pole where it will be convenient for
the hawk to alight, he will be very
quickly caught. The trap should be
secured by rope or. chain, so that the
hawk cannot fly off with the trap. In
this way the worst enemy of the poul-

disposed of.

/ TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING!

THE following is copy Of circular
Il letter which is being sent out by one
Of the largest mercantile establishments
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire:
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained by merchants,
through fires, in that part Of the country
tributary to the st. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to US the advisability of ad-
dressing our customers upon the I'M
PORTANCE of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks four of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was totally inad-
euuate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, 1t
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make SECOND mistake OF this KIND, Dut
the commonest feature of the FIRST, IS
the wiping out of the results OF years OF
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
i'm position whereby they have to face
the world in a condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within few minutes, with no other lega-
cy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets
for " hat might have been prevented by
a little foresight! To the wide awake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insur-
ed is just as legitimate and necessary as
that OF paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of fail
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
years, but we are just as certain to be
brought face to face with it, sooner or
later, as we stay in business; therefore,
we say to you, if you are not now in
sured, attend to it before the sun
goes down!
With kindly assurances of regard for
our mutual interests, we are,
Very sincerely. your friends, -

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

TO remove mildew from white cloth
stir one ounce of chloride of lime in a
quart of cold water. After it has set
tied two or three hours pour the clear
liquid off into a bottle, and it will be
ready for use. Dip the mildewed spots
in the liquid and let it dry. If one ap-
plication does not remove the stain,
repeat the process. Rinse thoroughly
in clear water.
To clean grease from wool or silk
apply fluid made by dissolving two
ounces of white soap and half ounce
of borax in a quart of warm soft wa
ter. Pour a small quantity into a
bowl, add the same amount of water
and sponge the goods with it. After
it is clean sponge with clear water and
hang it up to dry.
Paint may be removed by washing
the spots in turpentine. If the cloth
is too heavy to be washed, put two
parts ammonia and one part turpen-
tine in a bottle and shake we'll. Apply
it until the paint is softened and it can
be scraped off.
Lace should never be rubbed hard,
for this will break the delicate threads
and destroy its beauty. Fill large
mouthed bottle half full of water in
which a little borax has been dis
solved. Dip the lace in water, and
after rubbing soap on it, put it
in the bottle and set it on the back
of the stove or some other place where
it will keep warm. Allow it to soak
10 or 12 hours, shake it for few min
utes and pour it into basin. Dip it
up and down in the water, then
squeeze it out (do not wiring itO and
rinse through two waters, adding a
little boiled starched to the second.
Press it while it is wet upon clean
marble slab to dry, placing each seal
lop straight and smooth. The borax
cleanses the fabric without rotting or
ipjuring it in any way.
If you are 80 unfortunate as to spill
ink on the carpet, take up as much as
you can with a sponge. Of course,
this is done before it has time 10 dry.
Wash the place with cloth dipped in
clear water.

quoted of many women. The saying
is often unjust, and the woman is often
justified; but now and then the cap
fits perfectly.
Not long ago a fast express was
bowling over the sands of Arizona.
Just how it happened was frequently
explained and never understood but
as the train sped along the side of a
parched river it suddenly left the rails,
rolled down the bank and landed in

Within the cars there was some nat
ural confusion. Men, women and lunch
boxes were thrown into heap, and
not an umbrella nor parcel was left in
the racks.
One by one the occupants of the car
extricated themselves from the mass,
and sought for means of escape, while

WOOD ASHES For STRA wBERRIEs.
There are conflicting reports on the
value of wood ashes as a strawberry
fertilizer. This is because the soil un.
der test may be acid, alkali, or neutral.
Prof. Wheeler has shown that the
strawberry is partial to neutral soils.
Many soils are naturally sour or acid,
and in spite of all we can do, straw
berries will not succeed on them till
the acidity is neutralized by the appli-
cation of wood ashes. In cases where
soil is naturally neutral, dressing
of ashes might make it alkali ; hence
poor results would follow. Applied to
an alkali soil, ashes would but make
bad matters worse-for Strawberries.
Hence the diverse experience of straw
berry growers-American Gardening.

NOT WASTED On HER.-This hap
pened to the wife of a we'll known
merchant who is rather conspicuous
for his devotion to the church. His
spouse, dressing one Sunday morning,
got into a waist that more than put
Joseph's coat in the shade. She was
conscious of the color scheme; but de-
cided to ask her husbands and her
fathers opinions before wearing the
garment to church. They agreed,
poor men, that she was delightfully."-
dressed and that the waist could hard
ly be improved upon.
So they went to church, the wife
with secret misgivings, which as the
case turned out, were we'll enough
founded, for they were no sooner seat
ed in Grace Episcopal church than the

the woman shifting, made out that the
man had been eating onions. Still
more than that, she had the strongest
kind of suspicion that he had been
drinking beer. The woman fused and
wriggled and grew angrier, and looked
at the man scornfully. Presently she
could endure it no longer. She looked

PATRONIZED A-BUREAU
A Phos nix na n'S Late b Brfef. Ex.
 citing Matrimonial Experience.

There is prominent gentleman in Phoenix who is just recovering from his experience with a Chicago matri- monial exchange. In his present frame
 of mind if he wants another wife he will go upon the open market and save the commission to the Chicago bank CTS. There are other advantages in ones taking the initiative and gener- ally experimenting his own matrjmon-
 ial affairs A
 The victim of this union saw an ad- vertisement several weeks ago of a woman of good looks and a steady in- come. He was attracted by the style Of the 'ad' and entered upon a cOrreS- pondenee. which ultimately brought him bride and a great deal of trouble The bride came to Phoenix about two weeks ago and the trouble followed close upon her heels. The woman was fairly young and moderately good looking. The marriage took place with the pTecipitateness common to these artificial love affairs. It was well that no time was lost in courtship, for so much was needed for repentance. It became pretty clear after twenty four hours of welded life that a sep aratlOn would occur within the next twenty-fOur hours. The husband had taken to himself a wife sight un- seen," but so many sights were seen by him in less than week that ground work for a divorce was laid The wo- man remained at an apartment hotel until week ago, when she left the city. The husband has since been in- vcstigating her record, more out Of curiosity than with the hope that he will derive any material benefit from the investigation. The time for that has passed. He has arrived at the con clusion- that his is an epluribus union of this wOman's husbands and that she is the only stock in trade Of that particular Chicago matrimonial con- cprn
