HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To wash channels gloves and keep
them soft, first put the gloves on
hands, using lukewarm water and
pure soap. Wash in this lather UNI
til the gloves are thoroughly cleansed.
then rinse in clear water of the same
temperature, but before taking off the
gloves cover them again with a iath-
er Of the soap. Allow them to dry
in the shape.
To remove the fat from soup or
necessary to allow it to become cold,
as is usually done. Instead place q
fine wire sieve on ice, until it is thor
oughly chilled, and pour the liquid
through this. If the liquid is par
TALLY cooled the fat will solidify on
the cold wire and the bro tn will be
ready for use Immediately.
Thin white oiled paper spread un-
der the child's plate at the table and
extending a little way beyond. will
protect the table cloth. This will not
be very noticeable, especially If 1t is
bought in sheets, and the pieces are
cut and laid smoothly on the cloth.
When piece of paper is soiled it
may be thrown away or burned, and
a fresh piece substituted.
The most comfortable prop for the
invalid or convalescent who wishes to
sit up in bed (if you have no regular
contrivance at hand) Is an ordinary
dining-room chair. This is turned
upside-dow with the front legs
braced against the back of the bed or
the wall, and the long lines of the
back forming an inclined plane. When
covered with pillows, it is both firm
and comfortable.
For cleaning smoke and dirt in gen
eral from the walls and woodwork, es-
pecially yellow pine, vinegar works
like magic. Put about a. pint An ba-
sin, wet a flannel cloth in this and
wipe the thing to be cleaned. When
the cloth becomes soiled, wash it out
in clear water before wetting again
in the vinegar. In this way no vim
egar is wasted and there is no Wet
ting of the clothing.
For white kid slippers which can
not be cleaned successfully after hav-
ing been previously cleaned, buy a
1O-cent tube Of ivory black art paint.
To one-half cupful of gasoline add
enough paint to make fluid consis-
tency of cream. Apply evenly with
small brush, allow to dry thoroughly,
and then polish with any good shoe
paste This does not harden leather
and will not wash or rub off.
If the pipe leading to the kitchen
sink becomes clogged, it will pay you

Get to the pipe in the sink. Attach
this to the kitchen faucet. Then
press the other end against the perfo-
rated plate above the drain pipe,
wrapping on old cloth around the
tube so as to cover all the holes IN
the plate. When the water is turn
ed on the full force of the water will
go straight through the pipe and re-
move whatever has clogged 1t.

WHERE ONE AMERICAN
EQUALS FOUR JAPS.

Clarence Poe, who has made a
thorough first-hand study of manu-
featuring and commerce in Japan,
says that in the Tokyo branch of the
Kanagafuchi Spinning Company Ga
company which controls 100000
spindles) the director, speaking from
the experience of one Of the greatest
and best conducted industries in ia
pan, declared: Your skilled factory
laborers in America or England will
work four sides of ring frame; our
unskilled laborer may work only
one" "a young Englishman in anotn-
er factory declared: 1t takes five men
here to do work that I and my mate
would take care Of at home An Am
erican vice-consul told me that 1t
takes three or four times as much
Japanese as foreign labor to look at
ter an equal number of looms. A
Japanese expert just back from Eu-
rope declared recently that Lanca-
shire labor is more expensive than
ours, but really cheaper
In a similar vein, in his article in
the April Worlds Work, Mr.. Poe goes
on to show by expert testimony and
statistics that in Japan as elsewhere
cheap" labor is found to be the most
expensive in the long run.

SPRING STYLES FOR MEN.

a few of the many new things in
wearables for men and boys.
The Surprise Store, on Main ST., is
full Of the new stocks. Everywhere
are suits and haberdashery in the
bright new colo-s of Spring. Even
a glance into the windows makes a
man want to try on the new gar
ments. I asked the manager, Mr..
Barker, what We're the very newest
things for spring, and he wanted to
know in what line. I told him ev-
erything a man wears.
Then Wen start with clothing he
said. The color most in demand
seems to be gray. Gray in all its
variations, plain gray, and striped
gray and checked gray. It's an aw-
cool and it's becoming to most men,
Without having counted them /
should say that we have at least a
hundred different patterns in gray
tones in our new spring line. You
see the designers of our clothes, which
we tailor in our own shops. are busy
most of the year studying the styles
in the places where well dressed men,
and wealthy men congregate. Now
it's Palm Beach, now it's Atlantic, now
it's the exclusive clubs in the great
cities, now it's the Hobbies of New
York's finest hotels. All this time that
our designers devote to travelling and
to observation is more than made UP
by the increased knowledge they ac-
quire of what we'll dressed men of
taste are wearing and what they pre-
fer. That's why the garments you
see here are SO attractive. That
why they look like costly custom tail
ored clothes.
I'm pretty sure that what our fac
tory turns out in the way Of models
and patterns, is what the best dressed
men are wearing and will wear this
season.
Fancy blue weaves are very popu-
lar and we show a great many differ
ent styles in them. Tans and
browns are represented too but the
grays and blues outnumber them two
to one.
Then in furnishings the one very
new and popular style is the soft or
French cuff shirt. It is made either
single or double and has a smart and
comfortab BILE appearance. This cuff
adds a, great deal to the cost of the
shirt if it is properly made, and that's
why we have it put on only our fin
est shirts.
'In mems hats-derbies-the
crowns are much lower and the
brims more curling than formerly.
This is an Importation from England.
'In boys clothes, style is swing
ing around to the belted Norfolk suit,
for youngsters up to IA, while the
double breasted holds the call for
larger boys"

THE CRISIS.

