A Case OF APHASIA.

call of war and joined a Georgia regi-

preparations, also.
Keen, conservative insight, inherit
ed from canny Scotch ancestry, enabl-

of the times, and beneath it he fore
saw disaster and defeat. A phrase
that was afterward on everybody's s
lips was on his own from the begin
ming. "TheY have too many men, .
he said, land too much money"
So while alive to the voice of duty
he prepared for what he believed to
be the inevitable. At no little sacri-

possessed into cash-into gold. Lands,
houses, stock and slaves all went.
There were many southern planters
who did this thing, but none on near.

Spelling Reform.

Among the changes in spelling and
nomenclature which the Government
boards on geographic names suggests
for use in all official documents and
publications, are many Russian
names of places in Alaska, which are
simplified by the omission of useless
letters, as ofAmchitka for Amitkhitka
and Bering, for Behring, etc. Sever
al names in common use are changed
to conform with international usage
as Baluchistan (Asia) BeloOchistan
Barbados for Barbados, Chile fol
Chill, Kong, Kamerun for CAMERON
KOngo for Congo, Puerto Rico toI
Porto Rico, Salvador for San Saliva
dor, and etc. Some names of places
in the United States are corrected
and in cases where locations have two
or more names, one is selected as of
fetal. The Board is a permanent
body appointed by the President, anc
Professor ThOmasC. Medenhall, OfthC
coast survey ischairman. His assOci
ates represent several of the depart
ments at Washington. Doubtful
cases of photography and nomencla
ture will be referred to them, anC
from time to time they will issue bul
letins of corrections for use in the de
partment. 1t would be a gain if th'
schools and the press generally would
follow the Governments geographi
cal standard of names.-SpringfielC

Hints for Housekeepers.

An excellent domestic furniture pol
ish is made by taking equal parts Of
sweet oil, turpentine and good cider
vinegar put all in a bottle and sbak-
en- well before using; use an old bit of
flannel to apply the polish; becareful
not to use to much; then rub i'm well
and finish with a dry cloth and hard
rubbing. Bureau and tables come
out "like new" and with little cost.
even of time. The mixture keeps we'll
and is always ready; it cleans as well
as polishes the chairs and tables.
The green-grass STAIN" which in
summer time so frequently spoils the
pretty white frocks of childhood, can
be removed by alcohol.
Oxalic acid is best to remove iron
rust. Wet the stain and lay thearti-
Gle in the sun. You may have to wet
the place several times. When the
rust has all disappeared wash immedi-
ately, as the acid Injuries the fabric.
Keep your oxalic acid bottle put care
fully away out Of reach of small fin
gers and have it properly labeled poi
son. OXalic acid will usually remove
ink stains. Grease spots are hard TO
take out. The old-fashioned way Of
scraping French chalk and putting il
on the place is'a good one. Remove
the chalk and put fresh on several
times if necessary. This will not in
iure the delecate fabrics.
Wax can be removed from clothes
or carpets by ironing a coarse paper
over the spots. Blotting paper will
sometimes absorb greese If placed
over the spot andironed with a warm
iron.
To wash fannels never put them i'm
water more than blood-warm. Hot
water shrinks them. BE sure both
suds and the rinse are of the same
temperature; make strong suds and
rub them well on the board il much
soiled take through second suds and
then rinse quickly; wiring as dry as
possible through the wringer and
shake out well and hang up immedi-
ately, for nothing shrinks hannels
more than the clothes basket. They
should be washed and dried as quick
ly as possible. Flannels should be
washed early in the day, so as TO dry
thoroughly; they also need a long
time in the air and sun, as they can
not be scalded like white linen and
cotton clothing. Flannels washed
carefully last much longer and look
much better. lt is a good way 90
have them brought in and pressed
the same day. They can be dried,
but do not have them remain folded
all night. If not convenient TO iron
the same day hang lightly on an i'm
side line or clothes bars and iron
early the next day.
A carpet can be greatly improved
by n second sweeping with coarse salt
or dampened dcornmealscattered over
il. 1t is quite astonishing how much
dirt will be taken up. Wiping thecar-
pet with a damp flannel cloth, wrung
out OF warm soap suds, orwater with
ammonia or borax. is also nice way
to keep n carpet bright and good. IL
oilcloth is rubbed now and then with
turpentine and bees-wax il will last
longer.-Chicago News.

Our Indian LEGISLATION.

Our Indian legislation has been in
a measure contradictory, hut the
general trend has been in the direc-
tion of wiping away all distinctive
race-barriers. This is in keeping with
the genius of our institutions. The
Indians must have the same privi-
leges and responsibilities as other
citizens. The old reservation lines
must be wiped out. Some of the un-
used land is actually needed now for
settlers. The autonomy of the tribe
must become a matter of tradition.
The state and national government
are the only sources of sovereign
power to which one should look.
Such a change. of course, will have
to be a gradual one. But if the In
dian is ever to be raised above a
state of tutelage such must be the
spirit and ultimate aim of all legisla-
tion for his control and all govern.

A Novel Experiment,

The task of stirring up people to
induce them to get their names en- the
voting list and go to the polls on elec.
tion day is likely to be a light one in
Illinois this year. The law against
vote shirking passed by the last Leg
islature of that state has gone into
effect there. This law provides that
the election clerks shall make out a
list of all persons in their respective
precincts who are entitled to vote
but who have not had their names
registered, and within thirty days
after the election this list must be
turned over to the clerks of the coun-
ty boards, who are commanded to
prepare from this their lists of jurors
before the names of registered voters
have been made use of for this puI.
pose. Hereafter, therefore, any per.
son who shirks his duty as a voter in
Illinois is almost sure to be called foI
duty as a juror within a very short
space of time. 1t will be interesting
to see how this law operates in spur
ring up the delinquents.

TO THE
FARMERS Of VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many OF
them would bring you 90,
10 and even so cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you
only a penny for a postal card
on which to send me your ad
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method of taking Oft and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
gladly mail these to you free
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and so request.
In most ofthe towns of Yer
mont | have buyers but in
localities where | have none |
would suggest that a half doz-
en- farmers club together and
ship their skins in quantities of
25 or more in which case |
will pay all freights after de-
livery at X. R. depot. | cannot
allow you wholesale prices in
towns where / have a buyer but
where | have none | will
gladly arrange with any reli-
able farmer who is willing to
attend to the matter of collect
ing skins taken off in his
vicinity, and in such case will
of course allow the buyers

What Reciprocity Is Doing.

The fact that the Berlin iron bridge
company has shipped twenty.threc
carloads ofiron to Rio deJaneiro has
already been given to our news col
umns; but have our readers stopped
to consider what il implies? Hither-
to the contracting firm i'm Brazil has
been in the habit of buying in Eng
land whatever material il required !;
now because of the reciprocity treaty
negotiated by the present admins
