USE SALT TO CLEAN SPOONS.
Will Take OF Any stain and Leave
the Silver Bright.

Careful women have in some cases
had their silver egg spoons dipped in
gold so that the stains from eggs will
not have to be fought against.
They do not realize that a single
application of fine table salt on a wet
cloth viii take off any stain and leave
the silver entirely bright After this
1t should be washed in warm water
and pure soap.
Many women leave silver spoons in
preserves from one meal to another,
remarking that the articles are silver
and the fruit acid will not ruin them.
But do they stop to think what the
silver viii do TO the fruit? There is a
chemical process between the fruit
acid and metal which makes the fruit
unit for use. This is even more so
where the genuine silver is not used.
Lard will turn a spoon green in a few
days in hot weather, yet often a silver
spoon will be left in the lard can.

As to Sneozino.

Why should person sneeze? Why
does almost every one believe that to
sneeze is to catch cold? Sneezirg is an
explosive expulsion of air through the
nasal passages and mouth; but what
causes it and what are its results? 1t
Increases the circulation. 1t clears the
head. When you sneeze always hold
your head straight in front. Don't
twist it To the left or right. Never
sneeze over your shoulder. You are
liable to burst blood vessel.
Some say that sitting in a draft will
cause sneezing. In former days it was
very polite custom to take SNUFF to
encourage a sneeze. Men had their
oejeweled snuff boxes and carried
their handkcrchiefs in their cuffs. No
doubt a sneeze was originally designed
TO expel irritating materials from the
upper air passages. In the act a
powerful exploratory effort is made. the
vocal cords are kept shut till the pres.
sure in the chest, has risen high. and
air is then suddenly allowed to ESCAPE
upward, being directed int the back
o. the nose BY the soft palate.

Funny Changes.
Richmond News Leader.

Richmond News Leader.
For many newspapers it would be i'm
possible to print anything as funny as
they are themselves. Readers who fol-
low the courses of these estimable con-
temporaries must get from them many
quiet chuckle and good guffaw.
Why, it was but ten brief weeks ago
that the Georgia and South Carolina
newspapers were denouncing Mr. Taft
as tool and hired man of Roosevelt, an
ilfidel, slave of the trusts, foe Of
our Dear Sunny Southland. They were
cavorting about and tearing their hair
ii their obligations, their adjurations
and their exhortations unto voters to
come forth in their might to stamp out
this wicked attempt to subjugate free
people and stifie the voice of a Justly
aroused public Indignation. Some of
them were trying to prove that Judge
Taft had stolen the Panama canal and
was carrying the proceeds around in his
pocket. Taft came South to rest, and
the Georgia and South Carolina cities
tumbled over each other in their eager
ness to catch day or two of his pres
ence. A summer hotel in the noun
tAins filed with young ladies and with
one eligible and attractive young man in
sight could not have developed more
violent contentious, keener rivalry, feel
ing more bitter, elbowing sharper or
sarcasm keener than came forth among
these communities in their scuffie for a
visit from Mr.. Taft. Augusta impIored
him, Savannah besought him, Atlanta
baited for him with 'possum and a dele
cation, Birmingham sent up squad Of
chosen orators who told him that the
South was his, and Charleston threw
fits and for all we know scooped an ex-
tca six inch trench in her bar for the
pleasure Of giving him a great feed and
sending him to sea. The newspapers in
these communities forgot even to abuse
Mr.. Roosevelt in their fear of offending
Taft or missing a minute of his time or
hairs breadth of his smile; and now
they have gone to quarreling as to
which of them entertained Mr.. Taft
most to his taste and gave him the most
pleasant impression
Richmond, which invited and welcom-
ed Judge Taft when such acts were not
supposed to be popular and might have
involved some political danger, received

Lincoln Died at RIuht Time.
Rev. DIR. T. L. Cuyler, in Homiletic
Review.

Rev. DR.. T. L. Cuyler, in HomiIetic
Review.
Terrible as was the tragedy of that
April night, it is still true that Lincoln
may have died at the right time for his
imperishable fame. He had conducted
an immense nation through the most
tremendous civil war ever waged, end
never committed a single serious mis-
take. He did not possess Hamilton's
brilliant genius, but Hamilton never
saw the future more sagaciously. He
made no pretentions to Daniel Web
ster's magnetic oratory, but Webster
never put more truth in oratorical form
for popular guidance. He possessed
Benjamin FranlSlin's immense common
sense, and that 20-line address on the
battlefield of Gettysburg is the high
water mark of American sententious
eloquence. Ic is fitting that after such
q career his own life should be the last
to be lost in that stupendous struggle.
He had called over 200, 900 heroes to lay
down their lives, and then his own life
was laid down beside the humblest pri-
vate soldier or drummer boy of Gettys-
burg or Chickamauga.

Roll Potatoes.

A new and easy way to make. Slice
the usual way. Let remain in cold
water one hour, then spread a couple
of newspapers on the table with a
cloth on top, then place rows of
drained potatoes on this, cover with
a cloth and newspaper, roll back and
forth with a rolling pin. You will be
surprised to find how quickly they
will be done. A great improvement on
the old way of sailing few at a time
in the hands. AS soon as the first
ones are rolled they can be moved
aside and the cloth filled, and so on
till you are ready to fry as usual.

