KITCHEN HELPS.

To clean a greasy sink little paraffin
oil, rubbed on with piece of flannel,
will save great deal Of trouble.
Ordinary tea marks on china may be
readily dissolved by scrubbing with a
soft brush dipped in salt water and
vinegar.
If new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated in
the oven before it is used, it will never
rust afterward, no matter how much it
is put in water.
A good way to clean zinc utensils is
to dip piece of cotton in kerosene and
rub the articles with it until the dirt is
removed Dry afterward with a clean
cloth so as to get rid Of all grease.
For stained tinware boraX produces
the best results. II the teapot or cOf-
feepot is discolored on the inside, boil
it in a strong solution of borax for a
short time, and all it's brightness will
return.
Pans and kettles partly filed with
water should not be placed on the
range to soak, as it only makes them
harder to clean. They should be flied
with cold water and be kept away
from the heat.

Qualifications of Iron.

Add carbon to pure iron. and it be-
comes steel. Add hydrocarbon to
iron, and steel itself becomes so ex-
tensively modified that it's properties
are not recognizable. Thus steel may
be soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in
varying quantity, and it has the quail
ty of residence, as in the watch spring,
or the quality of tenacity, as in the
knife or razor, or may be given nearly
all the hardness of a diamond, as in a
file. With steel at low temperature,
from 400 to $50 degrees F., edge tools
are produced and color in the yellow
shades; from 500 to $50 degrees various
sorts of springs are produced, color
blue, while by heating iron to white
ness and plunging it into water, which
is mainly composed of hydrogen, files
are produced or forms even harder.

CHILDREN OF LONG AGO.
The Etiquette They Were Taught In
the Eighteenth Century.

The Etiquette They Were Taught In
the Eighteenth Century.
The polite academy does not con-
fine itself to purely ethical considera-
tons. The minutest directions are
given as to polite behavior under all
sorts Of circumstances:
''Take salt with a saltspoon or else
with a clean knife, not with that you
are eating with, for that will foul the
rest.
do not laugh at table, much less
sneeZe, cough or yawn; but if you cam
not avoid it hold up the napkin or ia
blecloth before your face and turn
aside from the table.
"When you drink, bow to some one
Of the company and say sir or madam.
"Never regard what another has on
his plate. 1t looks as if you wanted it.
eff you have occasion to laugh, turn
from the company.
always look pleased, but not merry
unless there is occasion"
Now as to the department of a. young
master:
'Let your feet be placed at small
distance from one another, not too close
nor too wide in spreading.
'Put one hand easy and free into the
bosom of your waistcoat and the other
under the flap of it.
"DO not button more than the three
lowest buttons Of your waistcoat that
your hand may not be raised too high.
"Do not thrust your hand into your
breeches as vulgar boys do, but let it
fall with ease under the flap of your
waistcoat."
To face this page there is beautiful
copper cut" of a young master in the
easy and elegant attitude recommend
ed, and truly there is great deal Of
sweetness in his looks.'

An Ample and Sweet Revenge.

A young Englishman who had been
repeatedly and unnecessarily annoyed
by the st. Malo custom house officials
made up his mind to get even with
them. The last time he had crossed he
had brought ferret over with him,
and a minute or so before landing he
transferred the creature to black bag,
which he carried with extreme care
and an evident desire not to attract at
tention. This Immediately fetched
one of the douaniers, and he swoOped
down on it with joyful alacrity.
Our young Englishman pretended not
to understand the official until the
Frenchman made his meaning clear by
unmistakable signs. Then he slowly
and reluctantly unlocked the bag. The
douanier plunged in his hand, and-but

refuses to adequately describe the dra-
matte scene that ensued. Suffice it to
say that the bare recital of it was balm
to my wounded spirit. 1 only hope it
was our friend at the custom house
who made the ferret's acquaintance.

PREPARED CHALK.
How to Prepare an Effective and
Economical Dentifrice.

How to Prepare an Effective and
Economical Dentifrice.
Practically all the tooth powders of
commerce have the same baSe-pre-
pared chalk. This is mixed with some
saponaceous compound, favored a lit
tie, put up in an attractive bottle or
jar and, behold, a tooth powder cost
ing from Is to SO cents per vessel, &C
cording to the place you buy it and the
celebrity of the name on the label.
For Is cents enough tooth powder to
last a family year can be put togeth-
err. Buy the chalk in bulk and with it
some ground CASTLE soap, which all
druggists SELL Put them together in
the proportion of one-eighth soap to
seven-eighths chalk, mix well and fill
any and all the empty tooth powder
jars or bottles that you may have
around. If f1avoring is liked, it is easy
to add little wintergreen or pepper
mint.
So with the various antiseptic and
disinfecting solutions that, attractively
bottled and judiciously advertised, coax
pennies unnecessarily out of our purses.
There is no better cleanser and general
sweetener than saturated solution Of
bicarbonate of soda. Fill a pint or q
quart bottle, if you want to, with clear
/, water and add bicarbonate of soda got
from the druggist, not the grocer, until
the liquid will take up no more. Keep
this on your toilet shelf and use it as
q mouth wash, etc.
When it comes to an antiseptic fluid,
any surgeon will tell you that there is
practically nothing in materia medica
better than salt and water. 1t is al
ways at hand and is safe and effectual.

