Tiik death of ex-Governor Albert G. Porter, who
WHS
elected in the memorable
campaign of lKHU, and who was also minister to Italy under the administration of President Harrison, calls attention to the fact that of the leading men who have been prominent in Indiana politics siuce the close of the war Benjamin Harrison is the only survivor. Oliver P. Morton was the first to go. The burdens which he carried during the war and through the days of reconstruction wrecked him physically, anil he laid down his cares when he was almost in sight of the presidency. Thomas A. Hendricks lived to be a candidate tor president and to bo elected vice-president. Joseph K. McDonald, said to be the greatest lawyer of them all, looked longingly toward the presidential chair, but be never got nearer than the United States senate. Walter Greslunan might have been president but for political environments. Daniel W. Voorhees was content to spend his life in congress and in the senate. Albert G. Porter was presidential timber, but, like (iresliam, he was overshadowed by Harrison. Isaac I'. Gray twice aspired to the presidency and both times fell short. The men who made up this double quartet entered upon active life about the same time. Of the four Hepublicans in the list, Harrison and Grcsluim went to war Morton was coventor Porter stayed at home lint did good service for his country. The four democrat* refrained from joining the army I Iriid ricks and Voorhees were charged with secretly sympathizing with the south McDonald and (Jray gave evidence i.l" loyalty by their works/ Of all hee eiuht men from Indiana who hclpel to make history for this state and nation there is but one survivor Benjamin Harrison, ho lias been honored by his countryinenn with the highest ollice ill their power.
Till two bankrupt nations. Turkey and (irecce, have reached such a stage in their conflicts that the so called "powers" of Kurope have been compelled to intervene, for the sake of the peace of that continent. The war ha- made both nations call out their reserve-., and the demand upon the light inm populat ion oft he two countries is greater than that made by any government during the last half a century. Both nations seem to have assumed that the war is certain to reach the most gigantic scale, and they summoned men tothe Held by the scores of tlions? Is without apparcntly taking a thought as to how they are to be paid or provided Both Turkey and Greece are absolutely bankrupt. The nai .nal debt of Greece amounts to $Mper capita, as against l\! per capita in the I'nitcd Mates, and her securities are quoted in l.ondonat from 1S» to'JO cents on the doi!,ir The revenues of the kingdom do not exceed ._•».oiio.oou annually, and the expenditures are always equal, and usualIvextvel tiiat sum in tint-of peace. The financial condition of Turkey is quite as bail as that of Greece. Between l*T»l and ls ,i Turkey contracted debt to ilieamount of .*!.!0«i0.1*10,0.10. and the holders of the bonds have leen scaled down until finally the debt has leen scaled to The
last
loan
was
made by Turkey last
year for C.oiVt.tVM, and special security of of custom duties
was
given for it or it could
not have been HtwiWd at all. In INU0 the expenditures of Turkey were about jqs.ooo.uio hi
excess
of the revenues,
ami smce Is'*' 'here has been a yearly deficit of some One of the reasons why the great powers of Kurope arc likely to terminate the war U'tween Greece and Turkey is in the fact that Kurope holds the major part of the fL'-MM**1.***' of national indebtedness of thoM nations. When neither tinpece nor. Turkey can maintain their credit in time of peace, i' cannot be exported to improve in time of war. when the expenditures are doubled or quadrupled. There is, therefore, the money interest in peace to shape the policy of the Kuropean powers, and therein is to hope of an early conclusion of the war by the interposition of the Kuropean governments which are the creditor* of the belligerent*. The plain truth is that neither Turkey nor Greece could maintain a war I for any considerable time. Their credit is entirely exhausted, and the chances are that peace will be coerced in the iatenst of I
-y,'*
European creditors, so that they may save something out of the general, wreck of Turkish and Grecian securities. It is a strange spectacle of two utterly and hopelessly bankrupt nations attempting to maintain a war that now has assumed a most gigantic scale, considering the population of the countries. -:~'J-v
No WONDER the civilized world sympathizes with the Greeks in their conflict with the Turks. A Turk, writing for the New York Independent, tells of some of the red tape and restrictions that hedge about life in the domains of the sultan. They are enough in themselves to lead progressive, civilized nations to wish that the sultan as a power in Europe might be wiped out of existence. For instance, he says: "Every newspaper in the domain of the Turk must begin and end with the following words: "May God keep (forever) his Majesty, the Sultan, the Son of the Sultan, the Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid, the Sultan of the Two Lands, and the Khakan of the Two Seas! May he always be victorious!" Every book must bear on its first page the following inscription: "Printed by the permission of the Censor." This is inscribed even on the first page of the Holy Bible. The absolute ignorance of the censors is easily illustrated. The editor of a certain newspaper in Beirut, Syria, not long ago, wished to publish an artitle on "The Telephone," and sent it to the censors. The manuscript was returned with the word "telephone" scratched out wherever it appeared. Thereupon the editor went to the censors and asked for an explanation. The answer was of a kind to convince: "No words such as 'dynamite' or 'telephone' can be used in Turkey." Probably the censors thought the "telephone" some "devilish instrument." lectures of all kinds, whether political, religious or literary, even in private and "college" entertainments, must, if written, go to the censors before delivery. Three years ago, in an entertainment lecture, the worc£"murad" (signifying, in Arabic, a "wish") was cancelled for the reason that Murad is also the name of the ex-sultan, who is now kept in a lunatic asylum in Constantinople. The government forbids the public use of his name from the fear that it may excite the minds of the people. Words such as "equality," "revolution" and "liberty" are not allowed in speech or print, they are even cut out of the dictionaries The sultan of Turkey knows practically nothing of the real state of affairs in his kingdom. The whole press cries out with one accord in the most glowing terms that the country is ever prosperous under tLe protection of "the shadow of God on earth," and that peace reigns through the whole country under the care of 'the Angel of Peace.'"
