Sandy could not bid farewell to his
associates at the ranch or the citi-
zens of the little COW and mining
town on the Big Horn without part
ing "blow out" in which his health
was drunk dozen times an hour.
Oh, that he had that money now in
stead Of certain unpaid bills in that
ravished secret drawer! 1t was humil-
iation inexpressible to have to send
these men away empty-handed, and
in his detection and misery, poor
boy, he wandered to his sideboard
instead of going to luncheon at the
mess, and oil he had had to eat or
drink that day, by the time Mrs. Ray
and Maidie came late in the after
noon, was some crackers and cheese
and he didn't know how many nips
of that priceless Blue Grass Bourbon.
The bright, brave young eyes were
CLASSY and his dark cheek heavily
flushed when at four o'clock he
FASTENED out to assist his mother
form her carriage, and the color fed
from her beautiful face, her heart
seemed to stand still, and her hand
trembled violently as she noted it all,
but took his arm without a word,
and, with Maidie silently following,
went up the steps and into the little
army home, where the door closed
behind them, and the knot of lockers
on, officers awaiting the call for after
noon stables, glanced significantly at
each other, then went on their way.

stax A,vax Fro1n London.

Owing to the large increasing influx of Americans to London in search of work and the overstocked condition of the labor market the New York World correspondent is asked by representa- tives of American benevolent societies to draw the attention of Americans at home to the virtual impossibility of getting work here. Written testimoni- als are useless. Besides, it is impossi- ble for the unsuccessful applicant to work his way back on steamer or sail ing vessel without some knowledge of a sailors duties. While the Americans in London are desirous of assisting their fellow countrymen in need by helping them to return home, it is im- practicable to assist an ablebodied man who comes here on the lookout for work. Timely notification of the fact may deter many from journeying here to suffer untold hardships.
 Cattle men constantly tell tales of be- dng dumped down here and refused re- turn passage, which, they assert, was guaranteed to them before starting.

How to Clean Clothes.

A saturated solution of borax and water rubbed on with a sponge, then followed by clear water, will remove a glaze, the result of wear, from black goods.
 Rorax is one of the best things for she removal of grease spots from wool en goods. A cleaning mixture of which it forms an important part is made by dissolving one ounce of powdered borax in one quart of boiling water and set ting it aside to cool. When quite cold, add one ounce of spirits of camphor, and it is ready for use.
 For some cleaning purposes the ma terials are commonplace articles to be found in every household. A cut raw potato may be turned to good account when you get mud stains on your black dress. The mud should be left to dry before any attempt is made to remove 1t. Brush it off as thoroughly as you can after 1t has dried and then # any stains remain rub the cut surface Of a raw potato over the spots.
 To remove grease spots from silk moisten the spots with chloroform and rub with cloth till dry.

USES OF PARAFFIN.
How It Aids the Hous ekeeper I'm the
 Practice of Economy.


 No product of petroleum has great CT variety of household uses than re- fined parafIin. This is because it ex- cells any other known product in the ideal quality of its service and it's econ omy of price.
 As housekeepers become acquainted with it's virtues they find that nothing else is as clean or as pure or as taste less or as o1orless. Moreover, it is not affected by air, acid or water. 2is
 Prominent among the many uses to which 1t is now applied are for sealing cans in preserving fruits and jellies, in laundry by rubbing on irons and mix ing with hot starch, for coating wood- en vessels, preserving eggs, flowers and autumn leaves, for polishing floors and making wax flowers.
 In sealing cans the paraftin wax should be melted and a layer about one.eighth of an inch thick poured over the top of the preserve, allowing it to stand until the paratfin becomes hard, when 1t will form a sealing absolutely alright. No other covering is necessa- ry. When the preserve is to be useds the paraffin should be loosened by rum ming a knife around the edge, after which the wax can be easily removed. Jellies and fruits sealed in this manner retain their natural delicious favors and are effectually protected against mold and insects.
 In scaling bottles the cork should be forced into the neck of the bottle in order to form shallow cup on the top. Then fill this cup with melted paraffin. allowing it to harden.
 In the laundry about one-half tea cup of paraffin shavings put into boil- CT Of hot water gives dainty white ness to the linen and other wash fab- rics. It will not injure the most deli cate fabrics, and by its use the family washing can be done in about one-half the usual time, and it saves the neces- sity of hard rubbing and scrubbing. Irons can be kept smooth, bright and clean by rubbing them on a piece of paraffin coyefeNt with muslin, and luster will be- given to the linen by mixing a small piece of paraffin with the hot starch. Laundry tubs ice cream freezers-in fact, all wooden vessels when coated with parafin- will last much longer than ordinarily.-House- hold Gazette.

Gompers Has a Plan.

