A cloth saturated in vinegar is about
the only thing that will clean the little
mica windows" in the coal stove.
A new soft paint brush is a good
thing TO dust carved furniture with, as
the bristles will penetrate the deepest
crevices.
When your wiping towels begin to
get thin, double them and quilt them
on the machine. They make soft cloths
for washing china and silver.
If a teapot pours badly, rub a little
butter around the spout. This will
prevent the tea dripping or trickling
down on the clean tablecloth.
Cover window stills Of kitchen and
bathroom with enameled cloth or ordi-
nary oilcloth to save the window sills
from wet saucers and cups that dis
figure paint.
Covers of bleached muslin slipped
on over pillow ticks and the pillow
slips drawn over them add to the good
appearance of the pillows, as the
striped ticking does not show through.

No portion of housekeeper's respon-
sibilities requires more conscientious
performance than the airing of clean
linen. 1t is not enough to hang the
ironed linen on a clotheshorse before
the fire for so many hours. The ar
ticles must be turned and returned,
and thick things, such as sheets, re-
quire turning inside out. Pillowslips,
too, should be opened out; pillow

drawers or press should always be
placed in a dry position, of course, and
it Is expedient to remove all the ar
ticles from the drawers and air them
at least once a month. In summer time
expose them to the air and sunlight
for an hour or so.

He must be able to tear down. build

do many another task that would be n

There are many ways of getting up
steeple, and when all others fail the
man will tie a rope round it and then
with a coil on his back, walk round
and round it until the entire steeple is
covered with rope and he has probably
been round it fully 300 times.
But steeple is not the most difficult
height to climb. Straight tall chin
neys are the hardest of all. There n
man has to work with might and main
to lift himself inch by inch from the
ground to the top. Sometimes the ton

ley is made fast, the swinging chair is
hauled up and work begins.
When the chair is near the top. il is
easier to work, because the ropes are
short; but when they lengthen, as the
ground is approached, there is a tend
ency to swing, and the wind gives
impetus.
The mans safety depends upon the
hook, and until he has raised himself
almost to the top it is impossible for
him to see whether or not the hook
has been properly adjusted. More than
once a steeple climber has seen when
within ten feet of the top that zorro
sion of the iron and the collection of
SCOT have so thickened the wall that
the hook is merely balancing on the
top, so that the slightest pull in the
wrong direction would drag it off.
Again. the bricks are often loose at
the top, and the hook is likely to tear
them away.

MN ShOuId Live n Century.

There is no reason why, with proper

proper intervals and in proper quan-
tity, men should not live invariably,
accidents excepted, to a hundred years.
In fact, taking the length of life of an

length of life in men. The length of
life of an animal should be four times
the years it takes for it to arrive at
maturity, and. as a man may be said
to arrive at perfect maturity at the age
of twenty-five years, so he should on

that more money metal is now being
offered to the worlds minis for COIN
age than on the basis production for
coinage at the time silver was the
paramount issue. we could reasonably
have expected to have been presented
under the operations Of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bartine says:
"If it be urged that silver is a dead
Issue, a good and sufficient answer is
that the Republican party killed
it,"
must take exception to the truth
Of this statement. The hostility of the
Republican party did not kill the silver
issue. Providence. who for the past
few years has rewarded with unexam-
pied generously those who search the
hills and river beds for gold is respons-
lille.
The unprecedented production of
gold has ushered in that very era Of
prosperity which it was the one purpose
of bimetallism to invite.
The Silver issue is dead. or sleeps,
it matters not which, because no issue
can live after the necessity of its ex-
istence has passed away.
So believing as do that the mission
of the Silver party is ended, and that
the great cause which we championed
belongs to history and not to the pres
ent; having in my humble way been
faithful to that cause and battled for
it to the last ditch, | have now every
right to choose my future political
alignment without fear and without
reproach. And if it seem to me that
that on the great issues which are
vital at this time the Republican party
more nearly expresses my views than
the Democratic party. no one with
justice can accuse me of stultifying any
past convictions because | so join it.
The silver question has had its
Appomattox, and while some few, from
excess of zeal or partisan motives, may
wish to prolong the hopeless conflict,
the great majority of those who
marched under the silver banner twice
to defeat know that the time is arrived
to address ourselves TO issues.
If the silver question is not settled
rightly and there should come a day
when the production Of gold will be in
sufficient to meet the worlds demands,
let us be content to believe that the
people Of that generation will be wise
enough to deal with it, and not rob our
peace unnecessarily with dark fore
bodings of their inextricable entangle-
ment in disaster.
The Twentieth century, with all its
manifold destines, is before US.
Yesterday is past and the present
and future invite action.

destiny of the American people grows
