No Defense Needed.

The Daily Item is chagrined al
the deserved ignoring its attack on
the Millsaps committee has receiv.
ed at the hands of the State press,
1t shows its disappointment by
wondering
Why the Democratic press, big and
little, did not rush to his defense when
The Item found that hole in the Mill
saps' report to Foster.
The Democratic press of Louisi-
ana has long since decided that it
is rather a recommendation to any
man to have the Item down on him.
In Millsaps' case, particularly. the
charge was so bare and baldfaced
in its intention that no one thought
it worth while to pay any attention
to it. The item is great on egg
gers" in its own estimation. Two
weeks ago it made this showing for
the Millsaps committee:

It then proceeded to charge Mr..
Millsaps with having 'hoggei" the
81, 800 contributed by the State to
purchase corn. Let the Item make
allowance for the car loads of corn
'tfree' in the twelve or
fourteen parishes affected by the
drouth, and the hole in it's pretend
ed calculation appears, the ''laugh"
comes in, and from it's own show
ing the State will be debtor to
Millsaps for the price of the entire
amount of the free distribution!

Charles Murray, lone of many curious
stories of this Sir John Shaw "He was
most eccentric in his appearance and
dress and cared nothing for tidiness in

him at Carnock. As was the custom of
the time, they appeared before dinner
in knee breeches, silk stockings and
thin shoes, The weather being fine. Sir
John invited them to take turn in the
garden. Civilly and thoughtlessly they
followed their host and soon found
themselves skipping among nettles and
thistles, to the great discomfort of their
unfortunate calves. Sir John. who was
clad, as usual, in corduroy breeches and
top boots, said to them, with polite
gravity, Step oot. step cot, gentlemen,

The Future United States.

"The population Of the United
States will increase for many years
yet, but never again in so great a
ratio as during the last century, :"
said Prof. Howard W. Shaw, now at
the Southern. "This country can
support population of 300,000,000
much more easily than France can
support her 100000 900, but after we
touch the hundred million figure our
increase will be slow. It Is cheap
homes and high wages that now at
tract immigration. Low-priced land
will soon disappear and with it will
90 high wages, despite the wisdom OF
statesmen. Then, instead of a con-
slant stream of homeseekers pouring
into America, considerable stream
will pour out towards the fertile
lands Of South America and Southern
Africa. Uncle. Sam will probably be-
gin the twentieth century with S0,-
00o,0 people; he will do well if he
ends it with an increase Of 20, 900, 900.
Bv that time-the beginning Of the
twenty-Arst century-we will be a
HOMOGENEOUS people, There will be
no longer ish-Americans and Ger.
man-Americans, but everybody will
be American pure and simple. The
many streams that are now flowing
hitherward from all parts Of Europe
will have amalgamated, and the re-
suit will be one of the best balanced
and most intellectual peoples the
world has ever known. Globe. Dem

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
The Useful Oil Stove.

A writer in Table Talk, descantins
upon the use of the little oil stove, says:
''It is surprising how much can be
done on one of these toy stoves with
one or two burners, especially when
one buys bread and cake and cooked
meats at our delicacy bakeries. There
is one objection to the oil stove. No
body likes it breath, and breathe it
must. I have discovered way of
sweetening this bad breath, which
works like charm. Set the stove by
a window on the windward side OF the
room, with no especial draft to make it
smoke, and out at the window, which
is down on inch from above, will es-
cape a good deal Of it's exhalation.
Then, when the meal is cooked, set
above the tiny flame, left on purpose
for few minutes, teacupful Of water,
into which is dropped spoonful of
spice-ginger or cinnamon or cloves.
The fragrance Of the mixture when it
boils creeps into every corner and
drives before it every bit of griddle
cake odor or sausage smoke. The dis
agreeable scent one often meets in the
parlor oil stove or the bedroom heater,
SO popular of a cool morning, can be
concealed by bit of spice scattered on
the tubing"

New York City a Century Ago.

