Hints 10 Mousckeep,

HARD woods should simply be wiped
off with a soft cloth or sponge wrung
from clear, warm water and dried at
once.
WASH ink stains from carpets with
milk, and afterwards with hot water,
when fresh. Old ink stains must first be
wctted, then rubbed with salts of lemon
and washed quickly.
BRIGHTEN your silver by boiling it up
in soapy water for a few hours, cover
with whiting moistened with some spirits,
dry in the oven, and rub off and polish
with chamois.

weed seeds III the saih

The .persistency of weeds in keeping
possession where they once get a foot
hold is largely due to the fact that their
seeds have great vitality, and rcappear
whenever a new surface is turned up.
Many arc also brought to the land with
manure or by winds and birds. The late
Peter Henderson once said that if any
one could get rid of all weeds the market
gardener should be able to do SO with his
thorough culture and repeated landings
of the soil. Yet after years of this treat

Their Farmers DO Not Want Our Compe-
titIon-A Prize for Artists.
PARIS. july 5.-The Senate this week has
questions. After a long debate It finally voted
In favor Of duty Of three francs on corn and
supplemented this by imposing n duty OF six
francs on cornmeal. During the closing de-
bate it was distinctly avowed that the duty on
corn was to be considered only continuation
OF the nine year old policy toward American
pork.
Comte Joucker de Careu declared that the
importation Of American pork was only an
other mode OF importing American corn. and
French farmers could not maintain themselves
against It. Tho prohibition OF pork was right.
and ought 10 be maintained. and the duty on
corn should also DO made prohibitive. NJ
MillRud called attention to the Tact that Ameri-
can pork is only prohibited on the ground Of its
ssS1 e mersS oher
piled that II was all right. and that the prohibi-
tion ought to be maintained.
. An article published In the Temps. which Is
ment, suggest. that there might be circum-
stances under which It might be desirable to
withdraw the prohibition against pork.
A proposition IL being agitated among Amer

OF age. Some wel-knoWn members OF the
American colony have expressed their desire
to contribute to such fund.
