 Few Examples.
 One pint of fine salt mixed with two pints of wood ashes and mixed with water will mend cracks in stoves. When -clinkers accumulate in the grate, throw In handful of salt, let stand few min- utes and they will be easily removed.
 A teaspoonful added to the water in which cut flowers are placed will pre- serve them for considerable time, and little rubbed on the griddles be- fore greasing will prevent cakes from sticking. Damp salt will remove the discoloration caused by tea on cups and saucers; if sprinkled immediately over any spot whcr. something has boiled over on the stove, there will be no odor, and the spot will be easily cleaned. A tablespoonful put in a kero- sene lamp will make the oil give a brighter light, and T small pinch added to the starch will prevent it sticking to the irons. If your ingrain carpet looks 6ingy sprinkle little salt over it and let it lie for at least five minutes, then swcep it thoroughly, and you will be surprised to see how much brighter it wiil look.
 Que of the best things for cleaning brass is salt dissolved in vinegar. Cot ton fabrics are less likely to fade if allowed to lie for short time in 8 strong solution of salt and water.
 Sprinkle damp salt around where there are moths and they will speedily take their departure.
 If small pinch is added to the whites of eggs they will froth quickly.
 Small doses given at short intervals will stop hemorrhage of the lungs; for etings or bites of any kind of insects apply it damp and bind tightly; for neuralgia or severe pains in the stom- ach, fill muslin bag, heat it and lay 1t against the aching place.
 If the throat is very sore, wiring cloth out of cold sal. water and bind around the neck, covering with dry towel; a weak solution gargled will also help the throat. A sponge bath in salt water will arrest night sweats, and If used cold is one of the best so- lutions for restoring frmness of the flesh; bathe the face upward and ther wipe dry. One-half teaspoonful dis solved in little water will almost i'm -stantly relieve dyspepsia, or cure coiic fin a grown person.
 Two teaspoonfuls in about a half,pint of tepid water will act as an emetic, or If snuffed up the nostrils will relieve a cold in the head or catarrh.
 Salt should be eaten with nuts to aid digestion.-Home Queen.

BETTER TIMES COMING.
4 Republican Administration Will Bring
 National Prosperity.

4 Republican Administration Win Bring National Prosperity.
 ] If change in the government at Wash ington is not soon effected, the public debt will be increased as though the country was in state of war.
 Gold is again flowing Europeward, and intimations come from Washington that unless action is again taken by congress the gold reserve will be below the $100, 100000 in a short time. While the Notifications appropriation bill was under discussion in the senate the other day, MT. German, the democratic lead 1 CT, offered an amendment authorizing the secretary of the treasury, with the approval of the president, in order to provide money necessary for the ex- ecution of that and other appropriation | bills, to issue three per cent. certificates | of indebtedness to the amount of $100,- O00,0OO redeemable at the pleasure O. the United States after three years. MT. Mills objected to this proposition, contending that the only legitimate i measure to supply revenue was taxa tion. Congress was still in session, ana it's duty was plainly before it. That is undeniable. A serious condi- ton confronts the peoples representa- tives. It is one whose gravity will not be diminished by criticism of the tariff I for deficit, or by any inveighing against i democratic shortcomings. The impera- tive need of the hour is the adoption oi a policy which will supply sufficient money to enable the government t1 meet its obligations. It would be lam entable if the adoption of such a pol. icy were physical impossibility, but there is sound reason for believing this is not the case. In times of greater financial depression than the present, and with the additional burden of an enormous war debt, the United States government was able not only to meet all current debt, but steadily to reduce the volume of direct and internal taxa: tion.
 What was done at that time can be done again, and without resort to sucl, clumsy, unscentific devices, as that proposed in the senate the other day by the democratic leader.
 It is fortunate for the country that the time is close at hand when change in the national government will be effect cd. If we had to endure two years more of democratic rule the condition of the country might become pitiable. This consideration furnishes strong argu- ment against iengthening the presider- tial term and limiting the incumbent to one term. Suppose we had to bear two years more of MT. Cleveland? What terrible fate! How forbidding the pros pect!
 But we shall at least escape that ca lamity, and if the ma ajority of the people are wise, the nations sails will be so trimmed that after March 4, 1897, we shall have sailed into peaceful and un. troubled waters. Journal.

