NO EASY MATTER TO SWEEP
Carpets 'and Rugs May Be Preserved
or Damaged, According to How
1t Is Done.

IL is not an easy matter to sweep
well. When a broom is put into the
hands of the inexperienced, more
harm than good generally results from
the use of It,
Light sweeping and soft brooms are
desirable.
Many carpet Is prematurely worn
out by careless sweeping.
In sweeping thick piled carpets al
Ways brush the way Of the pile.
BY doing SO 1t may be keep clean
for years; but If the broom Is used
In different way the dust will enter
the carpet and soon destroy 1t.
II the carpet covers the whole floor
OF the room and it Is nailed down,
place the chairs and other articles Of
furniture which can be easily moved
In the middle of the room, pin up the
curtains and cover the couch with an
old sheet.
Pieces Of damp paper may be
sprinkied round the sides of the room
and then sweep with a carpet broom
toward one place.
Take short strokes, being careful
not to raise the brosm much.
Sweep the corners and edges with
small whisk broom.
Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
into one gallon of water; wiring a
cloth out Of this and wipe the carpet.
This will remove the dust and help
to brighten the carpet.

The Research Enalneer.

About q decade ago the great ad-
vantage to be derived from bringing
the scientist directly to the manufac-
turer's workshop, provided this could
be done in the proper spirit, becomes
evident, and the institution now we'll
known as the Industrial research
laboratory has gradually become firm
ly established. There are those who
still maintain, and, no doubt, correct
ly, that the worlds greatest discov-
cries come from independent investi-
gators working alone, often amid great
hardship, driven on by the fire Of
their own enthusiasm and complete
absorption in one idea, Be that as
1t may, the Industrial laboratory has
now to its credit some remarkable
achievements, which would do honor
to any university investigator. 1t is
also worth NOTING that these achieve
ments are due In great measure to
that broad dictatorship over research
work which, while not imposing irk4
some restrictions, guides It toward
useful ends. While spectacular re.
suits bring great credit to Industrial
research In general, and to this de.
partment in particular, It seems to
be fact, nevertheless, that such de-
partments represent an excellent in.
vestment even when measured by the
value Of their day-to.day services of a
minor character rendered to a great
Industrial organization. Electrical

ANECDOTES OF FAMOUS WIT
Life Of Labouehere Of London Truth
RepIete With Incidents Worth
the Telling.

One OF the most fascinating Of the
many books OF biography that have
appeared during the present PUBLISH
ing season is the one dealing with the
life Of Henry Labouchere. It is cram
med with good stories told by or
about this remarkable man, most of
them relating to his career In the dip
lomatic service.
While he was in Washington he.
planned little holiday excursion, and
he was just about to start when he
received letter addressed in the we'll
known handwriting Of his chief.
Suspecting that the instructions it
contained would render his holiday
impossible, he put the letter unopened
In the tail pocket of his coat and pro-
ceeded to carry out, with great salts
faction to himself, the holiday he had
planned.
Then, when he was quite ready to
return, he opened the letter, which he
had carried the whole time in his
tail pocket, and found that his suspi-
cions of its contents had been very
well founded.
He sat down, therefore, and wrote
nice letter of apology to his chief,
beginning: "Your letter has followed
me here" Which, after all, was
nothing but the simple truth!
Some Of his most amusing diplo-
matte experiences occurred in Ger
many, and he was especially proud of
the popularity he enjoyed at Frank
fort. which he explained in this way:
Sometimes there was a ball at
court, which the foreign diplomatists
were expected to attend. At the first
ball Labouchere attended he found
himself at supper next to a grandee
very gorgeous in stars and ribbons.
When a servant came to pour out
champagne, which Labouchere detest-
ed, he shook his head.
The grandee Immediately nudged
him. Let him pour it out" he said.
Labouchere signed to the man to
pour out the glass Of champagne, and
the grandae explained in a whisper
that their host never gave his guests
more than one glass. $50 you see,"
he added, "if drink yours + shall
have two"
After this" Labouchere used to
say, there used to be quite a strug-
gle to sit next me at court suppersl"

KEEPING MACHINE IN ORDER
systematlc Care VIII Make Sewing
Easier and Proions the Lhe Of
the Machine.

.H.
1t is simple matter to keep the
sewing machine in perfect ofjer. but
1t Is q rare thing to find one that is
properly cared for. Here are a few
hints from a woman who has discov-
cred that II she wants any tool to do
good work she must take good care Of
1t.
In the first place, a iignted match
or candle will do wonders for a Sc "
Ing machine. You light the match or
candle and apply 1t to the wheels and
.ccss. All the lint and threads that
have caught there and wrapped around
them IN burn and the char tlat re-
suits can easily be wiped OFF with a
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running OF your machine.
Then. too, another cause of bad
running machine Is that the oil In
machine gums. 1t is really very little
trouble to remove the head. place It
in big pan and wash it in gasoline.
1t makes an old machine run like
new one, or even easier than a new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline is not lubricant, so
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly. you
must oil the machine with a good lu.
bricating oil. If you try these two
things whenever your machine begins
to run little hard, think you will
be agreeably surprised at the result"

spectacle of strikers barricaded in the

attempting to gain admittancc, was re-
vealed here today when postmen re-
sumed their strike of protest against

At luncheon time strikers on the

wine, and sent them UP on strings low
cred by their fellow-workers inside.
Gendarmes have penetrated to some
sections of the postoffice, but the
strikers hold the sorting room.
The government is making every ef-
fort to belittle the strike. Minister of
Posts and Telegraphs Thomson says
only second class mail is affected.
There were no postmen delivering let
tiers, however. and IL was known that
the authorities are considering a forci-

strikers, and to send troops 20 act as
