cIeanino a Sickroonn.

Most of us know how untidy sick room becomes and how annoying the dust of the sweeping is to the patient "To remedy this," said trained and capable nurse, T put little ammonia in pail of warm water and with my mop wrung as dry as possible go all over the carpet first This takes up all the dust and much of the loose dirt. A broom will take what is too large to adhere to the mop and raise no dust. With my dust cloth well sprinkled go over the furniture, and the room is fairly clean" 9s

QUIGG'S EARTHQUAKES.
New York Traction Agent Has Promi-
 nent Men on His Payroll.

nent Men on His Payroll.
 New York, Oct. 3.-Pressed for a di rect answer, Lemuel Ely Quigg told the public service commission that Il would be impossible for him to say who had received between $7O,O0O and $1O00O0 of Metropolitan Street rail way money that he had disbursed. Il had been shown he had received in one account $151,OOO in round figures from the company.
 He had checks to show what ulti mately had become of probably less than half of it. The remainder was represented by checks he had given to J. J. McEvilly, once his secretary and now his partner, and to Nathan Wax man, clerk in his office. Almost all of those checks, he said, represented money they had drawn out of bank and given to him. He had expended it, he said, for purposes of the railway syndicate and could not tell who had got it or what the payments were for.
 Among the many payments repre- scented by checks Quigg produced and explained, which Twins put in evidence, were:
 To Reuben F. Fox, Platt's secretary of the Republican state committee, S250 for legislative information bureau services.
 William T. Rooney. thousands of dol lars for organizing and financing the West Side Rapid Transit and the Eighth Avenue associations.
 David Steckler. thousands of dollars for work as organizer of the East Side Rapid Transit association and to finance its operations.
 l.. A. Newcombe, $905O5 in 1904 for detective work in watching Amory and his associates.
 w. NJ. K. Olcott, Feb. 13, 1904, $1,000 as retainer to appear before the rap. i'd transit commissioners.
 John NJ. Parsons, a labor leader. who, Quigg said, received $100 on March 15, 1904, and later $200.. Quigg said Parsons appeared in Albany as representing labor interests and was a man of great intelligence.

How the Long Trip From Madeira te
 Cape. Town is EnIivened.
 The voyage to Cape Town from Southampton or Madeira is a long one. sixteen to twenty days, says the Travel Magazine. And so we find pas times organized on board far tran. scending the ordinary concerts, anna teur theatricals, deck games and the like familiar to all of us on the ordi- nary ocean going liner.
 The programme is an ambitious one, comprising boxing. gymnastic drill, ob- stacle racing, cockfghting, cricket, baseball and football, egg and spoon races for men and girls and children, ordinary deck games and evening amusement, such as concerts and dances.
 The sack race for grown men is the delight of all the children, who love to see their fathers tied up in sacks and progressing by kangaroo-like bounds, whose uncertainty is made still more precarious by the pitch and roll of the great vessel Nor must forget the bolster and pillow fights, with competitors perched on horizontal bars, with their legs tied beneath. Some fighters display rare gameness and staying power, so that the onlookers feel quite grieved when they Ego un- der" in very literal sense.

Reason For Heavy Wheels.

Everywhere in the old world the wheels of wagons and carriages are two or three times as heavy as those on corresponding vehicles in America and so appear clumsy and cumbersome to us. The explanation of the differ ence is that our wheels are made of hickory, a wood unknown abroad, which supplies the requisite strength in smaller mass.-Travel Magazine.

tions. such other time to be desig-
mated, and due notice thereof given.
