A Simple COntrivnmee to Offset the

working of capillary attraction, the guests
being a lamp, which brought it's wick and
a sponge, which came in tin coach or

plain idea: She places china or glass
bowl on the floor, in front of the hot air
register, or the receptacle may be a
brass jardiniere or one of the cheap red
good supply Of water. She then throws a
handsome towel over one of those low
down towel racks that take up very little

thus converted into a handsome little
screen, the hot air evaporates the moisture
from the shining damaSk, and thus sends q
quantity of moistened air into the sleeping
apartment, to the great comfort of it's
inmates.
Plants in sitting rooms have always to
fight against the over-dry air of even some
furnaces that have their water supply in
the cellar But a plant. in room with this
readymade moisture giver will flourish as
finely as though it were in the kitchen.
Every one knows that a kitchen window
is the best place in the house for growing
ferns, as the steam of the tea kettle, to say
nothing Of the constant use of hot water
from the boiler and even the incense that
the WaShtub sends up, all keep the air most
agreeable to breathe for either human be-
ings or green growing things. The atnnos-
phere of most kitchens is exceedingly
pleasant and wholesome on this account
The more decorative boxes. which are
destined to go in the parlors, are made OF
brass. perforated, but this is only to con-
ceal the original towel idea, as all their use
is to evaporate water, contained in a gall
vanized tank inside, and lifted into the up

in the water at one end.
1t is surprising to notice the large guam

disposes of by dispensing it to the atmos-

of sitting in these too dry rooms, and which
is at once relieved by getting into the

THE CITIZENS UNION.
1t Was Managed by Bosses quite as
Objectionable as Any.
City Journal.

Kansas City Journal
The Citizens Union, which gained its
strength from reiterated and passionate
ayowals of anti-Tammany sentiment, is
directly responsible for the success or the
Democratic ticket. Before the nominations
were made it was accepted as a fact tnat
Boss Croker could not be defeated except
through a fusion of the Republicans and
the independents. But the leaders or the
independent movement, represented by the
Citizens Union believed that they could
compel fusion, and, taking advantage or
their strength, refused anything IKE Dig
nified or courteous consideration OF the Re
publican party. They wanted to name their
man and control the patronage. They be-
lieved that they could force the Republicans
to indorse their candidate. But they made
q false reckoning.
The situation is simply this: The Citi-
zems Union, while 1t was supported by
many sincere and earnest reformers, was
managed by politicians whose methods
were as extensively dictatorial and whose
motives were as manifeStly tereSted
as were those of Croker. These alleged re-
formers simply masqueraded so as to gain q
following they could not have commanded
otherwise. They professed q willingness
to concentrate upon any good man who
would give reasonable assurance Of a re-
form government If this profession had
been made in good faith there would have
been disposition to give the Republicans a
chance to name Seth Low, who was the
most conspicuous fusion candidate before
any nominations had been made But with
all the proverbial jealousy and maneuver-
ing of the regular party boss the leaders
of reform" assumed the roles Of dictators
in order that they might be able to COM
mand the position of dispensers.
Low is a good man, but he is not bigger
than party. He has not always been a
loyal Republican, but he would have been
an acceptable fusion candidate. He re-
fused the ordinary and necessary conces-
sionS to a fusion movement, although he
professed the leading purpose Of defeating
Tammany. Had he been as honest as his
professions were commendable he would
have met the Republicans half way and
given them their right to name him before
movement, albeit a powerful one. Again
had he been as sincere a reformer as he
professed to be, rather than see Tammany
win he would, after original fusion was
made impossible, have withdrawn in favor

worthy TO be put forward as a reform can

81 have hitherto had very little hope OF
the success of colonizlng schemes, for the
reason that they have generally been

Debs is a perfectly honest and unseltis b
man. He is undoubtedly the best labor
leader we have now. Whether he is going
to be successful leader in such an in
dustrial enterprise is still doubtful ana
will have to be shown.

PORTLAND, Or. July Sin the sum-
mer of 1892 there died here l. w. PERL
man, victim of the Willard boom dis
aster, leaving wife and three children on
q small garden-truck ranch near Mount
Tabor. The eldest son, Isaac, then scarcely
16 years old, managed the little garden so
we'll as to support the family and gain an
education for himself
Perlman had an elder brother VINO left
New York about fifty years ago to try his
fortunes In BAIL. He is now a million
aire banker in Rio Janeiro, having made
the bulk of his fortune during the revolu-
tion in Brazil in 1891. Over a decade ago
letter writing ceased between the two
brothers, mainly through carelessness.
The Brazilian Perlman recently came to
San Francisco on business, and having
known his brother to live here sent him
random letter. with an invitation TO renew
their fraternal relations at tue bay.
Young Perlman, having often heard his
father speak of his ricn brother in Brazil,
took advantage of the cheap fares and
visited his unknown uncle, who took very
much to heart tho news of his brothers s
death. The young man returned from
below on Monday, and his uncle, an aged,
unmarried man, accompanied him to see
the rest of the family, remaining two
days. The aged banker became fascinated
with his young nephew after listening to
his mother extolling his rare manly vir-
tues, and before returning home via San
Francisco, it was agreed that, as he had
neither cnick nor child on earth. young
Mr.. Perlman should follow h i'm to Brazil
in August. where he will initiate him into
the inlricacies of his private business
affairs. The rest is lett to reasonable
Imagination.
Mrs. Perlmar and her two other chill
dren will abide in San Francisco-their
former where they will be lux
uriously provided for. As an earnest of
his intention, Banker Perlman. just as he
stepped aboard the San Francisco-bound
tram, pressed a folded bit OF paper in
his nephew's hand, with the remark:
II trust you 10 10 good with it,.
AS the train drew out and young PERL
man unfolded the paper, he was amazed
at finding it to be a bona fide check for
several thousand dollars on San Fran
cisco banking house.

forthwith he seized from the bar one OF

it to bits and swallowed the fragments.
He repeated the performance with an
