CLEANING FURNITURE.
Timely Suggestions for the Customary
Fall Renovating.


The sweeping and busting which takes
place at this time of the year are of most
particular kind. Moisten a cloth and fasten
around a broom just over the broom part.
This will keep the dust from rising and
make che work easier. Sweep always with
long firm strokes away and TO the front of
the sweeper. Always sweep away from and
dust toward the worker. The dust cloths
should be of soft old silk, and nearly every
housekeeper has on hand old umbrella
cases, gowns, petticoats,. waists, ETC., to
furnish silk busters; failing those of silk.
cheesecloth is the next best, but do not use
cloth dampened with water. For var
nished furniture dampen the cloth with
kerosene, but for genuine polished surfaces
a different treatment is required. When the
polished surface of the piano is soiled and
dull looking wet over with paraffln oil and
let it remain for two hours. Apply the oil
sparngly, and at the end of the time polish
with linen and chamois. This is cleaning
however and not busting. Always use two
cloths for busting, one in each hand. Then
every time the left hand rests on polished
surface there will not be left the trace of
soiled fingers and perspira ton. 1t Is a great
mistake not to have on hand so generous a
supply of dust cloths that one can afford to
change very often, for busting furniture
with soiled cloths does much to njure the
finish, especially of polished furniture. For
carved furniture that is dusty use a fine
paint brush, dipped in kerosene oil; brush
over the carvings and they Will appear
bright as when new: or dip the brush in
good furniture polish.
Who is not tormented with white spots
on the dining room table? To remedy have
ready three cloths and three saucers, con-
tanning, one kerosene, one alcohol and one
sweet old. Apply the kerosene first of all.
If kerosene or raw linseed Gil is applied as
soon as the spot is first made it will often
remove it at once. After the stain has been
allowed to stand for some time, however,
first apply the kerosene, then the second

Beauty on the Down Grade.

From the London World.
A warning note is struck by lady. who
has both medical and literary skill. against
the reckless disregard of those laws which
make for beauty. We English are growing
palmer she ayers, simply because we allow
even our children to be affected by the
stress and strain Of modern life The
smartness, the ability to look after them.
selves and the athleticism of the women
and children of the present time spell
physical ruin. Beauty is rarely seen now
adays in its unadorned style. Lovely wo-
men are artificial products, and really love-
ly children are as scarce as auks' eggs. The
reason is that our expressions have grown
anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and mem
bers are strained out of shape by over
exercise, our compilations and hair are
starved for lack of nerve force. The ex-
quisite compilations, luxuriant locks, DELI
cate features and clear, innocent-looking
eyes that one associates with beauty are
so seldom seen as to be quite remarka Bile
when they are, and we are threatened with
still further decrease of these elements of
good looks unless we bring back our girls
to the prunes and prisms style of upbring-
ing, which perhaps after all is the best for
them. The larger life'' certainly has its
drawbacks.

Thus plain or velvet-trimmed cloth gowns
are seen in legions. Some are furbeiowed
to the highest point the expensive French
cloths or cheaper American ones giving re-
suits almost equally handsome. But the
, moment a frock is very plain the material
must be rich to atone for it, and then the
kid-like cloths of the French alone are en-
ployed.
Good Things to Know.
An economical point for dressness with
such gowns is to have the smart shirt
waist and petticoat in gay and matching
silks, which is a trick resorted to by many
Parisiennes of chic tastes and limited in
comes. Every plain street gown seen in

