BEST WAY TO WASH PAINT
Is Not So Simple an Operation as
Some Would Believe.

Some Would Believe.
Washing paint is not quite so stint
pie an operation as the vendors 1T
ready.nliXed paints sometimes claim.
Painted woodwork can generally be
washed successfully with water con-
tanning a little ammonia, but painted
wall surfaces are different matter.
AS rule plastered wall surfaces.
when finished in oil paint, have the
!! last coat "t,attei,." by mixing it with
turpentine.
| AS a flatted coat dries without gloss
1t conceals the mevenness of the plaS-
tering. which would he shown at once
by the irregular reflections from a
shining surface, and is therefore popu-
lar with builders. But it is gritty and
catches and retains much dirt in con-
sequence, and it is very difficult to
wash. If treated with soap and water
in the ordinary way the wall, after
the work is completed, will show CLOS
> sy streaks. These are due to the par
\ tial drying of the soapy water en- the
sur.ace, and in order to avoid them
the water must be wiped off at once
with a soft cloth befcAe it has time to
dry.
The proper way to wash such pain,
is to take a sponge in one hand ant
\ a soft cloth in the other and go over
i the wall, sponging and wiping alter
/ nately. Plain, "oi! finished" paint, o.
] egg. shell finished which is all var
\ nish can be washed much more easil!
& and successfully than f1atted coal
but even with these it is best not Il
n allow soapy water to dry on the sur
\ face.

MINISTER WI TING-FANG.
Secretary Root Receives Dispatch as
to His APPOINTMENT.

Secretary Root today received cable
gram from Minister Rockhfll at Peking
notifying Inn of the appointment of WI
Ting fang minister to Washington 1t
appears that in taking that action without
making inquiry of the State Department as
70 whether the appointee would be persona
erata 10 this government. the Chinese for
eign office is after all simply following its
custom in such cases, for while most ma
tons take some steps to ascertain the
acceptabitty of a minister, there is no alb
solute requirement on the subject, and
China has heretofore simply named It's man
and allowed nation to object to him If
II cared 10. So in Wu's case. no affirma-
tive action is necessary on the part of our
government. only in case he Is he'd to be
obnoxious would the department be re-
quired 10 act by lodging an objection
1t is evidently the intention of Mr. Root
10 allow the President and Assistant Score
tHry Bacon to pass upon Mr.. Wu's eligible
ity, for he will not attempt to dispose of
the before he leaves washington this
afternoon for Mexico. There is rea-
Son To believe that In an unofficial manner
some representations have been made at
the State Department within the last TWEEN
ty-four hours impeaching the character Of
the proposed new minister. not only the
ground OF his conduct while formerly In
Washington. but because of the manner in
which he Is alleged to have secured this
disappointment to his old post.
On that score. 1t Is stated that the State
Department has been 50 informed by enc
mics of Mr. WI. that he took advantage of
an abnormal state of affairs in Picking to
secure favorable action in his case.
According to that account Prince Ching
who Is really the titu!ar premier of the
howery kingdom. Is getting to be an old
man and is rapidly losing Interest in public
affairs. He does not even attend the cabi-
net meetings regularly. and in consequence
his influence with the throne has greatly
diminished. Yuan Shih-kai. who promises
I" succeed Ii Hung Chang as the directing
force in China. is practically dominating
the kingdoms foreign relations at this
moment Sir Chentung LANG Cheng. the
retiring minister to Washington upon re-
turning To China did not repair to the capt
tat bat went first TO visit his relatives in
Canton. in the south. 1t Is asserted that
had he been in Picking ne might have cast
his powerful influence with Yuan Shih-kat
against Wus appointment. having always
expressed himself as opposed to his meth
DDS. So Mr.. Wu's enemies in Washington
declared that he has been guilty of trickery
IN securing action by the Wal WI Pu or
Chinese foreign Office In the matter of his
appointment.

in several directions"

cooking done In real soldier fashion. The
