November 7, 1891. Thk democrats can observe Thanks Civing day this year without any com punction whatever. And now the republicans are finding a heap of consolation in tbe boast that tbey carried Obio and Pennsylvania, anyway. Thk republican part of Iowa ou?bt to find source for self congratulation in the fact that it will in all probability not be led again by such narrow-guaged, short sighted political beauties as Hutchinson, Wheeler, et al. Davekport Dtsnocrat: Senator John II. Palmer, of Illinois, has been given a back seat in the senate chamber. Before the end of tbe next session of congress Senator Palmer will demonstrate his abil ity to be heard. While it may be a mat ter of personal pride and pleasure with liitn where he sits the majority of the peo ple in Illinois are glad to have him where bis yote will be counted on tbe right si ie. The government census bureau has issued the following interesting statistics upon waterways traffic: In 1SS9. 3.639 tons were carried on tbe Red river of the north, 6.373,448 on the upper Mississippi and its tributaries, 9.080,826 on the lower Mississippi and its tributaries, and 15. 600,439 on the Ohio and its tributaries, a total of 81,058,050 tons of freight moved on all the rivers. Tbe grand total of passengers carried for all tbe rivers of the Mississippi valley was 2,384 243 regular, nd 8,474,646 ferry, a total of 10,858 894. In anal zing the freight traffic it is shown that the principal commodities were wheat, cotton, coal, iron ore, lumber and forest products and cotton seed and cot ton oil. Evert grower of corn and hogs and that means practically all the farmers of the northwest should advise himself the Chicago Post suggests of the difficul ties which have attended the importation 'of American pork at German ports under the new law of the empire. In cases where Secretary Rusk's certificates of purity have been properly attached to the cargo tbe swine have been admitted with out question. But the slightest defect in the wording of the certificate, the small est deviation by careless officials from the exact letter of the law, has more than once furnished occasion for detaining tbe cargo and much delay and expense in consequence. Shippers have tbe right, nd should insist upon it, to exact tbe most minute performance of their duties by Mr. Rutst's officers. The readmisMon of tbe American bog was not procured without difficulty, and it is too valuable a concession to be frittered away or im paired by official carelessness and incom- petence. "Old Bobs, " Frank Flint, is lying on his death bed at his divorcod wife's stoma on the South side in Chicago, says tbe Tribune. He was taken sick some three weeks ago and has had a violent hemorrhage since, which almost proved his death. Since that time he has been enable to take any nourishment, and tbe doctors say he will never be able to leave his bed again. Many memories linger round the name of ' Oid Hoss," as be was known; memories that bring tbe cranks back to the days when base ball was struggling for popularity in its park on the lake front. Flint was one of the great catchers of tbe decade, and to his work was due much of tbe success of Larry .Corcoran, whose remains have just been placed in their final resting place at Newark. Flint bears many marks of rough usage from the days when catchers had little protection. His hands have been tbe subject of maoy t ketches on ac count of their battered and distorted ap pearance. On Friday evening a week ago Hon.Wil liam M.Bpringer spoke in historic Faneuil hall, Boston. Standing room was at a premium, and tbe enthusiasm wss in tense. Tbe Boston Globe commends Mr. Springer's speech and prints it in full. It says he "was evidently well known by reputation to Boston demo crats, for be was accorded a hearty wel come." Tbe speech is a very clear ex , position of the tarifj question, and was received with great applause, fre quently bestowed. At the close of tbe speech the audience gave "three ringing cheers for William M. Springer." The distinguished Illinois citizen spoke Satur day night at Lowell, and Monday night at Lawrence. He will go to New York, and from thence go to Washington and look after his speakership campaign. Mr. Springer has devoted about two months to making speeches for tbe cause of democracy in Iowa, Obio, Michigan and Massachusetts. His services have been in great demand, and be has been welcomed by large and appreciative au diences wherever he appeared. ; THE HANDS. A GRASSHOPPER'S EARS. jCZt- 1 The A ttrlbntes of a Beautiful Hand and How to Secure Them. Tbe chief attributes of a beautiful hand as sun j by bards and written of by novel ists in the description of their heroines, seem t J be whiteness, small ness or shapeli ness. The first and last of these qualifica tions can be acquired, although Dame Na ture miy have withheld the fairylike pro portion so much admired. Roughness, hardness and redness are often attributed to the male hand by writ ers. In "Paradise Lost" there is an allusion to "his red right hand." Climate also has a great deal to do with the color and text