The Convenient Pencil;
Its Convenient Value,

One Of the most helpful things in the routine
work of housekeeping is the convenient pencil
and paper, which combination produces list
Of things to be attended to and which mate
rally aids the delinquent memory when there
are so very, very many matters to be thought
of These are perhaps trifling in themselves, but
sufficiently important if neglected to put a
clog in the wheels of domestic machinery,
thus throwing everything out of gear. There
fore the easiest way out of the difficulty is to
jot down the thoughts as they come and
then attend to them as you can.
At housecleaning time such list Is abso-
lutely invaluable. There is tiny leak in the
roof to be mended, a rat hole to be stopped
up, an old sofa to be repaired, broken lock
to be attended to, and dozen other matters
as well that are clamoring for time and at
tention. Now, no single human being can,
without great effort, remember all these in
cidental necessary ''must bes" of the ordinary
housekeeping existence Therefore as re-
lief and prop to the overtaxed brain and a
sure means of not overlooking the thousand
and one small but vastly important details of
the daily routine just establish a list in every
room in the house if one would not be suf-
ticiently large to hold all the jottings
1t is such satisfaction. too. to be able to
scratch out one after another of the items
until the long formidable array has dwindled
out OF slght and you can look around your
house and know that the little bothersome
things, as well as the greater wants, are all
attended to.
There is no use in woman wearing herself
out unnecessarily. She has enough to do.
goodness knows, even though supplied with
every labor-saving device known to the in
ventive genius OF men; therefore if she can by
simple little plan help herself over some Of
the worrying mole hills that appear to her as

how trivial it may appear to the outsider who
has nothing better to do than to run into her
neighbor's kitchen and ask exasperating Gues-

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL,
Senator Davis Will Have Something to
Say About 1t Later On.

Senator Davis Will Have Something to
Say About 1t Later On.
1t was generally understood when Senator
Morgan reported the Nicaraguan canal bill
that it did not wholly meet the approval OF
all members Of the committee, especially
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, who was opposed
to the bill when it was previously before the
Senate. Senator Davis has not put his objec-
tions in the form Of a report, and will not do
so, but he will probably make a speech against
the bill if it Is ever called up. As to this con-
tingency, it is well understood that as long as
the tariff bill Is before the Senate there will
not be the least possibility Of considering the
Nicaragua or any other bill, but when the
tariff is out of the way an effort will be made
to bring up the Nicaragua bill.
Eyes, 1 expect to make a speech against the
bill,'' said Senator Davis, "and will en-
deavor to point out some reasons why the
bill should not pass. Why should the United
States put 800, COO, 900 into canal when we
have not q navy to hold it ten days against
England, Germany, France or Italy? There
is another feature that ought not to be lost
sight Of, and that is the fact that vessels are
obliged to round Cape Horn Is a wonderful
defense for the United States. 1t is no small
matter to send a naval vessel around Cape
Horn. If we were to cut a canal through to
the Pacific, it would be open in time Of
peace and as many vessels could be put
through as are needed in case trouble was
contemplated in the near future. Without
the canal the vessels would be obliged to go
around the Horn. With $40, 600, 900 and the
immense iron mines on the Pacific coast, we
could make a show of defense in a short time
for all vessels that any nation would care to
send around the Horn. But the worst feature
of it is that we could not hold the canal nor
could we recover it If 1t was lost"
