CLEANING HAIR BRUsHJS.

valuable brushes, such as those
win Ivory or tortoiseshell BAGS, may

instead Of soap and water. ehe brush
IS dipped into bran, whicl must be
RUBBED into the bristles a. one would
soap, and the particles my afterward
ne removed by tapping the brush
orstles downward on tie table. The
process is somewhat engthy, bat it
prevents the bristles from becoming
sodtened, as they inevitably must be
II wetted. When every trace of bran
has been removed, the brush will be
found to be perfectly clean, and may
then be wiped with soft silk hand
kerchief.

The Truth About Coal Tar.

Much has been said about the coal
tar compounds and but little to their
credit, writes Agnes Spaulding in Good
Housekeeping. To many persons they
seem but new poisons capable only Of
doing harm. Yet their discovery fifty
years ago was and is one of the mar
wells of science, changing chemistry
from a narrow interest in minerals to
the present broadening conception of
life compounds From coal tar the
chemist is able to initiate some Of ma
lures most intricate compounds. But
at best the coal tar products are still
limitations, and because they too often
masquerade as something better than
themselves they defraud the public.
Many Of them are Wholesome and
have legitimate place upon the deal
ers' shelves. Nanilin is good, vanilla
is better but both should be available
to the possible purchaser and unde4s
their own names. 49,

Meets Laurier and Leader OF
Opposition
QUESTION OF WATERWAYS
Of the Utmost Importance--Canada Does
Not Want England to Interfere--It
Is Thought Visit VIII Give Us
Dominion's True Sentiment.

Ottawa, Jan. %. Elihu Root, secreta-
ry Of state, met R. L. Borden, leader
of the opposition, yesterday, at lunch
con given by Consul General Foster at
Golf club grounds. Saturday night Mr..
Root had good opportunity to talk over
international affairs with Sir Wilfrid
Laurier at the government house after
dinner was over. AS as matter Of fact,
IL was 50 arranged, accidentally, Of
course. The Canadian premier ii as
anxious as Mr.. Root Is to dispose Of
certain number Of troublesome questions,
such a. the division and settlement of the
waterways and territory adjacent TO the
boundary line between Puget sound and
the st. John river These matters might
be easily disposed Of between Canada
and the United States without including
the British government in the transac-
tion. The international waterway com.
mission is now at work and the recon.
mendations from time To time will come
before the governments of Canada and
the United States, and the whole matter
can be arranged in that way What
Canada wants to evade is any tribunals
upon which British statesmen will have
the casting vote, as was done in the
Alaska affair. Indeed, ii u an open SCI
cret here that Canadian government will
never enter into any such tribunal
without first getting a guarantee direct
from President Roosevelt that there will
be no such humiliation heaped upon our
people Az was done in that instance.
With Canadian statesmen on one side
and Americans on the other, such as has
been arranged for now, in the case OF
st. Johns river, there will be no objee-
ton. II an agreement il reached, we'll
and good; II not, Canada will be none
the worse of, and no one will be injured
nor will either people be rufTIed.
This Is how the whole matter is view
ed in inner circles and il is from this
point of view that feeling has grown
for Canadian attaehe TO the embassy
at Washington Mr.. Roots visit will
put him in touch with these views, and
will be Of much more significance than
be or anyone else would care 10 admit.
Having learned of oil these things from
the Canadian government side on Sat
urday, Mr.. Root yesterday had ON ex-
eellent opportunity to hear what the
leader OF the Canadian opposition had
to say. Having heard both sides, he
will go back TO Washington fortified with
the true sentiment and feeling of the
people Of the Dominion towards the
United States. That some good will re-
suit theTcfrom no one would care 10
dispute. II il expected that today he
win have something Of Importance to
say to the Canadian club, whose guest
he is to he at luncheon. If he visits
the House Of Commons in session, as
he is sure to do, he will hear the opin
ions Of Canada on the fisheries and the
modus vivendi.

tuent was reached yesterday by Repub-
lican senator's on Substitute resolution
on the Brownsville question which is to
b introduced BY Senator Foraker and
Il. is asserted will receive The unanimous
vote Of the majority party.
It is said that, in addition to pro-
viding for an investigation by the Sen

Senator Foraker did not give bis con.
sent to the compromises until yesterday,
but inasmueh as he Is to offer It and Il
il not inconsistent with the position he
had previously taken he finally agreed
10 withdraw his objections.
He was assured, however, that the
resolution would be supported by Sen.
ator Lodge and the unanimous strength
Of the Republicans in the Senate.
Should Senator Blackburn offer as an
amendment to the new resolution the
amendment he presented to the pending
resolution indorsing the presidents
course, the agreement by the Repnbli-
cans would insure its defeat.

callers yesterday, with some Of whom

eception, however Of Messrs. Spoonel

Senator Foraker introduced the COM
promise resolution in relation to Browns

REFERENDUM IN RUTLAND.
Proposed New City Charter to Be Voted
on February S.

Rutland, Jan. %. Rutland citizens
will be asked to vote at a freemen's
meeting February on an amended char
ter, approved by the last legislature, TO
take the place Of the present charter,
in force since 1898.
Copies Of the proposed new charter
have been distributed about the city.
There Is a feeling that the voters win
turn II down because Of their ignorance
of IL, and the fact that they were not
taken into confidence at its framing.
The old charter Is popular with no.
body, but a faction believes that tho
adoption of the new one would he max.
ing bad matter worse. Where the
mayor, In the hands Of the board Of al
dermen, controls all city affairs now, the
moneys under the proposed new regime
would be handled BY boards Of public
safety, public works, health and chart
ties, cemetery commissioners and school
commissioners.
The new charter provides a vice mayor
to preside over the aldermen, and makes
the board Of education consist III FIVE
men, elected for ave years each. ifisteal
of II, elected for two.
