Fsbbcast 17. 1868 Fxakk Hatton sounds the warning in bis Washington Post, that if the repub lican defeat local option in Iowa the state will be lost to the party entirely . It wsi an odd coincidence that CardN nala Manning and Simeoni were elevated to their highest rank in the church on the same day and died on the same da;. What is mere, the last official letter penned by the English cardinal was by chance addressed to his Vatican confrere, the late prefect of the propaganda. A leading life insurance company Las agreed to pay its late present, who has resigned, the munificent sum of 537.000 a year. This sum is royal in its ampli tude. It is more than most active rail road president receive. It is indicative of the vast expenditures and extravagances that now cbar&c'erizc life insurance com panies. This ixtr&Vigant or at least extraor dinary expenditure by life insurance com panies is a matter that ought to receive more attention than it does from poiicv holders. The money that is paid cut in unutual salaries and pensions and in other methods which strike the uninitia ted as wasteful comes from premiums, and, if the insurance futil is amply pre Ti ded for, represents the money cdlecttd in the foim of prmiums teyoni tbe strict necessities of the c -mpanj. Apparently, although the case is differ ent with otter business cencerns, life in surance corrpanies have not jet felt the tecessity of coming down to a stric.lj economical basis. Tee democrats of the bouse have Ukv n the first step toward turning the l!ght on in dark places by the adoption of resolu tions authorizing investigations of the World's fair, the crocked national bank failures at Philadelphia, and, most im portant of all, the pension office. The resolution under which tbe last investi gation is to be made was reported to ate committee on rules as a substitute for those offered by Representatives Enloe and Cooper, It provides for tbe appoint ment of a select committee ef five to in vestigate tbe methods of business, whether use has been made by the com missioner of his official ' position to promote Lis private affairs or for ptrtisian political purposes, whether there has been discrim ination made between applicants for pen sions or practicing attorneys, whether any of the clerks have taken advantage of their positions to make profits, at. d whether the civil service law has been yiulated by the commissioner. Oa mo tion of Mr. Enloe the resolution was amended to include the methods of the board of pension appeals. This is a big jab, but many are wondering why the resolution did not include tbe charges which have been repeatedly made by re sponsible parties of -fraudulent pension ers whose names are carried upon tbe rolls. Fcrbars, hewever, tbe committee may be able to reach that under the "methods of business" authorization? Like Two-F.dxd (.word. Senator Daniels: One ether sugges tion. The great argument which is made here in behalf of the tin plate monopoly that is to be created, of the cotton tie monopoly that is to be created, and of all the tribes of monopolies which are be ing generated in this bill, the pleasing seductive idea with which it is attempted to humbug tbe present generation of Americans is that if you will put on these high 'axes you will lower the price of the manufactured products, and that as a result of this protection manufactuted products will get cheaper and cheaper Now, gentlemen, just stand to that the ory until you get the next schedule of tiiis bill. "With a flourish of banners and a blow of trumpeti, it is announced to the Amer ican farmer that you propose to protect him in the same way that you have been protecting tbe manufacturer, and you are going to have a high tariff on bis products, o that even the few grains of foreign wheat that come here can come no longer, and so that the triviality of corn and oats and bar ley and other farm products that come here can come no longer. If your theory that these high taxes cheapen the man ufactured products is true, are you not trying to cheapen tbe agricultural pro ducts by applying a schedule to them of which you prophesy the same result? It is because you cannot hold tbe same face on any two schedules of this bill; it is because you are all things to all men and not much to any man, except a mo nopolist, who ia getting rich and richer every day and being better prepared to retaro your compliments to him by get ting np a handsome campaign f nl for you" m : i KEEPING. ACCOUNTS. t EVERY HOUSEWIFE SHOULD KEEP TRACK OF EXPENSES. j Talu. of a System of Household Book keeping Hew a little Attention to Bills and Purchases May Save Consid erable Cnne-essary Outlay. 