ure of the skin. It may often be noticed what hite, slim hands are possessed by American and Anglo-Indian ladies. The enforced idleness induced by tropical heat, or other causes pertaining to modes of life and climate, certainly do produce these white, s ender hands. A grej.t many whitening applications are on the market, some being highly lauded. Before, however, purchasingauy unguents, we woul 1 advise ladies to borrow some of their fatuers' or brothers' evening gloves. For a month or six-weeks these gloves should 03 worn in bed. Apply any good whitening preparation, after washing the hands in warm water and using some good soap. Hub in the whitening unguent, giving an extra rubbing to the backs of the hands. Anything of a greasy nature well rabbed i i tends to fatten, and so atbin band can be made softer. Draw t ie fingers out, and if the tips are flat pinch them persistently, making the object of r.he process to obtain a hnghacked nail. Cart ful manicuriug, of course, makes the nails themselves pretty, but excessive manicuring is injurious. Lastly, draw on the glove, which naturally will be much too big, und fasten them as long as no sense of stopping the circulation is felt. Glyceric and rose water, mixed in the proportions of one-third glycerin to two thirds rose water, is very good for the hands. Tie great secret of success in skin unpuents ,s to find out what suits individ ual cuticles and use it. On going to bed young ladies who suffer from red arms and elbows, or that ugly ap pearance like mottled soap, should thor oughly miissage them with their toilet cream or pomade, and then quickly pow der with any reliable powder. Method of Sterilizing Milk. To kill ail the bacteria usually found in milk and there is always a wonderfully great and diversified army of them it re quires to be heated a few minutes at about 2U4 degs. F. A special steam sterilizer is necessary t attain snch a high temora ture. The same effects may be obtained usually by 1 wiling the milk about thirty minutes. Heating a few minutes between 158 degs. an i 1T6 degs. is sufficient to de stroy temporarily the energy of a large number of milk microbes, including sev eral disease zerms, but does not kill many of them, and is not, therefore, sufficient as a preservative means. This is the temper ature (about 107 degs.), the application of which is known as pasteurization. The Bacteriological World, authority for the foregoing, says that it is not only to destroy disei.se germs that sterilization is indicated. Indeed, in infant feeding it is chiefly to prevent the irritative action of acid produced by microbes, or germs of all kinds, whether truly milk ferments, patho genic bacteria, or organisms harmless un der ordinary circumstances. Milk coagulates, acidifies, under the in fluence or vegetative phenomena of various ferment organisms. The acid produced has the most oaneful action on the delicate stomach and ntestinal canal of the child. Sterilization of fresh milk destroys the property of the germs before any acid is produced by their process of nutrition. LADIES' LUNCHEON. Bow to Seat tlie Guests and an Attractive Menu fur the Occasion. At a ladies' luncheon the hostess takes the head of the table and places the guest of honor at her right hand. Unless cards are used, the hostess should have so clear a:i idea in her own niiud of where each guest is to sit as to be able to direct them to their places without con fusion. It is not necessary for the guests to go in in cou.iles. The hostess usually takes tbe guest of honor, and the others may fall into line as they please. Hat-par's Bazir.which is authority for the foregoing, s tys that "A pretty lunch might comprise bouillon; small squares of fried halibut an 1 Parisian potatoes; either sweetbread pal ties, broiled chicken, or lamb chops with green peas; tomato may onnaise saiatl, ires or charlotte russe, or some other dessert; fruit and coffee; salted almonds and olives as uorsd'eeuvrus. The entree may be omitted if desired. Hints About Invitations. Invitations to small and rather informal entertainments c an be written on a lady's visiting card with perfect propriety, ac cording to an i uthority on '.Manners," though informal notes are more custom ary. In inviting the different members of a family the u.oiie of the daughter or daughters is fret ueutly placed after that of the parents on a card of invitation, but a son should always receive a separate card. When arvi ral sisters in a family re ceive an invitat on addressed to "The Misses,". it is usuiilly understood that not more than two ot them will- avail them selves of the invitation. Invitations for auy general entertainment sent to a coun try house whei-e guests are stopping are as a rule addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Green and party," this nvitation including the sons aud daughtets of the house as well as the visitors. NovcItUas In Note Paper. Fashionable note paper includes pale blue, old pink, ecru aud copper colors. The paper itself is qui plain, makes uo at tempt at oruaoient aud only gains effect by its own beautiful