CURES TIGHT DOORS.
Furniture Man Tells How to Open
 Dresser Drawers That Stick.

From the Chicago Tribune. Patrons come to me every day and say that the drawers of dressers and other furniture stick fast and cannot be opened or shut without great difficulty said the complaint man. in a downtown furniture store This is a trouble with which much furniture, especially that which is new and is especially common in the spring.
 What do we do in such cases? We simply tell the customers to wet the surface of bar of common laundry soap and rub 1t firmly over the parts of the wood that stick This makes the surface smooth and slippery, and in nearly all cases the drawer will slide easily, es- pecially after it has been opened and shut few times
 "This also is valuable with doors which. in new flats, are likely to settle or are apt to scrape at the top as the building set ties. Just use soap on them and save the trouble of calling in carpenter, who will plane the varnish off.
 "China cabinet doors. with curved glass causes us a lot of trouble, but most of the tightness can be remedied by the use of soap and a few applications of sand paper'
 The furniture man gave another help full hint
 "If mission furniture. with the dull finish, loses it's smooth surface and char acterstic waxy appearance" he said, "do not despair and send 1t to the renovator. Take pound cake of common floor wax and rub 1t over the surface until the finish Is restored. If you have no floor wax use beeswax and If you prefer something made especially for the purpose, you can buy liquid preparations one of which will remove the old finish. leaving the table top or other object ready for the appli- cation of the other substance. which will duplicate the original finish"

HOUSES WITH CLOCKS A-PLENrY.
Forty Timepleces in One House Not

From the Washington Post. 20 ty clocks in one house is not uncom mon," said clockmaker. ''A.ino5t any large house will have from fifteen clocks up to twenty and thirty. How are So many clocks kept In good running order?" repeated the clockmaker. "Easily enough. No one in the house Is supI osed to touch or wind single clock That duty is left to the clockmaker. 'I spend one day each week wini,ng clocks In one house alone in this city an hour and a half of my time eacn week is taken up in winding the clocks. Of couise, I regulate them. too.

EVERYTHING BUT LOVE.
The Late Hon. John Hays Views on
 Counting.

From ,"Thc Blood Seedling' in Lippn-
 cotts.
 There is not country bred man or woman now living but will tell you that life offer nothing comparable with the innocent zest of that old style of courting that was done at singing school in the starlight and candlelight of the first half of our century. There are few hearts so withered and old but they beat quicker sometimes when they hear. in old fashioned churches. the waiing, sobbing exultmg strains of Brad street. or China or Coronation" and the mind floats down on the current of these old melodies to that fresh young day of hopes and illusions-of voices that were sweet, no matter how false they sang-of nights that were rosy with dreams. no matter what Fahrenheit said of girls that blushed without cause, and of lovers who talked for hours about everything but love.

It is just such small points which must be noted and reported. It is not always easy to witn. draw without purchasing, especially 1T one visits the same establishment several times but a versatile woman can always find loophole for escape.
 A fashionable dressmaker, bringing over a large number of models each sea son, when asked If she was obliged to resort to this practice, said

No, indeed. Such remark is immediately reported to headquarters, and secret service empoye is at once sent 10 the store quoted by the customer.
 Ut is simply astonishing how many utter falsehoods are told by eminently respectable women. The moment they want to buy thing they seem to lose all sense of honor 1t is very com mon thing to have a customer name d certain store as having this or that gar ment exactly like that carried by us and at less price Investigation often proves that they have no such model and have never had such a garmen. in stock.
