HINTs FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

When jellies and jams are kept where
there is danger Of their collecting damp
ness and mould it is we'll to cover them
with thin layer of melted paraffine; it
will quickly harden and keep out all air
and moisture. 1t is easily removed
when the jelly is wanted, and can be re-
tanned and used again by remelting.
Queen Victoria's jubilee great-grand-
daughter, the little Princess of York,
has received her name. The cake for
the christening weighed seventy pounds,
and was thirty-six inches in height.
Upon the top was large lily, in the ceE
ter of which reposed the figure of an
infant; above the lily was canopy of
lace, held in place by cupids. The dec
orations around the cake were of lilies
of the valley.
An old housekeepcr says it is by far the
best plan to make ones own lemon flaw
oring for cakes and puddings. Before
cutting a lemon to extract the juice wash
and wipe it with a soft cloth; then CRATE
off all the delicate yellow skin, not taking
any of the white bitter part Place the
grated peel in wide-mouthed bottle
and cover it thickly with Sranulated
sugar. Keep the bottle tightly corked.
The sugar becomes saturated with the
oil from the peel and when used in place
of extracts gives most delicate flavor.
Among the fruits prepared for the win
ter supply the huckleberry is one of the
most useful for pies aud puddings. The
fruit is still plenty and in excellent con-
dition for putting up. The simplest
and incest way for preserving 1t is in hot
water. Wash and drain the fruit and

CHAPTER XIX.

Rob was destined to demonstrate that
even the unrighteous are sometimes not
forsaken. She was distinctly Of the un-
righteous, according to those whose
standard was Miss Winfield, yet at the
first word Of her trouble friends came
hurrying to her aid. Mr.. Payne and
Colonel Talbot, Of course, were fore
most, and each looked to find limp,
white, fearful creature, hunted, driven,
not knowing whittier to turn. Instead
they found collected young woman,
family smiling, with eyes that grew wet
for all her bravery when they let her
know upon what errand they had come.
Yet she was not ice or marble, this
wicked Rob. 1t was only that she had
been stirred to heat Of wrath so white
it burned away apprehension. The steal
ing of her stock, the midnight outrage
upon Aunt Phemy, last of all Ben Top
marks pursuit Of herself, had nerved
her to set her teeth and say:
"Fighti Yes; will fight this mon
strous claim, fight as would never do
in a mere matter of money. There is SO

Until the week before court sat Judge
Graball had held to the comforting be-
lief of his world as to his own potency
in legal affairs. Then suddenly he was
made aware that an elective judiciary
sometimes takes account of more things
than enter into strictly legal procedure,
Judge Waxem of the honorable court
was candidate for reelection, and his
only dangerous competitor was peculiar
ly strong in Walnut Creek-Walnut
Greek, which cast 400 votes, $50 of
which were safely controlled by Mr..
Topmark. All through heated canvass
that gentleman had sat impartially on
the fence, but at the eleventh hour he
gave out that, 'cordin ter his way er
seein things, Judge Waxem come nearer
doin right'n any new man could be
looked ter hit it, an Waxem'd have his
vote an infooence shore"
So, when the case of Tubbs versus
McGregor came up, Judge Graball was
not astonished to find that the plaintiffs
most serviceable attorney sat in the place
of Judgment. Do what Graball might,
things went at railroad speed. Motions
were denied, overruled, set at naught,
until he became SO defiantly and impu-
IDENTIFY cheerful those who understood
him best felt his case was hopeless, for
in the most desperate cases his air of
confidence became something superhu-
man. More than once it had carried the
jury his way in the face of law and evil
dence. But juries are never candidates,
needing to regard the sun. the winds, of
popular favor. The more Graball ma
neuvered the more fiinty hard grew
Judge Waxem's face.
The case had been called in the early
afternoon. 1t still lacked hours of night
fall. Mr.. Graball was on his feet speak
ing against time, indeed, when the judge
presiding, who had listened with an air
Of polite fatigue, as one who tolerates
another's babble solely from self re-
spect, yawned behind his hand, then
began to say:
'As you have nothing to offer beyond
adverse possession, Judge Graball, I
think we had as we'll not waste more
time. Mr.. Clerk, enter Judgment for'-
A stir about the door startled him in
to pausing breath's space. Before he
could go on there was hubbub that ST.
fenced him. An old woman, Ratchet
faced, weakened, bent, with skin like
brown parchment below thatch of stiff
gray hair, was half leading, half drag
ging, tall figure up the aisle toward
the bar. At the rail they stopped short.

Indianapolis, May 5.-The town cleo

significant ofpolitical changes. The ques-
lions were local for the most part, the tick
cts usually being labeled Citizens land
Peoples" In few of the larger towns,
however, the nominations were political
AT Converse the Republicans elected
over free silver ticket two to one. At
Orleans the offices were divided between
the Republican and Citizens tickets, a
gold Democrat being elected upon the
latter. AT Newport and Albany the Re-
publican tickets were elected through
out, and at Morristown the Republican
majorities were reduced.
At Kentland the result was a divi-
sion, the Republicans getting the trus-
tee and treasurer and the Democrats
the marshal and clerk. At Rockports
the Republican officers were elected, but
the Democrats captured the board of
trustees. The vote was extremely light
throughout, and If anything can be pre-
dicted from the results, 1t is that both
parties measure up about as they did in
the last campaign.

Nature has provided a certain amount of
work for every organ of the human body I;
overtax them and disease eventually follows.
There is not one portion Of our organism
that is so overworked as the kidneys; on
them is placed the important function Of
fltering the blood of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The kidneys are consequently
termed the sewerage of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid, which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed, and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of
the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains
and aches and cure all troubles of the kid
neys and bladder.

SpaItling Charged with Enibezzlement as
Well as Other Offenses.
Chicago, May 3.-The grand Jury Sat-
urday returned indictments against
five men connected with the manage
ment of the defunct Globe Savings bank.
The men indicted are Charles w. Spald-
ing, president of the bank, and ex-
treasurer of the State University of IL
linois; A. d. Avrill, vice president of the
bank; Charles f. Churchill, cashier; w.
B. Erwin, assistant cashier, and Allison
w. Harlan, one of the directors. There
are twenty-nine indictments in all.
Banker Spalding is included in all the
indictments returned and in fourteen
f them he is alone. OF the latter thir-
teen charge Spalding with embezzle-
ment of bonds of the University Of IL
linois, and one accuses him Of embezzling
$13l 900, funds of the university. His
total bonds foot up 100000. The other
men are indicted on fifteen charges, all
of them relating to the receiving of
deposits.
Spalding is charged with embezzle-
ment of state funds and with receiving
deposits knowing the bank to be hope
lessly insolvent. The other men are
charged with the latter offense only
Spalding was on the stand Saturday
and frankly admitted that he had
hypothecated bonds belonging to the
state university, and said that he had
been advised tC do so by John w. Lane
hart, now deceased, but at that time
law partner OF Ex-Governor ,Altgeld.
The report of the jury in returning the
indictments was very severe in its de-
nunciation of the conduct of the bank
officials, and said that the statute of
limitations was all that prevented the
Indictment of a number of other men.
