active politics for good. 1t is not prob
able that Pennsylvania will soon have
another man in the senate like Quay. He
was one Of theworst hated and best liked
men in Washington. Though he figured
prominently in national politics and
was considered as one Of the leaders
Of his party, he has but few notable
achievements to his record as a legis-
lator, and never played a conspicuous
role In the deliberations OF the senate.
II was but seldom that he was to be
found in the senate chamber, nor did
he give greater attention to the meet
ings Of the appropriations COMMITTEES,
Of which he was a member.
AS a story teller Quay could always
secure an attentive audience, though
there were but few outside Of eoterie
Of intimate friends who were privileged
to listen to hfs-tAles- 0ne-of the last
stories he told in Washington was re-
lated while standing in the senate
cloakroom, and was intended to illus
trate the high standard Of morality in
the Keystone state According to Quay
an old Pennsylvania Dutehman, a
thrifty but not wealthy farmer, was
elected to the legislature. Several
''meaty" railroad and other corpora
ton measures came up for considera-
ton, and after the session had closed
the old farmer surprised everybody
by buying and paying cash for prop
erty worth $4,000. Some one asked II
a fortune had been ieft to him. "Oh,
no." was the reply. Il have just been
saving money while in Harrisburg al
the legislature" Why, Hans" said
his friend, you could not save $50, 600
IN three months when your salary was
only three dollars a day" "Ah, but
You forget" explained the old man as
he stroked his beard eomplacently

These pictures often carry q joke
too far" he says and to illustrate his
point he tells a little story Of an in
stance which happened in Iowa when
he was a boy;
There was an old Judge on the
bench in my town who was something
Of humOrist in his way. One day he
heard a case In which a new attorney
appeared for the defendant. The young
lawyer pleaded his case most eloquent
ly, but the burden Of proof was against
his client and he lost After the judge
got home that night he received a call
from the counsel for Incidence.
Judge said the young lawyer,
you ruined my life to-day. am start
ing out on my legal career. had a
good case, and before l went into it I
told my client that I would win. II
was my first case, judge, and If l had
won it it would have done me a world
Of good. As it turned out I am a
ruined man
oh, don't feel that way about It,
replied the judge. Just go to your
client and tell him that 1t was all my
fault That 1t was the instructions
gave the jury that lost you the case,
The next time the Judge stepped
out Of the house he found the defend
ant in the case waiting for him with
blood in his eye. IN teach you to in
struct the jury to defeat justice!' he
Numbered, as he pitched into his
honor.

LoNLY WoMEN. LIVE THERE.
Unknown Island In the Caribbean Sea
Said to Be PeOPled BY the
Fair Sex

An Adamless Eden Is said to exist
somewhere in the Caribbean sea, but
Just where 1t is located no one Is able
to tell. There Is an old legend In the
West Indies which has been handed
down from the time OF Columbus to the
effect that somewhere among the nu-
merous cages Of the Caribbean sea there
exists an island inhabited only BY
women.
The aboriginal, Caribs and Ararwaks
found It ineOnvenient to have women
around In times of war. Usually when
the enemy conquered a number OF the
tribes fairest maiden we're carried on.
So goes the story.
The deplOrable possibility Of losing all
the women OF the tribe was averted'
however, by the prompt action Of the
chiefs, who ordered all Of the remain
ing female element to this unknown is
land in the Caribbean. According to the
legend the place Is cOpiOusly watered by
ideal streams, oYershadOWed by bread
fruit, mango, plantain and all the neces-
saries to life and poetry. The husbands
and lovers were allowed to visit the IS
land paradise not more than twice year
in times Of peace.
But Il Is further handed down that
all the men Of the tribe were eventually
wiped out in an Indian war, and that all
trace Of the isle of women was lost Ae-
cording to Washington Irving, even
Columbus made vain efforts to find II.

HOW TO WASH FLANNELs.
Few Housewives Know How to Do It,
Although It Is q Task That
Is Easily Mastered.

Flannel underwear Is warm and COM
Portable, but IL we DO not wish to find
the suit that was purchased for the
father shrunken to the proper size for
the son after a few washings, we must
see that the work is done properly.
When the soiled garments are gath
cred together, look them over. darning
the tiny breaks and replacing missing
buttons. Shave a bar Of white soap
hin, put in q pan with water enough
to. cover, and set IL on the FIRE to melt
Yellow soap should not be used, as IL
contains resin, which hardens the wool.
Have an abundance Of salt, hot water
in which powdered bOrax has been dis
solved, using a quarter Of q pound to q
boilerful, and have everything in read
mess before you begin. Fill a small
tub half full Of water and pour enough
Of the melted soap in II to make strong,
foamy suds. Stir 1t well. and after shak-
ing the clothes TO remove the dust put
them in. Rub and press them lightly
between the hands, then fold each piece
and press Il through the Wringer into a
suds prepared like the first After wash
ing through this, rinse well and hang
up TO dry. Never rub soap directly upon
flannel Keep the water the same tenn
perature throughout the process, and do
the work quickly. White hannels do
not turn yellow II borax Is put in the
water in which they are washed, and It
eleanses them quickly. Take them from
the line and press before they are quite
dry.-MlWaukee Sentinel.

publications from every department OF
the government.
Though not a member Of the senate
committee on printing Senator Hoar
has nevertheless shown a greater In
terest in the printing once than mem
bers Of that committee, and records
his vote for every appropriation Tor It's
maintenance or expansion. he was
strongly In favor of cOndemning the
old government printing once ana
erecting q new one, and urgently
worked for that end before 1t was nnal-
~ accomplished.
In some respects Senator Hoar Is
like Lincoln. He has a way OF Illus
trating a point with a story. To Illus
trate the condition Of the old govern
ment printing once he has several
times told the following story, which
is an incident Of his early law Prae-

CARE FOR ORIENTAL RUGS.
They Require Treatment That Would
Not Do for Wilton or Brussels
Floor Coverings.

The oriental rug Is improved by ire
uuent summing and also by an annual
or semi-annual bath. The colors made
Of vegetable dyes cannot fade, and the
process of washing only improves the
texture Of the wool. Even q new rug
is washed by the Turkish woman to
better bring out the luster Of the ma
teriRl.
In the orient these rugs are cleaned
entirely by shaking and washing, but
are never beaten. When beating is
necessary it should be done on the
face side, as there is danger when
beating on the wrong side Of breaking
the threads. The best plan is to lay
right side up on the grass and to beat
thoroughly with light rattan heaters.
After the dust is taken or beaten
out small rugs can be put in tubs Of
plain cold water. Then the surface
may be gone over with q brush and
sandsoap, always being sure to rub
with the warp. Large rugs can have
the garden hose turned on them with
wonderful cleansing effect, after which
they should be dried in the sun
In winter an excellent plan is to
sweep them on the snow, scattering it
over them and sweeping it on again
several times, always working with
the threads. The sweeper should al
ways be used in the same direction,
never turning it backward.
This process Of cleaning is much
safer for these rugs than sending them
to the steam cleaners, where the
threads are in danger Of being snapped
by the rapidly turning machinery.
