A FIRM STANDARD.
The Gold Standard Is the WORLDS
Standard and Republicans
Will Adhere to 1t.

The republican majority of the house
committee on coinage has presented a
unanimous report in favor of the Hill
currency bill. The intention of this
bill may be best expressed in the Ian
guage of the report itself, which says:
THE purpose of this bill is to set at rest
al questions as to the existing legal unit
of value in this country and TO remove all
doubt in relation thereto to protect and
strengthen the credit of the United States
and the honor of its citizens to insure the
permanent EQUALITY and value in the hands
Of the people of every dollar of the United
States and of every kind of our currency
of the same denomination; to hold in free
and unhampered circulation all KINDS or
our present currency. and to provide an
adequate amount of circulating medium of
stable value to transact the business of
the country"
This purpose is evidently in harmony
with the ng-continued policy and with
the declarations of the republican
party. That party would favor a BIZ
metallic standard if ii were the worlds
standard, but as the worlds standard
is pcrsistently gold the republican par
ty would have the gold standard recog
nized by the law of the country, and all
kinds of currency made confOrmable
thereto. Hear again the language of
the committee on this point:
"a double bimetallic standard is i'm
practica cable-imposSible a bimetaliIc cur
rency is practicable and desirable, and is
promoted, strengthened and fortified by
this bill. We adopt gold as the standard
because 1t is the most stable in value and
hence the most just and safe standard by
which to measure other values. We pro-
mote the convenience of the people by
providing an adequate supply of both sill
Yer and gold in our currency, but we can
only do it with justice to them by protect
ing them from the possible depreciation of
silver in their hands, and hence we throw
about silver such safeguards, by limiting
its coinage and providing for it's exchange,
as will maintain it's parity with our gold
and paper currency"
The present senate is a bar to cur
rency Legislation. But this unanimous
republican report indicates that the
party is not afraid of the currency
question, and that its confidence is
based upon an adherence to the sound
principles that have guided financiers
the wcrlG over.-Troy Times.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.
dtion. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

A HELPFUL CORNER.
To Wash Doilies and Laces.

DoilieS, collars and such things
made of either crochet or knit lace
should not be Numbered with the gen
eral wash. but should be done sepa-
rately.
Being done so, is not at all the trou-
bic the inexperienced would think,
and saves one the trouble and worry
caused by careless or hurried wash
woman.
TO pailful of mot water put a Sin
gle spoonful of pearline, in which
suds soak the laces awhile, and then
wash Them by gently sousing and
squeezing, but not rubbing. Then
rinse in clear hot water and then
squeeze or press the water out; do not
wiring.
Place small pieces inside a folded
towel and large ones in a sheet and
with the lace we'll wrapped up gently
wiring all the water out that is posi-
bile.
Spread "a clean dry sheet or towel
over a table and with very clean
hands smooth and stretch the collar
or dolly or other pieces of lace to
their original shape, pinning all obsti-
nate points to the sheet. By the time
all the points are picked out the lace
will be dry, unless it is heavy crochet,
in which case it should be pinned to
clean smooth board.
No starch is needed, neither should
they be hung up to dry. M. M.

Kitchen Helps.

A farmers wife usually finds plenty
of work to dGfe,1-A any suggestion
that will tend to tighten the labor, or
shorten the time required for per-
forming it, is usually acceptable. If
you viii cover your kitchen table with
zinc or tin, you will find it easy to
clean, and it is not injured by Sc ting
hot kettles, or cutting bread or meat
cloth, but it wears a lifetime, and is
so much better in every way, that it
is the most economical.
The empty lard cans which your
grocer will sell for fifteen to twenty
five cents each, may be used for meal
and graham or buckwheat -four. They
are nice for keeping bread or cake,
and as they have closely fitting lids.
their contents are kept clean. Dried
fruit may also be kept in tin cans
with pieces Of sassafras bark scattered
through it to keep it from getting
wormy. Have a labe-. pasted on eN
cry can so that no time VIII be lost in
looking for tine article that is needed.
Tin oanisters should be used for tea
and coffee, and an earthen jar with
cover is good for keeping salt.
If you have a number of tin cans or
other milk vessels to wash, rinse them
whit cold water first to remove the
particles of milk that adhere to them,
then wash them in hot water con taan
ing enough pear.ine to make good
suds. This Thoroughly cleanses and
sweet tens Them without injuring the
tin as I've or sal soda is sure to do.
Wipe them dry, and keep them on a
Shelf where there is no daImpness to
cause them to rust.

meal or other cereals have been cook
ed, it is not necessary to fiji them full
of water to soak. Wet the inside of

Games for Growing Girls.

