Bits OF Domestic Lore That Are VAL
uable During the Clean
ing Period.

Raw linseed oil and spirits of turpen.
tine, in the proportions of two-thirds
oil, and one of turpentine, make the
model furniture reviver., The wood
work should be first carefully wiped
off with a dry, soft cloth and the dust
thoroughly removed from corners and
carvings. The best article to accom-
pish this is large paint brush, usual
ly called painters duster. The oil
may then be applied with smaller
brush, wiping off with soft cloth and
rubbing thoroughly dry.
For carpets just previous to their
storage, there is nothing better to keep
cut moths than to sweep them with
salt-just of the ordinary common
dry salt.s Particles Of salt remain in
the carpet. and these keep out the
moths
A canton flannel bag, made up with
the downy side out, is very good to slip
over the broom when dusting walls
and woodwork. The bag is convenient
also for busting hardwood floors. For
this purpose dampen it slightly and
the floor may be kept clean long time
without washing.
Clean mirrors with warm soapsuds
and rinse with warm water and am
monia; then rub them over with whit
ing tied in a piece Of muslin and polish
with chamois skin.
Pals and tubs may be kept from
warping by painting them with gly-
cerin.
To clean linoleum without washing,
remove all the dust, then take bit of
flannel sprinkled with parafin and rub
the linoleum. 1t will not only make
il appear like new, but will preserve it.

And when the repairs have been

occasion the articles ON the top Of the
pile. In this way none Of the clothing
will be allowed to remain in the drawer
until it becomes yellow from lack of

on all suits. One of our objects is to
dress well and at the same time to
avoid great accumulations- of garments
too good to be thrown away and not
good enough for comfortable use, yet
endured for economy's sake.
Never fall. into the mistake of sup
posing that it is of no Importance that

PUSS SAILED AWAY.

If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that "a,cat
brings good luck" the voyage of the
British steamship Thalia will be a
pleasant one, says the Savannah News.
A fine, large Maltese cat went aboard
the vessel the day before she sailed
and composedly curled herself up on
the heavily upholstered crimson sofa
in the officers saloon, and when the
vessel sailed she was a contented pas
senger.
"She is an old traveller said the
steward, as he stroked her soft fur,
"and this is not her first voyage. Cats
like a change, and they viii visit one
vessel and then another ia port un-
til they find one that suits them; and
they are knowing animals, and seem
TO have some intuition when a vessel
is going TO sail.
do think a cat brings luck? OH
yes. It's good luck TO have a cat come

Many people who are constantly try
ing to coneoct new and tempting dishes
overstep the mark. People who eat
large quantities of the various pre-
served foods are not always the
strongest. The old-fashioned meal of
roasted or boiled beef served up with
its own juices, with two plain vege-
tables and a pudding, was far more
wholesome than the eight-eourse din
ner which is served nowadays. Few
people know the true flavor ofpotatoes
or rice. In this country seasoning too
often means salt and pepper only. Peo-
pie in the eastern countries, especially
the Turks, make most delightful stews
and soups by using a combination of
vegetables, cooking them slowly
enough to draw out the flavor. Ex-
tracts and sauces prepared chemically.
and mustard and horseradish may be
taken now and then, perhaps to advan-
tage; but as a rule things of this kind
should be avoided or used kparingly.

Universal Suffrage in Hawaii.

With this introduction ] beg 10 draw
your serious attention to the marked pas
sogee in the inclosed letter from Honolulu
to the Washington Star, written, be-
live. bv a native of Savannah and for
fifty years a resident there.
1t seems that the result OF the recent
initial election in Hawaii has been
through the bestowal OF universal suf-
frage to place it's affairs in just such
plight IS befell the black belt of North
Carolina in 1896, or to go further back
in history the entire South in 1876; and
the writer of said letter may well shlver
with apprehension of the time coming
when. as he saws, Officials chosen by
the great rabble of irresponsible natives
shall exercise the power of levying taxes
L
eating the outlook, and deploring the
presence upon the floor OF Congress of IN
incapable and puerile delegate like Will
cox. he dares to hope that he may be
continual object lesson to declare the
FOLLY 'of committing, sby unlimited sur
fraee. the weighty concerns of this terri
tory to the decisions OF the childish and
| incompetent mass Of the native Hawaiians
instead of to a somewhat selected body
of voters chosen from among them, and
the superior white race" He does not by
any means exclude the intelligent native
| vote as will be noticed, any more than
J the Old North State would exclude its in
| telligent negro vote. For Hawaii, he adj
mits has long conducted its legislation
| with good success under a system of very
restricted suffrage"
Finally. he dares to hope that similar
| mistakes will not be made in respect to
! the Philippines and the other acquired
possessions, 1.-THE great majority of whose
| populations are in depressed condition,
| mentally and morally, and among whom
| there has been no experience of repre-
| sentative government" And he senten-
| tiously adds this paraphrase When
| representative institutions are sought to
| be established there, unless the suffrage
| is rigidly restricted to such persons as
have verified their manhood by practical
success in life these institutions will be

with the philosophy of Booker T. Wash

| efforts we all delight so much to honor,
as we'll as of your humble servant, the
