ENGLAND NEW FIGHTER.
New Type of Batteship is Driven by
Gas.

Great Britain is constructing a new
type of battleship that will be able to
send the huge Dreadnaught to the
bottom as easily as the Dreadnaught
can sink the Russo-Japanese type of
ironclad. The new ship will be called
the Foudroyant, and she will cost $12,-
100000, which is $2,25O,000 more than
was expended on the Dreadnaught
The new monster viii have no fun
nels, and will make no smoke. Her en-
gines will be driven by gas, which, be-
sides taking up less room than steam
engines, will allow a greater speed.
She will be $50 feet long and will
mount IL great 1875 guns. while no
other battleship now building provides
for guns larger than IL inch.

Appeal Case.
Manufacturers attending the Pacific
Coast Lumbermen's meeting at Bel
bingham, Wash, are deeply interested
in the possibility of the railroads APP
pealing from the interstate commerce

the case.

lions will remain unsettled for the
next six months and there will be no
business worth mentioning until the
case is settled, according to Everett

in Excess of Receipts.
The forthcoming statement of the
treasury receipts and expenditures for
the fiscal year ending June 30, shows a
marked falling off in receipts as com
pared with the year 1907 and a large
increase in the expenditures. The ex
cess of expenditures over receipts foI
the year will approximate $60.000.000
which has been exceeded only twice
since the civil war. In 1894 there was
a deficit and in 1899 there was an
other of a little over sS9,000,000, and
in each of the four intervening years
the receipts fell considerably below
the disbursements. Again in 1904 and
1905 there were shortages of s4,177, 600

TO GET RID OF MOTHS.
Preparation Guaranteed to Rout These
Annoying Pests.

I'm distracted" said the young
housekeeper. after wearing myself
to frazzle in housecleaning time, try
ing to rout moths, find they have got
ten into my storeroom closet"
Your fight was not scientific
enough laughed the older woman.
What did you do? Stick little cam
phor or moth balls around and think
your duty done? The willy moth needs
much more strenuous remedies.
Don't look so disconsolate, child,
your winter wardrobe is not eaten yet.
Have one rousing moth fight accord
ing to my prescription and you can
hang out a flag of truce till frost
comes.
Mix gasoline, gum camphor and tur
pentine together in the proportion of
an ounce and a half of camphor and
quarter of a pint of turpentine to
every quart of gasoline.
Crush the camphor well before
mixing and put the mixture into q
tightly -corked jug or bottle for over
night. Shake well before using.
Tomorrow bright and early take
out all the clothes in your room and
have them thoroughly brushed and
beaten, burning the dust. Then put
your moth mixture into a syringe and
spray everything in sight. 1t will do
no damage even to your woodwork or
bedding if you happen to have any
stored in there, so drench everything
we'll
Shut up the room over night. put
ting cloth along the cracks of the
door, just as if disinfecting. The next
day open and air the room and sweep
and dust again.
IF you think any of the things done
up in boxes are affected, they should
be taken out, brushed and put back
with fresh Jumps of camphor after
the boxes have been washed inside and
out with the gasoline compound.
Il have used this remedy for years.
In one house where the moths had
taken possession, 1 did each room in
turn in mid-July and never had further
trouble.
BE sure to shut the room for "a
hours and never have light in it
until the odor has disappeared or a
bad fire may result"

In sewing in sleeves, instead of
binding the seams use the French
seam. 1t is much neater and quickly
done.
To keep a pencil drawing from blur

and dry on a smooth, hard surface,

Of water left that causes rust, and that
is soon followed by hole.
Handkerchief corners will meet
more exactly if the handkerchiefs are
folded with the first crease on a line
with the width wide threads of the
linen.
If, when boiling ham, you add for
each gallon of water a teacup of vine
gar and six or eight cloves the flavor
will be much improved. Always let
a ham cool in the water in which il
is boiled and it will keep deliciously
moist and nice.
Nickel plating may be cleaned with
water and whiting or with water and
alcohol as easily as silver Where
there is large amount of nickel to
be cleaned gasoline will do the work
well and quickly, but of course extra
precautions must be taken.

The Kitchen Sink.

A kitchen sink should be kept spot
lessly clean. The best way to clean
a galvanized iron sink is to rub strong
soap powder into every corner and
over every inch of surface. Let 1t resi-
for ten or 15 minutes, then with d
scrubbing brush and boiling water GO
over the whole, rubbing vigorously
when thoroughly scrubbed polish with.

For a porcelain-lined sink use kerosene

To Wash Mattinu.

Mating should be washed with
strong salt and water to strengthen
the fibers.
If white or cream colored mating
has become faded, wash with strong
soda water, and, while this will turn il
a deeper shade of creamy yellow, il
will be all one color instead of varie
gated.
Mating should always be swept the
way of the weave, not across it.
If some of the figures in the pattern
have become dingy, they can be
frightened by rubbing dye into the
mating with an old toothbrush, fol-
lowing the lines of the figure, which
can be strengthened with pencil be-
fore applying the dye.
