HOUSEHOLD HINTS OF VALUE
Small Things in Themselves, but They
viii Be Found Well Worthy
Of Consideration.

TO make house ferns grow rapidly,
place four or fave pieces of charcoal
on ton of the soil. Keep the flower pot
in II jardlnlere, with plenty of water
and its rapid movement will be aston
lshing.
Try rubbing your stove we'll with
vinegar before applying the backing
and you will be surprised at how much
brighter your polish will be and how
much longer 1t will last than If the
backing were applied to the unclaimed
iron.
To clean the white kid shoes now so
much in vogue make paste of corn
starch and gasoline, keeping the mix
ture away from the fire, preferably
out of doors. Rub the shoes thorough
~ and leave In the sun to dry, when
all supertluous powder may be rubbed
off with dry cloth. This prepara-
ton is also excellent for cleaning white
felt.
The raveled threads from old linen
will be found best for darnlng table
cloths or napkins.
Save all tea leaves for about week
and place them In pail, over which
may be poured boiling water. Allow
them to stand for one hour then strain
and bottle the liquid. This, when APP

NIGHT He WILL REMEMBER
Prospeetor's Encounter With Grizzly
Bear Not One Of the Most Pleas
ant Experiences.

prospector named Whately, who
was collecting specimens near Cooke,
Mont, says the New York Evening
Post Magazine, worked too long, and
decided to spend the night In the
mountains. The weather was warm
and pleasant, and he stood his rifle
against tree and lay down to sleep.
In the course OF the night he was
awakened by the heavy breathing of
u large animal and an oppressive and
very dlsagreeable odor, Half-con-
scious of something standing over him,
he lay perfectly stu.
Soon there was grunting and snuff
ding close by his head, and he under
stood that he was underneath griz-
ely bear A cold sweat came over
him, aud he was paralyzed with fright.
Whately's rifle was out of reach. He
had no knife. and he feared that the
grizzly might attack him at any mo-
ment Acting on sudden impulse,
he doubled up his knees, and with all
his strength plunged both his fists and
feet simultaneously against the stom'
aeh OF the beast.
II was a complete surprise for the
grizzly. which was even more fright
| ened than the man. II ran squenl'
Ing and believing into the timber
while Whately, whose knees Were
| Knocking together with fright, gath
cred up his goods and struck out foI
Cooke City In the dark, He did no
dare to pause until he was safe in th'
settlement.

It may be interesting the UngOists in the two
Chicago conventions republican and progressive
who are howlng for great preparedness with their
mouths have nothing unusual to offer in tler
platforms: it might be interesting to ingosts,
we say, to know that Japan with them. and that a

Here. perhaps. they can muster the Japanese vote,
Cor their candidates and platform, which may
not be taken a compliment. We take our tip from
an article given recent publication 10y Adachi Kim
nosuke. n brilliant Japanese writer who has spent all
mis- life in the United He puts the matter in
a way that isn't complimentary. but plausible and
possibly true.
Japan would like 20 build a powerful navy
because indisputable supremacy of America

and calmness OF judgment which come from the con-
seriousness Of power" Wien us. he says. with all
other peoples panic and hysteria the pro-

afraid Of is a weak, blufHng hysterical America
Most Of us. he tells us know little about Japan and
her position the East and ready to swallow
any wild tales gospel truth. With the added poise
that consciousness of adequate power would give,
we would regard Japan calmly dispassionately in
any controversy affecting the relations of the ma
tons And that would mean the assurance of con-
tinued peace because Japan herself will start
anything i don't. \ against the United
states SAYS the writer would simply national hari-
kari for Japan"
Another reason why Japan would like TO step
into unquestonable naval supremacy according to AIR
Kinnosuke: 1T would let Japan build up her navy
little too. and in comfort" As matters stand every
time she talks Of building another worship two,
there is an alarm sounded i'm this country According
to Admiral imperial minister for the unless

vded for Japan Obliged take her place be-
side China. Greece and Spain" She doesn't want TO

WHAT is \ REPUBLICAN?

Many years ago when the demo-

What Is a Democrat" Thanks

can guess what republican is.

Lodge? If Lodge is a republican,
what is Works? If Works is a re-

a republican. what is Roosevelt?
What becomes of the pro-ally re-
publican vote in the east and the
pro-German republican vote in the
middle west, and where do the re-
publican pacifsts and the republic
an militarists get off?
Roosevelt and the war have man
aged to do for the republican party
what Bryan and free silver did for
the democratic party. In conse-
ouence. the republican party today
is without principles or issues or a
candidate or a character. and that
is what all the trouble is about. A
political party cannot be dishonest
with itself and Eot be dishonest with
the country, and the republican
party is now so intellectually
crooked that it trips itself up at
every step.
The gathering at Chicago is nomi-
nally a political convention. but ac-
tually il is a political shell-game,
with Roosevelt trying 10 bunco the
