TERKE HA DTE APRIL 29, 1893.

THE present administration seems to consist principally of the personal pro noun "I."

THE manner in which the administration has treated the Indiana "ten per cents" who went to work in the Cleveland vineyard at the eleventh hour, is an object Jieseon which should not be lost upon Tammany.

THERE is danger that Dwight, III., the home of the Keeley cure, is about to become a "wet" town. Since Dr. Keeley established hia sanitarium there no liquor has been sold, and the threatened change is causing considerable excitement among the bichloride advocates.

A YOUNG man of Dublin, Ireland, has it appears, made application for a position in the postal service, and has good recommendations from Enghish government officials au to his efficiency. Evidently the young man haw make a mistake. He should have tried Tammany for a position on the New York police force.

THJK National Civil Service Reform League, of which that eminent fossil, Carl Schurz, is president, is finding fault with the mannet in which Mr. Maxwell swings his axe, but tho axe continues with its accustomed regularity and deadly effect. That's what Maxwell is there for that's what Republicans are in office for, and the mission must be fulfilled.

PoHsim.Y through jealousy many of our Hoosior statesmen oppose Benjamin F. Havens for a federal appointment because ho is an ox-offloe holdor. This is not right. Ben is not an

uex,"

nor will

ho be until his official existence comes to a period. With the execption of a few short terms, when the people or appointing power suflored from temporary aberration, Bon never has boen an "ex,'' nor does he ever want to be one.

THE blue laws have been invoked against the Sunday paper in Pennsyl vania, and in Pittsburg a number of fines have been inflicted under the pros editions. Wherever tho cranks have been found to put the machinery of thp law in motion enterprise and progress have boen stopped and tho blue laws do the rest. It is to be rogrettod that the men of tho middle ages are still alive on tho four hundredth snniversary of the discovery of Atnerioa.

A KKW weeks ago it was announced that the Brooklyn tabernacle congregation was inn bad way, and that unless financial assistance was forthcoming dire things would happen. A week or two later tho pressuro had been lifted and that everything was serene. Last Sunday, howover, the Rev. Talmage announced that the relief had only been temporary and asked for more. In this respect tho Brooklyn roligion seems to be the genuine or orthodox kind.

THK Evangelical ministers of Kansas City, Mo., have agreed among them' selves to take a day off In the near future and play base ball. Of course the game won't be played on Sunday and betting will be barred, but tho umpire will bo tho recipient of more left hand compliments and Inverted blessings than If he had been at work for regularly organised league teams. Kicking is about theonly recreation in which the geutlemen of the cloth turn themselves loose with perfect abaudon.

THIS country has received notice that Austria will not receive Max Judd »s consul general to Vienna. Mr. Judd is a Hebrew and on© of Mr. Cleveland's recent appointments, but neither of these is assigned sis the reason for the refusil of the Austrian government to recognise him. He Is charged with having been at one tlm«aelttg«n of Austria, ftud of being engaged in the immigration buftinoss. It is rather unfortunate that he should ever have been a subject of the Austrian emperor, but his imperial highness should have learned by this time that it Is no bar to political perferment In this country.

TMK fin»t building and loan association over organised in the United States was the "Oxford Provident Building Association," of Philadelphia, which vrm started in June, 1831, and closed its RrtWrs in June, 1841. The Quaker City now half over 400 of these organ tortious, and it I* estimated that there are up-1 wards of 0,000 of them in the country! with an undisturbed wealth aggregating perhaps

Richmond, read a paper on "The Necessity for Prevention Against Cholera." He said that the life tenure of the cholera spirillum (or cholera microbe) is not known. Probably whenever one of them of whatever age divides there are two young ones, and this division and regeneration continues as long as pabulum is abundant and environment satisfactory. If a garment in Russia were soiled with cholera discharge, wrapt up moist, packed in a trunk and transported to Indiana it would reach its destination charged with living, active germs of cholera. This microbe is, however, a delicate plant, and can propagate only within relatively narrow limits. It can not survive in a temperature above 126° Fahr., nor below 67° Fahr., and its active life is confined to a temperature between 70° and 108" Fahr. It can not mulitply, though it can live in pure water, but in water containing organic matter in solution, as also in damp soil, it flourishes in a high degree. Drying kills it nor can it survive in acids or strong alkalies.

Prevention of cholera demands consideration of four distinct problems: (1) To keep the spirillum from entering the country (2) to prevent its transportation from any focus it may establish in the interior of the country (3) to protect the individual from receiving the spiriium into his intestinal canal (4) to create and maintain in each individual such condition that though he be invaded by the spirilum he will successfully resist it.

Meeting the first prevention problem it may be positively asserted," the doctor said, that if it can be successfully accomplished there will be no ground for further anxiety. The authorities of the Nation are vigilant, but their utmost vigilance may fail and it is obviously the duty of the States and communities to take such precautions in advance as would be demanded if it were certain the scourge would visit every locality. This first duty exacted is to clean up all foul places. Should a case of cholera appear in any community, the patient should be isolated at once. If proper care be taken in the case of the first cholera patient, there will not be a liv lug spirilum from him to generate a second case.

