excitepent of arriving throngs, some
with banners and flags and gaily uni
formed marchers, others made up of
state aeleg ations, with their conspicu-
GUS lea aders and their cohort of strong

various political candid ates. and still
others and again others Of the curious
onlookers drawn from every section
OF the country, including many Of the
representatives of foreign govern
ments, who had come to witness this
national spectacle.
All day special trains have emptied
thousands Of visitors into this politi'
cal Mecca. The effect of this influx Ia
seen tonight in the surging stree,
crowds, the growing animation of the
choked and smoky hotel lobby, the
strains of music and the swell of ora
tory from some Of the headquarters Of
the delegates, aud the bouuteOus hos

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

Keep a pair Of mittens made from
heavy white cotton flannel to slip on
when hanging out clothes.
To polish a looking glass first rub 1t
with a duster wrung out Of cold water
and dipped in whiting, and then polish
with a dry cloth.
Turnips boiled In their jackets like
beets are much better than when
pared. Adding a little sugar to the
water viii correct any bitterness.
Heat a lemon thoroughly before
squeezing and you win obtain nearly
double the quantity of juice that you
would If It had not been heated.
AS soon as a salt ham or tongue is
cooked remove It from the boiling wa
ter to a pan OF cold water for a few
seconds. This viii loosen the skin,
which may be easily peeled of.
Sprinkle mint With granulated sugar
when preparing mint sauce and It will
chop more easily. Try adding few
mint leaves to the dish OF baked beans,
An eplcure also recommends serving
mint sauce with spinach.
The woven wire egg beater, an indis-
pensable article in the kitchen, is hard
to clean because the threads from the
dishcloth are apt to catch In the wires
A good way to clean this utensil i:
with a small brush. This will save
the trouble OF removing lint from the
meshes before using.
When tiny pieces Of felt are found
in various parts of the piano It is evi
dent that the tiny silver moth is a
work and will in time do much dam
age. Camphor gum tied in cheesecloti
and suspended inside the piano vii
drive them out, while placing a hal
cupful Of turpentine inside, leaving fol
several days, will be certain Of driv
ing out the little pests.

Her Home Training.

Woman Is Said TO Be Handicapped by
Her Home Training.
A man says that a great deal OF un-
intentional entertaining takes place
among women. Women-when they
are by themselves-it appears, lack In
dependence of action. They cannot
shake or one they have met a moment
or two ago with a nod when they
want to lunch by themselves. The
spirit Of domestic hospitality is too
strong. In a weak moment-for It is
painfully weak-they insist on paying
for the company and the food OF an
acquaintance they had merely meant
to be civil to.
OF course this sort Of thing seems
almost incomprehensible to a man. In
vitations In mems clubs. say, have to
be backed by a pretty sound reason.
The pleasant sort Of fellow who wait
ed about for some sensitive man on
whom to insinuate his appetite would
soon find himself living a hungry life.
This is certainly a strange and dis
turbing insight into the manners and
customs Of women. 1t goes against
ones observation too. Women usually
appear to be quite conscious that they
are doing an independent thing in an
Independent spirit

ed inconsistent It always makes me
laugh. Men are so much more so.
There is one well known woman nov
elist who understands the sentimental
type perfectly. Her heroines are all

just men.
There was one sentimental woman
heard Of braver than the rest. She
didn't want to suffer in silence. She
wanted t. reform her husband into
what he should be. So what do you
think she did? She used to pin notes
to his pillow telling him where he fell
short, and be would find them there
when he came home from the club at
p. m.
Can the worship of the ideal be car
ried further?
she kept it up until she found all her
time was spent in writing notes to
him.
Now she has come to her senses. She
lets him send few notes to herr
There is nothing ideal about any
man, and If you force him to live on a
pedestal he will become awfully bored
and lonely besides having q perpetual
"crick" in his neck from looking down.
Take my advice and he as practical
and matter of fact as you can. In that
way you will be much surer OF happi.
