Presbyterian general assembly re-
suned work this morning the commit
tee on bills and overtures reported
upon the request that steps be taken

the proceedings of the assembly. The

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, May 23.-In-
vcstigation of the situation in the
flooded counties of Minnesota and
North Dakota bordering on the Red
river shows that conditions are very
unfavorabl for the wheat crop. Large
areas are under water, and farm work
has been SO delayed or prevented that
no more than 60 per cent of the usual
acreage will bear wheat. As an in
stance OF the condition of affairs one
can go in a rowboat over the open

HOUSEKEEPING TACTICS.
How to Meet the Annual Trial with Com
parative Ease.

How to Meet the Annual Trial with Conn
parative Ease.
While the systematic housekeeper is
renovating the sleeping-rooms, she
should dispose of the winter garments.
Furs, wraps and gowns which are not
to be worn until next fall should first
be thoroughly cleaned and then care
fully packed. To pack away any arti-
Gle OF attire without first making it
fresh is a crime which should bar the
person committing it from the society
of good housewives
Furs may be satisfactorily renovated
at home. Short-haired skins, such as
seal and ermine, should be rubbed
against the grain with soft flannel I'M
til all the hair is reversed. Spots should
then be rubbed lightly with flour and
the flour finally removed by vigorous
shaking. Long-haired furs may be
cleaned by securing them with hot
bran. After this has been done roll the
garments in paper, tie up in linen cases
with pepper and camphor bags, and
conSign them to chests.
The spring housekeeping period is
not only the time when winter clothes
should be laid away, but it is also the
accepted season for plumbing. The
services of the plumber are likely to be
more necessary than those of any other
person in the spring renovation of the
bathroom. A beautifully enameled
tub is small compensation for sewer
gas. Consequently before any mere
superficial details are attended to an ex-
pert opinion concerning such homely
things as drains and pipes should be OBJ
tanned.
The bathtub will be less trouble to
keep clean if it is painted with enamel
paint. This may be purchased already
mixed, and the least skillful woman
will be able to apply it satisfactorily.
The tub should, of course, be perfectly
dry until after the last coat of paint
has been applied. The wall of the
bathroom back of the tub and wash
bowl, if they are not tiled or marble,
should be ''papered" with linoleum in
tile patterns. This will permit unlim-
tied spashing of water without damage.
The floor may be well covered with this
material.
If the bathroom has not been
equipped with wire soap and sponge
trays, shelves for bottles, hooks fol-
clothes, racks for fowls, and the like,
there is no time like the days of the
spring housekeeping in which to re-
pair the omission.
Before descending to the lower part
of the house, the mistress should dis
cover if her mattresses need removal
| ing. If she uses feather ones she should
destroy them, for in the opinion of ply
sicians they are positively pestiferous
| Hair mattresses, if they are hard an6
dirty, may be freshened by ripping the
| ticking, removing the hair, washing the
| ticking, picking the hair and putting il
| in dry, airy place for several days
When the ticking is dry it should bt
filled lightly with the hair and tackled
| together again.
| If painting is done in the bedrooms
pals of fresh water should stand abou1
uncovered. This will prevent attack.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The managers of
the projected Southern States Cotton
exposition yesterday decided to post
pone the exhibition indefinitely. This
step was taken because of the failure
of the southern management to enlist
any considerable number of states
in hearty cooperation in the en-
terprise- The entire sum necessary
to carry on the exposition was sub
scribed In Chicago, awaiting call.
The southern committee was finally
asked to give definite assurance,
by May 25, that the exhibits would
be forthcoming, and when they were
unable to do so there was no alterna-
tive left the Chicago committee but an
indefinite postponement, pending such
time as the southern management
could be placed under the direct con-
troll of the representative manufactur-
ers, planters and substantial business

Stews made from beef, mutton, game
and dark-feshed birds are usually
cooked with a brown sauce. The
French method of making brown stew
is superior to all others, because the
result is more savory, digestible and
nutritious than any other. The pre-
liminary browning accomplishes a
three-fold result, which is altogether
wanting in the English form of stew.

CONQUERING A BRONCO.
How 1t Can Be Done, According to Vera.
ciOus Citizens,

How 1t Can Be Done, According to Vera
cious Citizens.
1t is related of a prominent citizen
of Arizona that he once met a promi-
nent citizen of Montana on the neutral
ground of Colorado. The subject of
bucking horses coming up, the promi-
nent citizen of Arizona said:
1--WE have some very skillful riders
down in my country. This, of course,
shows out particularly when they are
breaking wild broncoes to ride. When
an Infatuated mustang, saddled for the
first time, and rearing and bucking
with all the terrific energy of his
savage nature, looks up out of the tail
of his eye and watches his rider calm
ly roll and light a cigarette, it has an
excellent effect on him, and usually he
cools down, realizing the hopelessness
of his task
Then spoke the prominent citizen of
Montana:
THAT will do very well, I dare say,
for the comparatively mild and inoffen-
sive horses of our southern latitude,
but it has been found to have no infiu-
ence whatever on our fierce and vicious
beasts. But when one of our cowboys
mounts a bronco for the first time it
helps greatly to subdue the creature
when, after he has leaped and pitched
for Is minutes, he happens to glance
back and finds his rider quietly shaw
ing, holding a small mirror in one hand
and the razor in the other, with the
mug, hot water and bay rum in a little
basket on his arm. All, it's all in know
ing how, this subjugating Montana

And have passed from under the roof

And vanished into the shade.
