Some housewives prefer tea leaves and
carefully save them after the tea is
poured off until sweeping day. Either
one will collect the dust, leaving the
carpet clean and fresh-looking. If
grease is spilled upon carpet, heat
enough bran to cover it, spread it over
the place to the depth of an inch and
set hot iron or two on the bran The
heat draws the grease out and the
bran absorbs it. One application is
usually enough, but if any grease re-
mains sweep the bran off and apply a
fresh coating. Ink stains may usually
be removed if treated as soon as the
ink is spilled. Take a large, coarse
sponge and take up all the ink it will
absorb. Wash the sponge, pour sweet
milk on the spot and dry with a sponge
as often as necessary to remove every
trace of ink. Then wash the place
with clean suds, rinse thoroughly and
wipe as dry as possible. Every trace
of ink will be gone when the carpet

When the House Is Damp.

AFTER damp season, like the pres
ent, mould Is likely to be prevalent all
over the house. In the library a fine
powder often appears in spots on the
DOCK covers, which comes off in q cloud
when rubbed with a cloth, and often
mis- the breathing passages and irri-
tates the throat. This fine mould is
especially prevalent at the seashore,
running gloves fine millinery and many
other things. There should always be
plenty of open fires at the seashore
during damp weather to fight this all
prevailing growth. When the rain is so
continuous, as 1t has been this sum-
mer, there is apt to be as much trouble
In the inland country as at the seaside,
and open fires morning and evening are
essential to health. Mould that settles
on wooden furniture or woodwork in
the cellar or any damp place is best
met by kerosene oil. Sometimes a Wig
orous rubbing is necessary to DESTROY
the pest. A coat of whitewash applied
to damp cellar wall will completely
dry it out. If in spite of this precau-
ton mould appears in spots on the
floor of the cellar, set boxes of I'M
Stacked lime about, and throw little
of 1t over the patches of mould that
have appeared.
1t is dangerous to health and even to
life in damp, mouldy house, or one
built over mouldy cellar. Many
years ago the London Lancet, in an
article on diphtheria, traced the dis
ease in certain cases to the presence of
certain moulds and fungoid growths
which seemed to be breathed into the
throat. Remember, one of the best dis
infectants is lime. Mouldy cloths such
as shoes and other articles that are un-
fit for use, should be destroyed at once.

eIycerin for the Complexion.

What is half known about good
looks in general and compilations in
particular fills many columns yearly,
but somehow does not work to salts
faction. Women have been twenty
years learning how to use glycerin,
and have more to learn yet. It's prin-
cipal use is to prevent evaporation of
fluids from the skin, keeping it moist
and soft. A tablespoonful-that is,
half an ounce-of glycerin to a six
ounce bottle of face lotion prevents it
from drying and gives the skin full
benefit of the liquid. Glycerin is
better as hair tonic than as a face
wash. Two ounces of glycerin, two
Of filtered water and two of alcohol or
cologne. shaken together, form an ex-
cellent lotion for massage of the scalp
A flannel wet with the liquid applies
it to the head an inch or two at a
time, and the scalp is rubbed vigorous
ly with the fingers till the fluid dries
Rubbing in" any salve lotions means
that it is rubbed until it dries and dis
appears from the surface completely
Heating or stimulating liniments for
rheumatism, for instance, should have
a tablespoonful OF glyCerin to six or
eight ounces of other fluid, to prolong
the action on the skin.

p Plan That Failed
Jumping The jfelen Mine.

