Scrapbook.

Ror removing stains and spots from
layatory basin and bathtub kerosene
cannot be equaled.
When making a pudding don't forget
to make a plat in the cloth at the top of
your basin, so as to allow the pudding
room to swell.
To keep jam from mildew dip rounds
of white paper into the white of an egg
and lay on the tops of the jars or pots.
Cover closely and the jam will keep per-
fectly clear of all mildew for any length
of time.
To preserve stair carpets put pads OF
old blankets on each step. If there is no
store of ancient blankets to draw from
a substitute may be made of several
t~hicknesses of brown paper.
Drawing room chairs and sofas which
have become shabby may be made use
full by the thrifty housewife if she
clothes them all in petticoat covers Of
%cretonne, by which is meant covers with
deep frills sewed on all round.
A few drops of kerosene oil will do
much toward starting particles of dust
from machinery. If a clock is to be
cleaned, it a be done effectively by
placing in the lower part a soft cloth
saturated with kerosene. The bits of
dirt and particles of dust will be loosened
by the vapors and will drop down and
car be removed.
Beeswax and turpentine polish for
linoleum is hard to beat as far as an.
pearance Is concerned, but 1t has one
defect; 1t causes a slipperiness which
may be very dangerous to children and
old people. A polish which has no such
objection is made of equal parts of lin
seed oil and vinegar. Apply a little to a
flannel cloth, rub 1t well on the linoleum
and polish with a clean, dry cloth.
Velvet is now 30 much used that If ia
convenient to know how to revive and
cleanse it, Velvet that has been spotted
by rain may be restored by passing the
wrong side quickly over a vessel of boiI.
ing water, then over a warm iron. which
a second person should hold. Another
mode is to use a very hot iron covered
by a cloth wrung out of hot water. The
velvet back may touch the iron in this
case, the process being literally a COM
binatlon of ironing and steaming. For
large pieces of velvet a heated brick can
be covered and used in the same way.
Owing to the greater surface time IL
saved, The pile may be brushed up with
a soft brush If very badly injured. The
first mode is recommended only for
slightly damaged velvet, The dust
should be brushed or shaken out before
resorting TO any action OF heat and any
grease spots removed by benzine.

There is a faction in some parties,
it has few exemplars in this town,
who believe whatever man is not a
member of the Republican party is
either fool or a nobody and that a
real rock ribbed Republican can do no

Pity, only pity for such arises in

man like Folk be elected governor

and personal antics create a laugh

Joseph W. Folk and of course there is
apprehension that Folk will lose out

1t is unfortunate that theRepub blican

There is only one method to grade
street properly. 1t is to set the
grade ard then curb such street and
grade to the curbing. This thing of
throwing dirt on the street and per-

every city in the land curbing is done

street is selected for curbing and
