rro'ec ing Furniture.

Upholstered furniture, to be safely
kept, should be we'll brushed and
wrapped in newspapers; then place a
piece of ordinary tar roofing paper on
each article and again cover them with
newspapers. This also applies to rugs,
loose carpets or other articles that are
liable to be attacked by moths.
To protect upholstered furniture
wind the legs with paper, dip peices OF
old muslin in turpentine; when dry
put over the furniture; then put a
piece of camphor gum on the cloth.
Tie up we'll in paper cr cover with any
cotton goods.
Chairs and upholstered larger pieces
are preserved from dust and moths by
covering them with soft old muslin,
such as old sheets, nightdresses, etc.
After being we'll beaten and busted put
camphor in paper at the corners and
then tie brown paper tightly over.
To protect furniture during the sum-
mer have chair covers made of gray
holland, bound with red. 1t is very SER
viccable and will launder nicely and
should always be used in summer to
keep the dust out
Cover the furniture with muslin and
lay sheets of tar paper under the cov-
ers. In this way moths can be kept
out.
Moths may be eXterminated or driv-
en- from upholstered furniture by
sprinkli1g with benzine. The benzine
is put in a small watering pot. such
as is used for sprinkling house plants:
1t does not spot the most delicate silk,
and the unpleasant odor passes off in
an hour or two in the air. Care must
be used not to carry on this work
near fire or fame, as the vapor of
benzine is very inflarnmable.
Common unbleached cheese cloth at
8 cents yard and needle and thread
solves the problem of how to protect
pictures and picture frames from tiles.
Cut piece of cloth big enough to 90
all around the picture. Lay the pic
ture, front down, on this, pull the cloth
all around and sew up at the back.
Hang your pictures back in place, and
neither flies or dust will bother them.

a Cold Storage HaCrn.

l have been for some time lost IN
admiration Of the cold storage room oil
friend, writes Octave Thanet in
Good Housekeeping. This admirable
place adjoins the kitchen and two
ranges, coal and gas. The cook walks
into it, in a minute. 1t contains com
partments for milk and butter, ano
for meats, wine racks and all other
Injuries (including l think electric
light. and it does not consume the
ice rapidly. Since l have gone into
the ice business l have discovered two
notable things. One is that a freezing
room and a cooling room are very
different. For the freezing room the
ice must melt: the more it melts the
intenser the cold. Crushed ice and salt
are used in uneSe rooms which keer
meat frozen. In the cooling room the
melting is not hurried at all. All the
waltz are stuffed with mineral wool
And there is the same careful ventila'
ton found in the modern icehouse.

A Benefit to Farmers.

Th, benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent incor-
poration Of the International Harvester
Company which took over the business
Of the five leading harvester manufac'
turers have probably not been consid-
cred by a large portion of the farming
community.
The economical necessity Of consol-
idation Of the interests Of manufactur-
ers and those Of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost OF
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence Of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their several selling agents
has made the business Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers We're either the increas-
ing of the prices Of machines OF the re-
duction of the cost Of manufacture and
sales. The latter could only be accom-.
plshed by concentrating the business
in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not a stock
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
gible assets. There Is no stock offered
to the public, it having all been sub
scribed and paid for by the maDufac-
1,rers and their associates.
The management Of the International
Harvester Company Is in the hands OF
we'll known, experienced men.
The officers are: President. Cyrus II.
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com
mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman FL.
nance Committee. George ". Perkins;
Vice Presidents, Harold F. Mccormick.
James Deering, VIM. H. Jones and John
+. Glessner: Secretary and Treasurer.
Richard +. Howe. The members OF the
Board of Directors are as follows: Cy'
rus Bentley. William Deering. Charles
Dcering, James Deering. Eldrfdge NJ
Fowler, Z. II. Gary, John ]. Gfessner,
Richard F. Howe, Abram NJ. Hyatt.
William H. Jones. Cyrus Fl. McCor-
mick. Harold +. Mccormick, George
w. Perkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie
n. Ward. Paul D. Cravath.
The International Harvester Com
pany owns five Of the largest harvester
plants in existence, the Champion.
Deering; Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc'
ing nearly or quite 90 per cent: OF the
harvesting machines Of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands
blast furnaces and steel plant; 1t has
a new factory in the process OF con
struction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost Of produc
ing grain, grass and corn harvesting
machines will he so reduced that the
present low prices can be continued
and that consequently the results can
not be otherwise titan beneficial to the
farmer. 10 maintain the present prices
of these machines means to continue
and increase the development OF tht
agriculture of the world. for no ont
cause has contributed or can contrib
ute more to this development than TIT
cheapness of machines for harvesting
grains

Shees Eat Bottle Trees.

During the prolonged drought that
has devastated large areas OF Queens'
land, a few squatters have been abba
to save a remnant Of their fiocks and
herds by feeding them on bottle trees.
The scientific name Of this tree is
sterculia, but its popular name gives
an idea of it's shape. 1t Is like a
soda water bottle, magnided to a
height of four or five feet. The bull
bous part contains a mucilaginous
substance, which Is wholesome and nu'
tritious to those who have acquired
its taste. 1t was pathetic to see the
thirsty sheep gather around Dottle
tree, pick up the chips, chew them
and extract all possible moisture.

