Meet After Long Separation.

John Hilangstiihlar of Bonneville
and Henry Hilangstiihlar of Erick-
shot, Germany, who had not seen
each other for forty-two years, met
recently. John Frederick Hilangstii-
hlar left his home in Germany forty
two years ago. He went to New Or
leans and subsequently located at
Bonneville. In all these years the
brothers had carried on very little
correspondence and they had passed
from each others memory. The broth
err from Arkansas had become thor
oughly Americanized during his long
stay in this country and had lost his
hold on his mother tongue. The one
from Germany could only talk in the
language of his country. This made
the meeting of the two somewhat
ludicrous and also necessary for the
little daughters of the German broth
er to act as Interpreters.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

If alum is added to the paste used in
covering boxes with paper or for scrap
books moths or mice will not invade
them.
Ink and fruit stains may be removed
from white linens and cottons by soak
ing them for a few hours in kerosene.
then washing in hot water.
Allow a shorter raising for bread to
be cooked by steam, since the dough
will rise during the cooking because of
the lower temperature employed.
You can free moth-infested closet of
the Creatures" larvae and eggs, by
pouring hot vinegar into red-hot from
or tin pan set upon hot bricks in the
closet. Shut the door as soon as the
vinegar Kisses upon the heated surface
of the pan and don't open again that
day.
In shaking blankets care must always
be taken to catch them about foot from
the selvedge, otherwise risk is run of
tearing them.
Skewer baked fish with thin slices of
salt pork or bacon. Fresh fish will be
improved in flavor if fried in fat used
previously for the same purpose.
Coffee and tea stains, if rubbed with
butter and afterward washed in hot
soapsuds, will come out, leaving the
table linen quite white and fresh.
To have ones kitchen free from
smoke or odor when frying griddle
cakes try adding one teaspoonful of
melted lard to the batter and do not
grease the griddle.
If you suspect that pickles have been
colored with copper, you can satisfy
yourself with a very simple test. Put
some pieces of the pickle into a vial
containing mixture of equal parts of
ammonia and water. If there is any
copper present the liquid will become
blue in color.-Chicago Daily News.

ABOUT FLOOR COVERINGS.
Denim May Be Used to Cover Center
of Worn Carpet-Rugs of
Homemade.

1t is real economy to cover the
floor of two or more rooms with the
same kind of carpet, then when they
become worn through the center the
best part can be put together to make
one carpet.
Many housekeepers use large
| quare of denim in the middle of the
room when the floor is covered with
a thin carpet, or with one that is bad
ly worn. 1t saves the carpet wonder
fully and is made by sewing several
widths of denim together. Be sure
and select denim that will go well
with the carpet. 1t is said that denim
itself makes a very satisfactory floor
covering for bedrooms if several thick
nesses of paper are placed underneath.
1t is a real blessing to the careful
housewife that rugs continue to be
SO popular as floor coverings, as there
are so many ways of making them at
home by using the cast-off and out
grown garments. 1t is good plan to
have the carpet balls woven into rugs
instead of the old fashioned rag car
pets.
The rugs look very neat and pretty
If they have a solid middle of some
plain color with a contrasting border.
The middle may be of the hit and
mix and the border of a plain color.
l saw two very handsome rugs recent
ly. One had the middle of solid
green with a rich dark red border.
The other had a blue center with
striped white border.
White and faded cotton pieces can
be colored any of the bright shades
with the diamond dyes for cotton and
the faded wooden pieces with the dyes
for wool. The woven rugs are much
easier to make than any other home
made rug, all that IS needed is to cut
the rags evenly, sew and wind them
into balls, and for a few cents yard
the carpet weaver will do the rest

Valuable Barn Burned,

The barn on the J. H. Krickell
place, II miles northwest of Helena,

ed grain, peas and other feedstuffs.

Receiver Appointed.

Charles Mckee of the Mercantile
Trust Company of Little Rock has
been appointed by Judge Trieber of
the Federal Court receiver of the
Park Hotel Company of Hot Springs.
The receiver was appointed upon the
application of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank of Chicago, which
brought suit some time ago to fore
close a mortgage which was execut-
ed by the Park Hotel Company to Sc
cure bond issue of 100000. 1t was
alleged in the complaint that the no.
tel company had defaulted on the in
terest and that under the terms of
the mortgage the entire amount of
the bond issue became payable at
once. No application was made
for a receiver at the time the
suit was instituted. The Park
hotel, which is one of the largest in
Hot Springs, is now operated under
a lease which will not expire for sew
eral years, and no change will be
made in the management of the prop
erty.

Gift to Y. M. c. A.

In accordance with agreements,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Lane have exc
cuted a deed to the trustees of the
Young Mems Christian Association
for the lot at the corner of Main
street and Jefferson avenue at Jones'
boro. F. B. Ship, secretary of Miss
Helen Gould in the Southwest, was
in that city and at meeting of the
Board of Directors of the association
was authorized to negotiate at once
with Mr.. Link of ST. Louis to draw
plans for the Young Mems Christian
Association building at Jonesboro.
AS soon as these plans have been
made and approved by the Building
Committee, contracts will be let and
work will commence. Mr.. Ships
mission in the city was to assist the
board in it's work for plans and in
suggestions as to conduct of the build
ing and operation and also to confirm
an offer made by Miss Gould of $1,000
for library and $500 for baths, this
to be conditioned on the giving of
$1,000 by the employees of the Cotton

Division Point. Decided.

1t is said upon good authority that
the division Offices of the White Riv-
er branch of the Iron Mountain are
to be moved from Aurora, Mo-, to Cot
ter within thhe next 80 days. This
will make Cotter the big division
point OF the line, and means much
for that young town. 1t was rumor-
ed that Crane would be the division
point, but it has since been announ-
ced that tibet place will be only loo
al freight division point. 1t is also
said that 20 new train crews will be
stationed at Cotter after June l,
which probably means that more
trains are to be put on the White Riv-
err division, among the number will
be a passenger train each way daily.
At the time the White River line was
being built it was said that after the
road was in thorough operation there
would be So trains daily over the line.
This seems probable if the Missouri
Pacific handles all it's Southern traf-
fic over the White River line, as it is
the shortest and fastest way to the
South at present.
