husband ill-treated her, told her trou-
bles to the Lord. The more modern
woman tells them to a lawyer
When a woman has poor figure. the
other women will do this much: They
will admit it is natural.
Every woman who does all her own
work knows what it means to exceed
the speed limit.
Give a woman rocking chair and
a handkerchief and she is prepared 10

When a woman talks beautifully Of
her faith in her husband, it is a pretty
good sign she has never been called
upon to use it.
Occasionally a woman looks at her
husband and wonders if she wouldn't
have been happier if she had remained
single Then she remembers the chill
dren, and decides that she wouldn't.
When a woman has more babies with
her on the street than she can we'll
manage, she usually also has a feather
on her hat which the wind has blown
out of place.
It takes a strong woman to say that
it came from the bakers when a guest
praises the cake.
After a woman has been married a

respect for the men than a good cook
has for hotel dinner.

Hints or the
Household

One OF the best and simplest methods
of ventilating a bed room is that of
procuring a piece of wood 4 inches in
depth and of the same breadth as the
window, ard inserting this along the
bottom of the frame after raising the
| lower sash. The window should then
be lowered onto the strip Of wood, fresh
air entering the room in the center be-
tween the two sashes
The longer candles are kept the bet
ter they are. Discoloration can be in
stantly removed by wiping with piece
of flannel dipped in spirits of wine. A
pinch OF fine salt in the cup of wax
round the wick makes the candle last
longer and burn much better Another
good tip is to varnish the candles with
white varnish. Don't use them for quite
ten days after this.
Often when one has purchased pair
Of boots one doesn't know till they are
home that they creaK. However, the
disagreeable noise may be stopped by
taking them back TO the shoemaker and
asking him to spring them on each side
and insert between the soles q tea
spoonful of French chalk. This process
costs only trifle and answers admira-
bly,.
If tumbIers become fixed tap gently
round with another tumbler and. like
magic, they will come apart. II glass
stopper is fixed, tap round It with an
other and it will be loosened. You will
always have the same result. The rule
is, tap each article with another of a
similar kind
Collars Of coats often become dirty
before the coat is worn out. A good
remedy is to rub the soiled part with a.
little pardffin oil on a soft cloth, and
then hang in the air for an hour to
take away any unpleasant smell.

Facts for Candidates.

Candidates before the August
primary have begun to deluge
the Attorney Generals depart
ment with inquiries about the
primary law, says a Frankfort
dispatch to the daily press. The
two questions that confuse them
most are with regard to the sig
natures to their petitions and the
method of voting. Many of
them are in doubt whether they
must have the signatures of a
certain per cent. of the voters
in every precinct in the county.
They have been informed that
where the law says a certain
per cent. Of the voters in a
county, they need pay no atten-
ton to precinct lines and may
get their signatures from any
part of the county. These sig
natures must be secured not
more than 90 or less than 80 days
before the primary. Others
wish to know if a party may by
writing on their ballots vote for
a candidate of another party, to
which the answer is no. The
same answer is given to those
who ask whether they write on
the ballot the name of a person
other than a candidate NOM
mated by petition.
