down the obstacle that has prevented
his execution on a charge of murder.
Physicians who have had Carson
under observation say this is the first
display of any emotion on his part
of which they have record. and that
conclusions heretofore accepted as
proving him insane may be reviewed.
Carson is being subjected to a new

KEEPING FLOOR IN CONDITION
Perfection Of Results May Be Achieved
by the Use Of Polish Easily Put
Together at Home.

Polishing floors is hard work. and
calls for no end of elbow grease.
For hardwood, or stained-wood floor,
take eight ounces Of yellow beeswax,
one quart of Venetian turpentine; cut
the wax into small pieces and pour
the turpentine over it, and let it stand
in a vessel OF warm water until dis
solved. which it will readily do; then
bottle. Apply a very little at a time
with a flannel cloth, rubbing until
there is none left on the surface. then
proceed until the whole floor Is nm
ished. 1t keeps the. floor in excellent
order and the polish is required ordi'
narily about once In six months.
Soapsuds should never be used on
hardwood floor that is oiled or waxed.
All that is needed is to wipe with a
cloth dampened In a little warm water
say wash basin full to which about
two tablespoonfuls of coal oil has been
added. One tablespoonful to the bas-
In will be enough for anything unless
very dirty. The oil should be well
stirred into the water, the cloth just
dampened, wrung out as dry as posi-
BILE before use, and the floor polished
afterward with a clean flannel cloth.
This is good for mating also.

Mutton Pot.

This is good cooked in a casserole.
II you haven't a French casserole, an
ordinary bean pot will produce the
same flavor, but this dish is not so
'presentable on the table. Take two
pounds of neck of lamb or mutton, not
too fat, cut in two inch pieces and
put into the pot with half a cup Of
sliced onion Drowned in some mutton
fat Add two cups of boiling water
and cover. Simmer or cook in moder-
ate hot oven for two hours. Parboil
the potatoes, pint, cut in cubes. but
do not add to the meat until half an
hour before serving. Add two table
spoonfuls Of washed rice when the
meat has cooked half an hour, then a
cup of strained tomatoes and season
ing of salt. pepper and parsley. The
slower this cooks after the first half
hour the better.

Olympic Games Cause France to
Take Up Sports.
Owing to Generosity Of Marquis the
First French Athletic College 10
Being Built-WiII Soon Admit
Students.

Paris, France.-France has decided
to take up athletics seriously. Hither-
to in France athletes have had no
public sentiment behind them and no
public support financially. There has
been lacking the incentive of applause
to arouse enthusiasm, and what few
men have gone in for sport have done
so from pure love of it-and they have
been very few.
But after the Olympic games at
Stockholm the French public woke up
to the fact that their country was
making a pitiful showing.
When an obscure province like Fin
land startles the world by the prowess
of its athletes, when far-off japan and
Chile send men to these games and
France has but two representatives,
and one of these is a girl tennis
player-it seems time that something
is done.
Hence there was created the idea
of college of athletics" A commit
tee was formed last October which
issued a circular to the public.
The object first in mind was to take
charge of what athletic material there
was already and train 1t for entrance
in the Olympic games at Berlin In
1916, to try to gain some athletic hon
ors there II possible.
But it was seen at once that this
would be only beginning. II France
was to take Its proper position In the
athletic world there was need Of much
more than this. The idea was extend
ed to creating at the proposed college
OF athletes a school also for athletic
instructors, at the same time conduct
ing a campaign Of publicity that would
interest the youth of the nation and
would lead in time to the establish
ment Of similar training colleges all
over the country.

How to Serve Young Carrots.

Scrape and chop, or cut into very
small dice, bunch of small new car
rots. Put porcelain pan over the fire
with butter the size of guinea egg,
and when melted add the carrots and
stir and turn often with a spatula or
broad knife. Season with salt and
pepper and cook at moderate heat in
order to draw out the natural juices
of the carrots. This will keep them
from burning. After they have cooked
five minutes dredge lightly with -four;
add a very little water, stir again and
In five minutes add little more -four
and water. Cook until tender. The
result should be a creamy, perfectly
delicious mass and unlike any carrots
