Postage Stamps of High Denomination.

Frequently the question is asked
why the government issued postage
stamps to the value of five dollars, it
having been doubted whether they
were a real necessity. 1t is true that
up to a few years ago there was moth
ing higher than 80 cents, though in
sending heavy packages abroad it was
somewhat of a nuisance to have to
stick on very many 90-cent stamps.
The high values are used principally
on large packages of books, coin, etc,
consigned to foreign points or
long distances in the United States,
and in such cases will often be found
cheaper than other methods of trans
portation. There are some publish
ers who use great many dollar
stamps a week, and they are of great
convenience to business houses in
that line. TWAS stated by a publisher
some few weeks ago that a package
came under his notice recently which
had been prepaid with five-dollar Co
lumbar stamps to the value of $50,

Domestic Training.

Reyerting again TO the servant question:

households as men conduct their business
but one fact. and very important one Is

Spring Cleaning Hints.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

An efficient and economical housewife will
always welcome suggestions in matters of
cleanliness and renovation.
To begin with. the best cleaner of hair
brushes is spirits of ammonia and warm
water. Take tablespoonful of ammonia TO
a quart of water dip the bristles up and
down in the water without wetting the back
of the brush. and rinse in clean water:
then shake we'll and dry in the air, but not
in the sun.
Soap and soda softens the bristles and will
turn an ivory-black brush yellow so in case
OF the latter the following treatment is rec
commended: Rub plenty of -four well in,
wrap up in a paper and leave all night :
give "A good shaking and remove the re-
naming -four by blowing the brush Ivory
that has become yellow from age or usage
may be whitened by good rubbing with
fine sandpaper or moist powdered pomice
stone.
Tortoise shell combs or ornaments that
have lost their polish may be renovated by
rubbing them with very finely powdered
rotten stone mixed with a little olive oil.
The rotten stone should be sifted through q
piece Of fine muslin before mixing liz with
the oil. When all marks are removed polish

The Storage of Furs.

NEW 1Ork sun.
"turs are easy enough to keep during
warm weather" said a storer of furs the
other day, when approached on the SUBJ
jeot. IF ladies would only use few SIM
pie preventives they could keep them at
home as well as we can in our storerooms.
OF course fur garment is better hung
up than folded away in box or trunk.
First, because there is less danger of
crushing and wrinkles; second, because
moths can be more readily seen at their
work. The best plan is to select a dark
closet and have it papered all over top
and bottom, with tar paper. AS its surface
is sticky. it should be covered with a Sec
ond coat of paper to prevent the clothes
coming in direct contact with the tar For
this second coat l find newspaper as good
as anything that be used. Perhaps
the smell of printers ink helps the tar to
do its work, it may be because news
paper is porous and allows the tar odor
TO come through more readily. Before hang
ing i'll this closet, all garments, both fur
and wool, should be carefully beaten with
slender cane. Here is the great secret
of keeping furs. 1t is in cleaning them be-
fore they are put away. If a moth or a
moth egg goes into the closet with them

but during that brief life / have known
these little insects TO spoil the beauty of
an elegant garment So the greatest care
should be taken to beat and comb furs
clean before storing them away. For this
purpose a fur comb should be used. or a
slender, strong cane that will reach the
skin itself. The safest plan is to remove
the garments from this closet about once
a month and give them thorough beating.
Some persons hang them in the sun on
these occasions, believing that the sun de-
stroys moths and moth eggs, while, as a
matter OF fact, IL matches the eggs, and.
like any other heat, makes the moth thrive
Where only a chest trunk or as is
sometimes the case. only pasteboard box
Is TO be had, then the management is diff
ferent. After the cleaning process. which is
always the same, il is best for the chest
box or trunk to be lined with tar paper

where this is not practicable any of the
though sold under different names, their in
gradients are about the same. They should
be carefully SeWed in bags to prevent con-
tact with the furs. as they invariably leave
spots on dark-colored skins. The odor can

For the Dining Table.

