Checking System Applied to Babies.

In some of the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked like
so many umbrellas, while their moth
ers pursue the Elusive bargain from
counter to counter. A small boy is
detailed to stand guard over a certain
number of infants. The small boys
and the infants have not been asked
for an opinion, but the mothers are
enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system as ap-
piled to babies has appeared in a new
form. Brooklyn being recognized as
the City of Churches, the new devel-
opment is naturally along the eccles-
iastical line. The Rev. DIR. Wiley, OF
the Nostrand Avenne Methodist Epis-
copal church, is the originator of the
scheme, and the mothers are once
more the gamers. A large room has
been fitted up with hammocks and
cribs, perambulators and toys. Here
a volunteer committee of young
women assemblies every Sunday morn
ing, and here the mothers, who would

can be adjusted to fit any foot and
clamped in place bya lever at the side
of the base.
In new jack-screw for raising
heavy bodies the spiral ribs inside the
frame are replaced by series of steel
balls which mesh in the grooves on
the threaded shaft and decrease the
friction as the shaft is turned.
A handy hitching post has a spring
drum inserted at the top, on which is
wound cord with snap hook at the
outer end for attachment to the bride,
the spring pulling the rope into the

A TEST OF ABILITY.
A Weman Nominated for Prosecuting Attorney
as Joke and Elected,

N'S
The secthing OF Michigan's political
pot has not altogether subsided in con-
qucncc OF the recent election. 1t still
bubbles and hisses, and all because of
Il woman. The lady in the case is
Mrs. Merric l.. Abbott, whose election
rs Prosecuting Attorney of Ogemaw
county by the silver Democrats has
brought her fame and no end of
trouble.
The fame lies in the fact that she is
the first woman ever elected prosecutor
in Michigan, or in the world, for that
matter. The trouble is that the Re-
publicans allege that her election was
brought about by fraudulent means.
The county went Republican, the
entire ticket being elected with the
exceptions of Mrs. Abbott ard the
county clerk. Mrs. Abbott was nomi-
mated by the silver Democratic county
convention as Joke. Now the joke
is on the jokers.
She made canvass of the county
such as had never before been known.
Bright as steel trap, a ready speaker,
witty and attractive in appearance,
she won votes by sheer strength OF
her personality. She says she will
serve her term, but others think differ
emily.
Attorney General Maynard says she
will have to get an Endorsement from
the Supreme Court first, and Dean
Hutchins, of the law department of
the University OF Michigan, says she
is clearly ineligible under the consti-
tuition.
1t is more than likely that she will
have to fight her battle in the Supreme
Court before beginning to prosecute
the law breakers. She is graduate of
the law department OF the University
of Michigan. She is clever, clear
headed lawyer, and is more than n
match for most of her contemporary
members of the bar. She is eloquent,
and it is a very ungallant jury that
can stand out against her arguments.
Mrs. Abbott is an ardent free silver
ite and can discuss financial topics
with great glibness. The prosecutor
elect carried on her own campaign un-
der the direction of the Ogemaw coun-
ty committee. She went on the
stump and drew immense crowds.
Her speeches were witty and bright,
and she made votes wherever she went.
But it is said the Republicans will
challenge the regularity of the vote in
West Branch, so Mrs. Abbott will have
more than the ineligibility question to
answer before she can come into her
own. Mrs. Abbott polled II very big
vote in West Branch, and WAS sup
posed to be sure winner until several
townships gave big majorities for Har-
rls, her opponent. Finally, when
there were but two more townships to
hear from, the two candidates were a
tie. One of these townships gave Mrs.
Abbott thirteen majority. and the 9TH
er gave Harris thirteen majority, leav.
ing the contest n tie with all the re-
turns in.
Then, it is alleged, the West Branch
inspectors broke the seal of the ballot
box in which the tickets had been
placed after being counted and made a
recount. This, strangely enough, gave
Mrs. Abbott majority of six greater
than was shown on the first count,
and that, too, in spite of the fact that
the total vote was less on the second
than on the first. These six votes rep
resent her majority in the county.

