New York Commercial Advertiser.
The coal question has various phases for
the housewife, and one of the things which
vex her soul is that the ''smuts" from the
chimneys that are now filled with soft
coal smoke ruin her furniture and cover her
possessions with veil of greasy black SCOT
Various means of preventing the soft coal
dust from entering the more delicately fur
nished rooms are being thought out by in
genious women.
One woman whose bedroom is hung with
pale-hued chintzes and has white fur rugs
on the floor has already tried and found
successful muslin screen or SITTER"
which is stitched to a light wooden frame
made to fit into the window sash when the
window is open. The air, but not the soft
coal, passes freely through this muslin, and
II the screen is used whenever the win
dow is open the muslin soon proves how
much dirt and dust have thereby been pre-
vented from finding their way into the
house. Another suggestion is to have a
sheet of plate glass with beveled edge for
the top OF the dressing table. This is easily
kept clean and the daintiest of toilet covers
is kept fresh beneath 1t, while the crystal
or silver toilet articles look as well on
the glass on the silken cover.

The Wounded FIags.

The wounded fiagsi They bear them
Aloft to-day in pride
The living ones. who share them
Alike with those who died
The flags that family futter
In cadence with the drum,
AS though they sought TO utter
Their JOY that peace has come
The wounded flags! We hold them
Far dearer than the rest:
Close to our hearts we fold them
The flags by tattcrs blest:
The flags with shotholes gaping,
That tell their tale Of strife,
To-day are gently draping
The ones who cling to life.
The wounded flags, How proudly
They futtered in the days
When drums were thiumming loudly
And ffes sang warning laysi
How brave was all their glowing
Where fierce the wsr-guns spoke,
Their stars forever showing,
A beacon through the smokei
The wounded rags! We hail them,
And reyei In each hue,
Though age and time may pale them.
And red blend into blue.
Though all grow dark and duller,
Yet in their every part
We see the living color
That thrills the Nations heart!

CANNING TO RISE AGAIN
DESERTED TOWN IN so. DAKOTA
,Tyyas a Pet of William Penn Nixon
Who Doomed 1t In EARLY
Days.

Special to The Journal.
Miller, s. d., Jan. 3O.-Canning, q rail-
way town on the edge of the reservation
east of the river. is having boom on
account of the influx of new settlers. For
years the town has been almost blank
in commercial life. In 1885 1t sprang
into prominence almost in day. The
boom then was caused by the opening to
settlement Of the tributary reservation by
President Arthur. Soon where the virgin
prairie had been, appeared a bustling
town. with two newspapers. two banks,
and big hotels.
Only few weeks Of this strenuousness
continued, for Grover Cleveland, who
stepped into the White house, in an evil
moment declared the reservation had been
illegally opened. and ordered it closed.
This proclamation killed Canning and left
distress in the wake of the set lers on
the adjoining land, many of whom were
evicted by soldiers.
The town was soon deserted, newspa-
pers, banks, etc., hauling down their
signs. Among those who sunk money in
Canning town lots was William Penn Nix
on, who had doomed the townsite in his
Inter-Ocean, taking lots for pay. and
whose influence was largely instrumental
in having the reservation opened. The
town will have no such growth this time,
tion from the dead to the three or four
who have remained to hear again the
rumbling Of the caravan.
