HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
There Is an Art in Even Putting Clothing
Away for the Season.
New York Times.

New York Times.
The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat,
but economical and generally smart in
appearance. When she comes in from
walk, she never hangs up her coat
by the loop inside the collar, if she puts
it away in the closet she uses coat
hanger-if she leaves it around the
room knowing she may need it soon,
she disposes it over the back OF the
chair that will keep it in shape. The
skirts of her gowns never have
stringy look because they are always
hooked and then hung by two loops.
For a tailor. made skirt she uses
small coat-hanger with the ends bent
down a little; this keeps the skirt in
excellent shape and causes it to hang
in even folds. The strings of her un-
derskirt are tied and the garment is
hung by the loops, thus never showing
hump where it has rested on the
hook. For the same reason her shirt
waists are always hung by the arm
holes, unless they have hanging loops.
Handsome waists have both sleeves
and body stuffed with tissue paper,
and are then laid in drawers or boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping pair of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet. If trees are not available, news
paper will do, if it is stuffed in right.
1t is we'll to roll each veil on a stiff
piece of paper; a single foil will often
spoil the set of q veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of a face.
Gloves should always be removed by
turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape and each finger
smoothed out. Ties, especially four
in-hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, of course, should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the
trimming will not be disarranged.
This disposition depends so much on
the hat and the available space that
each woman must use her own ingen-
uity. However, it is safe to say that
no hat should be laid fiat down on a
shelf. Furs, also, should be protected
from dust, and a muff should always
be stood on end.

USED HIS WIFE AS COLLATERAL.
When Redemption Time Came Mrs. Bonezek
Refused to Return Home.

When Redemption Time Came Mrs. Bonezek
Refused to Return Home.
If John Bonezek, of Chicago, ever
gets his wife back again he will think
twice before he puts her up again as
security for . debt. He has settled
the debt, but his vile now says she
prefers the erstwhile creditor to her
husband and refuses to 60 home.
Bonezek told his story to Justice
Eberhardt and gave the magistrate
pretty matrimonial tangle to unravel,
few days ago.
Bonezek said he bought stock Of
groceries from Michele Kulpanski
some months ago. He agreed TO
make an immediate payment Of $50
and in addition to assume the debt OF
Kulpsnski. A note was suggested and
refused.
Then Kulpanski's eyes fell on
Bonezek's wife and he was seized
with an idea. Mrs. Bonezek should
come to his house and take care of
him until her husband had paid Kul-
paneki's debts.
This seemed hard proposition to
Bonezek, but he agreed to it, and Mrs.
Bonezek went to the Kulpanski home.
A few days ago the last OF the debt
was paid and the condition of the sale
of groceries had been complied with.
Bonezek went to the Kulpanski house
for his wife. She refused to return to
her rightful home.
No amount OF urging either by the
court or the woman's husband could
change her mind and the matrimonial
tangle has been taken under advise.
ment by the justice for one week.

The Rule Of the Road.

The "rule OF the road" in the Unit
ed States is "turn TO the right; in
England it is the reverse. The rule
holds in this country in the case where
two vehicles going in opposite direc-
tions meet. When one vehicle over
takes another the foremost gives way
to the left and the other passes by on
the "of side," and when a vehicle is
crossing the direction of another it
keeps to the left and crosses in its rear.
These two rules are the same in this
country and in England, and why
the rule concerning meeting vehicles
should have been changed it is impos.
sible to say. We find this point of
difference noted by all authorities, but
no reason for it il ever suggested.
Probably, as it is easier to turn to the
right than to the left, it was adopted
as the moro preferable custom in some
Of the carly colonies, and in due time
became embodied in local Law, and
thus handed down to later times.

No Race Suicide.

Chief Statistician King of the census
Office at Washington ridicules the race
suicide scare that was started by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He says that before
long this country will be confronted
with the problem of what to do with
the people.
To prove his assertion Mr.. King
quotes from the census returns OF
1900. In that year the enumerators
found 2,O49,l34 children were born,
and record of ,O39, ,094 deaths, or an
excess Of births of 1,010,04S. This
large excess of births was revealed
despite the fact that deaths are re.
corded with much more accuracy than
births. 1t is admitted that the per.
centage OF births not recorded is sur
prisingly large.

To Tell Age.

Tell the person whose age you are
endeavoring to learn to put down on q
piece OF paper (he does not show you
the 6gures) the day of the month of his
birth. Ask him to double it, add sew
en-, multiply by fifty, add his age, sub.
tract 365, multiply by 100. add the
number of the month of his birth, and
then add 1900 and give you the re.
sulting figures. You will find in their
order the day of birth, the age and the
number OF the month of birth. For
instance, if one is born on the 25th
day of Feb, and is AZ years of age,
the resulting figures would be 254 ,202.
If he is 3S years old ON the 5th day of
September, the resulting number would
be $500.

