Senator Tillman, a Democrat and
a defender of President Wilson, says
that the appointment of Brandeis to
the Supreme Bench was a reply to
the Gary dinner of Col. Roosevelt.
If the Presidents friends choose to
take that view of it, we Republicans
can't be blamed if WI accept the in
Gerpretation. But if that be the case,
lit is the first time in our recollection
THAT q President has let not merely
roartisan but personal politics infiu-
esnce the appointment of a Supreme

Wilson's latest somersault lands
him in a position favoring a tariff
commission. 1t is to be, of course,
non-partisan and scientific" In
view of the manner in which Wilson
made his appointments to the FEEDER
al Reserve Board and the Federal
Trade Commission, we suggest that
wisdom on his part would demand
that the tariff commission bill should
be framed so as to provide, in definite
terms, for the appointment of an
equal number of Republicans and
Democrats in it's membership.

Argentine shipments of wool to the
limited States are increasing at a
great rate under the provisions of the

ELIMINATING THE SANDBARS
Work of Thirty-One Years to Give
Astoria a Great Inland
Harhor.

At the mouth of the Columbia river
a curious and interesting work, be-
gun in 1885, Is now nearing compile
ton. Miles Of trestles and piling
stretch far out into the ocean, form
ing jetties which are to free the re-
gion of sandbars. Already seven
mile barrier has been erected on the
south side of the channel and a short
er one to the north is now receiving
finishing touches, says Popular Me-
chanics. The space between the piles
is filled with rock, the material being
carried out over the trestles by means
of dump cars on narroW-gauge rail-
road. Nearly 100000 tons of rock
will be used in the whole project, the
placing of which, together with other
expenses, represents an expenditure
of s15,50O,000. The port of Astoria,
Ore, situated eight miles from the
mouth of the Columbia, will be made
one of the largest fresh-water harbors
in the world at the final completion
of the work. The river there is about
six miles wide, the city possessing a
protected harbor 20 miles long.
Dredges have been installed to assist
currents created by the jetties in keep
ing the channel free from sand accu-
mutations.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

When ironing it is very good plan
to get clean brick, a white one if
possible, as a stand The iron will re-
tain heat much longer than If an open
ironstand be used.
When boiled and unboiled eggs get
mixed, spin them, and the boiled
ones will spin round quite fast, while
those which have not been cooked will
hardly spin round once.
Tar may be removed from the hands
by rubbing with the outside Of fresh
orange or lemon peel and drying i'm
mediately. The volatile oils dissolve
tar SO that it can be rubbed of.
When buttons are taken from an old
dress they should be strung on string
before putting them into the button
box
When the hair is dry, lusterless and
brittle try rubbing few drops of cas-
tor oil we'll into the scalp.
A little lemon juice added to the wa
ter in which the hair is washed will
keep 1t light and at the same time act
as a tonic to the scalp.
1t is said that the hands may be
speedily whitened by rubbing them
well for three nights successfully
with sweet almond oil and then dust
ing over them as much fine chalk as
they will retain.

PAYING SALARIES TO WIVES
Discussion Started In Periodical De-
voted to Women-Husband Is the
Real Provider.

About the most foolish proposition
that has been advanced for some time
Is the discussion now going on con-
corning the payment Of salaries to
wives. The discussion started some
time ago in a periodical devoted to
women, and it has been raging" ever
since, with now and then some good
soul advocating that the. wife be paid
regular wages, and the household ex-
penses be apportioned properly-and a
lot more of the same line.
The ideal home is the one where
the wife Is not bothered with finances,
where the husband Is the provider-
and provides In this ideal home the
wife knows the standard of living
which should be maintained, and the
husband is not annoyed in any way
with apportioning the household ex-
penses. The wife has what she wants,
because she wants only what the fam
lily can afford, and the husband takes
care of all expenditures, whether in
the way of money outlay or by pay
ing all bills promptly. In the ideal
home the question of money is seldom
mentioned, for the reason that 1t does
not have to be mentioned. The hus-
band sees to 1t that the wife is -
provided with funds.-Dayton

Modernizina a Municipality,

Stranger" said Broncho Bob,

II wouldn't like to say off-hand.
Why do you want to know"
We'll, Crimson Gulch has just elect
ed mayor. He's mighty popular an
there amt enough regular wages goes
with the job to make it worth his
while. The boys wouldn't stand for
no rough work in the way of his help
in hisself, but they wouldn't mind
somethin' neat an regular in the way
of a rake-of or kitty, such as they've
been, in way, used to. So we want
to send a commission to some town
to study high-class graft, SOS we kin
fix him up proper an comfortable"

