'Refnishing Mahogany.

To refnish old mahogany first
scrape off all the old finish, and be
sure to get down to the wood. Use
a putty knife for scraping and fms
up with sandpaper.
When the old finish is all Off apply
with a brush a generous coat of raw
linseed oil mixed with turpentine in
equal proportions. Allow this to
stand for several hours and then
with an old piece of flannel, rub of
the surplus oil.
Polish with cloth dampened in
the same mixture three or four times
a week and a beautiful dark surface
will result.

Suit Innings

Some of the new thin linen suits
are made with a cOlored six lining.
In the white material this lining
shows through and gives just the
suggestion of the color underneath
If the suit is one that may be 1aund-
cred the lining is of wash silk, but
if 1t must be dry cleaned then satin
or even chiffon might be used

A Dead Bird.

Samuel Butler, the witty but &C.
centric author of sErewhon"-
which means "Nowhere"-and of
many other remarkable and sugges-
tive books, is now more read than
during his lifetime. He died in 1902.
In one of his notebooks he tells this
Incident, which must have amused
the great Charles Darwin:
Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippo
potamus cage when a little boy and
girl, aged four and five, came up.
The hippopotamus shut his eyes for
a minute.
'That birds dead" said the little
girl. Come along"

Blouse Suits Are Made
With Full Boomers

Russian blouse suits are just as
smart for the small maiden as the
boy, and for the girl many of these
are furnished with boomers made Of
the same material as the dress. This
saves the laundering of so many white
petticoats and gives the youngsters
more freedom of movement.
Generally, these are made simply,
buttoning at the left side, and for the
warm days are made collarless. A
leather belt at the waist lends an air
of smartness and makes the children
feel quite grown up.

Line Heels of Pumps
With Velvet Strip

Many people think silk stockings
with cotton tops and feet wear better
than the all silk ones. and if at pres
ent you have an all silk pair, to keep
the feet from rubbing and wearing
into holes, a good plan Is to line the
heels of your slippers with velvet.
Paste it smooth from the sole to
the top, making the piece about two
inches wide at the center of the back.
Glue and not mucilage should be used
in the pasting.

Children who are too large for

The New Cartoon

Alocal philosopher, laughing over
one of Ralph Wilder's cartoons in
The Chicago Record Herald the 9TH
er day, remarked that the cartoon
is mightier than the sermon. Ger
tainly the humorous picture that
has come to be so popular a feature
of the big city newspaper often hits
off the news of the hour with a veri-
table stroke Of genius. @
The whole art Of the cartoonist
has become more kindly, less slash
ing, than in the days when Thomas
Mast began it. The cartoonist no
longer hits somebody over the head
for your amusement, but .tickles you
under your own ribs somewhere
near the heart. He does it by illus
trating the little humors Of human
nature, Of domestic life, of boy ma
tuse, of feminine foibles- any sort
Of homely joke that both husband
and wife can laugh over at the
breakfast table.
One Of the gentlest, cleverest and
happiest cartoonists Of this new
school is Ralph Wilder, whose daily

Imports And Exports OF

publication just issued by the Bure.
al Of Statistics of the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, shows
some interesting facts regarding the
imports and exports of the United
States in the trade with foreign
countries. Among the curious
things shown is, for example, that
fruits and nuts imported into this
great agricultural country have
doubled since 1900, having grown
from 10 million dollars in value.
speaking in round terms, in the year
1900, to 3951 million in 1910. Fruit
imports alone increased from a little
less than 16 million dollars to prac-
tically 26 million. Bananas form
the largest item in the group, being
valued at a little less than 6 million
dollars in 1900, and over II million
in 1910.
Hides and skins also form a mark
ed increase in the importation of the
term, having increased from 307
million pounds in 1900 to 573 million
il 1909, the figures Of 1910 being
considerable less, 461 million
pounds. The value Of hides and
skins imported was 51l million dol
lars in 1900 and Sc million in 1910.
Goatskins form an important factor
in this, having been in 1900, 19 mil
lion dollars in value, and in 1910, 27
million.
Sugar, of which the United States
is a large producer but not yet suf-
ficiently large to meet the require
ments Of her population, shows i'm
portations in 1900 of 81 billion
pounds, valued at 91a million dollars
and in 1910. A billion pounds, val

inquiry resulted in a majority report
sustaining him many people ia Wash
ington official life were of the opinion
that he would remain until the end of
the administration.
The agitation against the head of
the interior department began when
attacks were made on his policy by
Clifford Pinchot, when chief forester
in the department Of agriculture, who
accused him of completely in the So
called Cunningham coal land frauds
in Alaska and other operations mimi
cal to the public interest.
Mr.. Pinchot was forced to resign by
President Taft because Of this action
but he had already attained his object
for an investigating committee was
appointed by congress to inquire into
the charges. This committee was
composed of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and it's probing resulted in the
submission of two reports, the major
ity headed by Senator Nelson sustain
ing Mr.. Ballinger in every particular,
and the minority holding him culpable
as charged and demanding his resigna-
ton.
