We have been imposed upon, 1t
seems. Early TO bed, early to rise,
makes a man nervous, grouchy, subject
to insomnia and a neurasthenic. After
suffering all these years from the hon.
lies Of the early-rlsing maniac, this
news is welcome. When next the flend
presents himself at the bedside, dis
guised as an alarm clock, and armed
with a panopoly of proverbs, he may be
put to route by two shafts Of scientific
authority-one from DR.. Savary, who
told the members of the French Acad-
envy the other day that early rising Is
most likely to drive q man insane; the
other from DR.. Forbes Ross Of London,
who comes on the scene with the awful
warning that persons with weak hearts
who have jumped up, awaking early,
have sometimes fallen back dead. Defy
the alarm clock, therefore. Science has
spoken. Ninety per cent of the early
rlsers end by suffering from insomnia,
says science. Rarely do science and In
clinatiOn so coincide. When they do,
the opportunity ought not to be missed.

How to Clean Brasses, Bronzes and
Wrought Iron.

>,
Wrought Iron.
To clean brasses quickly and eco
nomically, rub them we'll with vinegar
and salt or OXalic acid and salt Wash
Immediately after the rubbing, and
polish with tripoli and sweet oil. I'm
less the acid is washed off the thing

estate will be worse than its first
Copper kettles and sauccpans. brass
and irons, Tenders. candlesticks and
trays are best cleaned with vinegar
and salt Cooking vessels in constant
use need only to be we'll washed after
ward. Things for show, even pots and
pans, need the oil polishing. which
gives a deep rich yellow luster, good
for six months.
OXalic acid and salt is the thing for
furniture brasses. If it touches the
wood around it, it only improves the
tone. Wipe the brasses we'll with a
Oil and tripoli Sometimes powdered
rottenstone does better than tripoi.
Rub after using either with u dry
cloth or leather until there is no trace
of oil. No matter what sort of brass
Is to be cleaned. it must first be freed
completely from grease, caked dirt and
CRIME. Wash with strong ammonia
suds, rinse and dry before beginning
with the acid and salt.
The best treatment for wrought iron
or wrought steel, which both have a
knack of growing gray and lusterless,
is to first wash it very clean with
stiff brush and ammonia soapsuds,
rinse well. dry-by heat if possible
then oil plentifully with sweet oil, and
dust thickly with powdered quicklime.
Let the lime stay on two days, then
brush it off with a clean very stiff
brush. Polish with softer brush
and rub with cloths until the lus-
ter comes out. This ought to give
the color of iron in daily use, which
is nearly the most beautiful in the
whole range of metals. BY leaving the
lime on iron and steel may be kept
from rust almost indefinitely.
Before wettng any sort of bric-a-
brac. and especially bronzes. remove
all the dust possible. The less dust
water finds about fine lines and cram
MES the less it can leave there. After
busting wash we'll in strong white
soapsuds and ammonia. rinse clean,
polish with just a suspicion of oil and
rottenstone, and rub off afterward
every trace of the oil. Never let acid
touch a bronze surface unless one
wishes to eat and pit it for antique
effects

The Scent of Flowers.

Banchon. the naturalist. says that
most floral perfumes are in reality ex-
chants. which stimulate and then prIo-
woke a reaction-that is. weakness
equal to the quantity Of power en-
ployed at the moment of eXcitation.
Perfumes, in fact. act as alcohol acts.
Their chief virtue Is their antiseptic
quality. The bacilli of typhoid has
been killed in from twelve to eighty
minutes by different essences. Scent
giving flowers are not. as is often stat
ed, bad in sickrooms. But they should
be chosen in view of their effects on
the nervous system or of their anti
septic qualities. Growing flowers are
the best. Flowers with delicate per-
fumes act favorably OIL Mhe nervous
system.

HIRED GIRL, HIRED MAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Considerable fuss was recently made
because an eastern millionaire has
stopped" to marry hired girl living
in Iowa.
Why?
The girl must have graces and per-
sonal points or the millionaire would
not have chosen her. And it is safe to
say that morally she is his equal if not
his superior.
There is no STOPPING about it.
They were on level, or, If anything,
the hired girl was just little above
the millionaire.
All Of US in America who amount to
anything are hired people.
No doubt this millionaire is a hired
man in charge Of some big corporation.
Roosevelt is a hired man.
And SO are all our senators and con-
gressmen and diplomats-servants in
the pay Of the people.
And. fellow citizens:
One Of the things that are the matter
with this country Is the growing tend
ency to look down on the man who
works with his hands or the woman
who works with her hands.
The tendency is devlish and danger
OuS
Let us learn again that the hands
that are SCARED by honest toll bear
wounds as honorable as those received
in battle. The overalls and the ging
ham aprons Of labor are as honorable
as and vastly more useful than all the
martial trappings and uniforms of war
Let US learn again that the doctrine
of the dignity of labor Is fundamental
to the republic.
And so we say hurrah for the hired
girl and the hired man. these two who
loved each other for what they were
and paid no attention to the accidents
Of fortunes!

THE USEFUL TUPELO.
Formerly Despised Tree Produces
Valuable Timber.

Formerly Despised Tree Produces
Valuable Timber.
The latest discoveries of valuable
qualities in formerly neglected spe-
cles of tree resulted after an investi-
CATION Of the tupelo gum, which finds
its home In the southern swamps. Tu-
pelo two years ago was little known
and seldom used even in the parts of
the country where it is most plentiful.
In the cutting of cypress in the gulf
states. where tupelo is found in large
quantities. the trees were disregarded.
1t was found that the prejudice then
existing against the wood was caused
by lack of knowledge of it's proper
ties and lack of care in handling the
material. The Investigations carried
on by the United States forest service
have proved the value of the wood for
number of uses. The result of these
studies largely removed the prejudices
against this gum, and In short time
the demand for tupelo rapidly In
creased.
The wood Is now widely used not
only In the states where it grows, but
also in distant parts Of the country, in
the manufacture Of wooden pumps,
sounding boards for violins and organs.
mantels and interior finishing. such as
molding, door and window frames and
door jambs. 1t Is also manufactured
into all kinds of lumber, including n
good grade Of edge grain flooring. Tu-
peo gum in the form Of flooring was
recently found competing successfully
with Douglas fir In the Los Angeles
market, even though bearing freight
rate Of 50 cents hundredweight from
Its source Of production in Louisiana.

The aphs and other insect pests
which are so troublesome on pot plants
can be put to utter rout by the follow
ing simple plan, says Suburban Life:
Place the infested plants in any large
wooden or tin box that is provided
with tight fitting lid. as, for instance,
a common tin wash boiler. Put live
coal or two on flower pot saucer i'll
the bottom of the box and sprinkle
some finely cut tobacco on the Goals.
Shut the lid quickly and securely. so as
TO retain all the fumes of the burning
tobacco. Leave plants for fifteen min
utes. and every insect will be dead.
Care must be taken not to burn too
much tobacco or the heat will injure
the plants.

The recent Conference of Governors
has brought out strikingly the fright.
full waste of the country's natural re-
sources that is going on in every direc-

ii as an object lesson on the need of
granting a voice in public affairs to
women, who are the economical sex,
Fifty years ago Theodore Parker said
one reason why he favored woman
suffrage was because few old women
kept house so wastefully as chancel-
lors of the e~xchequer keep the state.
