USES FOR oILcLoTH.

Oflc1oth used in the kitchen makes the room dainty to work in. also les sens the actual labor. A large piece for a table cover is of course a great convenience and it will make a good bread or pastry board, washed and dried with a, clean cloth. A piece back of the sink, covering the pipes and woodwork, will save much seruhhing, as it can easily be wiped off with a damp piece of flannel. Pantry shelves and bureau drawers can be covered and lined with it. and there are no dusty papers to be changed. Use mats of oiIcloth under the tray cloth at the table. A pastry bag can be made of it.
 Tn all households. especially where there are children to be amused. a harmless glue is much wanted. Tap ioca is good for this purpose. Take desired quantity cover with cold wa ter, put it over the fire and stir. add ing more water as it boils. It makes a good paste. This can be used to glue wood, leather or papers.

POLISHING COPPER BOILER.

A shinging copper hot-water boiler adds much to the appearance of a kitchen, as all housewives know The boiler may be kept in a state of briIliancy by the use of a solu- tion of oxalic acid and water. Five cents worth of the acid dis solved in a quart of warm water will last through many cleaning days.
 Best results are obtained by apply ing the solution to a warm boiler. After one application of the solution the boiler should be gone over with cloth wrung out in warm water and then polished with a dry cloth
 The best part of the process is that no elbow grease is required. In a few minutes dull, dingy boiler be- comes bright and shining with but lit eltefort.
 All copper articles not having a lacquered surface may be cleaned with this solution, and it also serves as a brass polish.
 Keep in a safe place, as oxalic acid is poison.

FOURTH DlsrRlcT CONTEST.

For some time interest will be di- rected towards the contest which has been started by Congressman Donovan of the Fourth Connecticut district against Congressnan-elect Ebenezer J. Hill of Norwalk. It is a step which has been threatened for long time, but in view of the conduct of the present congressman at Washing ton 1t can be of no surprise to the members of the lower house of con- gress. and in his own district it was considered the most natural thing in the world.
 MT. Donovan does not bring his con test because of the closeness of the result on election day. The figures would not support any such conten- ton for he was decisively beaten by the former congressman and there was ground for such result upon the basis of their records at Washington He takes his claim upon the ground of a violation of the corrupt practices act and against some good advice from those fin his own district.
 There is no question but what if the election was to be held over again today that he would be defeated by as great if not greater plurality than last November. Mir. Hill was the choice of the people upon the same tidal wave that swept the whole state. and that MT. Donovan went under was by no means surprising. There can be no question but what MT. HiIl rep resents the desire of the largest num- Der of people in that end of Connecti- cut and that he will welcome what ever investigation is sought to show 1t. It will clear up any further claims and attacks.

says: 'InxernIu-g was safeguarded quite as much as Belgium with in- ternationai pledges. and the terms of those pledges were shaped to please Prussia, which wanted them as bind ing e possible. But 1t is not alleged that Luxernburg was conspiring against Germany. Luxembourg had no army, ID possible means of resistance; its famous fortress had been leveled under the terms of the treaty which made its protection the collective duty of it's neighbors. Germany included Yet the aelplessness of the little duchy counted for no more than the sturdy resistance of Belgium, and the invasion Of Luxemburg mocks the plea that Germany's breach of faith was justi- fled by eBeIgiun's act of neutrality"
 The fact Is that Germany did not invade Belgium because it was con- spring against the kaiser, but because it was the easiest and quickest way of striking at France and the same holds true of Eixemburg.

THE PHIliPPIhE REun

It is unfortunate for the Philipnine policy or the present administration and the legislation now before con gress that there should be an uprising In the islands at this time. With the exception of that among the Moros if IS the first since the subduine of Aguinaldo. It was quickly suppress eds being discovered in time to have 1t amount to nothing more than a. fig zle. but it was not due to a. lack of sympathy among those expected to make it. It suffered from too great publicity, or too great alertness mon the part of the authorities for it was kniwn well in advance what the plans were and how extensive it might be expected to be. Such permitted of proper preparations to meet it and through that fact alone value preven- tive work was made possible.
 The display of a revolutionary ten dency cannot be interpreted as being a demonstration for greater self goy- ernment since it revealed a wrong at- tltude towards just such a proposition be1ore congress. When it is revealed that large uprising was expected in Manila and that there are many sec uons of the island possessions pre- pared to revolt, it is readily under stood that such people are in no con- dit4on to take care of themselves. To impose upon them more government rights before they are in a condition to handle them is only an invitation to establish such conditions as aI- ready exist in Mexico, at Hayti and San Domingo. These examples alone are sufficient warning against the dangers confronting such a. policy and it cannot be mistaken what this SUD- pressed revolution means, in the way of trouble under greater self govern meut.

THE TANGO BRACELET.

Of course, the tango is directly re- sponsib1e for the bracelet of that name, meaning the ankle strap belonging to the sandals or dancing shoes. The smartest of these shoes show vamps of black patent kid, uppers of white suede, instep straps of white suede blocked with black squares and fasten- ing at either side of the foot with rather large jet buttons, while the angle strap in black blocked white fastens with a jet buckle of conven- tionaI harness shape.
 But the tango bracelet is worn even when the instep is not strapped. It IS found above satin slippers, whose vamps are exqu1sitely embroidered and 1t is seen with many a dainty made bronze kid slipper. Again, some girls prefer to have entirely separate ankle straps of black silk elastic ornamented with slides set with rhinestones, pearls, crystals or colored jewels"

TEeT ATTACKS.

VyFsen Germany made itg raid upon @Tle English coast it was quite eF1- 5n[s4 graas # was only the Beginning eP sreater activities directly between Gernary and Great Britain. More o9 sucla have been anticipated and there is no doubt they will be attempt eza IL s a chance which Germany has through such ga1lies to demon a4raee that it's navy is not entirely slsefess or even bottled up. and to baxags the country towards which largo part of the blame for the war ss directed by the Teutons. The ef- forts to get at the English coast through Belgium failed and it became time for the navy to show what 1t was capable of accomplishing.
 That 1t is not to be entirely -one- sided has been disclosed by the air ship raid made by the British upon Cuxf1aveI1. Even though it failed to accomplish any great results, or to even drive the German vessels out to combat, it discloses the disposition ot the British to do its part in making the North sea a greater fighting ground in the future than it has been in the past. They are not going to be satisfied with maintaining a block ade or of sitting still under the Ger man offensive. An attack upon Cux- haven is far different than an assault tppon the Yorkshire coast even though in ffie British attack no lives were lost and no great property loss occasion cd. Cuxhaven is one of Gernany'f strongholds and the attacking of fl a much more serious undertaking thar sending waxships against the seashore resorts of England. Regardless how, ever. of the results attained in these two test excursions, more significance is attached to what may be expected fn the future as the result thereof.

After beating comb it with a coarse comb, conlbing up the right way of the fur.

When the teeth have been badly neglected and allowed to decay beyond a certain point it is better to have them all extracted than to keer them in ones mouth, to the destruction of one's comfort, appearance and health Bad teeth poison the whole system, filling it with decayed matters en- gendering disease and a foul breath.
