LOOKING BOTH WAYS.

' "With this number, we complete

volume No. 1 of the L E D O K B . Look-

ing backward upon the year's work,

we note its failures and sbortcomingi,

with a view to the avoidance of simi-

ar mistakefl in the future. There is

much that may be done to improve

the paper, and we prosose to keep as

well up with the procession as our

means and support will warrant.

Whileful ly cognizant of our weak-

nesses as a publisher, we are also ful ly

aware that wo have endeavored to

serve the public to the best of our

ability. Newspaper work, like the

stage, appears differently according to

the station of the observer. Behind

tbe scenes, in both instances, are sur-

roundings and circumstances that even

holders of reserved seats know not of.

To a considerate and intelligent

public, therefore, we make no apolo-

gies.

Our best endeavors shall be given

to make Volume No. 2 better than

Volume 1. To this end we earnestly

invite the co-operation of all public

spirited citizens, while we endeavor to

obey the injunction:

"Look not back regretfully upon

the post; it cometh not again. Im-

prove the present; it is thine. Qo

forth to meet the shadowy future with-

out fear, and with a manly heart."

Who says the present Congress of

the United States is a dilatory body ?

JJe is a yile cal^mnjator.

Who says it is a deliberative body

(hjit can't transact business with expe-

ditiop when a great emergency calls

for it ? Lot him hide his head in shame.

It is true that the present United

States Congress, with a clear majority

in ikvor of repealing the Sherman sil-

ver law, had to take about four months

l6 do it, though tha o .^ i try was suf-

fering ibr every day of uncertainty.

It is trqe that it lias been wrestling

for atyrat the same length of lime with

the new tariff bill and hasn't got with-

in sight of the end yet, though con-

purnes, Cni)8cy Fletcher, Lockwood,

McUreary, Morse, O'Neil, Quigg, Rau.-

dall, Reed, Walker and White. The

appalling nature of the discovery can

therefore be realized. The law had

))o^ been iiit.ei|ded {o lorbid the sale at

the Shoreham, but it was discovered

that it did turbid.

Note now the rapidity of events!

M i y 2 the Commissioners seryed not

ice on the Shoreham that it was sel-

l ing liquor in violation of thplaw and

must quit it on May 8, kindly giving

tho proprietor six days to get ready to

obey the law and dispose of the stock

in hand. The United States Senate

grappled with the emergency. Qft

But when /wrije rpal crisis, some

emergency on which the fate of the

nation really hangs, arises, then it is

that the Senate vindicates its mqjesty

and movea with the power and rapid-

i ty of the femj)est. Sucl} a crisis and guph an emer-

gpucy arose the other day. A discov-

ery was made that threatened to dia-

rupt the Guverument, dissolve thp

Union, block the wheels of legislation,

and make the national capital the

scene of ravaging and rampaging dis-

aster. We don't refer to Coxey—not

at all; but to something really solemn

and serious, not p» say tragic.

I>Ugraceful D e m o c r a t i c Convent loB.

The Democratic convention of S t Clair county, held at Por t Huron to elect delegates to the s tate convention, was the scene of a most disgraceful

'. The opening of the convention, when a gang attacked the presiding officer of the-convention and* dragged him from the platform by foroe, knocking h im to the fioor, puts all o ther disgraceful exhibitions of vio-lence a t conventions in the shade.

The trouble was between the adher-ents and the opponents of Congress-man Whiting, and resulted In the holding of two conventions, the ant i -Whiting peoplewithdrawingand claim-ing 87 out of 126 regularly elected dele-

tes. They adopted resolutions coa-mning the Republican pnrty, com-

mending President Cleveland's admin-istration, approving the Democratic party 's a t t i tude toward tariff refom a n d the money question, condemning t h e action of the s tate central commit-tee in calling an early convention, and denouncing the brutal conduct of t h e mob which at tempted to break n p the convention, and charging that Jns t in R. Whiting and bis managers insti-gated their action, which was carried on for the most par t by hired ruffians. Delegates were then elected a a d t h a t faction adjourned.

