His Hunt For Home.

On one occasion De Pachmann. the
famous pianist. with his nervous and
irritable temperament. was summoned
to appear before Queen Alexandra at
Buckingham palace. He obstinately
refused to go. His friends labored with
him for hours and ut last persuaded
him not to commit an impertinence
which would never be forgiven by the
English people.
Finally he was dispatched in cab.
The night wore on to morning. and
the frantic wife Of the pianist and his
friends could learn nothing Of what
had become Of him. At last a forlorn
looking cab drove up to the house.
and De Pachmann dismounted. On
leaving the palace he had forgotten
where he lived and could only tell the
cabman that it was in square with

How to Clean Lace With Maanesis

TO" 20 NSeSU Lace WIN "a0neSia.
Very fine lace. when slightly soiled.
can be beautifully cleaned in a prepa-
ration Of block magnesia in which a
small quantity of dry blueing has been
sifted. Scrape the magnesia from the
block. use dry blueing if obtainable.
then coat the lace on both sides with
the substance. Wrap it in several
thicknesses of folded towel and beat
the towel lightly from end to end. side
to side. and repeat until the lace is free
from all dust.
This is an exceptionally successful
method Of cleaning Irish crochet and
silk laces. When too badly soi!ed make

CAUGHT BY A POSTAL TRAP.
Ire Iwopsnny Detective 10 Often
Employed In ENGLAND.

'' "opS"Hy OetectIve" 10 OFTEN
Employed In England.
Oetectlves. lawyers clerks and 9TH
ers OFTEN experience great difficulty in
optalhlng an undoubted specimen of
certain persons signature. In one
case recourse had to be had to mar
riage register In another the only
signature procurable was on the fly
iea1 OF a book which the suspect had
presented to relative, and only two
OF three years ago q testimonial to q
sea captain was brought into court,
because among the signatures to it
was one for which the police had long
hunted in vain.
One Of the most common expedients
resorted to for overcoming this diff
Guilty is employing the ''twopenny de-
tectlve'-that is. sending a registered
letter to the person whose signature
is wanted. And this is frequently
successful. Thinking the postal packet
contains money or valuables. the ad-
dressee unsuspectingly signs the re-
ceipt only to discover that inside the
envelope there is nothing but a "fak-
ed" letter.
This trap once caught an anonymous
letter writer-a woman-who. on be-
ing interrogated shortly before. had
declared that she could not write, and
whose friends believed her to be H.
literate. 1t was. in fact. mainly in

SALTING O. MINES.
Modern Engineers Have Eliminated the
old Time Faker.

old Time Faker.
Many mining engineers at one time
or another have been "sultei. but few
ever mention it. At the most they may
apologetically tell of it in after years
as something that happened in their
younger days when they were green
hands. Few tell about it promptly,
when exposure may do some good.
says the editor of the Engineering and
Mining Journal.
There is nothing disgraceful in an
engineers being salted, in SO far as he
is concerned. The disgrace belongs to
the man who commits the crime. Nor
is the engineer justly open to criticism
unless he has been grossly careless or
has displayed bucOlic guilelessness,
neither of which can generally be
charged to an experienced engineer.
No matter how careful be the pre-
cautions to safeguard his samples that
the engineer may take, the villainous
will find ways to tamper with them If
they be clever enough. There is far
less Of this now than there used to be
for the reason that the engineer has
developed systems of check samples
and other methods that act as tell
tales. and there is no particular use in
anybody sailing a lot of samples if
the trick is going to be discovered
promptly.
In many of our mines of nowadays,
moreover. such as the porphyry cop
per mines. the sampling is so extern
sive an undertaking. running so long
and employing so many men. that a
sailing system almost beyond concep-
ton would have to be devised in order
to be successfully carried through. On
the other hand. the drill sampling of
gold dredging ground is singularly diff
ticult to safeguard. and if there be
united with that a wide reaching sys-
tenn, possible under certain conditions.
as it appears, the combinat ton is we'll
nigh irresistible.

it with hot water and soap. then rub
it very lightly with lard. Wipe II
carefully with absorbent cotton to re.

Never allow irons to get red hot. as
it takes the temper out. Do not put a
hot iron in water to cool it: stand it
Oh one side for few minutes.
1t is unwise to put irons directly
over the gas fame, as it spoils the
iron. In the absence of a special de.
vice for holding them use an asbestos
mat.
When possible colored goods should

the coloring. All wool underwear ought
not to be ironed. as ironing causes it to

How to Cure Hiccups.

Hiccups can be as troublesome as
any Of the minor ills which aggravatc
mankind. but from time out Of mind
there has been remedy for every i'll.
and hiccups share the lot Of other ills
in this respect.
One old cure for hiccups is this:
take three or four preserved dam
sons in your mouth at time and
swallow them by degrees" A tempta-
ton this would seem to be to children
Of another generation to have attacks
Of hiccups.
Water drinking often stops this trou
ble. The water should be slowly swal-
lowed. not gulped down-swallowed
like the damsons. by degrees.
The best water treatment is this:
Fill the mouth with cool water. Hold
each forefinger over the lobe of the
ear, closing it tight. Then swallow the
water very slowly. If this operation
is properly carried out it is almost sure
to cure hiccups.
Still another remedy is sugar, and
this acts like a charm with some per-
sons. The sugar should be of the gran
ulated sort. and full teaspoonful
should be taken at once. 1t should be
swallowed slowly.
Holding the breath is sometimes eff
cacious. Hold it and count twenty or
thirty slowly.
In severe cases Of hiccups accom-.
panying illness champagne, a spoonful
at time. is sometimes found Of use.
Sometimes, too, expert massage Of the
abdomen cures hiccups.
