HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

l Ammonia is an excellent cleanser l for porcelain, but when dirt and grease It will do the work thoroughly. Ap- ply with a rag and wipe oH with warm Soa psuds.
 To prevent raisins or entrants from dropping to the bottom of the pan, first put in a layer of dough without them and then add the dough to which the raisins. well houred. have been mixed.
 lar is noistened with glycerine and
 water after ironing and before folding it over there will be little danger of it's cracking This solution will make the fabric pIiable.
 For a quickly prepared and dainty desert, put halves of canned pears with some of the syrup into individual dishes, cover the tops with whipped cream and sprinkle with grated cocoa Tut or dot with cherries.
 If the entire woodwork of a house is washed every two or three months with ammonia water and corners and shelves of drawers are sprinkled with powdered borax. insects and bugs of all descriptions will seek a home else- where.
 When carpet is to be cleaned it is well to remove all grease spots first. This is best done by. scrubbing them well with a clean brush dipped in warm strong soapsuds. When the scrubbing process is finished. wipe the spots well with a cloth dipped in ann nfonia water.
 To clean white marble, put a lump of sada about the size of an egg into a pot containing half a pint of water and teaspoonful of soft soap. Heat it almost to boiling and paint it on the marble while hot. Leave it on a day or two and then wash off with warm water and clean flannel.
 A splendid filling for soft cushions may be made by taking dimes worth of cotton batting. cutting it into small squares and heating it in a baking pan in the oven for half an hour. care be- ing taken not to let it scorch. Each little square will puff up to twice it's size and will be light and fluffy as feather
 Cracked porcelain can be admirably mended if it can be tightly tied or clamped together. with edges perfectly dry, and is then boiled for at least half an hour in skinned milk. Re move the milk from the stove and let the porcelain stay in it until the milk is cold If this is properly done the pieces will stick firmly together and the crack will be hard to find.
 Nuts are very nutritious, and if eaten at proper times prove a good substitute for meat. At this season, however they are not generally of good quality and should only be serv- ed salted or in cooked dishes. Olive oil. cream and butter are all nourish- ing, and should be indulged in freely. 1 Macaroni. spaghetti and the various rcodles are not only healthy but cas- ily digested by the weakest stomach.

 But, in Connecticut, divorce has been decreasing, somewhat an effect which is attributed to the growth of Catholic population and the teachings of the Catholic church.
 As far back as 1861 there was one divorce granted for every 13 mar riages.@ The relation has been slowly changing for many years. This is an excellent state of affairs, when it is considered that in most other states, during the same period, the number of divorces have been increasing, relative to population.

FOOD INSPECTION IS
SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
CITY BOARD WORKING ON AN OR
DlNANcE THAT WILL IMPROVE
SANITARY CONDITIONS.

The city board OF commissioners
last night held a meeting to take into
consideration an ordinance, providing
for the inspection OF food products,
slaughter houses. milk and dairy pro
ducts ami such other things "a come
under the pure food laws of the state
and as require to be placed under the
supervision OF the city for the purpose
of protecting the health of the town.
DR.. Mari state inspector, was here
and gave them a concise and iorciblc
/ talk on the necessity OF having such
an ordinance.
I Beprese natives OF the different oc-
cupations embraced under the provis-
ions of the ordinance We're also pres.
ent and presented their views.
This morning the board resumed its
/ consideration OF the ordinance ana
consumed the greater part of the day
in going over its provisions. The
city attorney was present and gave
them such advice as was deemed nee
essary in the matter.
II is quite evident that the board is
thoroughly in earnest in its endeavors
to formulate an ordinance that will be
for the betterment OF the city's san
itary conditions.
They evidently propose to let no
personal considerations of any one op-
posed to such regulations to stand in
the way, but propose to put an or
dinance in force that must be obeycd
by all alike and place the city in the
line of modern methods regarding san
itary propositions.
There are few questions that are
more important. few that require
more drastic attention than the en-
forcement of pure food conditions and
It is commendable upon the part of the
board to take this matter up and place
the city under the supervision of such
an ordinance.

devoted his energies TO this branch
of work in and about Detroit.
Smuggling of this kind is always
more or less spasmodic," said In
spector Frick in discussing the ques-
ton. Those engaged in getting Chi
nese into the United States will
start at given point. sending two
or three through the lines together.
If successful they send another con
signment and then another. If the
Chinese are caught the smugglers be.
come more cautious. but they proba-
bly, will continue their attempts un-
til repeated capture has shown them
that the Immigration officers are
aware of what is transpiring and
are watching the border so closely
there is no chance of success Then
they move on to some other point
and follow the same tactics until
things get too warm.
The system employed by those
interested il getting Chinese into
the United States is such that
they can tell in short order whether
Chinaman reaches his destination
or not. Expense money is advanced
the smusglers, but their pay is
conditional upon delivery of their
charge to one of his cOuntrymen at
given point. If he fails to show up
no more money is forthcoming, so II
behooves the smuggler to make thor

with his services. That is why while

Topeka, Kan. May 24.-On May 7th
story sent out under Topeka date
line, enormously connected the name
of Mr.. L. ID. Mikesell with a case de-
cided on that date in the Kansas su-
preme court.
The story states that the court had
decided. in case appealed from VIII
son county, that when a jointist has
been pardoncd from Jail the county
must pay the costs,
The following sentence occurred in
the story: "In this case +. ID. Mike

but the county refused to release him
unless he would pay $1,000 costs"
1t develops that the correspondent
who prepared the story enormously
connected it with another case OF diff

Mr.. Mikesell is an attorney at Law
at Fredonia, Kan. The story above
referred to, which intimates that h,

to have been incorrect and does Mr.
Mikesell a grave Injustice.
