The statement of Judge Prouty
which was given to some of the news
papers on Saturday in regard to his
attitude toward the congressional fight
in the Seventh district, bears out the
assertions made in this correspondence
a number of times to the effect that
the judge is not candidate for the
nomination this year nor has he been
at any time since the Polk county re-
publican convention. The judge has
been forced to make 1t very plain that
he meant just what he said in the Polk
county convention, and further to
make it plain that he is a republican
and seeks advancement in politics only
as a republican.
The inspection of national guard

The supreme court judges are all
here ready for the May term, which
begins tomorrow. All were here last
week at work on their cases except
Sherwin, who has not been very well
for some time. The first thing in or,
der will be to have the law commits
sion get to work on the class Of stu
dents desirious Of admission to the
bar. 1t is expected that the class will
not be a very large one. as the require
ments now are much greater than they
were year ago. The three-year rule,
instead of two years in college or
study, will shut put some. Drake uni
versity has law class and also High
land Park college and there will be
others ready to take the examination.
The committee on examinations has
prepared the list of questions and those
who are in a position to know hint
that the questions will be found very
hard this year.

Silk should never De Iolueu AWAY loi
ANY length of time in white paper, since
the chloride Of lime used in bleaching
the paper produces chemical change
in the silk and impairs the color. A
way to prevent silk or woolen turning
yellow is to place pieces of beeswaX in
with the fabric when putting them
away.
sauce to serve with baked ham is
made thus: Put into a saucepan over
the fire a heaping teaspoonful of butter
and an equal amount of flour; stir them
together until they are Drowned Then
gradually add cup of highly seasoned
stock and cox ten minutes. Add one
cup of wine or cider; stir until 1T is
hot. Then strain and serve.
A cheap floor stain is made by dis
solving two ounces of permanganate OF
potash in gallon of water. Use hot
water and stir with stick, and your
stair will soon be ready for use. Apply
1t with pair ter's brush, using two
coats of the stain. On. B.-Do not leave
your brush standing in the stain or it
will destroy IT'D Next day the floor
may be vanished, or, better still, pol
ished with boiled linseed oil, and the
third day with beeswax and turpentine.
After two or three polishings the floor
will be in excellent condition.
Paraffin is a great saver of time and
trouble in tie laundry. On the day be-
fore washing soak the clothes in the
ordinary way, well soaping the most
soiled places. Next morning add to the
water in the copper, when it boils, a
quarter of a pound of cut-up soap and
two tablespoonfuls of paraftin. Put the
clothes in and boil and hour. When
taken cut they will be found quite
white They must be thoroughly rinsed
and dried in the open air or a smell of
paraffin will be perceptible. This meth
Cd is especially good for clothes which
have become yellow from lying by.
Some people use a mixture of equal
parts of clear lime water, paraffin and
turpentine, shaken together till creamy,
instead Of paraffin alone, with the ex-
cellent result. Soft water should al
ways be used if possible.

PAYING a Debt.

The celebrated French poet Saint
Folk, who in spite of his large in
come was always in debt, sat one
day in a BARRIERS shop waiting to be
shaved. He was lathered when the
door opened and tradesman enter
ed who happened to be one of the
poets largest creditors. No sooner
did this man see Saint-Foix than he
angrily demanded his money. The
poet composedly begged him not to
make scene.
Won't you wait for the money
until / am shaved?"
Certainly" said the other, pleas
ed at the prospect.
Saint-Foix then made the barber
witness of the agreement and i'm
mediately took a towel, wiped the
lather from his face and left the
shop. He wore beard to the end
of his days.

A SuccessfuI Ruse.

A couple Of thirsty fellows who
had been loafing all the forenoon
on the quays at Stockholm were
struck with a brilliant idea. They
borrowed an old brandy key and
half filled it with water. Then one
of them slung it on his shoulder
and took it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had
been sent by one of the shippers in
port to have the keg filled with
brandy.
"The captain is sorry he only
got it half full yesterday and thinks
it would be better tc have it filled
to the top"
The keg was accordingly held I'M
der the tap till it was full, and the
fellow hoisted it on his shoulder,
but as he was about to walk off with
it he was stopped by the clerk, who
demanded payment for the spirits.
Hasn't our skipper running ac-
count ?"
Certainly not"
"Bless mel / must have gone to
the wrong shop There is nothing
for 1T but to empty half the keg
back again"
This was no sooner said than
done, after which our hero merrily
went III search of his companion.

How chameIeons Climb.

Chameleons always creep upward
wherever they may be. In window
they manage to cling to the frame
between the panes of glass and by
great perseverance get higher and
higher, never looking, but always
feeling for foothold and extending
pm turn each searching foot, which
moves cautiously and feels its way
until it manages to effect a grasp,
and this with much patience and
perseverance, the woodwork of a
window not being easy to grasp.
