They Are One of the Most Convenient

Hardly any implement of the house

keeper as the right brush in the right
place. Who has not lost patience when
the stove brush of hair was out of place?
This takes up all the dust of ashes as
carefully as cloth, and does not, like
q cloth, allow the ashes to be driven
into the hand. A whisk of broomcorn
does not do the same work, but is more
valuable for whisl1iDg out the corners
and edges of carpeted rooms and sweep
ing down the stairs than anything else.
Long-handled brushes of hair are far
better than broom for sweeping a
hardwood or painted floor. When these
have light handle, into which an ex-
tension handle may be fitted, they are
valuable for sweeping down ceilings.
II ceilings are thus carefully brushed
once month, the moth-miller will find
no lodging-place in the house. With
the proper brush this is an easy task.
The best brush for blinds is that quaint
shaped one of hair called the "pope's
nose" The knot of bristles on the end
is Just the proper shape to reach into
the shutters. The miniature scrubbing
brushes, which are generally sold at
about five cents on bargain counters,
nre invaluable to clean crater, the
sieve and any utensil or dish with rough
or corrugated sides. They are Of spe-
cial value to the cook in washing pota-
toes and other root vegetables, and in
cleaning the rough stalks of celery.
Such small brush is also valuable for
washing window ledges.-N. Y. Trib-

MADRID, May 3.-The scenes wit
messed here today are without parallel.
The streets are patrolled by cavalry
and infantry with drawn swords and
loaded rifles. The city is under mar
tial law, and the government is exert
ing every means to prevent a rebel
lion. Smothered condemnation of the
government is heard on every hand,
but the rioters are not so outspoken
as they were yesterday. The entire
reserve has been called into service.
and every known means is applied to
quell the excitement. Nothing but
the iron will of those in authority will
prevent an attempt to overthrow the
government.
Sagasta seems equal to the occasion
and declares the government will be
maintained and the war against Am
erica will continue as long as there is
Spaniard left to fight. The queen
regent is also firm and urges the
people to be true to the crown and
continue the war against the United
States.

odore Dewey's victory over the Span
ish feet at Manila Saturday night
The Spanish fleet was totally ami
hilated, while the American fleet es-
capped with very little damage and a
light loss of life.
The report caused great rejoicing in
the departments here, as it is proof of
the supremacy of the modern naval
vessels over the antiquated boats of
the Spanish navy. When the Span
iards saw that they were overpowered
they began burning and sinking their
own vessels rather than be captured.
The victory of Dewey removes all
danger of an attack upon any of the
Pacific coast ports, as Dewey's feet is
sufficient to drive any ships that may
be sent to the Pacific ocean off the sea.
