HOW TO WASH DISHES.
One Porm of Domestio Work That is
Always Wearisome.
A writer in a domestic journal
says: Une ot the most wean
some domestic tasks which falls to
the housewife doing her own
work is the "never-ending, still
beginning" washing of dishes. It
is often a real pleasure to prepare
a dainty, palatable meal; a well
earned satisfaction in viewing the
work of one's hands in the light,
sweet loaves of white or brown
bread, the roast of flesh or fowl,
done to a turn, the perfect cake,
quivering custards, etc. But no
one of tnese toothsome viands can
be brought to pass without the
aid of various pans, spoons, cups,
etc., all to be cleaned or,
perhaps, immediate use again.
They must be washed by hands
already weary, for modem inven
tion, fertile as it is, has not yet, to
my knowledge, produced an auto
matic dishwasher and drier. It is
discouraging, and few things soon
er bring the tired housekeeper's
spirit down to zero (especially if
the mercury has already gone
down to that point) than a kitchen
table full of sticky, greasy, un
washed dishes greeting her as she
rises from breakfast or dinner, and
in addition to the dishes used upon
the family table. A verv great
helo is to wash as vou eo, have
your pan, with hot water and
cloth handy, on the table, and as
fast as you dish articles from the
stove or range wash tho cooking
vessel. Rinse out frying-pans,
kettles, etc., with very hot water
to take off the grease. Chain
dish-cloths readily take off what
ever sticks to the side of the
stew-pans or pots, or a common
clam shell may answer the same
purpose.
As nearly all cooking utensils
are more easily washed when warm,
washing as jtou go saves time for
the dining room work after the
meal, besides setting tho kitchen
sooner itf order. Keep several
thick holders near the stove, to
save your hands (and towels) in
lifting hot kettles and pans. Nev
er take hold of these with the dish
cloth, as you wish to tkeep that
important kitchen appliance en
tirely free from pot black and
grease. By taking some simple
precautions the cooking vessels
can be washed with almost as
much ease as your china service.
By having your pan and hot water
ready you may sit down to break
fast or dinner with the sense of re
lief that the kitchen things arc out
of the way until next time. Itc
Itohoth Sunday Herald.
A Philadelphia newspaper says
that tho prevailing impression that
"the old time, broad-brimmed
sugar-scoop Quakers" are dying
out is erroneous, at least as far as
Philadelphia is concerned.- Twen
ty-live years ago the same impres
sion prevailed, but to-day the
benches in the meeting houses arc
as full as then.
Van Buren and Cleveland are
the only two Democratic presi
dents who were candidates for re
election and were defeated. It
was a Harrison that did tho busi
ness for them in both cases.
l'AREYTS CRIMINALLY L1A11LI'..
More than half, of all deaths occur
before six years of ace. An army of in-
knocent, lovely children are swept need
lessly away eacn year, i-arents are
criminally responsible for this. The
death rate of children in England is less
than half this. Acker's English Baby
Soother has done more -to brine this
about than all other causes combined.
You cannot afford to bo without it.

Some notorious Prisoners.
"How some of the most noto
rious characters at the 'pen' are
employed would make a good
item, wouldn't it?" said an officer
of that institution to a Statesman
reporter yesterday. "I will tell
you about a few, continued he,
"and you can print it if 'ou wish.
William Dillion, a life-time man,
who killed Manciet in the Argo
naut saloon, Portland, is in the
foundry, and is considered a model
prisoner. He is smart enough to
know that it will pay him to look
well to his p's and q's, and he acts
accordingly. Capt. W. "W. Saun
ders, also a 'lifer.' for killing Char
ley Campbell, at Albany, is the
hospital steward, and is as popular
as any man about the prison, both
with the convicts and the officers.
He is a finished, gentlemanly fel
low, with scholarly attainments,
and he is so efficient that his serv
ices are indispensable. You know
ho comes ot a family of fine physi
cians, and had some education in
that line himself, so he makes a
splendid steward for the hospital.
Dan Moran, of rortland, is look
ing out for his personal interests
by conducting himself properly
and earninc the fuli number of
credits. Bill Daty, another no
torious man from Portland, is now
a trusty, and has but a few more
days to serve. Cecil Beebe, who
defaulted with funds belonging to
Schindler, of Portland, is a book
keeper in the foundry, as is also
C. P. Dixon, tho defaulting agent
of the Canadian Pacific railroad.
The latter is a very bright fel
low, and is a good prisoner. Char
ley Harding, Jvho was tne accom
plice of "Pearl Page," in the rob
bing of an Alaskan, is now quite
an expert moulder in the foundry,
and is assisted by Poindextcr, the
famous crasksman who. committed
a large number of burglaries in
Portland for the purpose, as he
stated, of gratifying his wife's ex
travagant tastes. W. S. Johns,
otherwise known as Warm Springs
Johnnie, who was pardoned re
cently by Gov. Pennoycr, appears
to have become attached to the
prison, for he still hangs around,
doing odd lobs, such as sawing
wood, etc. J. J. P. McAllister,
the 13-year-old parricide, is in the
shoe shop, trvinr to learn the
trade. He is very quiet and do
cile, and is very kindly treated by
the officers, who pity his unfor
tunate condition. Salem States

Germans outnumbered the Irish,

W. O. Tuggle, LaGrangc, Ga., wi itiug
about Darbys Prophylactic Fluid, says:
"It is a priceless jewel as a disinfectant
and deodorizer. My wife states for the
benefit of vounc mothers that it is a
valuable adjunct to the nursery." It is
cnuallv so to narents travcllinc with
children. ot only is the .Fluid invalu-

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in

A Secret Marriage Sustained.
A case involving the validity of
a secret marriage has just been de
cided by the Nebraska supreme
court.
The suit was brought by the
wife. She alleged that she and
her husband had been secretly
married in Chicago. The cere
mony was performed by a man
who, as she supposed, was a minis
ter, but she had never seen him
before and did not know his name.
There were no witnesses present.
Tho marriago was kept a secret
for more than two years.
The husband denied that there
ever had been a marriage, or that
any ceremony had been performed,
He admitted that he had on more
than onejoccasion acknowledged the
plaintiff as his wife, and had known
of her telling her family that they
had been married, but he explained
that this was done as a mere cloak
to avoid scandal.
The court decides the case,
which was a suit to have the wife's
marital status and rights estab
lished, in favor of the complainant.
It accepts her storj', which was
corroborated by other direct and
circumstantial evidence, and holds
that the marriage, though con
tracted in secret, and long kept a
secret, was valid in law.

tric leader of Austrian society, has
