THE cattlemen of the northwest
have been complaining for many
years about the growth of poison
GUS weeds upon the ranges, and
last summer the secretary of agri-
culture sent out couple of bota-
nists to make an investigation.
They found six plants of a poison
GUS nature growing wild in differ
ent parts of the territory, all fatal
to cattle Antidotes were discov-
cred for three of them, but the
other three thus far have no cure.
The department is now engaged in
a thorough investigation of the
subject and will be able to make a
detailed report within few weeks.

PLATFORM.
Whereas; The citizens of the
city of Florence are called together
in the face of long, and many
political injustices, practiced by
the old political parties, who have
manipulated the affairs of the
city's government for patronage
rather than for the best interests
of the citizens of Florence, they
have repeatedly disregarded the
expressed will of the people; they
have disregarded all appeals made
by the working people to the ex
tent that home labor has suffered
therefrom,
Therefore, with our trust in AL
mighty God for our divine guide.
and in the common sense and in
tegrity of the workingmen and
women of the city of Florence for
our human guide, we appeal to all
lovers of political liberty to assist
us in this movement which we
conceive to be solely in the in
terests and for the benefit of our
citizens, and with equal rights to
NIL and special privileges to none,
we make the following declaration
of principles
We pledge our candidates to a
faithful observance of the princi-
pies of this platform
We declare ourselves emphatic
ally in favor of an eight hour day
for all municipal work.
We declare in favor of the
municipal ownership of all public
utilities, and especially that of
light, and pledge our candidates
to work INCREASINGLY to that end
We favor just and economical
administration of all branches of
the city government, conducted
upon broad business principles, to
the end that the material intere ts
of every citizen of Florence will
enhanced as greatly as possible.
We pledge ourselves in favor of
a just and equitable enforcement
of all city ordinances and strict
enforcement of all sanitary condi-
tons.
We favor home industry and the
patronizing of all home institutions
and to that end emphatically con
demn the employment of non
resident labor, to the exclusion of
home labor, and pledge our candi-
dates to the faithful observance of
the provisions of this resolution.

Hints for housewives.

Artificial light for evening work should
be made as steady as possible, and be so
placed that IL will not come opposite the
eyes, as in this situation it is dazzling
and injurious. Ground glass globes should
not be used, for, although valuable in
an ordinary room, where they tend to
diffuse the light more equally, they give
an indistinct light for work and put a
considerable strain upon the eyes For
the same reason ground or ribbed glass
should not be employed for the lower
portions of windows.
Never dry a wet shoe near the fire. In
stead, rub it well with flannel cloth and
then with vaseline. A good plan is to
have box that will hold about a half
peck of oats, and then, after applying the
vaseline, to fill the shoes with oats, shak-
ing it well down into the toes, standing
them away to dry gradually. When thor
oughly dry the oats can be put back in
the box for future use.
To polish wood, take a piece of pumice
stone and water and pass regularly over
the wood until the rising of the grain is
cut down. then take powdered tripoH and
boiled linseed oil and polish to a bright
surface.
To make an ink which will copy on dry
paper. mix together aniline black, water
bic, parts; ammonia alum, 16 parts; gly-
cerine, 1000 parts, and water enough to
make 1900 parts.
Crocus must be planted in October to
insure spring blooms. 1t makes a fine
appearance, if thickly planted upon a
lawn. Make cut with a spade three or
four inches deep in the sod, tuck in a
couple of bulbs and press the sod back
into place with the foot.

THE NEW ENGLISH WOMAN.

