Removing Bruises from Furniture


The average householder generally &C

something which must be endured with
as much patience as possible. As a mat
ter of fact, a genuine bruise may be
readily removed-this not, of course
applying to scratches or cuts.
II the bruise is slight, soak the place
in warm water, aud hold redhot poker
near the surface of the wood, keeping II
constantly wet until the bruise disap
pears. This will occur in few
moments.
If the bruise is large-an actual dent
wet the place with warm water as before
directed. Then take a piece of brown
paper, fold it six or seven times, soak in
warm water and place over the spot.
Against the paper place hot fiatiron,
keeping it there until the moisture has
evaporated. This process should be re-
peated until the surface is again level.

Gambling at Monte Carlo.

A recent horrible tragedy, of a kind
not unrelated to other crimes, which
have had similar origin, has again call.
ed Monte Carlo into more than the usual
notice.
If a man were to hunt the world over
he could hardly find place which more
absolutely fits the lines
Where every prospect pleases,
And only man Is vile.
than does the little principality OF
Monaco, in the choicest part OF the Ri
viera; and yet it is known as "the
plague-spot of Europe" and the Inter
national nursery of crime" Two popu'
lar British novelists, Hall Caine and Max
Penn berton, have lately discussed in the
London papers the evils of the place and
the possibility of suppressing them.
The gambling games which have made
Monte Carlo famous-or infamous-the
world over, are carried on by a company
which pays all the expenses of the gov
eminent of the principality, and gives
the prince of Monaco S350,OOO veal
besides.
The prince himself, instead of being
the roue one might expect, is a mosl
cultivated and amiable gentleman, who
is recognized as the leading authority in
Europe on oceanography. But he does
not gamble. The people of Monaco, too
are quiet in their tastes, modest in theil
style of living, and contented. But
neither do they gamble.
Of the visitors, many of course, g.
for the climate and scenery, but more
are there to try "system" by which
they hope to 'break the bank''-a hope
less task. The suicides, crimes, and
other tragedies traced to Monte Carlo
are uncounted. But the attendants are
both courteous and sympathetic. "Mon
sieur has been unfortunate" says one OF
them to ruined man. HE has lost ALI
Truly most sad! Have the goodness to
allow US to advance monsieur trifle. v
He slips him hundred dollars, and con-
tinues. "Of course monsieur will not
do anything rash, but-perhaps it would
be we'll to go quite away for time
Suicides on the spot are not regarded
with favor.
There are, of course, international
difficulties in the way of suppressing
Monte Carlo, but they are not insuper
able.-Youth's Companion.

Tn. Army and Navy

The president recommends legisla-
ton to increase the number Of officers
in the army, especially in the medical
corps. The rate of pay Of officers
should be greatly increased, he de-
clares. There should be relatively
even greater increase in the rate OF
pay of enlisted men IL we are to keep
the army in shape to be effective N
time of need.
Concerning the navy the president
says:
In my judgment, we should. this year
provide for four battleships. But ii Is
idle to build battleships unless. in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training, we pro
vide the auXiliar.es for them-unless
we provide docks, the coaling stations.
the Golfers and supply ships that they
need. Plenty of torpedo boats and de.
stroyers should be built. Both on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts Notifications
of the best type should be provided for
all our greatest harbors. Our coast
line is on the Pacific just rs much us on
the Atlantic. The battle fleet should
now and then be moved to the Pacific.
Just as at other times 1t should be kept
in the Atlantic.

Wheeler ran a general store here during the civil war, and practically all of the arti- cles sold today had been on the shelves for forty years. The stock was purchased at war prices, and, rather than sell at a loss, Wheeler allowed the goods to remain on the shelves The store was closed over thirty years ago. Among the ar ticles sold were boots ! and shoes, mems clothing, dress goods, cigars, tobacco, groceries and, in fact were handled by New England country stores forty years ago. Most of the articles were hopelessly shop worn and out of date, and val uable only as curiosities.
