How to Sweep u Room.
Good Housekeeping.

Every housekecper should have a
regular sweeping day once week, as
a room thoroughly swept thus often
Will need no more attention than Il
brushing up" and busting on other
days; and il the Nom is not in general
use busting will be all that is neccs-
sary.
To get room ready for sweeping
takes time. There should be a variety
Of brushes and cloths-a paint brush
for removing the dust that lodges in
carving, which cannot he reached by
a dust cloth, sitter brush for the
holdings, cOarser than carvings.
Now, if properly arrayed" for the
occasion,-a dress of some material
that will wash, a dust cap that COM
pletely covers the head, and hands en-
cased in gloves-all small, movable
articles, ornaments, bric-a-brac, ETC.,
should be busted and removed from
the room; rugs taken into the yard,
well shaken and beaten with a smooth
stick and left there until wanted !;
curtains rolled as high as possible, and
windows opened an inch or two. If
there are draperies at the window, they
should be shaken, and either folded
away, or carefully covered. Furniture
that is too heavy to be set out of the
room should be busted and covered
with a sheet. All upholstered pieces
need sweeping with a whisp broom.
Begin at the furthest corner and
sweep continuously toward the door,
taking short strokes. After brushing
a few strokes, sweeping a square yard
of space one way of the carpet, sweep,
it over in the opposite way. When
the entire carpet has been swept in
this way, gather the dirt into the dust
pan and burn it. Do not let the pan
stand with the dust in it after the
sweeping is done; burn Immediately,
since, if left to stand, it will blow
slowly, imperceptibly, but surely, into
clean room and cause double trouble.
If the carpet is extra dusty, some coarse
Indian meal mixed with warm water,
just enough to slightly moisten,
scattered over small place at time
and swept off lightly will take the
dust with it, and brighten the colors
in the carpet. Salt may be sprinkled
on any carpet without harming it, but
tea leaves, Indian meal or anything
wet, should be applied only to dark
carpets.
After the room has been swept two
or three times, thoroughly aired (the
windows having been thrown wide
open as soon as through sweeping),
walls brushed with a white canton
flannel bag, slipped over the end of the
broom, carpet carefully gone over with
sweeper and the woodwork wiped with
a. damp cloth, wipe the surface of
the carpet with cloth wet in warm
water, to which has been drops of
ammonia. By doing this the sweep
ing will last twice as long: The cloth
should never be so wet that the water
will drop from it, as this would cause
dampness.

RUSSIA SHOWS HER HAND.
Germany and Turkey Forced Out of the
Game by the Bear.

Game by the Bear.
Constantinople, May 19.-There was a
sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation shortly before noon
Tuesday. Russia quietly showed her
hand and thereby forced Germany and
Turkey out of the game to all intents
and purposes. Monday night and early
Tuesday morning Turkey supported by
Germany, was practically defying Rus
sia, France, Austria, Great Britain and
Italy, insisting upon the annexation Of
Thessaly in addition to huge war in
demnity, and seemingly was determined
to march upon Athens. The ministers
received official advices from Sofia
Tuesday announcing that orders had
been issued for the partial mobilization
of the Bulgarian army possibly, at the
instigation of Russia. There was hur-
ried consultation of the ministers. The
war party was for further defiance. but
in the end pacific counsels seemed to
have prevailed, for at 80 a. m, orders
were telegraphed to Edhem Pasha, the
Turkish commander-in-chief in Thes-
sally, to cease hostilities.
The peace negotiations will now be
undertaken in real earnest. and the
Greeks will most likely be spared any
further humiliation.

Commit His Grimes.

Milwaukee, May 19.-The body of WILL
lam Pautz, hitherto known as William
Pouch, the Waukesha murderer, was
found in millpond near Prospect, Wau-
kesha county, two and one-half miles
from the scene of his crime, Monday
morning. There was a bullethole in his
head. 1t is believed that Immediately
after he committed the crime on the
Harris farm, he proceeded to the pond
and ended his own life.
The Milwaukee police have made
known what they have learned about
the murder since they began their in
vestigation ten days ago. They are con-
vinced that Pautz did not try to Kill the
family for robbery, as at first was sup
posed, but that disappointment in love
drove him to the crime. 1t is believed
that he was in love with Helen Vesbach,
one of his victims and that when he
learned that he could not win her hand
