following little hints are carried out:
Battle them every night in warm water,
washing them well with carbolic toilet
soap and loofah and using a brush to

bathing and add to the water a teaspoon
full of liquid ammonia or toilet vinegar.
Do this again after coming in from

them soak in the water for about ten
Minutes: then dry them and powder them.

Not hers the New Times lofty lot

Not hers To stand in temples bright,

She only knows the lamps to light
And keep tie home fires burning.
Not hers to move with iron will

The sweetest name forever!

decrease in the value of exports to the

England and Germany to Protect
Against q. 8. Trade Encroachment.

New York, May 24.-General Man
ager Gustav H. Schwab, of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company in
America, who has been in Europe for
the last two and a half months, and
who returned home on the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse, in an in terVleW upon
business conditions in Europe, said:
while in Europe, especially in Ger
many and England, I saw that the
business men there were much dis
turbed over the increasing competition
from this side and seemed to fear the
increase in power of Industrial cOmb1-
nations. The alarm is so great that I
an certain that some scheme of self
protection on the part of the govern
ments affected will undoubtedly be per-
fected
.Of course there are great difficulties
to be met in forming an industrial and
commercial combination against the
United States, but there is every rea-
son to believe that earnest efforts
efforts that may have serious conse-
quences to the trade of this country,
will be made.
Il hear similar talk in Germany,
which resulted in my becoming firmly
convinced that commercial and indus
trial peace between this country and
the European nations imperatively calls
for certain concessions on our part;
concessions that / believe we can make
without affecting to any degree our
own industries. Unless we do make
some kind of a. concession Europe will,
as sure as fate, put some kind of re-
straining duty on American produc-
tions.''
Referring to the reported steamship
combinations effected by ]. Pierpont
Morgan, Mr.. Schwab said:
THE British public is giving it a
lot of concern, but to the average
steamship man who understands the
situation it does not seem to be nearly
so dangerous as some people think AS
an American. speaking as the agent of
a German transatlantic line. 1 do not
think the reported amalgamation will
affect the continental lines. Germany
will certainly keep abreast of the times
in the matter of ships whether of great
cargo capacity or of speed
