Honey ns a Food.
Many people are aware that honey,
either simple or prepared in combina
tion with other ingredients, is a de
sirable medical agent in certain cases,
as in disease of the throat, especially
those of a mild nature, like hoarseness
and a dry inflamed condition ; but not
60 many are nware that ns a regular ar
ticle of food it has a prophylactic and
even a therapeutic value which can
scarcely be overestimated. Most
6Weets are to be taken with caution, as
they are liable to impair the action of
the stomach, or otherwise injuriously
affect the Bystem ; but honey may at
any time be eaten freely, accordin
to the taste of the recipient, and will
be found corrective and beneficial. In
some cases, especially where the appe
tite has been pampered and demoral
ize by bnrtful in ulgence in unwhole
some sweets or other foods, the taste
for lioney will need to bo cultivated;
but it will nlmost invariably grow with
the restoration of the general physical
tone and become an individual charac
teristic.— Good Housekeeping.

An Economical Wife.
French wives are notoriously parsi
monious, snys the Youth's Companirm,
and also, occasionally, somewhat tyr-
innical with their husbands.
In a case in court, in which a wife
was accused of beating her husband
with a stove-poker, the president of
the court said to the woman :
“I suppose, madame, that it was
from mere brutality that you struck
the poor man with this iron imple
ment?”
“No, sir; it was from motives of
economy.”
“Economy? What do you mean?”
“Why, I couldn’t afford to be break
ing a broomstick over his head every
day!”
Could Conut on tho Choir.
A peppery parson down east, who was
disturbed by his choir during prayer
time, got even with them when he gave
out the closing hymn by adding, “I
hope the congregation will join in
singing this grand old hymn, and I
know the choir will, for I heard them
humming' it during the prayer.”—

“Yes, it was. I upset the boat on

President Cleveland spends a large
share of his time preparing his annual
message to congress. It is said that
Hawaiian matters will be presented in
the regular message and not in a spe
cial message, ns is sometimes the case
with particular subjects. The report
upon Hawaiian correspondence will no
doubt be sent in as a special document
and will be referred to in the regular
message. The probabilities are that
the message will be a long one, owing
to the importance of several subjects
to be discussed, not only on the Ha
waiian subject, but the tariff.
At the state department Tuesday it
was said that newspapers had been
given everything in the Hawaiian mat
ter except instructions to Mr. Willis.
It was stated that there would be no
information on this given out and that
the instructions would be made public
in Honolulu and come to this country
from over the sea. The really import
ant part of the instructions is that re
garding the question of force and
whether or not the minister is author
ized to use the naval forces of the
United States to restore the queen.
The impression is gaining ground
among the members of the foreign
committees of both houses of congress
that the distribution to them of copies
of the Blount report concerning Ha
waii and causing abstracts of the same
to be published in the newspapers, in
dicate that the administration will lay
the whole matter beforo congress for
final action. This would be necessary
only in the event that the provisional
government declines to step down and
out without objection or resistance.
If the queen is restored before con
gress meets, it would not be necessary
to call on congress for any action, but
if the provisional government resists
the restoration of the queen, ns un
doubtedly it will, and makes the use of
force necessary to restore her, it is be
lieved the administration will ask the
authority of congress beforo using
force.
An Important Pension Order.
Commissioner of Pensions Loehren
Thursday issued the first important
order simplifying the practice of the
bureau in the adjudication of claims
under the famous act of June 27, 1890:
“Pension certificates issued under the
act of June 27, 1890, will no longer
specify particularly disabilities. In
such certificates, where the maximum
rating of §12 per month is al
lowed, tho certificate will stato
that it is for ‘inability to earn a sup
port by mauual labor;’ where less
than the medium rating is al
lowed, the certificate will state that it
is for ‘partial inability to earn a sup
port by manual labor.’ Whenever in
case of a pension granted under the
said act at less than the maximum rat
ing a higher re-rating is subsequently
sought for, as the application of such
higher rating, shall be considered and
treated as a claim for an increase, and
not as a claim for a new disability, and
the increase, if allowed, will commence
from the date of the medical examina
tion, showing the increased disability. ”
Iron on llie Free I.i.t.
The iron ore men have been defeat
ed and the men who have combatted
so violently to keep this article off the
free list were, on Wednesday, infor
mally notified by members of the ways
and means committee that it had been
finally decided by the democratic
membersthatiron ore would be placed
on the free list.
This is the most important develop
ment of the day, as it leaves the iron
men of Alabama, Virginia and Michi
gan no alternative but to carry their
fight to the floor of the house. The
committee also concluded the wool
schedule of the new tariff bill. The
measure provides for the admission free
of duty of all wools and hair of the
camel, goat, alpaca and other like ani
mals and of wool and hair on the skin,
top waste and other wastes and rags
composed wholly or in part of wool,
and also repeals what are known as
compensatory duties on woolen goods
and reduces the ad valorem duties on
such goods. It also repeals the com
pensatory duties upon carpets of all
kinds, rugs and mats and reduces the
ad valorem duties thereon from 40 per
cent, ad valorem to 30 per cent, ad
valorem.

