"THEY CAN'T PUT YOU IN JAIL

defend a man who had been COM

The goid-standard contractionists
are publishing volumes in which
they constantly declare that the
suspension of silver coinage, which
cut off half of the supply of stand

produced either falling prices or
hard times. They say that the
gold standard is a good thing, and
that therefore hard times cannot
come from the gold standard.
The silver men reply that hard
times are here and that every body
knows it, and that the great mass
of the people are growing poorer
and poorer every day, while few
gold manipulators are getting all
they produce. 1t is not worth
while for the goldites to say that
these are not bad times, because if
they do everybody knows they are
either liars or idiots.

that something else has produced

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES.

The hints and suggestions given herewith
are expressed with rather more confidence
than we should generally use in regard to
the efficiency of such remedies. They are,
however, very simple, and for emergencies
can do no harm.
Salt and water used as a garge for sore
throat, is equal to chlorate of potash, and
is en'irely safe. 1t may be used as often
as desired, and if little is swallowed each
time it will have beneficial effect on the
throat by cleansing it and allaying the irr-
tation. In doses of one to four teaspoon
fuls in half pint to pint of tepid water
it acts promptly as an emetic, and in cases
of poisoning is always on hand 1t is an
excellent remedy for bites and stings of
insects. 1t is good astringent in hemorrh.
ages, particularly for bleeding after the
extraction of teeth.
Mustard is another valuable remedy. No
family should be without it. Two or three
teaspoonfulS of ground mustard stirred into
half pint Of water acts very promptly as
an emetic, and is milder and easier to take
than salt and water Equal parts of ground
mustard and flour or meal made into a
paste with warm water and spread on a
thin piece of muslin, with another piece of
muslin laid over it, forms an indispensable
mustard plaster Ii is almost specific
for collie when applied for few minutes
over the pit of the stomach" For all
international pains and congestions there is
no remedy OF such general utility. 1t acts
as counter-irritant by drawing the blood
to the surface; hence, in severe cases of
Group small mustard plaster should be
applied to the back of the child's neck.
The same treatment will relieve almost any
case of headache. A mustard plaster should
be moved about over the spot to be acted
upon, for if left in one place it is liable to
blister. A mustard plaster acts as we'll
when at distance from the affected part.
An excellent substitute for mustard plaster
is what is known as mustard leaves
They may be obtained dozen in box
and are about four by five inches, They
are perfectly dry, and will keep for a time.
For use it is only necessary to dip one in
a dish of water for minute, and then
apply it.
Common baking soda is the best of all
remedies in cases of scalds and burns. 1t
may be used on the surface of the burned
place either dry or wet. When applied
promptly the sense OF relief is magical. 1t
seems to withdraw the heat and with it the
pain, and the healing process soon COM
mences.

MUD FACE BATHS.

The latest fad of fashionable ladies in
search of beautiful compilations is mud
plain, dirty, sticky mud. The idea is by
no means new, but it is the first time that
society has accepted it as skin beautiter.
Swamp mud, or the mud from the bed of
stream, is the best. The skin should be
thoroughly cleansed and dried until it feels
warm and the perspiration has started.
Then apply the mud thickly, taking care
to keep it from the eyes.
1t is especially necessary that care be
taken to covev all portions of the skin alike,
as the smallest patch of uncovered skin is
likely to stand out with disagreeable plain
ness the next morning.
The feeling of the mud on the face is not
as unpleasant as one might at first suppose,
and its beneficial results are very great tits

A Few Simple Directions for the
Care of Carpets HOuSekeep-
ing intS--RecipeS.

In sweeping carpets use wet newspaper
wrung nearly dry and torn in pieces, or
fresh cut grass. These collect the dust and
do not soil the carpets. To brighten them
you can sprinkle with salt, or go over it
once week with a broom that has been
dipped in hot water, to which little
spirits of turpentine has been added.
Wiring cloth in hot water and wipe under
pieces of furniture too heavy to be moved
This is a precaution against moths. To
spoil carpet sweep it with a stiff, half
worn broom, but to save it dip your broom
in clean, hot suds once week, then shake
it out and hang it up. This will also make
the broom last twice as long as it otherwise
would.
A rag carpet may be made much cleaner
by sweeping it crosswise with the weave
Carpets should be thoroughly beaten on
the wrong side first, and then on the right
after which spots may be removed by the
use of oX-gall or ammonia and water, using
a sponge or flannel. After good cleaning
sprinkle with salt, fold and lay in a very
dry place then, when laid, strew with
slightly moistened bran before sweeping.
This, with the salt, will freshen carpets up
wonderfully.
Vinegar will remove lime spots.
SCOT from open chimneys or carelessly
handled stovepipes can be removed by
covering thickly with salt and this can
afterward be brushed up without injury to
the carpet.
Spirits of ammonia diluted with water,
il applied with a sponge or flannel to dis
colored spots will quite often restore the
color
Remove ink with milk, and after thor
oughly soaking up all that seems possible
either sprinkle thick with salt, or wash
with a fine soap, clean brush and warm
water
For grease spots use powdered magnesia,
Fuller's earth or buckwheat flour. Sprinkle
on the spot and let it lie until the grease
is absorbed; renew the earth, or other
absorbent material if ecessary.-Table

HOl SEHOLD HINTS.

For shampooing take five cents worth Of
powdered CASTLE soap, the same quantity
of boraX, add to them two tablespoonfuls
of alcohol, the beaten yolk of an egg and n
pint of hot water. Put this in bottle
and cork it tightly. When used, rub well
into the scalp and make good lather.
Carefully wash the hair III several waters,
having the water hot and the last one cool.
This will prevent taking cold if the hair is
dried thoroughly.
Plants that have been recently repotted,
palms especially. should not be brought at
once into living room, but kept where il
is cool, nor should they be watered so
plentifully as when they were in pot
bound condition.
A good method for raising the crushed
pile of velvet is to cover hot iron, held
upward, with wet cloth; lay the velvet
on this and then gently beat the crushed
part with clothes brush. Lay the velvet
out on flat place and do not touch it until
it is perfectly dry.
To make a paste for cleaning marble
mantels take equal parts OF OK gall, pow
dered soap and pipe clay, and add little
turpentine. Apply coating to the marble,
and when thoroughly dry rub it off and
wash with warm soft wator. This mixture
will cleanse without destroying the polish,
If the marble is badly stained second
application may be necessary.
Decanters and carafes that are stained
inside may be cleaned with a mixture Of
vinegar and salt, rock salt being hest fOi
the purpose. To handful OF salt add a
gill of vinegar; but both in the decantel

niture so much used now requires to be
treated differently from the ordinary
wooden furniture. As bamboo is liable tc
crack and come apart, it must be fed SO as
to counterfeit the ill effects OF dryness in
