Ripping Up . Garment Is . Task Requir-
 ing Some SKILL
 There is general impression that 1t is an easy enough matter to rip up a garment. Almost anybody can do 1t, and it is an undertaking that requires no special skill or care. Acting on this ieda, clothing is pulled, torn, cut with knives, shipped with scissors and, final- ly, taken to pieces after this unprofita- ble fashion, and the operator comes and declares that everything is ready. A dyer who handles large quantity of black goods says that he long ago gave up expecting anybody to rip garment up as it should be done. If the seams are ripped, they are full of threads; sometimes there are buttons on; hooks and eyes are not uncommon; the fronts of them are stuck full of pins of various sorts, and Things, facings, braids and the like remain, in whole or in pieces, just as the individual who had charge of the disintegrating process happens to leave them.
 To rip up garment properly there should be no pulling, tearing or drag ging apart. If one cannot take the end of the thread and pull it out, the stitches should be cut with a sharp knife. Very few persons can rip gar. ment with scissors without doing it great harm; indeed, many find it i'm. possible to cut stitches with anything without making holes that render the goods absolutely worthless for the one who originally wore it. When it is done the edges are so ragged that much smaller pattern must be used. In pre- pairing goods for the dyer or to be made over, every stitch should be taken out. It seems scarcely necessary to say that fastenings, braid and hooks and eyes must be removed, but this is imperative, in view of the condition in which the garments come to the dressmaker and the dyer. Many dresses, capes and jack cts are perfectly wearable after being carefully ripper, brushed, sponged and pressed. It is wonder that some one does not set up an establishment for rip- ping clothes and putting them in order for the dressmaker, The owner of them frequently has not time to do them propcsly, or is too careless and under stands too little the requirements of them to do it, had she all the time in the world. Some semi-invalid in every com munity might get tolerable living, or at least add to q limited income, by pre- pairing garments for remodeling.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

.lsarLed at St. Louis. The masses of the party throughout the country desired uf the hands of this convention, pre- sinmirant,y, two things, namely: the Gomination of Maj. William Mckinley for xhe presidency, and the adoption of 2. platform as to the money question wnx.h would remove all doubt as to the 6defIty of the party to the gold stand -arf- The convention, recognizing this overwhelming sentiment, obeyed the popular mandate, and the party goes fnfa ffne canvass under the leadership of sse man whom the people had se- fsctsss, md in defense of the principle whGs~. maintenance they justly regard az essential te the promotion of the na- tis,nai prosperity and the preservation of rhe natiennl honor.
 &t was not merely, however, in the selection of a party candidate and in fhe formulation of the party platform -thaf this convention recognized the ad- vaEnssa party sentiment. One of the riangsrs which has meraced the party during recent years has been the growth and extent of boss domination-the in- trusiol of the personal element into the party management at the expense of principle and sound policy. Boss rule, moro or less obnoxious, has been estab- 1ished md enforced in all of the larger stafss- It has become obvious that this condition of things could not much longer continue with safety to the party interests. Evidently, the delega- tsons of these great states, accredited to the St. Louis convention for the high purposes of nominating the party stand- ard bearer and determining it's policy for the campaign, recognized the neces- sity of breaking down these local autoc- racies and transferring the party man. agcment, as far as possible, to the hands of men more truly in accord with the fresher and better impulses of the party. Is happened, therefore, that in at least half dozen of the larger states, includ- ing Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and one or two others. the old party ma chimes were discredited Tn the selection 'ol the men who are to manage the com ang campaign. The members of the na- fsonai committee from these states rep resent the aspiring, vigorous, cleanlier element of the party, and will bring to ;th" management of the canvass broad 'a'Hl catholic spirit which has not been displayed in some recent contests. We may reasonably expect that. as a result oi this change in leadership, and the

