In ornamenting summer cottages Q

cover it with ebony paint and gild the

To stiffen sheer haudkerchiefs,
Iaces, wash silks, or any other thin
fabric, it is best to use gum arabic
starch. To make it, put into q bottle
one ounce of gum arabic and pour
over it one cup of cold water; stand
the bottle in a dish of cold water and
place it over the fire until the gum is
dissolved; then strain it through a fine
sieve or piece of cheese cloth into an
other bottle. When it is cold put in 9
half gill of alcohol, and it will keep
and be ready for s when needed.
When dainty laces are to be stiffened,
half a teaspoonful of the starch, mixed
with q small cupful of water, will give
the lace ample stiffness, adding 8
larger amount of the starch as it is
needed for different fabrics.

While an earnest advocate of sun
light and fresh air, Miss Nightingale
dared to draw upon herself the dis
pleasure of the doctors by declining
the general opinion that night air is
injurious, a fallacy of the most absurd
sort. 1t is through her influence and
publicly expressed belief that London
sick people dared to sleep with their
windows open. Said this advanced
and thoughtful woman:
"What air can we breathe at night
but night air? The choice is between
pure night air without and impure
night air within. Most people prefer
the latter-a most unaccountable
choice. In great cities night air is
often the best and purest to be had in
the twenty-four hours"
For her magnificent services in the
Crimean war Florence Nightingale
received not a dollar in pay above the
actual expenses which she incurred,
and the $3.50, 600 given to her by the
British government was donated by
her to the establishment of the Night
ingale Training School for Nurses in
st. Thomas hospital, London.

little band of assistants broke down a

The Atlanta Constitution says its
party has committed blunder in
opposing the annexation of Hawaii,
which it calls "naval, military and
commercial necessity" It says, too,
that "the Republicans will make the
best possible use of this bad break on
our side" This is all true. The
Democrats of the House who attemp
ted, in caucus. to commit their party
against Hawaiian annexation, and a
large majority of whom voted against
it, have made it easy for the Republi
cans to win the congressional cleo
tons this year. Bland, Bailey, Bryan
and other Democratic leaders who
have come out against annexation
will be ashamed to take the opposite
course now that they are about to
discover that an overwhelming ma
jority of the people are in favor of
that policy. Their party, throughout
the canvass this year, will be put in
the attitude of hostility to any cxpan-
sion of the national domain as re-

Pittsburg Dispatch: "The fact
that two nephews of the president,
John DeWalt Barber and James F.
Mckinley, have been mustered into
the volunteer army as privates ought
to set at rest the growing about 'peo-
pie with pulls receiving appoint
ments," says the Philadelphia In
quirer. On the contrary it should
have the effect Of calling more point
edly the attention of the people to
those cabinet members and senators
who have not had decency enough to
follow the presidents example. With
this specimen of true patriotism the
other public men who have demand
ed commissions for their families at
the cost Of the army should be very

On the question of imperialism,
Secretary of State Olney holds The
opposite ground from that occupied
by his late chief. While Cleveland
stands with Bryan in opposition tc
an enlargement of the national do
main, even to the extent of annex
ing Cuba or Porto Rico, which be-
long to the American continent, Oh
ney is SO thorough an expansionist
that he would evidently favor the re-
tention of the Philippines, the Caro-
lines, the Ladrones, the Canaries OF
any other territory in the Pacific or
Atlantic which we may wrest from
Spain. Apparently large and stead
lily growing element of the Democra
tic party is with the ex secretary and
against the ex president on this ques-
ton. If, after the war is ended, and
a careful survey of the situation is
made, the Republican party declares
itself in favor of holding these dis
tant conquests, if they are made, the
Republicans will probably have more
Democrats on their side than they
had even on the honest money issue
in 1896.-Globe-Democrat.

and Blue Appears.

and Blue Appears.
Up in northern New York, O new
caterpillar has been discovered. Its
color is of BLUSH shade above and
below, with dull red sides and row
of white spots along the back. The
head is also blue. It is doing great
damage to the trees through all the
great forest region in that part of the
State. It eats the leaves of the for
est trees and builds it's nest against
the trunks of trees or beneath the
larger branches.
Clisiocampa Sylvatica is its scien-
tlfic name. It natures about the
middle of June, and after that goes
into cocoon to hatch into a heavy
brownish moth, which deposits eggs
on the twigs of trees. These will
hatch next spring.
This caterpillar has not been in the
State before. Next year they will be
still moro abundant unless something
is done to preveat their development.
