How to Wash Lace.

Cover a bottle with fine white enamel, and tack the edges of the lace upon it, being careful to fasten down every little point, and lay the lace as straight as possible. Squeeze the bot tie in lukewarm soap and water till the lace is clean and rinse in the same way. Put it in the sun to dry, dip bottle and all in starch, then wrap clean cambric round 1t and let dry in the open air. When quite dry the lace may be untacked and will look as good as new and will need little iron ing. Black lace may be washed in the same way, but without soap. A few drops of ammonia may be used instead. Black lace never should be ironed.

Do not throw away your lemon peel ing, but string them on a stout cord and hang up in clean place to dry. When hard and brittle grate the vel low skin on nutmeg grater and you will find that this powder makes the best kind of fiavoring for cake or pud- ding. Half teaspoonful is equal to one teasponful of the liquid kind put up in bottles. Orange skin can also be treated in the same way with suc- cess.

To Clean Furniture.

Go over the furniture with cloth dipped in paraffin oil and allow it to stand for an hour which will loosen the dirt. Next wash the furniture with a suds made of pure soap and rain water. Rub very dry with a soft cloth and polish with a piece of white flannel dipped in turpentine This will not injure a piano, but re- store the brilliant polish. Furniture gets dull because it is dirty and needs to be cleaned with soap and water.

HAsKINs BOOMS CANNON.
Thinks Seq. TAFT VIII Get Little sup
pOrt In New England

Washington, d. G.. oct. 17.-"In my
opinion New England will vote in the
next republican national convention for
a conservative man like Gov. Hughes of
New Yorl. or Speaker Cannon said
Representatives Haskins of the "a Yer
mont district to-day.
"Gov. Hughes has many friends in
Vermont, where he made decidedly
favorably impression at the meeting
of the Fish and Game League last
month" continued Mr. Haskins. MIR,
Cannon was there also, and his speech
gained many friends for him.
II do not think Secretary Taft will
receive much support in New England,
for the reason he is regarded as the
Presidents candidate.
"Ny candidate for the presidency is
none other than Mr., Cannon. He is
absolutely honest, He has 80 years
of legislative experience, and would
not as President encroach on the leg
islative branch of the government. If
he were 10 years younger nothing could
stop his getting the nomination"