 DThe people who want a return ol protection and prosperity appreciate the fact that President Mckinley vii be powerless to secure them if he is moi backed by a protection congress, hence they are prepared to keep a sharp look out for the election of such a congress Chicago Times-Herald.
 DAs usual, the democratic party sees its mistake too late. If it had not coquetted with the populists in 1892 or taken it's stand in favor of wildcat state bank currency or adopted the populistic income tax, it would now be in far better position to withstand populistic ideas and to favor sound money.-Troy Times.
 DDemocrats howlcd many years for "a tariff for revenue only" before they got it. And then, when it proved to be "a tariff for deficit only," the people be- gan to kick the statesman out of office before they had fairly got settled into their seats. Nothing but "the time limit has kept Cleveland in his place. Chicago Times-Herald.
 OThree years ago in November, in moment of madness, the wise, benefi- cent, prosperous policy inaugurated by the republican party was overthrown. He who gave the name to the law under which the land was prospcring, thrown into a gerrymander district, was de- feated for reelection. Did it not seem that the future had nothing in store for him? He was the stone rejected of the builders. To-day he is the corner stone of the new republican edifice, to rise finer and stronger, statelier and nobler than ever. - Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
 DOn the great and paramount issue or protection Mckinley enjoys a unique position. Daniel Webster was appro. prlately entitled the defender of the constitution. William Mckinley is as properly styled the champion of protec- .'on' on this great republican doctrine ne IS as logical as he is luminous. In all or ms splendid speeches on this ques t'on he has invariably exhibited the broad statesmanship. the fervid patriot ism and the stanch Americanism that sohstitute him the incor,parable leader of the people in this great con. 'est.--'N. '. Mail and Express.

LUMINOUS COMPLExlONS
Striking Effects in illumination Seen .
 a Paris Afternoon Tea.

Striking Effects in Illumination Seen at Paris Afternoon Tea.
 Electric lights are out of date at Paris society functions, and gas. can dies and lamps have likewise been superseded. Phosphorescent furniture is the latest fad, and formed an inter- esting feature of a unique five o'clock tea" which took place the other day in the Rue de Longchamps, Paris. It was not evident where the light came from, but every object in the room was luminous. The ceiling sparkled as with diamonds. Chairs, carpet. pie lures, flowers, teacups-all emitted luminous rays. Nor were these fasci- hating gleams limited to the room and its furnishings, but the gowns of the women were also brilliantly phosphor- escent, while their complexions g!eamed like pearls flooded with moon- light.
 As this idea threatens to become fad of no small proportions, it should be known by women who long to emit this spoonlike radiance that there is a luminous face powder which is said to fulfill its mission admirably. There is also in the market luminous starch with which the clever launlress can give laces, muslins and all the dainty articles of feminine attire perpetual source of radiance. The idea of an in- risibly lighter room. its atmosphere charged with luminous rays, is a very taking one, though it may be ques- toned whether phosphorescent com plexions and self-luminous linen collars would be becoming to all types of wom- en.-N. |.

Remains of a Roast Dinner.

Remains of a roast of lamb or mutton can De served in a variety of dainty ways. For instance, cut the meat in long, thin slices and heat them in a but tered baking dish with wine, preferably sherry. and a seasoning of salt, pepper and little mustard. Serve very hot with garnish of fried tomatoes or of mushrooms and highly-seasoned to. mato sauce. Or the slices may be well heated and served with a very rich white sauce and fried croutons of bread thick ly spread with anchovy butter. Cold lamb chops are nice if trimmed. spread thickly with puree of onions, dipped in egg and bread crumbs and fried; then garnished with parsley and served vii tomato sauce.

7nE ORIGINAL M.KlNLEY SONG.

TThe following verses were written by x.loSd Wyman. of Gainesville, O.. in the ssurnssaer of 1891, when Maj. Mckinley first xan for governor. They appeared in the Cleveland Leader and. though the captioIs may cavil at the poetry, the people indorsed the sentiments, and 1t soon became pop .slisr campaign song.]

IHE ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM.

IT seems that in recommending
James e. DOlan Of this county to fill
the vacancy on the republican state
committee caused by the resignation
OF Charles Sweeney, the republican
executive committee Of this county
has created quite stir in political
circles in the southern part of the
state. 1t now transpires that Sweeney
had not resigned and will be present
to exerc' Sc his right at the meeting Of
the state committee at Weiser on
March II. It is charged by the
Statesman that the appointment of
DOlan is part Of a scheme to take the
republican campaign headquarters
away from Boise, claiming that
Sweeney is friendly to that city while
DOlan is not, ard also to defeat Boise
for either Of the state conventions.
The statesman is undoubtedly correct
in saying there is a movement on foot
to leave her out in the cold this year,
but certainly is wrong in stating that
the executive committee for Kootenai
county has taken hand in the mat
ter. Dolan was recommended for the
place under Instructions from Chair
man Patrie of the state committee,
who claimed to have information of
SWeeney's resignation, and the ex-
ecutive committee of this county
acted in good faith, as they had no in
formation in contradiction to Chair
man Patrie's instructions.
