Before the election the democratic
managers and press. including the
Boomerang, were loud in their asser,
tons that the labor vote was being
coerced, and that when the laburer
should receive his ballot and have a
chance to record his verdict it would
be in favor of Organism. Now thai
the verdict has been rendered and the
decision is against them, their cry is
that the freemen of America did not
have the courage of their convictions.
but voted as directed. This assump-
ton on the part of the popocrats is an
insult to every workingman who voted
the Mckinley ticket. The decision
rendered is the honest verdict of the
American people after a careful inves-
tigation of the leading issues.

To prevent buff and gray linens from
fading or growing streaky in the pro-
cess of laundering, add tablespoonful
of black pepper to the first water in
which they are washed. To keep pinks
and blues from growing dingy, add a
tablespoon of salt to the first wash
ing water.
Thick, solid, twisted silk or worsted
cords threaten to dislodge velveteen and
smooth braids for skirt bindings. They
are intended to be sewed to the edge of
the skirt and have the advantage of be-
ing an ornament as well as protection.
1t is quite possible to make ice cream
and very good ice cream-without
freezer. Up to a certain point-up to
the point of filling a can with the mix
ture-proceed as you would for zee
ere am. Then pack an ordinary pail
with ice and place the can-any ordi-
nary can-well down in it. From time
to time give the can turn, and at the
end of six hours you will have ice cream
as cold and as well frozen as if set in q
freezer, only, perhaps, not quite as
smooth.
A small, fiat paint brush, about one
inch in width, is a kitchen convenience
that no housewife should be without.
For the greasing of all cans it is both
heater and more effectual than the
usual bit of paper. Also, if all meats
were brushed over with sweet oil and
vinegar before sending to the refrig-
orator they would retain their juices
and flavor far more perfectly than is
commonly the case.
Feather beds and mattresses should
be banished from the home of the hy-
gienic woman. Hair mattresses, if
they are hard and dirty, can be made
fresh by ripping the ticking, remov-
ing the hair, washing the ticking, pick
ing the hair and putting it in a dry,
airy place for several days. When the
ticking is dry, it should be filled light
ly with the hair and tackled together
again. The woodwork of each bed
should be scrubbed, washed and dried
in the sunlight.-N. Y. journal.

Tho Wheel in Boerland.

Three years ago the first bicycle made
it's appearance in smull town in the
Transvaal. The wheclman passed
through at night, and the next day two
young Beers, early abroad in search of
stray cattle, saw the "spoor," or track,
of the wheel in the road. With the GU
riosity of their race, they followed the
track for some miles, being anxious to
"see the man who could trundle a
wheelbarrow so far without rest" After
an hours tracking one remarked, sage
": 1.-THE fellow must be thief; let
us tell the magistrate" Accordingly
the worthy Dutch magistrate was soon
on the scene, accompanied by score of
prmed Beers, and the whole party fol-
lowed the path taken by the cyclist.
Suddenly one farmer exclaimed: Look
here! If it was barrow, where is the
trach of the man that wheeled it?"
"My goodness" said the magistrate, 81
never thought of that. Let's see-yes,
here is the wheel, right enough, but
where is the footprint? 1t is-it must
be a ghost!" With that the whole party
turned and fled in alarm, and for a long
time that portion of the road was not
traversed by any of the Boers.-Goldep

STOCK cROss-ExAMiNATiON:

Lawyers Attempt to Fit q POpulOus Neigh
borhood Onto u Petit Larceny Case.
One of the lawyers practicing in the
general sessions courts has stock
cross-examination which he uses in
every case he is engaged in. lie was adj
mitted to the bar during the palmy days
of the Tweed regime, and his only
knowledge of anything legal is his stock
cross-examination AS his practice is
lnost in petty larceny cases, in which
the fees range from postage stamp
TO so cents, his clients do not suffer a
great deal. After the assistant district
attorney concludes the case for the
prosecution the Tweed lawyer makes a
brief opening, and then the court clerk
and prosecuting officer sink down in
their chairs while the stereotypcd cross
examination is going on.
He got it off one day last week in
case where a boy was accused of steal
ing basket of strawberries from a
grocery shop. 1t was a clear case, and
the lawyer would have done better if he
had advised his client to plead guilty
and claimed some consideration for
saving the court the time and expense
of trial. After policeman had testi-
fed that he caught the boy running
away with the Strawberries and had es-
capped the cross-examination the grocer
was called to the stand and testified
that he lost a box of strawberries and
chased a boy whom he saw running
away with them and who was eventual
ly caught by the policeman. He identi-
fled the defendant as the boy whom he
pursued. This is the stock cross-ex-
animation:

crowded street, with that dim light,
that you can identify this defendant as

with the berries?"

with an expression of disgust, as if the
grocer had testified to something ex-
traordinary.

ART IN AMERICA.
1t Is Based Largely on the Teachings o
the French.

There is, no doubt, deal of nonsense
talked and written about Americanism
in art. If we could get the real thing
it would certainly be very welcome, but
it cannot be produced to order, it will
have to come as the slow result of ma
tional growth. Not only is all the
teachings of our art schools, academies,
leagues and clubs conducted on the old
established lines borrowed from Eu-
rope, but the result of the teaching and
study, as shown in our annual exhibit
tons, differ only in degree, not in kind,
from what we see in Paris and Munich.
Of late years our painters have been
freely admitted to the honors of eX-
hfbition and reward in all the chief art
centers of Europe, notably in Paris;
but it is plain that these distinctions
are conferred on account of the sue
cess with which our artists have fol-
lowed the accepted methods and ideas
of the foreign schools. We are natu-
rally pleased when we hear that our
Americans-Sargent, Abbey, Cecilia
Beaux, Frank Millet, Mary Cassatt and
others have been treated by French
juries with honor equal to that accorded
to their own artists. The success of
these artists stimulates all their artist
countrymen to work for like success.
There is no reward that we at home can
offer them to compare with place on
the line at the Salon or with that crown
ing glory, the purchase of a picture by
the French government to be hung in
the Luxembourg gallery. From world
ly, from professional point of view
there can be no doubt of the value of
these honors, nor can it be denied that
they are bestowed for substantial
reasons; as painters these artists de-
serve the distinction they have gained
in the chief art centers of the world,
and from the only judges whose opinion
is final, as to technical excellence. But
proud as we may justly be of their sue
cess. it must be admitted that it has
been gained not as Americans, but as

tauquan.