TRADE IMPROVES SLOWLY.
Don & Co.’s Report of Bnslness for the
Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly
review of trade, say: Business is
gaining, but it is a constant complaint
that the improvement is 6low. This
is because very few realize how heavy
a load business has to drag after it in
climbing up again. Uncertainties
weigh heavily.
There has been great encouragement
during the pant week in the fact that
November payments are far more sat
isfactory than was expected and yet
the extensions of the month would
have seemed alarming in other years.
Merchants who collect part of the
amount due are rejoiced, but their bny-
ingpower is not as large as usual. The
extraordinary shrinkage in purchase
for consumption, if lessening, has still
made it impossible for many firms to
go on as before, and the largest fail
ure of tbe past week, that of the Thur-
ber-Whyland Company, illustrates em
barrassments which cannot be termina
ted in a week or month.
Monetary difficulties no longer hin
der. It is true the treasury cash has
fallen to §97,388,595, of which only
§85,490,891 was gold, but there is no
such alarm as there was when the gold
reserve alone went below §100,000,000.
Business is not leaning on the treasu
ry and it is well that it is not. Re
ceipts for the month thus far are about
$5,000,000 less than expenses, and the
imports in October decreased about
$20,000, partly because of inflated val
uation of goods imported last year.
The weekly imports at New York de
crease, in part, from the same canse.
The condition of industries im
proves, but they wisely wait the re
vival of purchasers by consumers.
Twenty-four works of all kinds have
wholly or in part resumed, against
fourteen closing. Yet less than half
of the iron works’ power is active, and
out of ninety-nine woolen mills on’y
ten are working full time, while forty-
five were shut up November 1st, the
production for four months in men’s
woolens being 14,343,431 yards,
against 25,554,306 last year. State
factory inspectors report that, out of
90,000 persons employed in textile
mills in Philadelphia only 17,500 are
at work.
In boots and shoes there is also
decided improvement in spite of the
fact that orders are lighter than Usual.
Shijmients from Boston for the
week were only 5 per cent, less than
the year before. The volume of busi
ness through the clearing house con
tinues and for the past week increased
18.6 per cent.
The failures of the week have been
364 in the United States, against 205
last year, and thirty-six in Canada,
against thirty-five last year. Besides
one bank in Ohio and the Thurber
failure, there were four of liabilities of
over §100,000 and sixty-eight others
over $5,000. The volume of indebt
edness of firms failing in the previous
week was §3,727,467, against §3,467,-
346 the week before, being larger east
than south.
SECRETARY RUSK DEAD.
He Was Secretary tsf Agriculture Under
President Harrison.
Ex-Governor Jerome M. Rusk dif d
suddenly at Viroqua, Wis., Tuesday
morning. Mr. Rusk was born in Mor
gan county, Ohio, sixty-three years
ago. Twenty years later he removed
to Wisconsin, settling near his present
home. Few men have held so many
public positions. He was a member of
the assembly before the war, and the
summer following was commissioned
major of the 25th Wisconsin, jifter-
wards being made colonel. At the
close of the war he was commissioned
brevet brigadier general.
He was comptroller, was a member
of the fifty-second, forty-third and
forty-fourth congresses; declined the
mission to Paraguay and to Denmark,
and that of chief of the bureau of en
graving, was elected governor of Wis
consin in 1881 and served three terms.
When Harrison became president, in
1889, Governor Rusk entered the cab
inet as secretary of agriculture.
Up to ten minutes of dissolution he
talked with his watchers, and he appear
ed to have dropped into a peaceful
sleep. Death came without a struggle
and with no warning whatever. His
death was due to a complication of dis
orders, the origin of which dares back
several years.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation During the
Past Week.
The review of the industrial situation in the
South for the past week indicates that whi e
the week shows no iucre se in the organization
of new plants, the average has b en main
tained. There is a continued demand for mi-
ch’nery of a 1 kinds, and a larger nurat er than
usual of manufacturing establishments or • ad
ding to their < quipmen s. bomewbat more of
inquiry for iron produc s is reported, with no
change in priees, and coal mines are increasing
their output. Southern textile mills ate doing

