HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Grease may be removed from wooden
goods by sponging it with strong cold
coffee.
Wear old loose kid gloves when IRON
ing, as they will save many callous
spots on ones hands.
Fine laces may be cleaned by being
packed in wheat flour and allowed to
remain twenty-four hours.
1t Is well to keep a small paint brush
convenient for busting the crevices in
furniture, and all spots that cannot be
reached with the dust cloth.
Apply powdered alum to a fever sore.
This will prevent 1t from becoming
very unsightly or noticeable.
1t is good plan to burn pine tar oc-
casionally in a sick room, as it is an ex-
cellent disinfectant, and it also induces
sleep.
If shirt bosom or any other article
has been scorched in ironing lay 1t
where the bright sunshine will fall di-
rectly upon it.
When anything has been spilled on
the stove, or milk has boiled over and
a suffocating smoke arises, sprinkle the
spot with salt and 1t will quickly dis
appear.
The teeth should be brushed up and
down, rather than across from one
tooth to another as the particles to be
removed are generally between the
teeth. Remember also that the insides
and tops of the teeth need brushing as
much as the outside.
The abolition or rather the moder-
alton of heavy winter fiannels is part
OF the new doctrines of hygiene. Many
doctors now advise a graduation Of fan
mel underwear if they advise it at all,
and point out that it is much better to
increase the outdoor wear as occasion
requires than to keep the body incased
on warm, muggy winter days as well
as on sharply-cold ones in the same
weight of flannel

NEW YORK, Sept. l3.-The international

crossed the line behind the English boat,

yesterdays occurrence was all the more

were such as to lead many to suppose that

phatically-that he would withdraw his

He claimed that during the previous
race his boat had been greatly interfered
with, and as everything depended upon
the outcome of the third race he adhered
to that decision so closely that the Val
kyrie merely crossed the starting line and
then retired from the contest. The De-
fender, who was well in advance when the
handicap gun was fired, continued on her
journey and went over the course well
within the time limit.
BY her three straight victories the De-

Ex-Mayor Hopkins of Chicago Arrives In

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Ex-Mayor John
p Hopkins of Chicago, who arrived by the
Paris, went abroad four months ago, and
has visited England, Scotland, Wales,
France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland
and Italy. The special object of his trip,
however, was to secure treatment for a
throat trouble of long standing and he
spent considerable time at Soden, which
is ten miles from Frankfurth- on the Main,
Schmidt and Professor Thilemous. Pro-
fessor Schmidt was the one who refused
to give certificate that the Crown Prince
Frederick was not afflicted with cancer.
No prince can succeed to the throne Of
Prussia who has an iucurable disease, so
1t Is said, and on that occasion Sir Morell
Mackenzie granted him q certificate. For
thirty-eight days, while he was under
treatment, Mr.. Hopkins never once spoke.
He Is now apparently much better.
Mr. Hopkins positively declined to speak
about any political subject. He said he
had studied municipal government a good
deal while abroad, but he did not intend
10 say anything hDouO Ills ODScrVaUlOnS
until he got home. Regarding the re-
marks attributed to Eugene V. Debs of
the A. r. u, all that Mr.. Hopkins would
say was that he had some doubt as to
whether Debs had been correctly reported.
According to the newspaper reports, Debs
had accused the ex-mayor of having en-
couraged the union to strike year ago.
Mr.. Hopkins thought that the Chicago
papers were abusing Mayor Swift to an
unjustifable extent. "They Away abuse
a mayor as soon as he takes Office" he