and girls friendly societies, often
seek in vain for some solution to the
constantly recurring problem: ''How
shall we amuse the girls who are too
old for childish games?"
The following suggestions, taken
from an exchange, may prove valuable
to those who would like a few hints
on this subject:
If, for instance, you desire to be-
come better acd tainted with THE
members of your Sunday school class
of growing girls, you cannot do better
than invite them to spend "a "sensible"
evening or afternoon, at your home.
AS your guests enter the parlor,
supply them with tiny pads and pen
CHS, and ask them to gather about a
table on which you have placed a
hundred little trifes from your bu
reau, desk, work-basket and wha t-not.
Give two minutes for this miscellane
Gus collection to be examined, and
then cover the table with a cloth and
ask the girls to write ON their pads,
under the head of 'sig'ht,'' the names
of as many articles as they can re-
member seeing on the table.
When all have done this, saucer
should be passed around containing a
mixture of sugar, salt, chocolate, pep
per, cinnamon, ginger, peppermint
and ground coffee, and every one in
Mted to taste the connection and
write down the names of all the in
gradients they can recognize. The
mix ture will not be unpleasant to the
taste and no one need be afraid Of it.
Next comes the test of smell. For
this all the girls Should be bEindfold-
ed, in turn, and bottles containing
violet extract, 'heIotrope, sachet, tur-
pentine, vinegar, oil of wintergreen,
cold tea, camphor, alcohol and carbol-
ic acid passed under their noses,
Again the pads are called into use,
that the names of the different odors
may be jotted down.
Although the sense of feeling is
usually acute, it is surprising how
many persons may be baffied by tying
up severa. familiar objects separately
in paper, and passing them about so
THAT all may have a chance to hold
eaCh ar,cle, and try to guess what it
is from its shape, and feeling through
the paper covering. A simple bal of
cord makes most deceptive package.
\ g,oNedarner, picture frame, fancy |
basket, candle, and a worsted slipper
ali make good parcels for this compe
t:tion.
LAST Of al comes the sense of hear
ing. Request ali the guests to be
seated, with paper, nnd pencil iii read
mess. and then play the first two lines
of ale choruses of number of popu-
ar and patriotic airs; allow one min
ute to e.aFse between each tune to
permit its name to be written. 1t is
surprising how tan takzingly the airs
SIP away as one tries to recall them.

MISTAKES OF LIFE.

Somebody has condensed the mis-.
takes of life, and has arrived at the
conclusion that there are fourteen of
them Most people would say, II they
told the truth, that there was no limit
to the mistakes OF life, that they were
like the drops in the ocean, or sand on
the shore in number, but it is well to
be accurate Here, then, are fourteen
great mistakes. IL is a great mistake
to sci up our own standard OF right and
wrong, and Judge people accordingly;
TO measure the enjoyment OF Others by
our own, to expect uniformity Of opn-
ion in this world, to look for judgment
and experience in youth, TO endeavOr
to mould all dispositions alike, to yield
To immaterial trifies, to look for per-
lection In our own actions, to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied, not to alleviate all that
needs alleviation so far az lies in our
power, not TO make allowances for the
intirmities OF Others to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form, to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp, TO expect to be able
to understand everything.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

Last Monday morning Phil Taylor
was sitting in his livery barn when he
discovered there was a smell of burning
cotton. Supposing that it was some
thing burning outside, he gave little
attention to it, hut was aroused 10 nc
tivlty by oneeS le,l.s-m-n VINO ran 10 and
asked what it was that was burning.
Then an investigation began that re-
vealed clear case Of spontaneous com
bustion. Last fall Mr.. Taylor had
packed "A large box with odds and ends,
among which was lap robe, and it
was in this box that the Il re was dis
covered. The box stood in one corner
of the barn under writing desk and
had lot of stuff placed on top. 1t was
where no one could get to il and yet
when discovered the fire had made
such headway as to destroy the lap
robe and backen portion OF the in
terror OF the box. Mr.. Taylor says
there were no matches and no greasy
rags in the box and yet the evidence is
undisputable that the fire originated
of itself and had it not been discovered
would have been the means of setting
the building on fire. There would
then have been another mysterious
fire that would have set the tongues to
wagging and innocent parties would
have been wrongfully accused. The
moral is that one cannot be too careful
in regard to fire.-Saranac Local

Barnes on Enforcement Of Law.

AS previously announced Rev. ID. r.
Barnes OF Detroit spent Sunday in this
city and held meetings in the interest
oil the Anti-saloon League and good
citizenship organization OF the United
States. Mr.. Barnes is a Methodist
minister, has been presiding elder,
and had charges in Ionia, Grand Rap
ids, Kalamazoo and other cities as a
pastor and is very talented and high
ly respected gentleman. He spoke in
the morning at the M. Il. church, in
the afternoon at the Baptist church,
and also at the latter church in the
evening, where union meeting was
held. He explained the objects of the
organization as being entirely non
partisan but founded for the purpose of
encouraging good citizenship and the
enforcement of law. Its motto is, ''The
Saloon Must Go Twenty-Five states
have already adopted the plan and have
branch leagues in many cities and
towns.
1t is doing vigorous work in spurring
up officials to their duty in prosecuting
violations of the liquor laws and the
laws relative TO houses of illfame. 1t
also has an eye on the maneuvers OF
the State Liquor League and is con-
stantly at work endeavoring to head |
of legislation which is attempted to |
be enacted in their interests whenever
legislatures are in session. The Liquor
League is backed with the power of |
'aloonism and an immense capital to
corrupt not only the morals of the
youth but to manipulate politics and
law and order. Mr.. Barnes
