Now. practically every woman can
use yarnish-paints to brighten dingy
pieces Of furniture. They are not ex.
pensive and they certainly cover many
sins. But remember this You must
thoroughly clean such pieces with soap
and water to remove dirt and under no
circumstances must the wood be paint
ed until It is thoroughly dry. If the
woodwork is cracked melt bessNax
and sealing wax together to fojm 4
paste. rub IL into the cracks OF the
wood and smooth with dull knife;
then paint over It, This is a cabinet
makers secret, and a good one. AL
ways apply varnishes as lightly as
possible and use a good amount OF
turpentne to thin varnish-paintS Do
not put on a second coat until the
paint is perfectly dry.
Bleach all white lace curtains and
bed linen with javelle water and put
blueing in the starch This makes them
as white as when new. II rulfles are
used on curtains, remove the ruffies
and hem the curtains and, IL not too
badly worn, edge the curtains with
cheap lace.
The floor covering must be consid-
cred. II badly soiled, clean the rug
with the following preparation: Chip
one bar of white laundry soap and
melt it i'm one quart of water. When
partially cool add 10 cents worth OF
borax and dimes worth of ether.
This forms a jelly. Add a cup of the
jelly to large pail of water, scrub
the rug or carpet with the lather,
rinse well and rub with clean, dry
cloths DO not add the ether to the
mixture until it is ready for use.
This undoubtedly brightens dead coll
ors. The same mixture is excellent
for scrubbng floors.
To mend linoleum, cut the broken or

An Awful Jolt.

It was II p. m. and the conversation
had begun to lag. Finally the spirit
moved young staylate and he said:
Those Kentucky night riders are
a bad lot, aren't they?"
"Oh, | don't know" reioined Miss
Weariun, as she tried In vain to stran-
gle a yawn. They might be worse
why, how could they?" he asked.
"They might be night sitters,' she
replied.
Whereupon the young man in the
parlor scene suddenly remembered
that his mother might be uneasy about
him and proceeded to fade away.

They Reveal Not The Future But
the Past.

The lines Of the hand reveal not the
future, but the past-so we are told
In an article on THE chiromancy of
the Orangutan," in the Paris Cosmos.
The writer compares the lines of this
great ape with those of man, and
shows the difference Of function in
dicated by their character and ar
rangement. His conclusion is that
there can be no community Of descent
between man and ape We read
The orangutans hand is much long
er and narrower than the human hand.
This is due principally TO the great
elongatlon OF the metacarpal bones;
but the phalanges are also proportion
ately longer than in man. The thumb
is quite short and rudimentary; 1t
does not extend to the end Of the
metacarpal bone OF the index finger.
1t is particularly interesting to COM
pare the lines of the hand in man and
the orangutan. Contrary to the Gus
tom OF the palmists, who choose the
left hand in order to give their do
ings a magical air. we shall choose
the right hand because it is, not
conyentionally, but by natural law,
the most active
II we examine the palm of man we
observe that the lines that exist even
on the fingers are ylsibly due to move
ments Of aexion, since they coincide
with all the joints that allow of these
movements, and that they are changed
into deep burrows when the hand is
entirely closed.
Two very remarkable lines run al
most parallel from the base OF the
index finger to the inner edge of the
thumb. They are about a centimeter
apart. They do not cross the palm
transversally, but very obliquely, the
inner end Of each being much nearer
the wrist than the outer end. These
lines are due to the heXion Of the fin
gers over the palm, and they are deep
er as this bending is more aceentuated.
On the palmar face OF an Crang's
right hand we find n corresponding
series Of lines. -. They are remark
able in that their direction is rather
transyersal than oblique. What is
the meaning of this difference? Prof.
GOOdsir of Edinburgh well indicated
1t some time ago by showing that
mans hand can grasp a sphere, while
a monkeys hand can only grasp a
cylinder.
The oblique lines OF mans hand
show clearly that the fingers do not
fold straight over on the palm, but
are directed somewhat obliquely to-
ward the thumb. Thus the ines due
to this bending movement are oblique.
that is, at right anges with the axis
Of motion-the fingers being opposed
to the thumb. In the Orang, on the
contrary the fingers fold directly over
and the hand is thus better fitted TO
grasp cylindrical object such as the
branch OF tree, whie IL Is not so
well adapted to grasp a sphere, as is
mans hand.
II might be supposed that the lines
in the palm OF the hand are produced
after birth. but this is not so. Sir
William Turner says: These lines
exist on the infants hands ut the mo-
ment Of birth, and | have seen them
in an embryo not more than 80 mill-
meters (SA inches) long. They APP
pear on the palm months before the
child can make any use of its hands.
THE lines are therefore not ac-
quired after birth. They must be
regarded aS hereditary characteristics

Ex Mayor Reeves had an experience
during the last few weeks he was IN office
that was pretty trying on the patience.
A man stopped of here who had badly
injured foot. The mayor had Dr. Nc.
Csrtv examine the foot, and it was found
some Of the bones were crushed. Mayor
Reeves decided that this town ought to
save the fellows foot if possible. He ar
ranged for medical attendance and was
looking for su table place to board the
man when the fellow began insisting on
being sent on. He said he had relatives
at Kansas City, and he wanted to reach
there at once. He was advised that he
had better stay here, and have his foot
treated, that he would be taking big
chance on losing it. If be went further.
He insisted on going on east, and ticket
as far as Hutchinson was furnished him
After he reached Hutchinson, a new
daily paper started there a few months
ago, published wild and wooly story OF
how this man had been brutally pitched
out Of Dodge City, at the risk of losing
his life. Whether 1t was the man, or
the reporter doing the lying was not
learned. Either way 1t was a nasty fling
at Dodge City, and the mayor, who had
even spent money out Of bis own pocket
in looking after the injured stranger was
heartily disgusted.

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
North Dakota. The 1909 crop will

that it may be only ten days to two

Patten still declares that there is an
actual shortage Of wheat in the world

will be a shortage lasting through
next year, and says that his advice to
farmers is to hold their wheat next
fall rather than to be in q hurry to
