Unpopularity of the Hocrotury with Ills Own Tarty. Secretary Carlisle's friends say his letter docs not take hlin out of the list of nomination possibilities. The letter fcnid lie thought his duty to his party would "be best performed by declining lo participate in a contest for the nom ination," and it added thnt he would rc frard the indorsement of his course by his state in the national convention as a reward for what lie has "been able to accomplish in behalf of honest ad ministration and of sound financial pol icy." All this means that whlio he will not enter into any scramble for the nomination he would be pleased to have his state give him a complimentary otc in the Chicago contention. His admirers are justified in considering this a declaration that, in tho cant of tlie day, ho Is "in the hands of his friends." In -j n important sense the nomina tion of Secretary Carlisle would bo an advantage to his party. The Courier- 'THE TWO Touiso Hill to Henrietta Gorman Urul.). -"How Journal well says, in speaking of the cjucstion of his candidacy, that "to the -democratic party it brings squarely diomo the issue whether it is to continue ,to be the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Jlcnton and Cleveland, or whether it is ito set up strange gods and lend the priceless prestige of its name and his tory to an alien faith." Jackson's financial doctrino is rejected by the Harrises and Dates of Jackson's party in his state, and the Vests and Glands of Denton's commonwealth disown the principles of Uenton's creed. The democracy of tho earlier age was blind and perverse on some questions, but it was always elear-visioned on the mon etary issuo in whatever shape it pre sented itself. In the "30's," "40's" and "50's," when the democratic party was run by statesmen, he would have been a bold man rtho would rise up in a dem ocratic council and propose a financial policy which would repudiate half of the existing debts and cut down the workingraan's dollar to 50 cents. lThere is not the faintest probability, oT course, that Carlisle can get tho can didacy. Carlisle's doctrino is tho doc 1nne of the majority of the democratic parly, and it will bo indorsed, in one shnpc or other, by the national conven tion, but tho convention will look else where for a nominee. A sound-money man will bo selected, but Morrison, Campbell or Whitney will be much Htruugcr in the convention than Car lisle can be. While the secretary is able, honest nnd true to the traditions of his party in ite best days, ho is not personally popular, and he could com mand little support in tho convention outside of his own state, except in New iYork or New England. Yet Carlisle is inoro prominently identified with the honest money cause than any other democrat except Cleveland, nnd his nomination would placo the party back on its old baso on the finance issuo and put it in shape to take advantago of he conditions when fortune, some time in the future, again turns in its favor. St. Louis Ulobe-Domocrat. CThcre is this year disinclination at democratic and third-party meet ings and conventions to discuss the tariff. Four years ago they were nil eager to talk about the tariff and to ex plain wherein the protectionists were .at fault. They suy nothing about this now. They aim to convey the impres sion that the tariff is not an issue, nnd jet l hey know that it is the most vital .of the practical questions before the lroph. They dare not say anything .til'uifict It. and it is against their prln- vipics to say anything for it. Chicago iter Ocean. sSWMiiSII i I IPUs- -sSMBN K HI I ' , Lil) BAD FOR THE FARMERS. u The Wilson-Gorman Tariff Fatal to Agri cultural Interests, An examination of the treasury re ports showing the Imports and exports of variousarticles indicates an enormous increase in importation of nearly all farm products since the repeal of tho McKinley law. On nearly every such article the new tariff reduced tho rates of duty. On barley, for instance, the HfcKinley tariff was 30 cents per bushel; the Wilson tariff named the rate at 30 percent, ad valorem, which reduces the actual rate to about 15 cents per bushel, cr one-half the McKinley rates. On corn the rate was reduced from 15 cents to 20 per cent, nd valorem, which is about eight cents a bushel at present prices. On wheat tho reduction was from 25 cents a bushel to 20 per cent, ad valorem, which amounts to about 12 cents per bushel. On eggs tho into was reduced from five cents to three cents per dozen; on hops from thirteen to eight cents; on flaxseed from 30 cents to 20 cents; and on wool, where the rate was from 11 to 12 cents per pound in some and from 32 to 50 per cent, nd valorem in others, tho entire duty was removed. In other words, rates of duty was reduced about one-half on oil farm products, except wool, and on