When Consuelo Vanderbilt became
the duchess Of Marlborough, she gave

rehabilitation Of the palace ana

sessions, and Blenheim palace took on
new glory and splendor, and has dur.
ing recent years been the scene Of
many brilliant social functions. But
recently cloud has arisen upon the
matrimonial sky OF the Marlboroughs
and It is said that the young Amer
ican duchess has left the palace bag
and baggage, never to return.
This has served to turn the eyes
Of Americans especially In that direc-
ton and excite new interest in the
place which has not only swallowed
up much Of the fortune Of an Amer
lean heiress, but her happiness as
well.
More than any place in England
the surroundings OF Blenheim retain
the atmosphere Of olden days; its
young inhabitants have about them
the manners of the old feudal times.

The situation Of Poland to-day is

fashionable boulevards are partly de-

troops, but martial law brings only
oppression, not security. Hardly a

wounded by the terrorists, while sus-

Few Little Hints That Are Wei WORTH
Remembering.

Window plants should be turned
around once a week SO that the sun
win strike them on ali sides.
II you are going to keep geraniums
In the windows. be careful to select
only the best varieties.
Air, Light, warmth and a moderate
supply Of water are the essential
things that winter plants require.
All winter plants require plenty Of
sunshine. Windows in which they are
kept should never be darkened.
Several bulbs planted In the same
pot will make much better showing
Of color than If planted separately.
Don't forget to have some foliage
Ferns make excellent winter plants
They require a light, spongy soil.
Bulb beds should be wen covered
with litter from the barnyard. Ten
inches or a foot of such refuse IS not
too much.
Half a dozen tubers Of the butter
cup oxalis planted in a pot will bloom
all winter producing hundreds OF
beautiful yellow flowers.
BY melting a small cake Of hand
soap and adding five quarts of water
an excellent infusion for exterminat-
ing the aphis can be made.
Gladioh and dahlias should not be
left out Of doors. They should either
be stored in the shed and covered
with blankets or placed in the cellar.

RaIIs for Extractlne oreaae.

Dry cloth balls for extracting grease
may be made by taking half pound
Of dry fuller's earth and moistening it
with little lemon juice. Then add
half an ounce Of finely pulverized
pearlash and work into thick paste.
Roll into small balls and set them in
the sun or little distance from the
fire to dry. In a few hours they will
be ready for use, When required the
stained cloth should be moistened with
warm water and rubbed with the balls.
Place in the sun to dry and then brush
on the powder or wash it out if neces
sary.

Speaking of the Occur d'Alenes,
Mr.. Herrick stated that the district
was never more prosperous and that
the coming year would be the greatest
in tho history Of the country. 1.-The
district is but in its infancy and there
is an activity that promises much.
All that is needed now is more money,
for there are any number Of valuable
prospects lying idle on this account.
New strikes are being made continu'
ally and new people are pouring into
the country. This is our dull season,
but when spring opens up, We will
witness the greatest boom the country
has ever known. The Shoshone min
