TO MOUNT PICTURES on GLASS.

No doubt we all have one or more pic
lures which we would like to see framed,
yet hardly feel like going to the expense
of purchasing frames for. These may be
mounted at slight expense in the following
manner, and present very pleasing APP
pearaDce.
Procure pane of glass l inch or more
larger all around than the picture, says an
exchange. Give the face of the picture a
very thin coating of varnish or enamel,
then place it exactly in the centre of the
glass, face down, exactly where you wish
it to remain. With soft cloth press the
back of the picture carefully until it adj
heres perfectly to the glass and every air
bubble is removed. DO not move the pic
ture the least bit after having once placed
it on the glass.
To finish the edge of the glass and pro
vide for hanging, procure four brass rings
a little smaller than silver quarter.
With a pair of pincers bend them exactly
across the centre, forming perfect cres-
cent, allowing just room for the corner of
the glass to enter the space between the
wires. Place crescent over each corner
of the glass and connect them with pieces
of small brass chain along the edge of the
glass. They may be hung by a bit Of a
chain.
The margin of clear glass may be deco
rated with hand painted vine.

Household Hints.
TO KEEP THE HANDS SOFT.

One of the best preparations for keeping
the hands soft and white is mixture of
glycerine and vinegar, to which little
perfume may be added, if desired. After
the hands are washed, dry lightly, and
While still damp, rub on little OF the
mixture. This may be used with excellent
results by people who can not use the
giycerne alone the vinegar neutrallzlng
the unpleasant effects Of the glycerine.
FRANCES E. wILLARD's HEALTH RULES.
The following are the Golden Rules of
HEALTH" established by her father, which
Miss Willard followed in her girlhood;
Simple food, mostly vegetables, fish
and fowls.
"Plenty of sleep, with very early hours
for retiring.
''Flannel clothing next the skin all the
year round; feet kept warm, head cool,
and nothing worn tight.
Just as much exercise as possible,
only let fresh air and sunshine go together.
enc tea or coffee for the children, no
alcoholic drink for anybody.
Tel the truth and mind your parents.
USE FOR OLD PILLOW COVERS.
Old liuen pillow cases that are worn to
the verge, but not over it, of breaking in
places, may be slipped out of the linen
closet and put aside to be used as bags, in
which valuable winter garments may be
safely put away. Any place that is fret
ted through should be re- enforced with
piece of old material, either cotton or
linen, and when the coat or gown is care
fully brushed to see that absolutely no
moth egg or creature is left in, it may be
inserted. The ends of the case are then
slipped in the machine and closed tightly.
Thus protected it is safe to keep the gar
ment in bureau drawers, few pieces of
lump camphor being tossed in as an addi-
tional safeguard.
PILLOWS CAN BE WASHED.
Feather pillows need washing at least
once year, for they can not be used con-
stantly without accommodating dust and
dirt. Choose IA bright, sunny day for the
| work, and gentle breeze helps them to
dry quickly. Fill large tub half full of
water that is almost boiling hot, and dis
solve enough pearline in it to make good
suds. Put in one or two pillows accord
| ing to the size) and move them about,
pushing them up and down and rubbing
! them between the hands until they are
clean. If one suds is not enough, use
| two, rinse i'll clear, warm water, wiring as
| dry as possible and hang them on the line.
| When they are dry, shake them well to
| keep the feathers from sticking together
and they will be as light and soft as new
! pillows. L. j. C..

