FOR THE HOUSEkEEPERS.

When ink is spilled upon linen, try
dipping the damaged material in pure
melted tallow. The hot tailow seems
to absorb the ink, and, after washing,
the stain will be found to have disap-
peared.
When the fingers are stained in peel
ing fruits, preparing green walnuts, or
in similar ways, dip them in strong tea,
rubbing them well with a nail brush,
and afterward wash them in warm wa
ter and the stains will disappear.
To defend ones self from the dust
and cinders from the open car window
just i'll front of railway passenger,
take a newspaper, fold it in rough
plaits, and fasten it fanwise to the back
Of the forward seat. The newspaper re-
ceives the cinders, and the victim be-
hind is relieved.
The best pie plates are those of tin
with straight sides about an inch high,
so there is 10 danger of the contents of
the pie running over. Porcelain lined
pie plates do not bake so well on the
bottom as those of tin. The old-fash-
toned pie plate of yellow stoneware is
q mistake. 1t is responsible for the sod
den under crusts of old time pies.

\ point in theatrical law has Just

the Pail Mail Gazette. The manager

that of the house. as q sweetly innocent

another lady of the troupe was taken i'll
and had to lie replaced. Her role was
the principal one in the piece. 1t was
offered to Mile. d'Arzac, who, 10 the

fused it. Never before, perhaps, in
the annals Of the theater had an actress
declined to be promoted to the rank

ended by fatty refusing the proffered
part, Whercupon her manager stopped

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
IN the "TTiceless Boon" of Every Citi-
zen of America

Gladstone as private citizen is at
liberty to say much which it would have
been indiscTcet and utterly wrong for
him to say rs premier when he repre-
&entcd Il great nation, says the Illus
tratcd American. Any man in posi-
ton Of delegated responsibility repre-
scnts not only himself, but those who
have intrustcd their interests to him.
y private tutor is amenable to a child'S
parents for what he teaches, though
t2Gore he was hired he had n right to
teach that child what he pleased if he
had opportunity. The college presi-
dcnt, while a larger independence is
given him, is nevertheless the teacher
hired by the parents, and they have a.
ways the right, collectively, to put re-
straints upon his utterances. Freedom
Of speech is the "pricc,ess boon" Of
every citizen Of America, but when a
citizen enters into contract with other
citizens to do a certain amount Of speak
ing by way of instruction, lie yolun-
tarily consents TO the possibility of re-
straint. There is nothing to quarrel
over in this. No man need forego his
freedom of speech if he does not wish
to. But if he takes another mans
money for his speech, the employer has
Gn undoubted right to indicate when
the contract shall end, and without
prejudice to the American doctrine.

TO CARE FOR THE CARPETS.

Good carpets should be brushed daily
with an ordinary sweeper, and once a
week with n common broom.
While air and light are necessary to
the wcll-being OF the members OF the
household, il Is not necessary that the
sun should be allowed TO stream across
bright carpets, fading their delicate
,olOrs.
Tea leaves should be pressed tight
~ after they have been used and put
aside TO sprinkle over the carpet just be-
fore sweeping and prevent the dust
from flying and soilng the furniture
md paper.
The oitencr a carpet is taken up and
shaken the longer it will wear The
dirt that collects underneath grinds out
the threads. This is also true OF mat
ting. Mating should be swept with
brush and occasionally washed with
salt and water.

The Ancient Greeks Sang Dlfthely
and Were Carefully Instructed.

and Were Carefully Instructed.
Our present system of public instruc
tion is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
, superintendent, who, if distant report
is to be trusted, was an educational
despot. But, while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visits,
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as
diligent a promoter of music as is any
humane and progressive educator of
our era. AS result, the little Lace
daemonians sang blithely, no matter
what torment was going on under
their tunics. And all over Greece. in
those dim days, were schools, ranging
from infant grades instructed under
Arcadian hedges to the univcrsity-cX-
tension schemes harborCd in buildings
uniquely termed places of leisure"
The infants were drilled in their alpha
beta-gammas; the older boys were
taught poetry and gymnastics, with
something of arithmetic, geometry and
drawing; and adults spent their leisure
with rhetoriticians and sophists, pay
ing handsomely for the privilege. But
music was sine qua non of Grecian
life, in school and in sport, in battle
and in burial. The epic and elegiac
chantings at festivals, the calm specula-
tions Of Pythagoras as to the music
of the spheres, the choral outburst of
'the great fifth century" the material
odes Of Tyrtaeus and Pndar, all show
the rational love for melody of voice
as well as for high and harmonious
thought. An old-time Greek set down
amid the strident, metallic voices of
our occidental world would feel that
the Furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was visiting.

A JUST JUDGE.

