WHITE WONDER FOWLS.

are moderately feathered. One who
saw the white wonder" for the first
time would be likely to call il n very
large. feather-shanked white Wyan-
dotte. Bred as it is believed TO have
been, it is not surprising that it should
be an excellent layer and very good
table fowl, and that it should be hardy,
also. All these qualities il unquestion-
ably possesses, and these qualities have
served to give it some popularity in
spite of its appearance-that of dis
qualified white Wyandotte. Birds of
this breed have been sold, not only in
this country, but also in foreign lands.
A few years ago white wonder"
club was organized to foster this breed.
and the club has apparently been well
managed, for 1t has kept the breed be-
fore the public and has aided in increas-
ing its popularity. To sum up the
whole matter, the white wonder" is
an excellent practical fowl, but it's close
resemblance to the white Wyandotte
has prevented it from becoming very
popular among fanciers. They, as a
class, prefer the white Wyandotte for
show purposes.
1t is interesting. however, to study
the results that are got in cross breed
ing OF in making new "breeGs." 1t is
a pleasure that is within easy reach of
every poultry keeper. But to originate
q new breed that will hold its charac-
teristics and not "throw back" (atav-

There Is n Poor Outlook for the Dis

On the surface of affairs the indica-
fions are altogether favorable to Nc
Kinley's election. Let the people look
at the agitation in the democratic party
and read the list of men among its hith-
erto recognized leaders who have re-
pudluted it's platform and, if the list of
those who have repudiated it's candi-
dates is not quite so large, there need
be no serious concern on the subject.
IL there is great anxiety here, let them
compare il with those people of prom
inence on the other side who have re-
fused TO indorse their party and support
its candidates. and they may well be re-
assured. The trend is very much to the
side of ''sound money
There are people who complain that
the republicans do not yield enough TO
the democrats in this ''sound money
contest; they would have the republic
ans concede something of their views on
subordinate issues to the democrats
who are disposed to aid them in elect
ing their ticket. The republicans have
acted in this way to the extent OF dimin-
fishing their party manifestations in
their press and their public speeches.
We are inclined TO think that those who
expect of them that they shall go furth-
er to relax their party organization ask
too much. 1t is to be remembered In
the outset that it is the republicans who
arc right on this currency question,
while the democrats are wrong. Sure
", under these conditions, the parties
are not on equal terms, which would
be the natural preliminary to equal con-
cessions. Neither are the republicans

If the country. at least; the other is dis
trusted and divided. The republicans
were the greatly preponderant party
in the outset. If the democrats have
lost some of their natural advantages
through their divisions, ii gives them nc
equitable claim upon the republicans
for a sacrifice of advantages which that
party still holds. The party that has
kept the faith should have the benefit

Too much soft or cooked food is not

HINTS FOR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house
keepers generally in having washing
dcne at home causes many who can i'll
afford the expense to send their clothes
to laundries. where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while If proper attention is given the
work it may be done quite as satisfac-
torily in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immense the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in a tub. pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool. wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water. wiring,
starch and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
in the same way. without scalding.
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line. sprinkied. folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket. The
ironing must be done with hot. clean
irons. and the clothes hung up TO air.

BRYAN ON THE DECLINE.
Surface Indications of the Democrat
CandIdate,s speech of Accordance.

Surface Indications of the Democratic
Candidates speech of Acceptance.
Iu reviewing Mr.. Bryan's letter of ac-
ceptance some things are plainly OBJ
servable on the surface. The tone is very
much more subdued and calm than any
one had right to expect from his pre-
vious utterances and the manner in
which he was heralded. There is an alb
sence of that fiery inspiration and hyster-
zeal rhapsody which was expected, and
the whole speech betokens a very be-
Gained and subdued contemplation by
the speaker of the situation and the sub
feet with which he was dealing.
1t is quite manifest, also, that he felt
himself upon the defensive. The Chi
cago platform had declared substan-
italy against the best interests of the
country and for the overthrow of its es-
tablished institutions. The charge had
been made in every part of the country,
and he manifestly felt that he must apollo
gize and endeavor TO excuse himself for
standing as the advocate and represen-
tative of such platform.
From the standpoint of this platform
and the propositions III contains, MS
speech may be thought by some to be a
fair and ingenious defense; but it is q
defense. He declaims that the purpose
of the platform, or of the party, or of
himself, was or is intended to be "a men
ace TO private security and public
safety" or that they or he meditates
IAN attack upon the rights of property"
and are "the foes both of social order
and national honor" and after making
this disclaimer he proceeds by an argu-
ment alike sophistical and inconducive
to endeavor to show that he and his
party and his platform really intend
no harm. He is begging the question
all the way through some seven or eight
newspaper columns. = Philadelphia

ton of the nerves. The most notable
trouble was a swimming of the head, when
came in from walk or was out standing
in the sun or doing any kind OF exercise at
all. When / would sit down, my head
would swim and everything would dance
before my eyes. and l would become so
dizzy that would have TO hold 10 a chair 70

Roofs of Michigan White Cedar Resist
CLIMATIC RavaRes.


There are said to be Michigan white
cedar shingles now doing good service
on roofs In that state that have been in
full exposure and wear for over rs years
It il thus seen that climate Affects the
durability of shingles, and the fact that
white cedar is the natural product of
Michigan and red cedar of the Pacific
coast Is held to be proof that the rcd
cedar is naturally adapted for use on the
Pacific coast and the white for use In
such sections as the middle and north
western states, etc. A peculiar objec-
ton Is brought against the red cedar by
sone-na.,ely: that there exists in that
wood an acid which Is, in the climate
of certain sections, so acted upon by
water as to corrode rapidly the nails
with which the shingles are fastened
onto roofs, the rust extending TO the
wood around the nails, and soon causing
leaky roof-this action explaining the
holes SO often to be seen around the
nails in red cedar roofs. Another point
offered for consideration in this oonnec-
ton is the fact, as stated, that shingle
Is ruined by kiln drying, and that no
