The ignorance of many housekeepers
and cooks concerning the use of the
draughts of the range is appalling.
A lady who understood something of
stove draughts and of the profound
ignorance of most housemaids regard
ing their use once purchased second
hand stove, which had been condemned
by its owners because it smoked.
It bore the name Of a famous manu-
facturer-a far better Recommendation
than any owner could give. It had been
in use for two years, and a short ex-
animation showed that dnring all this
period the smoke draught had never
been used. It was sealed up in SCOT,
and the handle was broken off. The
owner said she had never noticed it
before, and in other matters she was a
fairly intelligent housekeeper.

BEAUTIES OF oLDEN DAYS.

Sappho is said by the Greek writers
to have been a blonde.
Jezebel. .Ithe Queen of Ahab, accord
ing to one of the rabbis, had "black
eyes that were set On fire by hell"
The Empress Anna of Russia was
very portly and the flesh mess of her
face greatly detracted from its good
Ooks.
Margaret of Anjou had the typical
face sof French beauty. She was
black-haired, black-eyed and vivacious.
Her features were Indicative of her
strength of character.
Pocahontas is described as having
features as regular as those Of Eu-
ropean woman. She is also said to
have had a lighter complexion than
usual among Indian women.
Theodore, the wife of the famous
Justininian, was beautiful, crafty and
unscrupulous. She is said to have been
tall. dark and with "poWer of CONVEX
sation superior to any woman in the
empire.o
Catharine Of Braganza, Queen Of
Charles II. was singularly gifted both
in person and in intellect, but in spite
of her beauty and her good sense she
was never able to win the love Of her
dissolute husband.
Cleopatra was not an Egyptian, but
a Greek beauty, with perfectly white
skin, tawny hair and blue eyes. Her
chief fascination was her voice, which
is described as low, we'll modulated
and singularly sweet in tone.
The Empress Catharine I had
coarse red face generally broken out
with pimples from the constant use of
strong drink. She was a slave to
brandy and died Of a disease brought
on by intemperance. In youth she had
been famous for her beauty.

While there are few Republicans in
Congress who would have named Mr..
Lyman J. Gage, had they been asked
to select President MbKinley's Secre-
tary of the Treasury, all of them agree
in commencing the choice now that IL
has been made by Maj. Mckinley.
Many Republican Senators and Repre-.
sentatiyes ale personally acquainted
with Mr.. Gage. and those who have
not that honor are familiar through
others with his splendid business ca.
reer in Chicago, where he has resided
for more than forty years. From a bns.
iness standpoint there is not q flaw in
the record of Mr.. Gage; from politi-
cal standpoint, there is one flaw: He
voted for Cleveland when he was elec-
ted President the first time. The best
proof that Mr.. Gage regretted his ac-
tion in that case is found in the fact
that he did not vote for Cleveland the
second and third time that be was
candidate and that he was especially
active in the support of Mckinley and
Hobart and honest money, during the
late campaign. His administration
Of the Treasury department is likely to

Had President-elect Mckinley tried
ever so hard, he could not have pleased
the old-soldier element of the party
more than he has done by the selection
of General Russell A. Alger, of Michi-
gan, to be his Secretary of War. Gen.
Alger is also popular with the party at
large, and the Michigan delegation in
Congress is especially well pleased with
the honor bestowed upon him.

Several anti-Republican Senators
made quite bluff at opposing the bill
authorizing President Mckinley to ap-
point delegates to represent this
country at any International monetary
conference that may be called by any
other country or that he in his judg-
ment may deem advisable to all but
when it came up to the scratch only
four votes were cast against the bill in
the Senate. No trouble is expected in
getting the bill through the House. A
notable feature of the short debate
which preceded the passage Of the bill
by the Senate was the speech made by
Senator Hoar, who, when abroad last
year made it point to secure informa-
tion on the growth of bimetallism in
Europe. He expressed the positive
opinion that international bimetall-
ism was bound to come in time.
AS to the length of time, he
said: s'if not in three months, then in
three years. 1t will be stronger twelve
months hence than it is to-day, and it
is stronger to-day than twelve months
ago." Mr.. Hoar quoted original let
ters in his posse ssion to show why he
believed that four great nations, the
United States, England, France and
Germany, were steadily advancing to-
wards bimetallism.

her utterances as to her object in visit

one of her hangers-on has let the cat
out of the bag, by stating that she
thought Precedent Cleveland ought, be-
fore retiring from Office to replace her
upon the throne. She has been badly
advised if she thinks any such thing as
that can be accomplished. Although
Mr.. Cleveland was at one time very
anxious to restore the deposed Queen
to authority, there is reason to believe
that he has long since realized the mis-.
take he made in his policy towards
Hawaii, and that he would not now
carry it out if he could. And every
body, included the Ex-Queen ought to
