USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

i [
Gasoline when properly used 10 almos
indispensable in the household, but il
careless hands it isvery dangerous. Whei
possible it should be used out of doors
and never in heated or closed room, a
it is infiammable and explosive. For al
who have to economic gasoline is I
friend. In the spring when ready tc
start sewing, oil the machine generously
with Lasoline, let it stand over night
then rub it off with soft wooden cloth,
then with email camel's hair paint
brush apply the least possible quantity Of
bicycle or typewriter oil, and you will
have clean, IiRht-running machine.
White kid shoes or slippers or belts
may be cleaned with gasoline. Rub
them with soft wooden cloth dipped in
the liquid. stand out Of doors to dry, on
shoe trees if you have them, and every
one should.
In removing spot from garment with
gasoline or any other cleanser an un-
slightly ring is sometimes left. 70 avoid
this, place under the spot piece of ab.
sorbent cotton or tissue paper. II you
use much liquid try white blotter; it
absorbs the surplus moisture nicely.
In cleaning white gloves with gasoline,
pour it into basin, put on :he gloves
and go through performance as though
washing the hands, and if the gloves are
much soiled a little white CASTLE soap
may be rubbed on them. Then rinse
while still on the hands with more clean
gasoline. When light-colored gloves
have been worn with dark dresses the
dye stains the seams and finger tips; il
it should not all come of, rub these places
with dry lump magnesia.
II you have much-soiIed silk or net
waist, or cliId's dress or coat, put half
gallon of gasoline in cuInA basin, dis
solve one square inch of white CASTLE soap
in it, inmerse the article. let it soak at
least half an hour, then shake and toss
it through the soapy gasoline and rub it
very gently between the hands. II the
dirt has not all disappeared repeat the
treatment, then rinse twice in fresh gaso-
line to remove the soap. Hang it in the
shade where a brisk current of air will
strike it. When perfectly dry press with
a warm iron. All white embroidered or
lace centrepieces and silk shawls look like |
new when cleaned in the above manner.
Gasoline will remove grease spots from
wall paper and furniture.
An easy way tosweep hard carpet is
to take several newspapers, soak them
till they will tear easily; spread all over
the foor,S and the dust sticks to the wet
newspaper and not to theifurniture.
To remove scorch, dissolve as much /
borax in basin of water as it will take
and set it on the stove to keep.hot. Soak
the scorched garment in the borax and
lay it in the hot sun; as soon as'it dries
repeat the process and continue to do so
until the scorch has been removed.
When you clean. your pantry shelves
fold together at least four sheets Of news
papers, the longest way of the piper.
Place the fold of paper TO the front OF the
shelf, and fit itcarefuily; and when clean
papers are wanted again, slip knife In
the fold Of the outer sheet and cut the
entire length, and now the soiled sheet I
can be removed, In this manner your
shelves can always be kept niceand clean,
and you will fud that is is no trouble.

LABOR CAMPAIGN
FOR TRIAL BY JURY

NEW YORK. Nov. 5-John Mitchell,
vice-president OF the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has asserted that the
decision Of the Court OF Appeals up
holding the decision Of Judge Wright
sentencing him and Sampel Gompers
and Frank Morrison to jail for con-
tempt would bring about a national
campaign for free speech and trial by
jury In labor injunction cases.
'Next week. he said. "the American
Federation Of Labor will hold q con-
vention at Toronto, at which a definite
plan OF action viii be decided. The Of
ficers Of the American Federation of
Labor viii also hold a conference with
their attorneys for the purpose Of dis
oussing action to make such decisions
impossible in the future.
1.-THE adverse decision rendered will
provoke a contest Of national scope for
the establishment Of the constitutional
right Of trial by jury in all cases in
volving imprisonment. The contest
will be the most extensive one ever
undertaken and viii be prosecuted until
it is so firmly established that no
United States court will ever under
take again to deny American citizens
the right to be tried by q jury before
being sentenced.