1t is said that when a man is his
and experience proves the truth of the
saving. IT is also said that no man
is St to be Judge in his own case
That is a rule that has its exceptions.
The exception is the case of the mayor
of the town of Bowling Green, Ohio.
One night last week the mayor got full,
full as goat, though no goat was ever
were plenty. Now. the mayor of this
Ohio town is also a police magistrate
by virtue OF his office. The morning
following the night of his dissipa ton
he opened court as usual and dis
patched the cases brought before him.
After this he preferred a charge of
drunkenness against himself No
sooner was the charge preferred than
he promptly found himself guilty and
imposed a fine of So upon himself, to-
gether with costs. There is no record
that as mayor he RENTED the fine.
Here was a Just judge; here was a
man after the Merchant of Venice's
own heart; he was 4 very Daniel come
TO Judgment though it is not stated
that his name was Daniel. This judge,
this mayor of Bowling Green, is worthy
to go uD higher. He has set an ex-
ample that should be followed by all
judges and mayors who are won't to
look upon the wine when it is red; that
is in fining himself, not in getting full.
There NAV be parallels TO this case,
but they are few. 1t reminds one of
the 5000 lashes that Sancho Panza
agreed TO inflict upon himself with a
koorbash that the beautiful princess
might be disenchanted. But Sancho's
action was not so noble because,
shrewd compound of knave and philos-
opher that he was, he never inflicted
all the lashes he solemnly swore to,
while this Ohio Daniel did all that the
law, in its majesty, required of the
meanest culorit. If all the 1900 Ohio
office-seekers are like this Buckeye
judge, the government could not do
better than avail itself of their serv-
ices. They all stand ready to make
the trial.

SUPPORTING THE NEW TARIFF.


If the Dingley tariff can be passed
speedily, with some reasonable assur-
ance that it will not soon be disturbed
again, the whole country can afford to
give il enthusiastic support. But it
will only be complete when it contains
provision FOR removing all duty upon
articles produced by combinations in
restraint of trade, and creates a per-
manent commission of experts to rec
ommend future amendments when re-
quired BIZ changed conditions" says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. That is a re-
markedly conservative view for Re-
publican paper 70 take of the tariff
question. The Dingley bill will have
the support of the entire people if it
the needs of the government, and
brings about such an Improvement in
business conditions that it NAV rea-
sonably be said to have produced a re-
turn of prosperity. Whether or not it
viii do that time alone can tell. If it
does not do this it would be unreason-
able to ask the people not to disturb it.
i Ills new ldIIl DAll 10 SUBSTANTIALLY
old Mckinley bill of $780, That did not
produce prosperity. though it did fulfill
the object for which it was enacted;
its object having been 'to reduce the
revenue and equalize duties on imports,
and for other purposes" The land for
ether purposes" answered the same
purpose as "sundries" in a bill of ex-
pense.
The Dispatch says the new bill will
only be complete when it contains a
provision for removing all duty upon
articles produced by combinations in
restraint of trade. and creates perma-
nent commission ot experts to recon-
mend future amendments when re-
quired by changed conditions. It will
never be completed by the addition of
such provisions. They are too wise,
too sensible. too businesslike for any
protectionist congress to adopt. The
greatest beneficiaries of the tariff are
those very combinations in restraint of
trade, while TO create a permanent
commission of experts to recommend
future amendments when required by
changed conditions would be to take
the tariff out of politics. That which
the Dispatch would have is too utopian
for realization.

JIM BLUDso.

Wall. no, / can't tell whar he lives.
Because he don't live. you see;
Leastways. he's got out of the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in hez-Under-the-Hill
And another one here in Pike.
A keerlesS man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row;
But he never fiunked, and he never lied
l reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire,
A thousand times he SWore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
ALI boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day came at last;
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she came tearing along that
night
With niger squat on her safety. valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosin and
pine.
The fire burst out as she clared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as a flash she turned and
made ~
For that willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cursin', but Jim
yelled out,
Over the Internal roar,
"Ill hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore.
Through the hot. black breath of the
burning boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word;
And sure's you're born, they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing,
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt agoing to be too hard
On a man that died for men.

Whv moonlight Looks Cold.

AS twilight comes on red objects lose
their color sooner than others, finally
appearing black, while other colors are
still visible.
When the color is gradually reduced.
the various colorS in great measure
disappear. The curious color of q
moonlight landscape is entirely ac-
counted for by this fact. Light be-
comes greenish as it diminishes in in
tensity, and the reds, blues and yell
lows, being reduced or absent, are not
reflected by surrounding objects. Hence
moonlight always has the appearance
of GOODNESS, while the sunlight is warm
Further, the loss of colors in flowers
as night draws on may be easily fol-
lowed. Thus orange-colored flowers
may be plainly distinguished, while a
scarlet geranium appears black. Green
grass will be gray. when yellow flowers
may be just visible.