made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are two grades of clothcspins,

can he bought for 81 cents a box. The
production of clothcspins is enormous,
millions OF boxes annually. The CON
sumption i'll this country keeps pace
with the growth of the population,
and great numbers are exported. Even
people in the trade wonder what be-
comes OF all the clothcspins.

in which they could raise their fami!-

While it il conceded that system
q! forestry reservation for the conSer-
vation oi the rainfall and the pre>erva-
ton of our timber, not only iOr its
economic uses, but for the intimate
connection that the forests hold with
agriculture, commerce, climate and
health, it must also be conceded that
reason and judgment should he exer-
cised in all things. There may he 4
reason why the Olympic mountains
proper should be set apart as a national
park for the preservation OF the noble
game that make it their home, and
where the tourist could spend his
summer outing in his own country in
the enjoyment of views of panoramic
beauty that cannot be surpassed on
the continent; but there are no good
reasons why the reservation should
have been extended to the sea coast,
taking in fertile lands and the homes
of the pioneer. BY the time these
lands can he brought into state of
cultivation the whole country will
need its agricultural! resources more
than it will need the timber. In the
meantime its timber will be utilized in
supplying the demands that it will be
necessary to make upon it, and the
rich bottom and bench lands of the
Olympic will then make thousands Of
happy homes.

OLYMPIC RESERVE.
SOME IDEA OF ITS EXTENT BY A
PRACTICAL CRUISER.
1t Has Wrought Hardship on People Who
We're Blazing the Road of Prosress-l;s Ef.
feet Upon Promising Communities.
I.P. W. Shelton In the p. /.

|. +. W, Shelton In the P.-I.
The establishment OF the Olympic
forestry reserve was one OF those mis-
takes that are sometimes made by
we'll meaning but impractical theorists
who ride their hobbies on all occasions
and under all conditions and circum-
stances. That there was Il lack of
judgment used by the commission in
their recommendations as to the boun-
daries of this reservation will be shown
in this article. 1t is also evident that
there was lack OF reliable informa-
ton in regard to that part of the State.
1t seems that if there had been any in
quiry made by the commission in re-
gard to the agricultural possibilities OF
the country west Of the Olympic range
of mountains, the fact that it was ca
pable OF supporting dense population
when cleared and fitted for farming
purposes could have been readily es-
tablished.
There is more good land west of the
Olympics and along the shores of the
Pacific ocean than there is in Mason
and Kitsap counties combined. Every
river and creek putting into the ocean
from Cape Flattery to the southern
boundary of the forest reserve has more
or less rich bottom land, and is capa-
BILE of Supporting farming communi-
ty varying in extent according to the
size and length of the stream; besihes
there are large tracts of good rolling
and hill lands of dark clayey charac:
ter that only need clearing up and a
couple of years cultivation to make
them produce equal to lands OF like
ch haracter in other parts OF the State.
A number of the larger streams and
rivers now have settlements scattered
along their banks from the ocean back
to distance of from ten to forty
miles. There are ten or twelve small
rivers having their sources in the
Olympic mountains and their foothills.
Four of these, the Quinault, Queets.
Ho Cor Ohalet) and Quillahute, are
equal in size to the rivers emptying
into Puget Sound, with the exception
of the Skagit and Nooksack, besides
numerous small streams and creeks.

seasoning well together, melt table,
spoonful butter, add the chicken.
Boiled Sailed Dressing
Place the yolks of four eggs in
small double boiler; add four table
spoonfuls oil, while stirring constant
ly; then add four tablespoonfuls
white vinegar; place it over the fire;
stir till thick; remove and when cold
add slowly four tablespoonfuls of oil
more; then add one tablespoonful of
salt, two teaspoonfuls sugar, one table.