EVOLUTION OF SOAP.
Duty OF the Housewife BALI Century
Ago.

A Dutv Of tho Hou.ewire Half a Century
The production Of soap as a vast com.
tnercial enterprise has been developed
within the recollection of persons not
much beyond middle age. Women ana
men who would not at all enjoy being
called old remember quite we'll when
people as rule, made their own SOAP
that is. not for household purposes. In
all we'll regulated families there were
cakes Of scented soap, which were put
out for visitors or used for speclal
occasions, but such a thing as buying
boxes Of soap for cleansing clothes OF
scrubbing around the house was unH
heard Of:
Among the appointed duties Of all
thrifty and diligent housewives 40 or
50 years ago was making soap. This
was Incident to the custom of private
butchering and of the habit Of each
family of putting up its own meat.
The slaughter of half dozen hogs
furnished 4 surplus of fat which went
into the depository for soap grease.
The wood fires that were in vogue In
those days supplied ashes which yield
ed the lye to convert the grease int
soap. 1t was an early example OF the
utilization of offal which has since
been reduced to sucn a valuable and
important science. .
Soap, in it's rudimentary form, was
ID into two varieties-soft and
hard. The process of differentiation
was quite simple end was easily ae-
romplished by wholesome, bustling
tratrons who had no understanding
whatever Of the chemical action iri=
vclved in making soft soap hard by the
addition of common salt.
The spriugtime was the season for
making soap and lie smell Of burning
wood brings up to many a person of
nature the picture of the ash hopper
in the door yard and the big iron ket-
tie strurg on a pole, supported at eth
er end ry forked uprights. The smoke
VAS wont to blow in the eyes Of the
housewife in spite Of her expansive
srnbonr.et, and the soap wouldn't al
ways "come," but she was quite as
happy IN Eer task and as interested

Why Rats Gnaw.

Some years ago a German scientist
began 10 study rats and mice with the
object Of ascertaining why they are so
fond of gnawing food-and, indeed, al
most anything on Which their teeth
can be employed-and news now comes
that his patient researches have at last
been crowned with success. He says
that these animals-and especially rats
have teeth which grow longer every
year, and keep growing longer during
their entire life, and that the object of
the animals in gnawing is to keep
them at a proper length, as otherwise
It would be impossible for them to
grasp or chew any food.

Cleaning With Gasolene.

When gasoline is to be used as
cleanser it will be found to be much
more effectual if diluted in water.
Pure gasoline serves merely to loosen
the dirt, while the added water viii
wash away the traces of it. Use in
the proportion of two quarts OF water
to cup of gasoline. Those who use
it should understand that it is always
employed at the risk of an explosion.

The rapidly increasing use OF Oil as
fuel has given rise to the suggestion
that 1t may readily be supplied to
dwellings and factories by means OF
pipes. Just as water is. The sugges-
lion has taken practical shape in
town in the oil regions, where an old
water reservoir Is to be utilized for
the storage Of the oil. This arrange
ment will enable the consumer to get
at any time exactly what Quantity OF
oil he needs merely by turning fau-
Get. No information has been given
vet as to how payment for the Oil Will
be made.
A report from the Haynald ObserVa-
tory, in Hungary, says that professor
Schreiber has invented an electric ap-
paratus that records the approach OF a
thunder storm. A detectcr, similar IN
it's action to that used in the Marconl
telegraph system, registers the electric
wave set in motion by flash Of light
ming, the impulse being communicated
to a pen connected with disk moved
by clockwork. When the pen makes
it's record bell is rung. the vibration
of which resets the coherent. The in
strument gives notice of a storm ~
miles away, and on one occasion 1t re-
corded cne that wns raging at dis
lance OF GS miles.
It vas determined long ago that the
blue color Of the sky Is due to the scat
tering Of the short waves Of light
which are the blue waves-by the in
visible dust particles that float in the
upper atmosphere: Nearer the earth
the dust particles are larger and their
greater size makes them scatter all
the rays of light alike. This, accord
Ing to an article in a late number OF
a scientific journal, is what gives to
the clouds the brilliant fringes that We
often see. These coarser dust-partlcles
seem to be attracted by the clouds,
near which they accumulate, and it Is
the refraction of the rays OF light by
them that gives the clouds their
fringes:
Recently published scientific reports
Of the famous dust-storm of the spring
of 1901 show that it was a very re-
markable phenomenon. 1t originated
in Northern Africa, on the borders OF
the Sahara desert, crossed the Medi-
terranean sea and swept over the Alps,
going as far north as Denmark. The
dust was sand from the desert, the
particles that fell to the earth getting
finer and finer as the storm moved
northward. The sped at which the
storm moved was 43 miles an hour
The dust was borne by high atmo-
spheric current along the course CT a
baronetric depression, moving in the
direction of the Baltic sea. Rain,
snow and s1eet accompanied the fall
of dust as the storm approached the
north.