& The manners and customs of the
city century ago were still very prim-
tive, says F. NJ. Hopkins in an article
quoted in Current Literature. The
Dutch language was generally used,
and signs over the stores, with few ex-
captions, bore Dutch names. The
lower part of Pearl street was the
fashionable part Of the town, although
Barclay, Robinson and William streets
were beginning to dispute its claims.
Each citizen swept the street in front
of his own house twice aweek; and the
bell man came around daily for gar
bage. The streets were lighted by
whale oil; coal was almost unknown,
hickory wood being used chiefly for
fuel. The millmen trayersed the
street early in the morning, bearing
yoke on their shoulders, from which
the cans were suspended, shouting:
"Milk, ho!'' in token Of their coming;
and water from the celebrated tea
water pump on the corner Of Chatham
and Pearl streets, was carried about in
a cart, and retailed at penny gal
lon. The streets were swept by small
colored boys, who went their rounds at
daybreak, jcrying: Sweep, no! from
the bottom to the tow, without q lad
der or rope, sweep, ho!" with nu-
merous variations.

Peculiarities of Pearls.

Possessors of pearls have the care
of some very precarious treasure.
There is probably no gem that is SO
subject TO accident and injury, and
none that once damaged is so impossi-
bic to restore. They are composed
very largely of carbonate of lime,
which is readily affected by acids, and
sometimes by the condition OF the at
mosphere. They are very frail and.
easily cracked or broken. It is not
generally understood that there are
many persons who cannot successfully
wear pearls at all. An excess Of acid
in the perspiration sometimes destroys
their beauty, and even careless hand
ling has been known to tarnish them
past restoring. They burn into bit
Of lime dust and frequently lose their
lustre from causes which cannot be as
certained. Experts sometimes claim
to be able to clean them, but the pro-
cess is not always satisfactory.-Th
Ledger.

Strange Lake Selawik.

Father Tossi, who recently made q
tour of Alaska, describes some extra
ordinary phenomena connected with q
small lake, named Selawik, situated
near the seashore. Tides rise and fall
in the lake, perhaps on account of an
underground connection with the sea-
At the bottom, he says, the water is
salt, but on The top there is layer of
sweet water. Hot springs exist in the
lake, and around these the water does
not freeze, but they are surrounded
by circular walls of ice sometimes three
feet in height. u. &

Trunks.

There are comparatively few round
top trunks made now. The idea was
that greater resisting power could be
obtained with least weight by initial
inc to some extent the shape OF an
egg, which, as we know, will bear an
absurdly great weight, but unfortu,
nately there was no guarantee That
the baggage-smasher would always
stand the trunk the right way up.
His failure to do this gave number
less reminders of the fact that nc
box is stronger than at its weakest
point, and the damaged sides became
very common. Now most trunks
are made with fiat tops, and are sc
strong all over that it is very dlfh
cult. even for an expert trunk-smash'
er, to break one.

Do Not Use a Buster.

In caring for your bric-a-brac Of fine,
fragile china, or any piece Of pottery
too delicate to endure much handling,
dispense altogether with the ordinary
buster Of commerce. Many pieces Of
china, especially rose bowls, beakers
and vases, are decorated in relief with
flower and leaf. These will certainly
break off if handled with untutored
fingers. Use a. tiny bellows to puff
away the dust from these tender ex-
crescences and from such crannies as.
hide and hold the dust, being careful
not to bring the nozzle sharply against
the china You will be surprised to
see how clean the china can be kept
by following this method for relief
work and creyices. The rest of the
piece can be wiped off with an old soft
silk handkerchief.
The feather buster must not be
brought near the shelf where the china
is ranged. It may whisk off some
precious piece, and is Of no use as
china duster. The parlor china should
not be washed often, as the process is
rather dangerous; and the silk hand
kerchief does nearly all that is neces-
sary. For other busting the squares
Of cheesecloth are acceptable The
feather buster should have long
handle, for its proper use is to whisk
off the tops Of picture frames and high
parts of windows and inside blinds and
the strips Of molding high up on the
walls-in short, what is inaccessible to
the woman busting except with the aid
of a stepladder. Portiere rails can be
reached in this way, although, of