The Whitlngltes convention lasted only long enough to elect delegates and pass a resolution tha t every dele-gate vote for Just in R. Whit ing tor governor.

DBTBOIT. Mloh., June 20.—Heteklah Vaughan of the township of Oosfield, Essex county, Chnads, was lately dis-charged from Harper hospital in this city, af ter undergoing a serious surgi-cal operation, wi thout any relief for his malady or any hope of relief. I t was impossible both before or af ter the operation for the phyiiolansto tell with certainty what ailed him. He suffered considerably from bloating. He was greatly constipated and on one occasion his bowels refused to act fo r seventeen daya For months, the tak-ing of a drink of water would make him vomi t Aa might reasonably be supposed, his sufferings were intense. Different doctors ascribed his trouble to the kidneys, the liver and the blad-der, bu t none of them could cure him.

FiuaUy, he came to Harper hospital in this city for treatment. His case excited much interest, but the doctors could not agree in their diagnosis. They decided to cut him open and see wha t the operation . would disclose. They kep t him on the operating table for four hours and a half, and were no wiser a t the end than the beginning: After some weeks Mr. Vaughan waa discharged from the hospital as incur-able and went heme.

On his. arrival there he heard of Dodd'e Kidney Pills and some of the cures effected by them. He began using the pills and in four days com-menced to improve. Tl.e first favor-able symptom he noticed waa the regular aetion. of his bowels Six boxes ef the pills cured him. His whole trouble was some kidney dis-order which the doctors did not sus-pec t

T h e Baby '* Laye t t e .

• E v e r y ona has a different id ia of what the wardrobs for the l i t t le baby should consist. 'The babies themselves are pret ty much alike In their re-quirements, and so it seems t h a t t h e y might be governed by one simple rule.

The foundation is generally the same, but the variations are found In different forms of elaboration a n i ex-pense. In this article I want to tel l what Is necessary to mike the baby comfortable, and how to arrange i t We Will begin with the bands—the first article of clothing tha t Is pu t on the baby.

These, of course, nre made of flan-n e l They want to be ..piade f rom a nice piece, a t about sixty-five cents a yard,.and should ba torn In strips fif-teen inches long and five inches wide; six are enough. Do not tu rn down the edges, for even tha t l i t t le hem is rough for the baby's skin. If any decoration Is wanted, button-hole them along both sides with white silk. This is all tha t is neccessary.

The nicest shirts are those made of silk and wool mixed, high-uecked and long-sleeved. These should button al l tho way down tho f r o n t I t is much easier to pu t them on when they but ton in tha t way, aud aaves put t ing over the head, which the baby always disl ikes They can be bought for 81.15 a piece. Six ia a gen-erous supply, and two can be bought a size larger than the other four, which should be the smallest size. A less expensive shirt, t h a t Is very good, is of cotton and wool mixed, for about aixty-five conU.

Next come the barrow-skirts. These are made with a cambrio waist-band, five Inchea deep a n i sixteeu inches long. The flannel Is ga thered in a t the bottom of the baud, snd-ahould be about twenty-five Inohes long. I t Is l e f t open al l the way up, and ia bound with fiaunel binding, a l l a round the edge. The same quali ty fianual as used for the bands will do for these. There should ba six. Bibles, as a rule, do not wear tha b i r r o w skirts longer than the first thrae months. Then they will need the.flannel skirts, which do not differ very much. They are. larger and do not open u p the front , and are generally embroidered around the bottom. There Is no bat-ter or pret t ier way-to finish fianual than to, work It In this way. Of course it is much less expensive to buy the fiaunel and have i t stamped and do i t yourself t han i t is t o buy the fiaunel already embroidered. If i t Is a "winter baby," a crood plan is t o make the baud of the skirt a lso of flannel These ski r ts should be quite fu l l to look nicely.