True PoijteneSS,

"Civility costs nothing" is a COM
mon saying, but the truth is, it goes
without saying, for it is self-evident.
But incivility often costs much. 1t has
been known to cost a man his position,
or his opportunity for advancement,
and many other things besides. A
churlish answer, or forbidding man
ner, is often the turning-point which
brings disappointment and disaster.
Courtesy first" is the motto of GER
tain large establishment in western
city. All the employees, clerks, and
others, associated in the enterprise,
wear bright buttons with these words
upon them, and it is a genuine pleas
ure to be waited upon by any of them.
The atmosphere throughout the whole
building breathes good will. Perhaps
the courtesy does cost something
some self-denial, some patience and
forbearance, but the returns overpay
any such outlay. And let us always
remember the definition:
True politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way"

To Wash Feather PiIIows,

1t is possible to wash pillows with
out removing the feathers. Boil in
borax water, to which small guam
tity of ammonia has been added. Use
half teacupful of borax to boiler
full of water and add a teaspoonful Of
ammonia. Boil Is or 20 minutes.
After removing pillows from the boil
er, scrub the tick, IL badly stained.
by laying on a washing board and ap-
plying suds with stiff brush. Rinse
in two or three waters and hang out
on the line in shady place to dry.
Shake pillow and change ends two or
three times a day. Bring pillows into
the house before dew falls or 1t rains,
as it takes a long time to dry pillows
at best. This process makes the
feathers light,

HELPS IN HOUSECLEANiNG
Closet Where There May Be Orderly
Arrangement of Utensils Makes
the Work Easier.

No one thing does more to help easy
cleaning than some kind of house
cleaning closet. This may be placed
under the back stairs, in rear hall,
or even in back porch. 1t should be
wide and shallow, preferably not more
than foot or eighteen inches in depth,
to accommodate buckets, pals. scut-
ties, etc. One of the most successful
closets l know of is built on back
porch of house in the country. 1t Is
about a foot wide and has a narrow
shelf extending across at the height OF
about five feet On this shelf are kept
cleansers, ammonia, stove polish,
bathbrick and many other bottles and
pans of cleaning necessities. Under
the shelf are fastened small holders,
into which are slipped the various
brooms, mops and tools having long
handles, thus keeping each separate
and in shape. Small hooks are placed
lower down, on which are hung Ian
tern, tin basins, carpet-beater, etc.
Several high hooks are reserved for
holding macintosh and farm clothing.
and boots share the lower space with
buckets and pails.-Woman's Home

Flavor of "Gruqru."

The palm grub was called "grugru"
in the West Indies. It was there that
the late Sir John La Forey learned to
eat it. AS he was thought to be man
somewhat more particular than the or
binary individual in his choice of food,
he found listeners when he discoursed
on the great delicacy and the delicious
flavor of the palm grub.
The Greeks served the grub instead
Of fruit A novel way of preparing it
at the table was to take the worm,
roasted. from a plant which was
brought in by slave. The Grecian
epicurcs were high in their praise Of
the grubs.

YEARS ARE HELD IN LEASH
II You Would Live Long Go Over to
Halifax County, Va, and Hear
Mr.. Thomas Bruce.

If any of these authorities on what
will they please drop around to the
Wolcot hotel and discuss the matter
with Thomas e. Bruce of Halifax coun-
ty, Va? Mr.. Bruce, who is eighty
years young, has some definite ideas
on the subject, and he knows where
the years may be successfully interned
SO that they are harmless.
That beneficent spot is Halifax coun-
ty, Va, sub! 1t is beyond doubt the
most wonderful spot on the whole
green earth. If Metchnikoff, who
made goats milk popular by discover
ing that the Bulgarians who drank it
managed to live long time, had only
gone to Halifax county instead, there
would be less artificial buttermilk on
the market now.
Believe all of this from Mr.. Bruce.
The other day he halted in the foyer
Of the Wolcott, where he has been
coming for many years, to hear one
man condole with another over the
death Of his father, seventy-five years
old.
"He died of old age" the grieving
one said.
"Old age?" broke in Mr. Bruce, in
dignantly. "Old age? Why, l am
eighty years old-or young-myself
My mother lived to be ninety-six years
old, my father was past ninety when he
went on and / have an uncle living
and in good health at one hundred and
four This old age is tommy rot, al
though 1 suppose people can't live
long around here. They should come
to my country, where the years are
held in leash
And that is-?"

SanitsriIv Clean.

To keep house in a perfect sani-
tary condition does not mean that you
must be sweeping, busting and scrub
bling all the time. Let the air and sun
shine into every part of the house; do
not allow any decaying matter to accu-
mulate in the cellar; wash and dry all
cleaning cloths, tubs, pals, etc., as
soon as you have finished using them.
1t is not so much the dust that is in
full sight, as the dust. dampness and
decay in dark places, that makes
dwelling unsanitary. Brooms. brushes,
busters, ETC., need frequent washing
anG thorough drying.

Guiding the structure of the casket,
having disappeared in light ash or gas

nails are removed by magnet and
about four ounces of pure ash remain.
