HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Kid gloves will not mold if you pack
them away carefully in dry place.
The appearance Of a CRATE may be
improved by rubbing it over with a
piece of old velvet after it has been
polished in the usual way.
Metal teapots should have lump Of
sugar put inside them before they are
put away, otherwise they are apt to re-
main damp and acquire musty flavor.
Loops for hanging up garments are
continually breaking. A serviceable
loop is made by cutting u strip of kid
from an old glove, rolling in it piece
of coarse string and sewing the edges
of the kid neatly together.
Gilt frames may be revived by beat
ing up the whites of eggs with an
ounce Of soda and then, after blowing
the dust from the frames with the bel
lows, rubbing them over with soft
brush dipped in the mixture.
Experts in cut glass advocate the fol-
lowing as the best means of cleaning:
Wash the glass thoroughly with warm
soapsuds and cover with sawdust. AS
soon as the sawdust is dry brush the
article very carefully with soft brush
reaching all the crevices. 1t will come
out as clear and sparkling as bubble
fresh from the pipe.

Frank S. Foote, two of the murderers
of Sheriff w. G. Kicker late last even

left at the Woodward ranch to watch
things, and early yesterday morning
the two murderers came into the
ranch. They had had nothing to eat
and were badly frozen.
The town is all excitement. Men
are gathering in small crowds all over
town and other men are stirring up
the surrounding inhabitants.

protect the Jail. The crowd wanted
the prisoners as they were going to
Jail. Bell had them tied like hogs IN

as to the presence of the murderers
until they were lodged in Jail.
Deputy John Sherman reports that
Charles Woodward was seen Saturday
near the Asbell ranch, 25 miles west
of Ervay. Woodward was on foot and
going west. Deputy James Kennedy
got fresh horse at Asbell's ranch
and was not over four hours behind

"The Light That Faxed.

A wealthy Riverina squatter, now de-
parted. as he used to phrase it, 'to the
great Muster" was noted almost as
much for his Attic wit as for his
parsimony. He also suffered very
badly and helped along his hating
utterance With a frequent ejaculation
OF Dye see? Dye see?" His Mig
gardly traits gained him widespread
local unpopularity and the bitter en-
nifty of landowners, who We're always
vigorously refused rations at his sta
tons.
Smarting under this unusual inhos-
pitality, some disappointed swaggles
on occasion set fire to one of the SQUAT
ter's wool sheds and then wrote upon
gate: We've well burnt down your
wool shed. Dye see? Dye see@
or course. 1t caught the big mans
eye when next he passed through. For
moment he contemplated the an
nouncement and then with sardonic
grin took the stump Of blue pencil
from his pocket and scrubbed under
meath: 1T was well insured Dye see?

Authorizations In Letters.

Emerson said that sin a letter any
expressions may be abbreviated rather
than those Of respect aud kindness.
Never write Yours aff'ly.'" But, be
it said with all respect. this smacks Of
pedantry. The close of a letter is mere
formula and is precisely that part
which in writing to friend may with
out risk of misunderstanding be cut
short or dispensed with. But no haste
or degree of familiarity excuses care
less expressions in the letter itself.
Written words stand by themselves.
The tone Of the voice and the glance
of the eye. which often convey more
than half the meaning. are not there
as footnotes. Many and many an I'M
intentional sting has been planted by
a clumsy phrase or halting expression.
The same principle holds good in con-

HoARFRosT.
The Fabric Out of Which This Feath-
cry vvhiteness Is Built.


Commonly hoarfrost is described as
being frozen moisture, but this is not
an adequate description of an agent
that has the power of adjoining in a
few hours such prosaic objects as gate
posts and dustbins with all the trap
pings OF fairyland. Moisture is indeed
the fabric out of which all this feath-
cry whiteness is built up; but, although
it seems sometimes as if it is disturbed
in very capricious manner, there are
nevertheless certain definite circum-
stances which cause the hoarfrost to
settle down on some surfaces rather
than others. On any cold and frosty
morning it will usually be found that
those surfaces that are the best radi-
ators of heat are also those that are
the most successful in collecting boar
frost. 1t is not always realized, how
ever, that all objects are continually
radiating heat, so that, no matter how
much they may receive from the sun,
they are constantly trying to get rid
Of it.
A fern leaf or stone may perhaps
receive generous supplies of heat dur
Ing the day, but as soon as night comes
1t hurries to spend or radiate it, and
the object that is quickest at this work
Will sooa become covered in koarfrost.
Every one has observed how the nlois-
ture from the air will settle on the out
side of glass OF cold watcr liraught
suddenly into Il warm rIo.u :. SIM
liar process taxes place III the epen
air, so that as tie currents OF luo.st ali.
travel across surfaces that are very
cold they pay tribute in drops of va
por, which i'll warm weather take the
form of dew and in cold of hoarfrost.
Moisture therefore plays very impor-
tant part in the development of these
hoarfrost pictures. But there must not
be too much of it. Some of the most
delicate designs occur during the prey
alence of mist and haze, and in towns
especially it is no uncommon thing for
choking brumous fog to be in some
degree compensated for by subse-
quent display of copious hoarfrost.-
knowledge.
