Wonders of a Watch.

Very few who carry watch ever
think of the unceasing labor it per.
forms, under what would be consid-
cred shabby treatment for any other
treatment. There are many who think
that watch ought to run for years
without cleaning or drop of oil.
Read this and judge for yourself. The
main wheel in an ordinary American
watch makes four revolutions day
for twenty-four hours, or 1,46O in a
year. Next, the center wheel, twenty
four revolutions in day, of $3.50 in
year. The third wheel, 1872 in day,
or 59,oSO in a year. The fourth wheel,
2.44o in day, or $4,000 in a year.

CHEESE CLOTH IS USEFUL.

Valuable In Many Ways.
Cheese cloth should be used more
commonly for household purposes than
1t is, says the washington Post. The
material has the special merit OF be-
ing firm, yet so losely woven that
grease comes out readily in washing;
thus 1t Is more easily kept clean than
linen or crash, for which 1t may many
times be substituted. An unbleached
quality that costs not more than 8
cents ward is quite as good for gen.
eral use as more expensive fabrics.
The best kind of dishcloths are made
of It. The material should be doubled,
raw edges turned in and stitched on
tho machine. This will wear, and be-
conse IT cleans so easily is most SAM
fairy for warm weather, in that it will
not become saturated and smell of
crease. Rinsing in soap and water will
be all that is necessary for cleansing.
For nice furniture it is the best
kind of cloth for cleaning, and all cab
inetmakers keep three sets for work.
The first is used for applying the oil.
the second to rub 1t off and the third
Is the polisher Similar treatment for
dining-room tables will keep them In
the pink Of condition.
Cheese cloth will save the daily use
Of an egg in boiled coffee merely by
having small bags of the cotton kept
in the kitchen. Put the grounds into
one and twist the top around tight
with thread, a spool of which should
be handy for the purpose. The same
bag may be used many times There
Is nothing In the cleaning line for
which is is not good.
Windows and mirrors will never have
speck Of lint on their shining sur
face IL cheese cloth is used, and for all
kinds of work 1t will be found inval.
liable. A bag made of 1t should always
be kept In the kitchen for straining
soups
Tissue paper Is another valuable
household asset that all housekeepers
do not appreciate. All of it that comes
into the house should be saved. AIois-
tened with alcohol. it polishes to per.
lection, and even dry will make them
shine. Silver, also brass If not badly
furnished, will respond Immediately to
treatment with tissue paper, and for
packing Of all kinds 1t is most useful.
Lace, silk and all ribbon should always
be ironed between two layers of it, for
the materials will not then be shiny.

The Menace of p1utocr.cv.


1t Is fact of great political as we'll
as economic significance that to-day a
very large majority Of the people of
this country are dependent upon the
Initiative Of very small minority for
employment, and, therefore, for the
means Of living. This arises from the
concentration OF capital under corpo-
rate management, and the accumula-
lions Of great fortunes like those of
Rockefeller, Carnegie, FrIck and 9TH
ers. 1t is undemocratlc, and is gradu-
ally destroying our system of govern
ment; for when they manage so great
proportion Of private business, they
will also manage public business, and
thereby establish the principle and
practice of plutocracy in public as well
as In private enterprises The remedy
lies in the enactment of mortmain laws
limiting the existence and wealth of
corporations. and in statutes requiring
the distribution Of great estates equally
among the heirs Of the owner at his
death. Moderate wealth generally dis
tributed is far better than great wealth
unequally distributed This was JEFF
ferson's view, and it is the only view.
One-sided prosperity will destroy free
dom as surely as thunder follows
lightning.

Many times as 1t has been told 1t
may be well to keep In mind that the
original intention of a tariff to tax
imports was for the purpose of raising
revenue to support the government
and incidentally to protect infant in
dustries in the new republic. But the
first time there was a declared purpose
in tariff bill to protect manufacture
ers was in the Mckinley bill. and that
tariff law the voters of the United
States repudlated. But now the pres
ent tariff. with Its enormous protec-
ton to the manufacturers. has so fos,
tered gigantic trusts and combines
that prtsts have increased far beyond
what was expected or intended; 1t is
a mockery of the taxpayers to still
talk of protecting infant industries

Something to he Said In Favor Of
Those Who Wear Them.

Something to he Said In Favor of
Those Who Wear Them.
"Physiognomists tell us that the big
nosed people do the worlds work.
said a short nosed man the other day,
"and they generally add lot of rub
bish about Napoleon's big nose and
how he always selected big nosed men
to carry out daring undertakings.
THAT Napoleon story was Invented
by some one with nose like Cyrano
de Bergerac, who wanted an excuse
for his proboscls and therefore pre-
tended that lis nose was but the in
PRODUCTION to s,1nassive, imposing
character. 1t Is true that big nose is
sometimes indicative Of firmness and
determination, but only when 1t is as
ISOLATED with a strong jaw and long
chin. A big nose with retiring chin
is almost idiotlc in the expression 1t
gives to the countenance. Every car
toonist knows this. Whenever you see
a cartoon of n society dude 1t shows a
long nose. and a small chin.
But there Is something to be said
in favor of the short noses. The short
nose shows wit, imagination, tact, judy
ment. discretion. Socrates had snub
nose, and of the lively imaginative
writer's In almost any language n con-
siderable proportion was short nosed
people. Long nosed men may do their
share of the worlds work, but the
short noses write the clever books and
the entertaining plays. If Shakespeare
had had nose like the Duke of We'll

would have written the Merry Wives
of Wlndsor? He might have been a
successful theater manager, but would
never have become literary artist

Republican, and Cain.

We cannot believe that party will
do after an election the very thing it
positively refuses to do before an cleo
ton. We believe that every propo-
sition made by party leaders to post
pone needful legislation until its hold
in power has been continued Is insln-
cere; or, to be more plain, that 1t is
merely lying pretense designed to
deceive the public. We, therefore, have
no confidence in any promise that the
Republican party may make that they
will reduce the grating tariff after
election" The promise bears the
badge of fraud upon its face, and when
the people, after election, call upon
that party to redeem its campaign
pledges and relieve the oppressed con-
sumers and taxpayers, 1t will answer,
like old Cain: "Am l my brothers
