Another Combine.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Evening
Post says: A movement is in prog
ress for consolidation OF the in
terests of the leading American
manufacturers of gas and electric
light fixtures. The value OF The
total annual output OF these fixtures
in the United States is about 50,
900, 900. There are practically
neither imports nor exports OF these
fixtures, but IL the projected com
bination is effected it is not i'm
probable that new markets will bt
sought and an export business es
tablished. The interests OF about
Is manufacturing concerns are to bt
united, representing about 80 pei
cent OF the total yearly output in

OF these firms and companies with
out reckoning in the value OF their
good will, patterns, etc., are es'
timated at over IS, 600, 900.

For HOusekeepers.

Here is a recipe which should be
cut out and pasted on one corner OF
the kitchen mirror, where it can be
seen, for it will save many dollars
worth of time and strength. Shave
five cakes Of good hard soap into
just enough boiling water to dis
solve them nicely. Stir constantly
until the soap is dissolved, then add
two tablespoons powdered borax,
and a scant teacup kerosene. Stir
it well, then pour it into q covered
stone jar, and use it whenever any
thing very dirty, either, cloth, tin
ware, woodwork or iron utensils, is
to be cleaned. Apply little on the
outside of your teakettle when it is
very hot, using a flannel cloth for
the purpose, and see how quickly
you can clean it, and how bright it
will be. Use little, also, when
cleaning your windows, and you will
never again regard that task as
something to be put off as long as
possible. For cleaning sinks, wash
basins and slop jars there is nothing
that can equal it, and by its use the
dish towels can be kept nice and
white without rubbing. Put them
n
into pan of cold water, add enough
OF the compound to form a good
suds, and let them come slowly to a
boil. Let them boil until they are
sufficiently clean, then rinse them
and hang them out. Such work will
almost do itself, while one is attend
ing to other duties, and the task OF
keeping clean is thus robbed of more
than half it's terrors. Elk.

Company Being Organized.

A dispatch from Milwaukee says
that after period of enforced idle
ness of more than five years, the
Iron River mine at Stambaugh,
Mich, is to be placed in operation
next spring. A company is now be-
ing organized for the purpose and
there is little doubt the property
will be worked to its full capacity.
The Florence Iron River Mining
company operated it until that com
pany went into receivership. The
superior court entered an order
directing the sale of the Michigan
property Jan. 18th. The real estate
of the Florence Iron River Mining
company in Michigan and the prop
erty at Florence, Wis, including
the Florence mine, were ordered
sold on February 18th.

slaughter cost Europe the colossal
sum of So, $40, 100000. Each victim
