March 1''.- (Special.)?Senator! Mchaurin, of South tNrolina, in no longer a democrat. His name lias been stricken troio > Undemocratic caucus roli. und this has been I lone with the indorsement of tlie gentleman ' j himself. Senator McLauriu lias, in fact, virtually' ! read himself out ol the party which elected him to the position he now holds. Whether he is to be classed as Independent cr republican, or whether he will prefer to retain the i t.itiK democrat in tho ollicliil congressional directory. Is something for tlif- senator himsetr to determine. As has been Kittled, however, lie Is no longer on the democratic caucus rol Is. j VOTING CON'SISTKNTl.V WITH liKI'l'ltl-ICANS. For some time the junior senator Irom 1 South Carolina has been voting with the 'republicans on every occasion w lit re there was a division on anything like political lines. To deinocratlic friends who have spoken with him on the subject lie has contented himself with declaring that his votes were in accordance with Jhis conscientious idea ol what was correct, and has said that he would continue to vote as he thought right, despite all the criticisms o( his democratic colleagues. Indeed these criticisms ( from oilier democrats see 111 to have aroused his resentment to such a degree as to make him vote with the republicans oftener, perhaps, than lie would otnerwise have done. He has up lo the present declared that he . was a democrat, aud that It would be found, , when the matter came to a test, that his votes met the approval of the most progressive element of southern democracy. . Now, however, he has formally separated himself from his party. LEKT TO M'l.At'RtN II IMSKI.K. When Senator Jones, as chairman of the democratic steering committee, began seDding | out his notices lor the cacus of democratic senators held last week, he was undecided as i to whether he should send a notice to Senator < McLaurln or should not. The South Carolina senator had so completely broken off his relations with his fellow democrats and had so , consistently voted with the republicans, even supporting the Philippine amendment to the army bill, that Senator Jones was .i.t.ti.tfni of his statu*, and accordingly con suited several of bin fellow democrats, asking theiu what, course be should pursue toward Senator McLHUrln. The matter was discussed at some length ami It was Dually decided that < the hest possible way to solve the problem would b<< for Senator Jones to consult the wishes of Senator McLaurin. Thin the Arkansas senator did, making it plain that the mutter of party alttliailous was entirely In the South Caroliniau's own hands. SEVERED OI.O POMTICAI. TIES. > Senator McLaurin asked that bis name be ' stricken from the caucus rolls. He said he < did not care to go into democratic caucuses iu the future,and that he would break ofl'all political associations with bis late party as- ' soclates. . Thisactonhis part will probably make a 1 lot of dlffetence iu senator McLaurin's politl- < cai future. He has delermiued to be a candi- . date to succeed himself in the Seuate and bas been expecting to make the race iu the demo- 1 cratic primaries, couuting on securing the . support ol the manufacturing cities and towns of bis state, and believing that this support would be sufficient to bring about his election. As a republican, he could have absolutely no chance of election at the bands ol a legislature which will be overwhelming , ly democratic; aud as an Independent he would stand little or no show In the demo- ( cratic primaries. Practically all of the white peopleot south Carolina are affiliated with the democratic organization and there Nap- ' pareutiy no place on toe list ot oflice holders i I tor either republicans or independents. OTIIEK INDEPENDENTS I.N THE SENATE. { Senator McLaurin's act in disassociating i himselt from tils party places him In the ' same category with Senator Jones, ofNevada, I and Senator Teller, ot Colorado, and senator ( Wellington, ol Maryland. Senior Jones is u republican un the tariff and on aimost every- ' thing eise except the mouey question, but be ' prefers to array himself with the minority. At the same lime he has never gone into 1 a democratic caucus. When It came to the make-up of the committee under the last reorganization there was a sort of com promise with regard to Senator Jones, according to wblcb nis8latus upon the existing commit- ' .,w,t. pint need. Senator Teller votes s and acts with the democratsuu all questionsol a poll Heal nature, but because of political conditions in his own State he prefers to be known as a silver republican and not as a | democrat. .Senator Wellington loses no op portunity to critlclne tne acts ol bis loriner republican associates, but be prelers to be classed as an independent. Ol tbe other western senators who have been more or less uncei tain In tbelr political .) affiliations since the silver questlou cbung eu party lines in 1696, Senator Stewart has gone back to the republicans, while Sena- * tors Dubois, Heitfeld, Turner, Harris, Faller- i son and Allen now affiliate with tbe democrats and go into the democratic caucused.

