HINTS For the Laundress.

To wash very grimy things. such as
overallst AMI working shirts, mix to-
gether equal parts of Kerosene. lime
water and turpentine. Shake the mix
ture in bottle until creamy. then add
a cupful to boiler of clothes. 1t can
also be used with hot suds, rubbing
directly upon dirty grease spots, allow
Jag to stand five minutes before wash
ing out and then rinsing in hot water.
In dampening clothes for ironing hot
water is much better than cold. The
moisture is more even, and the clothes
are sooner ready for the iron. Knit
underwear, stockings and other rough
pieces should be merely run through
the wringer when dry or folded and
laid in a smooth pile with a heavy
board and weight on top, the labor of
ironing being done away Withdrawal

fan is treated in the same way. The
small fan is placed upon the large one

wire in the small fan is bent to allow
the wire to form curved pocket, and
the ends are fastened to the outer
sticks Of the large fan, which forms
the back.
Ribbon bows are fastened over the
joiniHgs at the sides, and a length OF
ribbon extends from one to the other
and little above the top Of the back

Manuria1 Value OF Corn Slower.

According to the best analysis at
hand, ton Of corn stever without any
ears will be worth for the plant food
it contains at the market price for
these things $3.50 per ton. OF course
this is estimating at the value Of the
nitrogen, phosphorie acid and potash 1t
contains, but 1t does not properly show
its agricultural value since the organ
ic matter must go through the process
Of decay to render what plant food 1t
has available to plants; hence it Is
hardly fair to give the full value Of the
ingredients-thati is, we would not put
corn slower at $3.50 Der ton merely for
its manurial value. II in good feeding
condition one might afford to pay more,
knowing that he can recover large
part Of the manurial value in the drop

the decay Of excessive organic matter
lime will sweeten it and also destroy

is generally used freely at first.-as it
has all tLc effect of abundant manur-
ing or fertilizing. Organic matter is
quickly broken up and nitrogen as well
as potash and phosphate liberated in
soluble form. Even the insoluble soil
silieates are more or less broken up,
yielding plant food in small amounts.
The result on it's face is that lime APP

sooner or later these stores of plant
food are exhausted, and lime no longer
gives results. This is properly the
abuse of lime. s... r.

NO sharpen a Hoe.

In sharpening a hoe the fling should
all be done on the inside of the blade,
thus leaving it perfectly fat on the
lower side where it first strikes. II
fled on the outside of the blade or filed
on both sides and made wedge shaped
the hoe will have tendency to bounce
or push out Of the ground at each
stroke. This will be particularly mo-
dceable in hard ground or on striking
a clod. Don't spoil good hoe by fling
on the other edge because it is handler.
BY the way, good, sharp hoe will
save a good deal of muscle in the
course Of day, particularly il it is
kept bright SO 1t will "scour." The
same principle Of sharpening applies to
spades or shovels. File them on the In

RUSSIA REMAINS FIRM
WILL NEITHER RECEIVE NOR CON-
SIDER THE JEWISH PETITION.
State Department So Notified by
Charge Riddle, Who Sounded the
Csssss, Government.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-It was learned
tonight that the State Department had
received a reply from Russia stating that
it neither would receive nor consider the
matter of the Jewish petition on the sub
ject of the Kishineff incident. This in
formation came in the form of cable dis
patch from Mr.. Riddle. American charge
d d'affaires at st. Petersburg, to whom was
committed the delicate task of inquiring
of the Russian government as to its atti-
tude with respect to the presentation of
the petition. Ii is believed this will end
the matter and that no further steps will
be taken by this government TO bring the
views of the petitioners to the attention of
Russia, although as yet no consideration
has been given by the President to the
course to be pursued in the light of Rus
sias response to our inquiry. .
The reply that Russia would make to all
suggestions on the subject of the Kishineff
massacre was forecasted some weeks ago
in an authorized statement. when the pub
lie was definitely informed that Russia re-
garded the affair as an internal matter
as to which she in the exercise of her own
sovereignty must refuse to receive sug-
gestions from any other government or
outside source.

The complaint of the Coke Bros employees
that the company raised the price of coal
for domestic was decided against the
men, the board deciding that it had no
power to fix the price of coal to the en-
ployes to act on such a grievance.
A dozen grievances of the HazletOn region
are still pending and canot be settled by the
between the miners and the company. Tes-
timony will be taken on these matters at

reports on the equalization of prices upon
which will depend the wages of the work

afternoon the union voted the sum of 81 900

ALL But ONE RATIFIED
THREE TREATIES DISPOSED OF By
THE CUBAN SENATE.
Action ON the PIatt Amendment
Treaty Likely to BE Taken Before
Congress AdjOurns Saturday.

HAVANA, July 16.-The Senate to-day
ratified all the treaties with the United
States, excepting the Plat amendment
treaty. The treaties ratified were the one
signed on Feb. 16 granting the United
States sites at Guantanamo and Bahai
Honda for naval and coaling stations; the
agreement leasing the areas of the stations
which was signed July and also the
treaty conceding to Cuba sovereignty over
the Isle of Pines.
The foreign relations committee has not
yet prepared it's report on the permanent
treaty, but doubtless will do so before the
adjournment of the present session of Con-
gress, which will occur next Saturday.
1t is of no consequence to United States
interests whether the latter treaty is rati-
fed The fact of securing the naval sta
ton completes all that the United States
has been desirous of obtaining. The Isle
of Pines treaty and the permanent treaty
were both carried out on the initiative OF
Cuba