half pint whipped cream.
Potato DumpIinss.
Boil eight peeled potatoes with one
quart water, one tablespoonful of salt
till done, then press them through a
potato press; and one tablespoonful
butter, mix we'll and let stand till cold,
then add two heaping tablespoonfuls
flour, the yolk of three eggs; form
this into small balls the size of an
egg; roll in flour and boil in large
saucepan of salted water ten minutes,
remove with a skinner and serve.
Aayonnaise.
Put into bowl the yolks OF two
eggs; add one even teaspoonful salt; /;
stir three minutes; then add drop by

thickens add a few drops of vinegar,
about half a teaspoonful in all, the
same OF lemon juice and little dry
mustard. Cayenne pepper may be
added if liked. Add if handy one cup
full of whipped cream, or you may
prepare the boiled salad dressing
which is also a mayonnaise.
Points on Health,
Hop pillows are great comfort to
nervous people and headache is often
soothed thereby.
An exceedingly nervous woman, il
she has u liking for onions, should
crafty it. Two or three eaten with
bread and butter before going to bed
are fine sedative.
When one is overtired or worried
and cannot sleep, being gently rubbed
all over with towel wrung out of hot
salted water generally has the desired
effect.
In the Sick Room.
Do not ask the patient what he
wants to eat. Ask the doctor what he
should cat; prepare it daintily.
Change the bed linen as often as pos
sible. Once day is not too often.
In making the bed be sure that the
under sheet is stretched tight and
smooth. Wrinkles in the under sheet
cause continual discomfort. Keep the
medicine bottles, glasses and spoons
out of sight of the patient. Every
sick room should be provided with y
small bottle cabinet, where medicines
may be kept. If this is out of the
question, couple OF swinging shelves
curtained in silk may be used.

and one pint of flour with three tea

This estimate does uot include the
Makah and Quinault Indian reserva-
tions, which lie within its limits and
which aggregate about 100000 acres,
making a grand total of 2,52l,.
600 acres-a body of land nearly three
times as large as the State of Rhode
Island. Of this amount about 100000
acres had been surveyed (outside Of
the Indian reservations) and upon
which there was at the time OF the
proclamation setting aside these lands
for forestry purposes numerous settle
ments, and neighborhoods that had
begun to look homelike and thrifty.
In the Quillayhute valley there are
farms that have been cultivated for
over twenty years with comfortable
dwellings, orchards, grain fields and
hop yards, the product of the latter
being the only thing that could be
i shipped to their nearest markets at a
profit, owing to the lack Of roads.
Until about five years ago hops we're
canoed down the river and shipped in
small sail vessels and steamers to Sc
atile, while live stock were driven out
over the old Pysht trail.
On the surveyed portion there were
twenty-seven postoffices, to-wit: Blinn,
Exa, Piedmont, Fairholm, Wineton,
Collins, Beaver, Tyee, Bucyrus, Swan,
Ozette, Hoko, Royal, Suez, Albright,
Shuwoh, La Push, Boston, Outlay
mute, Forks, Bogachiel, Clearwater,
Queets, Evergreen, Quiniault, Lake
Cushman and Sappho.
Besides these there are the Offices OF
!! Neah Bay and Granville, on the Ma
kah and Quinault Indian reservations.
OF these Albright, Bogachiel and Suez
have been discontinued since the es-
tablishment of the reserve, owing to
! the settlers becoming discouraged and
leaving. Since 1891 the counties of
Clallam and Jefferson have expended
| in this part of the country large sums
of money building wagon roads and
expensive bridges, until the people
were beginning to see their way to bet
ter things and to feel that their days
of isolation were drawing to close.
They now feel as if they were exiles
with no prospect of reaping the bene-
fits that they have right to expect
from their years of labor and priva-
tions. Large numbers of people who
had but recently settled there have al
ready left. Others who have spent
much time and labor on their homes
will stay until they get title to their
lands, and they, too, will leave. They
know that there can be no new acces-

How to Clean Varnish.

Take equal parts of strong alcohol
and good oil of turpentine, and heat
this mixture in bottle by placing it
in hot water. With this warm liquid
paint the article, whereupon the old
varnish will dissolve at once. The
v"rnish is removed by scraping and
wiping, and the spreading, scraping
and cleaning are repeated as often as
necessary until the surface has be-
come entirely clean again, so that the
object may be rendered glossy or dull
as desired. This process is especially
recommended since it does not
change or attack the color of the
wood, as is often the case if lye is used.
