THE GRAND YOUNG MAN.

Senator Beveridge is i'm constant eruption. The grand young man of the United States senate has only one rival in quantity of literary output, and that is Theodore Roosevelt. For the present he is deeply and loudly afflicted by the stand taken by California in rela- ton to tho Japanese, and he works himself into an arithmetical frenzy like this:
 Think of that The president of ninety million of people pleading with the mayor of a few thousands of peo- pie to prevent those few thousands from plunging the whole ninety mil- lions into war To this deep humilia- tion-to this grave danger-state'- rights brings us.
 Every step upward in the worlds esteem has been won by nationality. Shall we be one people, the greatest force of rightcousness beneath tn skies or shall We he forty-six peoples? That in the final analysis. is the question Shall we have one flag or forty six flags"
 Think of that, Well, what is the use of thinking about something that never happened and was never likely to happen? Silly and excited rhetoric of that character does not promote the cause of truth, although it may gratify the vanity of a man of little sense.

Daily Cleaning One Of the Most I'M

Two of the greatest family evils are
4 scolding wife and a smoking lamp.
The first must sometimes be endured
but the second may be remedied by
little care.
Daily cleansing of every lamp IN
,se should be as much part OF the
,ousewife's duties as making the
beds. and the boiling of the burners
IT least once in a fortnight is as i'm
,ortant as the weekly sweeping.
Wicks should not be trimmed with
shears, but wiped of with soft ciotn'

which cause the flame to fare ana

Another precaution to take to pre-
vent wicks from smoking is to Doll
hem. Buy them in punches. place In
porcelain kettle, cover with strong
vinegar. bring the latter to a boil
and set where the kettle Will keep
warm for three hours.
Drain out the wicks, dry thoroughly

Soil all the metal portions of lamp
turner's in strong soda water for ten
minutes, rinse and dry in sun or on
the stove. Chimneys should also be
washed in hot soda water, rinsed well
and dried with crumpled newspaper.
Never leave the wicks turned up
when the lamps are not in use, for

the base, creating not only an un-
pleasant odor, but being disagreeable
to handle. In carrying lamp from