be badly crippled for five years at
least and Ell Paso compelled to submit

Difficulties.
The citizens committee held q meet
ing last night at the Office OF Hon.
Leigh Clark in the Mundy block to
protest against the five year contract
awarded by the council, Thursday
night, for the lighting of the city. The
primary object Of the meeting was to
organize q movement in opposition to
the contract and if possible to induce
the mayor to veto it. After the
committee had assembled, however, it
was then discovered that any effort to
procure q veto would be useless, as
several of those present said that
Magofin had already affixed his sigma
ture to the contract. In fact repre-
sentatives of the Electric Light com
pany had been pulling at his sleeve
bright and early yesterday morning
and it required but little urging to in
duce him to put his name to the iron
Glad five year contract which would
terminate any negotiations the cltl-
zens' committee might have on loot
for lighting the city and building the
electric railway.
The citizens committee, which Is
made up of leading business men OF
the town, was exceedingly indignant
at the hasty action OF the council and
the unusual action OF the mayor and
proceeded to discuss the probable ef-
feet the letting of the contract would
have on the progressive plans OF the
committee.
81. Freudepthal said he and 9th
ers talked to the mayor yesterday
morning and he seemed an xlous to
please the business men of the com
munity by getting cheaper incandes-
cent lights for them. He then said
that if the merchants and others de-
sired it and would 60 express them
selves to him by petition, he would
veto the contract. It was for that
reason that the committee meeting had
been called.
2It was at this juncture that several
members spoke up and said Msgomn
had already signed the contract: In
fact had signed 1t early yesterday
morning.
Mr., Prudential was greatly taken
back by this Information and would
scarcely believe It. He went tothe tel
lephone and called up Magoffin's home
to verify the report but was informed
that the mayor was out looking after
his political fences, which have lately
fallen down at several places.
Mr.. McCutcheon declared that
Magofin had failed to stand by the
business interests Of the town and had
shown an utter disregard for the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Krakauer said the five year
lighting contract was the biggest out
rage ever perpetrated against any COM
munity.

Dieter and himself were appointed q

A. Pillsbury, the well-known miller,
died in this city yesterday afternoon
at five o'clock. On account Of poor
health Mr. Pillsbury went to Europe
December 1, 1898, and returned the
middle Of June. Since returning he
has been a patient Of DR.. Porter, OF
New York, and DR.. W. A. Jones, of
this city. The physicians agreed that
he was suffering from heart trouble
caused by an enlargement of the
stomach, which in turn was due to
overwork and insufficient physical ex-
ercise. During Saturday night he
complained Of great pain and physi-
clans were summoned. They remained
with him through the night and yes
terday until a short time before Mr..
Pillsbury died. He was conscious to
the end and talked to his wife and
friends who were present.

will serve us notice 10 Jne insurgents
that they are to be left to deal with
the United States army alone. There
will be no peace propositions and no
olive branches held out for Aguinaldo
or any of his followers. The recall Of
the commissioners is natural result
of the failure of the Philippine COM
mission. President Schurman of this
commission is in this country. Admiral
Dewey will be here in a few
weeks and there is no reason
why the other members of the
commission should remain in the
Philippines when there is nothing to
be accomplished 1t, therefore, has
been suggested to Col. DENLY and Prof.
Worcester that they might return to
this country and allow the next meet
ing of the commission to be held in
Washington before congress assemblies.
If the Investigations made prove Of
value, President Mckinley will embody
them in his report to congress. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether the COM
mission will present anything that will
aid the government materially in set
ting the Philippine question.
THE CONDEMNED SOLDIERS.
Washington, Sept lS-The secretary
of war in response to numerous re-
quests cabled Gen. Otis regarding the
two men of the Sixteenth infantry
who, according to the press dispatches,
had been condemned to death in the
Philippines. A reply was received last
night. 1t said there was third sol.
der now about to be tried in connec-
ton with the same case and that
when the court. martial was concluded
The papers would be. forwayed to the
department.. rne TWO men sentenced
are Corporal Damhoffer and Private
Conine, of the Sixteenth infantry.
Senator Foster, Of Washington, and
many others petitioned the secretary
of war to intervene and prevent the
summary execution Of the sentence. It
does not appear however, that the
case, which involves assaults on ma
tive women, is one in which the SEN
tence can be executed without first be-
ing reviewed by the department. The
papers cannot reach Washington in
less than 80 days. The name Of the
third soldier involved has not yet been
made public.