good results is in the shape of wooden

Pretty Fur Sets.
Furry details for such gowns afford much
license for fancy and knacl of fingers, for
number of the fur sets are milliner-made
or fashioned at home. Several manufac-
tured materials are used for these, all of
which initiate furs and are plainly imita-
tons, yet none the less admired for that
Among these new and most wonderful
false skins, which are also employed for
dress trimmings, coats and hats. the
crushed velours, with the markings of baby
lamb, are perhaps the most seen. Many
smart evening coat is constructed of this
pseudo skin.
Ermined rabbit skin turns out inexpensive
scarfs and fiat muffs, which velvet rosettes
and applications further enhance and there
are others of silky plush, so deliciously
like chinchilla that the stimulation Is scarcely
regretted.
Finely Killed falls of chiffon, inclosing
others of lace, give a handsome touch to
the muffs, but the wonderful shading of the
plush alone embellishes many of the scarfs
For the calfskin sets, which are so much
worn, and so beautiful with brown gowns
those who cannot afford the better models
would do well to buy a skin from the fur
rier and fashion them at home. In arranging
the fiat muff it is the furrier and milliner
trick TO allow some effective marking to
come directly in the middle. The calfskin
neck-peces are the tinest cravats, shaped
ends tricked off with ornaments at the
throat, tapping for scarfs
Smart Hats.

CLIPPINGS.

DIR. j. A. Lewis is confined to his
room and at times suffers consider
ably, from a blood-pOisoned finger.
He performed an operation on
patient, while there was u small
scratch on his finger, and the trouble
was communicated through this
source. -Georgetown Times.
y dispatch from Atlanta, Ga,
says that Rev. Henry Mcdonald.
ID. d., was stricken with paralysis
at his home in that city Monday,
and his life is despaired of. He is
aged 20 years. For a number of
years he was pastor of the George
town Baptist church, and later of
he Shelbyville Baptist Church.
He was an Irishman by birth and
one of the most eloquent and, at the
same time, one of the gentlest men
we ever knew.

CLOSE CALL.

Two young men became involved
in difficulty, in Danville, on Tues
day, when Ernest Boner pulled his
gun and shot Carl (Doggie) Nor
man, son of Maj. L. G. Norman, of
this city, squarely in the breast.
The shot was from 3S caliber gun,
and passed through the double
breast of Norman's overcoat and
a heavy undercoat, shirt and Under
shirt, and bruised the skin over the
heart. AS Boner was about TO fire
the second shot his hand was seized
and he disarmed.
But for the heavy clothing young
Norman wore he would have been
instantly killed.
The row started in friendly
scuffle, which finally provoked the
fray.
Noral-If BOner had not had a
gun GllegaD there would have been
no danger.

SLIGHT BLAZE SATURDA Y
AFTERNOON.

Shortly after 3 O'Clock, on Satur-
day afternoon, an alarm called the
fire boys to the Institute for Feeble
Minded Children, on East Main
street, where an inmate had
started fire in bookcase.
The blaze was soon extinguished
with the loss of the bookcase, the
hooks it contained and the floor of
the chapel slightly burned, amount
ing TO about $3.50. But for the
timely discovery of the blaze it
would have proved serious one.
DR.. Hill, assisted by Miss Mary
Brown Duvall, one of the teachers,
ouieted the frantic children by call
ing upon them to 20 through with
some of the calisthenic exercises,
and then marched them out of all
danger.

A LAMENTABLE BLUNDER.

We regret exceedingly to see that
the Governor has vetoed the bill APP
propriating $25, 600 for necessary i'm
prOvements at the State College,
at Lexington. This is a pitiable
and lamentable blunder.
That college is so cramped in it's
quarters for shop instruction for the
students taking the mechanical en-
gineering course that it is impossi-
BILE to give them proper instruction,
and some classes are excluded
from their work until other classes
can complete theirs, creating great
Inconvenience and delay.
The amount asked for by the
curators of the college was $50 600,
which would have put the college
in good shape in all departments.
The first blunder made was by
the Legislature in cutting down the
amount TO $50, eco (when they had
appropriated the same day, 500, 600
for u monument, that could do no
good; and the second, and more
serious blunder, is to veto the bill
giving even the small amount of
$2o, 600,
Alas! that Kentucky should be
governed by partisanship, as
against the enlightened statesman
ship OF the past, that carefully
fostered educational institutions
and let politics wag along and take
care of itself.