STYLES In COFFINS
GREATLY CHANGED
Once They We're Only Black,
Now in Number of
COlOrS

How many people know there is a
large difference between a coffin and
"a caslSet. large not only In the way
that they are made. but large in the
difference in the cost. a coffin can be
bought as cheap as SIS and look pre-
sentable enough for a modest funeral,
but a caslyet cannot be had under S45.
A coffin may be recognized by its
shape which IS rounded at the head
and comes nearly TO a point at the
foot. A caslSet Is a long rectangular
shaped box that can cost as much as
Sl.250 or more.
Styles in cofins have changed as the
years have gone by Just as styles in
clothes do. once upon a time there
were black, brown. or white caslxets;
now they come in a number Of colors
and in different shades of the same
color. Il might be interesting to know
that one Of the largest undertaking
establishments states that the greatest
demand is for black broadcloth covered
cedar caskets These are not cheap
by any means. but for some reason
they seem TO be popular just now.
one would hardly think there would
be much trouble about pleasing the
AAhAAAh AAA AAAN AAANAAANA va NNAAAAAo VI
caskets for the dead. but there are
tastes in this matter as well as in
everything else. A widely experienced
undertaken says that there are two
things with regard to funerals. one
is that the people as a rule will not
patronize funeral parlors. All under
taking establishments OF the first class
have them. but they are seldom used
Even IN the boarding-houses the board
ers who die there are buried from them
In preference TO the funeral parlor
Hotel guests are the only ones who
can be relied upon TO patronize the
funeral parlor in case funeral Is
necessary. In other cities the case is
different. he said The undertaking
parlors are considered the thing for
people OF modest means. and a funeral
from an undertaking establishment is
of such common occurrence that II is
taken as a matter OF course.
The other popularity about VIII
mington funerals is that so many peo-
pie want a coffin or casket for the re-
Gently dead, Just like one that was
used for mother OF father or husband,
as the case might be. Sometimes that
first caslzet was ordered twenty years
ago. but the order must be duplicated.

TELLS OF HUNT TO
PROVE MAN INSANE
Because Smith Didn't Shoot at
Bunny" Witness Thinks He
Was Unbalanced in 1906

NEW YORK, Nov. What sounded
like a chapter from Alice in Wonder
land" was recited before Judge Green
baum I'm the Supreme Court, when an
attempt was made to prove that a man
was Of unsound mind because he did
not shoot a rabbit after a chase of five
miles and refused to laugh at the jokes
of a demented story teller.
Il appeared that in 1906 Robert s.
Smith bought from one Harnett, a real
estate dealer, property on West Thirty
fourth street for sS25000, paying $4,000
down. Owing TO delay in closing the
transaction and transferring the title
Mr.. Smith paid a second $4,000 on ac-
count
1t was shown from evidence that in
November Of the same year Mr.. Smith
became an inmate of DR.. Kings sani-
tarium, but later he went to Europe. In
the meantime the property had ap-
preciated $4,000 in value He returned
from abroad recently restored In mind,
and demanded of Mrs. Catharine I. ID.
Harnett, widow of the real estate man,
that the property be transferred to him.
This was refused and an action to en-
force the transfer was begun.
To establish the contention that the
mental condition Of Mr.. Smith IN 1906
was such that he was not competent
to make a valid contract William
Parks, who was formerly a patient
I'm the sanltarium, but who assured the
court that ne IS Of sound mind now,
was called as a witness. He said that
one day DR.. King. Mr.. Smith, other
patients and himself, all armed with
guns. chased foolish rabbit, and that
all fired at II except Mr.. Smith. This
indicated to Mr.. Parks that Mr.. Smith
was not quite right mentally.
The rabbit got away from the hunts
men this time. but they kept up the
pursuit. aud five miles further on rout-
ed him from his warren, whereupon
they all fired again except MT Smith.
The rabbit was very dead when they
got through and a long debate fol-
lowed as 10 which one Of them killed
him. but in this discussion Mr., Smith
did not take part, thus again exhibiting
signs Of arrangement, in the opinion
OF Mr.. Parks.
II, however, there was anything
further required to demonstrate that
fact, he said. it was Mr.. Smiths alb
solute lack OF a sense Of humor, as
shown by his refusal 10 laugh at the
narratives of a wonderful" story tel
Ter, also a patient These recitals, ac-
cording to the witness, made Mr.. Parks
and others scream until they became
nl, while Mr.. Smith sat by like a
craven image or a chronic first nighter
These evidences OF mental incapacity
made a profound impression in the
court room, but more testimony win be
taken before the case Is decided.
