Points About Boiling.

Mrs. Ewing. in her "Art of Cook
cry" mentions some points about boil
ing that may not have suggested them
selves to all the housewives. When the
density of water is increased by the ad-
dition Of salt or sugar or some other
substances, it retains heat longer and
requires u higher temperature to make
it boil, but on mountains, or where the
pressure Of the atmosphere is lessened
by any cause, it boils at lower tenn
perature. The thermometer shows that
under ordinary conditions at the level
of the sea water boils at 2l2 degrees,
and that after it has reached the boiling
point and begins to escape in steam it is
only waste Of fuel to increase the heat
of the fire. The water will evaporate
or pass off in steam more rapidly by the
addition of more heat, but it will grow
no hotter, and articles immersed in il
will cook no sooner by being rapidly
boiled.

produce good effect if appropriately
applied. Oak and mahogany look best
in dining room, library or hall, while
walnut and painted pine are suitable for
drawing room or bedroom.
Arohways are simple fitment used
always with Moorish decorations, and
they are also pretty addition when
used between two rooms, in place Of
folding doors and nicely draped with
handsome curtains.
The overdoor is an immense i'm.
provement to dining room or hall, as it
lends importance to the entrance and
renders the squareness of the opening
less noticeable. In the same way the
window seat gives an air Of comfort to
both sitting room and hall, and no other
fitment il so easy Of construction. All
that is required is to have the seat suf1i-
GENTLY wide to form comfortable
lounge and the cushions well uphol-
| stored.
Perhaps the most universal fitment
has been the so called "cozy corner" of
which little is now heard.
Fitted bookcases are both decorative
and useful, welcome and apropos in al
most any room and quite essential i'll Il
| library Some are fitted from floor to
ceiling, while others 90 only half way,
forming sort Of dado, aud are finished
with shelf ledge useful for the dis
play of few choice ornaments. Among
other most useful fitments are cupboards
and these, again, can be made Of any
kind of wood and take up their position
in hall or bedroom.
| Many Libraries are now furnished
| with fitted furniture. The mantelpiece,
bookshelves, writing table and window
seat are SO arranged that u part of one
piece often goes to form part Of the
next. The same with bedrooms The
bed, dressing table, washstand, wardrobe
and fireplace are all fitments designed
specially for the place they occupy.
Such arrangements make exceedingly
tasteful and elegant rooms, economizing
space and suiting the furniture to its
position in way which could hardly
be done with separate pieces.

Evening Dress For Men.

In evening dress fabrics finer, softer
and more beautiful blacks are distin-
gushing features. Favorite materials
are twills, plain, sharp raised, dress,
oorkscrew and whipcord in the finest of
worsteds, some of which are dull or
dead faced; undressed worsted twills,
worsted broadcloths, dress vicunas, vi
cuna hopsaoks, tibets, dress GRANTEES,
dress grapes. all Of which are used for q
complete suit. although the trouserings
are generally tri6e heavier than coat
and vest. White silk and marseilles
vestings are favored to such degree
that it has come to be considered old
fogyish to wear the black waistcoai
with evening dress, except on certain
occasions when the white vest would
be obviously, out Of order. according to
the New York Herald which reports
the foregoing.

Mr. Bryan in New York "wOrld0

the New York World, appeared In that
journal. We select the following ex-
tracts:
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY's RESP PONsIBIL-
ITIES.
"Those who in State and Nation are
entrusted with legislation will be held
responsible for the manner in which
they deal with the questions which
now confront our people. Without ex-
Cluding other questions from consider
alton, I desire to call attention to two
the money question and the trusts.
"Of the money question first. The
contest between bimetallism and gold
mOnometallism has begun, and will not
end until one system or the other Sc.
cures a complete triumph.
"SilVer is now in an intermediate
state. While gold has a monopoly of
mint privileges, standard silver dollars
are a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, except where they
are specifically contracted against.
"Silver cannot be lett in this position
permanently. 1t must either be re-
stored to equality with gold or rele-
gated to the plane of token money and
made q limited legal tender.
DEBTORS HAVE RIGHTS AS WELL AS
CREDITORS.
"The right of the debtor to select the
coin of payment is part of bimetsl-
lism, and this right Is lodged with the
debtor, whether the debtor is private
individual or the government.
"The prohibition of special contracts
is also necessary to bimetsllism. If
the public welfare requires the use of
two metals as standard money, then it
is certainly contrary to public policy to
allow one metal to be demonetized by
private contract.
Especial contracts create an extrsOr-
binary demand for the kind of money
contracted for and tend to destroy the
parity and put a premium upon the
money designated In the contract. The
interests of all the people who use
money should not be sacrificed in order
to give an unfair advantage to those
who loan money.
"There is no compromise ground be-
tween bimetallism and gold monomet-
sllism. Some have objected to the
ratio of is to /, but they have not en-
desvored to secure bimetslllsm at any
other ratio. Some oppose independent
action by the United States, but aid
from other nations is 80 remote pos
sibility that dependence upon interna-
tionsl bimetsllism is equivalent to the
advocacy of gold monometsllism,
Besides deciding between monomet-
allism and bimetsllism, the American
people must decide between green
backs and National bank notes.
THE PEOPLE MUST ISSUE MONEY NOT
THE BANKS.
"NOw that the issue ia raised, com
psrison will be made between the two
systems, and feel confident that this
comparison will lead the American
people to the conclusion that the issue
of money, whether metallic or paper,
Is part OF the work of government,
and they will then demand that the
banks shall go out of the governing
business.