NEWS FROM HAWAII.
Latest Advices from the Island are
Disappointing'.
A San Francisco special says: The
steamship Australia from Honolulu
arrived inside the golden gate at 8:40
o’clock Saturday forenoon. She
brought news from Hoululu that there
had been no change in the Hawaiian
political situation. The new United
States minister, Mr. Willis, presented
his credentials to President Dole, of
the provisional government, and had
not indicated prior to the d parture
of the Australia any intention on the
part of the United States government
to insist upon the restoration of
Queen Liliaukaulani.
DISAPPOINTMENT AT WASHINGTON.
A Washington special says: There
is general disappointment at the news
from Honolulu. It was expected that
the queen had been reinstated. But
whatever diplomatic intercourse may
have taken place. between Minister
Willis and President Dole, tho queen
will be reinstated by force if necessa
ry. The Ftate department received
no official tidings Saturday. Willis
had his orders to restore the queen,
and if he has not already accomplish
ed that, he will in the near future.

COUNTERFEIT TICKETS
To the Amonnt of $100,000 Passed on
a Number of Railroads.
A Chicago special of Tuesday says:
One of the biggest railroad swindles
ever perpetrated in this country has
just come to light. Counterfeit rail
road tickets to the amount of over
§100,000 have been honored in the
last four weeks by the Baltimore and
Ohio, Erie, Pittsburg and Western,
Nickle Plate and other roads.
There was absolutely nothing on the
face of the tickets to indicate that they
were counterfeit. They were accepted
without question by conductors, passed
readily by the ticket counters, and
were entered as of legal issue by. the
various ticket auditors. The first in
timation of crookedness cropped out
in the auditor’s office of one of the vic
timized lines nearly three weeks ago,
when duplicate tickets were dis
covered. . Since then sufficient
information has been obtained to au
thorized the victimized roads to engage
the services of a detective agency to
run down the counterfeiters. Up to
date the roads have expended • over
§11,000 in securing proof which is con
fidently believed will land the crimnals
in the penitentiary for long terms.
There is no means of knowing how
many tickets were sold by the counter
feiters. The railroads now have in
their possession about $200,000, more
than half of which was honored for
transportation.

