Misrepresentations Are Made Concernins Duty on Wool.
 The New York Herald cditorially as- scrts that the woolen manufacturers are sending protests from all directions because of the restoration of the small duty on wool. Chairman Dingley says that he has no knowledge of such pro- tests, and other members of the ways and means committee say the same thing. MT. Aldrich, the leading repub- lican member in charge of the tariff leg islation in the senate, says that he does not believe that there are five woolen manufacturers in the country of any importance who want free wool, and he does not believe that there are any in favor of the Wilson tariff wool sched- ule. The Herald's assertion is a speci- men of the free-trade methods of mis- representing anything the republicans do in the way of tariff legislation. Mir. Voorhees, and some of the other demo- cratic senators assert that, while they will oppose the house revenue bill, they will favor it's early consideration, and will not filibuster against it, on the ground that it is to the advantage of the business interests of the country that the question should be disposed of as soon as possible. If the democrats generally take that view of the case. the bill might get through the senate sooner than is now expected. But Mir. Mills and some of the southern free traders threaten to use every effort to delay and defeat the bill.-Chicago In- ter Ocean.

SOFA PILLOW.

square pieces of blue denim. The larger piece is 2s inches square; the other is IS inches square. The smaller piece is placed on the center of the larger, leav- ing, of course. a margin of five inches all around. It is stitched on securely along three sides, and few inches at each end of the fourth side, leaving an opening large enough to force an 18-inch-square pillow within.
 The margin is buttonhole-edged with long, coarse stitches in heavy white silk, and forms an effective border for the pillow, falling loosely, and with it's ir- regular scallops, somewhat like frill.
 The small square has design a stamped first, and then followed with fancy white braid, buttonhole-edged on with heavy white silk. It is finished about the edge with white cotton cord, tied at each corner in bow and tassels.
 The long dotted line in the illustra- tion shows the length of slit left open for the pillow to slip into its pretty case. - Gretchen Trievie, in Home Queen.

To Make Paper Lamp Shades.

If you know just how to go to work, a paper lamp shade is most easily made. The crimped paper comes in circular lengths expressly adapted to this use. Choose three well-assorted tints harmonizing with your furnish ings; place the lamp before you on a table, with its wire frame on, and slip the paper over, drawing it together at the top and leaving good heading. Tie it loosely around the wire with a string, in order to regulate the fitness before you tighten it. Put over the other two papers in the same way and then draw or bend the lowest paper under about two inches above the edge, pulling it out slightly; form the next into waves and draw the upper one into waves above, so that it will form van- dykes all around. A well-made paper flower of harmonizing tints nestled among the folds adds to the effect.

made of pink satin, and stuffed with bran or sawdust until it was tight and firm as if carved out of wood or ivory. Over this was cover of thin white lSwn or bolting-cloth, with few small rose buds embroidered in pink and light green. The cushion part, when stuffed, measured 7k, inches in length, and not quite three inches in width. The silk fril!, which was sewed around the edge, was pinked in sharp points, and was about 2R inches wide. The lace frill was the same width. and the small bows made of long, flat loops of daisy ribbon were placed about the edges, as shown in the drawing.
 Another of these cushions was made of blue satin, with forgat-me-nots on the white cover; and still another, which was made of yellow silk, had but tercups embroidered across the top. Some are made eisht-sided, like an elongated octagon, and we give an il- illustration of one made in this style.
 The pin tray to accompany these cushions should be Dresden china or delicate celluloid, and long and narrow in shape. There is always something new in burnt match receivers, but few are so satisfactory as the diminutive glass tumblers so long in use.

 The fad for denim seems to outlast all others, chiefly because it has proved so useful and durable. Whole rooms are furnished in denim-cushions, table, covers, portieres-are made of this ma terial, and it is even used on the floor in place of carpet. Now that it can be pro- cured in various colors, all sorts of pretty things are made of it.

