HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

When glossy colored straw hats look dusty and off-color, brush them over with a solution of varnish of equal parts of shellac and alcohol.
 When next cooking figs to use for dessert add half a lemon and a small stick of cinnamon. The change in fla vor will be found very tasty.
 When hats have become grayish and shabby, they can be heightened by rubbing over them flannel sprinkled with a few drops of kero- sene.
 If the enamel inside a rusty tea kettle is not cracked, it may be thor ough1y cleaned by putting in soda and cold water and bringing to a boil.
 When serving any of the rich cheese, like Erie GorgonZola, or Rochefort, many hostesses now pass cream cheese or some milder cheese with it.
 Five cents worth of tartar emetic mixed with an equal amount of sug- ar, moistened and put in small dishes where the ants are will drive them away.
 Shrink and set color of children's garments before making up. They soil so easily that it is not worth while to run risks by waiting until after wards.
 Have you tried cheeseballs rolled in egg and bread crumbs and fried in boiling fat? They are delicious when served with lettuce hearts and Vir- ginia ham.
 When backing stove that has been discolored by overheating try rubbing well with vinegar before backing The polish will remain brighter much longer than otherwise.
 To clean rusty curtain pins. drop them into a little water which has a generous addition of ammonia and leave for fifteen minutes. The change in appearance is most gratifying.

VIEWPOINT

The presentation of the 3 Act Rural & Society Comedy "When a Mans Single" at the town hall on Friday evening June 3d under the auspices of St. Roses church was greeted with a crowded house. The audience was most enthusiastic and the applause at times so continuous as to interfere with the progress of the play. A sec ond rise of the curtain was demand ed after each of the acts. Where all do so we'll it is hard to specialize yet it will not be aniss to mention Edward s. PitzschIer, who seems to have the happy faculty of taking the part of any character to perfection, and all will agree that little Miss Nora Blake Gas the Irish maid), was a jew el and when taking into consideration her first appearance on the stage, with many dialogues to memorize she quite captivated the audience. The rest of success of the affair being a great surprise, as on account of circum- stances the play had to be put on without the necessary rehearsing. St. Roses parish are to be congratulated on one more success, which was man. aged solely by the young folks. The following made up the cast. Jim Hor- ton, A Farmer, Edward $. Pitzschler; Pete Adams, A Countryman, William Driscoll; Paul Briscoe, A Lawyer, John Houlihan; Winthrop Briscoe, PauPs Half Brother, William Hayes, Mrs. Briscoe, A Woman in Society, Mrs. J. w. Gordon; Evelyn Briscoe, Mrs. Briscoe's daughter Rosina Leavy; Eleanor Horton, Jim Horton's niece, Miss Mary Lester; Norah O'Neil, The Irish Maid, Miss Nora Blake. The concert between the acts was very much enjoyed, especially the vocal selections by M. J. Keane of Hawley- xyiIJo Violin MaStQr iolx Leiss A Piano trio by Misses Gather inc Farrell, Charlesiner Driscoll, Anna Houlihan, Piano Duett Misses Jessie Gordon and Charlesina Driscoll. The accompanists for the evening were Miss Dorette l.. Gordon, Mrs Charles Jackson and Miss Anna Houlihan, the latter giving the chords and music for singing during the play. A fine sum was realized. Dancing followed Mrs Kilbride and Arthur Gallagher furnishing the music.

WeIIinaton'e Coolness.


 The Duke of Wellington was one day sitting at his library table when the door opened and without any an. nouncement in stalked figure of sin gularly i'll omen.
 "Who are you?" asked the duke in his short and dry manner, looking up without the slightest change of coun- tenance upon the intruder
 4'I am Apol1yon. I am sent here to kill you"
 "Kill me? Very odd"
 "I am Apollyon and must put you to death"
 "'Bliged to do it today?"
 'I am not told the day or the hour, but must do my mission"
 Every inconvenient; very busy; great many letters to write. Call again or write me word I'll be ready for you"
 The duke then went on with his cor respondence The maniac, appalled, probably by the stern, fmmovable old gentleman. backed out of the room and in half an hour was in an asylum.

A Legend of February.

Here is the pretty legend which tells why February has only twenty-eight or twenty-nine days. Long ago, they say, February was gambler, and he was so unIueky that he soon lost all his money. Like other gamblers, he tried to recover it, and he said to his companions that if they would lend him some money he would give them as security one of his days. January and March, who were naturally asso- ciated with him more often than any of the other months, accepted his of fer, and as poor February soon lost the money which he had borrowed each of them acquired one of his days. That is why January and March have each thirty -one days and February has only twenty-eight in ordinary and twenty-nine in leap years.

A Faithful Servant

Carlyle told once of a lawsuit pend. ing in Scotland affecting the success sion to a great estate of which he had known something.

Best of all is 1t to do our part well and at the same time to see our blood live young and vital in men and wo- men fit to take up the task as we lay 1t down, for so shall our seed inherit the earth. But if this which is best is denied us, then at least it is ours to remember that if we choose we can be torchbearers. as our fathers were before us.
 The torch has been handed on from nation to nation, from civilization to civilization, throughout all recorded time from the dim years before his- tory dawned down to the blazing splen- dor of this teeMing century of ours.
 While freely admitting all of our fol lies and weaknesses of today, 1t is yet mere perversity to refuse to realize the incredible advance that has been made in ethiceI standards I do not believe that there is the slightest nee essary connection between any weak ening of virile force and this advance in the moral standard, this growth of the sense Of obligation to ones neigh bor and of reluctance to do that neigh Dor wrong
 We need have scant patience with that silly cynicism which insists that kindliness of character only accompa- nies weakness of character. On the contrary. just as in private life many of the men of strongest character are

there was not one who failed to recog-
nize the demands Of caste.
In l9O6 the reorganized and reconstruct
ca iinerai party won the election and the
Affairs of the government were turned
over to ministry in which the whig ele-
ment was overwhelmed by the modern
progressive democratic element For the
nrst time the plain people of England
and not the ruling classes had a major
ity in parliament. The fate of the legis-
lation they initiated has been outlined.
Every measure died In the house of lords,
But the commons still had the power OF
the purse. They resolved to attack the
bulwarks of the aristocracy by exercis-
ing their exclusive power of taxation,
realizing to the full that the power 70 tax

the land monopoly.

Of more than three fourths Of all the land
in Great Britain, refused to submit their
property to taxation. They rejected the
budget. The controversy was referred to
the people, and in January OF this year.
only eleven months ago. the radical coaH-
ton was returned to power and the tories
We're defeated. The lords bowed to the
will of the people with respect to this
one measure only, and passed the land
taxes But they were not willing to
abrogate their power to amend and reject
legislative bills other than money bills
Iney acknowledged only that the verdict
of the election confirmed the commons in
their right to claim traditional and con-
stltutlonaf control over the purse strings
The prime minister. Mr.. Asquith, intro
duced a bill In parliament providing that a
measure passed three times by the house
OF commons within two years should be-
come law even without the approval of
the house Of lords. This was known as
the veto bill, since it abrogated the lords
right to veto legislation approved by the
commons. The only way the veto bill
ever can became a law is for it to pass
the house of lords. The only way to get
the house Of lords to vote itself out of
existence is for the king to create suf-
hc1ent number Of radical peers to over
come the tory majority in the upper
house AS the king must act on the adj
vice of his ministers. it was expected that
Mr. Asquith would ask the king for
guarantees to make the will Of the
people effective in this fashion. When the
controversy arrived at that stage the
whole British empire was shocked by the
death of King Edward and the warning
political factions declared q truce Of God.
In November that truce was ended, and
the present elections were ordered.