fnlldOelpnld fTeSS.
The useful table mat is a thing of the
past, as every careful housekeeper must
sometimes remember to her anguish when
she essays to uncover her dining room ia
BILE and finds its once glitteringly polished
surface defaced here and there where hot
dishes have been set down. When the carv-
ing is done at the table folded napkins are
sometimes placed underneath the cloth, but
they are altogether too candid, and betray
their presence by various uneven depres-
sicnS and elevations. The best preventive
of a ruined table, without taking refuge
with the deposed mats. is a sheet of ashes
ties. This may be bought by the yard. and
thus can be procured in different lengths
to fit ones need OF sometimes small and
sometimes an extended table. Ii will quite
do away with any further worry. since no
matter how carelessly "a dish may be over
heated. it cannot harm the wood protected
by asbestos. This should be placed, it may
be added next the table and beneath both
linen cloth and the pad. which gives the
upper cloth it's body and weight.

THE NEW CAPITOL,

Now that the capitol commission
has decided on the stone to be used
in the state monument and let the
bid to the Butler-Ryan company Of
st. Paul, they will come in for the
usual approval or condemnation as
their action may suit. For instance,
Minneapolis is loud in her condem-
nation, more likely for the reason that
st. Paul parties secured the contract,
while st. Paul is equal loud in her
approval. The country press is some
what divided, with a general salts
faction in the majority.
As for us we would have much rath-
er seen all home material used. Yet,
under the circumstances, we do not
see how the commissioners could have
done otherwise, The maximum APP
preparation was SOL 900, and there

Atwater must be a lovely town to
run newspaper in. Because the
Press won't be dictated to by few
business men Of opposite political
faith, it is alleged that they attempt
ed to demolish the office, and from
all appearances are shielded by the
officers of the law. The marshal
passed the office several times the
night Editor Spencer's typewriter
and dictionary were demolished and
lying on the sidewalk and made no
attempt to investigate, which looks
very much as tho he knew or did not
want to know who the culprit is. 1t
is dastardly act, and the perpetra-
tors should be made to suffer the full
penalty of the law The business
men and lawabiding citizens of At
water should be proud Of such a
newsy and thrifty enterprise as the
Press despite the fact that it adheres
to the populist and free silver doc
trine. This is supposed to be free

WHY 1t CAME.

Now that prosperity has returned
there will doubtless be differences of
opinion as to the cause of its coming.
Some will give all credit to the tariff,
and others will claim Wall street
doomed wheat and brought prosper
ity just to help Mark Hanna in Ohio.
To be honest in the matter, we think
the chief cause of the return of pros
perity is that the time had come for
it. The human mind can't stay bent
in one extreme position for more than
four or five years at time, and the
reaction must needs follow So pros
perity is with us. AS helper to this
reaction is the feeling that the tariff
and money standard are settled for
four years at least. It doesn't matter
nearly so much whether we are under
the Wilson bill or the Dingley bill as
it does that the agitation is over and
and we have something certain for a
period of years. Then, too, the rise
in wheat has knocked last years sill
yer argument silly, and the vast gold
discoveries in the Klondyke and else
where has given it a second blow and
put it to sleep. But whatever the
cause, prosperity has come and its
influence will soon be manifest in
every nook and corner in the land.
So let the gold bugs and the silver
bugs bury the Ratchet and join hands
to share the prosperity, pay their
debts and lay by something for a
rainy day. Truly we have been in
the Slough of Despond since '93, and
now that we are out of it anyone who
pulls back in the harness is worse
than balky mule. Nothing is so
good as an experience meeting to stir
up Christian resolves, and SO pass
along the word that our ships are
coming in with the tide. When you
get full of glory, go and pump your
heart full of joy,-Bede's
Budget.

difference of $4,000. The Butler.
Ryan Company's bid was $696,000,
the foundation to be built of ST.
Cloud granite, the walls Of the build
ing of Georgia marble and the dome
of Kettle river sandstone.
In view of the fact that they could
not get all Minnesota stone, they did
the next best thing. They only get
the marble in the rough state, and it
is shipped here to be trimmed by
home workmen. So in fact the part
secured outside of the state is but a
small part of the 100000 building
Another point is that the contract is
let, and it is all over, and there is no
use harping about it for the next six
months to come.
The Georgia marble is white with
cream tinge and slight clouds Of
blue and gray, which give it great
brilliancy, and will give Minnesota
