A good way to remove old wall pa
per is to use the following solution.
A thick pasty solution should be
made by adding -four and few
spoons of salt in boiling water. After
this is made add few ounces of
acetic acid, which may be purchas-
ed at any drug store. This pasty
solution should be applied with a
brush to the wall paper in quantities.
After few minutes the old paper
can be removed in strips very easily
and with very little dust or dirt.

Iowa's prosperity is indicated in
the increase in receipts for automo-
bile licenses and in general fees as
shown by the records in the Office of

Many OF Lord Beaconsheld's most INF
| portant letters arc now In the hands
OF collectors in the United states; n
fact which il is interesting to bear in
mind In connection with the impend-
/ ing publication of the life and cor
respondcnce of that celebrated states
man. now in course OF publication in
England.
1t seems that in 1855 tho London
publishing house of Murray issued a
| volume entitled Lord Beaconsteld s
| Home Letters. Written in lS30-1S31"
! This was followed in 1885 by Lord
| Heaconsiields Correspondence With
leis Sister: 1881 to 1852" After the
publication of these books. the letters
upon which they were based were sold,
and most OF them have come to Amer
lea Some OF them remain behind and
they are OF such an unvarnished char
acter as to leave no doubt as TO the
racy nature of those which are now in
America. They were printed in a sadly
mutilated and bowdlerized form in the
two books which have mentioned
II is, indeed, the portions of the letters
that were omitted. which furnish the
most interesting feature thereof
To give an instance: there Is one
letter written. by Lord Beaconsneld to
his sister. from the House OF Commons
dated May 80, 1850. i'm which he de-
scribes quarrel between Mr.. Birch
tutor OF the then eight year-old Prince
OF Wales, and the prince consort
owing TO the latter Offering objections
to having his eldest son taught the
catcchisn OF the Church OF England
Mir. Birch threatened 10 resign. and to
make public the cause OF his resigna-
ton. unless he had his way; and the
matter, after having been put UP TO the
Queen and TO the Premier of tho day
was decided against the prince consort
and in favor of the tutor and OF the
catechisn. Commenting on this, Dis
raell writes that he wonders 10 what
creed the prince consort wished the
Prince of Wales to be brought up
whether it was "Lutheranisnl. Panthe-
ism. or Bunsenism."
1t is difficult to conceive what Queen
Victoria would have said II she could
have known Of the disrespectful. con-
temptuous manner in which Lord Bea-
consfield had written about that hus-
band whose memory she revered 10 SO
intense degree to the end OF her days
Beacons!ield owed much OF the extra
ordinary favor which he enjoyed on her
part. TO his arfectation OF reverence for
the memory OF the prince consort, and
had she seen this letter. her attitude
towards Beaconsheld and his policy
might have undergone q considerable
change.
Tho volumes OF Lord Beaconshclds
Life and Letters" now being published
in London, Of which two volumes have
already appeared, will NOT be complete
unless all these letters in the hands OF
American collectors are included. and
IT this Is Impossible, it may be hoped
mat they may be placed within the
reach OF some particularly eminent H.
eFary man on this side of the Atlantic.
