TAKES STAIN FROM MAHOGANY
oisfisuring Spots May Easily Be Re. moved, Though the Operation
 Requires CarefuIness.

For the thumb mark that so often disf1gures mahogany, or that blurred blue haze which clouds It's polish there is a simple remedy which requires only delft hand and bit of courage. A soft rag or flannel, dampened with alcohol, must be passed quickly and lightly over the part. Water stains and liquor spots will disappear imme- diately. The amateur refinisher, how ever, must heed the warning that the work be done with great rapidity and absolute confidence in oneself To slacken the wipe of the rag on the surface means that the polish will be roughened, and made to look streaked, or as if glue had been spilled and a furniture expert will have to be call ed in to lend his skill toward bringing back the smooth mirror-like surface once again. In old time a wax pol ish was customary, and the servants worked with a will over every piece, so that their tables and chairs would outshine those of the next big house. A dull finish was unheard of. and would have been scorned as showing laziness in the household, besides be- ing dust revealer, for even a fieck shows on unpublished furniture most plainly.

LACE FRILLS FOR SLIPPERS
Not Expensive, and Have Same Ef- feet, If Adornment Is Made
 at Home.

Satin and soft kid bedroom slip pers can be made doubly attractive by simply adding a dainty frill of lace all about the top. While these new est slippers are, of course, expensive, the effect can easily be obtained by dressing up any pair of pretty satin mules or slippers in this way. The prettiest worsted and knitted slip pers are now also finished with a shir- ring of lace at the top to make them different from the regular bed slipper, the same the world over The mules bordered at the top with frill of lace are then finished with a little lace rosette, with perhaps a tiny clus- ter of ribbon flowers tucked in the center.
 Almost as expensive as the slipper Itself are the rosettes that adorn it, but any girl can fashion her own rosettes for her satin evening slippers and save considerable in the process. First of all she should supply her self with piece of buckram or can vas, as without stiff foundation 1t is impossible to make the rosette keep its shape we'll The different parts of the bow are all sewed securely to this foundation before 1t in turn Is attached to the slipper.
 Silver lace with a cluster of ribbon flowers in the center the color of the gown makes an attractive finish for satin or light kid slipper Gold on yellow slipper Is extremely pretty, and If desired for a special gown metal laces can generally be found in different colored threads. The lace should be about an inch in width and Is simply gathered about the flowers in the center or else made into a fiat bowknot with the ribbon flowers for the center part.
 The rosette generally carries out some scheme of color or trimming on the gown.

1.-TWO matters of foremost IV importance to the peo
 pie of Arizona, which are on the Democratic sched- ule, are the Canadian reel procity and the tariff schedule on wool. Under the agree ment proposed with Canada, cattle will be admitted to the markets of the United States, free of duty, and regions like those of Arizona, New Mexi- co and Texas, which are large producers of cattle will be af- fected. The same regions are vitally interested in the pro- posal regarding the tariff on wool; as wool growing is one of the great industries. From careful canvas of the situa- tion, our correspondent finds that the wool industries are considered of vast impor- tance to many sections of the east, including Ohio, Penn sylvania and New England, and that these regions will join with the mountain states extending as far west as the Pacific coast, in resisting a change in the present sched- ule.

or other large pan, and one of these arms is adjustable so that it can be screwed tight to hold the whole con- trfvance firmly in position. The jars can be placed in the basin and the framework drawn over them and screwed fast. This leaves space be- tween each jar so that they may cool quickly, where otherwise they stand close together, and each helps the other retain the heat. Then the jars are filled with the preserving mixture, whatever 1t may be, the lids screwed on and the basin removed to a con- venient place till the preserves cool.

7HE Rev. Earl Flynn, a O California minister, in a
 recent lecture advised his hearers to eat sauerkraut if they would live to be 100 years old. Sauerkraut and spec, pretzels and limburger and some of the celebrated Milwaukee brew! Surely there's some strength to that kind of diet. The reverend gentlemen likewise said that to be healthy every minister should sweat only once a month, when they draw their salaries. There are a good many godly men who do not even get a chance to per spire that often.

Empire Waist Difficulties.

The Empire or semi-Empire waist is dangerous for frocks that are to be frequently laundered. Skirts of Elm pire gowns must hang quite straight from the waist, and If they are pulled out of shape in ironing or made too stiff they will not do this. Linen frocks, therefore, which are to go away in summer and are expected to he among the more generally service able costumes of their owners, will have the normal waist line.

While the U n it e d States is endeavoring to main tain a neutral position along our southern frontier, the civil strife in Mexico Is encroach- ing so strongly upon the rights of our citizens that the question of ultimate interfer- ence by the United States government Is becoming lar ger every day. There have been plenty of warnings from Washington to the Mexican government, and the com manders of the insurgent for ces that the battle grounds for future shooting affairs must not involve the rights of the strict neutrality which the United States is seeking to maintain. With our soldiers strung along the entire Mexi- can boundary, 1t is felt that if necessary, the U. s. could effectually deal with the en- tire Mexican situation, if the affairs like that of Douglas are repeated.

7 HE public land laws U provide that two per

sons may jointly take up public land under the min. ing laws, and one person dc the work on the claim, the other furnishing the necess- ary money to buy supplies. This is commonly known as the Grub Stake Law, and each owns a half interest in any land so obtained from the government. There is no good reason why this principle should not apply to land taken up under the home stead law, and a bill embody- ing this idea is now before Congress. If Congress should pass this bill 1t would give an opportunity for labor and cap ital to work together in the matter of taking up public land, one person furnishing the necessary money to prop erly improve and go through with the homestead and the other furnishing the necess- ary work and residing on the claim. This would provide a means for very many worthy people to acquire homes who have no hopes of getting homes of their own under the present public land laws.

UNFAIR RAILROAD RATES.
Cheaper to Get Into Vermont Than It
Is to Get Out.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 9.-The tariff
bureau Of the Boston & Maine railroad
IS said to be very busy revising the
passenger rates from this city over the
state line into Vermont.
The present passenger rate from
Springfield to Brattleboro, VI, is Sl.30,
while a passenger returning from Brat
tleboro is obliged to pay Sl.55.
As a result Of this difference in rates
ticket agents all along the line have
been called impolite names.
1t costs more to get out of Vermont
all the way up to White River juno
ton than it does to get into the state
This is due to the Central Vermont rail
road having completed new schedule
of rates which it placed in effect about
Jan. !.
The new rates have been applied on
the Central Vermont division TO South
Vernon, the state line 1t costs 81 20
to get to South Vernon and only ten
cents more to reach Brattleboro, ii
miles distant, while the return fare be-
tween Brattleboro and South Vernon is
80 cents.
William II. Shepard, division passen-
ger agent Of the Boston & Maine, stated
that he expected the revised rates would
be placed into effect Immediately.
