Committee Of City Council confers
With Traction MANAGER.

WI" AidSNton Manager.
The committee named at the last
meeting Of the city council To en-
deavor TO bring about a reduction in
the street car fare from Boston loca
ton to Hancock during certain hours
Of the day for local miners employed
AZ the Boston mine, held a conference
with General Manager Gardner Rogers
Yesterday and presented It's argi
ments. Mr. Rogers took the matter un-
der advisemenL stating that it would
be presented to eastern officers of tho
company who contemplate an early
visit to the copper country. on their
arrival here.
Manager Rogers suggested that this
was matter which might well be
given attention by the Hancock Boost
er club, and that a fund might be
raised which would so part way to-
wards meeting this situation.
Mr. Rogers called attention to the
fact that the fare from Boston To-
Hancock is the Same as from Boston to
Houghton and that by granting the de
sired reduction, fare of FIVE cents
would be granted for ride of eight
miles.
The committee while given little en-
couragement by General Manager Rog-
ers, is hoping for a more favorable
outcome OF the meeting of the traction
company heads to be held later.

rival, as the women of the middle OF
last century knew full well.
Amber is at present a very highly
favored item of daytime jewelry. 1t is
seen at the hatpin head, globular in
shape and of a medium size, and is
the ornament of combs and prongs.
!. Magical properties were believed to
be ascribable to amber in former
times, and there. were wearers of the
beads who vowed they were saved
by them from that tedious and
troublesome complaint, hay fever. TIE
new delight found in amber is trace
able not to any occult connection,
but to the fashion for every shade
of gold, through all the graduation
from the most pallid to the most
radiant tint.
The fanciful hatpin is enlarged
again, and the most magnificent dis
plays of precious stones are used to
give brilliance to a black hat of a
large and picturesque shape very
sparingly trimmed.

the face of the man in the moon is

At the present moment, when the
garden borders are filled with almost
every sweet-smelling flower which the
summer produces, a better time hard
ly exists for producing homemade
perfumes.
From rose p~ot-pourri to flower
scents is hardly a step. Practically
the same flowers are needed as are
required for the old-fashioned spice
Jars, the making of which has become
q hobby at the present moment.
Honeysuckle, jessamine, verbena
and scented geranium, syringa, vio-
lets, roses, c~love-pinks, lilies of the
valley-all are grist to the mill and
| collectively can be made into a deli
| cious millef1eur perfume, or singly
distilled to form distinctive scents.
Almond or olive oil is the best
foundation for a flower perfume. The
finest must be procured. A large jar,
such as is used In the storeroom for
sugar or meal, is most useful for per-
fume infused from the fresh flowers
and not distilled.
The jar should be filled three-parts
full of the oil and the petals dropped
in in handfuls. They must be COM
pletely immersed in the oil and left
for twenty-four hours. By that time
they will have become impregnated

Brushes are c~uriously neglected in
the preparation of a bottom drawer.
There are girls who religiously collect
all sorts of pots and pans in order to
have a well-ftted kitchen, but to
brushes they give never a thought.
Or, If they do, they think a long
handled sweeping-brush and a scrub
bing-brush constitute the necessary
household equipment
Not at all. Of course, il is quite
possible to make brushes adaptable, +"
only the chances are that a brush used
for the wrong purpose will cease to
be any good for the right one.
Every housewife should nave a good
collection of brushes, of all sorts and
sizes-three long-handled sweeping
brushes, two hard bristle and one soft.
This plan prevents the same hard
brush being used for outdoor and in
door sweeping. It is well, too, to
have a hard and soft short-handled
sweeping-brush for sweeping out cor
ners of rooms and passages.
Special furniture brushes of a par
ticularly useful order have just been
put on the market. They have a fiat.
broad brush at one end for general
furniture brushing, while at the other
end is a long-pointed brush, which is
splendid for pushing into awkward
corners Of upholstery.
A set of blacklead brushes is, under
present housing arrangements, abso-
lutely necessary. In respect to the
! cooking stove it is wise to have a
special brush for cleaning it.
Where there is a lot of plate or sill
yer stuff brushes must be kept for
cleaning it, a couple at least, one for
applying the powder and one for pol
ishing the metal. Brushes for this
purpose should be obtained from a
jeweler.
Anyway, two brushes will be re-
quired for using to clean china and
glass. For the former get a glorified
toothbrush, a long-handled brush
fitted with a narrow, long set of
strong bristles. The bristles must be
strong to get the dirt out of anything
like elaborate china, but they must on
no account be scratchy. A round.