We have beer married three years and we have the sweetest little baby boy in the world I never cause my wife any trouble When she is all tired and worn out just say: Come, now, old sweetheart go lie down, and let me finish this job. , We have n great number of little dresses for Wendell, and I know where they are kept and how to get at them
 My wife's father is well-to-do farm CT, and I like my wife's mother. never see any other woman who can walk little better than my wife, or who looks just little sweeter. wouldn't marry the best woman on earth unless I thought she filled the bill for perfection, from my stand point of judgment. thought my wife did, and she does. When she gets . bis cult turned over few times between her hands and puts it in the pan, know the biscuits are going to be ex. actly right. No doubt about it. We have no drip coffee pot, but she makes the blessedest drip coffee you ever saw, and has the commonest kind of an old tin coffee pot. She has a majestic bearing, too. Her feet set just exactly us a perfect woman's feet set. Her head could be carried no better if she tried for hundred years.
 When I want to find out if anything Is right or not, just get it before her mind and figure on her judgment. She hits it every time. Don't ask me how she does it. There is no spittoon around the house. I know where the peg for my hat is, and every time I take it off in the house hang it on this peg. My coat has peg, too, and there is where my coat is found when not on my back. There is no club on earth like my wife and Wendell. She is the outside guard and the inside guard. She is the light in the east, and the in- tellect in the west. She is my bright and morning star. She can smell q loose button hundred yards, and she has way of noticing the little specks on my coat lapel, as she used to before we were married. She loves me and Wendell. I don't find anybody that suits me half as we'll as she does, sweet and gentle from morning tO nipht When want to be cross, she won't let me. When I get cold-hearted and the last speck of brotherly love is oozing out of me, just one touch of her pres ence stops that disposition. All in all, my wife is o.

But the up-to-date cushion for the bureau is al- most small enough to be placed within my lady's work basket.

How to Clean Costly Furs.

Ermine and sealskin are best cleaned with soft flannel. Rub the fur deli. cately against the grain, and when it has been thoroughly lifted and re- versed dip the flannel into common flour and rub lightly any spots that look dark or dirty. Shake the flour well and rub with Q clean, dry flannel until the flour is all removed. Sable, chinchilla, squirrel and monkey skin may be very nicely cleaned with hot bran. Get small quantity of bran and heat it in the oven until it is quite warm. Rub stiffiy into the fur and leave for a few minutes before shaking tu fee it from the bran.

 DThe kind of treasury book-keep- ing that conceals deficits is practically the same that dishonest bank officials employ to hide their embezzlements.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 DThe republicans are as a unit of the opinion that relief to the govern ment can come only through an in- crease of the revenue. This is party consistency and must not be deviated from.-Albany Journal.
 DThe democratic statesmen insist that there is plenty of revenue, but they are contradicted by the treasury reports. and their persistence in such talk under such circumstances simply makes them ridiculous. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

 DInterviews with farmers and busi ness men in this vicinity relative to the emergency tariff bill are printed on another page.

How to Keep Them In Good Condition All the Year Around.
 At this season of the year it is almost impossible to keep the hands from chap ping and looking red when they are in water as frequently as it is necessary to have them. Below is given a most ex- cellent recipe for making laureline, which is simply and easily prepared at home and very inexpensive.
 Two ounces of glycerine, one ounce of alcohol, one-fourth ounce of gum tragacanth, one-fourth to one-half ounce of rose water or violet perfume, one pint of water; soak the tragacanth in the water two days, then strain and add the other ingredients. Cut the glycerine with the alcohol. If it should be too thick add little more water and alcohol. Bottle and it is ready for use.
 In very cold weather, if it is too thick to pour easily, heat it by setting over the register or in bowl of hot water.
 While most people admit there is nothing better for the scalp than thor ough brushing of the hair morning and night, many will not persist in this, and are continually asking what will make the hair come in when it is fast coming out. Many of the best hair dressers and barbers are recommending rubbing pure grease in very thoroughly every night or every other night. In several instances this has proved very effectual and new growth of short and strong fuzz all over the head has been the result.
 Many children and some of m older growth are severely troubled with dandruff in the scalp, which always makes the head and hair look dirty. This can be removed by rubbing pure grease in every other night and in the morning following wash thoroughly with tar soap.-Carrie May Ashton, in Chicago Record

 We now have the report of the im- portations of foreign merchandise to this country in the first ten months in which the Wilson tariff has been in operation. Comparison of figures with those representing the imports during the first ten months of last year, under the Mckinley tariff, we find the following totals: Imports for ten months. 1894. 1895.

 There is an increase here of $4,171,- 161. Is it any wonder, under such cir cumstances that American mills are idle or running on part time? When we arrange that foreigners shall have easy access to our markets for the very things we make in opr own mills, how can it be that we should meet their low labor cost with our high labor cost?
 The subject is worth pursuing fur ther, for these figures illustrate per fectly the destructive influence upon American industry of tariff for which the claim was made that it would pro mote the interest of our wealth pro- ducers.
