How to Dust Properly.

The proper method of dusting furni'
ture has to be learned. 1t does not
come naturally. People rarely begin
with a duster in each hand, which is
absolutely necessary to success. That
in the left hand is needed to prevent
leaving finger marks when steadying
and lifting the furniture. Each piece
should be wiped lightly from the top
downward to remove dust, and then,
after the duster has been chaken out
of the window mot over the carpet),
it should be rubbed vigorously to raise
the polish. A stuffed cushion should
be brushed and then busted before the
wood is dealt with, or the dust will
fly out and settle on the wood. The
legs and spindles should be rubbed
between the two busters with both
hands, as we rub cold hands together
to warm them. This is a saving of
time and insures all sides being equally
bright,

Laundry stoves For FAMILY Use.

Laundry stoves are now made spe'
cially for family use, and will be found
a great convenience when the family
is large and the kitchen range in con-
stant requisitiOn for cooking. They
come in two slzes-Nos, 8 and 10
and with either round or oval tops.
They are lined with fire brick, have
dumping and shaking CRATES, water
back to heat the boiler, and grooved
places around the cylinder where seven
or eight irons may be heated at exc
time without using the top Of the stove
at all. AS the cylinder is unlined, very
little heat Is required to keep the
irons at the right temperature-a con-
sideration in the midsummer days,
when the laundry is largest.

An English woman talking about

selves are the lost ones to wish to do
away with the chaperon. The cnapcr.

considered incumbent upon her. Her
thoughts turn now not to tie welfare
of her charges, but to her own amuse.
ment, and parties Of chaperons are to
be seen amusing themselves in one way
or another instead of being constantly
on hand to put in a pin for the chaper-
oned If an accident happens to q train
in the ballroom, to furnieh a halrpin
to keep in place dance-disordered locks,
and to give sympathy, help and advice
upon all occasions.
"Girls do not want the chaperon to
co." she continues. 'They do not de-
sire to fend for themselves when out
on pleasure bent. They desire the
happy hours to run on creased wheels
and like to know that some one is pres
ent who holds IN her capable hands
judgment, sympathy and responsible
ity. They are more likely to urge their
parents to copy old-time methods than
they are to laud the vogue which
pushes the girls into the background
and sets their charming mothers and
mature cunts on the pedestal Of social
success which they should occuDy,"--

A Defense Of the Old Maid"

A toast is offered to the spiaster!
We meet a great many pleasant people
In this world, but nowhere do we find
more satisfactory person than that
elderly unmarried woman generally
and somewhat disrespectfully known
as the "old maid" and supposed to be
afflicted with nerves" and a cantank
erous disposition. AS a matter of fact
she is frequently the sweetest. most
self-forgetful of her sex. She usually
walks, with tact and loving heart. iu
other women's paths, lives in ether
women's homes, and reioices in ther
women's joys, making them her own.
The children adore her, for she be.
comes to them a sort of fairy godmoth-
er, one who possesses all the tender
ness Of mother without the extremes
Of maternal discipline She loves to
give children good time" and does
1t with extraordinary success. In
household details, what treasure!
How many dinners owe their success
to her, who reaps no glory except the
glory Of doing! And in the ultimate
trials of life, what a prop and solace
she becomes! But 1t is to the young
boy-lovers Of the family that she ex-
hibits the finest flower Of her capacity
for friendship. What gift of under
standing she seems to have! There Is
no difficulty she cannot disslpate, no
fear she cannot lessen, no tender little
half-scared hope that she does not en-.
courage to bloom for the ether woman.

Ask Protection from Weather While
 Preparing for Seal Catching.

Seattle, Wash. Feb 1.-The Post-ln- telligencer to-day prints a special dis patch from Unalaska the following let ter written by Collector J. w. lvey of Alaska to his deputy at Unalaska;
 T am advised that British vessels from Canadian ports engaged in pelagic sealing in and about Behring sea are in the habit of calling al Unalaska and Dutch Harbor for pro- tection in bad weather and the pur- chase. of supplies and of enjoying the privileges of the port until the season opens for them to engage in the unlaw- fuI and barbarous extermination of the fur seal herd, in violation of the laws of the United States and the interna- tional agreement with Great Britain. Until further advised on the subject you are instructed to cease the collec- ton of tonnage dues on this class of vessels from all countries and to re- fuse them the privilege of the port, water or fuel. and treat them in all respects as vessels engaged in illegal poaching.
 'Any such vessels arriving at your port shall be notified to depart forth with. and in case of refusal to obey promptly you shall seize and delay such vessels and call the United States marshal and revenue cutter to your assistance.
 Should you find from personal eN- animation that any such vessel arrives in absolute distress you will allow her to obtain such relief only as will en- able her to return to her home port"

SCHOONER BURNED 1T SEA.
Life Saving Crews We're Unable
 to Render Assistance.

The Vessel Was About Six Miles Off
 Cape May--People From the Shore
 Watched 1t Nearly All Night-One
 Of the Life Savers Was Badly
 Frozena
 Cape May, x. J., Feb 1.-The hulk of the unknown schooner which vas burned at sea last night off this place is floating about ill the ice this morn ing a few miles off shore. The crews of five life saving stations went to the assistance of the burning vessel last night, but after being out until 3 o'clock this morning they gave up the attempt to reach her and rowed back to the shore.
 The life savers from the stations at Cape May, Cape May Point and Two Mile Beach who returned tell graphic stories of their long struggle to lend assistance to the crew of the burning ship. The night was about the coldest Of the winter and the darkness was almost in1penetrable. Tn addition there was wind enough to make the sea ; choppy and therefore dangerous for small craft For several days great quantities of ice have been floating out of Delaware bay and this is packed along the shore and extending several miles out to sea. The burning Schoo- ner was first observed on fire at about , o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that time she appeared to be imbedded in the drifting ice. The three life saving crews from the neighborhood were joined by the crews from two stations north of here, and these men battled for hours in a fruitless endeayor to penetrate the ice and get to the assist ance of the ilnperilled crew of the blazing ship.
 They were unable to force their frail boats through the packed ice Long after midnight the brave men gave up their battle.
 Their suffering was intense.
 one or the surfmen from this city. Enoch S. Roseman, was found to be bad ly frozen and he was carried in an al- most sunconscious condition from the beach to the station, where medical assistance was rendered All during the night residents of this place lined the beach and watched the burning ship through marine glasses. When the fire was at it's height the flames leaped high into the air. To-day smoke Is issuing from the hulk, which ap- pears to be drifting in the ice The schooner was first seen about six miles off Cape May Saturday night. It IS believed she was then caught in the ice. which finally started a leak and led the captain to set fire to the shin and abandon her.
