Aluminium Pots and Pans.

Scraping aluminium cooking utensils must always be done with q wooden spoon, since aluminium is soft and scratches easily Strong alkahS are not available because they attack and dis solve the metal Only mild soaps must be used. How. then, can that horrid discolOratlua be removed? Ii is very simply done.
 Take a piece of rhubarb, either fresh or canned, cut it into small pieces and boil the pieces in the discOlorcd kettle until it is clean The acid of the rhu- barb will remove the discoloration without in any way injuring the metal. Of course the rhu5arb used for the pur- pose must be thrown away afterward. When vessel has been cleaned i'll this way it will need little rubbing up to secure a bright metallic surface.-Pop- ular Science Monthly.

DARED TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

LAS we dined together one evening
in a widely known Berlin restaurant,
we were conversing in English"
writes Adele n. and Russell Phillips,
in the Atlantic Monthly. Seated at
the next table was a quartet OF Off
GERS, home On furlough. Presently
waiter stepped up to us and said that
the officers objected to our speaking
the English tongue. Knowing that we
were well within our rights, we refus-
ed to discontinue the conversation.
The four officers then rose. stood stiff
ly at attention, and demanded that we
be elected from the restaurant. 1t was
very unpleasant and humiliating ex-
perience, but, as We look back, we can
not fail to see the humor of it, with
the men standing so ridiculously
straight in the center of the place.
THE American, as host, approached
the group and endeavored to explain:
but he was swept aside with naughty
gestures. When he returned to the
table. the proprietor informed him
that he would be unable to serve the
rest of the meal, and we were compel
ed to leave the restaurant The Incl
dent leaked into print and caused con-
siderable discussion. The verdict,
however, was in favor of the officers,
and their very rude and uncalled for
action met with universal approba-
ton"

Dove of Peace Sidetracked.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 1.-THE
dove of peace which had been report
ed headed for the national republi-
can committee headquarters here
apparently had-temporarily at least
lost its way today.
Scheduled to meet in conference
with the advisory and campaign COM
mittees of the party this morning.
the national committeeman finally
postponed the meeting until late this
afternoon 1t was announced official
" that this action was taken because
a dozen committeeman had failed to
arrive. 1t was apparent, however,
that preliminary efforts of the
apostles of party unity had not met
with any great degree Of success and
that the forenoon was not regarded
as opportune for harmony meeting.
So far as the candidacy of John T.
Adams for the championship was
concerned, George w. Perkins, was
maintaining obdurate opposition.
Perkins was reinforced by FRANK
Hitchcock and leaders of the progress
sive wing of the party.

diana, who hope ultimately to align
with Hays the full progress sive
