WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. q. 1908.


Nasr-ed-din, the Persian snah' was
an intensely superstitious man and De-
Iievea that his luck lay in his beauu-
ful black Persian cat, which was re-
markably handsome cat In a lana
where cats are nearly all handsome.
Tho shah never allowed the black cat
70 be away from him, and 1t was given
IN charge of one OF his wives, Amin
Aedas who was styled "the wife OF
the cat" -,
When the shah went on his long
shooting expeditions, the Persian cat
was nut into a decorated basket ana
farried by special attendant directly
behind his master. Unluckily one oay
an accident occurred, and the black
cat came to an untimely end. The
shah was in despair at the loss of bis
luch bringer. but the clever wife OF
fine cat' exerted her influence and
brought her nephew under the shah's
notice. The lad was sharp enough TO
make the most Of an accident 0lanned
by his aunt and save the shah's lie,
and the monarch was so pleased that
he gave the boy the name OF tine
cherished of the sovereign" and ID
stalled the new luck bringer.

DANISH THE SAND SOAP.
Other Things Much Better for Cleans
ina Of Kitchen Utensils.

It is the custom Of many housewives
to use sand soap for securing and
cleaning almost anything in tin or
agate ware in their kitchen.
This is great mistake, as sand soap
is injurious to some kinds Of kitchen
ware. A bottle of ammonia and a bot
tie Of kerosene are very useful for
cleaning some Of the utensils which
will not stand such a strenuous rub
bing.
For instance, If you will put few
drops of ammonia in your frying pan it
will work wonders. You can also put
it in the coffee pot occasionally when
you are scalding it.
Galvanized iron and agate ware
should be wiped with kenosene, as the
sand soap will in time wear away the
enamel. If you burn your agate ware
pan out a teaspoonful of borax or
washing soda in the pan with hot wa
ter and boil for Is minutes.
After this the burned substance can
be easily removed. Never, whatever
you do, use sand soap on an enameled
sink.

all that is required is to plant your seed in an
ticpation of the time you wish to gather your
harvest; in due time the seed sends forth its
shoots, which blossom, develop fruit that ripens
and may be harvested, whether it be October, May
or December.
What wealth this for the island and to

vantage is taken of all that nature has done for

The hillsides and the valleys of this little ISL

conditions that would support a large nation.
Mineral wealth is unnecessary here the real
wealth which is perpetual and inexhaustible. is
in the fertility of the soil and the climate condi
tions which have produced such fertility.
There is no ice, no snow. frost here. The
rainy season is less severe and extends over
greater period of time than in any other portion
of the world There is said to be rainfall in some
part Of the island every month in the year, and

CLEANING THE EMPTY ROOM.
Systematic Methods to Use for Thoe.
ouQh Renovation.

First thing to be done in the dis
mantled room is to sweep the door
to get rid of the dust. Sweep ceilings
and walls and go all over the wallpa-
per. bit by bit. with a piece of stale
bread.
The painted woodwork must be
washed with soap and water and then
well dried The floor is scrubbed with
water to which has been added little
liquid ammonia. We must not for
get to give it plenty Of "elbow grease"
and good drying
To clean the windows begin with
the inside. dust the window ledge and
other woodwork round the glass and
then with sponge (Which must be
kept specially for the purpose), wipe
the glass all over. Use warm water,
to which is added a few drops of am.
monia. After wiping with the sponge
take a wash leather, dip it in the wa
ter, rinse it out tightly and 60 over
the window with it. then dry the glass
with soft cloth and polish.
II possible choose a time of day
when the sun is not shining on the
window: the part on which the sun
shines with most force will dry more
quickly than the rest and will give to
the glass a streaky appearance.
An easy way to remove paint marks
from window panes is to smear the
glass with turpentine. After leaving
the turpentine on few minutes you
will find on rubbing that the paint
will come of easily.
