FURNITURE.'
Some Hints About How to Keep Il In
Proper Condition.


Some Hints About How to Keep Il In
Proper Condition.
To be in proper condition a piece Of
furniture must shine as though lust
polished.
1t can easily be made to do this If it
is rubbed weekly with a mixture of
one-Quarter vinegar and three-quarters
prepared table top oil.
Apply this with flannel, polish with
a large piece and then finish polishing
with fresh flannel. A brisk sponging
In cold water. Immediately wiped OF,
is said to restore the gloss to rosewood
when it has assumed gray film.
Gilt furniture is cleaned with cream
Of alcohol and sifted whiting. If spot
does not come of at once touch it
lightly with alcohol. Deep dirt or tar
nish needs to be washed with borax
suds, wiped dry and then covered with
the whiting and allowed to dry on. Re
move this with stiff brush later and
polish with soft leather.
Vermin in upholstery can be removed
by injecting beneath the covers solu-
ton Of white carbolic acid and tur-
pentine, one-flfth being carbolic.
Nothing is 80 destructive Of furni-
ture as too much dry furnace heat. It
may prove helpful to keep large bowl
Of water in the room, so that the air
may absorb moisture from it.-Home

TASTE IN THE HOME.

Do Not Mix Costly With Common
place FurnishinGs.
Nothing so clearly evidences the re-
finement Of home as daintily served
meals. The room may be plain and
cheaply furnished. the table linen
coarse, the tableware inexpensive, yet
an air of refinement is quite possible,
and there need be no hesitation in Of
fering such hospitality to people in any
walk Of life, says the Philadelphia Bull
letin.
It is better to have home harmOni-
Gus throughout than to mix costly and
commonplace furnishings. French chi
ma and cut glass in any appreciate
quantity belong to deep purses that do
not feel the results Of accidents. They
require too much care to make them
desirable for homes where there is no
body to help the mistress of the estab-
lishment. To secure the greatest
amount of comfort at the least expendi-
ture of strength and time ought to be
problem worth studying, and to further
it's solving there are all sorts of aids,
like ready made sheets and pillowcases,
bed puffs, cheaper than one can buy
materials and make them at home; in
expensive washable materials for dra-
peries and couch pillows and host Of
other things.

TAKES THE PLACE OF WINDMILL
Pet Mule Pumps Water for Cattle Un-
til 1t Dies of Old Age.

CONGRESS, Ohio June 14-William
N. Stanley, a farmer and large land
owner in Congress township, had a
niue. Now the mule is dead, and there
by hangs a tale. Stanley had to buy a
windmill on account of the demise of
the long cared equine"
For some time it was a mystery to
Stanley how the large herd of stock ne
owned was watered, nor would they
drink when he pumped the trough full
and drove them to it. Investigation de-
veloped the fact that a favorite mule,
probably reasoning from cause to eff
feet, would go to the old log pump at
different intervals during the day, take
the pump handle in his powerful jaws,
and would work it vigorously until the
trough was filled. The cattle would
then Stake their thirst.
Stanley says that after ne learned
this he watched, and thought he could
see look of disgust on the mules face
when it returned to the pump and
found the trough empty and the cattle
standing around with their tongues
hanging out from thirst. In order to
better utilize the mules efforts in be-
half of his brute bretneren and in aid
of his owner, Stanley had pump
handle made especially and covered
with leather, after which he paid alb
of the stock.
AS the mule died of old age, Stanley
claims that the Osler theory of USE
fulness in old age does not apply to
mules.

LAUNDRY LINES.

Dish towels should always be washed
by themselves.
A little borax in the last rinsing wa
ter will make handkerchiefs easier to
iron and look better when done.
Two conveniences for ironing day are
the small iron, only about four inches
from tip to tip, for ironing lace and
embroidery and the pointed iron for
ironing gathers and shirt waist sleeves.
In ironing handkerchiefs it is useful
to remember that the middle should be
ironed first To iron the edge first
causes the middle to swell out like a
balloon and makes it difficult to iron
satisfactorily.
A laundress recommends inclosing
knitted or crotched articles that are to
be washed in a bag during the whole
process Of washing and rinsing, saying
this prevents the stretching Of the
yarn, which gives the article the objec-
tionable "stringy" appearance.

from David Rabbit, af ormer wealthy
real estate broker of Auburn, went
through 100000 in the wooing of Miss
Bessie May Skeer, one of the Babes
of Toyland" company, whom he mar
ried here.
Miss Skeer is the daughter of Alonzo
G. Skeer Of Fort Wayne, Ind. Rabbit
met Miss Skeer year ago and was so
infatuated that he followed the COM
pany around with a party Of friends
who did the honor of borrowing large
sums of money from him. When later
they failed to pay it back, he brought
suits against them which are still
pending. All the time the money was
going ne never lost sight of the Babe"

CRIME OF RAPE COULD NOT BE
PROVEN AGAINST THE COL
LEGE PLACE MAN
Although Morally Certain That Crime
Had Been Committed, Attorney
Wilson Dismisses Case.

Although morally certain that the
accused was guilty Of a crime, Prose-
cutting Attorney Wilson yesterday con-
scented to the dismissal of the rape case
against Frank Kline, of College Place,
who was arrested a week ago on a
charge of criminal assault committed
on his little niece, Clara Dodge. A
physical examination of the little girl
failed to develop the fact that crime
had been committed, but the authori-
ties mad undisputable evidence that
Kline and the girl were seen in COM
promising position in an orchard near
College Place several weeks ago. The
little girl had evidently been coached,
as to the testimony she was to give,
for when questioned she denied that
she and her uncle had been together
in an orchard Had a physical exam
nation of the little girl proven that
crime had been COMMITTED, Kline
would have been prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
