Things worth RememberIng.


Cold tea is excellent for cleaning grain
ed wood.
Never put tea leaves on light colored
carpet, they will surely leave a stain.
If sponge cake is mixed with cold wa
ter it is yellow, but if the water be boil
ing hot the cake will be white.
New tins should be set over the fire
with boiling water in them for several
hours before food is put in them.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out
il the stain is first washed in strong salt
water, and lei it stand over night.
Do not salt beef before or While it is
cooking, as it draws out the juices, which,
in boiling especially, are thereby lost.
The juice of half lemon in a teacnp
of strong black coffee, without sugar. it
is said, will often cure sick headache.
Dampen your duster slightly before
wiping off woodwork and marble. Use
IA cloth as well as feather if you would
be thorough.
Onions should be soaked in salted
warm water, previous to cooking them,
10 partly remove any strong Odof they
may possess.
A small box filled with lime and plac-
ed on shelf in the pantry or closet will
absorb dampness and keep the air in the
closet dry and sweet.
When wiping up the floor before put
ting the carpet down, sprinkle it all
over with salt while it is damp, this will
greatly prevent moths.

senator Randa,l,s Reason

Senator Randall said there were three
reasons why he would vote for the bill
to give the Mayor of Baltimore city the
power to make city appointments with
out the consent of the City Council.
First. he had always been accustomed
TO accede to the wishes Of local repre-
sentatives, unless some principle was at
stake to prevent his doing so. Secondly,
he was civil service ref0rmer and be-
lieYed in the views expressed by bis par
tv in the platform and in the city plat
form and Dy Mayor Hooper in his speech
es during the campaign. Thirdly, the
alternative was presented TO the Senate
and the Legislature of taking the choice
Of the two evils. If the action of the
City Council stands there will be 80
heads in the city holding executive pow
er. Between that and having one exc
cutive head, there could be no question,
it would be deplorable state of affairs.
1t has been demonstrated that joint con-
vemtions of all legislative bodies are the
worse kind of means to make appoint
ments. because there are always bargains
and deals and the appointments are par
celled out as rewards of political service.

rhs Governor weather Bsund in virginia.

The Governor Weather Beund i'm Virginia
A telegram waa received here last
night from Governor Lowndes stating
that the party were weather-bOund, and
might be expected in Annapolis this
morning. The message came from
HeathsViIIe, Va, the county seat of
Northumberland county. The county
is Immediately south of the mouth of
the Potomac, and the party must have
put into some of the inlets, aud sent the
message inland to Heathsyile Later
another message came from Rei0sville,
Va, stating that if the wind abated the
Governor hoped to reach Annapolis to-
day. Reldsvills is in Accomac county,
on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. On
Saturday the Governor, with Senator
Talbot, Collector of Customs Frank Il.
Shaw and Collector of Internal Revenue
Murray Vandiver, sailed from Balti-
more for Old Point Comfort in the State
steamer Governor Thomas, Commander
Howard Where the parties were could
not lie ascertained, but why they were
where they were was readily understood
by anyone who glanced toward the bay
from the windows of the executive cham
Der. The high northwest wind had blown
the water to a much lower point than
usual, several vessels rested on their bot
toms and the bare shore all day, and be-
came dry at their higher points. 1t waa
deemed almost impossible for the little
steamer to make headway against such
weather, and the natural conclusion was
that the party were in harbor somewhere
down the bay.

Perils Of a Joke In Germany.

This story illustrates the perils of
practical joking in Germany: Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen of leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir-
mess in Rullay. They rode about with
a cabby and drank wine until they were
overtaken by the conditions Of mind
and body which accompany these per-
formances at German festivals. Then
they began to dispute with the cabmar
as to the weight of his horse and cab
Eventually they offered him so, pfen-
nigs-or about IL cents-a pound for the
whole equipage. He accepted the o#er
The horse and cab went on the. scales
and registered 5000 pounds Thewhole
outfit was worth about $751; So the cab
man fastened to surrender it and de-
mand his 10 cents pound. or $500 in
all. The four gentlemen of leisure then
protested that it. was all mistake, a
joke, in fact, and they couldn't think of
paying $500 for $75 equipage. They
went away, but. the cabman sent horse
and cab. after. them by express C. O. D.
When the four. gentlemen of leisure
refused TO follow the pract1cal part OF
the joke farther. the cabman sued them
He carried on the case from court to
court, in response to their appeals FROM
each successive decision in his favor, an
two weeks ago obtained the final jNa o
ment in his favor from the high ccsy @
justice in Coblenz. The costs me.ay inn

soma Are Fitted For Life, and Others are
United by College Training.
Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst, D. D., in
his paper to young men in The Ladies
Home journal, discusses 'sShall We Send
Our Boy to College?" answering the
query with the assertion, ''That depends
a great deal on the boy" He announces
himself to be thorough believer IN the
college, but holds that sit might not be
best for him (our boy) to go to college; ;
it might not be best for the community
that he should. College can fit a man
for life, and also it can unfit HIM
There are styles Of education that dis
qualify the student for doing what ne Is
competent to do, without qualifying
him to do that which he might like TO
do. but for which he lacks and always
will lack the prerequisites. AS general
principle, the more man knows the
better, but SO long as the present order
of things continues great arcount of
very ordinary work VIII require to be
done, and culinary people will do ordi-
nary work better than extraordinary
people will and be great deal more
comfortable while doing it. Hordes Of
both sexes are entering college for the
reason that they do not enjoy doing
commonplace things. The result is that
commonplace things are left undone,
and uncommonplace things fare still
worse. Agriculture is the material basis
of nations strength and prosperity.
We could dispense with either lawyers,
doctors or ministers better than we
could with farmers.
Probably we should not quarrel so
much if there were fewer students of the
law, should not be sick so much if there
were fewer students Of medicine, and
should not be SO wicked if there were
fewer students Of theology. All of these
could contribute literally to the ranks
of the agriculturalists with advantage
to the professions and to the grain and
vegetable markets. am not disparag
ing anybody, neither am saying that
it would not be good thing, in itself
considered, if every one, however ma
terial or mental his occupation, could
receive all that the finest school or col
lege training could confer, but that is
not practicable at present and never will
be till people get over thinking that
there is disgrace attaching to the do

Numbering Thread.

The, questioss, Why is spool cotton
numbered as it IS; and why are figures

asked. Ihs explanation is this: The
numbers Oh the spool express the mum
her Of hanks which are required to
wilma a pound. The very finest spinning
rarely exceeds 800 hanks to the pound,
while in the very coarsest there is about
d half pound in each hank. The more
cosnE.on qualities, however, those from
which sewing thread is usually made
run from 10 to so hanks to the pound
and the spools on which it is wound are
numbered 10 to so i'll accofdanee.