The Big Coal Strike Ends.
A cable dispatch from London says:
The great coal strike has ended. Act
ing on the decision of the conference
held last week at the foreign office,
work was generally resumed at the
collieries Monday morning. There
were some few pits, however, that
were npt opened, owing to the fact
that fallen earth had blocked the Way's.
A Bird Snakes do not Like.
“We are not much troubled with
snakes down our way,” said Captain
Lepeyre of Galveston, “for we have a
bird which keeps ’em pretty well
cleaned out. This is the chaparral
'cock, or ‘road runner,’ as it is com
monly called, and we all protect it on
account of its snake killing propensi
ties. The bird is about the size of an
ordinaty guinea fowl and is stout
ly and compactly built. It wanders
all over the country, and its chief ob
ject in life appears to be the killing
of saakes. The ‘road runner’ ap
proaches its enemy cautiously and
circuitously, and as it gets near
stretches one wing down as a shield,
after the fashion of a turkey gobbler
strutting in a barnyard, and waits for
the snake to strike. -The wing is
thrown to catch the bite, and as quick
as a flash and beforo the snake can re
cover the ‘runner’ with unerring aim
sends its long bill, which is hard as
ivory, through the head of its antago
nist, which .puts in the time from
thenceforth until sunset in dying.”—
Chicago Tribune.
For Boils and Burns.
Take catnip and boil in sweet milk,
and thieken this with corn meal to
the consistency of any mush poultice,
and put it on the boil as warm as can
be borne. I saw a boy once who had
been afflicted terribly with risings all
under his chin and throat, relieved al
most immediately by this poultice,
when no other had done any good. It
seemed like magic, the cure was so
speedy.
For burns there is no better remedy
than linseed oil and lime mixed in a
smooth paste and spread on soft old
cotton or linen, and laid on the burns,
and changed once a day when the
burns are dressed. The lime must be
slacked, of course, and sifted through
a muslin, so that every lump is out of
of it. It is well to keep this mixture
always on hand, for we know not when
there may be occasion for it.
Another excellent remedy, and which
every one has now, is kerosene oil.
Satnrate cloths and bind on, or better
still, put oil on the burn, as much as
will stick on, aud cover with flour, and
bind clothes around it so as to exclude
the air.
The Queen’s Will.
The queen made her will in 1876.
It is engrossed on vellum, quarto size,
and is bound as a volume, secured with
a private lock. Several blank pages
have been left at the end of the book
for codicils, some of which have al
ready been added. Thus, when the
Princess Alice died in 1878, modifica
tions of the bequests were rendered
necessary, and in the summer of 1884,
after the Duke of Albany’s dea’th, fur
ther revisions were imperative. One
entry relates entirely to the disposal
of the queeen’s jubilee gifts, which are
not the property of the nation.—Lon
don Letter.
Iced Cocoa.
Iced coca is one of the best cold
drinks for lawn parties or luncheons
in warm weather. First see that the
teakettle is filled with fresh cold wa
ter, and this equally neccessary for tea
and coffee. To each quart of water
allow four heeping spoonsful of cocoa.
Put it in a double boiler and add
one-half pint of whipped cream, sugar
to taste and stand aside to cool. Serve
iced in glass mugs. If made well,
this will be delicious.—Exchange.

Bank of France Notes.
The life of a Bank of France note
is about two years, it being issued so
long as it is usable. In the matter of
destroying their notes set apart for
cancellation, a new departure has been
made by the-Bank of France.
The former practice was to incarcer
ate their doomed notes, for three years
in a large oak chest before submitting
them to conflagration. Thereupon u
huge fire was set aflame in an open
court; the notes were thrown into a
sort of revolving wire cage, which was
kept rotating over the fire, and the
minute particles of note ash escaped
into the air through the meshes of the
cage and darkened the atmosphere all
aronnd. The burnings took plaoe
daily, and were of a certain amount.
Now the practice is to have about 20
cancellations of notes each year, at un
certain times, and as the needs of the
service determine.
A hole is punched in .each of the
notes, which are .also;.stamped as fol
lows, “Canceled the ■ by the branch
at ,• or the head office of the Bank
Of France.” The notes are tlken marked
off in the registers of bank notes is
sued, according to their numbers and
descriptions. A committee of the bank
directors are present at their destruc
tion. The caneeledjnotes are no longer
burned, but are now reduced into pulp
by means of chemical agents.
Each destruction of notes averages
about 600,000 of all -kinds, and about
12,000,000 notes are annually destroy
ed. The Bank of France-has been lit
tle troubled of late with forgeries.
The greatest forger it ever had was de
ported to Cayenne, and in attempting
to escape got stuck in a swamp and
was eaten to death by crabs.—Cham
ber’s Journal.
Why He Went.
Employer—“Yesterday . ,you asked
for a day off, to get married; yet I saw
you in the afternoon cotping from the
races.”

to win money enough to pay the
