CLEANING WALL PAPER.
Some Authentic Information Which
May De of Value to Housekeep-
ers just at Present.

There are several ways by which wall
paper can be cleaned SO that it looks
almost as good as new. The knowledge
may be of use to housekeepers.
One way Us the old one, but as it is
satisfactory, we give it with the rest:
Take loaf of bread, stale, but not too
hard, and cut off one crust; then TAX
ing it in one hand, rub the paper
gently with the exposed surface. When
the bread looks soiled, cut off very
thin slice and proceed with the work.
1t is best to rub up and down on the
paper, and clean each piece thoroughly
before leaving it.
Another way is to take loaf of bread
and after removing the crust, soak it in
cloudy household ammonia. 1t must be
SO wet that one can work it in the hands
into ball. Rub the paper lightly with
it, and as the ball becomes soiled on the
outside, knead it until clear surface is
exposed. This will remove the dirt and
smoke and freshens up the paper Won
derfully.
Another plan is to make soft dough
ofcoarse brown -four mixed with water
1t should be stiff enough to handle
easily. The paper can be rubbed with
it as in the former method. When there
are grease spots on the paper lay
coarse brown paper over and pass hot
iron over it. Fresh paper may be
needed several times if the spot is
large.
When there are spots from which the
color has been removed, they can be
made to look as good as new by the use
of water-color paints. The design
should be traced first and the filling
then put in with the paints.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer

THE JOLLY AMER.
Abdurrahmnn, of Afghanistan, Is
One of the Most Original of
Living Rulers.

The most intei esting ruler in the
world at present is, probably, Abdur-
rahman of Afghanistan.
A fine old-crusted autocrat is Abdur-
rahman, capable of waking up his doc
tor to ask him if it would hurt him to
eat q peppermint lozenge, and also
shutting up q thief in an iron cage to
starve to death.
Once beggar in Kabdul asked aims
of the khan.
"Did you ever work for living?'
asked the ruler.
"Never, o khan" the man replied;
81 am beggar."
"Then," said Abdurrahman, eve can
do without you," and forthwith direct
ed that the beggar should be hanged.
He is, however, susceptible to flattery
and can sometimes be cajoled.
A man whom he had sentenced to
| have his ears cut off for some indiscre-
ton happened to be friend of his chief
secretary, who averted the mutilation
by offering to perform the task himself,
provided it might be done in the
aEleer's presence.
To this he assented, whereupon the
secretary explained that he had never
executed this form of punishment be-
fore, and would his highness show how
much was to be removed.
The ameer passed his hands over both
ears of the trembling wretch.
whereupon the secretary reminded him
of passage in the Koran showing that
anything touched by the representative
Of the Almighty became sacred. So the
ears were saved.
Afghanistan is anything but back
ward, us Asiatic countries go. There
is a modern factory in Kabul run by
steam and employing $500 workmen,
which turns out daily 10000 Martini
Henry cartridges and 10000 Snider
cartridges. finished and complete; 20
Martini-IIenry and 20 Snider rifles; 50,=
COO coins; two field guns, varying from

Only no one there knows how to wrap

THE TELEPHONE.

ject matter prevented the impression
that it was a supern%; ural demonstra-

explanation of the phenomenon. The

serve a logical accompaniment of the

WALLPAPER DRAPERY.
Vallnnces and Lambrequins for VIM
dOws and Doors Can BE Made
of Remnants.

A novel and decorative use for the
surplus paper remaining after the walls
are finished is making vallances and
lumbrequins for the windows and doors
of room. A recently completed suite
of rooms shows examples of this idea
in styles appropriate to the decorative
features of each apartment; no poles
are used, and the continued line ofwall
pattern across the window and door
openings is singularly appropriate and
effective.
The practical part of the work is SIM
pie enough The wall paper is pasted
10 cheesecloth or sheeting, and cut out
to the desired shape, the trimming be-
ing fluting or ruching of the same stuff,
