Something mysterious has pervaded the
social atmosphere in Casper G. Wares
factory for several weeks. Girl ehums
who never before kept secrets from one
another became uncommunicative.
Last Saturday was pay day In the fac
tory. After the usual rush In front OF the
cashiers window Mr.. Ware noticed a lit
tie stack Of pay envelopes that had MOI
been called for That was unprecedented
for the girls always had been eager tn get

Mr.. Ware was mourning the loss Of Miss
Sheppard, when Miss Ida Baker, soprano

and satisfying herself that Mr.. Ware was

Mr.. Ware promised, ruefully. and was

he looked up and saw Miss Martha Camm.
She had entered the room so softly he
had not heard her.

when Miss Camm said 'Hushl Not a

with exaggerated cordiality to Miss Dare.
The latter girl waited until Miss Camm

wireless EUuipment on ship..

The New Zealand house of representa-
tives has empowered the executive to make
regulations requiring passenger ships TO
carry wireless telegraphy apparatus. 1t is
probable that some vessels trading between
New Zealand and Australia will be fitted
with the necessary apparatus within a few
months, New Zealand is tanding out
against the recent movement to connect the
Pacific islands, Australia and New Zealand,
because the government wishes 10 await

During the last few weeks negotiations
have been taking place between a repre-

scheme OF imperial wireless telegraphy, has
applied for a license to erect a station. such

share OF the net receipts (Which II Is esti-

guarantees TO charge not more tina %

not more than u cents for government or

Going East.

William b. Hibbs, the Washington broker,
has a big country place just outside of Lees
burg, Va. He put a large s~earchlight on
top of his stone water tower, and from
time to time at night amuses himself by
throwing the light around the country.
One night in the summer Hibbs was on
the tower playing with the searchlight. A
Virginian, driving a skittish team, hltched
to a surrey in which were two ladies, was
coming along the road leading to Lees
burg and was about four miles from the
village.
Hibbs threw his searchllght down the
road.
Gosh darn it!' exclaimed the Virglnian.
here comes one OF those pesky automo-
blles." lie jumped out and took the horses
by the head. The light continued on the
road for half a minute, and then was
switched away. The Virginian stood stupe-
fled, Then he turned to the ladies and
said, In an awad voice: Jerusalem! That

Italian Somaliland and Italy. However,
even If Natal refused a license a station
could be erected in Portuguese territory.
Experiments have been made in swift
zerland showing that the higher attitudes
provide exceptionally favorable locations
for wireless telegraph receiving stations.
Messages coming from points within a
radius of 1000 miles have readily been
picked up In the Alps. This is probably due
to the fact that there are few intervening
objects between these elevations and the
sending stations which would be apt to
interfere with the Hertzian waves. 1t has
always been difficult to send messages
across the Alps, or even from one part Of
switzerland to another over the high alti-
tudes, for the reason that the mountains

Washing Furniture.

Very few people know that fur
niture ought to be washed" said n
salesman in the furniture section
of large department store yet"
he continued, "it is the best thing
one can do to keep furniture look
ing as we'll as it should. One
should take bucket of tepid rail-.
water aud make suds with a good
pure soap. Then, with soft piece
of cheesecioth, all the woodwork
should be washed. 1t is astonish-
ing how much dirt will Come off.
A second piece of cheese-cloth
should be wrung dry out of hot
water. On this should be poured
a tablespoonful of first class fur
niture polish. The heat will
spread the polish through the
cloth. Next the furniture should
be gone over with the second cloth.
There will he no need of putting on
more polish, for that much will do
all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake of using too
much polish aud leaving it.thick
on the furniture, where it looks
dauby aud where it gathers more
dirt"
There is furniture in homes TO-
day that is cast off because of it's
appearance, when it might be
brought back to its original fresh
ness by this simple process of
washing. Many persons do not
know that a fine bit of mahogany
is improved by careful washing,
and hundreds of pianos have ne
yer been more than busted in years.
A square of cheesecloth for the
washing and another for the po-
fishing will do the work, and the
result will well repay the effort.
