i 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. THE HEWS IN GENERAL. Conflonsel from Our Most Important TeleppMc Ates And Presented in Pointed and Reada ble Paragraphs. 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.”— Lewiston Journal. He Was Slack. Gentleman—“See here! You are the boy who came whining nround lust night, saying you were stuck on some papers, and I bought them.” Boy—“Yessir; much obliged.” “But those papers were a week old.” “Yessir; that’s why I was stuck on ’em,”—Street A* Smith's Good News. He Filled the Bill. Sweet Girl—“The man I marry must be both brave and brainy.” Adoring Youth—“When we were out sailing, and upset, I saved you from a watery grave.” “That was brave, I admit, but it was not brainy.” “Yes, it was. I upset the boat on purpose.” Didn’t Wi>li to Hurry Him. She—“Papa lias hnd bad luck lately, and says that if you marry me now you must take me just ns I am.” He—“Ah, my angel, he does me in justice. I am not oue of the selfish, in considerate, now-or-never kina. I can wait." Time to Quit. Summer Girl—“I have broken my engagement with Mr. Softheart. ” Friend—“Indeed! I didn’t know his vacation was so near its end.” Unappreciative. Clara—“Mr. Nicefelio said my face was classic. What is classic?” Dora—“Oh, moat anything old.” Brnce Up Your System.

The finance committee of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor in session at Philadelphia made its long looked for report Tuesday evening. The order finds itself in a fair financial condition. The report fully sustains Grand Master workman, T. V. Powder- ly and the executive board in the man ner that the donated relief funds for strikers were disposed of and the mem bers of the committee are very well satisfied with Powderly’s explanation. A London special says: The house of lords committee which has been considering the question of marking foreign meat imported into England, issued a report Wednesday. It says that the United States is tile principal exporter of meats to England, send ing 348,572 tons per year.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Affairs oi Goyernment anil News oi the Departments Discnssei Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo* pie and Their General Welfare. Secretary Carlisle haa received the resignation of Henry G. Heffron, sur veyor of customs at Denver, Col. Logan Carlisle will probably resign the chief clerkship of the treasury about the first of next January. His health is poor and he intends to take a trip to Europe. He will be succeeded by his brother, William K. Carlisle. The news of the death of ex-Seere- tary Rusk was read by Secretary Mor ton Tuesday morning just as he was leaving his office to attend the cabinet meeting. He at once ordered the flag over the agricultural building to be placed at half mast, out of respect to the dead secretary. 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.

The steamship Alameda from Sydney and Auckland, via Honolulu, arrived iu port at San Francisco Thursday morning, bringing news that nothing of special importance has transpired at the Hawaiian islands since the Aus tralia left nearly a week ago. The Ha waiian newspapers have little editorial comment on the political situation on the island. When the Associated Press bulletin came in from San Francisco Thursday announcing that the steamer Alameda had brought no news of special inter est, and that there had been no at tempt to return the queen to her throne, was shown to Secretary Gres ham, he said: “That is surprising to me. I expected to hear by this time that she had been returned.” The remains of General Rusk, guard ed by a delegation of the men who knew him on the fields of the south during the troubled time of J861-’65, rest in state in the little Methodist church at Viroqua, Wis.

Radford Dunning, a porter, aged for ty-four, and James McKay, aged thir ty-eight, were killed by jumping from the top story of the burning structure. A Charleston, S. C., special says: The board of control made a settle ment Thursday with the city and comi ty for the dispensary business up to date. There are five dispensaries here, and the city’s share of the profits ag gregates §515. This would amount to an income of about §2,500 a year. The city’s income from liquor licenses before the new dispensation came in was about $20,000 a year. The tax payers will have to foot the deficiency. A New York special of Thursday says: Steel and iron circles have been greatly agitated during the past few dnys over the rumors of a recently ef fected pool composed of the leading street rail manufacturers of this coun try. The companies alleged to be be hind this trust are the Carnegie Steel and Iron Company, of Homestead, Pa.; the Cambria, of Johnstown, Pa. ; the Illinois Steel Company, of Chicago; the Bethlehem Steel and Iron Com pany, of Bethlehem, Pa., and the Lackawanna Steel and Iron Company.

The en gine, caboose, baggage car, mail car and mail were burned. 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 well. Farmers continue to bel eve that cotton wi.l bring higher prices, and those who can do so an ho ding their crops. '1 he larce crops of rice and sugar are mak ng money easier along the lower gulf coast, aud mercantile business is prosperous for thesetson. ihir-y n-w industries were established or in corporated during the week, together with eight enlargements of mannfac ories and ten important new bni dings.

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.

Almost every eitizen of Birmingham who has an extra room will fill it with old soldiers and it is intended that the veterans shall be enabled to attend with as little expense to themselves as possible. 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.

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 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.