TIRE PANAMA CANAL.

Much has been written and said OF
late concerning the proposed Panama
Canal.
Some of it has been common sense
and some OF it has been rot, pure
and simple.
There's is one fact that stands out
above everything else. We need and
must have the canal. Our national
interests demand it. And our national
interests must not be sacrificed.
As to where that canal is we are not
particular.
Probably the Panama route would
be the the best, but the Panama is not
the only one.
There is the Nicaragua route, al
most as good as the other.
Is there any opposition on the part
OF the people to the digging of this
canal2 Not bit.
Is there opposition on the part OF
any class? You bet!
Who are they? you ask.
They are the stockholders and the
officials of the transcontinental rail.
roads, whose lines would be paralleled
if we dig canal across the isthmus.
And their opposition is very great
and powerful.
And they are using every art known
to shrewdness to prevent the construc-
tion of any canal.
Unless the American people arise in
their might and demand it the canal
will never be built.
Colombia has rejected our treaty,
and if the truth were ever known it is
dollars to doughnuts you would find
American gold at the bottom of that
rejection. 1t passed the American
Senate only after the press and the
people united and threatened to retire
our dignified statesmen to private
life unless they considered the inter-
ests of their constituents.
The railroad people are working
twenty-four hours day to defeat the
project.
And they will defeat it unless we
look sharp.
Once in a while it becomes necessary
for the people to let their voices be
heard, and to demand of their official
servants that they do the bidding OF
their masters.
1t is time for the people to take a
hand.
The canal must be saved.

IT MAY BECOME A FAD.
An Innovation in Methods of Summer Recre-
ation-House Wagons.

ation-House Wagons.
Judge Fullerton's idea of fitting up a
wagon with household necessities for a
prolonged fair-weather outing OF his
family has seemed to have been al
ready adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. B.
Lawrence of Southern California, who
are, from account of the Examiner,
travelling all over the State in a house
on wheels, which is wonderful as far as
utility is concerned. Besides contain
ing all the necessities found in we'll
regulated home, the wagon is supplied
with an organ, stereopticon and other
similar things which DIR. Lawrence
uses in lectures he gives.
The house on the wagon body, is
constructed of heavy canvas, solidly
brsced. Inside is a folding bed, fold
ing table, collapsible chairs, adjustable
sides, gasoline stove, cupboards ga
lore, lockers that are dust and moth
proof-in short almost dining Car in
miniature, minus some of the ele.
gance, but perhaps none the less COM
Portable and homelike for that, and
yet so light as to be easily drawn thirty
miles day by two horses. DR.. and
Mrs. B. Al. Lawrence have been all
over the southern country in it al
ready. In its predecessor, which was q
heavier, more cumbersome vehicle, DR..
Lawrence and his wife covered many
thousand miles, and by the time the
present rig is worn out they will have
left behind as many more.
The wagon Is so constructed that in
stormy weather it can be closed up
up perfectly wind and rain tight.
When fair and warm the affair can be
opened up like fan. 1t is we'll bal.
anced and can hardly be tipped over.
When meal time comes around the
little gasoline stove is fred up, conf.
cal little table is let down from the
wall, folding chairs pressed into SER
vice, the bed pulled up, and everything
is ready for the cooking. The meal
over, table, chairs, cupboards, utensils
all are packed away so neatly that one
would never suspect there had been
any in use few minutes before.
Lockers with cushion tops made ad-
mirable seats.

said DR.. Lawrence, "but enjoy travel.
ing about in this wagon so much that
I would rather make considerable sac
rifice in financial way than give it

our home even more comfortable than

A Handy Table Of Quantities.

In cooking recipes, 2 cupfuls OF
tightly packed butter equals one
pound; 4 cupfuls of flour, 2 of sugar
and 2 OF finely chopped meat also
weigh a pound; 3 teaspoonfuls equal
one tablespoonful; 16 tablespoonful
one cupful; 2 tablespoonfuls butter,
one ounce, and 4 tablespoonfuls flour,
one ounce.
When you buy q new broom, tie the
strands tightly together and soak the
broom in pail of hot salt and water
for an hour. It will tougher the straw
and make the broom last longer. AL.
ways wash broom in hot water after
the weekly sweeping; broom needs
to be cleaned as we'll as the floor.
If the granite tea or coffee pot be.
comes discolored on the inside, put
into it tablespoonful of borax and
half fill the pot with cold water. Let
it come to the boiling point, then re-
move from the direct heat and let it
stand for another half hour. Rinse
with clear, hot water and wipe dry.
In scrubbing the kitchen floor with
q brush, you will have much better
results if yon rub with the grain of the
wood, instead of crosswise, or in Cir
cles, as some do.
Scrub your meat boards with a
small brush kept for that purpose,
rubbing with the grain OF the wood.
