A New Crossing on White River.

According Ia the Democrat at Ora

have started construction of fat
boat to he used on the White river at
Anderson'S ranch. They expect To
have the boat completed, the APP
proaches constructed and everything
in reaGiacss Tor crossing by the last Of
this week. This is beir z done by the
club so that Draper can draw her
share of business from Melletie coun
ty.
They claim that the boat will enable
people to cross when the river is high
and that there is solid bottom and a
good crossing when il is too low 10
use the boat. also that the approaches
tothc river and the roads leading
away are les, billy and better there
tnan at any other point along the
river.
Thos" who are in poaition 10 know
claim that the roai To Draper from
Wood Is a great deal better than to
any other point on the Milwaukee. and
the map shows that we are about ten
miles nearer there than Murdo, the
present hauling point on the north.
If such a road could be established,
il would be welcome TO those who are
cumpelled to make the trip to the
railway on the north.

Sense Of late.

In many cases the sense of smell is
wanting from birth, but the sense OF
taste has never been found to be alb.
sent. So says DR.. r. Forester. Ger
man authority, in an article repub
lished in the Scientific American. Even
a newborn child which, in conse
quence Of insufficient development,
had no brain. still had a sense OF
taste; its facial expression altered
when substances of different taste
were given to it. The fact that the
sense of taste is never absent at birth
shows of what Importance this sense
is for the existence Of man. With
age the sense of taste becomes less
extended through deadening Of the
nerve endings, and near the close OF
life ceases altogether. Under the
same condition, therefore, old people
taste much less effectively than young.
er people. In the child the sense OF
taste is more widely distributed In
the mouth than in other people.

KEEP PIANO IN ORDER
INSTRUMENT NEEDS CARE If

Keys Must Be Kept Clean and Care
Taken That the inside Of the
Case 10 Kept Perfectly Free
From Dust.

The keys OF a piano should be regu-
larly wiped off with a soft piece Of
silk orscheesecloth. II they are much
soAed it may be necessary to wet the
cloth with water or a few drops Of al
cohol; but they should be dried imme-
diately. In case the keys are of cellu-
loid alcohol should not be used. In no
case use soap or a washing powder. II
ink is dropped on ivory keys 1t is prac-
tically impossible to remove 1t, and
new piece Of ivory must be substi-
tuted. Celluloid keys may be polished
by adding to pumice powder either
benzoline CT turpentine, or even milk.
Black keys, II not Of ebony, may be
retouched with black spirit enamel ap-
piled with a camel's hair brush.
The interior of plano is often a
repository for dust, scraps Of paper
and even the nests of mice. These
should be removed with much care.
To get at the inside of a piano 1t Is
necessary to take 1t apart more or
less. Usually the lifting of the lid re-
veals the necessary wood buttons or
screws. On releasing these the front
will come loose, the fall" or key
board cover can be lifted away and
the key-slip in front of the keys be
unscrewed and removed. These in
vestigations should be made by one
who knows something of piano con-
struction or by one who has a me-
chanical knack for putting things back
where they belong.
The. dirt can be removed with a stifi
brush and the wires cleaned with fine
emery cloth, glass paper or a piece
of thick leather dipped in an equal
mixture of -four emery and coarse
emery in paraffin oil.
The felts on the hammers can be
cleaned by applying dry pipe clay and
then rubbing It OF with a nailbrush-

To prv.cIean Curtains.

To dry-clean fine lace curtains at
home, shake curtains thoroughly to
remove dust; fold a clean sheet once
across, spread it upon the floor and
place the curtain upon it. Mix to-
gether corn meal and powdered borax,
one teaspoonful of borax to one pint
of corn meal. Sprinkle generously
over first curtain, lay another curtain
upon it, proceed as before and con-
tinue until you have sprinkled the
mixture on all the curtains to be
cleaned.
When all are done and there is
last layer of the mixture on top, begin
at the end OF the sheet and roll up
tightly. Lay away the bundle for ten
days, at the end of which time, If re-
moved and carefully shaken. the cur
tains will be found beautifully
cleansed. II there are wrinkles they
may be pressed out with hot iron

Fruit Dryer.

Perhaps this simple method Of dry
ing fruit for winter use may help some
busy housekeeper to save time.
Make a frame of soft wood two
inches wide, and one inch thick that
will cover the top of your stove, and
tack on this frame good wire screen
ing. At each corner drive in a staple,
also drive staple in the ceiling Just
above the stove corners.
Now securely fasten stout cord In
the staples farthest from you. and run
the cord up through both staples in
the ceiling and then down to the
staples near you and fasten. In this
way one may lower the screen to the
proper distance for drying or raise 1t
up out Of the way when wishing to
use the stove. A large quantity may
be dried quickly in this way. Apples
dipped in weak salt water will not
turn dark while drying.

