ENGLISH METHOD 10 COON
How Wallpaper 10 Cleaned "Aeros'
the Water"

An English method OF cleaning wall
paper is one well worth knowing. for
1t is simple and better than any dust
ing. Make a paste by mixing -FOUR
pounds OF common wheat flour and
two pints of cold water; knead this
into stiff dough and form into Two
or three balls. Wipe the paper all
over with 1t. and as the dough be-
comes dirty work the soiled parts into
the middle and the clean parts out
side. This quantity will be suficient
to clean a very large room. Begin
at the top OF the paper and work down
ward till all is freshened.
1t takes up the dirt like charm
and will not injure the most delicate
color. Only the quantity required FOR
one cleaning should be made. for the
outside will harden II allowed to stand
and this crust worked into the mass
would scratch the paper.
Flatirons that are put away FOR
few weeks often get rusty. and the
best way to prevent this is to rub
little warm grease over the surface
and then wrap in brown paper. When
taken out dip into hot water that has
had small piece OF soda dissolved in
II. rub dry. and then put them to heat
in the usual way. When they are
ready to be used on the ironing board
have a piece OF brown paper with
little powdered brick on 1t. and rub
the surface OF your iron with this. II
seems rather lengthy process. but II
really does not take long to do. and
housewives will be rewarded for the
trouble they have taken by finding the
irons delightfully."- smooth and easy to
use. and when they are like this the
work can be done twice as quickly.

Short on Room for Brands.

Under the present state brand law
a hundred men may use the same
brand provided they can find a different
place ON the animal to gut it. This
leads to all sorts of peculiar compllca-
tions and the state auditor, who is also
ex officio state recorder of brands. says
he is thinking of recommending that
the coming legislature pass law ex-
tending the carcass of each sheep, horse
and cow brute in the state for brand
ing purposes. The following letter ex-
plains the necessity of the recommend
atiGn:
Dear Sir:-Certifcate of your brand
duly received. ] herewith return the
same for the reason that your brand
conflicts with previously recorded
brand in this Office on the same place on
the animal. It will be necessary that
you select a new brand or change this
one to some other place on the animal
where it has not been heretofore re-
corded, which is allowed under the new
brand law. before can file your certii-
cate for record in this Office.
Your brand 'O' is on record in this
Office on the left shoulder. left thigh.
left stife. right thigh and right shoulde,
of horses; also on the right hip, left side
right side. left thigh. left hip. right
thigh. right shoulder, left shoulder and

described in your letter as Tx connect
ed is recorded on the right thigh, righi

not been taken, and return the encloset

u cannot exactly reconstruct the
crime before your eyes, but I can

BALDWIN had in his safe the proceeds
OF tne sale of the Bemis farm. He

thieves to rob the safe. Probably the
victim Weakened as the thief entered
the bedroom where the safe stood. To
prevent outcry,s he was made uncon-
scious with the instrument with
which the window had been forced.
THE arrival of Tim Caldwell In
the wagon at midnight scared them
away before they could open the safe
and In their fight they threw away
the blood-stained Jimmy lest they be
captured and the discriminating blood
stains be found in their kit.

instrument that crushed the life out.

corner of the yard. have three
witnesses to testify to the .inding of
the jimmy"
He stepped forward and laid the
jimmy on the desk. There were stains
of rust where the dew had oxidized
the metal, but there We're othor and
more sinister stains. There was a
niche in the blade that exactly fitted
the wood and a physician took it
down into the morgue and returned
ito report that 1t also fitted the
wounds in the head. Y
Without leaving their seats the
jury found the verdict OF death at
the hands of some person orr persons

moved the handouts from Caldwell'a
wrists.
In an instant he had his wife and
his sister clasped in his arms, but
presently Nettie disengaged herself
and came toward Linden.

she took his hand.
II do" he responded promptly,
Though this Is neither the time nor

blows of heavy instrument believed
to be a burglars jimmy. A window
sill from the Baldwin house WAS
shown with the marks of the same
Jimmy and a physician testified tina.
the instrument found in Caldwell's
back yard fitted the wounds IN the
head.
Much capital was made of The fact
that the deceased was violently OPP
posed to the marriage of his daugh-
ter to Caldwell, and that 1t was like
ly that a new will would have been
made had the squire lived to learn
of his daughters elopment.
Then the crowd turned to look at
their fellow townsman who had Just
returned to his native place. 1t
scarcely seemed probable that man
almost novice in the courts would
seek to shake the solid foundation of
the defence, but Linden rose to his
feet with pleasant smile.
May it please your honor" he be-
gan, "the learned district attorney
has reared up a wonderful structure
of crime. 1t goes to show how ter.
rible a thing circumstantial evidence
Is when wrongly deducted. Had
not been firmly conviaced'of the inno-
cence of my client, should have been
inclined to admit every premise
"Of course he is known to have
been possessed of set of burglars
tools. AS a mechanic, prosecuting
private experiment in his own home,
/. was but natural that he should
purchase set of these tools at the
police sale. They are admittedly the
bes. of their sort, but it was not the
jimmy that was found in the Cald-
well yard that struck the blow,
though 1T has been proven by the po-
lice marks that this Jimmy was the
one sold the prisoner"
Linden paused moment, for the
statement was SO sweeping that a
buzz of astonishment ran about the
court room in spite Of the use of the
gavel.
IF you will look at the window sill.
offered here in evidence went on
Linden, "you will find that there are
three distinct impressions OF the tool
in the soft pine wood. There are also
impressions on the under part OF the
sash, which l have brought with me
and now offer In evidence after call
ing the housekeeper at the Raldwins'
to testify that she saw me cut these
from the very window through which
entry was obtained"
Entry had been obtained by pry-
ing up the lower sash until the
screws of the window lock we're pull
ed out of the soft wood and the Jim
my had bitten deep.
"You will OBSERVE" said Linden,
as the coroner examined the exhibit,
"that these indentations are much
more distinct, but that they agree
perfectly with those made in the sill.
