BINDERS ON BRIDES.
What a Nebraska Horse Trainer Has
to Say About Them.

Most any Of us would as soon be
buried as to lose our eyesight. and
yet men by the use of binders on
brides unhesitatingly deprive the
horse Of all the means he has of salts
flying himself that nothing will hurt
him, writes a Nebraska horse trainer
in the Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
When permitted the use of his eyes
he uses them with great judgment
He sees better than we do, can meas
ure distances better and If allowed the
use Of his eyes would save himself
from collisions on the street, washOuts

talking to man one day on this sub

were the best because nearly every
one used them. What an argument!
There was a time when nearly every
body thought the earth was fiat, but
they were wrong. He said. too, that a
horse looked better in blind brides.

How to Sweeten Strong Butter.

Housekeepcrs often find that butter
bought for cooking is quite strong. The
Germans have method of swcetening
it which is cfticacious. 1t is as fol
lows:
Put ten pounds of butter into por-
cclan kettle and boil steadily over a
good but slow fire until the sediment
in the pan is of II pale. amber colo"
This will be in about five hours. Great
care must be used for fear of scorch
ing. Strain the butter while hot into
clean, small jars. not squeezing the
cloth. When cold cover with oiled pa
per and keep in Il cool place from the
air. This process imparts TO the worst
kind Of butter Il palatahlc. nutty flavor
1t is better than ever for gingerbread
or for any Kind of plain cake.

The Draft Horse.

The draft horse possesses three
points that make him ii horse for heavy
work. He must have weight, which Is
the first essential: heavy hook bones
and strong muscles When Il horse
pulls the tendency Is to lift him off
the ground; hence the necessity OF his
being heavy. If he has his head check
ed high he cannot pull to advantage.
for II is natural for him to draw his
head down when he pulls. A horse
may have II heavy and powerfully
built hook bone. but his muscles may
not he developed and he Is weak. A
draft horse may have the appearance
Of perfection MS Ia size. but unless his
tendOns and muscles are strong he
cannot stand heavy work. Like a
heavy chain he is only strong as the
weakest point.

CLEANING CORSETS.
How Amateurs Can Wash and Freshen
Them Up.

How Amateurs Can Wash and Freshen
Them Up.
II one wishes to keep ones corsets
clean and fresh this can only be done
by frequent washing. The majority of
cheaper corsets cannot be washed ow-
ing to the cheap steel or iron stiffen-
ing used in their manufacture. When
these corsets are washed the metal
forms iron mold stains in the fabric
and makes them look ugly. 1t Is there
fore necessary that corsets should be
of a fairly good quality or at least that
the stiffening agent used in their man
ufacture Is Of substance that will
not OXidize when wet and form stains
such as iron mold on the fabric.
The method of washing is to moisten
corsets by placing them in warm soap
lather; then straighten them on board
and brush them thoroughly with soft
brush, using plenty of soap and wa
ter, dipping them occasionally into the
water to remove the lOOsened dirt.
When quite clean rinse them thor
oughly and. if required stiff. dip them
into boiling water starch The degree
of starch used depends entirely upon
the stiffness required. Some people
prefer their corsets to be soft in which
| case no stiffness need be given.
The corsets should then he dried in
the open air if possible, and when only
slightly damped they ought to be press
ed with an iron. This makes them
smooth and more comfortable TO wear.

At first they burst only a little way
from the bottom, but as the water
gets hotter and hotter they rise higher
and higher.
At last, when the water is boiling,

COMMERCIAL CLUBS THOUSAND,

Among the last Of the active pro-
iccts set on foot by the late secretary
Of the Commercial Club in this city, was
campaign TO raise the membership
of the club to a thousand. And he
was enthusiastic and diligent IN pursu-
ing his active campaign 10 that END
But it was not given him to live to see
the full fruition of his hopes and desires,
though the accomplishment was fniIy
in sight while he yet lived.
The Commercial Club is mighty
factor in the business and social ac-
tivities Of this city. IT has originated
numberless beneficial moves. 1t is the
recognized rallying point for all the
great movements, as the e. a, Il. en-
campment and the conventions OF Varl'
ous kinds that have been held here,
It's Importance in all progressive lines
is well understood and recognized by
all, and its eminent serviceableness TO
the city is universally recognized.
That the club should grow to such
Importance and be such Il mighty fac

no less for the city than for tine club
itself That it. should obtain a mem
bership of thousand speaks volumes
for its usefulness and for the eminent
" solid and business-like methods upon
which it has been conducted.
That the club may push onward and
achieve more and more good work for
the city, and enroll more and more of

POLISHING THEM OFF.

