How to Clean Embossed Leather.

Turpentine is recommended by wo-
man who has tried 1t as satisfactory
cleaner for embossed leather. 1t
should be applied with soft cloth.
This removes the stain, but slightly
stiffens the leather, which must be
made pliable again by rubbing briskly
with crude oil. Use 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
OF to prevent soiling the clothes.

How IL Aids the Housekeeper In the
Practice of Economy.


No product of petroleum has a-great-
er variety of fehouseholdl uses than re-
fined paraffin. !. This is because 1t ex-
GELS any other known product Fin the
ideal quality of'its service and its econ
omy Of price.
AS housekeepers become acquainted
with Its virtues they, find that nothing
else is as clean or as pure or as taste
less or as odorless. Moreover, 1t Is not
affected by air, acid or water.
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 paraffin wax
should be melted and a layer about
one-eighth Of an inch thick poured over
the top of the preserve, allowing 1t to
stand until the paraffin becomes hard,
when 1t will form a sealing absolutely
alright. No other covering is necessa-
ry. When the preserve is to be used.
the paraffin should be loosened by run
ming a knife around the edge, after
which the wax can be easily removed.
Jellies and fruits sealed I'm this manner
retain their natural delicious fiavors
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 1t to harden.
In the laundry about one-half tea
cup of paraffin shavings put into a boil
er of hot water gives dainty white
ness to the linen and other wash fab
rics. 1t 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 piece Of
paraffin covered 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 paraffin-will last
much longer than ordinarily.-House-

REDUCING SOUTHERN REPRE-
SENATTION.

While there is considerable sentiment
in favor of reducing the representation
of the South in Congress, the outlook is
that no serious attempt to carry out the
reduction will be attempted by the pres
ent Congress- The Hampshire Gazette,
published at Northampton. Mass, in it's
issue of December 18th, has an article
upon this matter, extracts from Senator
TIarleys paper, the Hartford Couranr,
which are significant. We quote the Ga
zette's editorial:
"The stalwart Republican Hartford
Courant, while acknowledging that Con-
gressman Moody and others are right,
logically in proposing to reduce the rep
resentation in Congress of those South
ern States which have changed their con-
stitution so as to disfranchse the ne
groes, condemns the movement. They
have" it declares, 1.-The logical end of the
argument That must be freely conceded
by every fair minded man, no matter
how earnestly he deprecates their pro-
gram. The language Of the Fourteenth
amendment is plain, and there cannot be
two honest opinions about it's intent. F"
Nevertheless the Courant strongly OBJ
jects I'VE share" it says, 1.-The belief
of the late President that the trampling
out of the lembers of sectional politics in
1893 was the most benefcent service rem
dered by his administration to the coun-
try We share his belief, in those clos
ing years of his life which brought SC
much of breadth and insight and mellow
wisdom with them, that the Southern
States and their people-white and black
must work out their own salvation, ami
that further congressional meddling
would do harm, and only harm, and that
continually.
WE BELIEVE THAT TO REDUCE
THE REPRESENTATION OF ANY
SOUTHERN STATE AT THIS TIME
WOULD BE SHORT SIGHTED, BLUND-
ERING, EVIL-MINDED POLITICS-BAD
FOR THE COUNTRY, BAD FOR THE
NEGROES THEMSELVES, AND, INCI-
DENTALLY, VERY BAD FOR THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY. WE DON'T WANT
TO SEE THAT MISCHIEF DONE; WE
ARE SORRY 1T HAS BEEN PRO-
POSED"

Cherry Tree Facts and Figures.
charlotte Observer

In a communication in todays Oo-
server Mr., J. o. Bell, of Henrietta,
throws some new light on the cherry
tree business, especially in connection
with the statement of Rev. 7. Bright
that everything was straight during his
administration of it, Mr.. Bell demon
strates that this is not true. 1t is quite
interesting to note that after having
made S4 500 out of the business, the Rev
Mr.. Bright prayed over the matter and
found himself recalled to preach. IN
willing to allow a few cherry trees to
stand between him and his God, he SOLD
out and resumed the work of the Gospel
ministry, leaving sundry women who had
sent him S12 apiece under promise OF S2o
a month for writing at home, with the
bag to hold The Baptist denomination
will no doubt deal with his case He IS
now dividing the Word on the other side
of the ridge. His son. Frank Bright,
made 1850 out of the business in less
than thirty days, when he was seized
with a sudden impulse to move and tried
to sell out to Mr.. Bell, who, declining TO
buy, he unloaded upon his old man and
went to Florida. The Observer is IN
formed that the young man Wilkie raked
off $4,000 before he unloaded. He has
since applied the endless chain principle
to his job printing business in Ruther-
fordton We are further informed aud
believe that first and last this cherry
tree concern enjoyed receipts under its
various arrangements to the amount of
900. 1t may be that if suits were in
stituted now for the purpose of making
the different fakirs disgorge, it would be
found that they have so disposed of their
loot that it cannot be reached and that
the poor women whom they have victim
lied would realize nothing, but there is
a saying that while one can't get blood
out of a turnip the turnip can be put in
JAIL and this, in this case, would be d
very excellent alternative:

TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR
POOR BOYS.

Allusion has already been made in
these columns to the wise suggestion OF
Mr.. Richard H. Edmunds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, upon the import
ance of giving industrial education to
the youth of the South who lack the
means to secure an education. In al! the
Southern States the suggestion has met
with favor The only difficulty of put
ting it into practical operation at once
is the ever-pressing cause of illiteracy
that impedes the progress of the South
in all educational advancement, to-wit:
the lack of money Among the words of
approval of the suggestion of Mr.. Ed
munds we give the following from DR..
George I. Winston, president of the
North Carolina A. & NJ. College, which
is located in this city.
II have read with great interest and
pleasure your address before the South
ern Cotton Spinners' Association at At
lanta The plan of endowing scholarships
for technical education is admirable, and
/ hope to see it Endorsed practically by
many of our successful manufacturers.
Il have no doubt that our colleges will
do their part. Speaking for this college,
l will say that the college will supply
free tuition and lodging to all needy lads
who may be recipients of scholarships
established for this purpose. The sum o.
S125 will be sufficient to meet all other
annual expenses, including board, fuel
and lights, clothing, books, tools, draw
ing instruments, ETC.; in fact very
economical lad, who is willing to work
during spare hours, could manage to get
through under this arrangement with
800 per annum.
ut is beautiful to see how anxious our
boys are toFget an education and to help
pay for it by work. We paid out last
year about 400 in small sums to work
ing students. If we had had it, We could
easily have paid out $4,000 the same
way. One of our students arrived here
at the beginning Of the session last year
with only $50. During the year he re-
ceived no money, except as wages Tor
labor performed during spare hours.
At the end of the year, having paid all
his expenses, he went home with $27 in
his pocket. He is with US again this
year, and has brought his brother, who
is equally Industrious and thrifty. OF
335 students on our roll. full 300 are of
this. sort. On Saturdays almost every
agricultural student in the college spends
the entire day working on the farm. We
give no compensation for such work, as
it is part of our instruction. The work
which we pay for is done at odd times,
during play hours, and is the sort of work
that we would hire laborers to do. The
two great needs of the South today are
Industrial education, to provide skilled
labor and technical knowledge, and pos
tai savings banks, to stimulate thrift
ahd economy and provide capital.
1.-THE white boys of the South are by
no means lazy. They are ready, willing
and anxious to work, but they do not
know how to do skilled work; and / re-
greet to say that there is not adequate
appreciation, either by our legislators or
by philanthropists, of the necessity of in
dustrial and technical education.
Il hope your excellent address will be
widely disseminated"