Ihefe is one essential in which English
women far excel those of the United
states, and that is their intelligent COM
prehenslon of great political questions
The English woman of position must
know politics, and be able not only to
talk, but to help in the canvass, if her
services are required, as they usually
are. In a parliamentary canvass the
women, on both sides, work vigorously
making houSe-to-house visits and sneak
/ ing from the huStings, and the result of
an election is to them a matter of vital
Importance. The two great political or
CARNATIONS to which both men and
women belong have a membership run
ming up into the hundreds of thousands
and one or the other includes almost
every woman of rank and distinction in
the United Kingdom.
1t is not generally understood that all
women fate-payers are qualified to vote
in municipal elections throughout Eng
land, and that thousands of women vote
in London for the county council,
through which almost the entire govern
ment is administered The elections are
held in the town hall of each parish and
the voting of the women attracts no com
ment or attention, each elector walking
IN at the front door, casting her ballot
and walking out at the rear door, With
their increased political privileges, they
have been chosen to important public Of
f1ces, upon school boards and boards of
guardians. In 1898 six women served
upon the London school board, being rep
resented in all the most important COM
nlittees.
In these capacities they have proved
themselves so conscientious and efficient
that there is marked disposition not
Only to increase their representation, but
to extend their jurisdiction in many d.

RIGHT WAY TO MAKE BEDS.

Makers Skill Is shown in the Lay
ing of the Counterpart.
wen known man has said: There
are two things woman should know
before she thinks of marrying-first, how
to black stove and keep it looking
neat; second, haw to make a bed''
TO know how to black a stove is much
the easier task. Not one woman out of
hundred can make a bed right, and
nothing is more unattractive to the eye
or more uncomfortable to sleep in than
poorly made one
The clothing for a properly made bed
should consist of two sheets, twelve
inches wider than the bed, one double
wool blanket, one white counterpane ana
two pillows.
The mattress should be turned over
each day. and the bed thoroughly aired
for at least an hour before it is made.
be sure the mattress is on straight Now
put on the first sheet which should cover
the mattress well. Tuck the top in first,
then the bottom, and, after all the
wrinkles have been smoothed out, tuck
it securely in at the Sides
The laying of the second sheet is i'm
portant, and, by the way, don't forget
that the wide hem always goes at the
head of the bed. There are two things
to bea" in mind when adjusting the sec
oIlu Sheel FIRST, let the top or 1t come
about six inches from the top of the mat
tress, bearing in mind that, while a
mass of superfiuous sheet is not desir-
able, at the same time there should be
enough to make it unnecessary to draw
the blanket over it to cover the sleeper S
shoulders.
Put the blanket on next, the folded end
at the bottom, the separated at the top.
The upper edge of the blanket should lie
two or three inches below the hem of the
sheet, to prevent the woolly material
from contact with the face
The laying of the counterpart is proof
of the bedmaker's skill. There must not
be ~'lle in it, And if the foundation
work OF the bedmaking is correctly done,
the counterpane, will! present beautiful
ly neat and taut appearance.
Tuck the counterpart in well at the
bottom, so that it will come at the totp
just even with the blanket. Let it hang
loose at the sides, and make a neat over
fold of the upper sheet at the top.
The pillows must be well shaken and
smoothed, and carefully set in place.
These directions carefully followed will
result in bed that, to use the homely
expression of the good housewife, will
do your heart good just to look at it,

PARIS IN SHORT SKIRTS.
Dainty Farisiennes Now show Their
Feet and Ankles.

There has been much talk about the
adoption of short skirts by the women
of Paris.gIt is%said that they looked ia
Vorably upon them during the cxposf-
ton, but ,;were adverse to taking up a
style SO distinctly American.
One thing is certain, however. the
wearing of short skirts last year in the
French capital has had a tendency to
shorten all Partisan walking costumes.
Not that they have acquired the ankle
length so much affected by Americans,
but that much lace, ruff1ing and "frou-
frou'' have been dispensed with.
AS winter advances it is not strange
that superf1ueus trimming becomes a
nuisance when it mingles with slush and
snow. By rumor we are assured that the
walking skirt will be remodeled to suit
the individual Parisienne; for French
women have the courage to plan their
clothes for special becomingness, and
not in accordance with any fad or fancy
She wants ito look her best, and this is
what makes her toilet pleasing.
The dressmakers have made a bold at
tempt to substitute silk and velvet gowns
for afternoon functions in place of the
natty and useful tailor suits, but they
cannot succeed while tailorS are bringing
out such rich costumes in choice shades
of gray and tan. For women who use
the street cars 1or walk to and from 5
o'clock teas = the. light broadcloth is d

WIS Tribute to Women