color. Sometimes the top left corner bf bite paper has an imi tation "dog's ear;" oa which a pretty black or red monogram in embossed. Some col ored correspouden cards show a gold edge and small init.als, and are now made in the long shape, v ith eu velopes to match. New gowns are tc be seen with princesse back and coat front). These are designed for reception and carriage toilets. A Fanny State of Affairs Discovered by Modem-Naturalists. Here is a funny state of affairs. A grass hopper has its ears in its forelegs! Sup posing one of your friends had an ear on each of his arms, between the wrist and elbow, would you not think it a very queer place? Vet this is just where ears are situ ated in crickets and grasshoppers, tells a writer in St. Nicholas. PAKT OF LEO OF GRASSHOPPER SHOWTKO EAK. On the tibia of their forelegs may be seen a bright, shiny spot, oval in form, w hich has been found to be a true ear. Old nat uralists supposed these strange structures helped in some way to intensify the pene trating, chirping sounds of crickets. No one for a moment thought they might be ears, and I don't much wonder at it. How ever, Sir John Lubbock and other modern naturalists have decided that crickets, bees, aurs aud other little animals shall not keep their sense organs a secret from ns any longer; and although these are often in the least suspected places, still by careful ex periments they are sure to be discovered, as was tbe cricket's ear. Some grasshop pers have no ears in their legs, and as a rule these cannot sing. While on the subject of ears I have some thing else to tell you. There is a certain member of the crustacean family whose two ears would give you much trouble to find; for where do you suppose they are? In one of the segments of its tail! The part of tbe leg of a grasshopper showing the ear in the illustration is, of course, greatly magnified. A Chicken Story. Very tame hens frequently show a desire to talk in their way, aud it is often possi ble to make out t heir meaning. "One day a Cochin hen," tells a chicken fancier in Golden Days, "came and stood "in front of me, looked me full in the face and com plained loudly of something I could not translate further. Patient investigation revealed that one end of her perch had slipped down, aud Mrs. Buff had no idea of sleeping on an inclined plane. Another time a nervous little Leghorn met me at the henhouse door, fairly screaming and jumping with excitement. I understood from the cackle which finished each sen tence that she had been disturbed on her nest. I did not wonder at ber new powers of cackling when I found the nest occu pied by a cat and three small kittens. When the chickens first begin to move' in the egg, just lefore batching, the mother hen sings to them a low, croouing song, very sweet and never heard at any other time. A friend tells me that her canary startled her one day by an entirely new calL It was so plainly 'Come here quick!' that she hurried to tbe cage to find a big cat, with its face pressed against the win dow pane, staring in at poor Ned a dan ger sufficiently great to account for the call." Song or the Wind. I've a Great deal to do, a trre&t deal to do; Don't speak to me. children, I pray; These little boys' bats must be blown off their heads. And the little girls' bonnets away. There are bushels of apples to gather today. And oh. there's no end to the nuts! O'er many Ions roads 1 must travel away. And many by-lanes and short cuts. There are thousands of leaves lying lazily here ' That needs must be whirled round and round! A rickety house wants to see me, I know. In the most distant part of the town. There are signs to be creaked, and doors to be slammed. Loose window blinds, too, most be shaken! When you know all the business I must do to day. Ton will see how much trouble I've taken. The Good Child. When Tommy Brown came home from school A frown v his brow; His mother "What's as on said. b a p- pened, Tom? What is the mat ter now?" Said Tommy, with a darker scowl. I wish that you could see The way the other children act! They 're bad as bad caa be! "They push and pui Land tear my clothes.

T1mV r .1 ii rnm m mr "IT IS I!" i cannot learn; It is no use to try; There's just one good one In the school. And that one, it is J!" Said Mrs. Brown, "Oh, dear!

And that one, it Is I. '" Little Men and Women. A Lemon Party. "Bring a lemon" Is a puzzling addition to an invitation which is printed ou lemon hued paper. You, however, carry a lemon to the party as you were bid. After all the guests have piled up their golden fruit the lemons are cut and the seeds counted, and the owner of the lemon containing the largest number of seeds is the prize win ner, while the luckless individual whose lemon is seedless, or nearly so, gets a large tin or leather medaL Tbe prize is Usually some inexpensive but pretty trifle, such as a pocket pincushion, a collar button, a silver brooch or a paper cutter. The cut lemons go to make a pitcher of delicious lemonade, which is served with tha usual refreshments of a party. i . t We carry the celebrated line of E. P.
