HOUSEWIVES HINTS.

A crust of bread helps to clean out
a sticky bread pan.
petroleum ointment stains are obsti.
nate. and the best thing for them is to
soak them In kerosene.
If you accidentally spill ice cream on
a silk waist try using alcohol to re-
move the grease blemish. It also re-
moves a candy or gum blemish.
If your furniture has grown dull and
streaked try rubbing up with a flannel
dipped in equal parts Of turpentine
and coal oil. It polishes quickly and
much more cheaply than expensive pol
ishes.
Put a good sized lump Of salt into a
cup Of vinegar and put into the vessel
that is discoIored and let it stand for
half a day. Wash well with warm wa
ter and soap and the sediment will
come or easily.
The d~ishwasher who would get
through quickly invests in a soap shak-
er and a chain for cleaning pots and
pans. She also has on hand over the
sink a box of borax and a bottle of
ammonia for cutting grease.
Always empty a teakettle after using

ter rinse thoroughly. In that way You
avoid boiling possible germs over and
over and also keep sediment from
forming IN the bottom Of the kettle.
"Red" meats are less liable to con-
tamination than fish or chicken. The
latter should not be eaten If there is
the least suspicion Of odor about
them. Beef slightly tainted, though
disagreeable, will not produce pto-
maine poisoning.
A loaf Of bread viii keep fresh
much longer if placed in a covered
crock. Wrap in a large cloth to
exclude air and keep the crock in q
place. 1t is nicer than a tin YES

WHEN WOMEN VOTE.

Not a Self Respecting Man Will Stay

Dorothy Dix. who is really intelligent
enough to Know better. who says:

social and economic cataclysm that will
drive the brazen females back to their
proper places-the Kitchen and the

Let us hasten to assure this nk,<I.fn

on a railway station platform, he was
accosted by a lady, who said to himi

The EternaI.
Nay

There is no God thenH Nay,
& Ye say II, and not I;
I do but say
have not yet beheld this God on high,
Not knowing that He Is we live and de,
II we know nothing of Him yet we feel.
We feel loves kisses sweet,
The wine that trips our feet,
The murderous thrust of steel,
badness about the heart when the sun
breaks,
Or the soft moon is floating up the skies,
Delight in the wild sea, in tranquil lakes,
In every bird that flies:
And not tears in our eyes
When love, the best of earth, it's last kiss
Over-diesi
But He whom we name God and grope so
for above,
Whose arm we fear is power, Whose heart
we hope is love,
On the worlds below Him,
In the dust before Him,
We may adore Him,
We cannot know Him.
II, indeed, He be, to bless or curse,
And be not this tremendous universal
Higher than your arrows fly,
Deeper than your plummetss fall,
Is the Deepest, the Most High,
Is the All In All.

from the PELtSDurB Press.
Colonel Plummer, of New York, who
hates the sight OF an automobile,
bought the other day, a handsome
brown mar to match Barbary Belle.
A day or two later he asked his groom
what he thought Of the new arrival.
John replied:
She's certainly a fine lookin' 'oss.
sir. but I'm afraid her temper's a bit
too touchy."
What makes you think so?" asked
the colonel.
"She don't appear to take kindly to
nobody, sir; she don't like me to 60 into
the box to feed her"
'Oh. she'll settle down In a day or
two. The surroundings are strange you
know. ] do not think there Is anything
wrong with her temper"
II didn't at first, sir" said John, ''but
you see she kicked me out o. the box
twice. and when you comes to think
about it--that's sort o, convincin'."

STOP THIEF"

A candid Englishman must own and
Geplore the fact that Flavia McMur-
rough's tears were due to the wrongs
of her country. Broken by three great
wars waged by three successive gen
~erations, defeated In the last OF three
desperate struggles for liberty, Ireland
at this period lay like a woman swoon-
Ing at the feet of her captors. Nor were
rhese minded that h should rise again
quickly or in her natural force. The
mastery which they had won by the
sword the English were resolved to
keep by the law.
They were determined that the Irish
man OF the old faith should to
exist; or, IL he endured, should be
memo. no one. Confined to hell or
Connaught. he must not ever In the
latter possess the ordinary rights. We
must not will his own lands or buy
new lands. II his son. more sensible
than he, went over" the father sank
into a mere life tenant, bound to fur
nish a handsome allowance and to
leave all to the protestant heir. He
might not marry q protestant, he
might not keep q school, nor follow
the liberal professions, The priest who
confessed him was banished IL known,
and hanged IL he returned. In a coun-
try Of sportsmen he might not own a
fowling piece, nor a horse worth more
than fl pounds; and In days when
every gentleman carried a sword at
his side he must mol wear one. Finally,
his country grew but one article Of
great value-wool; M that he must
not make into cloth, put he must sell
It TO England at England's price
which was one-fifth OF the continental
price. Was IT wonderful that, such
being Ireland's status, every Roman
Catholic OF spirit sought fortune
abroad, that the wild geese, as they
were called, went and came unchecked.
or that every inlet in Galway, Clare
and Kerry swarmed with smugglers,
who ran In under the green flag with
brandy and claret, and, running out
again with wool, laughed to scorn Eng
lands boast that she ruled the waves.
Nor was 1t surprising that, spent and
helpless al the land lay, some sanguine
spirits still chung to visions of a change
and of revenge. The Sullivans of Nor
ristown and Skull were OF these, as
were some of their neighbors. And Fla
via was especially OF these. AS she
looked from her window a day or two
after the Colonel's arrival, as she sniff
ed the peat reek and plumbed the soft
distances beyond the lake, she was lost

On the first night OF his stay In q cer-
tain border town there were cries for
q speech, and at last the genial actor
stepped before the curtain. He thanked
the audience for it's gratifying demon
st~ration, and let fall in conclusion some
pleasant remarks about the beauties of
the town, but the speech was received
In frozen silence. When he got behind
manager that the good people OF -
seemed ~singularly unresponsive.

see, your speech was all right except
In particular. You kept mention-
ing the name of the town where you
were playing last week"