that the duty was entirely removed. It is not surprising then with rates on duty reduced one-half on most articles pnd entirely removed on others thnt the farmers are finding the importa tions of their productions rapidly in creasing. In many cases the increases have been something enormous. In the last fiscal year under the McKinley law tho importation of bailey was but 791, 000 bushels, while in the first year undor the Wilson law it was 1,325,000 bushels. The number of imported animals, in cluding horses, sheep and cattle, giove than doubled, the total in the last year cf the McKinley law being 250,000, w hile in the first ycarof the Wilson law itwas 573,000. In the last year of the McKinley ORPHANS." O ktuty'Rviu,!i . cold it is this ycarl" Chicago Record law the importations of hay amounted to 80,000 tons,, while in the first year ot tho Wilson law they amounted to 279, 000 tons. The importations of flax in tho last year of tho McKinley law was 4,000 tons, in the first year of the Wilson law 0,000 tons. Of hemp, the importa tions in the last year of tho McKinley Inw wero less than 2,000 tons, while in tho first year of the Wilson law they were over 10,000 tons. Tho following table will show in de tail the quantities of farm products im ported in the first year of the Wilson law compared with the last fiscal year cf the McKinley law. These two annual periods are selected because they are tho ones most readily touching the dates at which the new law went into effect. The government's official statements are made up either by fiscal years end ing June 30, or calendar years ending December 31. As the new law went into effect August 28, the fiscal year ending Tunc 30, 1894, and the calendar year be ginning January 1, 1895, arc tho annual periods most nearly touchingthc date of the change from McKinley tariff to the Wilson-Gorman tariff. It is interest ing, therefore, to compare the Importa tion of farm products during tbeso two periods. In a few ca3s where the fig ures cannot be obtained by pounds, bushels or tons, tho values are given. The following table shows tho impor tations of farm products under the Mc Kinley law in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, compaied with tho im portations under the Wilson bill in the calendar year beginning January 1, 1895: IMPORTS OP FARM mODUCTS.

Made of Boards and llullt at an Kxpenss of Ten Dollars. In our kitchen we do not have enough closet room nor a place to keep a Hour barrel. In this sketch the lower closet is for a flour barrel, over the top of which a shelf swings, as I have indi cated by the dotted line. This is sup ported by a bracket, and makes a nice place for a baking board. Under the shelf is n slide which covers the barrel, and thus, when shut up, there are two coverings, which keep the flour perfect ly clean. Over this is a small closet, which can be used for spices nnd ex tracts. The large closet can be used fur tho dishes. Wo have two small ill lljjlljb- il COXVIiMENT KITCIIK.N DUESSEU. drawers, one for caseknives and forks, the other for cooky cutters and other small utensils. Another a little larger is for disli towels. Then there are two latge drawers, one for face towels and clean kitchen aprons, the other for papers nnd recipe books. The dresser is made mostly of boards and can be built for ten dollars. Orange Judd Farmer. DARNING STOCKINGS. In a Great Many Canes the Game's Not Worth the Candle. There is u sort of sentiment prevalent among gentlewomen against casting away wornout stockings that may be carried to u ridiculous extent. A great many women spend laborious hours darning stockings thnt are only fit for tho ragbag. The woman who wears undarned stockings is the popular idea of a sloven. She may have a rent in her dress and decide that the gown is past its usefulness and will not pay for mak ing over, nnd no one will criticise her. l!ut woe unto the unhappy girl who innocently decides that it is cheaper to buy new stockings than mend her old ones. All her friends are likely to write her down us nn extravagant person. Although good stockings are wortli no more than 35 cents a pair, she is ex pected to patiently darn nnd redarn them, until scarcely a thread of the original .substance is left on the feet. The prejudice against casting away wornout stockings dates back to those days when a stocking was an expensive article. It was not until the time of Klizabeth thnt knitted hosiery was known, nnd although about this time William Lee, a delinquent Oxford stu dent, invented the stocking loom, stock ings did not become v cry cheap until an American applied power or steam to the loom. To-day stockings are so cheap that it doc3 not pay anyone to spend hours wearing out eyesight and pa tience dnrningandredarnlnghdlesthat ore pretty certain to appear again the next week.

