WHIrpwAs1 FOR KITCHEN Walls
The first consideration IN . cooking
Joo0o IS c}e,0li0sss- Tyied by THIS
test, papeYed waiIs are au ao0m'ua-
ton ia such a place. You cannot
darken this pom through part OF the
day in sumner, as you do others, and
consequently fly specks will be nGmer-
Gus. These walls absorb the kllch-
en- odors and steam, and the smoke
rests loyinglg upon them, If creep
inc thinUs ort into q house they are
sure TO i1sinpate themselves into the
paper on the walls. Hard finished
walls are really more cleanIy, for ttey
can be washed; but, unless the finish
ing Is better done than the Kitchens
we have seen, they soon t0oh dirty,
and this il the next worst thing to be-
iug so. for such finishing soon be-
comes discolored aud 'spiotchy.'
There is nothing that will compare
with the old fashioned whiteTash, not
color wash but whitewash pure and
simple. The color wash may give
the walls a prettier tint, but 1t must
he put on by pracliSed hand, where
as whilewash can be applied by any
one, whenever dirty spot makes It's
appearance. 1t is true that unpractIc
ed hands DO not apply the brush as
evenly as could be wished, but a few
streaks more or less don't matter
when we can see that the streaks are
white ana clean.

during his eventful and checkerd life.
The younger Robson, who was man,
aging the show which was here on

travelled with his fathers show. 1t

trouble with a body of Texas rufiians,
who had come TO the show at, We

and whiSkey, they set upon him with
revolver and bowie knife. The case
was hopeless bat in flight and success

escaped the first onset, and threw
them of the track for a moment. He
could hear their hoWls and vengeful
threats. Time was precious, and a
desperate deed for safety had to be
done quickly. He approached the
keeper of the lions cage, and, upon
peril of his life, bade him deliver him
instantly the key. BeIk unlocked the
door, and entered, seeking the safety
inside the lions den he well knew
was not outside. The ruse success.
fully threw them of the scent. He
rode in the Hons cage seventeen miles

TREES ABOUT FARM BUILDlNGs.-A
goodly number Of shade trees about
farm buildings add much TO the gener-
al appearance of the place, as also to
the comfort Of man and beast during
the hot days OF summer. But many
make the mistake of planting too
many large growing trees near the
dwellings, which in time exclude both
light and air, and causing the building
standing constantly in the shade to be.
come unhealthy. In cold climates
deciduous trees should always.be pre-.
ferred to eyergreenS, when planted in
a position likely to shade the house :
because it is only in hot weather that
shade is desirable, and in winter all
the light and solar heat to be obtained
are required for health As a rule,
We would say Keep all trees of large
growth at least one hundred feet from
dwelling house using the inleryen.
Ing space as lawn, in which NAV be
planted small growing trees and
shrubs. Evergreen trees should be
employed exclusively for ornamental
ton, or as wind breaks, but never fol
shade.

CLEANSING RooNS.-Rooms which
have been long occupied by the sick
should be throughly cleansed. The
old paper, and in many places the
plaster, should lie replaced by new,
as it becomes saturated with foul and
poisonous emanationS. The plaster
should always be washed with So
luton Of carbolic acid in water. Gar.
bolic acid Is cheap if bought b. the
qUantity) Use one half an ounce of
acid to a gallon Of water, and apply
with a whltewaSh brush. The Chinese
remove the plaster from their walls,
very frequently, being amply paid for
the trouble and expense by the great
value Of The old plaster as a fertilizer
on account Of the large amount of or.
ganic matter which it contains from
absorption. To facilitate The removal
OF old paper, saturate it with salaratus
water.

How To SELECT FLoUR.-First look
at the color. Ifit is white, with a
Slight yellow or straw colored tint,
buy it. Fit is very white, with a
BLUSH east, or with white specks in it
refuse it. Second, examine It's adhe-
siveness. Yet and knead little of
it between your fingers. Ifit works
soft and sticky, it is poor. Third,
throw a little lump Of dry flour against
a smooth, perpendicular surface; if ii
falls like powder, it is bad. Fourth,
squeeze some Of the flour in your hand
if it retains the shape given by the
pressure, that tools a good sign. Flour
that will stand these tesS, ii is safe to
buy. These modes are given by oul
flour dealers, and they pertain TO a
matter that concerns everybody, ,name

In every or almost every French honse-

require a little more salt and pepper,

The whole secret Of this lies in the
gentle simmering in a covered vessel,
whereby the flavor is wholly preserv-

A CHANGE FOR THE BETrEE-Th -
is an old rule of Congress, passed - =,
1916, providing for the appointment
of committees of five members on the
expenditures of each OF the Execu>
tive Departments; but for the last
fifteen years the rule, except by the
appointment; of such members as were
unavailable for other committees, and
who were expected 10 do nothing, has
been a dead letter. A strong point IN
Speaker Kerr's House Committees Is
the composition of those on eXpend,-
lures in the various departments. BY
the rule creating them, they are given
power to examine into the payment OF
ali accounts, and as TO the sufficlency
Of vouchers, TO see that the moneys
are expended strictly according to
appropriation They are also charg-
ed with reporting ali abuses in the de
partments to the house. and all re-
trenchments which they think proper,
having regard TO the efficiency Of the
service. Recently these committees
have rarely, if ever, had session, and
wnen they did act, as in the depart
ment of justice VIXEN Williams was 1t
lis head, last Winter, it was but to
make a whitewashing report. But
with the material OF which the com
miltees are now composed, and with
the abundance of work that j. evi~
IDENTIFY before them, the committees
on the navy, war, interior and justice
will likely bring forth something this
session that will prove beneficial to
the country, even though the principal
objects of the committees may be for
material use 10 the party in the ma
jority IN the house. The leaders OF
the house are determined on a strong
and vigorous inquiry by these commit,
tees.

\ TERRIBLE WEAPON.-}lr. koykel
of Passaic City, n. j., has fourteen
years past, in connection with New
York mechanic, been at work on an
invention which promises to Tevolu,
tionize ordnance. There was an ex-
hibition on Saturday in public of the
gun. The little one used Saturday
looked like l. foot gas pipe, with a
haltinch bore, carrying a needles
shaped bullet. On the underSide of
the gun are metallic pockets, each FILL
ed with as much powder as the load
at the breech. As the gun is fired,
these additional charges of powder
explode as the projectile passes
through the barrel, so that before it
goes out it receives the impending
force of each additional charge. Be-
ing spread along the barrel, the dan
ger of an explosion is ayerted and the
force increased to wonderful degree
The firs; shoc fired vas through a
solid mass of monitor iron four inches
thick, which the proieclile pierced as
though it were a pine board, and
buried itself several inches in al
oaken stump, against which the iron
had been placed. Then shot va:
fired at a target composed Of twelve
/ plates ot three eighths.iuch plate iron
securely strapped together The bul
let went through this. One. of these
cannons, of six-inch bore, has beer
completed and will be tested before

the field to fight those who attack
them, but these holy men, beloved by
the gods, overthrow their enemies

they made no show of resistance, but
upon their enemies near approach to
their cities they were repulsed with
