lhere are unmistakable signs that President
Roosevelt's strenuous efforts to impose the Car
regle detormed spelling upon the national govern
ment and through'it upon the American people
VIII fail and that this fad which so fascinates the
executive will no longer plague those who insist
upon the use of authoritative and correct orthog-
raphy
On Friday last work on the legislative judicial
and executive appropriation bill was completed and
the measure reported to the house of representa-
tiVes 1t contains provision prohibiting the use
OF the so-called "simphed spelling in public docu-
ments authorized by law ordered bv congress-"
This bill makes appropriations amounting in
the aggregate to S3I,ooo.ooo and if passed in the
form III which it from the committee that
framed it neither the presidents messages nor any
other public document printed under the authority
OF the national government will be defaced bv de
formed spelling.
Printing of messages of the president is "au-
thorized by law, and if this appropriation bill is
adopted with its spelling provision as now appears
practically certain. these messages must appear
i'll the recognized spelling
Ii will then be squarely up to the president to
decide whether he will doom the Carnegie fad TO
deserved extinction by approving the bill, or
whether he will attempt TO prolong its existence BY
exercising the veto power.
There is little likelihood however that the
president will 60 to the extreme OF holding UP an
important appropriation measure in order to show
the depth of his devotion to the freakish and fan
tastic spelling which has gained such strange and
strong hold upon his fancy.

CLEANING OF CARPETS.

The following method OF cleaning car
pets has been thoroughly tested and was
secured from professional source. First
have the carpet cleaned in the usual way
and tackled down on the floor where IL is
TO remain permanently. Take one and
half pounds OF the best white laundry
soap, ane-half pound of white oak bark,
three-fourths OF a pound OF borax, one
fourth OF pound OF fullers earth. one
half OF a pint OF good alcohol, one-half
roform and four gallons Of water. Tie up
the bark I'm a piece OF thin material, and
boil In two gallons OF water for four
hours. Keep boiling water at hand to re-
place that lost by evaporation. Now re-
move the bag add the soap, shave fine,
the boraX and the fuller's earth and let
simmer until all are dissolved; then add
the other two gallons OF water, which
should be boiling hot, and when partly
cool add the alcohol ammonia and chloro-
form. This quantity will clean thirty
yards Of carpet
To clean. dip out a cupful OF the prepa-
ration, put II on the carpet. spread it,
and scrub with an ordinary bristle scrub
bing brush. The spot scrubbed will be COW
cred with lather, but the carpet will not
wet through. When all the dirt has been
removed scrape the lather into a heap and
take 1t up with a scraper which can be
had OF any house furnishing store or a
shingle with a smooth edge will answer
very well When the lather has been re-
moved go over the carpet with a sponge
wrung out OF clean water and dry with
a cloth.

NOT YET BEATEN.

If the policyholders of the New York
Life and Mutual Life think they have
whipped the grafters out OF those COM
panies they are fondling sorry delusion
The old Mccall and McCurdy trustees

is mistake to suppose that a group OF
n.en having enormous wealth and great
army Of agents at their disposal will be
easily driven out OF power by a sudden
protest by those they have been robbing
for third OF q century. Such a suppo-
stion Is all the more foolish when the
men who are fighting to hold what they
have are In danger OF going to Jail In ad-
dition To losing control OF the billion doll
lars OF funds they now control.
10 IS known that the policyholders have
not yet accomplished the defeat OF the
rings in these two life insurance COM
panies. Only two weeks remain in which
the policyholders can perform this duty.
They would better set their votes in!-

WALK CHARACTER.

Quick steps are indicative OF energy and
agitation.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion, or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with pre-
occupied, absent minded persons
The mlser's walk Is represented as stoop-
ing, noiseless, with short, nervous, anxious
steps.
Slow steps. whether long or short. sug-
gest a gentle or reflective state of mind.
as the case may be.
Where a revengeful purpose is hidden
under a feigned smile the step will be
Sinking and nolseless.
Wavering and changeable steps betray
uncertainty hesitation and indecision
Obstinate people, who I'm an argument
rely more on muscularity than on intel
lectual power. rest the feet fiatly and firm
ly on the ground walk heavily and slow
ly. and stand with the legs firmly planted
and far apart.
The proud step Is slow and measured: /:
the toes are conspicuously turned out:

SENATOR DEPEW.

Two things may be deduced from the
Hon. Cha uncey NJ. Depews survey of his
career of 80 years OF adulation and two
years OF weighing him in the balance.
one is that, presuming on the brevity
OF the public memory, he assumes that
he has lived his nOtOricty down and can
resume his old standing as an American
senator: and the other Is that he deems
himself TO be good enough to represent
the state OF New York in spite OF tnat mo-
toriety.
Mr.. Depew says that for 80 years he
had nothing but fattery and praise
from the press In a measure that Is
true. But the press had not found Mr..
Depew out lie was too well intrenched
behind his "57 varieties" more or less) or
directorates. Moreover he manufactured
much OF the hattery and praise himself.
As his own press agent he never had an
equal But the amazing thing after all
Is that he has come out Of the ordeal of
censure and judgment with not feather
OF his egotism and impudence wiltcd.

mai type The law books presume that

right and wrong. Dcpew at - cannot

as rehablitated, although the demand for
his resignation Is louder than ever, he

GALLINGER AND SHIP SUBSIDIES.

An alert, active and powerful lobby is at work
at Washington in the interest of the ship subsidy
bill, which passed the senate at the previous ses-
sion OF congress, and is now in committee in the
house of representatives. That it is not expected
to secure the adoption in concurrence OF the meas
ure in its present form is indicated by report that
comes from the national capital to the effect that
the friends of the Ganger bill are ready to accept
a compromise by which subsidies will be limited
TO shipping engaged in the South American trade.
From this it would appear that Senator Calm
ger and those who are laboring with him believe
any sort OF subsidy, however restricted will be
better than no subsidy at all They, no doubt feel
assured that If the country be committed, even
