HITS TOM SHEVLIN
Waterbury American Editorial ly Takes Fling at His Coach
 ing Abilities.
MINNESOTA IS RECALLED
Opinion Expressed That He Has Given His Time to Coaching Re-
 pOrtcrs.

The Waterbury American editorial ly takes little fling at Tom Shevlin and his coaching of the Yale football team The American last night says:
 The tone of certain long dispatches emanating from New Haven. that ap- pear In the New York papers, shows that Tom Sheylin has arrived. Every thing has been done over, and he has done 1t. The line has been reorgan- lzed, the backs changed. the ends braced up. Everything is different, including the spirit of the men. Re- ports say that Shevin has done 1t, and that his picturesque figure, In neatly fitting citizens clothes. in big checks, going down the field with the charging team. and his stimulating voice, make most insplriting spectacle. He himself Is full of con- fdence, saying: "lf l had three days more with this team I'd feel safe about Princeton. feel safe, any how" This Is quite different from the usual Yale modesty before game We confess to being little afraid of 1t. We cant help remembering that Shevlin has been one of the coache: of Nhe Minnesota team, that great things were expected of it. and that Staggs Chicago men wiped the eartl with them when they met. Shevlir was one of the greatest players In the world. But Hinkeys manner i' much quieter and his coaching has always proved effective We suspect that he and Tad Jones, Biglow anG Walter Camp are still in New Haven shevlin Is apparently coaching the re porters.

How to Clean Mahooanx.

Spread parafine oil on the soiled
woodwork and let it stand for an hour
or more to soften the dirt, then wash
with soap and warm water and wipe
dry.
Next run on mixture of paraffine
oil and turpentine-one third turpen-
tine and two-thirds oil. Polish with
soft old flannel Let it rest for an
hour or two, then polish with soft old
linen.
If the surface is very dull, dirty and
scratched, instead of washing with
soap and water, add more oil and
sprinkle powdered rottenstone over it.
Rub gently and regularly, first with a
circular motion and then with the
grain of the wood.
When the surface is smooth and
bright wipe off the rottenstone and
finish as you would after washing with
the soap and water.

BEST USE OF DIslNFecTANTs
knowledge That Every Good House.
keeper Should Have.

Every household needs disinfecting
and the proper use of the ordinary de.
odorizers is knowledge that every
good housekeeper should have. Not
only do these useful things make a
mousse pleasanter to live in, but thew
also make it healthful So many good
disinfectants are on the market at the
present time that there is a wide
choice for the careful woman. They
are classed under three headings:
Disinfectants which purify the wa
ter, air, clothes, etc.; antiseptics that
arrest putrefaction, and deodorizers
that destroy disagreeable smells.
Heat, of course, is a powerful disin.
fectant, and boiling water may be used
when it is practicable and possible to
reach the spot to be disinfected.
When obliterating traces of disease
measles, scarlet fever, typhoid, diph-
theria-burn sulphur in the room after
stopping all cracks and crevices with
newspapers so that it will be alright.
During the illness a sheet saturated
with solution of carbolic acid should
be hung over the doorways, even
when the doors are shut, to protect the
other members of the family from pos.
sible contagion.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If the knife and fingers are slightly
buttered when seeding raisins the
work will be robbed of its sickness
and discomfort.
A pinch of salt will make the white
OF an egg beat quicker, and pinch of
borax in cooked starch will make the
clothes sitter and whittier.
Sunshine is destructive to mirrors.
1t causes the glass to assume a milky
appearance, and the mirror will never
be so clear again in spite of whatever
is done to it.
To clean silver trimmings-Cover
the surface with well dried and finely
powdered magnesia, and let it lie for a
couple of hours. Afterward rub in the
powder and brush off with a hard
brush.
In ironing the plat of the back of
a shirtwaist, on which the tiny but

HOW TO TEST LINsEeD OIL

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad in
its way as authorizations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
OF colors which kerosene exhibits, II
is evidence Of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of a blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address,
