BLACK DRESS GOODS.
Valuable Hints About the Best Method oi
 Cleaning Them.

Valuable Hints About the Best Method of
 Cleaning Them.
 Nearly everyone nowadays has or wants a black gown, and such goods as serge, cheviot, cashmere, Henrietta, etc., are easily cleaned. First remove the grease spots with naphtha, and re- member that this fluid is very explosive when exposed to either light or fire. Make father of warm soapsuds, using good, not strong, soap, and tea spoonful of borax to every two quarts of water. Into this dip the goods up and down and wash between the hands; then ring gently and pat partly dry; hang in the shade, and when nearly dry iron on the wrong side with moderate. ly warm iron. Always rinse once in lukewarm water, and iron until the fabric is perfectly dry. Never rub a fabric that is being renovated on the washboard, nor wiring it tightly, and in using naphtha remember that it roughens the hands, and that after using it it is we'll to put vaseline upon them and to wear old gloves. Wash al- paca in the same manner as cashmere, adding little gum arabic to the rins. ing water. If the black goods are of a rusty color restore them by sponging with ammonia and alcohol. Always use a piece of the same material or one near to it to sponge with.

THE CANDIDACY AND CARLISLE E
Unpopuiarity Of the Secretary with His

Unpopuiarity of the Secretary with His
 Own Party.
 Secretary Carlisle's friends say his letter does not take him out of the list of nomination possibilities. The letter said he thought his duty to his party would "be best performed by declining to participate in contest for the nom- ination." and it added that he would re- gard the indorscment of his course by his state in the national convention as a reward for what he has "been able to accomplish in behalf of honest ad ministration and of sound financial pol icy" All this means that while he will not enter into any scramble for the nomination he would be pleased to have his state give him a complimentary vote in the Chicago convention. His aomirers are justified in considering this q declaration that, in the cant os the day, he is "in the hands of his friends"
 In an important sense the nomina- ton of Secretary Carlisle would be an advantage to his party. The Courier

Remedy for Rheumatism.

The following receipt has been found specially effective in stubborn cases of rheumatism: One new egg we'll beat en, half pin of vinegar, one ounce. of spirits of turpentine, half an ounce of camphor. These ingredients must first be beaten together thoroughly, then
 put in bottle and shaken for ten min- utes, after which it should be corked tightly to keep out the air. In half an hour it will be ready for use. It should be applied three or four times n day, and for rheumatism in the head it should be rubbed on the back of the neck and behind the ears. It will keep for an indefinite time, and, in fact, is rather improved by age.

DRAINING STOCKINGS.
In Q Great Many Cases the Game's Not
 Worth the Candle.

Worth the Candle.
 There is sort of sentiment prevalent nmong gentlewomen against casting away wornout stockings that may be carried to a ridiculous extent. A great many women spend laborious hours alarming stockings that are only fit for the ragbag. The woman who wears undarned stockings is the popular idea Of a sloven. She may have rent in her dress and decide that the gown is past its usefulness and will not pay for mak- ing over, and no one will criticise her. But woe unto the unhappy girl who innocently decides that it is cheaper to buy new stockings than mend her old ones. All her friends are likely to write her down as an eXtravagant person. Although good stockings are worth no more than 35 cents Q pair, she is ex- pected to patiently darn and redarn them, until scarcely thread of the original substance is left on the feet.
 The prejudice against casting away wornout stockings dates back to those days when a stocking was an expensive aTtlClc. lU was IiOU uH LII lilt llulc Ol Elizabeth that knitted hosiery was known, and although about this time William Lee, delinquent Oxford stu dent, invented the stocking loom, stock ings did not become very cheap until an American applied power or steam to the loom. To-day stockings are so cheap that it does not pay anyone to spend hours wearing out eyesight and pa- tience alarming and redarning holes that gre pretty certain to appear again the next week. The first stitches that drop iE stockinet should be taken up and, if possible, woven back with the needle in regular stockinet stitch. When large bulls eyes, as children call the great holes that appear when the fabric is giving, show themselves, instead of spending patient hours in weaving them into firm shape, it is really cheaper to cut off the feet, hem the legs after rip ping them up and use tl..m for dust cloths. Unless your time is worth less than 75 cents a day it does not pay to darn large holes at the present price of stockings.-N. Y. Tribune.

As to Polished Finger Nails.

Polishing the finger nails until they resemble an advertisement for stove or silver polish is crime against good taste. It ranks with the wearing of diamond earrings to market and other barbarities. The nails need sufficient rubbing with the chamois brush after the hands have been washed to revive them from the dinginess imparted by water. But the rhinestone-like glow which was the pride of the well-mani- cured few years ago is considered atrocious now. The use of paste and of coloring matter to increase the lus- ter is utterly abolished.

