An Idea for Stair Carpets.

Stair carpets will wear considerably
better if the tread" is shifted Occa-
sionally-say every three months or so.
For this reason it is necessary that the
carpet should be rather longer than the
actual measurement Of the staircase.
The extra material can be tucked in,
top and bottom.

also breed up quicker and stronger in
the spring, and consequently will
swarm earlier and gather more surplus
honey. A double-walled hive will cost
q little more, but it is good invest
ment. 1 have tried both kinds side by

walled hiyes.-F. G.. Herman.

Nice Breakfast Dish.

A very nice breakfast dish is made
from potatoes and bacon. Butter a
large baking-dish and fill it with lay
ers of raw potatoes sliced and seasoned
with pepper and salt, and alternated
with layers of thinly sliced bacon. This
should be baked in quick oven. When
done. it should come out a solid cake,
brown and crisp on the outside and soft
within

To Make Good Polishing Cloth.
Take old pieces of cotton or linen too
much worn for further use, put them in
a saucepan and pour over quart OF
milk, to which two ounces of powdered
borax and one of ammonia is added;
set over the fire and let boil fifteen or
twenty minutes. Take up, rinsins
quickly in cold water, and dry before
the fire or in close room. Fold these
cloths away in a drawer or box and use
to polish silverware, tin or bronze.
The combination of milk, ammonia
and borax will produce a brilliant pol
ish, and make old ware rubbed with it
as bright as if new.

Highest Wage Rate Ever Known.


An advance of 10 per cent. in wages
to more than 10000 employees of the
National Tube Company is to take
effect April l. This is the second in
crease Of 10 per cent. granted by the
same company within six months and
makes the wages of common labor
higher than at any time within the his
tory Of the works. The tendency all
over the country is to advance wages
to the highest point ever known. Not
only that, but to give steady employ
ment to by far the largest number Of
wage-earners ever found at one time on
the pay-rolls of the industrial institu-
tions of the United States. To do just
this thing was one among the pledges
made four years ago on behalf of the
party of protection and sound money.
The Bryanites said it could not be
done and that a cheap dollar was the
only thing that would put an end to
the awful paralysis inflicted upon the
industries of the country as result of
four years of Cleveland and tariff re-
form. Mr.. Mckinley said that the first
thing to do was to open the mills. The
country took this view of the matter.
Result, the highest rate of wages ever
paid and the largest amount of steady
employment ever known by wage
earners.

Got All of His Titles.

Some time ago a Chicago man decided
to name his infant daughter Eulalia, in
honor of the Spanish Infanta says an
exchange. And having done so he
thought 1t would be the proper thing to
inform the Princess of the honor he had
paid to her. He therefore wrote to her
on sheet of his Office paper, and address,
ed it, "Infanta Eulalia, Spain, Europe"
adding the word Europe to prevent the
letter from going by mistake to SPAIN
S. D. In course of time he received a
reply from the 1nfanta, in which she gra-
ciously thanked him for the honor that he
had done her wished her little namesake
all happiness, and at the same time de-
sired that her assurance of distinguished
and profound consideration might be con-
veyed to the people of Chicago. The let
ter was beautifully written on superfne
paper, with the royal arms of Spain blaz-
oned thereon in colors 1t was the direc-
ton of the envelope, however that most
excited the admiration of all who beheld
it, The address ran:

Denver, according to the New York Tri-

and prices received for claims in the

to get at it. Lonely and out of spirits just
at sunset he stood at the door of his
cabin looking for the last time over the
scene of his useless efforts, when down
the winding trail came a stranger astride
of a broncho. Taking in the situation at a

His Horrible Fright.

A man was going home to his wife and
family, says the Columbian. His road
from the station was a lonely one. and
he was getting along as fast as he could
when he suddenly suspected that a man
behind was following him purposely. The
faster he went, the faster the man went,
until they came to a churchyard
Now" he said to himself, "I'll find out
if he's after me-" and he entered the
churchyard.
The man followed him. Vague visions
of revolvers and garroters grew upon him.
He made detour of a splendid mauso-
leum. Still the man was after him, round
and round.
AT last he turned and faced the fellow
and asked: What the dickens do you
want? What are you following me for?'
well, sir do you always go home like
this? l am going up to Mr.. Browns house
with a parcel. and the porter at the sta
ton told me that if I'd follow you I should
find the place, as you live next door. Are
you going home at all tonight"

TOO MUCH POLITICS IN THE GoEBEL

Republican papers appear to be trying TO
create the impression that no reliance
IS to. be placed on the evidence given by
the leading witness against those who
are under arrest charged with being &c
eessories before The fact.
The Philadelphia Press, for instance,
says that until Mr.. Goiden's statements
are corroborated they will be received
with a good deal of reluctance. Dis
patches in Republican papers from Louis
vile, Ky, are calculated to create the
Impression that very little confidence is
placed in Mr.. Goldens testimony there.
1t may be true of course that Mr.. Col
den is being influenced by the 100000
reward, but the chances are that If he
is not telling the truth it will be shown
that he is not when the defendants are
brought to trial. 1t will not be of any
benefit TO the accused parties to attack the
CfelDlltN OF the Witnesses at AblS otcies'
Of the prosecution. 1t Is noticeable that
the Democratic papers are not expressing
any opinions respecting the revelations
made by Mr.. Golden. They appear 10
take the position that it IS better to let
the accused parties be tried by the courts.
The effort 10 get the national govern
ment mixed up in the Kentucky trouble
has not been abandoned. It is alleged that
the war department has been asked to
order the guns which the militia Of each
party are using, to be returned 20 the
custody of the United States. 1t is also
the plan of the Republicans 10 carry the
Governorship case to the United States
Supreme Court. If the general govern
ment avoids becoming entangled in the
trouble, it will be fortunate. The Pres
ident wants to keep out of II because
no one can forsee what the outcome of
interference would be or what effect il
would have on the presidential election.

a HIDDEN DANGER.

