Household Hints.

Hard sosp is better than grease to
quiet Cresking doors or to make unwill-
ing bureau drawers submissive.
When sheets have become worn in the
middle they may be given new lease Of
existence by sewing the outside selvedges
together. This will bring the outside to
the middle, whore it will get the most
wear, and the thin portions will be on
the outside.
Fresh water drawn for the purpose
and heated to the boiling point is much
better for the cooking Of vegetables and
cereals-that is, gives cooked foods q
better favor--than water which has
boiled and steamed q long time. The
unfavorable effect of using such water
for tea and coffee is well known.
There should be plenty Of stout drill
ing and other bags in the house. They
are so useful, large and small, for such
a variety Of purposes, and they help to
keep the rooms tidy by holding articles
that might otherwise be scattered here
and there. Itsystematizes things wonder
fully to keep each article in the closets
in it's own particular place and bag.
Windows and mirrors may be easily
cleaned as follows: Tie up some finely
powdered whiting in q small piece Of
muslin, dab it over the glass thoroughly;
the dirtier the glass the more whiting
will adhere to it. Next smear the whit
ing evenly with a damp cloth and let
1t remain until perfectly dry, then rub
off with soft leather or chRmois. The
white powder should be thoroughly
cleaned from the corners. II alcohol is
used instead of water the polish will be
finer.
A tested recipe for horehound candies
consists of pound Of dried horehound
leaves boiled in one quart Of water,
cooled, and then boiled again for five
minutes. After that strain off the liquid
through cloth, put 1t back on the fire
and lot it simmer until the quantity is
reduced to or 5 ounces. Add an ounce
of gum arabic, and when dissolved
enough fine sugar to make a dough or
paste, as for lozenges. Roll out and cut
10 perfectly small pieces with q perfectly
clean thimble or a little cutter such as
is used by confectioners.
Quail are delicious cooked in the
covered stone jars that are to be found
at most housekeeping stores, as all the
juices and flavor Of the bird are kept
confined, Lay two thin slices of bacon
on the bottom Of the jar, put in the
quail and lay over it thin slices Of carrot,
turnip, a very little onion and slice or
two Of celery. Add a cup of water,
scatter with salt and pepper, keep closely
covered and simmer until tender. Serve
on hot buttered toast trimmed away so
thatit is the exact size of the quail.
Pour off the liquid in the dish and make
it into rich brown sauce to serve with
the quail.

Assemble In Convention at Trenton--
They're Gold Standard Men.
TRENTON, N. j., May I'll Early morn.
ing trains brought democratic leaders,
delegates and convention followers
from all parts of the state, and the
small crowd Of last evening grew to
one of respectable proportions long
before the opening Of the convention
for namiug delegates TO the Chicago
convention.
The convention was called to order
at noon. Speaker James J. Bergen, Of
Somerset county, the temporary chair
man, made the opening address In
which he asked that the convention
declare in favor of honest money, with
gold-not coin--the standard. lie de.
clared the present tariff laws were
substantially right and greatly supe-
rior to any that might be expected
from the apostle of high protection.
The convention decided upon Assem-
blyma n John W. Queen for permanent
chairman. The delegates at large, as
finally agreed upon. are to be. United
States Senator Smith, Allen McDer-
mott, United States Senator Rufus
Blodgett and Albert L. Tallman, the
latter OF Gloucester county.
The platform declares, among other
things:
We are In favor of a firm, unvarying
maintenance OF the present gold stand
hrd.
We are opposed to the free coinage
Of silver at any ratio and to the COM
pulsory purchase of silver bullion by
the government.
We believe that the interests OF the
people demand that the earnings OF
trade, agriculture, manufacture and
commerce, and especially the wages OF
labor, should be paid in money OF the
greatest intrinsic value, and OF the
highest standard adopted by the civil
lied nations OF the world. We are
therefore. unalterably opposed to de
vices and schemes for the debasemen
of our currency.
