To Renew Oilcloth.

To renew shabby oilcloth melt q lit.
tie glue in one pint Of boiling water,
and in the evening, when the traffic of
the day is done, go over the oilcloth
with piece of flannel in the glue wa
ter. II this is done in dry weather the
glue will be quite dry in the morning,
the oilcloth will have fine gloss and
look as good as new.
To prevent the edges wearing make
a stronger solution of glue and while
hot paint the edges with small
brush. When cleaning season comes
round large quantities of floor cloth
are often thrown out, as 1t does not
seem to be generally known that il
can be put to good use when 1t has
served it's time on the floor.
If cut into pieces 1t makes a capital
firelighter, owing to the fact that oil
is largely used in the process Of manu-

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was In the
Once of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul. Minnesota. On the windows
Of the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 100 acres were
given free to actual settlers. and in
the windows were displays Of wheat,
oats. barley, other grains and vege-
tables. which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for In no other coun-
try on the Continent would It be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world Is now pretty well advised
that in the growing Of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces Of Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and, Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State. and these exhibits are looked
upon as one Of, the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done In the climate of a country pos
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that 1t was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
TO create some doubt. But 1t was
the case. And apples too. Not Of
course the splendid fruit grown In
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
crs were forced to stop and think.
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks.
many Of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead OF any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent US samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think Of
the vegetables-aH1 such vegetables.
Why, we thougm everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cabbages, caulifiowers, beets, man
Colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of SO for 16O
acres. If adjoining land is wanted II
can be secured from the railway com
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms

If the dish does not succeed try again,

Don't fail to keep a clock in the

Don't fail to keep the icebox clean,

FOR THE DINING aoom.
Nation Plate Rail- 10 Effective Form of
Decoration.

-
Npthing adds so much to the appear
ance OF a dining room as a rail up
near the top on which is displayed odd
bits OF china, cut or fancy glass, or
pewter.
These plate rails may be made very
decorative or they can be absolutely
hideous. A jumbie OF color, for in
stance, is downright ugly, or, rail
full of china that does not harmonize
with the tone of the room, though the
separate pieces may not clash.
This defect can be overcome this
season by choosing for. your decora-
tion a nation plate rail- It will be both
artistic and inexpensive, or. at least,
comparatively SO, as the separate
plates can be bought for 80 cents and
less.
Each plate has the coat of arms of
different nation Of the world, az
nearly as possible in the natural COL
ors.
There are, of course, liberties taken
with them for artistic effect, but the
chief color of the frieze is in these
emblems.
The whole thing Is given touch Of
harmony by the border which is alike
on all the plates. 1t Is two tones OF
olive green frightened by dashes Of
red at regular intervals.
This treatment Of plate rail would
be specially good for yellow room or
one In dull gray blue, as there il
enough red and bright green in the
coats Of arms to give warmth.

German electors of East London in

French, he can point to his splendid
study of Charlemagne, in the Holy
Roman Empire, and say that few his

to the great reviver of the Roman
Empire. The Italians should well
come him as a great student of Italy,
from the days of julius Caesar up to

Electric traction Wins.

Since the Worlds Fair test in Chi
cago, when a steam engine in tug of
war contest succeeded in dragging an
electric locomotive back, the develop
ment of the latter has steadily pro-
crossed until it has reached a stage
where the electric locomotive assumes
superiority. 1t has been so greatly
increased in size, weight and power
that recent tests prove it to be more
than able to hold its own. Between a
specially selected Pacific type steam
passenger engine and the latest model
of electric locomotive the latter came
out well ahead in all of the trial runs.
In addition to the weight of the trains
behind the locomotives was fifty-six
tons greater for the electric factor than
for its competitor, although the greater
weight of the steam locomotive made
the total weight of the trains approx
mately equal.
