Here are several valuable recipes for
removing various kinds OF stains.

and have been washed with SOAP. II Is
rather difficult to get rid of them. But
JaVelle Water-which can be made at
nome or bought of druggist-is gen
orally most successful. Put about half a
pint OF 1avelle water and q quart of
clean water into an earthen bowl: let
the stained article soak in this for sew
eral hours. Then rinse thoroughly i'm
three waters. 1t Is only white goods
that can be treated in this manner, as
the jaVelle water bleaChes out the color.
Sewing machine oil stains-To re-
move these stains rub the stain with
sweet oil or lard and let 1t stand for sew
eral hours. Then wash it in soap and
cold water.
Pitch and tar stains-Rub hard on the
stain and let 1t stand for q few hours.
Spoge with spirits of turpentine until
the stain is removed. If the color of the
fabric Is changed sponge it with chloro-
form and the color will be restored.
Ink stains-Tear blotting paper in
pieces and hold the rough edge on the
ink when it is freshly spilled or cover
the spot with Indian meal, or the liquid
ink may be absorbed by cotton batting.
If ink be spilled on car
pet, cut lemon in two, remove a part
of the rind and rub the lemon on the
stain. If the ink-staned article be
washed Immediately in several waters
and then in milk, letting 1t soak in the
milk for several hours, the stain will
disappear. Washing the article imme-
diately in vinegar and water and then
in soap and water Is another remedy
which will remove all ordinary ink
stains. No matter what substance be
used to remove ink the stain must be
rubbed well. If the article stained be a
carpet on the floor use brush.
Grass stains-Rub the article stained
with alchohol, then wash in clean water

There seems to be no good reason,
writes II. H." in the Evening Post,
why woman should go without the
comfort of bedroom closets, even If the
architect has forgotten them, provided
he has left some good-sized corners
In such corner screw or nail two
strips OF wood, from four to six inches
wide, and an inch or more thick and as
long as you wish. Fasten about six
feet from the floor, so that the boards
meet in the angle of the wall Across
the top, fit a triangular shelf, made
from one or several boards, and cover it
with muslin, so that no dust can sift
through into the closet. To the front
of the shelf fasten little brackets, like
those used for sash curtains and into
them fit brass rod of the right length.
Across the front of the closet have
PRETTY cutain of cretonne, or some
other cotton stuff, running the brass
rod through wide hem or casing at the
top. On the sides of the wall within
the three-cornered space thus enclosed,
fasten cleats with as many rows of
hooks as you choose. The top of the
shelf may be used for bric-a-brac. If
one wishes to go to greater expense,
the front of the closet may be enclosed
with boards, and q door, on the inside
of wich there may be extra nails, or
shoe-bags fastened. The outside when
painted to match the room, may be the
background for a picture or mirror, if
securely hung.

Rice cakes are good. A half cup of
milk to cup of boiled rice, two eggs,
salt to taste and a teaspoonful of sugar,
all mixed well and fried like batter

a little thicker than pancake batter.

Another plan is to wet tea-leaves with q
little warm water, put into the decanters
well shake till the decanters are clean,
rinse in clear water, and drain,
Yet another way is to cut raw potato
into small square pieces, and put into the
decanters with little water; well shake

When boiling cabbage put a piece OF
bread into the water to prevent the un-

To clean sewing machines-Cover all the
bearings with kerosene oil, work the ma
chine quickly for a few minutes, then
thoroughly rub all the oil off with rags,
and apply machine oil to the parts which

To remove rust from fat-irons-Pour
some kerosene oil on to a plate or dish,
and stand the flat-irons in 1t for twenty
four hours, rub them with rag and polish
with very finely powdered bath-brlck.
To remove fruit stains from llnen-Well
moisten the stains with Kerosene oil, rub
thoroughly, cover the moist spots with
carbonate of soda, and leave in the sun

A pretty idea has recently originated
with a bright. young hostess. on a
strip of white satin ribbon, which
hangs from tiny brass rod in her
guest chamber, she has written the
hours for the meals in her house, the
hour for arrival and departure of the
principal mails, and on the back of 1t
there is pasted q perpetual calendar.
1t is hotel-like, to be sure; but isn't 1t
also convenient?

POINTS FOR VOTERS.

The duty on tin plate was cut so per
cent; workmen's wages % and 30 per
cent. The only question left for working
men to decide In making up their minds
how to vote is whether they think pro-
lection wages are higher than they de-
serve to get.
Wages in the woods averaged about 1928
month and board last winter. This
winter they will be about the same. Two
years ago and prior to that time they
were $33 q month and board. There Is
no need to make polticel speeches to the
lumbermen this fall.
The net increase for the national debt
for the last year was $50, ,0000 000 When
the Republicans were In control they de-
creased the debt on an average of S6S, ,000, =
900 per year, besides paying the running
expenses OF the general government
That's the difference
The American Economist has returns
from 800 extensive employers of labor,
who state that in the first six months OF
20800 fewer worlSmen than In the same
period in 1892, and that the corresponding
reduction In payments for wages was
over $S,OOO0O0.
Two years ago the workingman was
greatly wrought up because he was made
to believe he was paying or 3 cents too
much for his dinner pail. For the last
year and half he has not been concerned
about the cost OF his pail; his time has
been fully occupied In trying to find some-
thing to put in it.-New York Advertiser.

Excellent croquettes are made from
oysters so good, in fact, that one need
not hesitate to use them now and then,
instead of the always to be expected
croquette made from chicken. Take a
pint of the solid meats and put them
over the fire with enough OF their liquor
to cover When they begin to simmer
drain them dry and cut into good sized
dice. Heat bit of butter the size of an
English walnut until it bubbles; add a
tablespoonful of -four, and when well
mixed a half cupful of rich milk, and a
half cupful of oyster liquor. Season to
taste with salt, cayenne pepper, a graf
ing of nutmeg, and If you like it, onion
Juice. Take from the fire. add the
oysters and cool Then mould, coat
with egg and very fine dry bread
crumbs, and try in boiling deep fat, as
you do other oroquettes. Serve with a
white cream sauce seasoned with chop
ped parsley and celery salt.

The State of South Carolina now has
an official brewery in which supplies of beer
tor the dispensaries throughout the State
will be maunfa ctured. The plant Of Sthe
Palmetto Bsewing Company Of Charleston
will hereafter be run By the State.
~ At the meeting Of the state board Of control
Governor Tillman offered the following
resolutions, ,ha. were prepared BY him, which
were adopted,
''Resolved that the couLty@board of control
of Charleston be authorized to establish a
dispensary a, or near the Palmetto Brewery,
aud th2. the said dispensary, in addition TO
selling liquors, shall be distributing depot for
all beer sold in Charleston, other than export
beer.
'sResolved second, That said dispenser may
under rules adopted by the county board, and
approved by the State board, use the wagons
and employees of the brewing company in
handling the beer made by said Palmetto
Brewing Company in the city and shipping
the same to all poinissoutside the city to other
dispensers, when ordered by the State commits

This saves the brewery company from ceas-
ing their operations, as they would have been
obliged to do according to the new dispensary
law. 4 great zeal or req tape Watter WIS
