Lilo uOr on the Railroads.

The railroads have given the original pack
age dealers a black eye. They refuse to ship
unlocked or uncrated bottles Of liquor. and 1t
seems that the liquor element OF this State

will not nave such an easy victory. The

Three cheers for the railroads that obey the

Household Hints,

The damp season has brought delight
to the lovers of mushrooms. They are
of particularly delicious flavor and ex-
tremely plenty which makes them very
reasonable in price.
When jellies and jams are kept where
there is danger of their collecting damp
nees and mold it is well to cover them
with thin layer of melted parafine; it
is easily removed when the jelly is
wanted, and can be retained and used
again by remelting.
Queen Victoria's jubilee great-grand
daughter, the little Princess Of York, has
received her name. The cake for the
christening weighed seventy pounds,
and was thirty.six inches in height.
Upon the top was a large lily, in the GEN.
ter of which reposed the figure of an in
FAINT; above the lily was canopy of
lace, held in place by cupids. The dec
orations around the cake were of lilies
of the valley.
Among fruits prepared for the winter
supply the huckleberry is one of the
most useful for pies and buildings.
This fruit is still plenty and in excel
lent condition for putting up. The
simplest and incest way of preserving
it is in hot water. Wash and drain the
fruit and place it in jars, filling them
to the top; then pour boiling water
over the fruit, going over and adding
more water to the jars as the fruit set
ties, until they are filled to the brim.
Cover the jars, making them air tight,
and keep them in cool and dry but
dark place.
An old housekeeper says it is by far
the best plan to make ones own lemon
favoring for cakes and buildings. Be-
fore cutting lemon to extract the
juice, wash and wipe it with a soft
cloth; then CRATE off the delicate vel.
low skin, not taking any of the white
bitter part. Place the grated peel in
a wide-mouthed bottle and cover il
thickly with granulated sugar. Keep
the bottle tightly corked. The sugar
becomes saturated with the oil from the
peel and when used in place of extracts
gives a most delicious flavor.
Bread will become musty very quick
ly in damp, warm weather if it is KEEP
in close receptacle such as tin box
or stone jar with tightly fitting cover
During the summer months an excel
lent way to keep bread is to sprinkle
each loaf with flour and tie it up in {
a strong paper bag and suspend the
bag from hooks fastened to the edge Of
a high shelf in the kitchen pantry. A
loaf of bread may be quickly freshened
First brush off the -four and then rut
the outside of the loaf with soft cloti
wet in cold water and place it in a no
oven for five minutes.

The HOUSEHOLD.
Hints ON Canning.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. s.
T. Rorer writes on Canning and Pre-
serving" AT the outset Of her lesson
she emphasizes the value of securing
perfectly sound and fresh fruits, and
the necessity of getting the cans and
canning appurtenances in readiness in
advance. "To prevent breaking when
filing the jars" Mrs. Rorer advises
that they be slipped "sidewise into
kettle OF hot water, rolling them 80
that every part may be quickly and uni
formly heated. Fold a damp towel,
place it in the bottom of pudding pan,
then near the preserving kettle; stand
jar on the towel, and if the fruit is
small adjust the funnel; I'll quickly to
OVERLOOKING. Run heated silver knife
around the inside of the jar, to break
any air bubbles that may have been
caught with the fruit, and adjust the
rubber, then lift the lid from the hot
water and place it at once. If large
fruit fill with wooden spoon, arrsng-
ing the fruit 30 that the weight of one
piece will not destroy the shape of an
other. Fill to overlooking with the
liquid, water or strip, and fasten
tightly. After sealing stand the jars
out of draft over night. The glass
by that time will have contracted, and
the lids will, in consequence, be loose.
Wipe each jar carefully and give the
top an extra turn. Put away in cool,
not cold closet. At the end of the
week examine each jar carefully, with
out shaking or disturbing more than
necessary. If you find the lids slightly
indented, the contents free from air
bubbles or froth, and the liquid settled,
you may rest assured they will keep
If you do not find it so, open the jars to
prevent bursting. Reheat the fruit,
being careful to bring it to boiling
point, and re.can."

The fabrication Test.

Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what a
wonderfui extent fabrication is devel-
oped and what an extraordinary num-
her of turns the balance wheel makes
with one oiling. A Chestnut street
matchmaker, whose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of COM
parisOn TO show the perfection of lubri-
cation in watch.
A watch will run on one oling from
a year TO year and half. Every
minute the balance wheel turns on it's
axis $50 times ard $1,000 times in an
hour. Accepting year as the time an
ordinary watch will run with one oil
ing, he finds that if the driver of To-
connective was as well oiled as balance
wheel of watch it ought to run sixty
miles an hour day and night for 64s
days, or well on to two years, with one
oiling. In til at time it would traverse
"a distance equal to nearly forty times
the circumference of the earth.
In view Of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with.
out reoiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art tC
far greater degree than the locomo
tive builder has yet been able to reach

THAT President Mckinley is in IA
vor of General Tracy, the only regular
Republican candidate for Mayor of
New York City, is now known TO all
the world Secretary Bliss had the
support of President Mckinley when
he wrote that strong letter endorsing
General Tracy and asking every Repub-
lican to vote for him, as he has the
support of the president in going to
New York for the purpose of register
ing and of ascertaining in what manner
he can best help General Tracy and
the regular Republican ticket, and he
will have that support in what he may
do in the campaign. President Nc
KinleY does not intend TO write pei
sonal letter for use in New York, any
more than one for use in Ohio not be-
cause of any lack of sympathy with the
Republicans engaged in the campaign
in both places, but because he doesn't
think that the President of the United
States should personally engage in a
political campaign, but he is going to
Ohio to cast his vote for the Republican
ticket, and it is no secret that he will
think more of every republican voter
in any state who follows his example.
There is nothing surprising in all this;
1t would have been surprising to those
who know the man, had President
Mckinley indicated any intention of
acting otherwise.

THERE was no surprise at the publ
cation Of the tender of Justice Fields
resignation from the United States Su-
preme Court, and of President McKin-
ley's acceptance thereof, to take effect
December l, 1897 The fact is generally
known that Justice Field would have
retired during the last administration
he has been eligible for retirement
under the age limit nearly eleven years
but for his disinclination TO give Mr..
Cleveland an opportunity to appoint
his successor, and he announced last
year to his friends his intention to re-
tire early in the present administra-
ton. His health is quite feeble at this
time. There seems to be but little
doubt that Attorney, General McKenna
will be named for the vacancy as soon
as Congress meets.

NOTHING but commentator has
been heard OF President McKinley's
selection of Hon. John A. Kasson, of
Iowa, to be Special Commissioner of
the United States, with plenary powers
to negotiate reciprocity treaties with
other governments, in accordance with
the provisions of the Dingley tariff act.
Mr.. Kasson served in Congress for
many years, where, as member of the
House of Ways and Means Committee,
he acquired valuable experience, and
his diplomatic career has been brilliant
and enviable. He was first Minister to
Austria, then Minister to Germany and
later United States Commissioner to
the Berlin conference, which arranged
the present government of Samoa. The
country may rest assured that Mr.. Kas-
son will see that its interests are prop
erly taken care of in any reciprocity
treaty he negotiates. Negotiations
with France have been under way
sometime, and that Icountry is likely to
have the honor of the first reciprocity
treaty under the Dingley law. Austria
and Germany have given notice OF
their intentions to open negotiations
for similar treaty.

SENATOR GoRMAN's latest bluff, Of
fering to withdraw as candidate for
reelection and to give up the leader
ship of the Maryland Democrats, if the
publisher of the Baltimore Sun would
agree to take the leadership and stop
fighting the German machine, is so
transparent that it has furnished moth
ing but amusement for the Republi-
cans. German knows that the next
Maryland legislature is almost bound
to be Republican, and he is anxious to
unload the responsibility for defeat on
somebody, and he preferred Mr.. Abel
of the Sun, who has for years been his
most influential enemy inside the Dem
ocratic party to anybody else. Mr..
Abel has been fighting Gormanism too
long to be caught by such scheme; he
knows as well as German does that
Democratic defeat is we'll nigh certain
and he wishes his paper to share in the
credit for bringing about that defeat
this year, just as it did in the carrying
of the State for Mckinley and Hobart
last year. Mr.. German has been cred
tied with much political shire Wdness
but he will have to get up better
scheme or many will think that he has
been much overrated in the past.
