A housekeeper who was recon-
mended to try cucumber peeling as a
remedy for cockroaches strewed the
floor with pieces of the peel, cut not
very thin, and watched the sequel.
The pests covered the peel within a
short time SO that it could not be
seen, so vigorously were they en-
gagged in sucking the poisonous mo1s-
ture from it. The second night that
this was tried the number OF cock
reaches was reduced to quarter and
none was left alive on the third
night.

one that proved itself great success.
We had just moved out from the city
to a three-acre piece of land, and
like most 'town farmers" we wanted
to make our three acres give us every
thing. One of the first things we in
tended to be independent about was
our butter. We had bought a good
Jersey and she was giving us nearly
three gallons a day, so we had lots
of cream, but hadn't bought churn.
Said my wife:

cream freezer?"
being made in that utensil. She said
that didn't matter; she didn't see why
It shouldn't be. So we poured two
quarts of nice, rich cream into the
freezer and turned the crank. Well,
to cut long story short, the cream
became butter-at last, but it was a
long trip-nearly two hours.
The fact that the butter did ''conac,'

The ParIor

The modern parlor should occupy
a place midway between the dark
hair-clothed room of the Puritan days
and the overfurnished one of more re-
cent years.
In fact, in many homes the parlor
approaches more nearly living room,
and should be furnished according to
those lines. In this case comfort and
durability as well as artistic taste
should be consulted in the furnish.

apart by itself into which the family
seldom went, chairs and sofas were
selected with little thought of afford
strange incongruities are found in
them.
No piece of furniture should be Sc
lected with more care than the chair.
1t is not enough that it should be
pleasing to the eye, 1t should be
healthful, durable and comfortable.
An authority on this subject selected
five chairs, the prototypes of which
are still found in many of the living
rooms and parlors of today, and char
acterized them as veritable monstros-
tiles.
A heavy upholstered chair without
arms or rockers was denounced as
the worst possible from the viewpoint
of health. Such chairs are dust
catchers and retain dangerous germs.
The three-cornered chair was describ-
ed as a freak apology, being neither
comfortable nor ornamental, while

chair costs more than those just men,

deal less, and in nothing can good and
tastes be so easily displayed as In
the selection of chairs.
Another important feature or the
parlor living room includes the walls,
the draperies and the rug, which
should bear such relation to one
another that they will furnish a hstr-
monious background for the rest OF
the furnishings.
The color of the wall is the all
important thing, and this Is mainly
determined by the size, the position
and the lightness of the room. A
modern parlor living room was pa

A Loving Word

There's nothing like a loving word

True PoIiteness

Volumes have been written on the
etiquette of social and official lie, and
few people would attempt to mlngle
in their great whirlpools without
learning the prescribed rules OF con-
ventional decorum. 1t is In the every
day or home life that all are most
remiss. And while there are few set
rules for meeting the trifiing incidents
that crowd upon one another day al
ter day. there is broad general prln-
chile which covers the whole subject
and is set forth in this Old couplet:
"True politeness is to do and to say
The kindest things in the klndesr
way"
A writer on etiquette prefaces his
volume by saying tnat every one
should learn that the Christian WON
an who shows in her daily life that
she possesses the fruits of the Holy
Spirit. to all intents and purposes is
a true lady. An irreligIous woman
never can have this bearing. She may
be polished and Observant OF form,
but in all those emergencies that
show the loftier points of character
she will be frigid and insensible as
marble
1t is much easier to show the proper
Difference to the feelings OF our
EQUALS or superiors than to those be-
meath us in social position or author.
ity. But the truest culture is shown
In the latter case. 1t does not require
much self-control or kindness OF heart
for Marie to assure her wealthy girl
friend that her accidental breaking
of a rare vase is a mere nothing-that
she never will give it another thought
The wealthy friend need not spenc
sleepless nights over 1t, for she car

some other way make up the loss te
Marie. But should the friendless
penniless maid meet with the same
accident it would be real heroism fol
Marie to assure the distressed CIR
that she knew it was an accident ant
that she must not worry about it. The
anxiety of replacing the broken treas

would be allayed, and a feeling of mu
tual good will established between
her mistress and herself.

