FINGERS OF OLD GLOVES.

Save the fingers of all kid gloves;
those worn by men may be cleaned
with gasoline and put away to be
used as finger cots. Slipped over the
ends of brass curtain rods, the rod
can be inserted in the hem of a cur
tain without tearing the lace or mus
lin. Slip glove finger on the thumb
and first finger of each hand when
pairing or preparing fruit and vegeta-
bles. 1t prevents the "grimy'' condi-
ton of these members, which is diff
cult of removing and is one of the
surest signs of kitchen labor When
the first finger of the left hand is
marked by the needle, from sewing,
crocheting or knitting, anoint it with
cold cream or vaseline at bedtime and
slip on kid finger. In the morning
it will be all right.-New Haven Reg
lister.

WALL AND FLOOR.

The wall paper in small or low
looms is always the first considera-
ton. A plain cream or white paper
is usually the best possible magnifier.
For just as a woman is apt to look
stout in white frock and slim in a
black one, so a room will expand UNI
der a light color scheme and shrink
under a dark one.
The pretty striped papers, which
are so often chosen as being suitable
for flats, have a way of making a
small room very box-like.
The second great consideration is
naturally the floor covering, and here
a wonderful effect of space may be
obtained in even the smallest room
by choosing plain dark effect. Many
people object to felt carpets on the
ground that they catch all the dust
and show every mark, but she may
plead in return that two minutes
cleaning will render them as new and
spotless as the most faddy housewife
could desire. Another virtue is that
any rugs or mats look well on them.

Speaking before the Church Of
England Temperance Society recent
ly, the Bishop of London said that.
as the result of an inquiry regarding
the drink evil, fifteen doctors stated
that in the middle class there was a
decrease of drink, lightweight in
fashionable practice spoke of the in
crease among the well to do, and
ninety-three of the increase among
working women. At the request Of
the Home Office twenty-three London
public houses were watched for four
days, and s9,54O women, with TO-
All children. entered. The chief
cause, said the bishop, of drinking
among the well to do was want of
occupation; among the poorer classes
it was oyerwork and overworry.

Slang and barroom conversation
used by some evangelists was the sub

Frederick e. Hopkins, pastor of Pill

tiers of Chicago. There seems to be
to-day a kind of evangelist that is
downright vulgar" said he. "A
woman fittingly described this sort
to me the other day when she said:
This species of evangelist cuffs the

takes all the money out Of the parish

Never Stops.

The minister was addressing the
Sunday-school. Children, want to
talk to you for few moments about
one of the most wonderful, one of
the most important organs in the
whole world he said What is it
that throbs away, beats away, never
stopping, never ceasing, whether you

and week out, month in and month
out. year in and year out, without
any volition on your part, hidden
away in the depths, as it were, un-
seen by you, throbbing, throbbing,
throbbing rhythmically all your life
long?" During this pause for ora

During his address the speaker
turned to a discussion of the rich

said, "that the pampered young man
in the American university is an OBJ

misses much that his fellows find
most valuable in their college life"

SIX LIVES LOST in FIRE
Lenox, Mass, Suffers From Ex-
pIosiOn and Flames.
Dynamite and Turpentine Explode in
Basement Of Building, Trap
ping the Inmates.

Lenox, Mass. Six persons were
killed in the fire which almost wiped
out the business section Of Lenox.
-Four business blocks and two dwell
ings were destroyed The property
loss is estimated at $250,000, with
Insurance Of $111,0
The six persons who were killed
were asleep in the Clifford Build
ing, three-story structure, when the
fire started. They were: Miss Isabel
Cook, forty years old, a bookkeeper;
Miss Alice French, forty-one years
old, a bookkeeper; Miss Mary Sparks,
twenty-six years old, a school teach
er; Edward S. Ventres, forty-one
years old, an electrician; his wife,
thirty-five years old, and their daugh-
ter, Leslie, twelve years old.
Mrs Catherine Root and her sons,
George and Arthur, were badly
burned in escaping from the building.
The fire started in the stock of
James Clifford & Sons Company,
hardware dealers. They had turpen-
tine, paints, oils and dynamite stored
in the basement.
George Root, who lived in the up
per story of the Clifford Block, was
awakened shortly after / O'Clock in
the morning by smoke that rolled
into his room from partly covered
chimney hole. He called his brother
and mother, and they ran down the
front stairs in their night clothes,
shouting to the other occupants of
the upper floors as they went. They
found the front door in flames, but
the men wrenched it open and they
dashed through.
The Roots had hardly crossed the
street before there was terrific ex-
plosion in the building behind them.
and in an instant the Clifford Block
was all afiame This explosion was
heard for distance of six miles,
shattered windows within wide ra-
dius and caused the fire alarm to
ring.
Horace Perrill and his wife. other
occupants of the top floor, aroused by
the shouts of the Roots rushed
through long corridor to the back
stairs and got out in safety.
All the other occupants of the Cliff
ford Block lost their lives. While
the fire was at its height a woman
was seen to climb out of a flame-filled
room to a veranda on the second
story with her night clothing and
hair ablaze. Staggering to the rail-
ing she leaped to the sidewalk, land
ing in heap within few feet of the
blazing walls. Some of the onlookers
tried to rush in to drag her out, but
the intense heat drove them back,
and it was hours later before the
body, that of Miss Alice French, was
recovered.
Lenox has only small volunteer
Fire Department, and until aid came
from Pittsfeld, Richmond and Lee
the flames spread rapidly. The Cliff
ford, Eddy, Mahanna and Bull build
ings, the residences of Joseph Gilbert
and Mrs. Rose Colbert and some
smaller structures were destroyed.
Only a shift of the wind from north-
west to southwest saved the Public
Library and the Curtis Hotel.

The State Department of Forestry
estimates that if the present rate of
cutting is maintained, the States
merchantable timber will have been
exhausted in eight years, declares the
Pittsburg Post. A bill introduced in
the Legislature gives the State De-
partment of Forestry authority to
make and enforce reasonable rules
and to issue permits governing the
cutting and removal of timber. The
only persons opposed to the measure
are the large lumber interests, which
now control 100000 acres of the
forests yet remaining. These are
being desolated at the rate of 6OO,-
900 acres a year. There is nothing
unreasonable in the proposed law,
which would simply restrain the ra.
pacious lumber interests. Further
benefits would, of course, accrue in
the incidental conservation of the
water supply and the prevention of
foods and droughts. The headwnters
OF the Allegheny, Monongahela and
Youghiogheny Rivers would Be d.
Tectly affected and the Proposed law
would consequently be of great bene-
at to the Pittsburg distrlct

in his Latin, the bottles had been
numbered for his benefit. One day
Spanish laborer came in for medi-
cine, and the doctor told his worthy
assistant to give him two pills out of
number six. After he had gone the
doctor asked:
Gladstone, did you give the man
a dose of number six?"