instead of rising, rolled over on the floor, from which she was assisted to
 rise by the lord chamberlain.
 A similar accident happened to an. other very stout lady, but she always declared that she would have been all right but that as she rose she distinctly felt tug at her train, just as if som, enc had trodden on it, and she was sure that Lady X., who came after her, ha done it on purpose, in order to gratify little private vengeance by causing | poor Lady '. to make an exhibition of herself before her sovereign.
 In consequence of these accidents one of the lord chamberlain's subordinates. selected for his strength, is now chosen 10 stand facing the queen, so that he is just behind each lady as she courtesies. It is his business to catch any lady who may overbalance herself. and to aver: any similar catastrophies.
 The most startling incident that has occurred at drawing-room of late years was the queens refusal to receive certain lady just at the moment when she was advancing in full court array to kiss her majesty's hand. The queen knew of her private reputation, and so, though the lord chamberlain pro. tested that, having been passed by the office and by the queen herself at the scrutiny of candidates for presentation, the lady was entitled to be presented, her majesty persisted that she had not understood before. but now that she did understand. that particularly lady should not pass her. Twill not receive Mrs. -" said the queen, in her most peremptory tone. And in the end Mrs. - had to turn back and leave the palace unpresented.
 On one occasion some excitment was caused by the appearance of black poodle in the corridors. He was cut and curled in the most approved fash. ion. and the ladies would have been delighted with him at any other time, but on this occasion they were all in mortal fear that he would spoil their dresses. He made his way gradually toward the throne room, and was just trotting gayly into the presence of his sovereign when, luckily, one of the off cials of the entrance saw him, and with a we'll directed kick headed him back into the ante-room. He retired with a yelp which was audible to all the draw ing-room, including the queen, who looked toward the sound. Then he disappeared just as he had come, with. out anyone seeing how he got in and out of the palace.
 Many ludicrous and undignified acci- dents have occurred at drawing-rooms. One lady of the highest rank, consid- erable age and equal vanity, as she bent over the queens hand had the misery ot feeling the golden wig which she was in the habit of wearing slip down over her eyes, completely bIinding her for 2 time.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Most Important Room,

The sitting-room can be made to do duty as parlor. The library as mu sic-room. A drapery-hidden corner of the second floor hall as a bathroom. A chamber with folding, turn-down sofa bed for sitting-room, sleeping room, smoking-roon, or reading-room. But kitchen, however metamor- phosed, will be, must be, and cannot be otherwise than kitchen still. These considerations mark out the kitchen, in the plan of household salvation. as the most important room in the do- 'Mestic economy of home making.-Good Housekeeping.

The Origin of Oxtail Soup.

During the reign of terror in Paris il 1793 many of the nobility were re. duced to Starvation and beggary. The abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the tanneries without removing the tails and in cleaning them the tails were thrown away. One of these noble beg gars asked for a tail and it was willingly given to him. He took it to his lodging ,nd made (what is now famous) the first dish of oxtail soup; he told others of his good luck, and they annoyed the tanners so much that price was put upon them,

THE ENGLISH AND M'KINlEY.
Why the Foreigners Do Not Favor the
 Great Protectionist.

| Why the Foreigners Do Not Favor the Great Protectionist.
 ,. The failure of Gov. McKinley's can- I vass to arouse any great popular en- thusiasm in England, while not uncx- pccted, is really not to be explained by any rational lines of reasoning. Judged
 by their own standards of the best
 statesmanship, Gov. Mckinley ought to be the recipient of the unstinted adula-
 tion of the English press. It is remea- bered that President Cleveland was ex- tolled by the British press because of his success in commanding popular support in the face of the hostility of the party bosses. By this same standard Gov. Mckinley ought to be the popular | English ideal of model statesman. Englishmen are just now felicitating themselves over the splendid financial showing made by the English govern ment during the past year. Their na- tional debt has been decreased and the budget for 1896 shows q surplus of $21,- 100000. This condition of things is pointed to with pride by Englishmen as an achievement of wise statesmanship results of a sound financial admins
 tration that indicate great national prosperity.
 Gov. Mckinley represents better than any other American statesman this sound English policy of having a sur plus instead of deficit
 Under the Mckinley law there was a surplus of revenues over expenditures of $37,230, ,7G2.57 on June 30, 1891; of S9,914, ,453.66 on June 30, 1892, and of $2,341, ,674.29 on June 30, 1893.
 The treasury report for May, 1896, just issued, shows 8 deficit for the month of $3,7s2,S75, making a total deficit of $26,0S1, ,s74 for the II months of the fiscal year. Whether compared with the customs receipts under the Wilson-Gorman law in it's first year or the Mckinley law in its first and second years, the showing is unfavorable to May, 1896. MT. Cleveland indited the Venezuelan message, with its menacing language, hostile to English claims and offensive to English pride. which was followed by a slump in all classes of American securities. And yet the Eng. fish idolize Mir. Cleveland as the best president Great Britain ever had, while they pretend to regard Gov. Mckinley, the enemy of deficits and the apostle of a surplus, as dangerous leader.
 Why should the man who stands for the English idea of a surplus instead of a deficit be regarded as dangerous leader?
 The reason the English distrust him is doubtless due to the fact that there was deficit in the English budget for 1892, while the Mckinley law was in force, and the surplus revenues of the United States under the same law in the same year amounted to $9,014,453.66.-t Chicago Times Herald.
 E]President Cleveland doubtless knows good deal about the Cuban sit- 1 uation, and something about the third. 1 term" business, but he refuses to tell even congress about it. Anxious New York democrats and mugwumps can easily see that he beats Mckinley i, his silence. Congress has the right to ask questions of the president and havo them answered. The enemies of McKin. ley have no such right-Chicago Intes Occan. /
