SHED AT HOMEMADE SOAP.
The Sight Of It Used to Make Stuart
Robson Shudder.

A good story is told of one of the boy
hood experiences Of the late Stuart
Robson. the comedian. 1t was the Gus
tom of his mother to keep scrap book
of household recipes clipped from the
newspapers. She came across one that
told how to make CASTLE soap and
started in at once to make it.
The recipe for this soap called for tai
low grease and fat combined with col
oring matter and I've, and the advan-
tage claimed for it was that it econ
omized the scraps in the kitchen.
The first person upon whom the soap
was tried was young Robson. who was
given a cake of it to use while taking a
bath. Early one morning he entered
the bathroom armed with a towel and
a huge cake of the homemade soap. A
few minutes after wild yells were
heard from the bathroom.
The whole household ran to the spot
and after some delay, succeeded in
forcing an entrance. There Mrs. Rob
son found her hopeful son in semi
state of commissions, fiercely dancing
around in a hystercal attempt to rid
his body of a bright tan colored layer
of grease.
1t seems that as soon as young Rob
son had stepped from the bath the soap,
which he had used plentifully, had in
most peculiar manner hardened on
him like cold gravy in dinner plate
and chung to him tenaciously, utterly
refusing to be wiped off.
The combined efforts of his parents
succeeded in scraping it off, but from
that day to the day of his death Mr..
Robson had strong aversion to home
made soap.

Qualifications for the Federal Judiciary

less right in charging the Senate
with partisanship; he is clearly right
in his implication that President Taft
has himself acted the partisan. But
his reasons for urging the confirma-
ton of Mr.. Taft's candidates are
shaky. One of them is that the two
men in question-Judges Carpenter
and Cutting-have had ample judi
cial experience. But judicial exper-
fence and the judicial temperament
are not necessarily united in the
same person. Another of his reasons
Is that Bar Association committee
Of prominent Chicago Democrats and
Republicans has advocated the con-
6rmation. But such non partisanship
is at best kind that no longer has
much significance. Mr.. Wigmore's
other reason, that these two men
''have demonstrated their ability and
integrity" wouldn't 60 far though the
facts were conceded as to both of
them. Something more than integ-
rity and ability are necessary. No

Of Chief Justice Marshall; but Meth
er he, if he were living, nor any Judge
like him, would be a proper person
for Democratic Senators to fasten
upon the Federal bench for life at
such a time as this. Having had a
recent mandate from the people to
reverse the Federalistic policy that
has run riot in national affairs ever
since the Civil War, the Democratic
party has better work before it than
perpetuating Federalistic influences
on the Federal bench. With Mr..
Wigmore's view that ability and in
tegrity and not partisanship should
govern in the choice of judges, and
that judicial experience is a desira.

FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Simple Methods That viii Keep Them
Alive, Fragrant, and a Pleasure
for Many Days.

To make flowers last a week or
more four things are necessary. First.
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in
pail of water for a few hours so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them In the living-room, for
they are not used to such a temporal
ture. Every night put the vase In a
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in pail OF
water. Fourth, cut about quarter OF
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water, but it pays. If you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
