To remove shiny spots from black
wooden garments place the garment,
whether coat, trousers or dress, on
an ironing board. Wiring a cloth
from water, spread carefully over
the garment, then pass hot flatiron
back and forth just above the wet
cloth as closely as you can without
touching it. The nap will rise and
the shine disappear.
If you suspect that there are
moths in your carpets, try to To-
cate their hiding place. Wiring a
coarse cloth out of clean water and
spread it smooth on the spot in the
carpet where you think the moths
are. Iron the wet cloth with hot
iron. The steam will kill the moths
and eggs.

Bran Water a Cleaner.

Few people know how useful bran
is for cleaning. For painted and var
nished woodwork it is invaluable, re-
moving the dirt without destroying
the finish.
Colored goods, which usually fade
when washed, will not lose color If
washed in bran water. 1t is excel
lent as a scalp cleanser and is good
for the hair, making it glossy.
Used instead of soap it whitens
and softens the hands.
To prepare bran water, fill small
bag-an ordinary salt bag is ex-
cellent for this purpose-with bran,
place 1t in a pail, cover with boiling
water, and 1t is ready for use.

Drill Brigade Girls Yeomanry, twen-
ty-f1ve strong, is showing what
mounted horses could do in the field.
The innovation will be brought
unoficially to the notice of the Brit
ish military department at the next
annual show of the navy and army,
and 1t is believed the army medical
corps will give the idea more than
passing consideration. The work of

every army officer who witnesses it.

Is to bind up the wounds of any SOL

they do in their regular drills with
surprising proficiency.
Army officers are already discuss
ing the practicability of the plan.
The most reasonable objection urged
is the question of being able to
mount nurses where every available
horse is needed for fighting and
transport work. Most of the officers
admit that the women would be in
valuable if they could be equipped
and so maintained.
Admittedly it would be out of the

some silver ware, china, pictures,
cut glass and a liberal check.

from the ceiling to where IL was
fastened with a large rosette. The
mantel was draped in wisteria
strips and the initials OF the

give a reason why she had never
been a bride. Many jinglets OF

were: a,s

ty could be;
But OF all the whole number not

{ ~SANAToRIuM.

Some particulars are given in the
British Medical Journal of a pro-
posal to provide an ocean sanatori-
UNI for tuberculosis. The suggestion
is to fit up a sailing ship of about
1000 tons for not less than 50 pa
tients, each to be provided with a
large and well-ventilated cabin. The
deck would be used for what is COM
monty called the veranda treatment.
The intention of the promoters is
that the ship shall cruise in the
neighborhood of the Canaries, where
it will have the advantage of the
trade winds and Of an equable eli
mate, while a port will not be far
distant in cases Of the onset Of bad

association selected Elk Lick
Springs.
The date OF holding the hunt
was fixed for the week commence
ing May "a, on which day the hunt
ers will go into camp at Elk Lick
Springs. A circular letter will be
issued by Secretary Morey during
the present week inviting fox and
wolf hunters in different parts Of
the state to join in the chase,
which 1t Is believed will be an ex-
citing and enjoyable one. The at
tendance OF hunters at the Elk Lick

dicted will be much larger than at

There are Visiting housekeepers
for the rich, who arrive at the
house every morning to consult
with the mistress as to her social
plans for the day, the number and
character OF her dinner guests who
meets the cook later I'd plan the
menus, arrange the detail OF table
decoration with the butler, looks al
ter the various tag-ends OF house
hold economics, and, having wound
the machinery for the day, departs
for her next establishment.
This housekeeper Is an expensive
luxury which only the very rich
can enjoy, yet the housekeeper
for the poor is even effec-
tive since abe teaches her patrons
to keep houae themselves.
She is not a luxury, che Is an
economy, for her chief work is TO
teach people to live within their

MEANING OF WORD "MELBA"
New Construction Put by London Sat.
urday Review on Name Of the
Great Diva.

The word "Melba" has come to
mean more than an artist possessed
Of perhaps the most perfect vocal
organ Of her day, says the London
Saturday Review. 1t has come to
mean crowded audiences, double
prices, long packed lines Of motor
cars and carriages, rows upon rows
Of waiting footmen, flowers, emo
lions, a golden superhuity of money,
and that touch of solemnity with
which we crown our enthusiastic. In
a word, Melba has become a conven-
ton and in raising her to that level
the Anglo-Saxon world has conferred
upon her the most cherished patent
at its disposal. Everything that
Melba means could be e and
studied in the Albert hall the other
Saturday afternoon, when many
thousands of people spent thousands
of pounds and thousands of hours Of
life to hear her sing a few songs of
farewell before her departure for an
absence of two years from our shores.

building in London, the loveliest and

hand, his observations prove to be

prisoners under punishment for ar
son and for counterfeiting measured