Cholera is not contagious that is, it doea not pass directly from the ailing to the well, like small-pox or scarlet fever. The serins of some diseases may float in the air and infect those to whom they are borne, but not so with the cholera spirilum. When it becomes dry eneugh to be volatile its vitality Is gone. Accordingly the agent which carries the cholera genn must be a fluid, and in fact drinking water is the most general means. Danger tn^y be avoided by drinking only water which has been boiled and afterward protected from contamination. iA thoughtful superintendent of a hospital for insane women in Philadelphia arrested an outbreak of cholera in the institution by having all the inmates drink systematically of a so-called lemonade, made of sulphuric acid. Vinegar is a good disinfeoting lotion.

However important It may be that improper food should be discarded, the general rule should be that whatever was found safe, sound and sustaining when oholera was afar off", it is good food when oholera is at our doors or In our dwellings. The same rational/rules should apply to beverages.

Iloir to Lace a Corset.

Those clever Frenchwomen have discovered a new way of lacing their corsets, or rather they have adopted it from the Russians. Of course it is horrid to lace tight, but if you will do it this new way is the only way that won't hurt, because it calls for three pieces of lacings, and there isu't t.he old torturing uniform pressure above and below tho waist. You put tho first lacing at the top down in tlib usual way on each side until you reach two eyelet holes above tho waist. Do the same thing with the second, lacing from the bottom, leaving two eyelet holes free below the waist. In these four eyelets—four on each side—you now put the third lace, that which is Jo bo drawn. Don't you see you can leave the upper and lower parts as loose as you choose, tying each to your comfort? After that you can draw in your waist with the middle lacing quite independently. A woman lacing her corset this way once will never Inco it differently. No matter how loose she wears it, this is the only proper method,—Anna Vernon Dorsey in New York Press.

The Dressing of Children.

There is a constant temptation to dress children in the fantastic garb which suits their.style and adds piquancy to their be.-n-ty. Mothers should pause to reflect, however, that one of two things must happeneither the little one is morbidly sensitive and resents the conspicuous attire or it is inordinately vain and enjoys it. Either is unwholesome and dangerous. Probably these reflections account for the extreme to which many parents havegone in a reaction from the Fauntleroy and Christmas card styles. A private park in a fashionable quarter will show nowadays amid the many groups of children that the majority are simply and sensibly dressed, and only a very small minority attract attention by any eccentricity of garb. Indeed when it comes, as it lias, to dropping a Dutch cap with flaring wings upon a little girl's head and an Oxford cap upon ha-brother's, common sense suggests that it is time to halt —Philadelphia Press.

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Wonderful Necklace. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt's jewels are almost too magnificent even to be mentioned by common mortals. The wonderful diamond necklace consists of two rows of pierced diamonds strung on silken threads. The chain of diamonds, for such it is, is usually worn arranged to fall to the waist in two points. They are then looped in tlfc center to the bodice, glorious rubies forming the center, and on either side, where the diamonds are again fastened, other stars of rubies shine. The effect of these gems of "purest ray serene" is simply dazzling.— New York Beoarder.

Walking Is an Inexpensive Panacea. Walking, the best of all exercises for the well, becauso the most natural, should bo a duty, just as are eating, drinking or sleeping, and the cares and supposed duties of the home should be laid aside until it has been enjoyed. Within a prescribed circle, dwelling upon unworthy cares oftentimes, allowing duties to magnify until they become curses, dwarfing the soul to gain a passing show for the body—these are the things that women indulge in too often. Physical exercise, open doors and plenty of air are the panacea for all these ills,—Exchange. __

Making Good Til*cults.

The secret cf biscuit making is precision and dispute a. Laggards and lazy people are not succ&osful biscuit maker.?./ The btst cooks always say they simply throw their .biscuits together, and certainly they are not long about it. The cause of success is that biscuits begin to bake before the effervescent qualities of the powder or soda are exhausted. They are live biscuit and are as light and puffy as beaten eggs. The best biscuits are rather small. The very lar^e ones are not likely to be quite so light. They should be baked in a rather quick oven, and to be perfect area yellowish brown. They must be thoroughly j^one through, or they are the most unpalt^ble and unwholesome articles of the kind.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Ornament For Man's -Boom.' A quaint pipe rack for the den of the man who smokes is a small plaque of oak shaped like a sliield. On the rack are places for from five to seven pipes, and along the lower edge are grotesque heads carved in relief. Unique beer mugs for the same, room are of heavy blue, gray or brown pottery inscribed with queerly lettered rhymes and sayings. On a bountiful brown beaker with a silver lid are the lines, "A little health, a little wealth, a little house and freedom," and at the end, "A little Mend and little cause to need him." On another cup is the hospitable saying: "Good is not good enough. The best is not too good."—New York Post. «*..

Before hanging tho pictures fasten a large clean cloth over the brush end of the broom and wipe the wails all over. If the ^yalis are papered and the paper is torn or defaced, cover such places with scraps of the paper, matching if possible to the fig*-es. If you have no pieces of the paper aaapanese scroll, or a cheap placque, or even a bunch of dry grasses tied with a bciv of ribbon will cover the place and add beauty to the room. One lady covered piec& of pasteboard with colored satin and fast^bed the bunches of grass to them, and th$y were very ornamental.—Philadelphia Press.
