artistic framework for the entrance to

The portieres should be draped over a

cloth duSter. A grease spot on SILK
furniture is removed with equal parts
OF ether and chforoform; on woolen
upholstery use turpentine. Cane-seat-
ed chairs require vigorous scrubblng
with soapsuds in which drop little
ammonia; scrub both sides of the
seat, rinse and dry in the air.
Among the many LIQUID and cream
polishes given by excellent authorities
here are a few that are simple and
effectual, but remember the rubbing
is the main ingredient df every recipe

same of alcohol and zone part OF tur-

wine in a warm place and shake the
bottle well every twenty -four hours
until the gums are no more distinct;
strain through a woolen cloth and rub

Equal parts of linseed oil spirits of

well-tried polish. but for mahogany this
same authority declares in favor of a
mixture of one pint of linseed Ill, two
ounces of alkanet root and pinch OF

the egg. rub over the leather mixture

of vinegar; boil together and polish the
leather with the useful piece of old

Fortunately for artistic furnishing,
marble topped tables are growing, less
in number, but if the owner of one you
can remove stains and discolorations
by applying the following: Boil togeth-
er quarter of pound each of soft soap,
powdered whitening and soda for twen-
ty minutes; spread on the marble for
twelve hours, and then wash off with
clean water. For the ordinary washing
of marble use ammonia and water in
place of soapsuds. To polish black
marble, wash it in cold soapsuds, dry
with an old cloth and then rub for at
least an hour with flannel spread with
white wax. To remove iron stains from
white marble, try lemon juice.
If any oil stain disfigures the surface
apply to it common clay satura ted with
benZine. Another stain remover is
made of two parts of common soda and
of powdered pumice stone, and one of
powdered chalk: sift through thin mus

ten hours wash it off with warm soap

How to Make a Rope Grille

In moving into a new house one is
often obliged to use considerable inse-
nuity TO bring about satisfactory re-
suits at slight cost. as one problem after
another comes up for consideration.
Here is one which recently confronted
a housekeeper The only available re-
ceDtion room or parlor was a square
room between the library and dining
room. connected with these by wide
sliding doors, one of the remaining two
sides being occupied to almost its full
width by latticed window, and the
fourth, or what should have been the
fourth. in reality did not exist; but in
stead was a wide, gaping space, from
end TO end. and from floor to ceiling.
thereby throwing the room practically
into the hall
The space was too high and wide to
be filled altogether by portiereS. Upon
inquiry il was found that to buy grille
to fill the space and provide two pairs
of portieres for the extreme width be-
side being quite expensive, would not
altogether satisfy the requirements cf
the case. therefore. carpenter was
called in and measurements taken for
a plain pine frame 10 feet 3A inches, the
exact length Of the space, the width of
the frame to be f65s inches. reaching to
the jut in the wall, evidently built with
this in view. Two more frames were
then planned Z feet six inches long, also
1855 inches wide, these being intended to
stand perpendicuiariy, screwed to the
floor and to the frame across the top,
thereby leaving a space only Z feet 6
inches to be filled with one pair of por
there's. Before the frames are put up,
however, the real work on them must
be done.
Remembering a very artistic rope
grille. hanging at the entrance of a
friends studio. our inventor started out
on individual lines. using for the pur-
pose a soft clothes rope, which is more
like lamp wick than anything else, pill
able and quite easy to tie, costing about
q cent a yard and coming in lengths of
% yards
The amount required depends upon
the number of knots tied and the near
ness of the lines TO each other Three
lengths were allowed for this grille
The ends of the rope should be tackled
to the framework by double tacks hold
ing them firmly in place, three lines of
rope being stretched tightly across the

crossing these and at each joining tied
with a knot. are short vertical lines
ending in knots and fringedout tassels

they overlap the perpendicular frames.
being cut off across the middle where
the portieres hang. Down the side
frames much the same plan should be
carried out, the latticed effect however,
being used to form dado reaching up
about 21a feet from the floor.
This being done. plain molding
nailed over the ropes all about the edge
of the frames gives neat finish.

pished the army:
General Eagan has referred to Gen.
eral Miles the published article pur.
porting to be- an interview with General
Miles in regard to the military supplies,
asking whether the statements attrib-
uted to him General Miles, were made
by him, or any of them, or which of
them, or to what extent the statements
are correct. General Eagan does not
propose to discuss this very serious mat
ter in the public press, but has asked,
first, if General Miles avows or dis
avows this interview, and has also asked
the investigating commission for true
copy of the statements (that were not
sworn toy made by General Miles
before it. General Eagan has also
asked the investigating commission to
be called before it for the purpose of
rebutting and refuting the statements
alleged to have been made by General
Miles and published in the press; to an
swer these or any statements made by
General Miles, under oath, and espec-
tally and particularly to meet the al
legged charge of furnishing anything
whatever, under pretense of expert
ment. General Eagan is of the opin-
ion that the proper place to discuss the
merits of this matter is before the in
vestigating commission. and before the
courts, civil and military, where the
widest latitude will be given to all
concerned; where the conduct of Gen
eral Miles and the conduct of General
Eagan, under oath, may have the full
est, most exhaustive examination and
analysis, concerning any or all charges
that may be brought by either, to the
end that justice shall be done. In view
of this already inaugurated action, Gen
eral Eagan deems it unmilitary and i'm
proper to make charges against anybody
whatever in the service, but thinks the
law, military and civil, is ample to be
invoked in the cause of truth and JUS
tice. General Eagan contents himself
with a complete denial of the statements
alleged by General Miles,"
