To Take Grease Spots Out of Paper.

Sometimes it happens that you get
grease spot on letter or the page of Il
valuable book and you are at once
filed with sense of the hopelessness
of ever removing the ugly and irritat-
ing blemish. Here is n remedy for the
evil that has been tried with success
Heat an iron and hold it as near as
possible to the est&in without discol1ring
the paper. when the grease or wax
will disappear. Upon any traces that
are left put on powdered calcined mag
nesia for time. Bone, well calcined
and powdered, is an excellent absorb
ent of grease: also plaster of paris.
For extracting spots of a resinous ma
ture use cologne, turpentine or benZine.
A beautiful bound book and quite new
had oil from a lamp spilled over it.
The culprit called for quicklime. but
there was none to be had, so he got
some bones, which he quickly calcined
and pulverized and applied. The next
morning there was no trace of oil, but
only an odor, which soon vanished.

washable Shirt Waists.

Midsummer demands that n generous
supply of washable shirt waists be
kept on hand, and the simple styles
now in vogue are easily made at
home with the use of a reliable pat
tern. The material represented In the
drawing on the left of the large pict-
ure is red and white Scotch madras,
simply machine stitched and closed In
front with pearl buttons. The back
dts smoothly across the shoulders, and
may be made with or without applied
yoke. the fulness at the waist being
adjusted by tapes run through cas-
ing. The fronts have attractive full
ness laid in five small backward turn
ing pleats at the neck.
The regulation shirt waist sleeves
nave openings finished with under and
over laps, and the wrists are COM
pleted with straight link cuffs. The
mode Is desirable for all wash fabrics
In plain. dotted. striped or figured
designs.
To make this shirt waist will require
In the medium size three and three
quarter yards of material twenty-one
inches wide. or two and u half yards
thirty-slx inches wide.
Ribbon and lace insertion united ~
machine stitching is the dainty fabric
illustrated In the other drawing. The
front and sleeves are cut en- bias
and strip of the insertion Is applied
over the pleat In front. which renders
the closing invisible.
The waist Is arranged over fitted lin
ings of silk or lawn which match tn

The Child's Room.

A mother is fortunate If she can
empty the room which she is to re-
furnish, for the results are infinitely
more satisfactory to begin at the be-
ginning. If she is to have new paper
she must study the location of the
room. For a north room a warm color
rose, yellow, or even crimson-while
If the room face the south she may
choose a floral pattern on a white
ground, or some pretty shade of plain
color-cream, pale green, or pink. Blue
is seldom successful. 1t is distinctly
cold color. and in winter, or on gray
day, makes the room gloomy. A boy
usually prefers simpler paper as less
"fussy" than one that has n pattern,
while a girls heart is delighted with
something that is at once gay and ar
tistic. such as American Beauty roses,
or poppies on white ground.
The ventilation of the room should
be perfect. and the child trained to
sleep in air that Is quite cold. The
curtains which adorn the windows,
therefore. should not hinder the free
current. but should be of the lightest
kind. Muslin. stout enough to launder
well, are the most satisfactory.

Even slender purses can afford the
luxury of few flowers for the table

restful, so gratefully inspiriting when
one is tagged hot or tired by general
weather conditions. A Towering plant

heavy odors should be chosen. 1t is

Followed the Ernigrant..

Apples were unknown in California
previous to the Eastern emigration to
the coast, IN 1S49. In that year and
the following years until the railroads
were built the thousands that went
overland made large provision fol
sustenance on the way. Bales of hay
and whole oats were carried along for
the cattle and mules, and from the
Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean
there sprang up grasses that We're
strange to that country, and to this
day the old trails are marked with
timothy and oats that grow wild and
are Observation-Disclosures Star.

There is a mistaken notion abroad
that the operations of the Beers have

statement contains scarcely scintilla
of truth. A few European officers and
one American Colonel Blake) are here.
They may be men of ability for all
l know, and competent to give the
Beers excellent advice. Other foreign
officers would volunteer if they could
get commissions in the republican

apply it? The Beers will not obey

During one Of the outpost skirmishes
between the Englishmen and the Beers
one of the latter had his horse shot
under him, says correspondent OF
the Washington Post.
Seeing British cavalry horse with
out rider. he captured it, and was
riding away. when a bugler caught
sight of him, and, putting his bugle
to his lips, blew shrill blast.
The horse wheeled sharply around.
and, despite the strenuous efforts of
his rider, galloped madly back to the
British lines, while the Boer unwilling
to lose his prize, held on too long and
was taken prisoner.

DEEP IN THE WOODS

Deep in the heart of the silent woods,
Stilled to the stiffness of thought.
Under the calm of the tranquil skies
Life's best lesson is taught.
What is the foolish strife Of man!
What is his striving worth?
When the purest rapture of living IS
found
In the beauty and peace of earth?
Sweet is the balm of the restful woods,
Truthful the teaching, and wise;
Joy lives ont in the open world,
Under the open skies.

Find aIwcys the surest birth,
And it's far from the town that the soul
must seek
The beauty and peace of earth.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
A Preparation for Cleaning Cutlery.

For cleaning cutlery use ashes made
from pine wood and sift through fine
sieve; rub gently with soft wooden
cloth and use CASTLE soap; rinse In
warm water and dry with soft linen
cloth. For fine cutlery that Is not
used often this preparation has been
found to be good: Take piece Of
leaf fat from the pork; render and
strain through flannel cloth; use no
salt, as it will rust; will keep best in
glass jar. Put small portion of this
on Il flannel cloth about six inches
square; rub the blades and wrap care

dcred the prisoner to stand up. He
then said. "Mr. Prisoner, it is the SEN

Turning to the constable, the squire
said: "Take this prisoner outside and