The dispatch yesterday morning
which stated that the Government had
recovered nearly 100000 from Ar
buckle Brothers in the matter of their
cheating in connection with raw sugar
importations was good reading. IL will
be remembered that the Government be-
gan its procedure against the American
Sugar Trust in the same way. 1t re-
covered upward of S2,000,000 i'm,
mediately on account of short weight
cheating in raw sugar importations.
And now the Arbuckle Brothers fol
low in the same wake; and similarly 1T
is stated in the dispatches that the
prosecution against the Arbuckle Broth
ers will be pushed on just the same ms
il is being pushed against the big sugar
trust.
The dispatch also announces that new
irregularities in the sugar industry S
cheating, ramifying into quarters never
suspected, are discovered. The grand
Jury is put on the case, and will I'M
doubtedly make a sensational report In
regard to it. In the court procedure on
Wednesday against the sugar trust II
was openly stated that Kehoe. hav-
ing been "caught with the goods,
would be the one who would saueal and
give the whole thing away. There is
likelihood, therefore, that the Govern
mcnt probe will sink in deeper and
deeper. and will result in the recovery
of very large amounts TO the treasury,
and also in sending a good many rascals
to the penitentiary-
The amounts recovered so far from
the American Sugar Company are up
ward of $2,000,000. The refining com
pany has been fined upward of $l55,-
900; and now the Arbuckle Brothers
come up with $695,57a. The total re-
covered on this account, therefore, is
81, ,S30.573, which is pretty good start,
but undoubtedly it is only beginning,
a tithe, as we might say, of the actual
amount stolen.

UNCLEAN PRACTICES.

There is some comment among the
Mormon people upon the recent disfel-
lowshlpmcnt of Elder Joseph W Mus
ser, of which we made mention few
days ago, and of which fact the Des-
eret News has so far said nothing.
This discussion brings out the CON
dition that there is variety Of con-
lecture concerning the nature of Elder
Musser's new polygamy. Some aver
that before he could have procured the
performance of the ceremony which
united him unlawfully to his plural wife
within the past two or three years. he
must have secured permission from
some high ecclesiast. Then there are
others who contend that President Jo-
seph F. Smith is sincere in his atti.
tude toward such offenders; that he dis
approves their conduct; that it is there
fore impossible that Elder MUsser could
have obtained any consent from him; /;
that President Smith being the only man
on earth that could legitimately give
such permission, unless authority were
delegated to another TO confer it, (and
his disappearing attitude barring that
thought altogether) Elder Musser must
have proceeded without any authority
at all, and is therefore plain adul-
terer, Those who set up this view of
the matter go so far as to say that pos
sibly the Musser case is similar to that
of cod Man Due, as he was called
| by members of the church. Due was
of advanced years and lived in Salt
| Lake City, He saw and became enam-
orcd of a Swedish servant girl of his
own faith. She was not any too well
versed in the ways of the world, and
she knew still less of the wles Of some
of the Melchisedeks. Almost immedi-
ately upon the heel of the issuance of
the Woodruff manifesto Due married
the girl polygamously. Complaint was
made about il by another member of
the church, inasmuch as the offense
came so near upon the official decree
abolisbing the practice, An investiga
tion followed 1t was found that Elder
Due had first written letter to him
self, which he had signed Bishop
c." and authorizing himself to per-
form the ceremony which would give
to him his Swedish plural bride. He
was communicated, but he had the
woman
AS we say, there are some among the
Mormon people who believe that Elder
