How to Clean Brushes.

Many clean brushes with turpentine,
but this renders the bristles brittle.
The best plan Is to wash them in tepid
water with good laundry soap. The best
soap is the old fashioned ''soft soap" still
manufactured in some households. Fill
the brush well with soap and scrub it
around in the palm of the hand. When it
has penetrated to every part of the brush,
remove 1T by squeezing between the fin
gers, beginning at the base of the brush
and pressing toward the point. Rinse in
clean water and dry with soft cloth,
gently placing bristles or the hairs Of the
sable brushes in proper position and
making the brush assume its proper shape
Brushes treated in this manner will last q
long time and always be ready for use.

The birds, bling wholly unable to fly and

their speedy extinction after the islands

accounted for. A foot of the dodo is among

The GingkO Tree.

The gingko tree, which we used to read
about in fairy tales and which we had al
ways supposed was mostly mythical, is
said to have been introduced into the
United States and to be really beautiful
specimen of the Palo verde. 1t is biloba
and very much resembles the maidenhair
fern in its foliage. 1t has withstood a
temperature of 10 degrees below zero. 1t
is a beautiful tree for the lawn, but is
valued only as q curiosity.

Cleaning Furniture,

There are several mixtures excellent for
cleaning off furniture, new or old. One
is given as follows by The Decorator and
Furnisher: Pure raw linseed oil, quart;
spirits of wine and vinegar, of each a half
pint; butter (terchloride) of antimony, Q
ounces; spirits of turpentine, half pint.
Shake well before using. Use rubbing
pad made by rolling up Q inch strip Of
wooden cloth. Several applications will
be needed for new furniture or for such as
has previously been French polished or
finished in beeswax.

The Hands of the Athletic Girl.

The ardent advocate and devotee Of out
door sports notices that her hands grow
red and unsightly, and she does not like
1t. However, she can easily whiten Them
for all that is necessary is that they should
be washed in hot milk and water just be-
fore going to bed, then rubbed well with
either almond, palm or clear olive oil, and
a pair of channels gloves drawn over them.
Use hot water and good soap for washing,
and in the daytime wear gloves that will
promote perspiration.

Frequency of Color Blindness.

Recent statements of the chief surgeon
of a leading railroad appear to show that
color blindness is more common than is
generally supposed. His examination of
the employees who have to do directly
with the movement of trains and the read
ing of signals leads him to state that from
8 to per cent of the male population are
more or less color blind. A common form
is the inability to distinguish red as sep
arate color. 1t is COMPOUNDED with gray
or green. In a number of cases the color
blind cannot distinguish green.

Either black or red raspberries may be
used for this, but the latter are especially

QUEER TALK.

The remarks which Bishop Nelson
of Georgia, is quoted as having made
in Washington, with reference to the
negro question in the South, have
caused considerable comment:
He is quoted as saying:
"We haven't even scratched the
surface of the negro problem said
he. "What are we going to do with
these people? The colored people have
religion-more Of it thar they can
use. What are we going to do? There
have been four distinct theories adj
vanced, which | will merely. touch
upon. The first is amalgamation.
This is absolutely impossible. The
South Internationally refuses to ac-
cept it as a solution and there is no
use talking of it any longer, The
second idea is determination, but NJ
really Cody people believe in that,
| think, so we need not dwell on it
longer:
'Let people.deport if they want to,
but it won't affect the problem any.
The fourth theory is segregation This
is.what | regard as the true solution
Of the matter. 1t will bring them to-
gether and yet keep them apart.
It is more trouble to get the colored
people, as rule, to go to white
churches and white schools than TO get
the whites TO let them come in. Edu-
cation is not the only thing. They
must have reIigi-educatlon and strive
to raise both body and SOUL
The South has never considered
"amalgamation," and consequently
could not have refused to accept it as
a solution of the problem. 1t was no.
a refusal. An intimatlon that the
Southern whites are more willing to
associate with the negroes than the
negroes with them is incorrect and
unjust.
Possibly the fact that the Bishop
was imported from the North not Sc
very long ago will account for what he
said while in Washington.

:. the person of Clement A. Evans.

< the person of Clement A. Evans.
He will enter upon the duties OF this
Office to which the people have called
him unencumbered by any political
debts.
His hands are clean of any whispered
pledge of jupta or caucus. He comes OF
the people, he has been called by the
people, and out of the nobility of
Christian manhood he will administer
the States affairs for the peoples good,
Whatever the critics may say to the
contrary, the rule still holes true that the
character of people is represented by
those they elect to Office. General EV-
ans will be another added to the long
and unbroken series of Christian gentle
tlemen who have honored Georgia's ex-
ecutive mansion.
When General Evans was only twenty
six years, of age the late Senator BenJa-
min II. Hill, who was many years his
senior, leaned upon him for counsel at
the turning point in the latters political
life, and in doing so paid him the high
est tribute which one man can pay an
other. For more than half century he
has gone in and out among our people,
and there is not a man who can or will
say aught against him. His character is
ELOQUENT. A loving husband, father
friend, brave, generous, profound, re
nouncing the pomp and glory of worldly
splendor, he has consecrated the enc
gies of vigorous life to his God and
his country.
We cannot think of this man as poll
tician, for he is not THAI period of his
life in which he might have been lured
by the glitter of official power within
his easy reach was spent in the humblest
work. Perhaps no man ever INDUCED so
little pride who had so much of which
he might be proud. An Office rarely
seeks a man, but when it does its choice
is uneering, and this instance is an illus
tration. Whatever pledges candidates
may make, or platforms they may stand
upon, nothing commands public conf
dence like spotless character. "Oh,
Lord, make me as little child that l
may Judge this natiOn," said the grand
est of rulers.
I Adverse interests may clash, yet
there abides a sense of safety in the
public mind so long as the governing
power is exercised in the fear of God.
There is something more than chance in
the fact that in the whirlwind of com
mercial and political disorder when the
conservative people If a conservative
state turn toward a man whose heart
has been stamped from his boyhood,
like the great seal of his native state,
with the motto, ''Wisdom, justice ana
moderation. Exchange.