A Defender Of The Press.
Richmond News Leader.


Now we are having in the newspapers
twaddle about Senator Tillman, Of South
Carolina, as strong defender of this
freedom of the press. He has under
taken to attack this government for its
supposed purpose to prosecute the New
York World for publication of a gross
libel against several eminent citizens
and villainous insinuations against the
president and the president-elect. All
this has a nauseating effect on those
who take the trouble to remember.
1t is this same Tillman who fourteen
years ago, while governor of South Car
DINA, undertook to suppress the State
newspaper of Columbis and to declare
the city under martial law because the
newspaper printed editorials which he
declared to be incendiary. He purposed
and threatened to put the city under
control of undisciplined, irresponsible
armed partisans of his, gathered from
country districts, knowing very well
that in doing so he would invite and al
most certainly cause civil war which
would have drenched the streets in
blood. He seized the telegraph offices
and had newspaper specials and all tele-
grams censored. The present editor-in-
chief of The News Leader, as member
of the South Carolina militia bound to
obey the orders of his commander-in-
chief, was in charge of a file of men in
South Carolina telegraph office in
specting the private messages Of citi.
zens, under instructions from the gov
ernor-this same Tillman who now talks
In the senate of the liberty of the press,
the rights of the people and the sanctity
of private correspondence. Surely nc
duty more unpleasant or disgusting evel
was imposed on citizen soldier. Ye,
the soldiers were threatened that il they
refused to obey, armed mobs under Till
mans orders would be turned loose OF
the people.
In that time of turmoil and extremt
danger, when any hour might have seer
a fighting and maddened people at eacl
others throats, making widows and or
phans from one end of the State 10 tn,
other. this same Tillman was urging Oh
the strife while personally keeping a
safe distance from it. UNFOLDING an,
enforcing his dispensary law. whicl
gave the State the monopoly of tn
whiskey selling business and cause
more corruption and demoralizatio,
than the reconstruction governments
he used his power, for a time at least
with the recklessness of q homicidal ma
MAC. And yet this man, who attempte
to suppress u newspaper by armed mill
tary force in time of peace, who seize
e telegraph offices and filled them wit
troops to censor messages, who declare
martial law in counties and threatene
to declare it in the capital because new.

o now as champion of the liberty of th
press.
Why do not people who undertake I

Something About Consistency
Norfolk Landmark.


With obvious reference to the scandal
in the State Corporation Commission
when Clerk Upshur exposed the i'm
proper connection between the chair
man of the commission, certain clerks.
and Il concern doing business as the Vir-
ginia Corporation Company Qnc. for
which service to the State Mr.. Upshur
was kicked out as soon as the Legisla-
ture had whitewashed Judge Crump by
rejecting the majority report of its own
investigating committee-the Danville
Register remarks: THE attitude TO-
ward and the comments of some of our
Virginia contemporaries upon Senator
Tillman and their severe characterize
ton of his disingenuousness in connec-
ton with the Oregon land deal matter
is in striking contrast with the attitude
OF some of these very papers when GER
tain charges of having not only almost
done improper things, but of having
actually done them. The Richmond
Evening Journal doubtless had in mind
the attitude of these very papers in ex-
cus'nS and generating certain persons
for personal or political reasons, while
they now condemn Mr.. Tillmsu zeal
ously."
The Register says that besides 1.-The
press of Richmond'-an expression
which is hardy fair to The Richmond
Journa,-''a large portion of the State
papers" approved the discreditable ap-
p!ica;ion of whitewash. Our own recol-
lection is that while the majority of the
Richmond papers fercely rallied around
the prominent and popular Richmond
citizen who was the object of censure,
the press of the State as whole YVES
against the injustice. What papers,
outside of Richmond. have condemned
Senator Tillman after exculpsting Judge
Crump, we are not prepared to say, but
we believe that the majority of them
have been consistent in the matter We
know the Landmark has. As to the at
titude of the general public, if the Leg
islature would do what it is empowered
to do by the Constitution and put the
election of the Corporation Commission
in the hands of the people, and if tie
suffrage laws made i.practicable to get
really representative vote, we believe
that Mr.. Upshur would be elected Il
member of the commission by an over
whelming majority-if he cared to max G
canvass for the place. There is q
great deal of ''if" about this opinion, TO
be sure, but the abundance of it merely
/ exemplifies what stands between intel
lgent public sentiment and political &C
Qualities in this State at the present
time. Many things have been done
which would not have been done if the
! white electorate were not greatly re-
duced by devices which increase the
power of the self-sceking politician and
decrease the power of the press-for j,
is practically impossible to get public
interest seriously aroused six months
before an election. We cannot under.
stand how any of those who excused
Judge Crump and the Corporation Com
mission and the Legislature in the
shameful affair of few years ago car
condemn Senator Tillman for seeking
profit indiscreetly ia Western public
lands.