'Why should I keep accounts?" aj- the young and inexperienced housekeeper. "When I want money my husband gives it to me, and when that ia gone 1 ask him for more. All the bookkeeping in the world can't bri ig money back when once it is spent." True, my dear madam, but if you try the experiment of comparing your expenditu res for a given period under your present system or rather want of system with jour disbursements for the. same length o) time during which you have kept an .w-eount of them, you will see, in all pro' nihility, very clearly that during the latrer period you have spent less and got more for your money. Of course in making such a comparison you must take into consideration any unusual payments such as do not occur regularly. The principal purposes of keeping house hold accounts ire two. First ly. to enable you to see hor much has been spent for each specific pi rpose, and if such expendi ture seem t xci ssive, to ascertain the rea son, and if possible eliminate it. Secondly, to prevent the Hiblity of jiaying for what you have not art., or c.f paying twice for what you have purch.i-.Hl. The machinery required fr keeping housekeeping a -counts is very simple, and ia as follows: A cashbo.'k. showing all money received and paid. Suitable files for receipts aii'l unpaid bill-. A book for each of the tn.cle.-ivoj.ie with whom ac counts are kept. A S;.TLE STsTK'd. The cashlxx'k is kept in the following manner: On the left hand side of the page are entered all amonr.ts received, and the dates ou which t :u-y w ere received. tn the right hand side nre entered all amounts paid, with the .late and tLe purpose for which th.y were paid, and to w bom. It is of the greatest importance that the cash book should he written up at least once a day. as if a Ion ;er interval is allowed to elapse items bee. me forcot ten and omitted. For every amo mt paid a receipt should be obtained, and it is from these receipts that the rashboc k should be written up. The rwe ij.its should then lie put away on a file o const ructe 1 that ny receipt ran be readily found an 1 referred to w ithoiit dis turbing the ;he-s. Accounts shou d be opened with a ltaker, butcher, grocer, ;.rreen grocer, milkman and butterman, and with any other trades people with who n it may be desirable to do so, and these accounts should lie paid every week. If accounts are allowed to run longer than i: week difficulties nre very likc-ly to arise, owing to the impossibility of rememlK-nng iccessary details. Tradesmen wit i whom accounts nre kept must deliver with the goods each day a bill stating distinct' the quantities supplied and the price. TAT KVIT.Y WKKK. Having satisfie 1 herself of the accuracy of the bills, the L msewifc places them on a file (a common spike" w ill answer the purpose i until th end of the week.

Bishop Wilson" h loving kindness was of a sort which inevitably begets love in re turn. One day in the market place a little girl of seven yeais crossed his path. She Was rosy fheek-Pft brir-bt. rml linro nf head and fet, an 3 with a rush of love the gray old bishop patted her head, saying, "God bless you, my thild!" The little maid courtesied. "God bless you. too, sir," said she. "Thank you, el ild, thank you"' said tie good old man. ' I dure say your blessing is as good as niin ." It was customary in those days to employ journeymen as t lilors. One, Danny by name, was making a long walking coat for the bishop, and ui trying it on be made : numerous chalk marks to indicate the place j of buttons. "Xo, no, Danny " said the bishop. "Xo more buttons thai enough to fasten it. One will do. It would ill become a poor min ister like me to go a-glitter with thingslike these." Now Danny had already bought the but tons, and had the n at that moment in bis pocket. Thertfors he was sore discomfited, Vid said, pulling a woeful fuce: ".Mercy ou me, my lord! What would happen to the poo- button makers if every body was of your opinion?" "Button it all over, Danny!" said the bishop. "Button it all over!" Youth's Companion. Coin; I'repared.

