There are in the doing of little things,
even in homework, a right way and a
wrong way-a good way and a bad
way. Consider for a moment the item
of sweeping with a broom. The next
time you undertake it notice your
broom. Do you find that you hold it.
or move it rather in front of you-the
brush farther forward than the handle
each stroke raising the brush and
with it a cloud of dust into the air and
the space beyond? If so, try this way:
Stand with the broom rather behind
you, partly facing 1.-THE brush farther
back than the tip of the handle. Used
in this way you will find that the dust
rises no higher than the brush that, in
fact, little rises, but is gradually moved
to one central point, where it may be
easily gathered into the dustpan
Swept in this way, even a dusty room
may be perfectly tidied without dis
comfort to any person who may be
obliged to remain in it during the proc

For every five pounds of feathers use
one-half cupful of boraX for about eight
gallons of cold water Put the boraX
and water in boiler, immerse the
feathers and weight down. boil for four
hours. then drain out the feathers,
spreading out somewhat. When cool
enough TO handle squeeze dry as pos
siblc by h0ndfuls. put into cases and
fasten by one end to the clOtheSline in
the shade. Sun should not shine on
feathers, for it starts the grease in the
quilts. Thoroughly pummel and shake
the pillows three or four times a day
until dry, changing ends every time
they are rehung. Three or four breezy,
drying days will find them thoroughly
dry and clean.

A gas escape can be stopped by rub
bling a little soap on the pipe at the
point where the leakage occurs. This
will not prevent the necessity of visit
from the plumber, but will enable you
to wait for his coming with calmness
If you find gas is escaping open the
windows and let the gas in the room
escape before you hunt for the damage
in the pipe with light. When plenty
Of fresh air has blown out the accumu-
lated gas from the room then you may
search for the escape, but never take
light into room smelling of gas
till you have done this, for by doing

PASSENGERS FAIL TO
GET WHAT THEY PAY FOR

There is some dissatisfaction being
expressed over the new rule that
went into effect on the Peoria branch
of the Rock Island the first of the
present month by which there is a
general increase of fares between
this city and most of the points down
the line. This was brought about, as
was told in The Argus at the time,
by changing the terminus at this end
from the Twentieth street depot to
the Fifth avenue depot, making a diff
ference of about mile.
The protest over the new rates is
particularly strenuous ON the part OF
those who travel to the city from the
nearby towns by rail. They are in
clined to eXpostulate against paying
for "a ride to the upper station when
they have no business in that end oI
town. There is a positive injustice in
the application of the present system
to the trains on the Mercer count y
branch. Passengers are compelled tC
pay the additional fare amounting tC
four or five cents each way, when as
matter of fact the trains do not
run to the upper depot at all, and il
Il passenger wishes to transfer to the
main line he must employ some Other
method of getting there if he is il
too big a hurry to wait till passen
ger train from Peoria happens along

Immense Tobacco Purchase.

Forty-eight thousand dollars paid
for a fancy lot of tobacco. The big
gest purchase of high grade tobacco
ever made in this section of the coun-
try by cigar manufacturer, was
made last Wednesday by Frank z.
Lewis for his celebrated Single Binder
cigar. A written guarantee was given
that the entire amount was to be
fancy selected tobacco. This no doubt,
makes the Lewis factory the largest
holder in the United States of tobac-
co of so high grading.-Peoria Jour-
