Rev, Dr. Sitae C. Swallow, prohibi
tion candidate for governor of Pennsyl
vania In 1808, has invited ex-Senator
Quay to join tne prohibition party, as
suring him of appreciation in its ranks.
A committee of the Ohio legislature
declared that Hanna secured his elec
tion as senator by corrupt means. That
charge has repeatedly been made by re
sponsible men. But the virtuous sen
ate which refused to seat Quay on a
technicality still bows to the dictates of
a man who is charged with having
made his elevation to the senatorship a
matter of barter and &ale. When the
senate takes up the charges against
Hanna, investigates them thoroughly
and honestly and actB in accordance
with the Ondlngs, the people will have
some faith in the republican claim that
the g. o. p. is entitled to credit for being
the party of purity.—World-Herald.
An Englnhman'. Tribute to the
Boer.,
A. C. Hales, the South African cor
respondent of the London News, tells
In pathetic words of the heroism of the
Boers. Here is an extract from one of
his recent dispatches:
I saw Borne of these old graybeards,
shattered by oar shells, dying grimly,
with knitted brows and fiercely clinched
jaws saw some of their beardless boys
sobbing their souls oat as the life blood
dyed the African heath.
Those things I have seen, and in the
ears of English men and women let me
say as one who knows and fain would
speak plain, nngilded truth concerning
friend and foe, that not alone beneatn
the British (lags are heroes found. Not
alone at the breaBts of British matrons
are brave men suckled for, as my soul
livetb, whether their cause be just or
unjuBt, whether the right or the wrong
of this war be with them, whether the
blood of the hundreds that have fallen
since the first rifle spoke detiance shall
speak for or against tbem at the Day of
Judgment, they at least know how to
die and when a man has given his life
for the cause be believes in, he is proven
worthy even of bis woret enemy's re
spect.
And it seems to me that the British
nation, with its long roll of heroic
deeds,
wrought the world over, from Africa to
Iceland, can well afford to honor the
splendid bravery and self-sacrifice of
these rude, untutored toilers of the soil.
I have seen them die.
Last fall we were told if the republi
can policy in the Philippines was en
dorsed by the election of Governor
Shaw, that immediately after the elec
tion the natives would lay down their
arms and every evidence of hostility
and opposition would be wiped out.
Shaw was elected by one of the largest
majorities ever given a candidate for
governor, but instead of laying down
their arms the Filipinos are fighting
harder ihon ever. Last week, as told
by the press representatives in the
Philippines, was the "bloodiest of the
war," hundreds of the Filipinos being
shot, while many of the American boys
were laid away under the Philippine
Bod. The natives evidently are deter
mined to continue the fighting until
every "patriot" is either killed or cap
tured. We are now told by the die
patches that both the Filipinos and
Americans are engaged in burning
townB and destroying the country, so
that when American authority IB finally
extended over the island it will be over
a barren waste. More troops are
needed to conquer and bold the coun
try and it will be years before an
American can travel over the Island
with any degree of security. The
natives will hate UB with an undying
hate the same as they have done the
Spaniards for generations and in the
end what have we accomplished Noth
ing but placed ourselves on a par with
the land-grabbing empire of Great
Britain.—Clinton Advertiser.
In a recent article in the New York
Journal Andrew, Carnegie, who enjoys
an income of over 968,000 per day, and
is actively engaged in trying to increase
it, said:
As a rule there is more happiness,
more genuine satisfaction and a truer
life, and more obtained from life, in the
humbl. cottages of the poor than in
the palaceB of the rich.
You know how people are all moan
ing about poverty as being a great evil,
and it seems to be accepted that if peo
ple only had money ana were rich they
would be happy and more useful and
get more out of life. There was never
a greater mistake.
There never has been a com.
rich president since Washington, and,
think, Madison, who had Virginia es
tates. The choice of the people for
any high oflice, and especially for the
presidency, must have a record of hard
work, plain living and simple tastes and
honest poverty. The only rich vice
president in our times was Mr. Morton,
whose extraordinary personal charm
made him a universal favorite and ex
cused his fortune.
I awake from a dream that has car
ried me away back to the days of early
boyhood—the day when the little white
haired Scotch laddie, dressed in a blue
jacket, walked with bis father into the
telegraph oflice in Pittsburg to undergo
examination as applicant for position
as messenger boy at two dollars and
fifty cents a week.
I think that we are all agreed as to
the advisability, nay, the duty, of laying
up a competence, and hence to retain
our self-respect.
That the acquisition of money is the
business of the world arises from the
fortunate fact that, with few excep
tions, young men are born to poverty,
and therefore under the salutary oper
ations of that remarkably wise law
which enacts for their good: "Thou
shalt earn thy bread by the sweat of
thy brow."
It is not from the sons of the million
aires or the noble that the world re
ceives its teachers, its martys, its
Inventors, its statesmen, its
poets, or even Us men of affairs. It is
from the cottage of the poor that all
these spring.
There is nothing so enervating, noth
ing so deadly in its effects upon the
qualities which lead to the highest
achievements, moral or intellectual, as
hereditary wealth.
It iB not the poor young man who
goes forth to his work in the morning
and labors until evening that we should
pity. It Is the son of the rich man, to
whom Providence has not been so kind
as to trust with this honorable taBk. It
Is not the busy maA but the man of
idleneu who should arouse oar sympa
tbytad WIN UI aorrow.