MIGHT MAKE WORLD BETTER
Spread Of irwin Disposition" Surely

There are twin girls and they live
at New Rochelle. They are several
years old apiece. 1t is popularity sup
posed that their mother can tell them
apart, but nobody else can. II she
cannot she does make that fact public.
It is enough that each probably can
tell herself apart, but even this Is not
necessary, for they are so devoted to
each other that they are as one, and
1t makes no difference which one.
They are inseparable. loving and con-
siderate. Each regards the other as
the only one.
These heavenly twins live next door
to a lady who loves them as they
deserve and between their home lawn
and hers there is no dividing fence.
A few days ago one Of the twins. by
some extraordinary circumstance sepa-
rated a moment from her other self,
went to visit their older friend. An
orange was lying on the table and af-
ter the exchange of the usual cour-
tesies the hostess gave 1t to her guest.
It was received with thanks and at
once he hostess realized that a dupli.
cate must be sent to sister. She went
to her larder to get 1t and when she
returned to the front room her visitor
had disappeared. Madam stepped to
the door and across the lawn she saw
a speck of twin, running toward her
own home, her hair flying and fat legs
twinkling in the sunlight. Madam
called her back and she returned pal

BLEACHING LINEN IN HOUSE
Good Substitute for Sun and Grass,
Which Is, of Course, the Best
Way of Doing 1t.

The very best and safest plan FOR
bleaching unbleached linen and cot
ton is the good old method used in
our grandmothers' days of wetting
the material thoroughly and spreading
1t on the clean grass in the full sun
that 1t may do the work. The mate
rial is made wet again each time 1t
becomes dry, and after a few days 1t
will have become soft and fine In
texture and of a beautiful snowy
white, simply through natures agents.
But If time, space and a propitious
season are lacking, the best way is to
soak the material for over night in a
rinsing water containing javelle wa
ter, an ordinary washing fluid, which.
judiciously used, does not materially
weaken the fibers of clothing while
bleaching 1t very nicely. About a cup
full with the rinse water for each tub
is ordinarily used and the clothing is
left in the rinse water for a longer
or shorter time, according to its
state.
For your unbleached linens and
cottons you might use two cupfuls OF
javelle to the tub and let them soak
several hours or even over night
Then rinse thoroughly. blue, and ex-
pose while quite wet to the sun and
air. 1t will probably not be neces'
sary to repeat the treatment, and
each repeated washing will whiten
them more and more.

Two Cars Are Added
By Capital. Traction

Two more street cars were run by
the Capital Traction Company this
morning between 7:N and 75l from
Eighth street east and Seventh street
west. making a difference between cars
of one and two-thirds minutes apart.
The order for this increase of service
was issued last Monday by the Inter
state Commerce Commission following
recommendation OF the District Electric
Railway Commission.
Orders to avoid stops at Church and
Riggs streets, Pierce and Wallach
places on the Fourteenth street line,
and several other short stops on the
North Capitol and Brightwood lines
are being gladly obeyed by the street
car companies, for time is being saved.
Passengers are not inconvenienced be-
cause the regular stops, full squares
apart are no great distance from the
halfway streets, at which stops are not
now allowed.
The new "owl car service on a num-
ber of lines goes into effect a week
from this evening.

WOMEN BEAT MEN IN VOTING.

Women are undoubtedly enthusiasts in anything
they undertake. whether it is pink tea, bridge whist
or the battle for equal suffrage. In the last named
department some of them, at least, have been more
than enthusiastic they have been forceful, aggres-
their penchant to do nothing by halves may be
cleaned by the action of women in recent election
in Cambridge, Mass.
Deprived of the opportunity to express their pref
erence for municipal officials they more than made
UP for this lack in the in which they invaded
the voting precincts to oust an undesirable member
of the school board who had fallen under their dis
approval.
Ii was perfect merry goround of skirts at the
polling booths. The men were crowded out. With
natural courtesy the men stepped aside to give the
women first chance. But this was a continuous per-
formance from the opening to the closing of the
polls. The unlucky member of the school board was
counted out. OF the total number of registered fe-
male voters, more than 80 per cent temporarily for
sock their household duties to prnk up and 60 to the
polls
was noticeable that they did not waste much time
in discussing the situation with each other The usual
political workers at the polls left them severely alone
They came they marked their ballots, and conquered
In the matter of the voters, 70 per of the
registered vote is considered good showing while
the average runs between 65 and 90 per cent.
In this one instance, the women manifested that
when it comes to a show down they put it all
over the men in getting out votes, and that in the
face of the fact that not single female used the
numerous vehicles to take voters to the polls.

In view OF the astonishing deliverance

country become a dangerous heresy
Which '"it is the solemn duty of every

Where else but In the people does the
theory OF our political institutions lodge
supreme and final authority? And II
It Is not finally for. the voice Of the
