Household Hints.

To know whether the over is of the
right heat for pastry, piece of paper
should be placed on the shelf on which
the pies and cakes are to stand. If it
turns light brown after few minutes
the heat is correct. Should the paper
turn a deep yellow, confectioner would
know that the temperature was right for
cakes of solid description, pale yell
low, denotng the proper heat for such
items as sponge cakes and light buns
and biscuits.
If water be of little use when cleaning
much blackened with smoke, the expert
ment should be tried of mixing little
spirits of wine with the water. This
will remove the grease which is con-
tanned in the lampblack.
A rusty CRATE can be cleaned with but
very little trouble if it be blackleaded and
then left for twenty tours hours, or even
for a couple of days. The blacklead
will absorb the rust, and the steel can
then be polished in the ordinary way.
You can clean white paint with warm
water, using little whiting on the wash
cloth and rinsing af erwards with clear
water.
To prevent white fabrics, such as tulle
or silk evening gowns. choice lace or
crepe shawls, from becoming yellow
when they are packed away, sprinkle
bits of white wax freely among the folds.
To remove the smell of fresh paint, put
pail of cold water IN the room and
change it every two or three hours.
. A few drops of lavender scattered
through book case in a closed
room will save a library from mold in
damp weather.
Soak new brooms in strong hot salt
water before using; this toughens the
bristles and makes the brooms last a
great deal longer.
Rugs have tireSome way of curling
I'D at the corners, which spoils their
appearance and in the end the corners
get torn away. To provide against this,
directly a rug is bought bind it on the
under edge with stout Holland or furn-
iture webbing.
Scatter unslaked lime around the
corners of the cellar; this will absorb
any damp and dispei insects.
q large, clean marble boiled in milk,
porridge, custards, sauces, will auto

stopper from becoming fixed in glass

glass with little salad oil To remove
a fixed stopper from bottle or decanter

His Wife 8 Verdict.

Mr. Sidener had made his first public
speech. His subject was good-the in
EQUITIES. of industrial economy-and he
hoped his treatment had been adequate.
He was not sure. He waited for his
wife's verdict, but she was strangely
silent
She had listened to him from the gal
lery of the town hall, and he had half
expected her to meet him at the door
afterward, and to say as soon as they
were out of hearing, "Oh, it was simply
great, Eddy" But they were half wav
home and she had said nothing of the
kind.
"Well," he began, awkwardly, when
he could bear it no longer, what did you
think of my speech?"
What you said was all right, she an
swered, with guarded enthusiasm. "But
it seemed to me that you didn't make the
most OF your opportunities
Opportunities" repeated Mr.. Sidener.

The Frederick Gas Company's
Deal to be Appealed.

Cramp, Mitchell and Shafer, who held
a large number of shares of stock in
the Frederick Gas Company, have by
their attorneys, Messrs. Maulsby, Fran
cotf and Robinson, petitioned the court
to have the Public Service Commission,
which granted authority to the Fred
eriek Railroad to take over this interest,
to appear and answer for their actions.
They allege that the passing of the order
was unlawful and unreasonable. A hear
ing has been set for Friday, February
24th. These parties objected before the
Public Service Commission. at the time
that the railroad company took over the
stock.
AT the annual election held on the 18th
inst, the controlling interest held by
the railroad company was voted.

THE city officials having under their
control the matters appertaining to the
various departments, with which they
are connected, should be more careful
in their expressions given out for publ
cation. Too much unnecessary talk
often creates bad impressions. If we
succeed in procuring new industries, and
perhaps the State Encampment, il is by
the great energy displayed by our enter
prising young business men, and a
thoughtless expression may be used to
handicap those who are bending their
energies for a Greater Frederick. All
business affairs should emanate from the
Mayor and the Board OF Aldermen, who,
no doubt, are cognzant of what is going
on, and not from subordinates who are
mere creatures to carry out the ordi-
nances. If they have any ideas to adj
vance for the betterment of the city,
they should confer with those who are
held responsible for the admins ration
of our city affairs.

Uncle Joe's Check.

Colonel Henry Casson, sergeant at
arms of the House of Representatives,
has the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon, few years ago to
book agent and about which an inter-
esting story has been told.
An agent visited the Speaker and in
terested him in an elaborate edition of
something which Uncle Joe did not want,
but bought. When the books arrived
Uucle Joe examined them and decided
at once that something had been put over
on him. When the agent came for his
money the Speaker determined to make
him endorse a terse sentiment on books
SO he wrote out a check for S73. the
amount due, and on the back of it he
inscribed.
"Pay to the order of Mr.. Blank, in
full payment for an edition which was
not worth a d, and dear at that
price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put 1t over your Uncle Zoe was
well worth the money. "-HnmaN Life.

Factors in Success.

In every line of human endeavor much
of the success of our efforts depends
upon the conduct of those we meet with.
The CHEEKY influence Of a man of genial
disposition and broad-minded liberation
OF The faults of others helps in no small
degree. In the first place such an
influence encourages the worker to put
forth his best efforts because he is as
Sured oil an appreciation of those efforts,
and nothing is Of more value to the
faithful toier in the ranks than appre-
citation. Then the whole hearted interest
of those whose affairs are closely allied
to ours besides acting as a constant
encouragement often brings into being
new possibilities and undreamed of
strength for their development On the
other hand, the man of a calculating
nature, the man who looks upon the
world with surprise and questions the
good that he finds there, who attainS his
own ends regardless OF the rights of
others, and who, refusing to take others
into his confidence stiles his better
nature under the mask of unconcern
cXerts a most depressing influence.
Truly he is human iceberg, of alarming
proportions, one that often transforms
the warmth of a satisfied existence into
the chill of uneasiness. No measure of
gladness welcomes his approach, but
instead feeling of actual depression
takes possession of all who come within
his influence and which is not dissipated
until his departure. Such a disposition
is serious obstacle, naturally, not only
| to It's possessor'S own happiness. but to
that of every one who be so unfortunate
as to feel its icy blast-EtchaRge.

Humorists and Human Nature.

One of the queerest things about human
nature is that it's so natural and so human.
Knight an Anarchist and he writes an
ode to the king; kick faithful servant
out of the house and he delivers lectures
on Socialism, These things are just what
you'd expect Where you don't expect
them is in the case of exceptional people;
and when exceptional people follow the
regular rule you are terribly disappointed.
All this is called to mind by the news
that a manuscript had to be suppressed
in recent sale of some of Mark Twain's
literary legacies. The manuscript got
into the auctioneer'S hands by mistake, it
appears, and had to be called back imme-
diately. 1t was virulent roast on former
President Theodore Roosevelt In it the
author rejoices over the deliverance of
the nation from the Rooseveltian rule and
halls Taft as the deliverer.
One would have expected something
quite different. We remember Mark
Twain as radical, hater of privilege, a
keen-eyed exposer of graft and pursy
hypocrisy. We should have thought mat
Mark Twain would have reioiced in any
attempts at progressivenesS and lrowned
on any reactionarv influence in American
politics. Mark Twain was fitted for in
surgency both by inclination and intellect.
But in the last years Of his life the greatest
American humorist became a close friend
of the late H. Fl. Rogers. The financier
advised the literary man as to his invest
ments and helped him to rehabilitate his
fallen fortunes The two were INSOFAR
able for a number of years. 1t is easy TO
imagine what MIR. Rogers said about Mr..
Roosevelt to Mr.. Clemens during that
period of intimacy. 1t is easy to see how
easy it was for a lover of ease to look at
things from the standpoint of easy money.
