ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Water ard Soap Treatment For Limo
leum Covered Floors.

Clean linoleum floors with luke
warm water and soap. Don't sweep
them, says the New York Telegram.
Lukewarm water should always be
used for this washing, and the soap
should be selected with care, for
none but the purest kinds can be
used without injuring the material
and fading the colors.
Scrubbing is necessary once a
week, and if the apartment is much
used and the floor gets dirty wash
ing twice week is none too often,
for gritty dirt if not removed cuts
into the linoleum and in time wears
it, so that cleaning is essential in
preserving this covering as well as
in keeping it sanitary.
TO clean thoroughly a stiff bris-
tied brush should be used to work
the tepid water and soap into the
pores and scrub out the dirt. Cleans
ing in this way the floor is done in
sections that are mopped up with a
cotton cloth and then Immediately
rubbed dry with woolen rag Limo
leum should be dried as soon as pos
sible after being scrubbed, for wa
ter left standing on it has tenden-
cy to dull the colors and to make
the material sort of soggy.

QUEEN COULDN'T SMILE.

A couple of years ago, when the
king and Queen Alexandra were in
Belfast, the city fathers were pass
ing before them, says the New York
Press. One of the lot, a big, red
faced broker, became embarrassed,
and as he reached his right hand to
the king he held out his left to the
queen. Alexandra was nonplused
for the moment, but her royal
spouse gave her hint with his
elbow, and. she gently shook the big
left paw. The situation was too
much for Edward, and he fairly glf-
fawed. The queens lips parted, as
if she was about to smile, but that
was all.
To a woman who was standing
near the incident revealed the Sc
cret of Alexandra's perpetual youth.
The woman told me she was con-
vinced the queens cheeks were en-
ameled and that she could not smile
without cracking the cast. Think
of the misery she endured with her
liege lord enjoying himself like a
boy at the circus!

A LITTLE NONSENSE.

reosntly uas = charming young
woman from 81 Louis, who was
makihg her first trip abroad. The

the fer passenger approached the

The ship appears to he stopping,

We stop here TO let the pilot
"a, vas the reply.
To lee the pilot OFF," exclaimed
the Young woman in a tone of polite
lneFedulity. "Do YOU mean TO say
that the pilot doesn't cross the ocean
xiih us and direct the course:"
Il mean just that" answered the
captain.
The fair passenger pondered for
q hit. Then smiling as if a bright
idea had occurred to her, she added.
-Oh. | suppose after he has set the
rudder pointing in the right direc.
ton that there's nothing left foi

Freak of a Golf Ball.

One has heard of morsels of straw
being driven clean into solid timber
by the force of a tornado. Some
what similar and equally unex-
plainable was the result of a stroke
at golf made by A. Wyndham
on the famous Westward Ho course
two or three years ago. He found
his ball in a bed of rushes, actually
impaled upon rush, SO that it was
possible to pick up the ball and hold
it suspended upon the rush. That
golf ball, which is almost as hard
as wood, should be spiked in this
fashion upon the point of so brittle
a thing as rush is a most remark
able phenomenon.-London Sphere.

A Time of Suspense.

A traveller in Pennsylvania ar
rived late one night at a small vii
lage hotel and asked for a room. He
was told that the only vacant one
was next to that of very nervous
man whom he must be careful not
to disturb. After going to his room
the newcomer thoughtlessly let fall
one of his shoes, then, recalling the
warning he had received, placed the
other very.carefully on the floor He
had put out the light and retired
when there was a knock on his door.
Opening it, he faced the nervous oc-
cupant of the adjoining room, who
demanded excitedly:
"Why in thunder don't you take
off that other shoe ?"

The origin of ''canard" is said by
Darmesteter, page 56, to be as fol-
lows: In the seventeenth century it
was usual to say, "Vendre a quel-
qu'un un canard a moitie"-i. e.. to
sell person half a duck, meaning it
to pass for whole duck; hence
canard took the sense of lie. Lit
tre says that canard comes from the
old expression. "Vendre un canard
moitie" Ito half sell duck), in
which moitie was subsequently
suppressed 1t is clear that to sell
half duck is not to sell it at all;
hence the sense to take in, make
fool of.-Notes and Queries.

Australia is in the flood tide of
prosperity. Her revenue is nearly
half million sterling in excess of
the estimate, and for the coming
year the various states will receive
back from the commonwealth gov
ernment more than 100000 above
the minimum to which they are en-
titled. The distribution would be
larger still but for the very right
decision of the government to estab-
lish penny postage at home and with
the rest of the empire. Australian
trade is booming. Exports exceed
imports by nearly f20,0O0,00O.-

To Avoid Getting Stuna.

A beekeeper Of New Hampshire
was showing city man his apiary.
The hives were ranged in line on
the side of mountain and the air
was sweet with the smell of clover,
pine trees, carnations.
A bee lit on the keepers hand
angrily, and the man held his
breath.
"Bees can't sting you if you hold
your BREATH" he said afterward.
''To hold the breath closes the pores
of the skin, or something like that.
At any rate, if bee goes for you
hold your breath and I'll guaran-
tee you won't be stung, though the
bee jabs its sting at you till the
thing breaks"

Care of Bath Sponoes.