Improving Dairy Boom*.
Modern and improved methods of
butter making cannot ba successfully
carried out unless the Burroundings are
suitable. Ventilation and coolness are
two of the prime requisites for a dairy
room, and its architecture most be
planned accordingly. I know an out
of-door cellar laid up with stone in
mortar and with a cement floor, that
keeps cool in hot weather without the
employment of ice. It is kept well
ventilated by screened windows, no veg
tables are allowed to be stored therein,
and a tool house poBsesBing a double
floor was erected overhead.
If your dairy house or room sets
wholly above ground, other means
must be taken to keep it cool. Kven
should tbe Swedish method or a hand
separator be employed, a temperature
of CO degrees or below ought to be
maintained in the room. In the ab
senceof ice or running water, the floor
and walls may be sprinkled several
times daily with cold water
freBh from the well. Double walls, to
gether with window shutters will do
much to exclude outside heat. The
building should be haded, either by an
other and larger structure, or by trees.
A little dairy houBe may be set in a
grove of trees to great advantage.—

Marketing Butter.
In a bulletin on dairying in Califor
nia the agricultural department says,
that practically all the beat creamery
butter sold on tbe Pacific coast is In
squares of about two pounds each.
This method of handling butter iB ex
cellent in some respects, but it is sub
ject to criticism in two important fea
tures: First, there is now no uniformity
in the weights of the squares. One
creamery sends cases of 60, 1% pound
squares, or 105 pounds, to Sacramento,
and to the same market another cream
ery sends cases holding 60. squares, ag
gregating 101 pounds. This latter
creamery also sends to San Francisco
cases holding 60 squares of 93 pounds.
It muBt be both confusing and annoy
ing to handle squares of such varying
weights, and no really good reason for
the practice was found. Doubtless
many people who purchase butter do
not notice the difference in weights,
but consider all squares alike, and the
seller who can shave off tbe most
without being suspected is the gainer.
Such competition is not only discredit*
able, but dishoneBt. The second criti
cism of the method of marketing but
ter relates to the packages. Eastern
dealers have learned that it Is more
economical and satisfactory in many
ways to use cheap but neat boxes for
shipping, which do not have to be re
turned, than to use the heavy and ex
pensive trunks or chests that were so
common only a few years ago. These
latter are continually being lost and
broken, cause annoyance at both ends
of the line and require muoh labor for
proper cleaning (and this is too often
neglected), while the cheaper package,
have not these objections.
A correspondent of The National
Stockman and Farmer says that if til
butter put on the market were brand'
edtlio quality in a very short time
would be improved, as each brand
would then stand on the merits of the
product it represents. So long as good
butter must be sold at an average
price, so as to pay the groceryman to
handle inferior grades, making the
profits on tbe best grade, bear him
out there is no incentive for the but
ter maker to improve her quality of
butter. I use the pronoun advisedly,
for the great bulk of butter Is yet mad.
by the farmers' wives. oThe person
who makes a really good article need
not fear detriment to his trade to offer*
hiB product for Bale un.'er a private
brand.
One butter maker who packed a good
quality of butter in firkins was allow
ed by her marketman 1 cent extra on
the pound for simply writing the fuot-|
ly initial in blue on the lid of each
firkin. The customers soon learned
the handwriting and knew it represent
ed a good quality of butter. Another
woman molds her butter Into pound
blocks and is allowed by the market
man 2 cent, extra per pound. She
uses a home made butter mould, a rec
tangular box, which makes the block
5 inohes long, 8 Inches wide and 2
Inches deep, containing 30 cubic inches.
The mould has a loose bottom on which
is carved an unassuming fern leaf, but
which on careful scrutiny is the family
initial. Therels a plain band one-half
Inch wide around tbe outside of this
bottom piece. This is lowered to the
depth of a quarter Inch. Tbe fern
leaf is lowered scarcely a quarter inch.
When the block of butter is finished,
the outside band serves as a protector
for the fern leaf when it becomes nec
essary to pile one block on top of the
other.

