London, juno Sin tho house Of
commons during tho day Premier
Campbell-Bannerman formally an
nounced that the government. in view
Of the action Of the Irish Nationalist
convention in Dublin in rejecting the
Irish bill. had decided to drop the
measure.
During the course of his remarks
the premier said the Irish people
would have done well to give the de-.
tails Of the measure more attention
than appears to have been the case at
the recent convention at Dublin, but
in view Of the conventions decision to
reject the bill the government could
not go any further. He added that the
decision of the representatives of the
Irish people was a source of sincere
regret and disappointment to the min
listers and now that the Irish bill was
dropped the government intended to
introduce an "evicted tenants" restora-
ton bill. with powers of compulsory
purchase. The licensing bill would be
dropped also, as would be the case
with the measure designed to relieve
the passive resisters" from paying
education rates for religious instruc-
ton, but the government was deter
mined to introduce next session COM
prehensive education bill. putting the
whole educational system of the coun-
try in order.
In regard to the proposed restric-
ton of the powers of the house Of
lords the premier said it was proposed
later in the session to introduce a
resolution on the subject, when the
government would fully set forth it's
views.

STOCKHOLDERS BRING SUIT
Question Validity Of Minneso.
ta's Rate Legislation.

st. Paul. June lon the ground
that the new commodity freight rate
law, in effect June l in Minnesota,
and the 2-cent passenger rate law,
which went into effect May 1, are in
contravention Of the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States
suits asking for an order restoring
the old rates were begun in the fed
eral court during the day.
Judge Lochren issued a restraining
order in connection with an order to
the railroads to show cause at 10
a. m. July II why temporary injunc-
ton should not issue in accordance
with the prayer of the bill. The re-
straining order does not have the i'm
mediate effect of restoring the old
passenger rates and the 2-cent rates
will prevail until the further order Of
the court.
The suits are filed by stockholders
of eight railroads doing Interstate
business in Minnesota. In the bills
the railways, as we'll as the state at
torney general and members of the
railway and warehouse commission,
together with various shippers repre-
senting thousands of railway patrons
in the Northwest, are named as de-
PENDANTS.
In effect the railroads are suing
themselves with the object of testing
the validity of the new commodity
freight rate law and the 2-cent pas
senger rate law
The charges in each complaint are
that the new freight and passenger
rate laws enacted by the Minnesota
legislature are confiscatory in nature
and that they will work unfairly to
the railroads transacting interstate
business.

Household Hints.

The best thing to whiten red hands
is lemon juice. Rub little in every
time after washing. Some people soak
their hands in a weak solution of
chloride of lime and water to whiten
them Only a very little of the lime
must be used, or it will burn the skin.
A successful method of giving child
rem powders is to cut open a small
piece of chocolate cream, insert the
powder and close the chocolate again.
This is one of the easiest ways of
inducing a child to take a powder, and
less sickish than the usual spoonful Of
jelly.
TO assuage thirst and cure feverish-
ness, apple tea is capital drink for
sick people It is made by slicing up
raw apples into jug, filling up the
jug with boiling water, as IN tea-mak-
ing, then sWeetening to taste. When
cold, this apple tea will be found pleas
ingly tart and refreshing.
A splendid gargle for severe cases
Of sore throat, which does not burn
the throat or lips, and gives almost
instant relief is the mixture OF one
glass Of water, one teaspoOnful Of soda
and ten drops of carbolic acid.
If persisted in long enough, olive
oil taken after meals will cure stomach
trouble Let the dose be small at
first, gradually increasing it to a tea
spoonful. After taking for some weeks
the unpleasant taste will disappear.

Taking Care of the Piano.

The piano is an instrument requlr-
ing almost as much attention to keep
in good working order as the human
body. A great deal of care and skill
have entered into it's manufacture, and
in order to keep it in effective con-
dition some points suggested by a
maker Of forty years experience may
be worth noting.
In the first place, a piano cannot
keep it's tone in a damp place; damp
ness rusts both strings and tuning
pins, and also causes the felt on the
causing the mechanism to move If
regularly Or sluggishly.
To prevent the ivory keys from
turning yellow, allow them to be ex-
posed to the rays of the sun occa-
sionally.
While avoiding dampness, do not,
on the other hand, put your instru-
ment in place Of extreme heat, as
near the radiator or stove or open
fire.
To keep dust from accommodating on
the sounding board, close your piano
when not in use.
Most people have learned by ex-
perience that it is injurious to watch
to leave it without winding for long
time, thus causing the oil to clog. 1t
is just as hurtful to piano to keep
it closed for months at time Even
when not in use, open it occasionally.
If you insist upon burdening your
piano by piling heavy loads Of books,
pictures and ornaments upon it, do
not be surprised if it retaliates by
sometimes emitting unpleasant sounds
when played upon.

Let the Children Help.

Mothers make a mistake in not al
lowing their children to help when
thew are small Few children there
are who do not like to work when
little, and although their help may not
be all that might be desired, it is
still showing the willing spirit, which
it is we'll to cultivate.
Let them do responsible things, not
always the little things that are usually
relegated to their ilk. A little girl
wanted to black the stove, and her
mother let her to it several times.
It did not hurt the stove any, and if
it did make muss it taught the child
to be careful, and she felt the greatest
pride in doing it as we'll as she could.
Let them help in all ways possible;
it will be revelation to some mothers
if the children should be allowed to
do things, to find how many they
really can do, and do we'll.
Just because Rosie does not like
to wash dishes is no real reason why
she should not do it; but may be she
would like to stir up cake instead,
and if she learns how, then she will
have accomplished something worth
while 1t will take her longer, but

Let the girls mend their own stock

work the seWingmachlne treadle, and
run up seam. All these things are
little in themselves, but if the boy and
girl can sew on their own buttons,
mend a rip in garment or a tear,
stir up simple cake, or make
pudding or their own candy, why, so
much is gained. They learn useful
habits, and just how much work is
involved in doing these things, and
they learn the pleasure of accomplish

Manners at Home.

If parents have one set of manners
for the home and another for the out
side world, the children will copy those
they see in daily use.
There must be no se1fshness at
home if one does not want the boy
or girl to grow up selfish. The foun-
dation of the best manners is a good
heart, of course, and kindly feeling
toward everyone. Without this they
are but artificial, and will not stand
the test of the bufeting Of the world
and all it's opposing forces.
