SCHOOL AND OFFICE TABLETS.

Only two kinds of tablets are sold at the Democrat office, the W. E. D. and the Moonstone, price five cents. The former has sixty sheets of paper, letter size, while the note size has 100 sheets. The W. E. D. gives as much and perhaps more for the money than any tablet in town. We also have a ". E. D. composition book, with sixty leaves, inclosed in a neat and tasty cover. 1t costs but 5 cents also. Par ents who want their children to get the most for their money should see that they use either the Moonstone or the W. b. D. The Moonstone is lit- tie better and larger than the ordinary 5-cent tablet, and we have that also in the note size and in composition book. The paper is ruled and is good enough for pen or pencil, and every tablet has a neat front cover and blotter. The composition books, which can be used for almost anything where writing pa per is required, are encased in neat covers.

Nowadays is really the only topic of conversation you can hear.

Some people will say. "How in thun- der do they know how much is miss ingEn Such people do not know how much they themselves lose every year. The manufacturer has his scales and has every thing weighed that comes into his establishment, and 1T found short, you, bet they refuse to pay TOT what they do not receive It should be the principle in every household in our city; every one should have handy little scales that won't take up much room and yet do you good ser vice. If you had one you could weigh everything you purchased. If you find q shortage, just go back and de- mand your rights and then tell the Tel low who cheated you what you think of him. Let him know you are ''onto his game and you'll find at the end ot the year that your scales is the best paving article in your house. Well, 1T you want just such scales we've got them. and while they last you can se- cure one with only two pounds of our warranted good Baking Powder, 4oc per pound. The regular price of the scales is $1. therefore you see the bar gain you can get by purchasing your Baking Powder at

HARDWOOD FINISHING.
How to Treat Polish ed or Oiled Floors
to Keep Them In Good
Order.

Hardwood floors that have been i'm
properly or carelessly finished are
vexation to the spirit, says the New
York Tribune. The best way to fin
ish such floor is with wax, if there are
abundance of servants in the house
who can go over the floor with waxing
brushes and wax it until it has ac-
quired something of the perfect polish
of European floors. These floors which
are seen abroad have often been pol
ished for centuries, and in modest
homes, especially in a land where
there is a dearth of servants, it is i'm
possible to have floors polished to per-
fection with wax. The next method
of finishing them is filler and three
or four coats of superior shellac, each
coat being properly rubbed down be-
fore another is applied. This takes
time, and only superior quality of
shellac can be used, as cheap varnish
cracks off and leaves the wood bare
and without finish. 1t takes a con-
siderable time to rub down the sue
cessive coats of shellac; workman
without conscience is apt to slight this
part of the work, but it is fatal to
the success of the work to do so. 1t
costs a good deal to finish floor in
this way, and if it is covered in the
greater part with heavy rugs it will
last for long time and look nearly as
well as wax, while it is very little
trouble to keep it fresh and clean by
sweeping it, with a bag of coarse fan
mel tied over the broom, which is
really dusting. Kitchen floors of hard
wood should be oiled. Different paint
ers have favorite ways of their own of
finishing. Some painters rub care
fully down to the wood, insisting that
the finish should be in the pores of the
wood, not on the outside. The secret
of a successful floor finish depends
more on the rubbing in than upon
the material used, though poor mate
rials will ruin any floor. No matter
what materials are used, if the floor
is not laboriously and steadily rubbed
down, it will be a disappointment. If
there has been inferior shellac that has
been worn off with use, the floor must
first be thoroughly cleaned and then
finished over.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

Mark Hanna's calm that he rep
resents the labor element in work
ing for the ship subsidy bill has a
shade of humor that the laboring
man will not appreciate.-St Louis
Republic.
If Mr.. Hanna fails to get that
ship subsidy bill through, those con-
tributors to his campaign fund, who
expected to be more than reimbursed
by means of this predatory piece of
legislation, may refuse to allow him
to have the pleasure of running an
other president.-Kansas City Times.
Thomas B. Reed, in his charac-
teristic drawl, propounded this conun-
drum when in Washington: "If kill
ing 10000 t1npinos in ten months. as
our soldiers are said to have done,
is benevolent assimilation how many
must the Spanish have killed in 3o0
years to warrant us in calling their
rule of the archipelago tyrannous?"
Republican.
The ship subsidy bill is bad in
principle, and it is dangerous even
in the methods by which it proposes
to put that principle into effect. Un-
less the senate has more respect for
Hanna's political authority than it
has for the American people it will
keep the subsidy bill where it is and
devote the remaining time of the ses-
sion to the transaction of necessary
business.--Chicago Record Qnd.).

SHIP SUBSIDY CAMPAIGN.
only Sordid1y Selfish Motives Behind
the Plan to Levy Extra
Taxes.

Ihe champions of the ship subsidy
bill now pending in the senate have
opened a bureau" from which it is
proposed to issue literature in the in
terest of the cause We are to have
an educational campaign, and our
Would-be educators are going to tell
US what fine thing it will be for US
all to tax ourselves in order that men
ike Grlscom and Rockefeller may
make more money. 1t seems to US
that this is one of those cases in
which publicity is the least to be de-
sired, from the point of view of those
who are interested in the proposed
grab. The trouble which even now
confronts them is that the people al
ready know too much about the bill,
its purpose and certain consequences.
We believe that the ship subsidy
doctors will find it exceedingly diff
cut to convince the American people
that there are any other than the
most sordidly selfish motives behind
their movement. They may talk in
their large way about the ''insignifi-
canoe" of the bounty asked for, but
after all it is $9,O0O,0OO a year which
it is proposed to take from the peo.
pie and hand over to a few men inte r.
ested in allied corporations which are
worth hundreds of millions of dollars
The people understand, too. that III
spite of amendments. the bill discrim-
mates unwarrantably in favor of fast
passenger steamships, that carry com
paratively slight cargoes, and that it
was intended so to discriminate, be-
cause the men back of it are interest
ed in fast passenger steamships
More than all this, there is a feeling
that this government has already
gone as far as it should go in taxing
the people for the benefit of private
industries. Millions and millions of
dollars have been expended in this
way, and the men who have paid the
bills are wondering whether the time
will ever come when they can be re-
lieved of the burden they have been
carrying for years. They have, on
the protective theory, cheerfully con-
tributed to the Creation" of great
oSNiANo, Oh1p " SCC lhOoC 1lANAup
tries combine for the purpose of ex-
torting more money from them in ar
tificially advanced prices. When,
therefore, it is proposed, after al
that has been done. to take each year
$9.O00,000 of the peoples money and
hand it over to men who are engaged
in the management of great trusts
and monopolies, including the Stand
ard Oil company, one naturally won
ders whether the thing is ever to
stop.
So it seems to us that the ship SUBJ
sidy bureau will not have an easy job
in commencing its pet scheme to the
long-suffering and heavily taxed
American people. The wisest of the
republican leaders. those who are
really in touch with pubic sentiment,
are opposed to the subsidy, for they
not only understand that there is a
strong feeling against it, but they see
that it is not fair to tax the people
for any such purpose.-Indianapolis
News Qnd.).