To the simple minded American the
mining laws of the province of Ontario
are weird and complex. However they
may seem to the Canadians who franz
ed them, they present constantly new
points for wonder and admiration to
the proSpectorS who go thither from
south Of Lake Superior. But 1t Is
doubtful If any decision rendered I'M
der them ever caused greater astonish-
ment to the victim than did that rem
dered in the case of the Helen iron
mine against julius George, who
brought the action.
The Helen mine, which is little way
back inland from the Wawa lake gold
district, is the best iron mine in that
part of Canada. 1t Is little more than
a mountain of soft iron from which
steam shovels and other economical
devices are taking something like 1000
tone of ore each day. The mine is rated
by it's owners as worth SIS, ,000-or
so they say up there-and the COM
pany congratulates itself on having
secured the whole property for a very
small fragment of that amount. In
fact, it was originally sold for 5000.
When julius George, who is an AUS
TRAN, appeared on the scene the Helen
velopment which is has now attained,
and under the Dominion laws the title
to 1t was not perfected. At that time 1t
was necessary under the law for the
owners of the mine to take out each
year a new mining license on May 1,
and to register the mine under the new
license. Failure to comply with this
arrangement left the mine in it's pris-
tine condition, unstaked, ready for dis
covery by any chance prospector..
The company which owns the Helen
mine owns also nearly everything in
that part of the world, including rail-
way, steamship line and telegraph. 1t
seems to have considered itself too big
a proposition to require the service Of
so small a thing as the mining law. At
any rate, May 1 approached and no
steps were taken toward securing the
new license. This created no COM
ment, and apparently it was unnoticed,
But not entirely So julius George at
least knew it, and he made his plans
accordingly.
When noon of May arrived and no
license had been taken out In the COM
panys name, nor had g new registry
been made, Julius, fired by a greaI am
hilton. "hit the trail" for the Helen.
He told no one where he was going.
He started and trembled all that day
whenever any one spoke to him. Ills
greatest fear seems to have been lest
some one should discover what he was
planning. He went up the trail toward
the Helen mine that afternoon, turned
off beside the Maybe river, went OUT
of the way Of discovery from railroad
or trail, and at last came up on the
back of the mountain, far away from

ed Spain to attend the recent corona
ton of King Alfonso, he was received
coolly and accused of having writteE
triumphal march to Admiral Dewey
after the battle of Manila There were
no warm Spanish embraces for the
maestro until he denied the dreadful
charges.
Now it is limited throughout Europe
that Mascagni did write a Dewey
march, and that it is none other than
that which will be published as a
hymn to America for the opening of
the st. Louis exposition.
"Lies!" calculated Mascagni when
he was accused of having written a
Dewey march. do you think l would
glorify an alien at the expense of a
sister Latin nation?"
Then the maestro was given a de-
ferred joyful ovation.
The story of Mascagni and the
Dewey march is that an agent of an
American newspaper went to Mas
cagnl after the battle Of Manila bay
and negotiated with him for a march
In honor of Dewey. No contract was
made, but 1T was understood that the
price was to be not more than $4,000.
The agent left, and did not hear from
the composer. When he returned for
the march the agent found that ennis
saries from other newspapers had
visited the composer on similar err
rands. Mascagni could not be found
for long time, but when finally corn
cred he said to the first agent:
Il have had other offers. If your
journal will give me $4,000, the march
is yours"
The agent went away wroth, and
Mascagni resumed his dealings with
the others. None of them would paw
more than $1,000, and the composer
still has the march.
He kept the music, and now It is
the Exposition hymn.

other parts, and return to the first, re-

Woman Who Has Shifted Mentions
Remedies

A woman who has wasted altogether
too much of her life lying awake
nights gives the following results Of
her experiences: To circumvent in
somnia she says one must take at least
two hours brisk exercise in the open
air, or busy ones self about the house
on bad days. The last meal, whether
dinner or supper, should be taken four
hours before bedtime, which should
be early fors sleepless people. Supper
at B, bed by 9,zis good time, which
often results Sin sleep which would be
impossible an hour or two later. A
brisk rubbing Rover, a cupful of hot
water or hot lemonade drank in bed,
and, above all, perfectly comfortable
bedclothing, Witht thorough ventilation,
are conditions for good sleep, which
erratic nerves Will gladly accept. One
must be comfortable in bed, with light
coverings for warm nights, and light
but warm covers for cool nights in
early fall. Them it is that a flannel
kimono put on over the night dress,
and a pair of silk blankets, light and

But the wideaWake woman finds the
best exercise for inducing sleep is to
hold by one hand to the back of
chair or the edge of the open door, to
steady herself and in the loosest at
tire swing the opposite leg from the
hips back and forth as far as it will
go, bending the body and f1exing the
knee at each sweep of the limb. First
one leg, then the other, is swung, till

with rapid, windmill motions of both

rarely fails of sending one to pleasant

Skirts and Their Material.

