Virtues of Salad OIL.

Salad oil forms most useful article
of diet for delicate people. The in
valid who cannot touch cod liver oil
should be encouraged to use freely
mayonnaise dressing, and in eating
salad to pour over it liberal supply
of oil. In cases where the taste for
this is not, it can generally soon be
acquired. For some cases of debility
and weak digestion small doses of oil
will do wonders. Many people have
been able to give up the almost daily
use of drugs by taking instead des-
sertspoonful of salad oil on going to
bed If the taste be dislinked it can
be taken with little claret, which will
quite disguise it. In the nursery salad
oil should be used for rubbing into
the chest-back and front - when
there is any tendency to weakness of
the lungs. The pores of the skin will
absorb it readily, and it will be found
to have a nourishing and strengthen
ing effect.-Modes.

CONVENIENT HOG HOUSE.

16 feet wide, with a row of pens
down each side, and four-foot al
ley in the middle. The pens are
six by eight feet, with a gate open
ing from each into the alley, and a
window in each. The house stands
north and south, so that the sun
can shine in both from the east and
the west. The entrance ways are at
the ends of the alleys. The founda-
ton is built up two or three feet
from the ground so that there is a
free circulation of air beneath, and
no chance for rats or mice to har-
Dor. There need be no fear of cold
in winter as a house of this kind,
if built with any degree of care, will
not freeze even in the coolest wealth

century, part of the time in Paris, but
most of it in London. In both capitals
the generous allowance made by her
husband has enabled her to give So
cial entertainments in manner that
could not be approached by hostesses
of moderate wealth. No matter how
clever and witty man is he enjoys a
good dinner faultlessly served. Mrs.
Mackay gives them.
That is why the brightest and clev-
crest persons in London are always to
be found at her house. With the CO.
operation of shrewd campaigners like
Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. Adair, the young
duchess of Marlborough, Lady Curzon,
of Keddleton; Lady Arthur Butler
and Mrs. George CORVALLIS West (for-
merly Lady Randolph ChurchilD it
would be strange if it were otherwise.
If that means a revival of the salon
Mrs. Mackay is accomplishing it, but
she would be the last person in the
world to put any such construction
upon her social success.
In the first place, Mrs. Mackay's
house, No. 6 Carlton House terrace,
just off Pall-Mall, is one of the most
beautiful homes in London. 1t is large
enough to entertain great number of
guests without what is in social par
lance, called "crush." She never does
anything on a small scale. The home
was purchased from Mr.. Sanford, who
lost his money in the Barring crash
about ten years ago. Among other
things it has beautiful marble stair
case that is said to have cost $500, 900.
The ceiling above this is inlaid with
mother of pearls. The drawing-room
contains treasures collected by Mrs.
Mackay in all parts of Europe. The
ballroom is one of the finest in Eng
land. 1t is no wonder that persons in
the social swim, as well as those who
want to get into it and can't, are eager
for invitations to Mrs. MacKaJ-s recep-
lions.
When Mrs. Mackay, who had just re-
moved from Paris to London, said she
wanted this house her husband
bought it for her. When some persons
talked about his residence being in
America and his spending so much
time away from his wife, Mr.. Mackay
published in all the journals and di-
rectories that are supposed to give Of
fetal information on ssch matters,
that his residence was at No. G Carlton
House terrace, and in San, Francisco
and that his place of business was in
New York.
Mrs. Mackay is no longer you ing

dress like one. With all her wealth
she has met with more sorrows than
most women-a daughter married to

DIVISION OF THE HOUSE.

ercised to give good ventilation so
that the animals will not become
overheated and catch cold in the
open air at meal time. A good roof
that will turn snow and rain is es-
sential. With cracks battened and
tight doors and windows, the tenn
perature can be controlled by watch
ing the ventilators, which can be the
windows, or shutters placed in the
gable ends for that purpose. The
number of hogs the house will ac-
commodate will be limited by its
length.
This house is designed for sleep
ing quarters mostly, although it may
be used by sows at narrowing time.
A layer of straw scattered over the
floor will make sufficient bedding.
This should be changed as often as
it becomes dusty. If the hogs are
given proper attention, there will
never be other cause for cleaning out
the pens. Catching an individual hog
is an easy matter. Watch when he
goes into the house, follow him into
a side pen, drop the gate and he is
yours. Loading for market, too, is
an easy job. Let chute be arranged
at the end of the alley, if the ele-
walton is not sufficient to make the
floor on level with the wagon bed;
get the hogs into the pens, close one
alley door and back up the wagon
at the other, lift the gate, drive the
hogs into the alley, then into the
wagon.-J. L. Irwin.

THE DANISH ISLANDS.

Denmark can have all the time 1t
wants for referring to the people of
the West India islands the project for
their annexation to the United States.
Undoubtedly the islanders will sane
ton the transfer. Annexation will
bring an immediate advance in the
value of all sorts of property in the
islands. 1t will better the conditions
of all their people. Every intelligent
person in the entire islands, in Den
mark and in the United States knows
this. A third of a century ago, when
annexation was up before, the island
ers voted almost unanimously in
favor of it. Annexation has ever more
advantages for the Danish islands nov
than il had then, for the United States
is far more prosperous in 1902 than it
was in 1S67-6S, and its purchase of the
products of the islands will be greater
now under annexation than they would
have been then. The islanders will
put no distractions in the way of their
! transfer to the United States.

PENSIONS.

So great have been the flood of bills
for pensions involving claims which
have no standing that the pension COM
mittee of the senate has been forced
to take action to curtail the number.
With the purpose of preventing the in
PRODUCTION of bills which cannot re-
ceive favorable action, and enabling
the committee to give attention to
those worthy of consideration, the sen
ate committee has adopted a code of
rules governing these measures.
Pension committees were created to
consider a limited number of claims,
which were necessarily rejected by the
pension bureau either because they
were not covered by existing law or on
legal or medical te~chnicalities which
congress could set aside as a matter of
equity and justice.
In creating these committees it was
not the intention of congress to have
them flooded with pension bills, but
merely to afford a means of relief in
cases of exceptional merit.

CASE OF DANIELS.

President Roosevelt is being urged

THE case of Ben Daniels was con-
sidered at some length. Letters and
kilograms protesting against his con
frmation were read, and afidavits
were laid before the committee set
ting forth in great detail that Daniels
was a faro dealer at a public gam
bling house in Nogales just prior to his
departure for Washington to ask for
the appointment.
There was a pretty free exchange
of opinion, and it was almost unani-
nous that Daniels was not a fit person
for the marshalship.
"At the suggestion of C~ulberson, of
Texas, Senator Hoar will express the
views of the committee to the presi-
dent. before further action will be
taken by the committee.
This means that the president will
be asked formally to withdraw the ap-
pointment and if he refuses to do so

ably"