The following receipt has been found specially effective in stubborn cases of rheumatism: One new egg well beat en, half a pin of vinegar, one ounce.of spirits of turpentine, half an ounce of camphor. These ingredients must first be beaten together thoroughly, then put in a bottle and shaken for ten min utes, after which it should be corked tightly to keep out the air. In half an hour it will be ready for use. It should be applied three or four times a day, and for rheumatism in the head It should be rubbed on the back of the neck nnd behind the ears. It will keep for an indefinite time, nnd, in fact, is rather improved by age. As to l'ollshcd Finger Nails. Polishing the finger nails until they resemble an advertisement for stove or silver polish is a crime against good taste. It ranks with the wearing of diamond earrings to market and other barbarities. Tho nails need sufficient rubbing with the chamois brush after the hands have been washed to revive them from the dinginess imparted by water. But the rhlnestone-like glow which was the pride of the well-manicured a few years ago is considered atrocious now. The use of paste and of coloring matter to Increase tho lus ter is utterly abolished. Origin of tho High Uandshak.

Why It Is Dishonorable to Break Faith with Boys and Girl. Parents and others constantly make promises to little children which they have not the slightest intention of ful filling. It is a promise for this nnd a promise for that, and the only excuse for neglecting to keep it (as is usually tho case) is that promises are soon and easily forgotten by children. What lessons for mothers and fathers to instill into young minds I How many times a day are not sonic children threatened with punishment for the repetition of some mischief or offense, which is never carried out? Tho little ones become so accustomed to such threats thnt they arouse neither fear nor respect. Promises and threats should never be made unless one is prepared to fulfill them. Promises are often required of little children when they neither know nor understand what sacred engagements they are. Unless the parent respects his promises, how are the children to estimate the value or worth of them? Is it right that children should be com pelled to give promises with never a thought of the burden of responsibility, or with but a faint idea of w hat loyalty or disloyalty to the obligation may im ply? Be honest with the children. If you promise, if you threaten, see that both are fulfilled. It will teach the children to respect their own word when given, nnd act as a moral bracer on many a nature. Prairie Fanner. BLACK DRESS GOODS. Valuable Hints About the Best Method of Cleaning Them. Nearly everyone nowadays has or wants a black gown, and buch goods as serge, cheviot, cashmere, Henrietta, etc., are easily cleaned. First remove the gtense sputa with naphtha, and re member that this fluid is very explosive when exposed to either light or fire. Make a lather of warm soapsuds, using a good, not strong, soap, and a tea spoonful of borax to every two quarts of water. Into' this dip the goods up and down and wash between the hands; then ring gently and pat partly dry; hang in the bhade, nnd w hen nearly dry Iron on the wrong side with a moderate ly warm iron. Always rinse once in lukewarm water, and iron until the fabric is perfectly dry. Never rub a fabric that is being renovated on the washboard, nor wring it tightly, and in using naphtha remember that it roughens the hands, and that after using it it is well to put vaseline upon them and to wear old gloves. Wash al paca in the same manner as cashmere, adding a little gum arabio to the rins ing water. If the black goods are of a rusty color restore them by sponging with ammonia and alcohol. Always use a piece of the same material or one near to it to sponge with. PRETTY PINCUSHION. How to Use a Little Japanese Doll to Ex cellent Advantage.

Stains of rust may be removed froa fine linen and similar fabrics without injury to the material. The articles must be first well soaped, as-if thty were to be washed in the ordinary way. An iron is heated and on this laid a wet cloth. When tho heat makes the cloth steam the rust stain Is laid on it and a little oxalic acid is rubbed oa with tho finger. The heat and the moisture, hasten the c,uect of the ncld on tho rust, and when this has disappeared the soaping and washing may be continued. Children Should Havo Single, Beds.