Hardly new skirt is lined-among
the handsome ones, that Is. All have
instead the drop skirt of taffeta. This
skirt Of taffeta Is cut like the outer
skirt exactly, and finished with a
plating or a ruff1e with q plating
along the edge. We say the hand

side is not Of good, firm cloth a lining
is necessary to help keep it in shape,
and when the lining is of some cheap
cotton stuff the wearer certainly would
not want it hanging loose. 1t has one
thing to recommend it especially.
When it is worn out it may be cast
aside. In the case of a Worn-out lin
ing made In a skirt one must have
the whole thing taken apart to refine
1t, and this is about as much trouble
as making a new skirt. With the drop
skirts there's only to buy another. It
is to be hoped our stores will keep
them ready made.
The order books Of the wholesalers
reveal that from every quarter of the
country orders for velvets for the fall
trade are steadily pouring in. 1t is to
be a "Yelvet" season. The fine quail
ties Of Lyons and the hfgh-grade fancy
velvets will be used for the enrich
ment Of tai1or-made suits. Fancy vel
vets in medium and low qualities will
be employed largely for waists. The
hollow cut cords will be used for walk
ing skirts and costumes as well as
waists. Fancy velvets in every form,
from the most expensive to the cheap
est qualities, will hold the counters.
Of course, with velvets leading for
shirt-waist use, silk will drop off.
Taffetas in black and colors are to
hold first place among silks for fall
wear. Silks will be high on account Of
the recent silk strike. Moires will
hold place on the fall counters and
the peau de cygne and peau de sole
weaves and others of that type will
be popular. Velvet ribbons, especially

corners of the Helen property and at
each he cut from the brush a set of
stakes. julius had work to do with
these.
All that evening julius sat up be-
side a little fire in a ravine, waiting for
midnight. When at last his watch
showed that time he acted. May 1 was
past, the Helen mine was unrecorded
and Julius was at liberty to stake it
out. Which was exactly what he did.
He fastened through the dark woods
to the corners and drove the stakes.
Then when he had 1t all located he
made his best time for the registry
Office of the district, at Wawa. And
there, soon after daybreak, he created
the sensation Of the year by registering
In his own name the location of the
$15,000,000 mine. Wawa knew it in
ten minutes, and julius George was
the hero Of the hour. More-Julius

pretended that he was going to sell

ever, took another view of the case and

Some say the verdict was typewrit-
ten before the court sat, but that is
too base an insinuation to be believed.
At any rate the judge looked at julius

The students section of the Schu-
bert club will study along the same
lines this year as 1t did last year.
Three lessons will be devoted to the
study Of the Wagnerian drama. Par
ticular attention will be paid to the
music Of the dramas that are most
frequently heard, and the various mo-
taken up and explained. Last year the
students studied Wagner's life and
character and his dramas as dramas
primarily. The Wagner lessons this
year will therefore be continuation of
last years lessons. Beside the Wagner
lessons the Italian opera as 1t was at
Wagner's time will be taken up and
studied, particular attention being paid
to Verdi. AT the final lessons of the
erewslzi's "Manru" and the Strauss
musical cult.
Mrs George E. Gere, the contralto
singer, who has recently come to st.
Paul from Memphis, Tenn, will sing
for the first time before st. Paul au-
dience at the concert to be given
September 20 by the women of Christ
church. The concert, which will be
given in Christ church guild hall, is
for the building fund of the church.
Those who are arranging the enter
tainment are Mrs. Russell r. Dorr,
Mrs. E. A. Jaggard, Mrs. Forepaugh
and Mrs. John L. Snapp. The pro-
gramme has not yet been arranged,
but besides Mrs. Gere 1t is under
stood that there will be a number of
soloists, both vocal and instrumental.
A number Of trios, quartettes and
double quartettes will be made up from
the Schubert clubs vocal talent this
winter. There is already a Schubert
quartette, so those other groups will
have to find new names-that is, if
they think a name necessary. The
groups thus formed will appear from
time to time on the club programmes.
Mrs. J. w. Thompson is chairman Of a
committee having charge of the con-
certs given by the artist members of
the club.
Olaf Halls, who for the past five years
has occupied a studio in St Paul, has
removed to Minneapolis. Friday after
noon of each week, however, Mr.. Halls
will occupy one of Miss Hopes studios
in the Chamber of Commerce. He is
planning to give a recital in this city
late in the fall.
