THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Dry bran will clean light furs and

velvet flowers, such as are used now
for dress and hat trimmings, and it

When you take up carpets be
careful in removing tin tacks that
edges of carpet are not torn; then
roll up carpets with upper part in
side and carry them away to be
beaten. AS soon as carpets are re-
moved, throw a few old tea leaves
(not too Wet) over the floor, sweep
room out, then wash boards with a
wet flannel, but be careful not to
throw too much water about, as it is
liable to damage the ceiling of the
rooms below. While floor is drying
beat carpet with long smooth stick
or carpet beater, if you happen to
have one. After carpet is beaten,
brush on both sides with stiff
broom. If faded or greasy in many
parts, sponge with an ox-gall mixed
with a pailful of cold water, or a
little grated raw potato and cold
water mixed, then wiped dry with
soft cloths; will make them look
clean and bright.

MEXICAN ESTATES.

Are Handed Down From Father to
Son-land is Cheap.
The great estates in Mexico are
handed down from father to son. 1t
takes an exceedingly large body of
land to support the owners in mod
crate luxury. Even where willing to
sell, the haciendadoes want to sell
the whole tract, and will not cut 1t
up or sell part. The price, when a
sale does take place, is from 25 cents
to $500 per acre. 1t Is more folly
than greed that makes the hacenda-
does try to perpetuate existing social
conditions. There could be no better
fortune for them than a good, consti-
tutional government, under which
they could subdivide and sell their
lands at prices such as prevail in
other countries. The secret of the
low value is not far to seek; there is
10 market for anything except ship
ping to foreign countries. The great
mass of the people can buy only a
few cotton rags and a bushel or so
of raw corn per month per family.
The wages they get are from 10 to so
cents per day in our money, the high
er price being paid right along the
border, where a short journey would
take the workman into the United
itates.

been friends for long time Several
years ago Miss Margaret formed the
habit of going to the homeof her friend
four blocks away from her own, so that
the two hight study their lessons to-
gether.
The trip going was all right, but
Miss Margaret and her parents soon
conceived dislike of the return trip
alone. And that is where Lassie comes
into the story.
Now when Miss Margaret goes to
study with her friend she makes 1t a
practice to call up her home on the
telephone at exactly o'clock every
evening. When the telephone bell
rings at that time Lassie makes q
leap for the telephone and, with her
forepaws on the table and her mouth
near the mouthpiece. waits eagerly
for someone to take down the receiver
and place it to her ear If someone
does not do this quickly Lassie barks
loudly to attract attention.
When the receiver is placed to her
ear Lassie barks into the mouthpiece
and then she hears her mistress say:
"Lassie, Pm ready to come home"
The dog barks assent and then hur-
| ries TO the door. II by any chance
the door Is shut she again barks to
have 1t opened. In few minutes Miss
Margaret and Lassie come home to-
gether, the schoolgirl having been es-
corted safely through the streets by
the dog. Each time this occurs Lassie
seems to realize that she has done
something out of the ordinary and Is
correspondingly proud of her achieve

She was ready to join anything just

Her friend then explained to her
the plan, which no longer was an eX-
pertinent, but which had been quietly
put to the test by herself and two
other women during the last few
months.
1--WE all do our own housecleaning,
paperhanging, and general renovating
together. When one of us Is ready
to clean, sew. or cook we invite the
others to assist. One or two days
each week are selected and we all
go to work with a vim. When we
cook we cook all three. Our dress
making is done on the same co-opera-
tive plan. We have dressmaker come

"It started by my asking Mrs. Jones
to help me prepare for children's

later she had occasion to call on me

call on each other In case of sickness.
We are going to give beach parties
and picnics next summer. Don't
you want to join us?"

vehemently; "that sounds good to

These women live in small town
and all have pretty homes, good hus-
bands, nice children. and comfortable
incomes. They have large circle
of friends, and by following this
plan are able to keep up with their
social duties without overtaxing them

four or five hours. Do not let the

II Forced Change, in Supreme Court
''f Custom. j fttls.saN
1t was formerly the practice of the
supreme court to sit from IL noon un-
til o'clock continuously on each day
that It was in session. From time to
time, as the afternoon progressed, the
justices. one or two at time, would
slip out of their seats, snatch a bite
of luncheon and return. Sometimes
as many as four or FIVE of them
would be Off the bench at once. They
usually had their lunches brought to
them by their messengers and ate 1t
In the little curtained recess behind
the bench, and as the argument pro-
gressed there could be plainly heard
in the courtroom the clink of knives
and forks on plates and what o.
Henry has called "the crash of dish
es on the American plan"
One day lawyer pleading case
made bold to enter a protest He
most solemnly inquired IL he could
count upon the continuous and undi
vided attention of even one justice
to the thread of his argument "The
personnel of the court has been twice
entirely changed 3ince l began" he
said plaintively.
The court deigned no response, but
on the following Monday it was an
nounced from the bench that re-
cess for luncheon thereafter would be
taken every day from 2 to 2:3o
o'clock and that the court would sit
until 4:30 o'clock every afternoon.

THE TABLE

Three Beef Dinners--It is difficult
to plan beef dinners for small fam
lily at moderate cost. Buy slice
clear across the round, about an inch
thick. Ask your butcher to save you
the third or fourth cut. This lis the
tender part of the round and some
prefer its flavor to that of porter
house. From the top part cut a
piece large enough for a steak for
today's dinner. Next day cut the
remainder into two-inch squares.

Diffusion of Heat.

Where hot air is used for heating,
especially where floor register Is
exposed to drafts, as in long hall,
the heat Is swirled up without diff
fusing. This can be remedied by
using square of sheet iron the size
of the register opening and fasten-
ed to four iron legs eight inches
high. When this is set over the reg
lister the heat will stream out on all
sides and not shoot up to the ceiling.
