Household Hints.

A caution in washing all wood floors.
whether plain or treated. is never to allow
the water to run on the boards from a
too wet cloth or brush, even for brief
time. 1t will cause StreakS on painted
floors, and on the plain floors the mois-
ture loosens the fibre of the wood, pro-
every one can recall in the often doused
and scrubbed floor of the farm kitchen.
The wearing of wells has supposed here
tofore to be detrimental only SO far as
the eyesight Of the wearer Is concerned,
much wider scope of evil than this one
field. Not only premature blindness but
headache, vertigo. nausea, and various
other disorders follow in the wake of their
use. All wells are bad. but those with
black spots are the worst. and women
are earnestly urged to forego them.
To sugar cranberries put them in lat
ter till the berries snap. then remove and
cover with sugar, returning the pan to
the fire till the sugar melts. These are
nice to serve. with bananas. oranges. or
pineapples sliced. Candied cranberries,
which are an excellent substitute. for
candied cherries both in taste and effect.
are prepared by heating them to the
pink crystals formed by the sugaring pro-
cess just described. This sugar must be
finely powdered before the hot whole
are n dpRed il .t canded
figs. The pink sugar is also itself a use
full color effect. Canned peaches, pears
or white cherries served without juice on
a fiat dish sprinkled and surrounded by
the sugar present specially attractive
appearance.
There is certainly such thing as an
exaggeration of economy and a misplace
ment of effort, as in the case of the gen.
ius. who advises making court-plasters
at home out of tightly stretched black
silk and gum arabic, or the one who gives
us long formula for the compromising
of glue to mend china. An Investment
OF dime procures a supply of either
commodity that will last year. Such
thrift Is like that Of the woman who
bought Icents' worth of sugar of lead
to set the dye in some calicoes. She used
half and her economy would not permit
her to throw the rest away. Instead she
tucked it under the edge of carpet where
she thought it would be safe, and forgot
all about 1t. Later she left home on a
visit. She had been away only a day
when In thinking. as women will, of the
impossible things she could worry over,
she suddenly remembered the poison-and
at once found 1t a very good and rational
cause for anxiety. How easy for one of
the children to find it in one of those
poking moods which at any moment may
attack a child. 1t was at night that the
vexlng thought came. and she was Sleep
less till morning arrived, and with it the
opportunity to send warning despatch.
AS mere financial transaction 1t was
not profitable, for the despatch cost her
40 cents. There was the sleepless night
to reckon, too.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Blight Of "Free Woo"
(Boston Journal.)

Free wool has proven worse calam-
ity to the American sheep flock than a
wasting pestilence.
Secretary Morton's figures are pre-
sumably not colored to sustain the
contention of the protectionists, but
they do it with large emphasis and
vivid exactitude. The official statistics
of the department Of agriculture show
that there were on hand Jan. 1, 1897,
in the United States. total of $685.
G43 sheep, as compared with total of
Al, 279,553 on Jan. l, 1893, after two years
of the Mckinley tariff.
McKinleyism in that brief period
had increased the number of Ameri-
can sheep from a total of 44,336, 900.
1t had added almost three million head
to the American flock. German VIII
sonism has led more than ten million
head to the slaughter.
Is it any wonder that the voice of
the "free WOOL champion is dumb, and
that paralysis as of the grave has
fallen upon the tariff reform associa-
lions of New England? Their theories
have been fairly tried, and so utterly
discredited that this generation is not
likely to hear of their revival.
This ill-starred experiment has fallen
with particularly crushing force upon
the sheep flock of New England.
Maine and Vermont are our chief wool
growing states. Names flock has
shrunk from 39S.7O4 sheep in 1893, to
23O, 1864 in 1897; vermont,s from 329,612
to 157,945. In other words, about one
half of the flock of each state has van
ished.
The Boston Globe and Herald, in
their tariff editorials for dozen years,
have been assuring the farmers that
free wool would be great boon and
blessing to the wool growers and man.
ufacturers of New England. The Bos-
ton Journal,on the other hand. through
all these years. has insisted that free
wool was mistaken policy. sure to re-
suit in injury TO all concerned.
Which view was the right view
