HINTS.

Be prompt with home repairs and
the house will look ten times smarter
than when little damages are per.
mitted to be in evidence.
Mother of pearl should never be
washed with soap, for it discolOrs and
destroys the brilliancy of the shell.
The right method Of cleaning is with
whitening and cold water.
A tablespoonful of alum we'll stirred
into four gallons of water will cause
all impurities to settle to the bottom,
when the water will be fit for use. OF
course, the water must not be touched
during the settling process.
When ironing handkerchiefs begin
ironing in the middle. Ironing the
edges first causes the middle to swell
out and makes it very difficult to iron
and fold them properly. Test the
iron on a piece of rag or paper to pre-
vent any accident by scorching.
To clean marble take two parts Of
soda, one of pumice and one Of salt
(all in POWDER and mix to a paste
with water. Rub this on the marble,
not forgetting to add some "elbow
grease" and wash off with salt water.
Finish with clean cold water and a
soft cloth.

PRUNE SERVED IN NEW WAY.
Prepared Thus 1t Makes the Daintiest
Sweet Imaginable.

If you want the daintiest sweet
imaginable to nibble on this afternoon,
go right out to the kitchen now and
put some prunes on to soak. Several
hours later, perhaps right after din
ner, stew them in the same water.
Then drain them, and when they are
cold, take. the stones out, just as you
would treat dates.
Boil together IL cups of sugar, one
half square chocolate and three-fourths
cup of milk until q thick strip is
formed; then add one-kalf cup chopped
English walnut or pecan meats. Re
move from the fire; add a half-tea-
spoon vanilla and beat until creamy.
Fill the prunes with the mixture and
press the edges together. Dissolve
an ounce of gum arabic in a pint CT
water and dip each plume in it; then
in graduated sugar. Set in a warm
place until dry, and you won't recog-
nize your humble old friend, the prime,
in its new guise.

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL Experiment
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-UsefuI, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chem
and usually educative. Here is a SIM
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which Is instructive in a
very practical way: Get a bit of White
Lead about the size of a pea, a piece
Of charcoal, a common candle in a
candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out a little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and II
the White Lead is pure it will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
glObules Of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, it will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also Of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it, they will send free a
blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer.
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit Of the whole commu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, a club is organized in a
single block, and merchants on each
eide of the street are persuaded to
Join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is ha9 &c see how it can
be done, how much it viii cost and
what it is worth. The plan has workef
SO successfully that organizations are
s%pringing up all v the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads. in a widening circle

Nutnees Have Medicinal Qualities.

Nutmegs have medicinal qualities
which make them most useful in the
treatment of various illnesses.
In cases of collie and d~ysentery, for
instance. nutmeg, very finely powdered
and mixed with a little milk, often has
a most beneficial effect. For children,
one-sixth to one-third of a teaspoon
full, according to age, should be given,
and for older people from one to two
teaspoonfuls every two hours.
Sleeplessness is often relieved in the
same manner, for nutmegs have very
soothing qualities.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies yer thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. .
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
M~ennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Campaigning Against Grade Crossings

In Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin-the rich Middle West -an official campaign on the part of railroad commissions has been begun against grade crossings. Not only arc lives sacrificed on such crossings, but business is interrupted and everybody is made to wait on switching engine with a few box cars attached.
 The truth is grade crossings should be abolished everywhere-in the coun- try as well as in the towns. In Eu- ropean countries such crossings were long ago abolished, and the time has come in which to begin the work in this country.
 This city is sliced into at least three parts by the railroads, and patience mas ceased to be virtue in connection with them. The people have waited the pleasure of few old box cars and a smoke-emitting engine a long time, and the toleration has nearly reached it's end.
 Birmingham will not be an up-to- date city until it's grade crossings are abolished. The board of aldermen has attamnted tO abolish fham cavara1 times, but it has ended as it had been begun, in talk only. Action is needed, and the people should keep this sub- Ject in mirid when they next vote for city officers.

Interstate EXtraditiOn

The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Henry Clay Pierce of the Standard Oil con- rany, who is wanted for trial in Texas brings up anew the entire subject of extradition. The court said in the Pierce case:
 ''This court has said that an indict- ment, in order to constitute a sufficient charge of crime to warrant interstate extradtion, need show no more than that the accused was substantially charged with crime. This indictment meets and surpasses that standard and is enough. If more were required it would impose upon courts in the trial of writs of habeas corpus, the duty of a critical examination of the laws of the state, with whose Jurisprudence and criminal procedure they can have only federal acquaint- ance. Such a duty would be an intol- erabe burden, certain to lead to errors, irritable to the just pride of the state and fruitful of miscarriages of justice"
 Pierce will have to go to Texas to be tried. He is substantially charged there with crime, and after years of fighting he has been defeated, and he will have to accept justice at the hands of a Texas jury.
 But why is not ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky extradited? He is sub- stantially charged with murder. When Is extradition mandatory on state and when it it not? This question IS not raised In the Pierce case, for the governor of Missouri stands ready 10 hand him over to the Texas authori- ties. But the governors of Indiana for eight years have refused to hand over Taylor. Possibly a democratic gov ernor in Indiana would extradite him, and some day Indiana will have one. Extradition after all has a narrow constitutional basis, so narrow that each state seems to consult its own will regardless of the will of other states.