JL. L. . '? > HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE. Advice From nn Anthority on the Sabjeot of Lo?K<*vlty. Of tlu> giving of recipes for longevity tliere is apparently no eii'l. Kvery man or woman who lias reached out far beyond the ullotted threescore years anil ten Is made the subject of til entertaining argument to prove the points of this or that contender. Every, abnormality In the shape of strength of arui, of back, of general system, is used as an. illustration of the virtues of this or that system of exercise or living. It is the opinion of a good many laymen that mankind does entirely too much thinking ou the subject of how to live to a ripe old age. Less worry on this point might lead to the desired result. But there never will Ik; less worry. Even now the list of systems for prolongation of man's days is being augmented. The very latest suggestion conies from a physician of credit and renown. lie thinks that there is a very great deal of benelit or of injury in the wearing of certain kinds of clothing: According to this authority, the wearing of flannel next the skin is immensely injurious to the general run of men and women. Cotton is king, in his opinion. For summer wear he suggests a calico shirt, while balbriggan cotton is his idea of winter covering. The main point of his theory is the necessity of wearing always the Baine Kind OI mau.Tiai utAL uiu ?iwu, whether this be of linen, cottou or wool. Outdoor exorcise is highly recommended?that is, if cycling be excepted. Wheel ins Is not considered a sane performance by this judge. How to Duke Tripe.

Bent Plan of RepiBtcrlnK and Get tintc WuntH Attended To. A man accompanied by his wife should not drag her into the crowd tbat bangs around the office, as twothirds of them do. lie should first take her to the parlors, leave her there and go to the office alone. When he has registered and been assigned a room, be should go and get her. "When the boy has shown them the room, the guest should not hesitate to say so If ho does not like it. There are doubtless others empty, and it is the clerk's place to try to please. Another great blunder Is not to ask the price of the room before looking at it. Many a man fools reluctant to do this, but it is purely business. If the price does not suit, he can kick, but there is no use complaining after the bill is sent in and saying that he has | been overcharged, that lie has been there before and always had a lower | rate and all the many things that a man is apt to think about when he is ready to leave. j When a woman is alone, she should not go to the office. All that is necessary is to take a seat in the parlor and send her card to the clerk, stating whether she wants a bathroom or not and exactly the kind of accommodations she wants. She should frankly say if she wishes a quiet, room, a small room, an inexpensive room or any preference she may have. Despite all the printed warnings on hotel walls it Is almost impossible to get women to send their valuables to the office safe. Why? It is a mystery. But the owners prefer, as a rale, to take the chances. Then, if a loss occurs, they blame not their own carelessness, but the hotel management. Another thing: Trunks should be kept locked. Every hotel tries to get honest help. No hotel can guarantee that all its employees are or always will be proof against temptation. Every hotel asks its patrons not to tempt them. i lion- to Make Cocoa Cordial. One-half teaspoonful of Dutch cocoa, some boiling water, two blocks of loaf sugar and two tablespoonfuls of port wine. Put the cocoa and sugar into a china cup and pour directly upon them some boiling water and add the wine, making in all the usual amount called a cupful. Serve at once. This is an excellent drink for those who are chilled or exhausted or to take after a bath. Hot? to Make Squirrel Pie. Six squirrels, a quarter of a pound of salt pork and a pint of oysters. Cut the squirrel into meat joints and put into a stewpan with water enough to cover them. Add the pork, out into slices, and half a medfum sized onion. Cover close and simmer until tender. When done, take up the pieces of squirrel, strain the gravy and set both away to get cold. Line the sidt>s or a deep pie dish wltb a good paste, put a little gravy In the bottom of the dish, then a layer of squirrel and a few oysters and some of the oyster liquor. Sprinkle with liour, season with salt, pepper and a little mace and cover with bits of butter. Repeat until the dish Is full. Cover with paste, cut a hole in the center and bake half an hour. How to Decorate the Table. A charming dinner table arrangement is of La France roses and maidenhair ferns, with striped grass. A wavy line is formed down the middle of the table of the ferns and grass, and the roses are deftly Intermingled Ln the curves. Another pretty scheme is of holly berries and leaves, with asparagus fern. Iu the first' case the candle shades are pink, in the second - red. J How to Care For the Eyes. When the eyes ache, relieve them I by closing the lids for five or ten minutes. When stinging and red through crying, they should be bathed in rosewater or wet a handkerchief with rosewater and lay it over them for a few minutes. If they are bloodshot, you need more sleep or have been sitting ln a draft. If they have a burning sensation, bathe them with hot water to which a dash of witch hazel has been added. If the whites of the eyes are yellow and the pupils dull, strict attention should be paid to diet. How to Cook Hashed Clams. Melt pat of butter in chafing dish; then put in three dozeu Little Neck clams, hashed fine, and their juice. Add a teaspoonful of chopped chives and two of parsley. Cook over open fire until it boils up twice, cover on; thicken with bread crumbs, add two tablespoonfuls of sherry, season to taste and serve on buttered toast How to Make I'eppermlnt Cordial. Peppermint cordial may be made at any time of the year, for the chemist always Keeps the necessary preparation of peppermint Put GO drops o 1 essential oil of peppermint on to three or four lumps of sugar, pound It in a stone mortar, with a tablespoonful of brandy, till all is thoroughly mixed. Add this to one quart of proof spirits of wine and the same quantity of white sugar sirup. Color the cordial with beet root, and you will have a delicious sirup. Hon to Clean Lamps. Soak lamp wicks in vinegar before using them in a lamp. Wash smok? stained chimneys in warm water anc soap and rub while wet with vinegar 01 dry salt They can also be cleaned, af may be globes on gas fixtures, in warm water and soda and then in warm wa ter and ammonia.

