 The Standard Is not sure, but Is ln- der the impression that Mir. Hopper has been quite active in the Democratic all of those in the county who once affiliated with the Populist Party have since participated in Democratic pri- maries and Democratic counsels. Quite and some of the county offices are now held by those who were former Pop ulists. Indeed former Populists al- most hold the balance of power in tho Democratic Party of the county. hence we hardly think Mr. Hopper will meet with much success in reviving his old party. His call may result In a strict observance of the party law in that those who may wish to vote in the Democratic primaries must file a pledge to support the nominees.
 The publication of Mir. Hopper's card will at least have the effect of causing those who have the party machinery of the county in their hands to keep their ears to the ground. and see that only the old guard Is placed on duty when our next primaries are held. Of course, if 1t is not the purpose of a voter to support the qominees; whoever they may be, he has no Tight. and should not be allowed to t'S1.e part fu the party primary.

Ruskin will prove comfort:
What does cookery mean? It
means the knowledge Of all fruits and
spices, Of all that is healing and sweet
in fields and groves, and savory in
meats. 1t means carefulness and in
ventiveness and watchfulness and
willingness. 1t means the economy
OF your great-grandmother and the
science OF modern chemists. 1t means
much tasting and no wasting; 1t means
English thoroughness, and French art,
and Arabian hospitality; and It means,
in fine, that you are to be perfectly
and always-ladies
When bread is like a honey-comb all
through is the time to make It up into
loaves. When the loaves do not retain
the dent of the finger, they are ready
for the oven.
When meats are put in to roast it is
better to have no water in the pan. 1t
may be added later, when the meat
has begun to brown.
It is never good plan TO put both
old and new milk in the same cake,
Use either one, but not both. Better
at a pinch, add little water.
Never stick a fork in a fowl OF roasi
to turn it or to see If it is done. This

Many Lanouaaes Of Mexico.

During the fiestas Of Christmas or
the week Of All Souls and All Saints,
when the Indians swarm down from
the mountains with their holiday
wares for sale, visitors in the city Of
Mexico may notice the strange Ian
guage that the vendors use in address,
ing each other. Even when they turn
to serve the purchaser their Spanish is
neither Castillian nor Mexican, but is
frequently broken by peculiar syllab,es
and accents.
This is merely an illustration Of the
fact that the Indian languages OF old
Mexico have not been entirely sub
merged by the conQuering Spanish,
and in some of the most remote dis
tgicts Of the republic various and dis
tinct languages handed down from the
pre-Columbian era are still spoker
in their pristine purity by many tribe
members.