Household Hints

HOuSenOl0 Hints
Soap and wood ashes is excellent
for cleaning zinc tubs and pals.
Mud stains can be removed from
silk if the spots are rubbed with a
bit of flannel, or, perhaps, if stub
born, with a piece of linen wet with
alcohol
The scrubbing brush must always
be moved up and down the boards
according to the grain of the wooo.
not across. Care must also be taken
not to leave a mark when changing
from one part to the other.
The inartistic gold and silver rad
iatOrs bid fair to become thing OF
the past, as radiators are now being
painted to match the room-that is,
white if the paint is white and the
natural color if the woodwork is un-
painted.
To keep bread in good condition try
lining the breadbox with paper,
creasing il so as to fit well in the
corners. The bread will stay fresh
much longer and will not mold so
rapidly. The paper should be renewed
several Llln0S week.
Did you ever see a dainty little
cheesecloth baby quilt all hump after
one or two washings? If, instead Of
cotton batting, two or three layers of
soft old blanket are used and tackled
as usual this will not happen. If it's
the first baby and everything in the
house is brand new" surely some
older housekeeper friend will be glad
to give you one of her nearly worn
out blankets.
Leather-coyered chairs may be
cleaned with a preparation made by
mixing together half pound each of
French chalk and fuller's earth, two
ounces of powdered starch and one
ounce of yellow ochre. Wet with boil
ing water until thin paste is made
and add tablespoonful of sweet oil.
When it is cold spread on the leather
and let it remain until perfectly dry.
Then brush it off, removing every par
ticle of the mixture, and polish the
leather with melted wax and turpen-
tine, using four ounces of wax to
a gill of turpentine. The leather may
be darkened if so desired by adding
a little oil to the wax.
When laundering lace curtains if a
creamy shade is desired add clear
! strong coffee to the starch.
i Handkerchiefs and towels can be
bleached by washing in the usual
manner and then letting them stand
over night in a solution of one-hali
teaspoonful of cream of tartar to each

THE GAYFUL Guy
AND HIS BENEFIT

There is something doing every
minute and there Will be something
doing every minute as long as Guy
Livingston stays here.
However, during the past few weeks
Guy has kept his fun all bottled up and
he's going to pull the stopper and let it
fly on next Thursday and Saturda J
evenings at the benefit that is to be
given him by the amateurs of Homo
lulu. It will be worth seeing, there is
no doubt about that.
For the last time for many moons
the public will be given an opportu-
nifty TO see Bob White and Guy work
together in a local show. Bob is going
to the Z. S. S. Chicago and Guy leaves
TO visit Colorado and see it he can not
get stronger and better. For Guy is
not a well man. For some time past
his friends have been worried about
him and at last they decided to give a
benefit, that they might send him up
into the high mountains to see if he
would not lose that cough that is both
ering them.
Yes. there is no doubt about it. Guy
is a good fellow and one who has done
a great deal for Honolulu. And now
the time has come for all to show hirp
that they appreciate what he has done
for them. It is only a small thing and
it means a great deal Attend the
musical benefit to be given August 81
and II at the Opera House.
To attend will ~ no act of charity
remember that. The show is worth all
that is said of it. 1t will be one of
the best ever given in Honolulu for any
purpose. All of the star amateurs
will be in the cast and after weeks
of careful, systematic training they
have developed into chorus and MN
strel show of AL character
Then there are other stunts that are
worth seeing. The Brewers" from
the Zoo. a quartet and other numbers
will make up the second part of it all.
Remember, the show viii open Thurs
day evening and will be repeated Sat
urday evening with new gags. Box
office will open on Monday at Wall.
