Just at this season, when the world is full of brides, and sunbursts and stars and other dazzling "gifts of the groom" seem as common as plain gold wedding rings, a hint on how to clean diamonds artfully may not come amiss. The stones should tlrat he washed in warm water and yellow soapsuds, with a small but not too hard brush. Rinse and dry them carefully with a soft doth or silk handkerchief, and put them Into a box containing boxwood dust. Move them about in this for some time until they seem perfectly dry, free them from the powder and polish with tissue paper. flow to Get Through the Winter Without a Cold. "This idea that many people have, tliat winter is an unhealthful season, is all wrong. Winter is just as health ful as summer, if people will take care of themselves. If you want to go through the winter without u cold, observe these few simple rules: "Don't overheat your house, and don't stop all ventilation. Sleep in a cool room, but keep warmly covered. Always lake off your outdoor wraps when you come iu the house, and al ways put them on when you go out. And, lastly, just as long as there is snow on the ground, don't go without your rubber®. This last rulo is the most important of all, for two colds out of tnree come from wet feet."— The Independent. I'UCgaije Arrived Flrnt.

An excellent cleaner and polisher for furniture with a very high finish is recommended by an experienced dealer in rare woods. To one tablespoonful of linseed oil add an equal portion ol turpentine, together with a piece of any pure soap the size of a walnut. Pour this into a vessel containing one quart of boiling water, and let the whole boil for about 10 minutes, stir ring it occasionally, so that it may be well mixed. This liquid can be used either warm or cold, but experience teaches that it is more effective when warm; It can be heated several times before it will need renewing. Apply with a soft flannel cloth, well wrung out, to a small portion of the surface to be cleaned. After the dirt has been well wiped off, take a fresh fiannel to polish with, and a few minutes' vigorous rubbipg will soon restore the wood to its original brilliancy. Crude oil is the polisher used in most of the furniture shops. But it is well to re member that in the stores there Is scarcely a day when each piece of fur niture 1b not carefully wiped off with a soft cloth, keeping the surfaces per fectly clean, so that the aid of the oil is only called in to take off the cloudy appearance which will at times dis figure the most carefully tended furni ture.—New York Evening Post.