Kissing on the Mouth.
In high life nobody is kissed on the mouth. It is bad form and bad hygiene. And in these days when it is a crime to be old and every woman over 18 makes up with glycerine and rice powder, a kiss anywhere on the face is a positive annoyance. Every man of the world knows this. That's why he kisses his wife's back hair and his daughter back of the ear. And that's why the women scent their scalps and brush the essence through and through the hair uut-il it is fluffy and fragrant.
The Latest Fail.
Any number of girls under 17 years of age have taken up with the fad for gray hair, the idea being to appear very intellectual and thoughtful. It is managed by leaving a lock of one's natural hair at a wig maker's with instructions to somewhat match it by shades of gray, not at first too far removed from the original color. A toupee affair is purchased to be worn a la false bangs. The gray hairs are carefully intertwined with the dark locks, and one is perfectly up to date.
Schools ol' Cookery.
There are flourishing schools of cookery in Boston. Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco and ninny other cities.
The teachers art? women of reputation, whose words carry weight wherever spoken, and who could not afford to have anything to do with an inferior food preparation of any sort. Therefore the fact that all leading teachers use and recommend Cleveland's baking powder is about the best endorsement that the powder could have, the best being the housewife's own experience, which confirms tlie endorsement by the teachers, that for actual work in the kitchen no leavening agent equals Cleveland's baking powder.

In the British museum is the finest specimen of these. It is less than half an inch square ami represents the sacred hawk of the Egyptians, every feather of the birdV wiiif: being produced with a great number of colors and tints, each quite distinct and so minute that a strong magnifying glass is require to distinguish details.
How to l"mem Kcs*»
Take a pound of fresh, unslaked lime, a pound of coarse rock salt and 3 gallons of hot water. Fill the vessels in which the eggs are to be stored and stir the liquid daily for a fortnight. If this is not done, the heat caused by the slaking of the lime will harden the yolks of the eggs. When properly prepared, there should be thin crust on the top of the lime. Put the eggs into the jars as nearly new laid as possible. When fall, tie the jars over with bladder and the eggs will keep perfectly.
Over the great silver heaters, with their double power alcohol lamps, in the very smart houses the family chef or a caterer's man brought in for the occasion presides. From top to toe he is arrayed like a lily, and he probably speaks very broken English.
If a couple of double chafing dishes, which supply in all four cooking basins, are used, two men can rapidly feed almost any number of persons, and a delightful informality reigns. All about the cocks are bowls heaped with raw materials for conversion into dainty messes. Every utensil used in preparing the supper is silver, and every guest, selecting what plates, knives, spoons, etc., he or she desires from piles on a side table, goes personally for helpings from the chafing dishes.
On the brown or white wicker plates the bread is piied and topped by a silver wire fork, which holds a card. On the card, in legible gilt letters, is writter "ham, chicken, salad or jelly sandwiches, as the case may be, and as the maid passes by those who are hungry may renrl and make their selections. As long as supper is in progress these baskets of bread are kept circulating through the rooms, and the ices are dished up in the prettiest little pasteboard boxes. Inside the boxes are lined with waxed paper, and it is a fact to be remembered that napkins seem rarely or never used now at such suppers.
How to Keep Your Groceries. Instead of keeping sugar, tea, oatmeal and other groceries in the paper bags in which they are sent from the store put them at once in small wooden boxes or large jars with tight fitting covers. A great deal of strength will be lost if the groceries are kept carelessly in the paper bags, besides the untidy appearance of the paxitry .-helves»