A Chicago dispatch states that Pres ident Gompers has plan for prevent Ing strikes and lockouts. Briefly the Idea is to have all labor unions afidIiat- cd through national organizations with the American Federation of Labor. As fast as number of these independent or nonafiliated unions have become parts of their nationals, and national unions in existence desire it, the Amer lean Federation through its general of flee in Washington and in the name of that national or international body will communicate with the large employers of that particular craft, proposing a conference between the officials of the employers organization, if there be one. If no employers organization exists, then it shall communicate with large manufacturers, dealers or commercial bodies interested, and whose members are large employers of labor, asking them to meet and bring about some agreement or understanding fair to both.
 These agreements, if made, are to cover the usual questions of hours of labor, wages, conditions of employment, etc. While it is planned that these agreements, when reached, be signed by both parties to it, no other bond than the word of honor of both faith fully to carry out the same is to be given.
 Employers associations are expected to see that their members carry out their part, while on the part of labor the American Federation of Labor will compel it's affiliated unions to do theirs or cancel their charters.

How to Eat According to the Rules
 of Good Breeding.
 Do not leave your spoon in your tea. cup. Crack the top off your egg in. stead of peeling it.
 If you have bacon or fish, have sep. arate plate for your bread or toast and butter, but not when only having boiled eggs, which require very careful eating, by the bye, as nothing looks so nasty as yolk of egg spilled all over the plate and egg cup.
 Do not sip your tea or coffee with a spoon.
 Do not drain the cup.
 For fish do not use a dessert knife instead of the fish knife. If there be no fish knife, use small crust of your bread, but leave that piece of crust on your plate. Do not eat it afterward, as so many people do.
 Do not be dainty and fringe your plate with bits of meat. Eat what you can and put any skin or bone on the edge of your plate in one little heap, which move down from the edge when you have finished.
 Do not crumple up your table napkin. If you are only guest TOT the day, do not fold it up, but if you are staying on and in a quiet household fold it up. If you are staying in big house where everything is done len grand prince,' '' do not fold it up. Just place it on the table when you leave, as in rich estab- lishments there are clean table napkins every day.
 After eating 1t is well before you drink to wipe your lips, otherwise you leave a smeary mark on the glass.
 Do not gulp liquids and bolt food.
 Do not masticate or swallow audibly.
 Do not pile your plate with food or grasp your knife, fork or spoon as if it were weapon of warfare.
 Do not scrumble the bread by your side or drain your glass to the last drop. -< .
 On the other hand, do not be affected and eat as if an appetite were crime, drink as if you were dicky bird and hold your knife, fork and spoon as if they were redhot needles.

THE PLUTocRATlc TRAMP.

 Especial Correspondence.I
 Kansas needs and is advertising for 20,o00 men to help gather the harvests which are now grow ing upon her fertile prairies,' but not tramp in all New Jersey will start for Kansas, at least not until after the harvest is gathered-Elizabeth <N. J) Journal, May 24. Journal tells the truth. Strange how these tramps ignore chances like that! Why can't they see and do what is. for their good? suppose the Elizabeth Journal thinks if these tramps were wise and good and, above all, enter prising each would order his private special car and journey out to Kansas and add to his millions by helping the Kansas farmer gather in his crops.
 The Elizabeth Journals comments reminds me of a little story: A certain well to do man who did not believe in giving money to tramps once departed so far from his principles as to give a nickel, accompanied by the question, What are you going to do with it?' The tramp studied over the problem for some seconds and then answered sol emnly, "Pm going to invest 1t in gov ernment bonds." Whether the sarcasm of the thing penetrated the self com placency of the munifcent donor l do not know. Of course the tramp told lie, for the obvious reason, if for no oth- CT, that our government does not fur fish any place for cent investors.
 But, seriously, how does The Journal think the tramps could get from New +a +ad &n go? Have they money to pay car fare? Gan they fly? Should they steal a ride and get killed for their theft or should they walk? If the latter, they would probably find those nearer home were there before them, for, as The Journal we'll knows, there are many more than 10000 idle men between New Jersey and Kansas. Every strike shows to all who are not blind that there are men waiting for work, for they come to take the strikers places.
 The shallow way in which some newspapers treat the tramp problem makes me weary. As Lizzie M. Holmes once wrote, Some people seem to think tramps ought to float around in the air, except when somebody wants them to come down and do a dirty 90 cent job for 10 cents" She hit 1t about right.
 Has The Journal taken any pains to know how much it costs to go from New Jersey to Kansas, how long the job would be or how much the pay?
 If The Journal man would seriously study the tramp problem, remember ing of the tramp what the abolitionists used to say of the slave, "He is man and brother" he would learn some things that would make a better man of him. CELIA B. WHITEHEAD.

How to Clean Embossed Leather.

Turpentine is recommended by a wo- man who has tried it as satisfactory cleaner for embossed leather. It should be applied with soft cloth. This removes the stain, but slightly stfffens the leather, which must be made pliable again by rubbing briskly with crude oil. Use a very little oil and go over the piece with clean cloth upon which there is no oil, as care must be taken to get all the surface grease off to prevent soiling the clothes.
