Pranf Positive.

Two men were standing outside jewel
ers' window admiring the gorgeous display
OF glittering gems that lay before them.
Presently one of them, pointing to an object
in red plush tray, said:
"Just look at that scarfpin, representing
a fly. Anyone can tell that's not real"
well, ] should think So" answered the
friend "Who ever saw a common fly with
such bright appearance? Why, it makes
me weary when ! think that the jeweler
who produced that fondly hoped that some
one would purchase it to deceive his friends.
If saw that on a mans scarf could tell
directly that it was an enameled imitation"
At that moment the object of their con-
demnation moved across the tray, flew in
the air, and vanished. The two men looked
at each other, gasped, and moved away
without a word. Pearson Weekly.

SUGGESTIONS for Spring Cleaning.

Much of the labor of house cleaning may
be avoided by the exercise of good judg.
ment and management. Pleasant weather
must be selected for the work, usually the
first Of May is the best time to begin. Every
thing should be in readiness before hand:
Brooms, brushes, tacks and strings should
be provided. The windows and paints can
re perfectly cleaned by washing with warm
water and Ivory Soap; the free use of lime
and borax will purify and deodorize the
premises.

Ii Is now more than probable that the
new cruiser for the great lakes, for
which congress appropriated S260,0OO,
will be built. Sir Julian Pauncefote
has intimatcd to Secretary Hay that
Great Britain will consent to amend or
snnul the Rush-Bagot convention in
such way as to permit the building of
armed ships Of modern types.
This agreement was made at the re-
quest of the United States in 1917 be-
tween the British minister, Charles
Bagot and Richard Rush, acting sec
rotary of state. 1t provided that the
naval force of each nation should be
limited on Lake Ontario to one ship and
on the upper lakes to two ships not eN-
ceeding 100 tons and armed with one
gun not eXceedingin size an lS-pounder.
The agreement has been violated by
both nations by mutual consent, and
the old steamer Michigan, now nomi-
nally guarding the upper lakes for this
country, has displacement of 1865 tons
and carries six siN-pound rapid-fre and
two one-pound rapid-firc rifles and two
gatlings. Sir Julian's agreement to
modify the antiquatcd convention will
permit the navy department to build
modern ship, which before long will
be cruising around Chicago.