When the regulation salt water
sponges need cleaning the best plan
to cut the dirt is to soak them in
vinegar for several hours and then
run clean warm water through
them until the acid is all out. They
should then be hung in the sun
shine where they will air and dry.
After each bath sponge should be
washed out with clean hot water
and soap and rinsed with cold water,
then put in place where the air
and sunshine surround it, for unless
sponges are we'll aired they become
sour and disagreeable to use.

Kitchen Don'ts.

Don't litter up a kitchen any
more than YOU can help while get
ting a meal. 1t will take hours to
straighten up after the meal is over.
Don't lay greasy spoon down on
the table. 1t leaves stain that will
take hard work to remove.
Don't crumple up your dish
towels. Rinse and hang them in
the sun, says the Chicago Daily
News.
Don't pour boiling water over
china that is piled in the dish pan.
1t is apt to crack from sudden con-
traction and expansion.
Don't try to black stove while it
is hot. 1t takes more backing and
less polish.

HABITS OF THE SHAD.
Interesting Facts About Its Incoming
From the Sea.

From the Sea.
The shad spends part of its life
at sea and part of it in fresh water.
At the approach of the spawning
season it comes in from the sea and
seeks the fresh water streams to
spawn. At the close of this season
II goes to sea again, there TO remain
until the spawning season again re-
turns.
Ii Is not known absolutely wheth-
er the shad remains in deep water
in the ocean off the approach of the
river whence it came or whether in
winter it goes south into warmer
waters; but it is commonly believed
that when the shad returns from
whatever point at sea it may to
fresh water it comes back to the
river in which it was born; but a
percentage of the shad do not re-
turn. 1t may be great percentage.
1t is certainly the expectation
when shad fry are placed in such a
river as the Hudson that the young
fish which survive and go to sea
will return to the Hudson. Here
the shores of Long Island and New
Jersey would serve as a great fun
mel to guide the fish, if they needed
guidance, to the opening to the bay
and river.
1t is not supposed. however, that
the shad of river basin, like that
of Chesapeake bay, for example, re-
turn each group to its own particu-
lar stream. In Chesapeake bay shad
would come in from the sea togeth-
er, but once inside the bay they
would be likely to seek each the
most convenient of the streams
emptying into it.
Shad have sometimes been caught
in New York bay in the early part
of the season with the roe much ad-
vanced. These may be simply indi-
vidual cases of early maturity in
shad belonging here. Shad CORE
spondingly late have been caught
here. Roe shad have been taken in
the bay as late as August, but gen
orally the shad come in with the roe
in the condition that might be ex-
pected in fish that knew where they
were going and when they were go
ing to get there. and fishermen in
cline to think of the early shad with
the advanced roe that it is one that
from some cause, perhaps stress Of
weather, has overrun its river.
That the shad does not always
seek its own river is plainly shown
on the Pacific coast, where the shad
is not native, but was introduced
from the east. Shad were planted
there chiefly in the Sacramento riv-
er, but they have now spread all
along the coast, as far north as
southern Alaska. There is, however,
along the Pacific coast a cold cur
rent which the shad does not seek
to pass. 1t is found in the bays and
estuaries and can be caught the year
round, and the natural barrier that
prevents its making an offing has
doubtless led to its general move
ment along the coast.-New York
Sun.

Lightning Spares the Beech.

1t is said that the Indians always
seek the shelter of a breech tree
during storm, if they can find one,
because they know that it is rarely
struck by lightning. This immu-
nifty of the beech was known to the
ancients, for there is an old myth
illogical legend to the effect that the
young god Jupiter once found shell
ter in one when he was pursued by
an enemy, and when he became the
chief of the gods, and the Thunder
er, he returned the favor by never
allowing one of his bolts to strike
the beech. But in spite of this al
legged immunity of the beech, it is
safer never to seek shelter under
any kind of tree during a thunder
storm.-Chieago News.

Statue to a Monkey.

A chimpanzee of Grenoble, Spain,
rescued a little child who had fallen
into a pit. The citizens of the town
felt so grateful they decided the
chimpanzee should hereafter be
dressed and treated as a man.
Strange to say, the chimpanzee
seemed to like his promotion and
went attired in mans garments un-
til his death. Then the city council
voted large sum of money to erect
a statue of the chimpanzee in
bronze. This statue may be seen in
one of the public squares of Gre
noble to this day.

Boards and Creased Trousers.

Those men wearing boards will have
them clipped torpedo fashion. = Order to

"a torpedo beard" explained an
expert, sis a beard clipped to a
point-a sort of stubby Vandyke
beard-and is the official beard Of
the navy. Just now the torpedo
beard is becoming more popular-in
fact, it is the only beard that smart
people wear.
'The flowing beard is hopelessly
out of fashion and is usually worn
only by people who have reached
that stage of life when they have
ceased to crease their trousers."-

The Merry Microhe.

The London Lancet has been
warning its readers against the table
implements at restaurants, the door
handles of public places and vehicles
and, above all, the coin Of the realm.
The merry microbe thriyes on these
unnutritious substances, it seems,
and takes a malevolent delight in
imparting all manner of diseases to
the unwary. Knowing from expe-
rience that the Lancet approves of
few things to eat and drink, con-
temporary suggests that the human
race live in balloons and subsist on
bananas and sterilized milk.

Hint About Old Gloves.

Old kid gloves or kid slippers may
be utilized for making kettle or iron
holders. Leather being a bad con-
ductor of heat, these holders are
much more effective than flannel
ones. Squares of kid should be cut
out, joined together and covered
