Helpful Remedies.

Do you know that equal parts OF
turpentine and ammonia will remove
paint from clothing no matter how
hard 1t may be? Saturate the paint
two or three times and wash the spot
with warm water and soap. II
If the hands are covered well with
soap and it is allowed to dry before
polishing the stove, the polish will
not adhere to the hands and will
wash off without any trouble. - - 5,

What Makes the. Corn Popt

Every one knows and likes that
humble but cheerful dainty, popcorn.
But how many can tell what makes
the corn pop? A writer in Harper's
Weekly explains:
A kernel of popcorn is filed with
tightly packed starch grains. The in
terror of the kernel is divided into q
large number Of cells, each Of which
may be likened to a tiny box, the
walls of which are strong enough to
withstand considerable pressure from
within. Upon the application of heat.
the moisture present in each little box
is converted into steam that finally
escapes by explosion. The grain OF
corn then literally turns inside out"
and is transformed into a relatively
large mass of snow-white starch.

We may see old history repeat itself in reverse,
The Turks had taken Adrianople as the allies
have done this last week Probably 1t will be but a
matter of time when the allies will move from

the Turks promoted by the dissensions Of
the Christian nations Feuds among the little
Balkan powers were as bitter then as they have
been recently. Genoa and Venice were the great
maritime powers and they gave but little help
to the besieged city. The story OF the four
months of siege reads almost word for word like
what we have been following in our daily news

in hopeless longing for rescue from Europe. The
same jealousies among the powers that until now
have maintained the mastery OF the Turk per-

Those young men who are seeking to enlarge

dorse any man. party or policy When the peo
pie take the trouble to register their will at every

they do or not the real will of the people will
