Suggestions For the Housewife


 A little flour sprinkled in the pan when eggs are frying will prevent the suptter- ing hot fat that is so disagreeable.
 Mud stains may be removed from tan leather shoes by rubbing them with slices of raw potato. When dry, polish in usual way.
 Finger marks on paint can be easily re- moved by rubbing them with clean white cloth dipped in kerosene. The wood should afterward be wiped with dry cloth.
 If muslin curtains are needed in a hurry for a kitchen or bathroom, they can be washed, slightly starched, shaken hard, pulled into shape and hung up without ironing
 Sheets, pillowcases, towels, tablecloths-- all folded lnens-should be laid upon the shelves with the open and hemmed ends toward the wall, the round folds outward The effect is heater to the eye, and articles are more easily taken out
 Small punctures in hot water bags or rubber gloves may be replaced by apply ing a small patch of talior's mendng tis- sue; moisten with common choloform, lay on a second patch and moisten again, until four or five patches have been ap- plied. The chloroform dissolves the tissue, and when it evaporates leaves a firm patch.

WHAT WAS HOWARD GOULD'S
 DUTY?

There is hardly anything in this world that does not appear in vary ing lights from different angles, though there are many things that at first glance seem to be wholly One- sided. Now, for instance, there is the case of Mrs. Katherine Clem- mems Gould, who the evidence in the present separation suit discloses is not an earnest White Ribboner and is not in hearty sympathy with the purposes of the W. C. T. U. Mrs Gould, it appears, is something of a boozer. She is given to drinking more than she can gracefully carry and it is said that on occasions she richochetts from one piece of furni- ture to another.
 Testimony of course proves noth- ing, but merely tends to prove. In this case it tends to establish the contention of the defendant, her hus- band, that he abandoned her on ac- count of her habits of intoxication.
 This habit in some states is a rec ognized ground for separation or di- Norce and so would likely be con- sidered a sufficient ground for an informal separation. Mrs. Gould's attorney advances the new and start ling theory that if it is true that his client is a drunkard. the act of her husbands abandonment was all the worse. That is, of course. that it was his duty to guard her all the more carefully on account of that weakness.
 It is hard to say how the jury will look at it but it is certain that not many men or women in this broad land will be convinced that it is the duty of the sober partner to a mar riage to become and remain an in ebriate asylum for the drunken hus- band or wife.

The ambitious plan to list United States Steel securities on the Paris Bourse is not meeting with the hoped for success. Various obstacles in the form of several varieties of taxes had been fairly overcome, when the minister of finance, through the Bourse authorities, is understood to have interposed his veto. It is hoped, rather than expected, that the objec- tions will be withdrawn and the speculative Frenchmen allowed to operate regularly in the American speciality. Many financiers in Paris think that the promoters will be lucky if the securities are free to be dealt in by the coulisse, which corresponds to the New York curb.
