A heavy muslin has not sufficient

We must bear in mind that we can

To Clean Sponqes.

Soiled sponges can be quickly fresh
ened by rubbing the juice Of lemon
well into them then rinsing several
times, first in hot water and then in
cold.
Too much care cannot be taken to
keep sponge absolutely fresh. as mic

An occasional sunbath is excellent
and a thorough washing with am

not be omitted.

father. He warmly supported the pre-

he had no difficulty in getting Senior

while away the time smoking a big
black cigar.
One day Ariella. in the lightest way
possible, limited to Vincent that Mr.
Browns popularity was due not SO
much to his conversation as to his
cigars. The hint was quickly acted
upon. Not smoker himself, he was
willing to provide any number OF big
black cigars for Senior Nunez, but he
and his cigars were politely scorned.

THIRTY YEARS ROSTER
OF FERRELL'S BOYS
BALANCED TO A CENT
Cash In Planters Bank and
Trust Co. Counted.

Owing to a change in the cashier
of the Planters Bank and Trust Co.,
the officers of the bank spent a great
part of Saturday night in counting
the coin and broken. packages of cur
rency in the banks vaults. The new
cashier, Mr.. A. H. Eckles, assisted in
the count and proved to bean expert
in this class of work, About $4,000
was counted and the books of the
bank and the cash on hand balanced
tie a cent. This is something re-
markable and very unusual, as it is
considered almost impossible for a
few pennies not to be lost, or to be
left lying on the counters, to put the
books out of balance a few cents at
least in term of years. The result
of the count was highly compliment
airy to the scrupulous care and ex-
actness of Mr.. John B. Trice, the
retiring cashier, in his business mat
tiers. Mr.. Eckles took charge as
cashier yesterday and Mr.. Trice is
now vice president of the City Bank.