/ wonder, when will it come,
That moment of uttermost test
When the naked soul is confessed?
Will it come when the drum and the
bugle wide
Summon the nations of earth to ride
Like Vikings of old on a turbulent
tide
On the war waves red spumed
crest?
wonder when will it come,
That soul-searching moment, to me
And where, on the land or the sea
Will the heart be dumb and the hand
be numb
Or the spirit stout when it takes the
list
For the fateful courage of the battle
trySt
From the first ordained to be?
/ wonder, when will it come,
That sudden unsealing of sight
In the day or the terrible night?
Whatever the time, wherever the
place,
Forbid, We fates, that there be dis

When l and myself stand face to face
Then. courage, whenever it come,
Mid the hum of the Iethal ball
On the field where the stricken fall
In the foul arenas StIf11ng duSC
Stained with the red wine Of battle

Let it come when it will, as come it
must;
Courage to answer the call!
Then, wisdom; whenever it come,
The moment Of critical choice
When the calm, imperative voice
Bids behold. the divergent ways OF
life,
With unknown possibilities rife,
And choose; then wisdom be mine TO
plumb
The mystery, and rejoice.
I wonder. when will it come,
That glorious moment to- me
And what shall the issue be?

shocks
From defeat wrests victory.

SWEARING IN AT WESTMINSTER
AND WASHINGTON.

Though in accordance with sum-
mons issued simultaneously with pro-
mitigation of Dissolution the first
Parliament of King George V. met on
January 31st for the dispatch of bus
mess, at least 81 week will eiapse be-
fore business really begins with de-
livery of the Speech from the Throne
and debate on the Address thereupon
arising. The interval will be occu-
pied by the ceremony known as
swearing-in members. Those fanni1-
lar with the performance realize in it
something worse than waste of time.
What happens is that after Minis
tiers, leading members of the OPPOSE
ton, and other Privy Councillors have
more or less comfortably taken the
oath and signed the Roll of Parlia-
ment, there is an ugly rush of mem
bers from both sides to clutch stray
copies of the Holy Bible laid on the
tables brought in and set on the floor
below the Mace. At each table the
Clerk and the Assistant Clerk admin
as can shoulder their way in and
grab their share Of a Bible, hear the
oath recited, kiss the Book, and make
another dash for a place in the queue
formed on the way to the Roll Of
Parliament lying open on the table.
Having signed it, they, following the
Clerk to the Chair, are personally in
troduced to the Speaker, shake his
hand and disappear.
They manage this thing better at
Washington. I was present at the
opening of Congress summoned I'M
der the first duly elected Presidency
of Mr.. Roosevelt, and watched with
interest the process of swearing-in.
AS is the case at Westminster, the
Speaker C"Uncle Joe') first took the
oath. That was the sole point Of re-
semblance between the two perfor-
mances. Uncle Joe" resuming his
seat, the Clerk called upon members
representing a particular State to ad-
vance to the space fronting the plat
form on which the uncanopied chair
of the unwigged, not gowned Speaker
of Congress sits. Forming up in
lines representing the full muster of
the State representation, the newly
elected members heard the oath re-
cited, and each man, having brought
with him a copy of the Bible, kissed
it in seal of his oath of loyalty to the
Constitution. State by State march
ed to the front, paraded, took the
oath, and dispersed to make room for
the next on the roll. 1t was all over

FROM A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

Spring always brings new delights
to us.
With the bursting bud, the green
ing fields, the lowered trees, and the
soft breezes, n1ingles a, feeling that
the world is awakening; that there
is re-creat ting process taking place
around which there is more or less
mystery.
AS autumn invites decay. so spring
ushers in new life land this awak-
ening of life points us beyond the
narrow limitations of self, to the all
wise. the Infinite mind.
Around life there is clustered much
of mystery, but nature teaches us that
Infinite purpose is back of all, and
that the Infinite mind is working out
that purpose to its full ACCOMPLISH
ment
Life is but a thread which snaps
with too much tension; but if we
live within the laws of nature, hap
piness will attend US along our Jour
ney and when sunset comes to us, we
will SO to sleep content in the
thought that we shall awake in the
Spring, and put on a new life, fresh
and beautiful in the sight of it's
maker.
There is time when the mariner
loses faith in his anchor and depends
upon the life buoy" Hope is not
an anchor but the "iife buoy" if the
