How to Clean Carpets and Rugs and Poll
ish Furniture

HOW TO Clean C8rpebs ana mugs auu GoA-
ish Furniture.
Bits of soft, wet paper or damp bran
strewn over carpet are the best dust
collectors when sweeping, and one of
the first things to remember is always
to sweep carpet with the pile, not
against it, and have small pointed
broom to ferret out the dust hidden in
the cracks and corners. After sweeping
a room a long handled broom covered
with cotton flannel bag should be used
upon the ceiling and walls, using a
downward stroke upon the latter After
the sweeping freshen the carpet by wip-
ing with a cloth wrung from ammonia
and water in proportion of two table,
spoonfuls of household ammonia to four
quarts of water. Rugs must be shaken
first and then spread face down and
beaten with rattan, then turned and
brushed. or, If one has no place to
spread them, then hang over line
wrong side out and beat
There is an art in the manner of win
dow washing. Dust the windows thor
oughly before washing them with a
wooden cloth and tepid water, and the
best polisher for window glass is soft or
crumpled newspapers, and use wooden
skewer to get into the corners.
Pure white CASTLE soap should be used
for the washing of paints, marks and
stains being erased by the aid Of very
fine pumiee stone.
A compound for cleaning floors, tiles,
furniture and many things is composed
of ounces of soap and pound OF bees
wax. Cut fine and put in quarts Of
water, put over the fire and frequently
stir until it is all dissolved Then add
2 ounces of sal soda and take from the
fire at once. Stir constantly until
the mixture is COOL This may be kept
in covered jar and used when needed.

Elkins on Wages.

wages must go down, says Senator
Elkins in recent interview published
in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wage
earners," continued the senator, "do
not wish to see it or believe it. but it
is SO. And again he said, wages in
America stand against any revival Of
business.
He was discussing the coal trade He
said, ''We do not export coal to Europe
because we have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the coal
trade. F"
Being asked whether black labor was
settled in the mines of West Virginia.
he said:
Firmly. It is as effective as white
labor and does not combine and con-
spire, and the negro spends all he
makes, while the Italians and Poles
send every cent out of the country.
The senator has just as decided ideas
on the tariff question He is firmly con-
yinced that protective duties, especially
those on coal, should go up. Tariff up,
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is happening
under the Dingley bill 1t is all done
in the interest of labor.

which she finds admirable for the pur-
pose of riding. Mounted astride on
heavy vaquero's saddle, her invention
drapes itself as smoothly as a pair of
riding trousers and falls even lower
than when she is on her feet. She is
proud of the fact that she successfully
rode neighbours horse that hnd nearly
killed half dozen men, that She saved
the lives of a lot of lambs by swim

and that she rode down chalk bluff so

AND MAKES HER OWN CLOTHES.

Queen Stella Never Bothers over FASH

Artistically and Is a Great Fayorite In
New York Society.
copyright, 1897, by the Author]
A queen who never wears a bonnet
and makes her own clothes is indeed
rara avis But there is such woman,
and she is at present living in New
York.
just imagine the peace of mind which
comes from entire oblivion of the Eas-
ter hat or the reception toque. Just pic
ture the restful state of the woman who
has never puzzled out fashion plate
or harbored wrath against dressmaker.
Yet this heavenly calm is the unvary-
ing normal condition of Queen Stella of
the Gonzalez tribe Of gitane, or Span
ish gypsies. On the coldest day Of win
ter or the hottest of summer her head
covering is never other than red
square of silk or fine wool. This is ar
ranged well back on the top of the head
and falls in graceful folds over the
shoulders about half way to the waist.
The same drapery is always worn in the
house, SO that the queens preparations
for the drive Or the promenade are ex-
ceedingly simple. In winter she puts
on pair of gloves and throws about
her large circular. In summer she
dons a light cape The heavy wrap may
be of black or a rich Persian goods of
palm leaf design, with a little upper
cape of silk velours in dull red.
Queen Stella prefers to make her own
gowns because she can never get dress
maker to do just as she wishes The
dresses are, besides, invariably of one
cut and very simple of construction.
The skirt is guiltless Of gcros, hair
cloth, fiber chamois or crinoline and is
made of some soft material, unlincd,
gathered to a band and falling within
about two inches of the ground. With
this is worn low cut, sleeveless under
waist, over which comes a bolcro jacket
and front of loosely gathered silk.
Sometimes the sleeves of the jacket are
of soft silk CT Grape, but often they are
of black lace, which shows The bare,
rounded arm beEeath. They reach to
the elbow, are made full and gathered
into band.
If the costumes are simple of cut, they
are often of the richest materials and
most elaborate and sunptuous i'll garni-

The rew snear Scandal.


Is the country to be afflicted with a

sugar Chicago Evening Post
(Ind. Rep.
The senate CONN., ittee's hill, whether
