doned all attempts to justify his at
taeks on the president and his extra

refused to allow the candidates on any
ticket except the Popuist ticket to be
placed on the county ballot. This will mean

the judge may be, We will give him credit
for deciding according 20 the law he

cabinet, while the day of receiving for
senators wives is Thursday, between
the hours Of three and six in the after
noon. These receptions begin after the
first of January, and continue to be
held until Lent begins. Some ladies
observe the day for receiving all the
time congress is in session. The Gus
tomary preparations for holding an
afternoon reception are to station one
riage doors and call carriages, and an
other at the hall door to admit callers
and take cards. The hostess receives
the visitors standing near the door of
the entrance, and is dressed in high
necked gown, which may otherwise be
as elaborate as taste may dictate. Wis
itors may be announced by name to the
hostess by an usher, or may speak their
names themselves.
ANY person is at liberty to make the
visits at the homes of senators, and all
persons are cordially received. Those
leaving cards expect their visits to be
returned; resident and nonresident
sightseers, who call without introduce
ton of any sort, do not leave cards. A
large proportion of the official folk owe
first calls to the ladies Of the senate,
the ladies of the cabinet, the wives of
foreign ministers and the wives of the
members of the house OF congress.
These are termed duty calls, and must
be returned in person. a woman whose
husband is in the upper house can be
quite as exclusive as any lady of private
position, if she SO desire. The women
of the cabinet could not close their
houses to the public, however much
they might wish to do so.''

WAYS TO WASH PAINT.
Reliable BIts OF Information which
VIII He Read with Interest BY
Many H0usekeepers.

1t is often question with housewives
how to remove dirt from painted wood
work and leave the paint. A plateful
of the best whiting is great aid in this
work; but where it is not at hand a good
substitute for it will be found In the
white part of coal.ashes. Provide a
plate with some of the white ashes,
and have ready some clean. warm water
and piece of flannel, which dip into
the water and squeeze nearly dry;
then take up as much of the ashes as
will adhere to it, apply it to the paint
ed surface, when little rubbing will
instantly remove any dirt or grease,
after which wash the part well with
clean water, rubbing it dry with a
chamois or clean soft rag. Paint
thus cleaned looks as fresh as when
first laid on, without any injury what
ever to the most delicate colors. 1t will
not cut the paint nor prove the least in
furious to the hands.

rope. Finally, about 1921, the last one
positively seen was captured. and to-
day its stuffed body is in the British
museum, but for 80 years at least not n
single great aux has been taken, and in
consequence the few remaining eggs of
these birds have, year by year, become
more and more precious.
Seventy-five years since, a great auk's
egg at auction would fetch about 500,
and the heads of museums became very
eager to secure good specimens, but as
only about 20 eggs remained in all Eu-
rope their price began TO go steadily up.
In the year 1850, or thereabouts, an Eng
lishman, great student of natural his
tory, and the possessor of quite an
elaborate private museum, bought some
birds eggs of fisherman's wife on the
French coast. Among the seamew and
gull eggs he secured was one fine, peck
led shell, easily recognized as that of a
great aux. He paid only dollar for the
perfect specimen, took it to London,
and in course of time it was sold for
sos. Four years ago the same egg
was put up at auction in London, and a
wealthy gentleman did not hesitate 10
pay $1,000 for the perfect shell.
A damaged egg at auction brought
$915, while an aux 5 skin is worth 81 500.
IN all only 72 skins of this bird remain,
nine skeletons and few loose bones.
The Museum of Natural History IN New
York city possesses handsome stuffed
skin, but only two Of the valuable eggs
are owned in America.
So great, however. is the interest in
aux eggs that the museums have plaster
casts of them, made with the greatest
care from the finest egg in Europe. ex-
hibited in the museum of Liverpool.
This shell is not only spotted. but
prettily streaked in brown on its
creamy surface, and its value is esti-
mated as high us $1,000.
In Leipsic, in Geneva, London and
Paris, great aux eggs are kept in mu-
seums, and one of the eggs that has
come to America is owned in Philadel-
phia. So great. indeed, is the interest
felt by students of natural history in
this big sea bird that has become ex-
tinct in our century, that books have
been filled with its history. When Nan
sen set out on his polar expedition q
sharp lookout was kept for the great
aux, since there are persons who be.

exist somewhere up in the Arctic circle

eggs, worth so many times their weight |
