How to Handle Fine Carriages
The following instructions are given
by an experienced carriage builder i'm
reference to the care of fine carriages
Freshly vanished carriages should be
washed frequently and exposed to the
air In the shade and should not be COW
cred until the varnish has become
hard. Mud allowed to dry upon fresh
varnish will leave spots, and exposure
to ammonia will destroy fresh varnish
Plenty of water should be used and
great care taken that it is not driven
into the body of the carriage, to the
injury of the lining. For the body
panels a large soft sponge must be
used and when saturated squeezed
over the panels, and thus by the flow
ing down Of the water the dirt will be
softened and run off harmlessly. Care
should be taken to wipe the surface
dry with soft chamois leather. Never
use the same sponge and chamois for
panels which are used for running
gear. Never use soap on vanished
surfaces, and only take off the grease
and dirt around the hubs and axles.

How to Save Gas on ironing Days.


When using gas stove to heat the
irons for ironing much gas can be
saved by buying a tin pan large
enough ito fit over the number of fiat
irons used. A dishpan is excellent for
this purpose. Make hole in the bot
tim of the pan and fasten a holder
here. Small wooden knobs can be
bought for 8 cents at any hardware
store. The knob should be fastened
on the outside of the pan. Use this
pan to cover the irons with. and they
will keep the night heat with the gas
turned much lower. You will be sur
prised at the amount of gas this will
save and how hot the irons will be to
work with. 1t is not difficult to re-
move the pan when the irons need
changing, as the wooden handle will
mot become hot.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

irons to heat put brick in the oven
to heat also. Put on end Of board for
an iron stand. 1t keeps the irons hot
80 much longer This is fine when
pressing.
When making starch If it is stirred
until nearly cool there will be crust
form on top. Do not put soap grease,
wax or anything Of that kind in your
starch. 1t is bad for the clothes. Just
use pinch Of borax, and the irons
will never stick. The clothes are stiff
er, and the borax is whitening. Add
drop or two Of bluing to the starch.
Put in the borax before turning on

IT was neither the season nor
the hour when the park had
freQuenters, and it is likely
that the young lady who was
seated ON one Of the benches at the
side of the walk had merely obeyed a
sudden impulse to sit for awhile and
enjoy foretaste of coming spring
A tall young man came striding
through the park along the path near
which she sat. Behind him tagged a
boy carrying a suit case. At sight of
the young lady the mans face chang
ed to red and back to pale again. He
watched her countenance as he drew
nearer with hope and anxiety mingled
on his own. He passed within few
yards of her, but he saw no evidence
that she was aware of his presence or
existence.
Some fifty yards farther on he sud-
denly stopped and sat on a bench at
one side. The boy dropped the suit
case and stared at him with wonder
Ing shrewd eyes. The young man
took out his handkerchief and wiped
his brow. 1t was a good handkerchief,
a good brow, and the young man was
good to look at. He said to the boy:
81 want you to take a message to
that young lady on that bench. Tell
her l am on my way to the station to
leave for San Francisco, where L shall
join that Alaska moose hunting eXpe-
dition. Tell her that since she has
commanded me neither to speak nor to
write to her l take this means of
making one last appeal to her sense of
Justice for the sake of what has been.
Tell her that to condemn and discard
one who has not deserved such treat
ment without giving him her reasons
or a chance to explain is contrary to
her nature as | believe it to be. Tel
her that l have thus to a certain de
gree disobeyed her injunctions in the
hope that she may yet be inclined to
see justice done. Go and tell her
that"
The young man dropped a half dol
lar into the boys hand The boy
looked at him for a moment with
bright, canny eyes out of a dirty. in
telligent face and then set off at a
run. He approached the lady on the
bench little doubtfully, but unembar-
rassed. He touched the brim of the
old plaid bicycle cap perched on the

The young man gave low whistle.
and his eyes flashed with a sudden
thought. His hand flew to the inside
pocket of his coat and drew out a
handful of letters. Selecting one, he
handed it to the boy, following it with
a silver dollar from his vest pocket
''Give that letter to the lady" he
