A PACKAGE OF ORDINARY TABLE
SALT HANDIEST ARTICLE IN
COMMON USE.
Good for Constipation, Gi0es aroma
to Coffee, Cures Ear Ache, and
What Not

Of all the condiments known to mod
ern cookery, salt is the most necessary
ard universally used. But indispensable
as salt in the kitchen, it is equally useful
in the sick room, laundry and for general
household purposes; in fact, from garnet
to cellar, so to speak, salt is an ever
ready and resourceful adjunct to good
housekeeping, says the National Food
Magazine.
A weak solution of salt and warm water
is a good remedy for colds in the head,
sore throat or tender gums, used either
as a spray, garglee or mouth wash; It is
also good and cheap dentifrice.
For bleeding of the lungs il is very
eficacious, a large tablespoonful in
glass Of cold water ito be taken free
ly."
For intestinal disturbances salt IS
ar excellent addition to the enema, as
it both cleanses and acts as 4 tonic.
A tablespoonful of salt in glass of
hot water, slipped On an empty stomach,
is cure for constipation.
To break the acidity in cranberries
add pinch Of salt.
Some claim that a pinch of salt added
to boiled coffee improves its aroma.
Hot salt bags relieve neuralgia, ear
ACHE and toothache, ard clothes wrung
cut eff hot salt water should be applied
to all sprains and strained muscles Salt
water foot baths, hot Or cold, are help
full for swollen or tired feet, ard children
with weak backs and ankles should have
gentle salt WAGER rub once day.
Every well-equipped laundry should
have lar of salt among its assets. I'm
merse all handkerchiefs and bloody cloth
es in cold salt water before washing; it
eliminates all unpleasant features and
stains. Put little salt in the starch to
give it gloss. Salt added to the water in
which colored clothes are washed holds
the color IF salt is put in the rinsing
water, clothes do not freeze so readily
when hung out in winter.
Salt ON a piece of paper makes
good polish for hat-irons.
To remove rust-spots wet with vine
gar, cover with salt and expose to the
sun; repeat until the stains are drawn
out. Salt with vinegar is good to clean
brass, bottles and stained cruets. Always
add salt to the water kept in the calspidors

respectfully show unto your excell-
ency: That John Wells charged with
numbering Joe Sanders, in the Circuit
court of Rankin county, Miss, about eleven
(11) years ago at the August term of said
court by agreement sentenced to irnprison-
rnent in the penitentiary for life. That
he has served as such convict for II
years, and has been obedient to orders
and established good reputation for a
convict. That the man he killed had
threatened to Kill him and was DANCE
rous and violent character, and John
Wells had good reason to believe bis life
was in deadly perial. We think Wells
has been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances, and therefore pray that he
be pardoncd

FROM TEXAS, BUT WANTS "TC
SFFD

A new member of the house of repre-
centstives has been locking Up some mat
tiers and finds that that body has 400 mem
bers and AS employees; that 279 draw sal
aries Of $1,000 or more and 26 get $1,000
or more. Some doors, he says, have two
doorkeepers. He has never seen as many
as 10 per cent of the total humber: no
body can tell what they do, and he is
sure their work is not what the records
ostensibly indicate. He finds that &C of
these employees bear the same names as
members, and he is curious" to know
how many of these 4zs are related to those
who employ them at the public expense.
Strange. to say, this member is not from
Missouri, but from Tcxas.-Mac0n Tele-

RARE old
DOCUMENT FOUND
HISTORICAL RECORDS THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN LOST OR STOL-
EN- ARE UNEARTHED.
Epi5tIe From Mrs. Lincoln Petitioning
Congress for Pension.

Washington, March 5-Dusty and
musy historical records, some of them
rare and practically all of them long
since lost sight cf, have been found
in enc of the attics of the house of rep
rcseat2tives, up under the very caves
Of the capitol in narrow chamber
asseccibly by long ladders and by
way of dark, half choked passages.
Here the doucumcnts, consisting part
iy cf autograph letters Of Martha Wash
ingtcn, Lafayette, Mrs. Lincoln, George
Washington end others, have nov come
to light
The manuscripts consist cf original
bills of the carly congresses with the
action of the hcrse indicated on them,
.serral letters accoanpa,aJ ..ng bills and
petitions, memorials of State and Terri
torial legislatures, all covering variety
of subjects and most Of them furnish
ing documentary history of great i'm.
pcrtance.
A letter Of Martha Washington t.
cong..ess Concerning the removal of the
remains of the first pres.iIslt from the
crypt in the capitol to Mt. Vernon Is
among the papers recovered. This let
ter was stolen many years ago from a
| Bound volume of original papers, but
was afterwards recovered.
In the claim of one Jones, heir-at-law
OF Col Robert Hanson Harrison of
the continental line, have been found
| Washington. Those letters urged the
appointment Of Colonel Harrison as an
associate justice of the first supreme
court bench.
ON CAPTURE OF CORNWALLIS.
One mcntior3 Washington's feelings
Of gratitude at the cfiitulation CT Corn
wallis. Letters from Jefferson, Lafayette,
| Jay, Monroe and others complete the
evidence in the case.
| Still other letters of Washington and
his contemporaries are scattered through
the archives Some of these must be i'm
mediatelly treated to insure their preser-
vaticn.
Some of the rare letters were shown
today to Speaker Canon. "Uncle Joe'5
was sstonishcd and said he had not
know that any such historical letters
were lost in the garrets Of the capitol.
One Of the letters in which he was
particularly interested was written by
Mrs. Lincoln in 1869 from Germany, in
which the widow of the martyrcd Presi-
dent petitioned congress for a pension.
The letter, as is shown by the endorse
mcnts, was referred in the usual way
to the house committee or invalid PEN
Sions.
The papers also contain many impor-
tant documentary references to private
claims growing cut of the revolution to
Indian wars, the war with Mexico etc.
The house today passed resolution
apprcpriating $500 for the removal OF
rare historic letters to the congressional
library. III 33i

 HOSTESS TO CLAN

One of the delightful events of yester- day was Miss Annie Blinn's heart party, which included the members of the Highland clan and other friends. She entertained at home and her residence, with it's crimson and green, typified the approach of Christmas. Mistletoe was suspended from every chandelier and in- termingled with holly and other ever greens was brightly suggestive of the yvletide. The score cards held Christmas
 wishes and the consolation prize was drawn from cannon crackers which In the hands of small boy would have spelled terror.
 Miss Blinn's classmates assisted her in entertaining her guests and constituted
 receiving party. An ice course and
 other dainties were dispensed in the din- ing room after the games.
 The prizes were especially pretty For
 the consolation the hostess awarded
 dainty silk matinee. To the winner of the first prize she gave silver belt buckle
 and the second trophy was set of collar plnS.