He who smiles through his tears has learned what true joy is, and he who etep9 lightly under a heavy burden has performed the duty of Jacquiring a new and Christlike strength. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of of nthprH. A man's house should be on the hilltop of cheerfulness and serenity, so high that no shadows rest upon it, and where the morning comes so early and the eveuing tarries so late that the days have twice a.i mauy golden hours as those of other men. : 5- .. , H , . .- ,r 1 THE KITCHEN RANGE. How to Economize on tie Cie of Coal?Building1 Fire*. j One of the most fruitful sources of ; household waste and extravagance Is the coal bin, and tons of fuel are used where a single one would give the same results. Open drafts and a range full to the covers of glowing coals not only burn a needless amount of coal, but bum out the range at the same . I time. A shovelful of coal or sufficient to lightly cover the lire will accom- . i plish as much as a half scuttleful, ex! cepting in the increase of the coal man's trade. For a small range nut coal is best; for a large one. small egg coal. Red ash cool makes a hotter fire, with fewer cinders, than the white ash, and the latter burns more slowly. For these reasons an equal mixture of the two is a wise economy. The ashes taken from the Are should never be thrown into the can until they are sifted. The cinders thus obtained can Ka ah fliA fira o+ tlmoa trliAn tha UD UOCU VU UiV u. t. ?. MVM greatest heat is not needed. But they should always be added after the fresh coal Is well aglow. A third of a cupful of kerosene with which to" saturate the kindling and coal before putting it in the range ^ will facilitate the housemaid's morn- M ing work, whether or not the fire has been kept overnight Kerosene should never, however, be poured directly into a stove, either from the cup or can. The best way is to lay the wood on a shovel and cover It there with the oil, and then add a sprinkling to a shovelful of coal. Many housekeepers Insure their kitchens against accident from this cause by leaving a part of a cupful of oil for the servant's use and locking the rest in the storeroom. A handful of sugar will revive an expiring fire as quickly as will kerosene, but happy the housewife whose maid Is ignorant of the fact. This accounts in many cases for the rapid disappearance of the kitchen sugar supply How to Make Buckwheat Shortcake. ,;l| Take two cupfuls of nice sour milk (fjeshly churned buttermilk is the best), add half a level teaspoonful of soda (more if the milk Is very sour) and a level teaspoonful of salt Add sufficient buckwheat flour to make a very stiff batter. Pour this into a buttered tin and bake immediately foe ; "$8 about 30 minutes. Serve with butter and maple sirup. How to Slake Guinea Hen Pie. Bone the guinea hen and rub well. with pounded mace, allspice and pep- .v;|| per and salt (us*.- a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of mixed spices). Then spread c*".r a layer of forcemeat made by chopping two ounces of ham, one teaspoonful of parsley and the peel of half a lemon. Mince very fine, add a seasoning of salt, cayenne and mace. Blend all thoroughly together with six ounces of crumbs and two beaten eggs. Butter a raised pie mold and line with a stiff, short crust Then spread with the forcemeat Put in the guinea meat, packing it well in. Wet the edges, put on a cover of the paste, brush over with egg and bake four hours. In the meantime make a good, strong gravy. from the bones, pour it through a fun- 'M nel into the hole at the top, and the pie is ready for use. How to Roaat Clama. Wash and scrub the clams. Put them on the broiler and over a clear fire. As 4 they begin to open take them from the broiler and remove the upper shell. Pour over a little melted butter and serve with a quarter of a lemon. Add a little chopped parsley to the melted butter. Serve the clams very hot. How to Tell Axe of Horiei. The popular idea that the age of a horse can always be told by looking at his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is r' not entirely correct. After the eighth hnMo hoc nn mnrp npw teeth. J UUl I.UC uvioc Uk4^ . so that the tooth method Is useless for telling the age of a horse which is more than 8 years old. As soon as the set of teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the upper edge of( the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is added each year, so that to get at the age of a horse over 8 years old you ^ |s must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles. How to Broil Ham. Cut some slices of ham a quarter of Ji an inch thick, lay them in hot water for half an hour or give them a scalding In a pan over the fire. Then take them up and lay them on a gridiron over bright coals, then take the slices on a hot dish, butter them freely, sprinkle pepper over and serve. How to Clean Cat Gluia. Cut glassware Is both valuable and beautiful and should be carefully treated when cleaned. It should, in the first place, be washed in warm water to which have been added a few drops of that invaluable cleansing agent ammonia.

How to Stew Carrots. Scrape some carrots and boil till . ^ nearly cooked, place in a stewpan with one ounce of butter, a couple of small onions, minced fine; a little chopped parsley, with pepper and salt to taste. Simmer slowly for half an hour, then add some flour to thicken the gravy. Squeeze over all a little lemon juice and serve. How to Fry Eela. After cleaning the eels well cut them in pieces two inches long. Wash them and wipe them dry. Roll them In wheat flour or rolled cracker and fry as other fish, in hot lard or beef drip ping, salted. They should be browned ail over and thoroughly done. * A Christian i9 Christ"s minister plenipotentiary to the world.
