Miss Balfour, the sister of Arthur ].
Balfour. government leader in the
house of commons, is noted for her de-
votion to her brothers interests, and
she manages most of his affairs so as
to leave him entirely free for his po-
litical work, says the Detroit Free
Press. She not alone superintends the
household in the conventional way, but
looks after outside details which are
usually left to the supervision and ,di-
rection of the master of the house. Mr..
Balfour is never bothered when the
chimney needs attention, the roof re-
thing or any matter of this kind. Miss
Balfour attends to defects and gives
the orders herself She also buys the
horses and carriages and is said to be
well qualified for the work and good
judge of both horses and carriages.
Recently she had n special brougham
made for her brothers use, attending
to the details herself AS an instance
of her care and interest, it is said that
if there is possibility of her brother
needing a conveyance and she desires
to take a drive the best carriage and
the first coachman will be left for Mr..
Balfour, and she win take the second
carriage and second coachman.

to whiten fish or TO redden a crab. Then

these have gradually ceased to weigh

The walters outftters are prepared to
supply man with anything he needs to
enable him to wait on table, anywhere, at
any season. or course the waiter must
have for use in some places a dress suit.
but there may be places where he should
wear black jacket and places or seasons
in which he would wear white Jacket.
And again there might be places where
he would wear an apron. White ties
are of course provided by the walters

of celluloid or of paper, as best calcu-

one himself, but he could hire dress

use for them, the waiter would be pretty

LOVES POWER.

As far as are the heavens from the earth
Is your own world from mine
The world which you adorn by right of birth,
By right OF beauty, womanhood and worth,
In which your talents shine,
Wherein you nobly won what you've acquired
And now as ne'er before,
Are loved by young and old, sought for, admired,
Welcomed at every door.
And yet you tell me that did you not know
The love that fills my heart
The love for you ever strive to show
From my own puny world so far below
From yours SO far apart
That were it not for this you could not be
To Others what you are;
That you are so from what you are to me,
From my true love and care.
Such is the power of love, that like the rays
OF summers golden sun
lllumines our two worlds through all the days
And, though our lives may follow parted ways,
Still keeps our hearts as one.
One heart in duty. sacrifice and love,
One heart in truth and right,
Till in the happiness that lies above
Our two worlds shall unite

The supreme issue in the dem

mental, issue is the silver or money
question. The latter was a vital is
sue four years ago, but hardly merits
serious consideration in the present
campaign. No one should allow him
self to be deceived on this point. Re-
publicans, however, by minimizing the

at is not strange that the populists
should oppose militarism and Imperialism,
for both are antagonistic to the principles
which populists apply to other questions.
Looking at questions from the standpoint
of the producer of wealth, rather than
from the standpoint of the speculator the
populist recognizes in militarism a con-

of wheat, is not nearly so dangerous an