The white skirts can be made of domestic cambrio for 13K cents a yard. Or,* if something nicer is wanted, some' of the soft-finished cambrics tha t can be had f rom four-teen cents to twenty cents a yard. These are made on a cambrio band theaameaize as t h a t on the barrow skirts. The white ski r ts should ba about thirty-four inohes long when finished, and made o! two widths of the cambric. They can ba finished around' the bottom with a deap hem and two amall tucks, o r elss embroid-ery. There should also be six of these. Ten or twelve dresses s n d six

tr immed with It. In place of it, how-ever, narrow edging or Valenciennes lace may be used for the neck and tho sleeves.

The dresses can be made of 'a more expensive quality of cambric, and. the best ones of nainsook. There is very little variety in "the way these are made. Those with l i t t le tucks across the f r o n t are tha prettiest. A line of fea ther stitching can bo mide be-tween the tacks. A cotton comes by the ball for the purpose. Narrow lace or fine nainsook edging is best for the finish of the neck and sleeves A deep hem with three or four very fine tucks above It Is more used nowa-days to finish tha bottom of the skir t than' the ruffles of lace and embroid-ery t h a t need to bo so much the fash-ion.—Harper's Bazar.

The le t te r cited the record of a f ru i t valley in California, whose 75,003 resi-dents should be In constant menace of the trouble because of the continuous f ru i t season aud the hab i t of eat ing seeds Yet not one, it-was reported, has ever had a symptom of appen-dioitis, aud tha correspondent, as has been said, ascribes this immunity to daily prune-eating. The gen-tly laxative property of this f ru i t is well known, and It is probably th is action which makes it of value. I ts action on the liver, too, is beuaficial, aud It has ba-sides a considerable nutri t ive excel-lence, making it a valuable family food. I t is a good plan to prepare five or tan ponnds a t a time, saving time and having It always ready. Let the prunes stand a t least four hours iu water enough to cover them. Then put on in a l i t t le cold water—just enough to keep from burning—and stew very slowly, closely covered. When done, and thoy should be plump and tender a t th is stage, add two pounds of sugar to five pounds of f rui t , and leave them on the stove for perhaps fifteen minutes longer. Pack In j a r s and serve freely.

A dispatch from Wcstport quay, 11 miles from Castle Bar Island, Ireland, annmnccs a terrible disaster to a pa r ty of harvesters who were on their way to Scotland. A passe ngejr.boat re turn-ing to Westport q u a v , ' from Achil island, having on boara eighty hsrvest-ers who were to be shipped to Scot-land from Westport, capsized. Accord-ing to the first reports of the disaster 30 out of th6 80 passengers were drowned, b u t later advbes say tha t i t is believed tha t 50 of the harvesters lost their lives. The boat capsized off Annaghead.

All the victims were young people and were of both sexes. They were inhabitants of Achille Island, aud de-pended for s livelihood upon the scanty earnings they could make in England and Scotland, to which countries they were accustomed to migrate every year. The boat which capsized was much overcrowded, the people In their haste to catch the Glasgow boat f rom Westport having,lit t le regard for their safety. One hundred and ten persons were on the vessel when she wen t down. The disaster was due to an at-tempt t o tu rn the boat without lower-ing s a i l Most of t h e victims were kept under water by the sails.

A chance to set pics and other "goodies" fresh from the oven where they may cool before being placed in the pantry is dear to the hear t of evety housckeepar. But the ordinary window ledge and the bench outside the kitchen door afford a very lu-seenre resting-place for those dainties, though files, the family cat and the neighbors' cats would no doubt vote atralnst any innovation of old ways. Security against alien appeti tes may be secured for pies, cake, sauce and other articles while cooling, while the entrance to the bouse of files and other insects Is still guarded aga ins t A broad shelf is placad outside the kitchen window on iron brackets, and from the outer corners of this wooden frame is erected. Over this f rame, both top, sides and ends, is stretched wire mosquito natting, the edge of the net t ing being drawn so as to jus t meet the lower p a r t of the sash when it is raised to the height of the top of the frame. A screen is thus provided when the window Is open, and a broad shelf secured, which is guarded from the outside.
