EASY TO REPAIR FURNITURE
How Weak Parts May Be Strength
ened and Article Saved for
Future Use.

Dry rot is common In old furniture,
aad sometimes piece is too good to
throw away; the weak part can be
strengthened in this way: Scrape
The rotten wood from the piece OF
furniture, then spray the part with
coal oil. Make a mixture OF bees~ax,
melted rosin and sawdust and NIL
the holes. This will harden and make
a perfect wood cement. II the wood
Is dark mahogany color, add some
melted sealing wax to the mixture;
keep it not when applying it to the
wood. When vanished it does not
SHOW the patch.
When a round breaks in chair do
not remove the back or leg OF the
chair. wherever the damage Is done;
pull the round from the chair, repair
it il it is possible, then with an auger
n,cEe one Of the holes half inch
deeper. This will allow the round to
slip down into the ,!eepened hole, az
ter which the opposite end can be
lifted in place and glued.
The piece should lie fiat while dry
ing. or the round will slip out Of place.
This saves the trouble Of removing
other parts to remedy small break.

KEEPING THE LAMP IN ORDER

Best to Be Attained.

Despite the reign Of the electrolier
the lamp still has many followers!
Many take to lamps because they
must; some because the light it sheds
is softer, more becoming and better
for the eyes. 4
When a lamp fails to give a good
light do not waste time reViling the
manufacturer, but look to your own
duties.
Perhaps the wick is crooked, or too
short or not in squarely. Rub on the
top Of the wick each day with soft pa
per, and if ii fails to draw, pull 1t up
on the catches or get new one. IN
less sure you can put in the wick cor
rectly send the lamp to store and
have it done properly.
Perhaps a new wick Is less neces-
sary than removing the oil with which
it Is clogged. Boil in vinegar and
water and dry thoroughly.
Fill your lamp daily. Never light a
lamp that is nearly empty, as it in
creases danger Of explosion. FIJI a
lamp by daylight; Il IL must pe oohe

Too Bad

1t is funny to read the comments
Of English newspapers on the Pana-
ma Canal bill. The injured tone
which they adopt is peculiarly dis
tressing. 1t is too bad. Great Br-
tain has always been so generous in
her dealings with other powers.
When we reflect how she came by
Hongkong and gave China the bless
ings Of the opium trade; how she ac-
quired India and Gibralta. and the
control of the stock in the Suez Can
al; how she destroyed the manufac-
lures in Ireland, and what her orig
inal claim was on Canada. and her
last years transactions in Persia. and
her dealings with the Beers in the
long ago. we feel like crying our
selves that any other power should
hurt our old grandmother's feelings.

Taxing HOmesteads

tainly after the applicant for the par
eel OF land has proven up and procur-
ed his patent
However, the tax that has been I'M
posed this year on unprOvcn home
steads in Elko County hardly seem
fair. 1t is a hardship upon the poor
man who is trying to secure for HIM
self a home. to compel him to pay 4
tax upon valuation OF Sl.25 an acre
upon the land that he has not yet Sc
cured title to. 1t is all right to tax
the improvements on the land. Tho -e
improvements belong to the home
stcadcr; but the land does not belong
to him. He merely has a squatter' 5
right to the land until he has proven,
up. and to tax a poor man for some
thing he does not own is wrong in
practice and wrong in principle
Should the home steader who has no
title to the land he is occupying re-
fuse to pay the taxes imposed. how
could the county enforce collection?
Could it sell this government land for
taxes? 1t could not The land in fact
belongs to the government until the
