is typical of
the state that gave Thad Stevens to
Pennsylvania, Stephen A. Douglas
to Illinois and Matt Carpenter to Wis
consin. He can talk for hours about
such men as jeremiah Mason, Ichabod
Bartlett, Samuel Dexter, Justice Story
and other great lights of the bar, and
his conversation is always most anus
ing and instructing.
He is man of massive frame and
massive head-one of the handsomest
men in congress. 1t is great pity that
there are not more statesmen like him
democrats and republicans. He is Just
such man as every good boy imagines
his father to be.-LouiSUile Courier

Sherman's Little Joke.

Along with perfect discipline every
day showed some proof of General
Sherman's sympathy with the common
with them, too. When the army reached
Goldsborough half the men were in
rags. One day division was ordered
to march past him in review. Tho men
were barelegged and ragged, some Of
them almost hatless. "Only look at
the poor fellows with their bare legs, p"
said an officer at the generals side
sympathizingly. "Spleudid legs" cried
the general, with twinkle in his eye;
"spleudid legs. Would give both of

They have arranged a system of progressive
meals. BY this arrangement one gets
breakfast one day, dinner the next and tea

one has one meal to prepare and two meals

Anywhere on LIES street.

Everywhere that you meet2
Her hair was in yellow taugles.
There we're prints of sweets on her face,
She spoke in broken language.
And lisped with a child's rare grace.

This queer little girl in blue,
with rent in her wee white apron,
And gap in each scarlet shoe
Her shoe.stiings were always dangling,
And her stockings sure to be
Loosed aud show ing the dmples
Set in each rosy ace.
If angels lad stolen our Alice
Away from her lite of play;

We had hidden our girl away
II could know she had wandered
The heavenly gateway through,

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
High Tide Mt Gettysburg.

A cloud possessed the hollow field
The gathering battles smoky shieio;
Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horsemen dash ed
Aud from the heights the thunder pealed.
Then. at the brief command of Lee
Moved out that matchless infantry,
with Pickett leading grandly down,
TO rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
cry across the tumult runs:
The voice that rang through Shiloh's woods,
Aud Chilean auga's solitudes;
The fierce South cheering on her sons.
Ah how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Petigrewl
A khamsin wind that scorched and snged,
Like that internal flame that frnged
The British quares at Waterloo
A thousand fell where Kemper led;
A thousand died where CT n EFT bled;
In binding flame and strangling smoke,
The remnant through the batteries broke,
And crossed the works with Armistead.

" Close round this rent and rdded ragi"
What time she set her attic flag

But who shall bi eak the guards that wait
Before the awful face Of fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the lannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were desoate
In vain the Tennessean set
His breast against the bayonet;
In vain Virginia charged and ragged.

SLOWLY STARVING.
Surrounded by Plenty, but Dying
for Food.
An Everyday Occurrence. 49, Our Friends
Perishing Before Our Eyes.

An Everyday Occurrence. - Our Friends
Perishing Before Our Eyes.
A terrible experience for any one to 60
through, that of seeing some beloved
friend actually wasting away before our
eyes, unable to derive sufficient nourish-
ment from their food to sustain life.
Medicine naturally becomes of little
avail, and the various organs of the body,
deblitated from lack Of nourishment,
take on themselves the disease that was
originally the cause of the breakdown"
and help hasten the end
Such cases, though TOO prevalent, are
happily becoming less frequent. The
prominent physicians Of to-day do things
differently from those of twenty years
ago. They first put the patient in con-
dition to stand the SIEGE" then enrich
his blood, create for him new strength,
and build him up" generally. The
patient is then in condition to derive
benefit from his medicine.
This is done by the use of Bovinine,
the original raw food, Il is an extract
that contains the greatest amount of the
DEMONSTRATING and tissue-building proper
ties of lean, raw meat, concentrated in
the least possible bulk.
The advantage of this is obvious. A
patient already greatly weakened by dis
ease, needs to husband every particle Of
strength. A few drops of Bovinuc will
impart as much nourishment TO the body
as would be derived by a well person
from an ordinary meal; and, in getting
this nourishment, the stomach has been
forced to do the least possible amount of
work
Bovinine, continued throughout an i'll
ness, greatly hastens recovery. Taken
at the beginning of a wasting disease, it
diverts the cause of the trouble by tOning
up the various organs, and getting them
In normal condition.
Bovnine is Endorsed by $4,000 doctors.
Its action is always beneficial, as a single
trial will convince the most sceptcal.

Infection and Distinction.

