How to Clean Carpets.

To remove oil and greese from car
pets. spread a layer of French chalk
over the spots. cover with a sheet OF
blotting paper. and iron with warm
fat iron. Repeat the process II neces-
sary. Or spread upon the stain
paste made Of fuller's earth, brush
ing II OF when dry, and renewing until
the stain Is removed. Use gall In the
paste to preserve the coiors Of the
fabric treated.
Remove oil paint spots with very
pure spirit Of turpentine. The impure
spirits leave grease spots.
To remove grape stains wash with
warm soap suds and little ammonia
water. sponging afterward with q
clear. cold water.
For carpets infested with moths or
carpet bugs, try spreading wet sheet
on the carpet. then running a hot fiat
iron quickly over II. The steam will
destroy both worms and eggs.
II the carpet Is not to be taken up. It
can be wonderfully cleaned and bright
ened by sprinkling a handful Of dry
salt over II. then sweeping carefully.
Many expert generals Of domestic
science use tea leaves instead OF the
salt. Either method is excellent. OF
course, all spots and stains should be
taken out before the carpet is subject
ed to this dry-cleaning process. The
salt is a good moth preventive

REMOVING ozone,



pleasant Cross Mixtures.
There is nothing more Slstastefui
than to have foods partake Of certain
odors that eventually give them pun.
gent flavor, and no amount Of careful
seasoning will obviate this difficulty.
Sensitive palates are remarkably
quick to detect the slightest unpleas-
ant odor.
II small particle adheres to the side
of vessel In which II has been cooked
and Is not removed II seriously affects
the contents when used again.
A wise precaution In preventing
these unpleasant cross.mixtures, espec.
tally when one utensil Is used for cook.
Ing various foods, is to thoroughly de.
odorize by boiling water In II tabout a
quart or more. according to the size OF
the utensil). In which has been sprin.
killed. a little washing or baking soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wood ashes
boiled in water for ten minutes can be
used for the same purpose.
when a nshy odor still clIngs to a
pan after having been washed put 1t
in the oven and close the door and al.
low II to remain there over night.
Tea and coffee pots when In disuse
for a while acquire peculiar strong
cdor Of their respective navors. 4
housekeeper recently discovered that
when putting the pots away II lump
Of white sugar Is dropped In II will
correct this fault.
Another suggestion which halls from
. thrifty New England housekeeper Is
to fill the tea and coffee pot with hot
water, then put in several hot c'nders
and close the lid. Allow to stand for
several minutes. then rinse out first In
hot soda water and then in plain boil
ing water. A piece OF paper put In
around the lid will prevent that musty
smell, as a current of air passes in and
out.
When boiling cabbage or sour kraut
put tin full Of vinegar back Of the
stove and the odor will not penetrate
through the house Keeping the doors
shut and a window open will Of course
allow odors to escape.
The smell OF onions on the hands
may be removed by rubbing them thor

Plsh FARMING In China.

one OF their little lodges for Matching

with tiny eggs of the fish they want to

A CURIOUS CRIMINAL Phase.
Fatal Finger Marks Often estaslis
the Guilt Of Accused Persons.

The possibility OF identifying PEI
sons BY their fngerprin,s has Ions
been recognized, but II has rarely OF
never been illustrated In such q
strange and dramatic way as In a re-
cent French criminal case.
The man servant OF dentist In
Paris was found choked to death In
lis masters salon. which had been
looted Of all It's valuables. Amongst
these we're a number of gold coins
which we're stolen from a cabinet con.
tanning q collection Of coins.
While the excitement was at its
height, and the police we're searching
vainly for the criminal. a French
scientist visited the chief Of police
and mentioned the name Of the mur.
dered. Arrest him." said the visitor,
"and II he is innocent will give him
q thousand francs as compensation
The accused man was accordingly
arrested. and to the establishment Of
all admitted his guilt.
The explanation revealed not only
the value Of the Hnger.print system Of
Identification, but the marvellous keen.
ness and accuracy Of scientific meth.

The scientist, who had been shown a
photograph Of the apartment. had
noticed two faint white marks on the
edge Of the broken glass Of the cab.

Obtaining leave to inspect the room
itself, he examined the glass Of the
cabinet, and found, as he suspected,
that the white marks were really fin
ger.prints, which being composed OF
tiny quantities OF grease and dirt, had
made the glass opaque and thus re
vsaled themselves In the photograph
He next proceeded to have the piece
Of glass cut out with q diamond, and
taken to the bureau Of the anthropo
metric service In which are kept the
records Of physical measurements oI
criminals and suspected persons Here
they were photographed on a highl,
magnified scale and compared with the
collection OF flnger-prints In the
bureau.
They Tailed closely with those Of ,
certain criminal who had passed
through the bureau about year pre-
Iviousiy. being then charged with oh
tanning money under false pretenscs

production Of his photograph. whicl
was at once recognized by the DENTS
!as that Of q man who had called 4

whom he appeared to be on friendl
terms.
According to the prisoners confes
sion the two had planned to rob tn
dentists premises. but had quarrele
lover the division of the spoil. with r,
suits that proved fatal to the dentist
servant.
Had the murderer's fingers bec
stained with blood, dye or other colo

identity would have still been remarl
