AROUND THE HOUSE.

To polish kitchen knives nicely, mix
little bicarbonate of soda with the brick
dust and rub them thoroughly.
Slate floors should be polished, rub
bing first with a smooth, fiat piece of
pumice stone, and finally polish with rot
ten stone.
Coffee is used for mixing backing for
the stove, in order to make it stick closer
and last longer. Most housekeepers prefer
the old-fashioned backing to any of the
cements, because of its lasting qualities.
The.cement is easier to apply as it re-
quires no labor in polishing. No stove
should be BACKED more than once a
month, but it should be kept clean by
wiping off any clots of grease which may
be spilled upon it. The fues of stove
should certainly be cleaned as often as
once a month.
The proper washing of silk stockings
is matter of moment, now that they are
commonly worn. White silk stockings
should be washed in a strong lather made
of CASTLE soap or any good white soap
and warm water. Lay the stockings in
the lather and rub the soiled spots gen.
tly with the hands. Then rinse them
very thoroughly to free them from all
soap. Wiring them dry in cloth, turn
ing them wrong side out. When they
are almost dry stretch and rub them in
the hands to make them smooth and
bring them in shape, but do not iron them.
Black stockings may be washed in the
same way, but should be kept separate
from white stockings in the washing.
Some people 60 so far as to rub their
stockings when they are dry with cold
iron, always making the passes one way
to make them smooth and glossy. 1t is
great mistake, however, to iron any
stockings. 1t always makes an ugly
crease down the center and does not add
to the appearance. 1t is far better to rub
them into shape, fold them up and allow
them to tit themselves to the limb.

A Unique Will Case.

One of the famous legal complications
which Boston has witnessed managed to
involve in its intricacies quite a number
of notable men. For many years one of
the law offices in the old Joy building
was occupied by veteran lawyer known
as "Jerry" Brown. Quite late in life this
ODD gentlemen was married to one of his
clients, who not long after died. When
her will was opened 1t was found to have
been made shortly before her marriage.
By it she bequeathed practically all her
property to her intended husband, giving
small requests to her relatives and to
public charities, and also remembering
her husbands nephew, J. Q. A. Bracket,
whom she named with him as executor.
The will was witnessed by Albert E.
Pillsbury.
The heiis-at-law immediately set up an
attempt to break the will on the ground
of undue influence. The documents they
filed stated that among the property was
a house on the Back Bay and q large
amount of land in Kansas. They retained
rs counsel John ID. Long and Stillman B.
Allen. The executors retained Charles X.
Train and J. o. Teele. The will was al
lowed in the probate court and an APP
peal taken to the Supreme Court. There
the will was set aside. Then the execu-
tors appealed 10 the full bench on excep-
tons, but before the case reached trial it
was settled.
The reason it was settled was this: BY
the laws of Kansas when there is no will
the property of wife all goes to her hus-
band. The heirs were therefore fighting
to break will. which, if broken, would
have left them nothing for their pains,
while the legatee under the will was fight
ing to preserve it intact, when he was
sure to get more by having the will
broken. The consequence was that he
settled with the natural heirs on his own
terms.
''Uncle Jerry" lived numbersof wears
to relate with satisfaction the story of his
triumph. There was no such contest over
his will, for he made none. the ex-gover-
nor being his only heir and the admins
traitor of his estate. Boston Traveller.

Decision Of the Wisconsin, Supreme Cou
In the Apportionment Case.

Decision Of the Wisconsin Supreme Court
In the Apportionment Case.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has rem
dered . decision declaring the apportion-
ment made by the extra session OF the Leg
islature invalid Justice Winslow dissentS
Another session will doubtless be called
and the Legislature will make another at
tempt 10 conform 20 tho rulings OF the court
The court hold that the order granting
leave 60 the relator 20 bring this action
on behalf OF the State was properly made.
Hence the motion on behalf OF the defend
ant to yacate the same and dismiss tho
action must DO denied. The court further
holds that the complaint states facts sum-
Client to entItle the State TO the relief de-
manded therein. Hence the motion ON be-
half OF the State to strike out the demurrer
TO the complaint as frivolous and for judy
ment must be granted. Such determination
of these motions in effect overrules the
demurrer {, the complaint The general
view of the situation is that the court
practically decides that the Legislature
has no discretion In making apportion-
ments so far as population is concerned.
and that the law is practically declared
invalid.

American Newspapers.

In the history OF the American news
paper there have been so far six epochs,
each marking we'll defined eras in.the adj
vance of the country and of the press
these may be indicated in this way:
First-The first American newspapers,
1090-17O7.
Second-Ths colonial press, 1904
1853.
Third The party press, the religious
press, the agricultural press, the sport
ing press, the commercial press, etc.,
17S3-1s33.
Fifth-The cheap press, 1833-1835.
Sixth.-The telegraph and independ-
emit press, 1835-ie90.
There are published to-day in the
United Stated some 1900 newspapers,
trade papers, literary weeklies aud
monthlies and other periodicals, devoted
to every interest and order Of any inn
portance.
Every county in every State and terri
tory has now two weeklies, at least,
which represent the two prominent par
ties.
Nearly every village Of 1000 inhabit-
