eome Things That VIII Be Handy for the
Housewife to Know.
Tumblers that have been used for
milk should never be put into hot water
until they have first been rinsed in cold
water. The heat drives the milk in and
gives cloudy appearance to the glass
which cannot be removed.
An easy way to remove spots of paint
from glass is to make a strong solution
of soda in hot water and wash the glass
with flannel dipped in this.
Mildew may be removed from cloth
by rubbing the place discolored with
soft soap and then covering it with
chalk and putting it in strong sunlight.
Clothing that has become spotted and
whose color has been destroyed by acids
may have the color restored by applying
ammonia and afterward chloroform.
A dressing table covered with crepe
paper is a great addition to summer
cottages, making the chambers look
dainty and attractive. One may be
easily made at home. Get a carpenter
to make plain pine tables in kidney
shape, half circles or oblong, sufficient
ly large for all the appointments of the
toilet, and cover the top with cotton
flannel or something equally thick.
Tack piece of cloth around the edge
deep enough TO come down half way to
tho floor. Sew to this founce of the
crepe paper that will reach the floor.
Cover the cotton flannel with the paper
edge of the table, allowing little head
ing to stand up and having it deep
enough to overlap the lower hounce.
The frame Of the looking glass may be
covered with the paper, and both table
and glass require liberal number of
bows made of the paper and placed
at every corner.
Now is the time to prepare your pot
pourri for the coming winter, for roses
are at their best. II is not necessary to
confine yourself to rose petals alone.
Leaves of the rose geranium, mig
nonette, violet and lemon verbena may
be added to the rose petals with the lay
ers of fine salt and few fragrant
spices.
A violet perfume may be made easily
by putting half an ounce of arrowroot.
broken into small pieces, in a bottle
with two ounces of alcohol. Cork tight
and shake well. After it has been stand

DOORS" repeated Bumps after his wife,
as he rose from the breakfast table;
mot while 1 have my health, strength
end activity. In these times it behooves
a man to watch the pennies. Where are
the doors ?"
"In the barn, dear, but don't under
take it. I've read of so many family
quarrels growing out Of the husband
trying to put up stovepipes, hanging
curtains and whitewashing cellars.
Please don't"
But Bumps is a resolute man, and
only laughed good naturally as he came
out of his coat and proceeded to get the
doors and the tools to the front veran-
Ga. Mrs. Bumps went about in fear and
trembling that filled the little ones with
wild-eyed apprehension, keeping them
well in the background. When the
neighbors saw what was going on they
looked at each other with smiling ex-
pectancy and used their bay windows
like opera boxes from which to view the
entertainment.
Bumps was a fat man and the day
was sweltering, but when one of the
doors was stood in place he went up the
stepladder like squirrel, whistling
"Daisy Dean" for he is "a busy mortal
and has really neglected his music in
later years. This only whetted the
pleasureable anticipations of the audi
ence, while Mrs. Bumps and the little
Rumpses felt like taking to the cyclone
cellar. Bumps never missed a note as
he drove home the first screw. Perspi-
ration poured down his face, and there
were times of extra exertion when most
men would have twisted their faces to
help out on more muscle; but he was
true to "Daisy Dean" through it all.
BY the time the first door was ready to
swing the school children had stopped
to see the job and the neighbors were
getting anxious. Bumps went right
ON blowing forth.that harmony of sweet
sounds and working the screwdriver.
He finished as merrily as he had begun,
gathered up the tools and went whist
ling to the barn. The neighboring
wives looked reprovingly at their hus-
bands, and before Bumps could get his
coat again the dearest pair of arms in
the world to him were thrown about
his neck, while he received not one, but
a whole volley of lkisses.-Detroit Free

Gold Ring in q Turtle Shell.

The assistant agent at the Adams Ex-
press office in Washington, o., while as
sisting in placing a salt sea turtle
weighing $50 pounds in the fish pond at
the Washington cemetery lately found
an old-fashioned gold ring, with bril-
liant set just under the shell of the
creature. It had evidently become
lodged under the shell while the turtle
was in the sea, and no doubt was the
property of some unfortunate traveller
Some think it would be profitable to
dissect the turtle for other valuable
iewels.-Ch Chicago Chronicle.

standing with gaze fixed upon an OBJ

The poor animal. when trooper was

that he could be dragged away from

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 1.-Two hundred
and thirty Cuban refugees have arrived
here. Marcos Garcia, mayor of Santos
Espiritu, a prominent autonomist and
personal friend of Campos, has now
gone with the insurgents. Since
Campos' departure numbers have
f1ocked to the insurgents banner.
Maceo went into Pinar del Rio with
1900 men, but To- has $4,000. He is
reported at CUNTS, where he has es-
tablished a new city government.
The commander in charge of Atares
castle, near Havana, was taken pris-
oner on Monday and sent to MORO
castle. He is suspected of selling arms
and cartridges to the insurgents. Maceo
is not wounded nor is Gomez suffering
with consumption.
The insurgents continue the work of
ravaging the province of Santa Clara,
and the destruction there is wide
spread. Numberless families are left
homeless and are asking homes in char.
ity and seeking aims. Fort Martinez
was also attacked and the garrison
made a truly heroic defense until night,
when the insurgents retreated with
considerable loss.
