BRIDGES SHOULD BE WATCHED

A crowd of fellows have been congrc-
eating under the Bordentown bridge
running the growler daily. for some time
past. Their language and actions were
so, lacking in decency that Mrs. Charles
Bennett, who resides near the bridge
and who has several children who could
hear them and see their actions, could
not stand it Sc she went for Marshal
Mcdonnell who drove them away. 1t
is said that they went down to the George
street bridge after that. The police
should look after those bridges. They.
have long been a menace to the public in
more ways than one. Tramps often
abound there and George street is es-
~pecially dark at that spot nights; which
has often been remarked by the News
correspondent in the News, when asking
for a light to be placed there.

IN HOUSEKEEPING TIME
Various Suggestions Which May In
clude Something Of Value
That Is New.

A hardwood or oiled floor may be
thoroughly cleaned and made bright and
glossy by washing it with a mop wet
with kerosene. Leave the windows
open so the disagreeable odor will
%evaporate, advises the Boston Budget.
If you wish to oil or paint the kitchen
iioor, and there are cracks that need fill
ing, tear several newspapers into small
pieces and soak them in water. Mix
one pound of flour and a quart of water
together, beating it until it is smooth
II free from Jumps, then stir in a table-
spoonful of alum and two quarts of boil
ing water. Set it On the stove where
the paste will cook, and mix the wet
paper with it. Boil until 1t is quite
thick, and press it into the cracks while
bot with a knife. 1t will soon harden
and makes the flour nice and smooth.
Before the stoves are put away for the
summer, clean off any dust stains by
rubbing. the nickel and steel with lin
seed oil. Afteri it has remained for a day
or two, rub the places with a cloth
dipped in ammonia.
Feather pillows need washing at
least once a year, if used constantly. for
they accumulate dust and dirt. Choose
a bright sunny day for the work, and a
gentle breeze helps them to dry quickly.
Fill a large tub half-full of water that
is almost boiling hot,g and dissolve
enough washing powder in it to
make good suds. Put n or two
pillows in at a time, according to the
size, and move them about pushing
them up and down and rpbbing them be-
tween the hands until they are clean. II
one water is not enough, use two, rinse
in clear water, wiring as dry as possible,
and hang them on the line to dry. Shake
them occasionally to keep the feathers
from sticking together, and they will be
as light and soft as new pillows.
If you are so fortunate as to pCss ,ss
a cedar chest. pack your winter clothing
and wooden draperies in it to- keep them
from the ravages of the moths
Copper boilers and brass kettles may
be cleaned by securing them with salt
and vinegar, and following this by rub
bling with . clot2 dipped in coal oil.

II now the representatives of a min.

Greek Advertising Centers.

The favorite advertising centers with
the ancient Greeks were the temples

the ears, the nose, the head. the eye

ties until the temple looked like a

that it ~resists all effects of climate and

WON'T Miss Bullfights

Men who at home are members of the
S. Z. G. A., yea, even of the Y. M. C. A..
come to Mexico agd demand to know
where tickets to the bullfghts are to
be had. If it is on Sunday, so much the
better; there is a thrill of deviltry in
smashing several commandments at
once. Women GO, and, fascinated. sit
through the successive acts of a drama
of blood and pain. Does anyone mean
to say that he would not attend a gladia-
torial combat. would not revel in see
ing men pitted against wild animals, or
that, if Christian Science martyrs were
thrown into a Mexican arena to be de-
voured by wild animals. there would not
be a crowd of most worthy tourists
on the front seats? Human nature re-
mains quite unaltered. The passion for
the bullfight on the part of the worthy
people who come here every winter and
spring is proof enough that the old Ro-
mans were no fuller of original sin than
the rest of us.-Mexican Herald.

ANOTHER MATCH PROPOSED.
Reakes and Wiley Will be Brought To
gether I'm Alma I'm "a Few Weeks.

Several Alma parties, not being satis-
fed with the outcome OF the wrestling
match between Robert Reakes and Max
Wiley, at Glare, a short time ago, took
the trouble to write Mr.. Wiley and ask
him il he would wrestle Reakes again.
Last week word was received from
Wiley that he was ready TO do so inside
OF three week for purse of 5000. Reakes
was consulted and he made the state
ment that he was willing to meet Mr.
Wiley again at any spot or place with
an impartial referee, and in addition
would put a large share of the purse
money. 1t now looks as though the
people will again have an opportunity
to Judge which Is the best man of the
two.
Articles for the match to be pulled off
in Alma the night of April al, were
drawn up the first OF the week, and
after they were signed by Mr. Reakes
they were sent to Mr.. Wiley for his
signature. Neither Reakes nor Wiley
will have anything to do with the
management of the contest more than
that which pertains to the wrestling
part, the financial end Of II being
managed by local parties entirely.

REPUBLICAN GAINS
MADE ELECTION DAY.
From all Over Michigan Comes
Reports that the 6. o. p. is
on the Gain.
LOCAL OPTION HIT HARD
IN SEVERAL COUNTIES.
Gain of One Supervisor Made In
Gratiot and General Results are
Satisfactory.

From all over this grand and glorious
mitten-shaped state comes the crafty
ing news to those who embrace the
e. o. p. faith, that the Republicans in
general were victorious at the elections
on Monday last, and that large gains
have been made this year In many Of
the cities where the democrats have
been in control for several years, the
ranks have been broken and republican
mayors and control of the board of
aldermen secured for the adherents to
protection and prosperity"
In Gratiot county a gain Of one super
visor was made. Last year the board
stood IL republicans to democrats while
this year it will be IL republicans to s
democrats. The republicans lost Elba and
Emerson. but gained North Shade and
New Haven, at the same time gaining
one supervisor in the city Of st. Louis.
The township road system was defeated
in every township where it was voted
upon.
III Arcadia the republicans showed
the usual strong vote and elected the
entire ticket by majorities ranging from
1877 to 2l9, the constables even averag-
ing higher, with the exception Of treas
urer Decatur Coleman, democrat, defeat
ing J. A. Baker, republicans, by a
majority of 81. Mr.. Coleman's friends
made a special effort for him and to this
fact, in addition to his personal popu-
larity with the farming community, is
credited his election. On another page
will be found summary of the votes in
the county, including Arcadia township.

SONG OF THE bayfield,.

IT'S pleasant to see the meadows bow
To the sweep Of the modern mower;
The swaying fields to the long, keen
knives
Their plumes and lances lower.
But oh! for the sweet, prosaic past,
And the scythes old-fashioned song;
For the rare, rich smell of the grass
which fell
In the billowy windrows long!
Mayhap the haying is now but play,
With the aid OF modern skill:
Mayhap 1t takes but day and day
The roomy old barn to fill;
But oh! for the scythe's old-fashioned
swath;
For the mower who went a-field,
And the muscles strong as they swung
along
That their brawny arms revealed!
What though 1t required a month or
more,
Instead of day and day?
The hours were glad and the heart was
strong,
And the labor was as play:
Then oh! for the sweet, prosaic past,
And the scythe's old-fashioned song,
For the rare, rich smell of the grass
which fell
In billowy windrows long!
IF. H. Sweet, in Farm Journal.