THE CRETAN QUESTION.

about l6O miles long and 70 miles Wld6
and containing but about 100000 inhab.
itants, it has a history going back thou.
sand years before the beginning Of the
Christian era. And that history is full
OF the romance Of war. Captured first
by the Dorians, then by the Romans
and afterwards by the VenetiRns, il fell
into the hands of the Turks about two
hundred years ago.
The population consists mostly Oi
Christians, about one-fourth being Turks
and Hebrews. Between Turk and Chris
tian there has not been peace on the
island any more than there has been in
Turkey. Christians being in the major.
ity, have been restive under Turkish rule
and have frequently demanded political
independence. On this account there
have been repeated insurrections. Once
the island was ceded to the Viceroy Of
Egypt, and in 1840 it was restored to
Turkey. From 1858 to 1866 there was
almost q continuous struggle Of the
Christians against their Turkish rulers
AT last, when amnesty was offered the
rebellious people, they refused it and
asked the interference Of the great pow
ers Of Europe in their behalf. France,
Russia, Prussia and Italy, in 1868, pro
posed cessation OF hostilities and an
inquiry into the causes Of the war. The
Turkish government rejected the pro
possl, and English and Austrian Minis
ters advised concessions to the Cretans
but nothing came Of it except to afford
ground for like interference Of the
"powers" in after years.
Greece then sympathized with the
Cretans, just as the people Of the United
States do now sympathize with the
Cubans, for Crete as much belongs tC
Greece as Cuba belongs to this country,
looking at the two cases from an inter.
national point Of view. So it has been
in all the troubles on the island since
that time. Greece has been and now is
the friend of the struggling Christians
on the neighboring island. Hence when
Turkey lately undertook the suppression
Of bostilities in Crete, King George Of
Greece landed troops on the island and
protected the people on his own respon-
sibility. This meant war against Tur-
key, and the powers have again
undertaken to adjust the difficulties,
They propose to preserve the peace and
not allow Greece to annex the island,
though they are not disposed to restore
it to Turkey.
To their joint note asking George to
vacate the island, he writes like q man
and a Christian as we'll as a King:
"Moved profoundly by the sentiments
animating the powers and their solici-
tude for the general peace, the Greek
government will not fail in it's duty, be-
cause Greece also has an ardent desire to
contribute to the maintenance Of peace
and preserve from complete ruin island
ers so long and sorely tried and so often
decimated. We believe that the pro.
posed autonomy will unfortunately fail
to respond to the nobler intentions which
inspired il, and will suffer the same fate
as many previous unsuccessful expert.
ments in Crete"
He then refers to former insurrectionE
and their attending cruelties, and adds:

TRUSTS.
"The trust has few open defenders.
1t lives because 1t has numerous secret
but influential friends.
ats existence Is not only menace to
the National welfare, but an impudent
denial of the ability of the government
to protect its citizens.
Jefferson said that one Of the main
duties of the government was to re.
strain men from iniuring one another,
"Never was it more necessary than
now for the government to exercise
this restraining power, All admit that
the government should protect the
physically weak from injury at the
hands of those who are physically
strong, and yet the strongest man is
scarcely twice as powerful as the aver
age man.
"NOw, when improved machinery and
associated wealth make a single Corpo.
ration a thousand times as strong,
sometimes, as the average individual,
is 1t not right and necessary to protect
the pecunisrily weak from injury at
the hands Of those who are pecuniarily
powerfulp
THEY ARE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
"There are 80 many arguments which
can be made against the trust that one
scarcely knows with which argument
to begin.
"It is a gross injustice to leave the
people at the mercy Of coal trust, an
oil trust, sugar trust, a coffee trust,
or any other trust which can control
the price of an article Of necessary con-
sumption, and then eXtort millions
from the consumers.
at is as much the duty of the govern.
ment to protect society from these In
stitutions asit is to afford protection
against the highwayman or the bur-
glsT, and yet l am not sure but there
are arguments even stronger than the
argument directed against the amount
of the extOrtion.
"The fact that q trust can drive
merchant out of business If he refuses
to join with the trust threatens to
make complete change In business
methods. 1t is impossible to conceive
of more demorsIlzlng condition than
that in which the merchant is COM
PEELED to choose between bankruptcy
on the one hand and conspiracy against
the welfare of society on the other.
"Under such conditions honesty, To-
dustry and business ability count for
nothing; merit is punished and wrong
is enthrOned.
eff any stronger argument can be
found against the trust 1t is found In
its corrupting influence upon politics.
A small per cent. Of the unjust profits
gathered in by great trusts will make
such large contribution to campaign
fund that the party which received the
contribution is likely to manifest but
little disposition to "kill the hen that
lays the golden egg"
Legislators who secretly favor truats
will not legislate against them; execu-
tive officers who secretly favor trusts
will not enforce laws against them /;
