 THE sPoILS

The postmaster general has al ready virtual nullified the or der placing fourth class post masters civil service; the con- gresS, in framing the income tax provision of the tariff law, created from 300 to 400 spec ial clerkships in the treasury, with specific provision that they should not be filed by civil service, and when the con ference committee was con sidering the tariff bill for the last time some ingenious dem ocrat slipped in a joker" which virtually empowers the secretary of the treasury to weed out every republican in the internal revenue service and fill the vacancies without civil service examination.
 Postmaster General Bureson steadily and rapidly is prying out of office republican post masters. In some of the east arn states he is throwing them out by wholesale; in other states. the substitution of democrats for republicans is going ahead less rapidly, but f is Mr. Bufleson's plan, be- sore he retires from office, to wipe clean the slate of post masters and to subistute dem 3crats for repbulicians.

A House in Miniature.

THE fastidious small doll need no
longer use a special sort of furni
ture, which comes from Germany, and
has been in vogue in doldom for years,
of somewhat uncertain period and style.
She can now find in some of the most
exclusive shops perfect miniature copies
of the mahogany furniture used in the
house of her small mistress parents,
and yet of size suitable for a dolls
house.
Highboys, eight or ten inches high,
old fashioned cradles, bureaus, chairs
and beds can all be obtained in ma
hogany stained wood. A dminutive
mirror. gilt framed and with a pretty
colored print in small panel at the
top, suitable for hanging over the high
boy. can also be had for the asking.
Simple brass candlesticks and tiny white
wax candles would be suitable acces-
sories for colonial room I'm a doll s
house, and rag rugs, crocheted. can be
purchased i'm sizes beginning as small as
three inches in diameter.
White enameled furniture for the dolls
house is made for bedrooms, living rooms
and dining rooms. and a whole house can
now be furnished in white.
All the latest convenienceS and labor
saving devices, vacuum cleaners, sew
ing machines, typewriters. chatting dishes
anu dutOluODlleS, are also mace III sizes

size. Fireplaces. with ever-burning fires
of tnsel, come five inches high, with

Renovating Cane Chairs.

ANE-SEATED chairs are improved
~ by scrubbing with borax. but soon
look grimy again. This is because the
gloss has been taken off and such chairs
should be thoroughly dried in the sun and
then vanished and they will then look
like new The same is true of willow.
Nabhtha soap is splendid for cleaning such
furniture. and this is what a furniture
dealer would use on it. after sandpaper-
ing off all the wooden parts. and last
of all vanishing.
If you do not wish to go to the expense
of having a chair recaned, cut out the old
cane, scrub off the old varnish. then buy
some leather and have it cut the shape
OF the old seat, and One-haf inch larger
every way. SO as to cover completely the
cane holes. Tack in the new seat with
brass headed tacks set half an inch apart.
then give the chair coat of paint all
over. and it will look like new. The
leather seat. besides being much hand
somer and less expensive than cane, is
easier to put in.

SEWING ROOM HINTS.
When Learning to Sew.

COMEHOW the woman who can't sew
- appears to the one who can to be a
helpless creature who does not want to
learn how. because any woman may learn
who will put her mind upon the subject.
1t is extremely important to the woman
with a small income. as 1t is the surest
and best means of reducing the expense
OF dressing well. and. considering the al
most unlimited appliances for the help of
the woman who sews. it has become COM
paratively easy, not for a few talented
ones, but for the average woman starting
out with little knowledge of the subject
She can scarcely go wrong. Nine-tenths

and expel the mosquitoes. Wipe off win
dow and door screens with kerosene every
few days. Mosquitoes will not alight near
kerosene. and they will keep away from
the windows if its odor be present.
An excellent liquid to use in a spray
to reach insects between boards or around
doors is gasoline and carbolic acid. An
atomizer will answer for a spray, but
beware Of fire.
When mice will no longer go into a
trap, smoke the trap for five minutes.
The smoke seems to remove the odor
which warns them.
For insect bites make a preparation of
equal parts of camphor, hartshorn and
ether, and add a few drops of oil of
sassafras A very little OF this will cure
the pain from a severe bite