Herbert Spencer. kn Woanoa Nood Praiao. Did you ever know the ardent admira tion men have for white If a man be in love with a woman, and baa not yet told her, a white) frock raa!e of soft, pretty material will make him tell her she ia the most adorable woman on earth, and for the moment it is one of those precious illusions that form the charm of life. Do women like these illusions Yes! Yes! They make up for the many miser able momenta of pretense; moments when she looks the world in the face with smil ing lips ami bright words. When among the gay she is seemingly the gayest and ail the while her eyes are full of unshed tears over things w hich she cannot alter. When she grows tired of hiding her true feelings. In concealing her loves and her hatreds. In covering her sorrows even her joys. lien sne tells you she really does not care to go some place or get some particu lar thing, aud all the time her whole being is aching to be gratified. When she looks back and regrets; looks forward and dreads. When she strives to banish thought and strangle memory; and all the while her speech is tilled with mirth and laughter. When her existence is colorless, which she could alter but would not for some one's sake. In such moments as these it is that appreciates these little illusions. Which please her for the moment and then pass away, yet in passing leave a t race. So be not ssmring in words that will lead to them. Do not keep your precious words locked as a miser does his coin; put them in circulation. Ix-t them gftt worn, per haps iu handling, but they will alw ays In sure to bring happiness. So when you see a woman with smiling lips and sad lookingeyes, praiseherl That's what she wants. She is starving for it and her eyes are mutely begging for it. And yet she hides it all and you are so stupid you w ill not sve it. Praise her even exceedingly. She will not believe you, perhaps, but she likes it and will bless you for it. Music and Drama. Sweet Oil for Yours Children. The valuo of sweet oil used in rubbing is not generally appreciated. When a little child has taken cold and seems restless from the effects, nothing is more soothing I than sweet oil rubbed into the skin, liefore a warm fire, with a gentle pressure of the hand. The oil should lie rublied on the soles of the feet, down the lu k and neck ami around th hips, and the little one should Ik- carefully shielded from any draft while this is done. Such a rubbing wiil take the place of the daily bath at a time when the child is suffering from cold, and it is not advisable to expose it any more than is necessary. If the little one Las a cronpy cough and shows signs of hoarseness, a thick flannel saturated with sweet oil and sprinkled w ith camphor, and heated as hot as the child can licar it, should be hud over the chest, high enough to extend around the throat. It should le covered with another flannel or a layer of cotton lalting tore tain the boat. The heated flaunt 1 should be changed for another as soon as it cools. Hy this method the cold of a little child may often be broken up and the most seri ous disease averted. The lungs anil breathing tubes of a little baby are peculiarly delicate, and any child during infancy is very liable to contract serious discuses c.f the lungs from very slight cause. The little one is also cured by very simple remedies, and this layer of riot oil acts as powerfully as a mustard plaster on a grown up person. A child that has Ix-cn suffering .seriously with a cold one day, after carvful treatment of this sort w ill often wake up the day after with hardly a suspicion of illness. There is no lietter laxative than sweet oil for young child. New York Tribune. Intt-llertmil Women. It is often said that study disgusts wom en with domestic labors. This is an error. j If anything diverts us from our daily du ties it is not study, but frivolity.

Moreover, while the diligent hands are busied with humble tasks the mind does not cease to roam. Is it not better that it should ove ln ft oft7 sPhel- the do" main of letters and science, than be occu pied with such wretched subjects as scan dal and gossip? Those who have the high est claim on us should le glad to have us do a little independent thinking. We are drawn closer to those who ordinarily occu- I py our thoughts if we can remove ourselves irom tnem at certain moments. It is one i of lhe privileges especially reserved for women that whatever they do lor them selves couf.rsa lienefit on others. Sadie R. Martin in Irrigation Age. Cliil.lren and Swreii.' American c hildivu are probably allowed greater license in eating sweets than is ac corded tbe juveniles of miy other civilized nation. Kvta Uubitually wise iruaniinns of youth ofteu seem to labor under an im pression that so lomj as a dessert, a cake or a candy is simple.it can do no harm, al though eaten iu large quantities and when a parent is imoraiit or indifferent, the lib erty a child bits to work out his own diges tive destruction is sometimes fairly appal ling. I remember well a small rustic, aued ten, who once horrilied uie by his recklessness in this particular. I caught him eating candy before breakfast and ventured a mild remonstrance. "Sho, that ain't nothing," he replied cheerfully. "Look here!" opening his mouth wide to display two rows of decayed plugs of teeth. "Ma, she says they come that way from eatin candy. 1 most al ways take some to bed with me, an when I wake up in the night I eat it." Not an hour later his grandmother liemoaned to me Tommy's loss of appetite. "He wouldn't eat a mite of breakfast, she said. "But I j guess I'll just hake him up some molasses cookies. He is re:d fond of them, and he'll I eat them when lie doesn't seem to have ap petite for uuythiu else, except candy." Christine T. Herrick iu Habvbood. Gail Hamilton uo Woman's Work.