THE BEST WAY

To clean moldy walls wash them
with a weak solution of ~hypochloride
of lime.
To get rid of the disagreeable odors
of paint and turpentine cut an onion
into small pieces. and place 1t around
the room.
To remove grease spots from mat
ting make a thin paste of fuller's
earth and water and when the paste
is dry lay a paper over it and let it
remain a couple of days before brush
ing off.
To remove blood stains wet them
with kerosene and then wash in
warm, but not hot, water. Another
way is to drop peroxide of hydrogen
on then and then wash in warm
water.
To remove discolorations left on
clothes wringer by colored clothes rub
the rollers with a cloth which has
been wet with kerosene.
To remove yellow stains from the
margins of engravings carefully
sponge them with a solution of n.y.
drochloride of soda.

Perfumes from Summer Flowers

through and through with the oil
The next day a coarse cloth should
be laid loosely over a basin with a lip,
and the whole contents of the jar
poured into 1t. If the ends Of the
cloth are then drawn together the oil
will drip through by degrees, the
flowers being finally pressed so that
every available drop is squeezed out.
The oil is then ready to return to the
jar, and the flowers to be thrown
away.
With fresh flowers, varying them
from day to day, the same plan must
be followed until the oil Is strongly
perfumed. 1t will take some time to
impregnate 1t thoroughly with the
different scents. and to secure a real
ly strong perfume two or three weeks
will be required.
Eventually the oil should be meas
ured and an equal quantity of recti-
fed spirits mixed with It. The liquid
must be poured into a bottle, three
parts filling 1t, and left for a fort
night. It should be shaken every
day, If possible, and then left to set
tie for three days without being
touched. At the end of that time 1t
can be poured off into small bottles.
A particularly fragrant oil can be
infused from wild flowers. The COM
mon field blossoms, such as the mead
owsweet which grows along the river
banks, wild roses from the hedges,
smelling family but sweetly, and,
above all, h~oneysuckle, can be STEPPED
in oil and then pressed. The scent,
although requiring a little longer to
make than the stronger perfumed
garden flowers. is ~deliciously fragrant
in the end.

HANGER FOR GOWNS

Cut a piece of heavy cardboard seven
teen inches long and eight inches wide
and shape one side of ii like a coat
hanger. Now punch a small hole in the
centre one inch from the top and tie
a piece of ribbon or tape through 1t to
make a loop to hang it on.
In the lower edge make two holes six
inches apart and either insert large
safety pins or sew in hooks to hang
the skirt of FOUR gowns to.
This makes an inexpensive and very
satisfactory frame to hang your summer
lingerie or linen frocks and waists upon,
keeping them fresh for a long time after
they have been ironed.
These hangers may be padded with
raw cotton and covered with fancy silk
or lowered silkoline. A delicate sachet
powder s~prinkled over the cotton adds
greatly to their attractiyeness and per-
fumes the gown as we'll

THE VALUE OF SPICES

Experiments that have beer con-
Quoted recently with a view to de-
termining the preservative value OF
various spices and condiments seem
to establish the fact that certain
spices have a marked preservative
effect on foods.
Cinnamon, for instance, is found to
be a more powerful enemy of fer
ments than benzoic acid and at the
same time quite harmless. Other con-
diments that are useful as preserva-
tives are cloves and mustard, with
nutmeg and allspice effective in
somewhat less degree.
On the other hand such drastic
condiments a ginger, black pepper
and cayenne pepper do not hinder
the growth of germs.
Thus, it appears that cinnamon,
cloves, mustard, nutmeg and allspice
may be used with good advantage in
seasoning foods, since they are not
only palatable, but also exert a good
effect on the food itself. Ginger and
pepper, on the other hand, may well
be avoided, since they do not exert
any good effects on the food and are
irritating to the stomach.
