 When coffee is spilled on white table cloth the cloth should be at once put in cold water and after soaking for a little time, the stains should be gently rubbed. If they are very bad it is sometimes necessary to try something else and a mixture should be made of the well-beaten yollt of an egg, two or three drops of sherry and a little rain water Dip the stained parts into this, then rub, and rinse well in clean, cold water

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Most girls are hero worshipers till they meet one.
 Probably the most unhappy girl in the world is the one whose teeth ache every time she eats candy
 A girl always comes away from Q house party with either . terrible quar- rel or an idea for new waist.
 Any man will admit that he can't make bread, but no woman will admit that she can't understand politics.
 X mother would sometimes do better if she spent less time teaching her daughter when she ought to be lad. and more time teaching her when she ought to be woman.
 When a man sees his wife really angry he says it is foolish to lose her temper like that; when he gets the same way himself he says there is q point where patience ceases to be a virtue ". '. Press.

DIPPING CATTLE.
Stations May Re Established at NJ. Louis
 and Kansas City.

and ksnsas City.
 WAsHINGToH. Feb. l9. Congressman Dinsmore. of Arkansas, has had sev- eral interviews with Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson in the past few days in regard to the establishment of dipping stations for Arkansas cattle Some weeks ago Secretary Wilson decided that if the Arkansas cattle were prop erly dipped there would be no neces- sitv for the quarantine regulations which have heretofore prevailed. Since that time the members of the Arkansas delegation have been solie. itous that the dipping stations be es- tablished with as little delay as possj- ble It was first proposed to establish them on the railroads running from Arkansas into Missouri at the points where the roads enter Missouri terri- tory. Secretary Wilson has now con cluded that probably it would be best for all interests to have the dipping stations established at St. Louis and at Kansas City. If this is done. the Arkansas cattle will be shipped to St. Louis and to Kansas City under the same strict regulations that those cat tie shipped for immediate slaughter are now allowed to enter the NJ. Louis and Kansas City markets.

Yet that is just what is being done At the pretty village of Hoy Lake, suburb of Liver pool, there are golf links that are fla nous as being the oldest and among the best in England, the game being brought there by the Scotch, who have settled in large numbers in the locality. For a number of years golf sticks and other paraphernalia of the game made at Hoy Lake have been exported to the United States. Quite recently, however, golf sticks made in the United States have been sent to England. and their arrival has aroused great deal of comment Within few weeks one Englishman resident in America has succeeded in disposing of 5000 golf sticks made in the United States to the largest dealers. not only in England, but in Scot tland as we'll