1t would seem that with the enormous
profits which American steel makers are
enabled by the tariff to earn, as witness
Mr.. Tricks statement of the profits of
the Carnegie Company, they ought to take
pains to put steel on the market that
would be above criticism. Nevertheless,
according to the expert testimony of the
Engineering and Mining Journal, nearly
all of the Bessemer steel made in the
United States" is made by the acid pro-
cess" and many of our rails are too brit
tie to be quite safe, and an increasing
number of accidents from this cause
may be expected" The reason, according
to the authority quoted, is that under the
high-pressure demand for rails there has
been an increasing percentage of phos-
phorus in rails now being manufactured.
until the danger point has been reached
1.-The cheapness- of the Bessemer process
and the scarcity of ores have induced
steelmakers TO use in Bessemer steel phos-
phorous materials that should not be pass

are also placing in jeopardy the foreign
market for rails which has been so active

that the rails are too brittle to be quite
safe" and should there be an increasing
number of accidents from brittle rails.
the foreign purchasers would become sus-
picious Of the American product and de-
cline to buy it. They would prefer to pur-
chase rails that were not too brittle for
safety even though they We're obliged to
pay more money for them. Consumers in
this country, however, might be forced to
take the questionable stock the tariff be-
ing used to force them into submission.
Meantime the American people will be

public is entitled to ride on a rail that is

DIRTY MONEY AND DISEASE GERMS

IF the bubonic plague ever strikes this
country" said an intelligent gentleman
interviewed recently by the New York
Tribune, "our paper currency will beat
all records of rats as germ carriers. A
dollar bill can do more than ten rats"
There is probably little danger of the
breaking out of the bubonic plague in this
country, owing to the constant vigilance
of the quarantine authorities; neverthe-
less the observation of the gentleman
quoted is full of sound sense. The old,
filthy bills of the paper currency should
go, and in their places should be pro-
vided clean and wholesome bills. Through
out a number of states there is a present
a visitation of small pox. While that dis
ease is not so deadly as the bubonlc
plague, 1t is more loathsome and hardly
less 20 be dreaded. And the pulpous,
greasy, porous Old bills are the very sort
of vehicles for the transmission of small
pox germs. The patient suffering with
the disease handles the bill, it becomes in
fected. the dirty paper furnishes a iodg-
ment for the germs. the bill is passed on
to other hands, and the recipient of It
gets full 1edged case of smallpox along
with his dollar.
And besides smallpox, there are numer-
Gus other contagious diseases-diphtheri
consumption, itch, etc.-the germs Of
which may be- and no doubt are often
spread by dirty paper money. 1t was
stated recently upon reliable authority
that a scientist had taken 81 BILL some
what the worse for wear but still no
dirtier than the average bill in circula-
ton, and subjected it to a microscopic
examination with the result that he
found upon it the germs of a number
of diseases, several of them the most
loathsome and disgusting known. Still,
that bill was no worse. no more danger
GUS no more dsreputable, than thousands
of its kind that are passed from hand to
hand every day.
Is there a remedy? One never sees dirty
paper money in England. The bills there
are always clean and crisp. The reason
is. that a bill is never reissued. When it
| reaches the place of its issue, by deposit
or otherwise, it is burned and a new,
fresh, clean bill is put into its place We
need a law like that in this country.
! There is no good reason why
we should not have clean paper currency.
Printing is cheap. The banks make
enough on their circulation TO warrant a
requirement of clean bills, and the treas
i ury could easily be made to burn up its
dirty bills and replace them with clean
ones.

Your Cigar.

From the Baltimore American
A chemist says he's analysed very good
cigar
And Iearnedly he tells us just what its
ingredients are;
Acetic acid, prussic. too phenol and nico-
tine
Some sulfuretted hydrogen, a dash of pic
olene.
Valerianic acid and ammonia, so he
wrote,
With acid proprianic and a trace of creo-
sote.
But he didn't find the essence that will
set a mind az peace,
And he overlooked the tincture that gives
care a swift release,
He missed the oil of happiness that keeps
the fire a-gleam;
And doesn't mention how the smoke will
float you to a dream
OF happy days and good old friends. until
in 1t you trace
The graces and the dimples of a well-re-
membered face.
He didn't find the reason why so manv
fancies are
Wrapped up in such a package as that
very same cigar;
He found a smal-sized drug store. hut
somehow he couldn't catch
The comfort that one can secure il he
applies a match
And though he found the acids and the
other queer-named stuff,
He couldn't trace the pleasure that there
is in every puff