How to Wash SILK Waists.

Wash silk waists do not always wash, we'll because of ignorance of the proper way of laundering them. Add tea spoonful of borax to some lukewarm water and enough nice white soap to make weak suds. Rub through the hands carefully; instead' of wringing draw the silk through the tightly clasped hand. If all the dirt has not been taken out, wash again; then rinse in several waters to which have been added a pinch of boraN or a half dozen drops of ammonia. Donot let the silk become quite dry before ironing; then use a moderately hot iron, as very hot one will scorch the silk.

BAD FOR TIE FARMERS.
The Wilson-Gorman Tnrin Fatal to Agri.
 cultural Interests.

cultural Interests.
 An examination of the treasury re. ports showing the imports and exports of ofvariousarticles indicates an enormous increase in importation of nearly all farm products since the repeal of the Mckinley law. On nearly every such article the new tariff reduced the rates of duty. On barley, for instance, the Mckinley tariff was 30 cents per bushel; the Wilson tariff named the rate at 30 per cent. ad valorem, which reduces the actual rate to about 15 cents per bushel, CT one-half the Mckinley rates. On corn the rate was reduced from 15 cents to 20 per cent. ad valorem, which is about eight cents a bushel at present prices. On wheat the reduction was from 25 cents Q bushel to 20 per cent. ad valorem, which amounts to about 12 cents per bushel. On eggs the rate was reduced from five cents to three cents per dozen; on hops from thirteen to eight cents; on faxseed from 30 cents to 20 cents; and on wool, where the rate was from II to l2 cents per pound in some and from 32 to 50 per cent. ad valorem in others, the entire duty was removed. In other words, rates of duty was reduced about one-half on all farm products, except wool, and on that the duty was entirely removed.
 It is not surprising then with rates on duty reduced one-half on most articles end entirely removed on others that the farmers are finding the importa. tions of their productions rapidly in- creasing. In many cases the increases have been something enormous. In the last fiscal year under the Mckinley law the importation of barley was but 79l,. GOO bushels, while in the first year under the Wilson law it was 1,325, 5,0OO bushels. The number of imported animals. in. cIuding horses, sheep and cattle, 1lore than doubled, the total in the last year of the Mckinley law being ,OoO, while in the first year of the Wilson law it was 573,OO0.

Why 1t Is Dishonorable to Break Faitl

Why 1t Is DishonoroDl0 10 nrobh rSAsD
 with Boys and Girls.
 Parents and others constantly make promises to little children which they have not the slightest intention of ful- filling. It is a promise for this and promise for that, and the only excuse for neglecting to keep it (as is usually the easel is that promises are soon and easily forgotten by children. What lessons for mothers and fathers to instill into young minds! How many times day are not some children threatened with punishment for the repetition of some mischief or offense, which is never carried out? The little ones become so accustomed to such threats that they arouse neither fear nor respect. Promises and threats should never be made unless one is prepared to fulfill them.
 Promises are often required of little children when they neither know nor understand what sacred engagements they are. Unless the parent respects his promises, how are the children to estimate the value or worth of them? Is it right that children should be com. pelled to give promises with never a thought of the burden of responsibility, or with but faint idea of what loyalty or disloyalty to the obligation may i'm. ply? Be honest with the children. If you promise, if you threaten, see that both are fulfilled. It will teach the children to respect their own word when given, and act as a moral bracer

law the importations of hay amounted to s6,OOO tons,, while in the first year of the Wilson law they amounted to 27s,- 900 tons. The importations of flax in the last year of the Mckinley law was 4,0OO tons, in the first year of the Wilson law 5000 tons. Of hemp, the importa- tions in the last year of the Mckinley law were less than 2,OOO tons, while in the first year of the Wilson law they were over 10000 tons.
 The following table will show in de- tail the quantities of farm products inn ported in the first year of the Wilson law compared with the last fiscal year of the Mckinley law. These two annual periods are selected because they are the ones most readily touching the dates it which the new law went into effect. The governments official statements are made up either by fiscal years end ing June 30, or calendar years ending December 31. As the new law went into effect August 2s, the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, and the calendar year be- ginning January l, 1895, are the annual periods most nearly touching>the date of the change from Mckinley tariff to the Wilson-Gormant tariff. Itis interest ing, therefore, to compare the importa- ton of farm products during tbese two periods. In few cases where the fig ures cannot be obtained by pounds, bushels or tons, the values are given.
 The following table shows the impor. tations of farm products under the Me- Kinley law in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, compared with the inn portations under the Wilson bill in the calendar year beginning January 1, 1895:
