ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Compound For Cleaning Rugs, Draper
les and Furniture.

The following recipe makes one of
the finest compounds for cleaning
Smyrna rugs, chenille draperies,
plush covered couches and furni-
'ure, etc, says Boston Cooking
School Magazine:
Shave two and one-half bars of
laundry soap fine and boil until it is
dissolved in one and one-half quarts
of soft water; add half pound of
borax; boil ten minutes longer; steep
three ounces of soap bark in a quart
of water for half an hour and strain !;
add one-fourth of a pint of aqua am
monia, put into quart g cold wa
ter; mix all together and add water
enough to make good six gallons.
Soft water is preferred. Set aside
to cool and cover to keep clean.
When ready to use dust the articles
well and apply with good large
brush, rubbing vigorously; then wipe
with a cloth until quite dry. For
doing large rugs it is desirable to
have two people working, one to fol-
low up with the dry cloth as soon as
d space is rubbed.

Leadess Sounding Apparatus.

A leadless sounding apparatus has
been invented by Norwegian en-
gineer named Berggraf. The under
lying principle is one of acoustics,
involving the propagation Of a
sound wave from the vessel to the
bottom of the sea and back and the
measurement of the time required
for this. The process is really the
measurement Of the time between
the making Of the sound and the re-
ceipt Of the echo sent back from
the oceans floor. Both the sending
of the sound and the registering
of the receipt are done by electrical
apparatus.

Packing Away Clothes.

Never hang a skirt by the bot
tom. Fasten it at the back and
suspend it evenly from two loops
sewed on either side of the band.
If possible secure for it a wire skirt
form, as the results are more salts
factory. Always hang a skirt at
full length, whether for an hour or
for several months.
If there are ribbon trimmings on
the clothes the ends should be roll
ed and pinned and the loops stuffed
with tissue paper, which is inyalua-
bic in putting away clothes for a
season. All metal trimmings and
buttons should be carefully covered
with paper.
Hang clothing always in prefer
cnce to folding, but if there is not
enough closet room pack loosely in
pine chests, trunks or drawers, with
plenty of paper between to avoid
crushing.

tJascaani's Souvenirs.

Siqnor Mascagni and his wife
wear watch fobs alike, and these
have been the occasion OF much Gu
mOus comment.
They are common Italian coins,
each punctured with six holes, in
wlill! are set off bits Of some white
substance. the nature OF which IS
not apparent except on close eXaml-
nation.
These are in reality the teeth OF
he first two Mascagni children, the
teeth of the mothers charm being
ihe first of her little daughter $,
while the proud father wears in his
charm the milk teeth Of his first
born son.
The signora . much surprised at
the comment these unique orna-
ments have occasioned and not long
ago remarked that to her they were
dcarer than any pearls and that she
saw no reason why she should not
wear them if she chose.

Remarkable Wooden Paveyne1ts.

The city Of Hull, England, has
thirteen miles of wooden pavement
and is gradually substituting such
pavement for the granite blocks
hitherto used. 1t is as smooth as
asphalt, but less slippery. After
many experiments with woods from
various parts of the world the city
authorities have settled upon the
jarrah and karri woods from West
ern Australia as the best for the
purpose. They are of dark ma
hogany color. The blocks are cut
to the size Of large bricks and are
carefully laid upon foundation of
cement seven inches thick. Some of
these pavemcnts, laid from seven to
ten years ago, are not yet in need of
reDair.

FloWerpots,

Do not empty pots and put them
away dirty, for the chances are that
they will never get cleaned, and
when cold weather comes plants will
be hustled into them, with all their
pores clogged with old dirt and alb
solutcly unfit for use. When the
plants are bedded out put the empty
pots into a tub Of water, let soak a
few hours, scrub with an old whisk
broom and drain dry, 1t takes but a
little time, and the plants do enough
better in them to pay for the trou-
ble.-National Magazine.

Improved Electric Lamps.

The new year will probably be distin-
glshed in electrical history by the COM
mercial exploitation Of several types Of i'm
proved lamps, which should give a strong
impetus to the extension of electric light
ing in competition with gas In his inaug-
ural address to the Manchester section Of
the Institution of Electrical Engineers
which took the form of a useful summary
OF recent progress, Mr.. S. L. Pearce COM
menced with recital OF the various effects
being made to cheaper electric light by
the contrivance of more economical and
efficient lamps. Engineers whose attention
is more particularly directed to power and
traction work may consider the improve
ment of lighting apparatus a question OF
minor Importance, but the prosperous flu
ture of the vast majority Of central sta
tions in the United Kingdom must be de-
pendent on lamp connections. and there is
stll room for the manifold increase in
this class of business. which was undoubt-
edly arrested by the discovery Of the in
candescent gas mantle. From among the
numerous types-Nernst, Tantalum, os-
MUM, mercury vapor and higher eff
cheney carbon filament lamps, not to mem
ton others In the laboratory stage of which
we have only vague reports from the con-
tinent-there should be at least one ro-
bust survivor able to exercise bene
fetal influence on lighting business. For
main street illumination such deficiencies
as are admitted to exist in arc lamps do
not appear to be beyond the power of
the inventor to remove. One OF the most
obvious improvements called for is the IN

twenty-five cycles will learn with some
satisfaction that twenty-five period
arc lamp has just been placed on the mar
ket which is quite suitable for lighting
open spaces. so that the hitherto unavoid-
able loss due to conversion to direct current
is obviated. The slight pulsation caused
by the low periodicity is not noticeaole
unless the lamp is actually stared at, ana
even If the lamp has to be placed low
for interior lighting this rather trying Ell
feet can be avoided by using the Inverted
type There are a large number OF high
rooted factories in which no inconvenience
need be experienced. and in the meantime
Il NAV be found possible to overcome this
objection to an otherwise very useful type
OF arc lamp We understand that it is the
intention of the Metropolitan railway OF
London to endeavor to utilize the twenty
fve-cycle arc for the lighting OF stations
thereby certainly effecting saving worth
consideration in comparison with the cost
of transformed current for continuous arcs.

to the doctrine that all money should be
Issued by the government, whether coin or
paper, and be made full legal tender and
that the creditor be deprived of the right
to discriminate against any form of money
issued by the government. The coinage
of both gold and silver at a fixed ratio on
equal terms was advocated. IL believed
the public domain should be held and dis
posed of TO actual settlers: that alien
ownership should be prohibited and that
forfeited railroad land grants should be
reclaimed for the benefit of the people
seeking homes. 1t preached the doctrine
of laws for the regulation Of the great
transportation lines in order to insure
equality and prevent discrimination and

ment ownership as the most practicable
and best means OF permanently overcom-

proposed by the Pennsylvania railroad for
this line.
As railroad project It is in more ways
than one unique and is the first contract
Of its kind, far as is known, that has

Of steam lines with electricity in that such
contracts are only for short parts OF the
main line. and in most cases the changes
were lmpelled to facilitate the movement OF
trains in terminals.
About sixty miles Of the line IN all are TO

contract is the necessary power station
equipment which calls for Curtis turbines.
Cars are to be equipped with the sprague-