PLAN OF REPUBLICANS TO BURY ADMIRAL. £t Is Voiced by Mark llauna In a **la!nt in the Gold Standard Presn— Says the Proposition to Nominate llero of Maullu Is Indecent. The new metaphysical apostle of th 3 gold standard is uneasy in his mind tind out of the wreck of indigestible pate de foie gras and advanced prices in coal is emitting sententious opin ions to the bewilderment of the staid old scientists who are feeding upon the office of such dead issues as the dec laration of independence, etc. Mark A. has an object close to his heart, a 6cheme so close to his pocketbook, that the slightest opposition or objection raises bunions on his conscience and makes him open his mouth wide enough to put his foot in it. Among many eccentricities growing out of his McKinley or death monomania, Mr. H. declares that Bryan is not cut out for a president. Nobody expected him to lay or think otherwise. As Mr. Bryan's debts were not paid by Mr. Hanna. it is not surmisable that he has Mr. Bryan under his thumb, hence Mr. Bryan's unavailability as presidential timber. The apothoslzingly Admiral Dewey has again disordered the finan cial statesman's philosophy and he rattles through his teeth the follow ing sorrowful plaint: "The practice of continually plac ing the name of Admiral Dewey on the list of prospective presidential candidates is indecent. It is an insult and a great injustice to the hero of Manila bay himself, as he has fre quently said that nothing In the world would induce him to run for president or any other political office. To force upon this brave and gallant sailor the need of again and again declaring he will not accept any political office is in my opinion contemptible, and places this man of integrity, stern purpose and determination on the ranks of those shifting aspirants for political honors who have not the stamina to resist the flattery or blandishments of political schemers." Upon the truth of this hypothesis, Wm, C. Whitney, Seth Low, the New York World and some other of Hanna's former apostles should be asserted for indecent exposure. A little more of Mark Hanna in the management of the offices of this nation will impel the people to make him president in order to enable him to keep liis mouth shut. Ho already seems to have a monopoly of the office. C. H. ROBINSON. EFFECT ON WAGE-EARNERS. They 6ay wage-earners can buy more with their wages now than they can under free coinage of both metals; that what they would then buy would cost them twice as much as it does now. The answer is this: With the mountains of the west full of miners, with forty Klondykes coming suddenly into existence in the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains, with farming again profitable, there would be independent employment for so many of our wage earners that those remaining in the cities and towns would be less than the demand for such labor, and they would command a higher price for their serv ices, but above and over all would be the advantage that they were no long er hopelessly doomed to a life of slav ery as wage-earners for the remainder of their lives. With farming profit able, business multiplying, and oppor tunities on every hand, they could look forward to the day when they could own a home in the country, or be en gaged in some oue cf the many occu pations or opportunities opening up. A nation of wage-earners is not the true condition of a republic. A nation of independent people, in the main working for themselves and selling their handiwc;*k is the ideal condition of a republic One of the most un fortunate things we now see is a trust factory making a selfish appeal to a labor union. What in substance the trust says to a labor union is this: "We will pay you an increase in wages." And a little later when an election is approaching the trust says to the same union men: "Our interest is your interest, and our business is best served by electing a particular congressman or president." And often this appeal has its desired effect. Too many of our labor people, thus situ ated, are yielding to such blandish ments. and are losing sight of the fact that they are joining selfish classes in a raid on the people, and that in the end it must result in breaking down ; and destroying the common good, and that it will then react on those who thus destroy the people. What it means, ultimately, is an awful catas trophe, and slavery for those and their children who undertook to enslave others.—W. H. Harvey. It Favors Imperialism. Farm, Field and Fireside, of Chicago, for a long time and even now an able and earnest advocate of bimetallism, has climbed into the imperialist band wagon. In a recent issue it quotes ap provingly an article from the Chicago Times-Herald, entitled. "Illinois and Luzon,' 1 in which the writer attempts to defend imperialism by drawing a parallel between Illinois and Luzon. The Times-Herald writer says: "Some people cannot and others will not un derstand how the people of Luzon can be free and independent, and yet be subject to United States authority," and cites the inability of Illinois to coin money, charge duties on imports, carry the malls, dam the Illinois river, or establish a state church, as illustra tions of how the free people of Illinois are hedged in by "imperialism." The premises are wrong; the cases are not parallel. Illinois is an integral part of the United States and her citizens are citizens of the United States. Illinois citizens, as citizens of the United States, help enforce the restrictions, as to certain matters, such as coining money, etc., upon their own state gov ernment; and all other of her sister states have the same restrictions placed upon them —no more and no less. Citi zens of Luzon would have no voice in such matters, and no hope of ever hav ing the privilege. One paragraph es pecially must have been written before the Sulu treaty was announced: "Sup pose some set or organization or com munity wanted to set up polygamy or slavery in the state of Illinois. How long would the advocates of the meas ure be in learning that the United States has passed its big blue pencil over both of those words?" If there Is any parallel between the Sulu is lands and Illinois, why was not the big blue pencil passed over polygamy and 6lavery, both of which are recognized in the treaty? CREDITED ON INTEREST AC COUNT. Our interest account with England Is so great that it has consumed our balance of trade and much of our pre cious metals. And the effect is even worse than that. The amount we have been paying them—these usurers of the world—for the past twenty-six years is in excess of our balance of trade; and they are Investing the remainder in this country in the purchase of our cheap-price property. In the state of Illinois, in Logan and Sangamon coun ties, Lord Scully, of England, owns 80,- 000 acres of land, on which once lived American home-owners, surrounded by their wives and children—now gone— employes or tenants somewhere. It is inhabited mainly by Russian tenants newly imported to this country, and with whom he has introduced the Irish rackrent landlord system. He owns 150,000 acres of land In your state and in the state of Kansas. English money lenders' property money has been appreciating in value, each dollar of it buying more and more of our Ameri can property. English money-lenders now own 50,000,000 acres of land along the Northern Pacific railroad, taken in under foreclosure of the bonds. I have stood on 80,000 acres of land in Michi gan belonging to an English syndicate, and I asked the only man living upon it, an Englishman, what they were go ing to do with it, and he said they were going to stock it with English pheas ants. Englishmen own a majority of the stock in two-thirds of the railroads in fhe United States, coming into pos session of most it through foreclosure of bonds by reason of the depreciation of the value of the property and the ability of our people to spend money. This condition has been coming upon us unconsciously, while American al lies of the English money-lenders have been placating the American people. The American money-lender has been caught by the selfish proposition that his money, under the gold standard, was increasing in value. England seeks our subjugation! —W. H. Harvey. Equality In 1000. Another bad report from the associ ated banks of New York last week. An other big falling off in the surplus, not withstanding the frantic efforts of the bankers to make a better showing. They jointly hold only $1,724,000 above the legal reserve. Many of the banks have less money than the law requires, but they make a joint report of their reserves and thus hide the true situa tion of the individual banks. They vi olate the law in covent and are too powerful to be attacked by the public authorities. Three-fourths of the New York national banks have less than 26 per cent reserve and have no right in law to do business, but they do busi ness just the same and there is none to molest or make them afraid. If a Nebraska national bank allows its re serve to run below the 25 per cent limit a receiver takes possession and the in stitution goes Into liquidation. But It is not so in New York. There they set the law at defiance and run their business at their own sweet will. Well, never mind, this administration won't last forever—there is a good time com ing, boys—lt is almost here—in 1901 we will have a president that will treat the bankers of New York just as he treats the bankers of Nebraska—there will be no favorites then —no man will be above the law and no man will be too insignificant for its protection— the millionaire will have to obey the law as well as the mendicant, and the penitentiary doors will stand open for the plutocrat just as it docs for the pauper.—Nonconformist. McKlnley's Policy. "What is your policy?" inquired the trance medium. And the shades of Nero, player of dead marches; Charles, of St. Barthol omew fame, and Herod, slayer of In fants, answered as by rote: "Peace first; then " But here their voices were drowned by loud and enthusiastic clapping of hands.—Public. It is neither graceful nor consistent to denounce Mr. Bryan for traveling about the country talking to the people on the living issues of the day, when Mr. McKinley, the president, is ap plauded for doing the samo thing. Offensive partisanship in a man out of office is not a worse virtue than offen sive partisanship in a man under pay from the government for another pur pose. One prominent excuse for a rich man avoiding the payment of taxes is, it capitalists are compelled to pay their full share of the taxes they will not have as much money to pay to labor. This Is on all-fours with the proposi tion that the less work a man does the better off he Is. Economy in labor ought to be the equivalent of economy la wealth CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BY MAIL.