After a case of measles recently,
the physician called to assure him
self that all was we'll and to make
sure disinfcction had been thorough.
The mother of the child had listened
to instructions with one ear, while
the other was bent upon the coming
Of carriage wheels to take her shop
ping. She knew all about it, and so
when questioned by the medical
man she rcpl,cd: "Oh, burned
teaspoonful of sulphur and slninkled
the floor with copperas and carbolic,
and washed the walls with boraX,
and had the maid put all the bed
ding in the tub and aired the blank
cts, and shook the rugs, and spilled
some camphor over the mattress, and
gave the children good scrubbing
with ammonia in the water But

lingo of disinfection. Poor Dick
took cold and was very i'll, and Mel

'It3Ct Few chemicals are valuable
diSinfecjants, and of these only
,uch are worth anything as are in
diligently applied. Some persons
think anything with an odor is suff1-
ciont. Quite the contrary. Corro-
SivC Sublimate, one of the best for
killing microbes, has little or no
odor. Sulphur is only reliable when
its fumes are very strong and they
permeate every fiber of material and
every crevice of an infected room or
its furniture, Three pounds of pow
dcrcd sulphur are necessary thor
oughly to fumigate an ordinary sized
room. Every crevice should be tight
ly closed, and any draperies which
are not taken down before the case
progressed should be spread out over
a temporary line or on chairs. The
fumes should reach the remotest
part of whatever is in the room
The sulphur should be put into an
iron pan placed in tub, with water
in the bottom to prevent fire. and
then ignited with a live coal. The
room should be left closed for at
least "a hours and well aired after
ward.
Sunlight and air are about as es-
sential to d'sinfection after disease
as Is medicine to recovery. 1t must
be remembered that owing to the
vitality of the contagion of disease
infection is most liable where rooms
are badly ventilated and health is
not at par Distinction is often in

sequently should be we'll understood
before being attempted. If disinfec-
ton was perfectly understood, dis
ease would ere long be stamped out,
for there would not be second case.
Isolation is the great precautionary
measure, and when the least suspi-
cion of serious trouble is present
there should be no hesitation in Sc

diagnosis can he obtained. New

THE REASON WHY.

The republican party of Kansas is at
work trying to make the people be-
lieve it is for the free coinage Of silver.
In the campaign Of '92 they denounced
the populists as silverites. In '94 they
were silent on the money question in
their conventions and denounced
everything pertaining to that question
on the stump. They are now trying to
hedge. The following interview of the
Topeka correspondent Of the News
fully explains their actions Of last
year:
TN the last campaign we sim
ply had to oppose free silver
because the pops were for
it. In that contest they had to be
beaten on theil own ground, no matter
whether it was right or not. We knew
that it would have been but folly for
us to have ever made partial surren-
der by the endorsement of their free
silver ideas, even with the knowledge
that they did not believe in it, and
thatdwe did. Hence our party con-
cede everything and then licked them
to the tune of over 10000 votes. With
that result before us we cannot afford
to take up such questions of finance
aswe consider best for the country.
What will they do next year? The
populists will take the same position
on the financial question then as they
have since the formation of the party.

flee reveal the fact that Governor Nor
rill paid his private secretary, his stem
Ographer, clerk, and expenses of his
Office in the Columbian building during
the thirty days he had his headquarters
there before his Inauguration, out Of
his contingent fund.
One voucher on file in the auditors
Office, No 1900, is for S65 95. This
money was used for the following pur-
poses: Office supplies, Sl3 80; table,

The Right Ring.
Coming Nation.

Coming Nation.
While denying that they favor a one
plank money platform, a symposium
in the New York World by Taubeneck
Marion Butler T. E. Watson, j. G.
Sibley, PETER, Weaver, Warner, Hew-
ard, 1illman and McLauren, shows
that the prevailing pulsation is for
anything that will unite money reform
ers regardless of any other questions.
I he rank and file of the peoples party
are laboring people. They are inter
ested in having juster money system,
but they are also interested in getting
rid of being slaves for railroad kings,
coal barons and manufacturing dukes
and princes. Money reform will help
all but the very rich, but the labOrers,
those who work for hire, will be the
last to get benefit. If the railroads,
mines and great factories are to be
held as private property for private
gain, men must be slaves to their own
ers. If men have to work for these
men. then the workers cannot say
what the product of their hands shall
sell fOr-it can be raised in price as
rapidly as raise in wages. No change
in the money standard will compel en-
ployers to give employment to all who
desire-machinery has made the labor
of all unnecessary il those employed
work two or three hours . day. And
corporations will not be compelled to
pay more wages of give shorter hours
so long as the labor market is full of
idle men. The peoples party should
not ignore the principle of the Omaha
platform demanding the public owner
ship of the railroads and telegraph. 1t
is of more vital Importance to the
working people than the adjustment Of
monetary law, for it embraces the pub
lie as against the private manipulation
of the circulating medium. If there is
any principle in the Omaha platform
it is the theory of public ownership,
aud that principle should be defended
or the platform set aside--a job that
will never be accomplished, or if it is
one might as we'll go into either of the
old parties for they oppose public
ownership.
