New Uses For Soap.

Whenever the windows refuse to
go up and down without a greal
deal of tuggging and pulling, OF
bureau drawers seem to stick, brown
soap is friend in need.
Take ont the drawer and rub the
soap on the runners and the grooves
in which the drawer is hung, and
after pushing the window up as
far as it will go. rub the soap on
the sash, OF take the window out
entirely and rub the soap on the
edges If the windows are taken
out and all the ropes and the edges
of the cleaned windows are rabbed
with soap. there will be no trouble
with them for a year, when the
soap may be renewed.
Brown soap may be used to adj
vantage anywhere in the house,
since it has no offensive odor, is
extremely clean, and is most die
Coursging to bugdom. The odo,
of perspiration can be effeotuslly
removed on the warmest day of the
year by its use. For this purpose
it is far more effective than per-
fumed of toilet soap. and is kept
by many "Bho know" in the BATH
room for this purpose.
Soap shavings or email lump of
yellow soap tucked into a mouse
hole will prevent the temperance
of the mouse.
A little soap mixed with stove
blacking produces a better and
more enduring luster, with less
work than bIaoking without it.
Both plated and solid silver may
be cleaned by letting it stand three
or four hours in hot water in which
a handful Of borax and a quarter
bar of yellow soap has been cut up
and dissolved. This method does
not wear off the plate as does the
ordinary method.
A poultioe of soap and sugar
will draw a swelling on the finger
to a head in a few hours. and the
came pouItice will draw splinter
from finger or nail.

religious things were not forgotten.
The first harvest festival was ushered
in with prayer and the giving Of
thanks The Indians were mainly
friendly, aud King Massasoit and his
retainers were hidden to the festivities
with that New England hospitality
which has continued ever since. Long
winded prayers there were, without
doubt, to which the impassive Indians
listened with stolid calm. A man who
could not pray for one solid hour with
out repeating himself was not consid-
cred OF much account those days. and
it is pretty certain that the endurance
of the worshipers was tested that day.
So dawned and waned the first Thanks
giving.
The first national observance of the
day followed the proclamation of
President George Washington, issued
In January, 1885. 1t will be read with
interest, as it was the first real 'crow'
that our forefathers permitted them
selves after the stirring times OF the
Revolution. It was as follows:

which duitct 30 many Ottet uht1OhS, the

THE REPUBLICS OF PANAMA AND

The Republic of Panama has made
oyertures to Costa Rica looking to
union Of the two nations, and in the
opinion of those in a position to speak
with authority a coalition is the prob
able outcome of the negotiations now
instituted. The first definite news of
the purpose of Panama to propose an
nexation to Costa Rica reached the
State Department, at Washington, in
the form of communication from
United States Consul General Lee, who
reported that Senior de la Guardia,
Panama Minister of Foreign Affairs,
is about to visit San Jose, the capital
of Costa Rica, with the purpose Of ne
gotiating a treaty of annexation to
that country.
The offer of the Republic of Panama
causes no surprise to Costa RIGA, and

garded as impossible by the Costa
