THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Hot dry flannel, applied as hot as pos
sible, for neuralgia.
If you clean silk, never iron it while
wet or very damp. A better way than
ironing on the wrong side is to have the
silk dry and then lay thin, damp cloth
over it and iron on that.
Painting the kitchen walls enables one
to wash them off, and in general tends
to neat appearance. The paint should
be good oil paint, applied as for outdoor
work, first sizing the surface to be coat
ed with solution of one-half pound of
glue to gallon of water.
A mortar which, it is claimed. will
stand in all sorts of weather, is made of
one bushel of unslacked lime and three
bushels of sharp sand, to which is added
one pound of alum mixed with one pint
of linseed oil. The alum will counteract
the action of frost on the mortar.
A fact which is we'll worth knowing,
especially in the winter, is that the for
nation of steam on glass is prevented bv
thin coat of glycerine on both sides of
the glass. This is very useful knowledge
for sailors, and also for surveyors who
have to use their instruments in fooov
weather.

stroylng black ants that infest house

over all wet pad or old blanket. In
this way complete colony may be
wiped out
An exchange says: Pour one table
spoonful of clear solution of tannin "a
heaped teaspoonful of tannin to a gill of
ram water) into a tumbler full of the
suspected water. If no turbidity occurs
within five hours the water is good: if
turbidity occur within one hour the water
is decidedly unwholesome.
For softening the hands. take one-half
cupful of glycerine, one cupful of rose
water, one-half teaspoonful spirits of
camphor. First put camphor in the bot
tie, then glycerine, and shake well be-
fore adding the rose water. Apply after
washing the hands and while still wet
Rub in well, then wipe with soft towel.
To take iron rust out of white goods.
pour teacupfulo of boiling water; stretch
the goods tightly across the top of it;
then pour on a little of the solution of
oxalic acid dissolved in water, and rub
1t with the edge of teaspoon or anv-
thing. If it does not come out at once.
dip it down into the hot water and rub
again.
10 take out machine grease use rain
water and soda. To remove oil and var
nish from silk try benzine, ether and
soap very cautiously. To take out paint
mix equal parts of ammonia and tur-
pentlne. Saturate the spot two or three
times, then wash out in soapsuds. Paint
can sometimes be rubbed out of wooden
goods after it has dried.

Ir WOULD seem that the recent "orig-
inal package" decision of the United
States Supreme Court was not, after
all, to carry with it absolute, unalloyed,
solid comfort to the hearts of either the
Third Party Prohibitionists or the liquor
dealers of Iowa In his charge to the
grand jury of Story county, few days
since, referring to the above mentioned
decision, Judge Hindman said that 1.-The
state has the inherent right to prohibit
and abate nuisance; that no person has
a right in Iowa to keep place for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors rs bever-
age, whether in the original package or
otherwise" and that with this unques-
toned state right, or police power, the
Interstate Commerce act has nothing
whatever TO do" This is new view
of the question, as affecting the traffic
in states wherein the statutes prohibit
the "keeping and maintaining of place
for the sale of intoxicating beverages" ="
and the result of cases which are sure
to arise under that judicial interpreta-
ton of the late decision will be awaited
with interest. 1t renders the situation
in Iowa this: The Supreme Court of
the United States decide that under the
Interstate Commerce act liquors may be
shipped into Iowa in the original pack
age. Well, now the liquors are in the
state, but what is to be done with them?
The Iowa statutes prohibit any person
from keeping or maintaining a place
for the sale Of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage" and the right of the state to
regulate its own internal police system
is, of course, unquestioned, and the re-
cent original package" decision does
not refer to that inherent right in the
remotest degree.

A Victim of Etiquette.

The ridiculous rigidity of Spanish
court etiquette was answerable for the
death of Philip III. He was busily en-
gagged with his dispatches and state
papers. and, the day being cold, n great
brazier of burning Goals was brought into
the room and set down so close to his
majesty that soon his royal face was
bathed In perspiration. 1t was not in his
nature, however, to find fault or com
plain. and SO he sat in patience. enduring
the excessive heat, until the Marquis oil
Polar, one of the gentlemen of his cham
Der, perceiving how seriously he was in
convenienced, told the Duke of Alba, an
other of the royal body guard, to remove
the brazier. No. said the duke, that was
the duty of the kings chief steward, the
Duke of Usseda, who was accordingly
sent for. Unfortunately lac was not at
hand, and before he made his appear
ance the king was so heated that next
day fever supervened, which. acting ON a
naturally fergid constitution, turned to
