How to Clean Wall Paper.

The easiest method Of cleaning the
dusty and somewhat blackened surface
is to arm ones self with broom. over
which is pinned some cotton flannel,
which must DO changed frequently, as
tho flannel will soon be in such a'condi-
tion that to continue its use would smear
the walls with dust and SCOT Go over
the ceiling first with long, even, firm
strokes. then do the walls in the same
way.
Another way to clean the paper is to
have on hand several loaves Of stale
bread and use instead of the broom and
cloth. Cut off the crust from the long
end of the loaf and rub the paper with
it, cutting of Il thin slice as soon US the
crumbs become soiled This is a tedious
method, but it is effective.
10 remove grease spot, lay coarse
brown paper over it and pass hot iron
over the brown paper. Repeat this proc
ess, using fresh piece of paper until
the spot disappears

The Marquis do Castellane's article,
Fifteen Days In the United States, {"
occupies "a pages of The Revue do
Paris. Here is an extract:
"T.is concentration of the American
brain on two idcds-tho wish to be FREQ
and the seeking of a fortune by work
has not failed to impress upon the race
certain physical characteristics Without
being Of exceptional beauty, the race is
vigorous. One feels that it is young.
The women are neither painted nor
covered with rice powder. nor are they
annmic. All, or almost all, of them
have superb compilations. They are
tall, and very few appear in i'll health.
But in vain one seeks upon their faces
the expression of their sensations or SEN
timents. Certainly, and perhaps hap
PLY for them, they have not been iuiti-
ated into the refinement Of sensibility,
into artistic enthusiasms. Their souls
too, have only gravitated since their
childhood around the two ideas that
have animated their fathers and which
will animate their husbands-the pas
sion Of independence and the passion Of
work. The characteristics Of American
beauty are pride and curiosity, as those
of the French beauty are grace and sub
mission.

Miss Nightingale, Advice.

The Young Woman publishes the fol-
lowing autograph message to the girls
of Great Britain from Miss Nightingale
My message to girls would be: ~
Train yourselves to your work, to your
life. The last 25 or 80 years have recog-
nized beyond everything this necessity
of training. (2) Have higher object
than the mere undertaking in all you
undertake. When we fail or are disap-
pointed, we lose heart and perhaps
strike work. But if we have recognized
ourselves as Il will not say only n
wheel or tool in the hands of that AL
mighty highest and truest and best, we
hayo that blessing of being part Of the
whole, and whatever our own failures
are never cast down. (3) AS one of the
best women workers of our day says,
The talk now is Of rights, not right
Let that not be our case. am myself
always IL prisoner from illness and over
work, but all the more wish you god
speed -

English Woman surrarists.

Tho English woman suffragists have

Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

A great deal has boon written and said
lately about the notorious Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, who is called by some enthu-
siasts the only actress we have, and by
most people one of the most fascinating
artists upon the English stage. For in
stance, people declare that Mrs Camp
bell delights in admiration and in noto-
rlety, loves being lionized and is never
so happy as when surrounded by crowd
and set i'll the midst of hedge Of star
ing round eyes. The exact contrary is
the fact Mrs. Campbell loves privacy
and retirement aud is one Of those who
will do anything for quiet life-when
she is off tire stage.
She can seldom be persuaded to go to
parties and simply abhors being follow
ed about, gazed Mt and commented OH.
Indeed her dislike of this sort of vulgar
lty is so great that if she is among the
audience at theater she often waits in
her seat after tho play is over until ev-
cry one has departed and then slips out
unobservcd. She is very domestic and
loves her home and her children.
Then she is an accomplished musician
