A Terse Answer.

Not only soft answer turneth away
wrath, but a terse answer squelcheth,
as was once learned by Professor Sile
of Stanford University. Enrolled in
one of his classes was young lady
named Greene, and on reaching her
name the professor spelled it out and
asked "Do you pronounce that Green
or Green-y?'"
"s-i-l-e," promptly answered the
young woman, "do you pronounce that

RUSTY FIRE IRONS.

Rusty irons should be we'll rubbed
with sweet oil, left for twenty-four
hours, and then secured with unslak-
ed lime; If the stains are very deep
the lime may be laid on as paste,
and left for day or two. 1t must be
kept in mind that If the rust has thor
oughly eaten into the steel nothing
will remove it.
Prevention in this case is better
than cure, and il fire irons, tops OF
tenders, ETC., are rubbed every day
with a piece of tissue paper, rust will
not make its appearance.-New York

Laundering Table Linen.

The best laundresses give their table
linen little, If any, starch, but iron it
while it is quite damp, which makes it
just stiff enough. Hot water should
never be used in laundering fine table
linen or embroidered doilies. Cold
water and pure white soap containing
borax will preserve their whiteness
and beauty. Linen will not turn yel-
low when packed away if 1t is rough
dried in the beginning. 1t must not be
starched, and should be folded. If
this method is followed, 1t can be kept
for years in good condition.
Cotton may be distinguished from
linen by moistening the tip of the
finger and pressing the fabric. If it
vets through at once it is linen, but
If there is any cotton in the material
it will take several seconds to wet
through the threads.-New York Post

TARIFF WAR IMPENDING.
A Crisis in the Attitude OF the Pro.
~tectionists.

Less than three months remain be-
fore the German maximum tariff rate
will go into effect against our prod
ucts. unless the German government
will again extend the time. We know
that conferences are being held in
Washington between Secretary Root
and Mr.. North, director Of the CEN
sus, who was head of the commits
sion to Germany to try and patch up
an agreement, and now Baron Won
%Sternburg, the German ambassador,
has been called into the conference,
so matters must be coming to a eli
max. 1t is announced that 1T has
been made plain to Secretary Root
that owing to internal political condl-
tons in Germany the government OF
that country cannot renew the order
now in effect extending to American
products the benefits Of the mini
mum tariff rates." But probably some
other basis will be found for a new
agreement, as it is evident thai Ger
many has nearly as much to lose as
we have by shutting out our meat
and breadstuffs, the prices OF which
are abnormally higher in the Ger
man empire. When congress meets
next December the stand-pat leaders
may be as stiff necked as the Ger
man protectionists in trying to pro-
hibit importations, and then will
come the tug of war. Either we must
reduce our tariff rates on enough ar
ticles to make it desirable for Ger
many to allow us her minimum tariff
rates or minimum rates must be
adopted, and the present rates would
be our maximum rates. The plan o.
the stand-patters to make the present
rates the minimum and add 20 per
cent. for maximum rates would force
Germany and other, countries to put
in effect their maximum rates. When
the Republican national convention
meets next year it will be compelled
to take action and the usual glitter
ing g~eneralities will have to be laid
aside for more explicit declarations.
AS our farmers must sell their sur
plus products, which cannot be esti-
mated until the crop is garnered, and
the German manufacturers can reduce
their output at pleasure. It would
seem that the United States. if the
Republican protectionists are to have
their way. will get the worst of 1t.

AGE TOLD By THE PULSE.
From Birth 70 Death the Beats Have
a Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of:
a person could be a~scertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of a girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to 10 and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 80. Mature men and ONE av-
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old woman's pulse rarely, If ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below SO is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A
times a minute.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, nan
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through elmanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used wei a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and it's value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment. and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Piayinu at Reform,

The Nebraska legislature has pass
ed an election bill which abolishes
nominating conventions for state,
county and municipal officers. The
press dispatch announcing the fact
does not give particulars of this re-
form legislation which must have
been forced by public opinion from
the Republican majority. The same
dispatch shows that the "old Adam
of graft still exists in that body, for
the dispatch adds: "The house in
definitely postponed the bill prohibit
ing express, telegraph and telephone
franks" The people of Nebraska
will no doubt watch with jealous eye
those members who virtually declared
by voting to kill the bill that they
were ready to be Influenced by free
express transportation, free tele-
graph messages and free telephones.
That Republican-controlled legislature
must be playing reform for effect
merely.
