A BUFFERS PANTRY.

A man who contributes his house
keeping experience to The American
Home Monthly says that one OF his
greatest helps was closet in the but
ter's pantry, in which was kept a
package of each article Of food used
by the household which could be
placed there for an extended length
of time without spelling. The con-
tents Of this closet were thing quito
apart from the regular supplies, and
1t was only resorted to when the cook
had allowed some article to run out
and thought of it only when ready to
prepare the dish in which it was need
ed. In order not to keep the things
in the closet too long they were occa-
sionally transferred to the kitchen,
and fresh supplies put in their place.
When the housekeeper found what a
success the closet was, he added to
the food supplies such things as lamp
ehimneys and wicks, silver polish,
starch, etc. To these were added
supplies for unexpected company,
such as cans of meat, fish, soups,
vegetables and fruit.

CARING FOR LINoLEuM.

A household economics autho.ity
says: "In caring for linoleum do not
use soapsuds as for scrubbing floor.
It stands to reason that soap is going
to injure the varnish and the finish.
On farm where there Is plenty of
milk, a cloth wrung out of skim milk
is the best means Of eaking up the
dust and Frightening the Iinoleum.
Where milk Is scarce, or needed for
food, use lukewarm water. to which
has been added half cupful of kero-
5ene oil or some good furniture pol
lsh. Wiring the cloth rather dry
from this, and go over the linoleum
after sweeping. and it will be quite
new and bright. and the finish unin-
jured. Most housewives scrub oil
cloth and linoleum as though it were
bare floor: it is dusty rather than
dirty, since everything remains ON
the top, and for this reason clean
cloth slightly damp is all that is nee
sssary. The Country Gentleman.

PRAISED AS
PEACE CONFERENCE ENDS
Homage Paid to Industrious Presi-
dent of the United States"
HAGUE WORK TO BE CONTINUED

The Greatest Significance OF the In
ternational Conference Was the
Assembly of Representatives
From the World to Stop Warfare.
The Hague The Hall of Knights
presented an imposing spectacle at
the closing session of the information
al Peace Conference The boxes spe-
ciaIly erected for the occasion were
crowded to overlooking with Cabinet
Ministers, diplomats and other states
men and their wives in attractive cos
tunes. The president, M Nelidoff.
Russia, made long speech. saying
Notwithstanding the assiduous work
Of the delegates the Conference had
lasted longer than expected
The efforts to establish an Interna-
tional High Court of Justice and obli-
gat0ry arbitration were the result of
theoretical combinations, which failed
because there were practically insur-
mountable difficulties in their way.
But, instead, the international Prize
Court would be one of the lasting
monuments of the Conference, and.
once applied, it indirectly would pre-
vent the greater extension of war.
But the greatest significance of the
present Conference was the assem-
bling of representatives of the whole
world. The presence of the Latin
American delegations had increased
the reciprocal knowledge between the
countries of the European and Ameri-
can continents.
At one of our recent sittings
thanks were expressed to the august
initiator of the two conferences, His
Majesty the Emperor of Russia, The
conference, | hope, will to-day render
homage to the President of the United
States, who first proposed the meeting
of the second conference.
The Argentine delegation insisted
that to maintain the principle of
equality of the States a greeting
should be sent to King Alphonso of
Spain, as well as to President Roose-
welt, both of whom insured the invi-
tation sent to Argentine to participate
In the conference The suggestion
was applauded warmly, as was a
speech of Senior Triana. Colombia,
VINO Sdlu.
Let us give expression to the deep
est gratitude to the sovereign who
convened us; to the august Queen,
dispenser of the hospitality which has
been accorded to us, and to the illus
trious President of the United
States.
He expressed thanks to President
Nelidoff in the name of Japan, which
sup to the end of the last century had
given history rare example of pro-
found and uninterrupted peace dur
ing 800 years, country which has
placed the blessings of undisturbed
peace above the troubled and tran
sient glories of war"
There was unanimous reclamation
of President Roosevelt for his initia-
tive in convoking the conference, and
in a new manifestation in favor of
continuing the Peace Conference and
the further development of the prin-
ciple Of a world understanding to reg
ulate international relations, the dele
gates reiterated their approval of
President Roosevelt's course of ac-
ton,
