To make closet door novel and
attractive hang on it good motto in
brass or carved wood. A silk or satin

Rugs to be thoroughly cleansed
from dirt should be beaten with that
useful little article known as a whip.

For hands that perspire excessively
bathing the hands several times a day
with hot infusions of white oak bark is
recommended.
The very best way to wash mirrors

face with alcohol and dust it with
whiting, and finally polish it off with a
chamois skin or soft cotton cloth.

bag of sand retains the heat much
longer than water or brick, and is
preferred by some persons. Like a

The white of an egg, with a little
sugar apd water, is good for a child
with an irritable stomach.
Clear, black coffee, diluted with
water and containing little ammonia,
will cleanse and restore black clothes

pounds of soap are kept in drying racks. Ii

On another floor the process OF making
toilet soaps goes on without the aid of ket-
ties boiling. Cocoanut oil is placed in
watts, the proper quantities of aikaliS are
added and the mass kept in a state of con-
tnual ebulition with paddles worked by
hand, the alkali boiling the fats into acid.
Allsali is added to neutralize the acids, and
soap is the result. The soft soap is put
in the crutcher, where soda, perfumes and
coloring matter ale added and the mass
into frames to harden. Notified soaps are
made by floating the colorng matter on top
and mixing it by swift movements of pad
die. 1t is afterward cut and pressed into
cakes in much the same manner as laun-
dry soap. When the soap comes out of the
exterior but after Ii has been scraped ii is

as the milling process, the ingredients be-

soap factory is provided with labora-
tory, in which the chemistry of soap max
ing is carefully studied and experimental
ders are invented and acid compounds, to
rapidly eradicate the dirt from cloth, are
discovered, for soap making is, after all,
very practical chemistry.

A Fact Worth Recall ng.

President Cleveland, like his cab =
met subordinate, during the last ses-
sion, in public interview, endeavOr-
ed to justify his position with regard
to Hawaii by the statement that Ha-
waii is a wholly independent nation,
foreign to the United States in all res
poets, and in which this country has
no interest different from the interest
which it has in any foreign country.
Yet, at the very last session of Con-
gress, the President of the United
States sent message to Congress,
asking that that body graht authority
to the Hawaiian Government TO per-
NIT Great Britain to land cable on
Hawaiian sol. Aud the treaty uLder
which Hawaii ceded to the United
States the right to determine what
foreign countries shall he allowed to
do within Hawaiian territory was
negotiated under Mr.. Cleveland's
former administration. The presi-
dent in his pubic utterance, las eX-
hinited great ignorance of the acts OF
his own administration, or he has
presumed upon the credulity Of Con-
gress and tie American people. The
statement Of President Cleveland that
Hawaii stands in the same relation to
the United States that any other for
eigu power DOES, y false ia history
and false in fact. There is no other
foreign country which Is compelled TO
ask the United States tor permission
TO do what it plea-es with iJs own
territory.

AMERICAN MACHINERY ABROAD.
A Good Opening for Manufa cturers of
Woodworking Tools.

Woodworking Tools.
American manufacturers of woodwork
ing machinery, which has done so much
in the last few years to make furniture
cheap and house building reasonable,
ought to be interested in a suggestion
from Eugene German, United States
consul at Zurich who thinks that there
is a COON market in Switzerland for
American tools and woodworking ma
chinery. In q recent letter on the sub
ject he says that Swiss furniture wagon
and carriage manufacturers are still
using old methods to cut, carve and bend
what wood they work up for their re-
quirements. He cautions American
manufacturers, however, too see that all
tools and machines sent to Switzerland
are patented in that country as well as
in Germany to prevent limitations being
manufa ctured from the first model sent
out. 1t is q Well-known fact, he says,
that German manufacturers make q
practice of initiating American machines
and tools and then cut under our prices.
Consul German thinks that not only may
worked up among the 100000 people of
Switzerland, but that American wood
working machinery manufacturers would
find a good field to operate in Germany,
France, Austria-Hungary and Italy. In
support of his position Consul German
cites the experience of a wagon manu-
facturer of Burlington, Ia, who, while
visiting Zurich last summer for pleasure
inspected one Of the wagon shops there
Being something of a Yankee the Iowa
man succeeded, before he left the shop,
in selling the astute German $100 worth
of wagon and carriage wheels. When
the wheels arrived, some months later.
the German manufacturer was so well
pleased with the workmanship, quality
and price of the goods that he ordered
$4,000 worth of machinery from the
American firm that supplied the Iowa
manufacturer. 1t would seem not a great
risk for American manufacturers to make
a bid for the Swiss market

sober fact and reality to instance the man
who can celebrate his hundredth wedding
anniversary. Such celebration actually

by name, the still happy bridegroom being
116 years Of age and named Jean Szath-
mary, and his bride but year his junior
These people were peasants, and among
the poorest in the little Hungarian town,
but the fact of their having lived to cele-
brate so unique an occurrence as the hum
dredth anniversary of their marriage has
made them the most honored citizens of
the place. The little municipality of
Zsombulga has voted them a pension, and
so long as they live they will be taken
care of by the village. The Vienese jour

A lady in whose service was maid
who had been trained as nurse granted
her leave to go to a neighboring town
to attend to a married cousin who was
very unwell. Mary departed according
ly, but only to write at the expiration
of few days that her relative had died,
and that she proposed returning immedi-
ately after the funeral. On her arrival
she startled her employer by resigning
her situation and asking to be permitted
to dispense with the usual notice, as she
was going to be married.
''But to whom, Mary?" said her aston
ished mistress. II was not even aware
that you had a sweetheart"
IF you please, ma'am," replied Mary,
giggling, with her apron corner ito the
corpse's husband. He said at the funeral
that was the life and soul of the entire