THE PERFUMED WOMAN. Goes Into Esctacltts Over Genuine Femininity. "I observe," said a coarse, brutal man who doesn't know the difference between 'the higher and nobler' and a load of ash coal, according to the Washington Post, "that the advertising ends of this month's magazines are publishing a testimonial as to the mer its of a certain brand of toilet soap, written by one of the ladies who has been doing her little bit during the last half century toward securing the franchise for woman. Her picture is run in with the ad and her testimonial Is surely a heap fulsome for a volun tary contribution. In the course of her remarks she says, 'I abhor a per fumed woman.' It is to take a short, jerky biff at this remark that I emerge from my cave and leap into the fracas. I love a perfumed woman. I think a perfumed woman Is the real thing in femininity—the daintily perfumed woman, who, when she swishes by you, has something about her that makes you vaguely remember the old honeysuckle covered porch that you knew a quarter of a century ago; who carries with her the suggestion ot asphodelian dales and starlit meadows. It Isn't particularly because of the elusive, hop-smoky, gurden-of-Daphne fragrance that the perfumed woman daintily emits that 1 think she's the one and only real thing in long drap eries. It's because she typifies the fem inine woman. Gimme a lyre, or a harp, or a fuglehorn, or a kazoo—any old thing - that I may sing the praises and the glories of the feminine wom an! She was here in the world's early dawn, and she's going to be right here alongside of us when we're having $2.48 round trip excursions to Mars! It's because she's feminine that she's adorable! It's because every once in awhile she gets her work clone early so she can 'go upstairs and have a good cry;' it's because she crushes us into pulp with her 'because'; It's be cause she admits our premises and de nies our conclusions; it's because she'll begin to purse her lips for baby talk when she sees an infant a block away; It's because she loves roses and lacey things and only $2 per pound candy; It's because she gives us the reproachful eye when we ought to be sewed up In a blanket and clubbed; it's because she'll dig and delve and scrape and scrap for her husband and her little ones until Icy stalactites hang from the roof of Gehenna; It's because she dabs her eyes with a little wad of mouchoir until her nose is red when she sees real human suffering; it's Just because she's feminine, Bill, and therefore such a derned big sight b€%er than we are, that she had us on the lope and plum loco over her ever since the days of the Hyksos kings of Egypt! Gimme a lute that I may chant of the physical, mental, moral and spiritual loveliness of the perfumed, who is also the feminine woman! May she he with us until the grand bust up of all things!" ,piui Is your breath bad? Then your best friends turn their heads aside. A bad breath means a bad liver. Ayer'S Pills are liver pills.

Tho rifles used by the Boers in the ! war of 1881 were mostly Westley- | Richards. It was the sporting rifle most in favor in the country at the time, aud every store kept a supply of the paper-covered cartridges that were used for it. Each man \ made small alterations to his \ rifle to indttco it to come into the shooting position with the balance that he preferred, and there was scarcely a rifle in the Transvaal that had not a bit of lead let ill some- I where in its woodwork. It was necessary to shoot quickly to kill the springbok and other high" veldt buck, and the Boers' arm and cartridge belt were especially adapted to rapid load ing and firing. In the old days a Boer was as fond and us proud of his rifle as he was of his "tripling" riding horse, and knew exactly its shooting powers under all conditions. He has jnst had j the best military rifle of the day put | into his hands, but he will not know j it as he knew his old rifle, and will 1 not have quite the same confidence in , its shooting.

Aflmitted It Hiimeir. A story is told of two prominent Chicago lawyers who several years ago were regarded as being among the brightest lawyers the State bad pro duced for a long time. There was great rivalry between these men, and one day they were having a heated argument on the steps of the State House at Springfield. "I'll agree to leave it to the first mail we meet," said oue of the wran gling lawyers, fiercely. "All right, and that will settle it once for all—-ah, here is Charlie . We'll leave it to him." "Charlie," as the man spoken of approached within hearing distance, "wo want you to deoide who is the best lawyer in Illinois. We agree to abide by your decision." "Well," replied Charlie, himself au eld practitioner, aud well known in the capital city, "I plead guilty to being the best lawyer in the State my self." "Why, Charlie, how can it be proved ?" inquired the first of the two Chicagoans. "You don't have to prove it," re plied the Springfield man; "I admit it, don't I?" No Fear For (jporse. "I suppose you worry a good deal about your sou, don't you, Mrs. Magnus?" "Yes," I just tremble every time I see a messenger boy coming down the street, and until he gets past our house I am always sure that he must have a telegram telling me that some thing terrible has happened to my boy."