people knew how to walk up stairs

®Sff
Food Injurious to Butter.
In the spring and summer cows will
often wander into low fields and swamps
and eat weedB and wild plants that
affect the taste of tbe butter, says E.
P. Smith in the American Cultivator.
There is sometimes a strong odor to it
and again a decidedly bitter taste. This
is first noticeable in tbe milk and cream
and the procesB of churning does not
eliminate the trouble. The only sure
way to prevent such odors and disa
greeable taste in the butter in summer
is to root out all weeds and noxious
plantB from the pasture. If the latter
is in a rundown condition, where weeda
thrive end grass dies, it will be pretty
hard to make the food of the cows good
enough to produce excellent milk and
cream. It will pay better in such
cases to rent more and better pasture
fields and
the old one with new
seed and fertilize it well. Most tainted
and bitter summer butter comes from
farms where the cows are pastured on
wornout grassfields.

Why There Wu Ho Room.
When he was a young man. Senator
Hale of Maine, like many young men
who have later on In life made their
mark in the world, was not without
that egotism which Is said to be an
dement of success.
On one occasion Mr. Hale was rid
ing In an old fashioned stage coach
with'Semitor and Mrs. Frye. The only
other^ij^issenger was an- Irish woman
past middle life, rather comely of face,
who wore enormous hoops, 'fashiona
ble at that period. To amuse his fel
low passengers Mr. Hale pretended to
be much enamored of Biddy and would
sidle up close to her as If he were about
to put his arms about her, look unut
terable things at her and entertained
himself and hlB companions at the
good natured creature's expense. Final
ly at one of the stations a man put his
head in the door and asked If there
was any room to be had Inside tho
coach.
"No," said Mr. Hale. "All the seats
are taken." Then turning to the Irish
woman and looking Into her eyes with
great tenderness he said:
"There Isn't any room in here, la
there? We don't want any one else In
here, do we?"
"No," said Biddy, with a delightful
brogue. "My hoops are pretty large,
and I see you feel pretty large, and
there is no room here."—Detroit Free
Press.

In March, 1815, the Paris Monlteur
announced the expected return of Em
peror Napoleon from Elba. The first
announcement of the Monlteur was
far from polite, but as the little Oor
slcon approached Paris a gradual
change took place In Its tone:
"The cannibal has left his den."
"The Corslcnn wolf has landed In
the bay of San Joan."
"The tiger has arrived at Gay."
"The wretch spent the night at
Grenoble."
"The tyrant has arrived at Lyons."
"The usurper has been seen within
SO miles of Paris."
"Bonaparte Is advancing with great
rapidity, but he will not put hlB foot
Inside the walls of Paris."
"Tomorrow Napoleon will be at our
gates."
"The emperor has arrived at Fon
talnebleau."
"His Imperial majesty Napoleon en
tered Paris yesterday surrounded by
his loyal subjects."
A
Row at the Show.
The lord mayor's show Is an annual
theme for the newspapers. Very little
can be said about It that has not been
sold again and again. It costs about
£2,000, the banquet from £2,000 to £3
000. The show has sunk during tho
century to borrowing some of Its splen
dors from tbe "property num." There
by hangs a tale.
A certain lord mayor hired from the
Surrey theater two suits of armor,
brass and steel, with a couple of su
pers to go inside them. The manager
of the Surrey stipulated, by the way,
that tho steel armor should not be
used If the day be a wet or a foggy
one. After the show the men In armor
were taken to the Guildhall, remain
ing there several hours without food.
No one, It appears, was able to rid
them of their Ironmongery.
Wine was given them, and the man
of brass became Intoxicated. The by
standers, thinking If he fell about that
he would Injure others as well as him
self, tried to eject him. But ho show
ed fight, and, to add to their further
dismay, his companion In arms Joined
htm. They were overcome at last only
by sheer weight of numbers. Then
the maker of the armor was sent for.
He eventually succeeded In freeing th?
men, who were In danger of belnj
stifled by the weight of their equip
ment—Good Words.

Hints
Housecleaning is hard enough without making
it needlessly hard. Use borax or ammonia in
cleaning woodwork or windows and you lighten
the labor and get better results.
While you're at it
there are many little things that can be improved
in appearance. Furniture can be polished, dingy
spots painted, stained or varnished. We have
paints, stains, etc., all ready for the brush and put
up in handy little cans. Everything made bright
and new by the use of these little things that cost
so little.