A BURSTING BOILER.
How 1t Looks When n Locomotive Is
Blown Up.

Blown Up.
II am one of the very few persons
who ever saw locomotive blow up"
remarked an old railroad man to a re-
porter the other day. Generally the
men who witness the explosion of a
steam engine are so dead when the
smoke has cleared away that they are
never able to give an account of the
disaster.
Like many other accidents, the one
I saw was the result of carelessness-
low water in the boiler-for the engine
had just come from the shops and was
in complete repair. 1t was on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad in West Vir-
ginia number of years ago. | was on
a locomotive some distance behind the
one which exploded and was looking
ahead out of the cab window. so that
the i'll fated engine was Immediately
before my eyes. Suddenly l saw the
machine rise in the air. 1t seemed to me
to be about as high as the telegraph
poles beside the track, which, as you
doubtless know, are not so high as tel
egraph poles In the city. Then came q
cloud Of dense black smoke and dust,
which hid the engine from view, and
almost simultaneously heard the roar
of the explosion.
'Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed, and the locomotive was fit
for nothing much but the scrap heap
when it fell to the ground. The crown
sheet over the firebox had blown out
''The strange thing about the explo-
sion was that no white steam was seen.
You know that perfectly dry steam is
invisible, being like the air, and before
it had time to condense it was proba-
bly, smothered by the cloud of smoke
and dust raised by the bursting Of the
boiler. baltimore Sun.

What Two Scotchmen Did.

In the early days of California two
Scotchmen emigrated thither. One of
them, an enthusiastic lover of Scot
land, took with him a thistle, the ma
tional emblem. The other took a
small swarm of honeybees. Years have
gone The Pacific coast is, on the
one hand, cursed with the Scotch
thistle, which the farmers find impos-
sible to exterminate; on the other
hand, the forests and fields are laden
with the sweetness of honey, which
has been and still is one of the bless
ings of the western slope Of the Rocky

public spirited citizen and merchant
was elected president of the board
of directors of the Festival of
Mountain and Plain, highly hon

nish had been a reputable and re-
spected citizen, it is doubtful If he
had been elected to that position.
1t is a fact that the officers and di
rectorate of that institution have
been Denver's most respected citi>
zens, William N. Byers having held
the presidency since it was first in
stituted. If what the News says is
absolutely reliable, that the attack
was inspired by malice because the
Post did not receive advertising
from Mr.. Monash, then that paper
should be bounded out OF existence

full right to select his own adver>

rantee for any publication to attack
a man because he does not offer
business to that publication. If re-

conduct upon the part ofpublishers
intensifies the contempt OF the pubs

TO GAYLORD.
A Former Grand Junction Boy
Makes Fortune In News

Lewis Gaylord, who spent his boyhood
days in this city, but who for the past
several years has been the principal
stockholder in the Colorado Springs
Telegraph Record publishing company.
has sold that splendid newspaper plant
to syndicate OF republicans in Colorado
Springs, and the papers published by
that company will be united with the
Mail, an evening publication. The deal
involves $4,000. forty thousand OF which
is in cash and the balance OF fifty thous-
and in ten year bonds bearing six per
cent interest.
The revenues of the paper will be re-
seived by Mr.. Gaylord and his associates
up until the first of January, making
the approximate selling price OF the pa
per s12OOOO.
Lewis Gaylord became interested in
the Telegraph shortly otter he left Colo
RADIO College. in the capacity OF an sd.
vertising solicitor. he rapidly forged to
tho front, saving his money and buying
stock Of the company, 30 that when Hon.
Charles S. Sprague became desirous OF
selling, Mr.. Gaylord WAS ready to pur-
chase his interest in the plant.
The Telegraph plant is one OF the best
equipped in the state. 1t has been
great money earning publication and
Mr.. Gaylord has enjoyed phenomenal
prosperity.
The many friends of Mr., GAYLORD in
this city will be glsd to learn OF his pros
perity. as he was the controlling stock
holder in the business and he will re-
ceive the greater part Of the money for
which the plant was sold. BE will spend

Native Superstition.

London. Nov. 2l.-Lieut.-Gov.- Gen.
George LIE Hunte,-in his annual report
on British Now Guinea, tells curious
story of native superstition which is
causing the sacrifice Of innumerable
lives. 1t fret swept the coasts and is
now ravaging the interior.
As the natives hold that death from
whatever cause is always compassed by
an unknown enemy, only discoversble
through vitchcraft, whenever a village
is attacked with whooping cough eor-
cerer is consulted. The latter invaria-
bly, designates another village or tribe
as culpable, and midnight massacre OF
innocent persons occurs.

The general verdict OF the public
will be in the Smuggler>Union
mine horror that the owners of the
tunnel were criminally careless. A
heavy drop or iron doors at the
mouth Of the tunnel would in AL
probability have prevented the hor-
rible disaster. The shaft houses
were so close to the entrance to
the tunnel that they were always
a menace in case of a fire. 1t is too
early yet to render judgment as to
blame. 1t looks very greatly, how>
ever, as if some one was to blame
