Two years ago West Virginia broke
the solid south ron the straight tariff
Issue. Now West Virginia holds what
she gained then. and holds 1t on the
tariff issue and the money Issue.
The majority for sound money and
sound tariff Is large'for state Of Tcsr
vlrsinia's population. It establishes
beyond controversy tho fact that as
parties now divide West Virginia IS
gone from the Democratic party and
gone beyond recovery.
The majority OF the landslide year Is
maintained in 1896. This IS certainly all
that could be asked. II is 4 little more
than the Intelligenccr expected. Ten
thousand was the 1ntellisenccrs con-
sentative estimate based on pretty
thorough knowledge OF the situation.
The fight IN West Virginia has been
won by organization and discussion.
The state committee excelIed itself un-
der the lead of It's capable chairman.
There has never before been such
speaking campaign in the state FOR
the number OF Republican speakers
and the clearness with which the issues
were presented.
The aim was to go everywhere with
the naked truth put so plainly that the
least Intelligent could understand 1t.
We had business talks instead OF ora
lions. and the business talks won the

To Make = Good Gun Of Tea.

A young man who was being Joked
about the appearance of the young lady
he was going 10 marry said in an apollo
getic way, We'll. she can make good
cup of tea anyhow. " This is qualitica-
tion that not many girls possess. Very
few know how 10 make good cup OF
tea. Here are some pointers: Tea should
never touch metal 1t should be kept in
paper, wood, glass or porcelain. To
make it, put a small quantity in q
porcelain cup, fill the latter with boil
ing water, cover is with a porcelain
saucer and let it stand three minutes
Then, if you desire to be an epicure,
drink only tho upper layer of the gold
Ell liquid, throw the rest away, rinse
the cup and begin again. Never use sug-
ar. Do not use milk 1t ruins the flavor
Of the tea, and the combination Injuries
the stomach, so the Chinese say. and
they ought 70 know their own beverage.
Above all things, do not boil the tea.

Not the Place For the Scum,

A famous French prima donna when
acting delights III a big basin Of soup,
smoking hot and we'll favored with
grated cheese. On one occasion she was
engaged for a few nights at Marseilles,
and her first thought on arriving there
was to inquire where she could order her
favOrite dish. She was recommended &C
patronize a humble restaurant Just by
the theater, and going there gave her
order IN person.
AT o'clock, as arranged, mine host
called his serving maid, and placing a
gigantic tureen in her hands told her to
take it TO Nine. c. on the stage He
added that orders had been given TO let
her pass with her bowl, and on the
girl ; assurance that she would recognize
the cantatrice sent her off with the soup.
Everybody gave way before the servant

when suddenly between the wings she
caught sight of the prima donna, who
Was singing the finale of the first act Of
Lucia. "
Ravenswood and his betrothed were
just about TO begin the passionate scene
which brings down the curtain when the
maid entered and placed the tureen on
