FOR AN ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Route Without Mountain Obstruction
DiscOvered by q Prospector

MI H. NJ. Grill Of Pontiac, Mich, who
claims to have been engaged for ten years
in prosecuting and locating mines and
timber lands in Colombia, writes to the De-
partment of State that he has discovered
place several miles in length where
there Is no mountain, range or backbone
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
which he thinks would be more desirable
IN every way for the location Of an in
teroceanic canal than any route on the
isthmus yet surveyed. He expresses the
opinion that at some remote age there was
natural waterway between the two
oceans by this route and saws that the
existence Of this comparatively level con-
nection between the two oceans Is worthy
OF the attention and serious consideration
of the United States government In con-
nection with the project for an isthmian
canal. The letter has been referred to
the isthmian canal commission for its in
formation.

OLD WASHINGTON MANSION.
Project on Foot to Have "Harewood" Preserved
 to the People of the United States.

"Harewood,' one of the old Wash ington estates, situated few miles west of Charlestown, West Virginia, will probably be preserved to the peo- pIe of the United States, as is now Mount Vernon. With this pro- feet in view, Edwin Fairfax Naulty and George Steptoe Washington, of
 Philadelphia, representing the Wash
 ington Manor Association, have been spending some days here looking over
 the field and interviewing John Au- gustine Washington, the present own CT of "Harewood'
 "Harewood, the most notable and oldest of the Washington mansions, is of stone, and was built about l756-5S, by Gen. Washington for his brother Samuel, and has become of special his toric interest because it was here that Gen. Washington entertained Lafay- cite, Louis Phillipe, and his brothers, Due de MontpenSier and Count Beau iolais, and where Dorothy Payne Todd became Dolly Madison, who afderward reigned eight years as mistress of the of the White House.
 The old mansion is 100 by 30 feet. Although it is the oldest of the Wash ingtOn houses, it IS the best preserved. Heavy wooden panels cover the inte- rior walls, and the clumsy iron hooks of l5O years ago mark the places where great paintings and tapestries have hung. The great drawing-rooms are filled with precious relics of Reyolu- tiOnary days, paintings of illustrious members and friends of the family, and other notableS of that enchanting period.
 The famous mantle, one of the pair brought from France by Lafayette, and presented to Gen. Washington, its companion piece being one of the show re lies at Mount Vernon, is of dark marble and in perfect preservation. There are also chests and bric-a-brac, exquisite old blue china, presents from France, and other European cOun- tries sent over century or more ago. Washington Post.

Cleaning Woolen Fabrics.

Fom the Womans Home Companion.
 To clean dust or grime from light cloths, first brush thoroughly, then rub with cornmeal, using d piece of light cloth for the rubbing. By this simple process 1 have known cream tan broadclOth coats and skirts, so much worn now, entirely freshened and cleaned.
 GreaSe-spots must be removed by solvents or absOrbents. If the spots be fresh, and the color of the fabric will not be changed by heat, the easi- est method of removal is to place white plotting paper above and under the spot, and then to stand an iron on it-nOt hot enough to color the paper. Another effective measure is to cover the spot with pulverized French chalk dry, with the same chalk or fuller's earth moistened in benzine, to remain twenty-four hours, and then be renew ed if necessary, always brushing it oif, however, with soft brush.
