TO CLEAN.

Mating may be cleaned with salt
water applied with small brush.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To clean windows use warm water
and little borax. Wipe dry, and pol.
ish with crumpled newspapers.
To clean venetian blinds. wash each
lath separately with water to which
q little ammonia is added. Sponge with
clean water, and dry with soft cloth.
Stains on blankets and other wooden
goods can be removed by using a mix
ture Of equal parts Of glycerine and
yolk OF an egg. Spread 1t on the stain,
leave 1t for half an hour, and then
wash.
To remove grease spots from car
pets, sprinkle powdered Fuller's earth
thickly on the spot, cover with piece
Of coarse brown paper, and put hot
iron on the paper; when the iron is
cold remove 1t, but do not brush OF
the Fuller's earth for several hours.
Here are three good rules for
cleansing sink after washing up the
dinner things. Collect any refuse by
scraping 1t together with little sink
shovel and burn 1t. Scrub the sink
with hot soda water. Pour a quantity
of hot soda water down the pipe and
then a flush Of cold.
To remove stains Of long standing
from marble, mix together one gill
each Of soapsuds and ox-gall and half
gill of turpentine. then add as much
finely-powdered pipeclay or Fuller's
earth as will form stin paste. Apply
the mixture with a brush, and let II
remain on the marble for two or three
days. Then wipe 1t on.

Talked Them Into Prison.

About 30 years ago Henry Clay
Dean, the eccentric Missouri lawyer
and orator, was attending a term of
court at which l was defending a
man on a pretty serious charge" said
Judge Risdon OF Kirksville the other
day to Kansas City Star writer.
1.-TWO horse thieves that were In jail
sent for Dean. He took their case.
and after looking at 1t from all sides
concluded the best thing for them to
do was to plead guilty and take two
years each.
His men baked at the idea Of
pleading guilty. He told them that
the penitentiary wasn't bad sort of
place; he had been all through 1t and
knew. The warden-a personal friend
Of mine-is one of the kindest men
that ever lived said Dean; he never
makes you work when you are tired /:
and when you are sick he always looks
after you like mother. You get
roast beef and brown bread every day,
and pie and turkey on Sunday. Why,
when Bill Jenkins-you boys know
Bill-used to run little sawmill over
in the corner of Putnam county, they
sent him up for-er--borrowing corn.
When he went there he didn't weigh
over hundred and thirty pounds. reg.
ular skin and bones. and in six months
he weighed 800 pounds avoirdupois.
and was made captain Of the guard
just getting along fine; said he
wouldn't swap his job for any other
in Missouri and wrote his folks to
come down and live with him. The
prison can't hurt anything but your
reputation and what does q fellow
who's been stealing care about repu-
tations, anyway
THE two horse thieves by this time
were dead anxious to plead guilty and
begin life In the pen. More than
that, all the other fellows In the jail
who had heard Deans talk insisted on
pleading guilty and going along"
